Subject: [PATCH v3 0/8] sched/fair: wake_affine improvements

Changelog v2->v3:
v2: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210506164543.90688-1-srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com/t/#u
 - Rebased to tip/sched/core
		(Valentin)
 - Update schedstat if target is current CPU
				(Valentin)
 - Search for idle-cores in LLC only if idle-core is -1

Changelog v1->v2:
v1 Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210422102326.35889-1-srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com/t/#u
 - Fallback LLC domain has been split out as a subsequent patchset.
   					(suggested by Mel)
 - Fix a panic due to two wakeups racing for the same idle-core
					(Reported by Mel)
 - Differentiate if a LLC surely has no idle-cores(-2) vs a LLC may or
   may not have idle-cores(-1).
 - Rebased to v5.12

Recently we found that some of the benchmark numbers on Power10 were lesser
than expected. Some analysis showed that the problem lies in the fact that
L2-Cache on Power10 is at core level i.e only 4 threads share the L2-cache.

One probable solution to the problem was worked by Gautham where he posted
http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1617341874-1205-1-git-send-email-ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com/t/#u
a patch that marks MC domain as LLC.

Here the focus is on improving the current core scheduler's wakeup
mechanism by looking at idle-cores and nr_busy_cpus that is already
maintained per Last level cache(aka LLC)

Hence this approach can work well with the mc-llc too. It can help
other architectures too.

Request you to please review and provide your feedback.

Benchmarking numbers are from Power 10 but I have verified that we don't
regress on Power 9 setup.
