Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/3] sched: Introduce cpus_share_l2c
Introduce cpus_share_l2c to allow querying whether two logical CPUs
share a common L2 cache.
Considering a system like the AMD EPYC 9654 96-Core Processor, the L1
cache has a latency of 4-5 cycles, the L2 cache has a latency of at
least 14ns, whereas the L3 cache has a latency of 50ns [1]. Compared to
this, I measured the RAM accesses to a latency around 120ns on my
system [2]. So L3 really is only 2.4x faster than RAM accesses.
Therefore, with this relatively slow access speed compared to L2, the
scheduler will benefit from only considering CPUs sharing an L2 cache
for the purpose of using remote runqueue locking rather than queued
wakeups.
