    ARM: 7011/1: Add ARM cpu topology definition · c9018aab
    Vincent Guittot authored
    The affinity between ARM processors is defined in the MPIDR register.
    We can identify which processors are in the same cluster,
    and which ones have performance interdependency. We can define the
    cpu topology of ARM platform, that is then used by sched_mc and sched_smt.
    
    The default state of sched_mc and sched_smt config is disable.
    When enabled, the behavior of the scheduler can be modified with
    sched_mc_power_savings and sched_smt_power_savings sysfs interfaces.
