Subject: [PATCH 1/3] sched: Create sched_select_cpu() to give preferred CPU for power saving
In order to save power, it would be useful to schedule work onto non-IDLE cpus
instead of waking up an IDLE one.
To achieve this, we need scheduler to guide kernel frameworks (like: timers &
workqueues) on which is the most preferred CPU that must be used for these
tasks.
This routine returns the preferred cpu which is non-idle. It accepts max level
of sched domain, upto which we can choose a CPU from. It can accept following
options: SD_SIBLING, SD_MC, SD_BOOK, SD_CPU or SD_NUMA.
If user passed SD_MC, then we can return a CPU from SD_SIBLING or SD_MC. If the
level requested by user is not available for the current kernel configuration,
then current CPU will be returned.
If user has passed NUMA level, then we may need to go through numa_levels too.
Second parameter to this routine will now come into play. Its minimum value is
zero, in which case there is only one NUMA level to go through. If you want to
go through all NUMA levels, pass -1 here. This should cover all NUMA levels.
This patch reuses the code from get_nohz_timer_target() routine, which had
similar implementation. get_nohz_timer_target() is also modified to use
sched_select_cpu() now.
