[PATCH v4 07/10] x86/sched: Add SD_ASYM_PACKING flags to x86 ITMT CPU

From: Srinivas Pandruvada
Date: Wed Sep 21 2016 - 15:21:06 EST


From: Tim Chen <tim.c.chen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Some Intel cores in a package can be boosted to a higher turbo frequency
with ITMT 3.0 technology. The scheduler can use the asymmetric packing
feature to move tasks to the more capable cores.

If ITMT is enabled, add SD_ASYM_PACKING flag to the thread and core
sched domains to enable asymmetric packing.
