Morten Rasmussen 9c63e84db2 sched/core: Disable SD_PREFER_SIBLING on asymmetric CPU capacity domains
The 'prefer sibling' sched_domain flag is intended to encourage
spreading tasks to sibling sched_domain to take advantage of more caches
and core for SMT systems. It has recently been changed to be on all
non-NUMA topology level. However, spreading across domains with CPU
capacity asymmetry isn't desirable, e.g. spreading from high capacity to
low capacity CPUs even if high capacity CPUs aren't overutilized might
give access to more cache but the CPU will be slower and possibly lead
to worse overall throughput.

To prevent this, we need to remove SD_PREFER_SIBLING on the sched_domain
level immediately below SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
