This has been suggested as a possible way to stop replicating code between arm
and arm64 (and possibly other archs in the future). Are you in principle OK
with it?
Thanks a lot for your comments, please find my answers below.

This is how this function is defined in kernel/sched/sched.h:
#ifndef arch_scale_cpu_capacity
static __always_inline
unsigned long arch_scale_cpu_capacity(struct sched_domain *sd, int cpu)
{
if (sd && (sd->flags & SD_SHARE_CPUCAPACITY) && (sd->span_weight > 1))
return sd->smt_gain / sd->span_weight;
return SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE;
}
#endif
and in this case the sd argument is used: there is a call site in fair.c
that passes a non NULL sd, updated_cpu_capacity().
A following set of patches will re-define the function so that the
drivers one gets used by the kernel (only arm and arm64 will currently
want this), with something like this in arch code
#define arch_scale_cpu_capacity atd_scale_cpu_capacity
Please note that last patch of this set renames this function atd_scale_
cpu_capacity, to (hopefully) make this approach more clear.
Does it make more sense to you?

Patch 2/9 introduces some documentation. There is already more in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/cpu-capacity.txt.
Do you think I should improve further?

Humm, my intention for doing it this way is that I'd like to make all
the code dealing with cpu_capacity confined in a single place (this
file), without the need to modify other files.

AFAIU, for both arm and arm64 CPU device is registered with a
subsys_initcall(topology_init), so I'm doing the same. Other archs seem to do
similar things. Could you explain a little more why this is a problem?

Yeah, ugly. However, patch 7/9 is making cap_parsing_failed static. The other
two can be made static already, I should have done that in the first place. :(
BTW, with this set I'm trying to incrementally fix things (after moving code in
the new place), does it look reasonable to you or would you prefer to squash
intermediate steps?

OK, I'll try to fix the naming as you suggest. Thanks!
