[PATCH v2 05/13] sched: Enable SD_BALANCE_WAKE for asymmetric capacity systems

From: Morten Rasmussen
Date: Wed Jun 22 2016 - 13:05:54 EST


Systems with the SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY flag set indicate that sched_groups
at this level or below do not include cpus of all capacities available
(e.g. group containing little-only or big-only cpus in big.LITTLE
systems). It is therefore necessary to put in more effort in finding an
appropriate cpu at task wake-up by enabling balancing at wake-up
(SD_BALANCE_WAKE).
