Subject: [PATCH v4 0/5] powerpc/smp: Topology and shared processor optimizations
PowerVM systems configured in shared processors mode have some unique
challenges. Some device-tree properties will be missing on a shared
processor. Hence some sched domains may not make sense for shared processor
systems.
Most shared processor systems are over-provisioned. Underlying PowerVM
Hypervisor would schedule at a Big Core granularity. The most recent power
processors support two almost independent cores. In a lightly loaded
condition, it helps the overall system performance if we pack to lesser
number of Big Cores.

Observation:
We are able to see Improvement in ebizzy throughput even with lesser
core utilization (almost half the core utilization) in low utilization
scenarios while still retaining throughput in mid and higher utilization
scenarios.
Note: The numbers are with Uncapped + no-noise case. In the Capped and/or
noise case, due to contention on the Cores, the numbers are expected to
further improve.
Note: The numbers included (sched/fair: Enable group_asym_packing in find_idlest_group)
