The one questino I have is, do we want default y?I also agree that default y is preferable.
I'll change at least the x86 one to: default y depends on SMP

The one nit I have is the Kconfig text, I'm not really sure that's clarifying what a cluster is.Do you have a preference of a different name other than cluster? Or simply better documentation on what a cluster is for ARM64 and x86 in Kconfig?
Yes, better wording as to what a cluster is. Currently the x86 and arm64 ones actually differ: x86: help Cluster scheduler support improves the CPU scheduler's decision making when dealing with machines that have clusters of CPUs sharing L2 cache. If unsure say N here. arm64: help Cluster scheduler support improves the CPU scheduler's decision making when dealing with machines that have clusters(sharing internal bus or sharing LLC cache tag). If unsure say N here. (also, all this stuff being replicated across arch/*/Kconfig seems unfortunate) _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
