sched/topology: Skip duplicate group rewrites in build_sched_groups()
While staring at build_sched_domains(), I realized that get_group() does several duplicate (thus useless) writes. If you take the Arm Juno r0 (LITTLEs = [0, 3, 4, 5], bigs = [1, 2]), the sched_group build flow would look like this: ('MC[cpu]->sg' means 'per_cpu_ptr(&tl->data->sg, cpu)' with 'tl == MC') build_sched_groups(MC[CPU0]->sd, CPU0) get_group(0) -> MC[CPU0]->sg get_group(3) -> MC[CPU3]->sg get_group(4) -> MC[CPU4]->sg get_group(5) -> MC[CPU5]->sg build_sched_groups(DIE[CPU0]->sd, CPU0) get_group(0) -> DIE[CPU0]->sg get_group(1) -> DIE[CPU1]->sg <=================+ | build_sched_groups(MC[CPU1]->sd, CPU1) | get_group(1) -> MC[CPU1]->sg | get_group(2) -> MC[CPU2]->sg | | build_sched_groups(DIE[CPU1]->sd, CPU1) ^ get_group(1) -> DIE[CPU1]->sg } We've set up these two up here! get_group(3) -> DIE[CPU0]->sg } From this point on, we will only use sched_groups that have been previously visited & initialized. The only new operation will be which group pointer we affect to sd->groups. On the Juno r0 we get 32 get_group() calls, every single one of them writing to a sched_group->cpumask. However, all of the data structures we need are set up after 8 visits (see above). Return early from get_group() if we've already visited (and thus initialized) the sched_group we're looking at. Overlapping domains are not affected as they do not use build_sched_groups(). Tested on a Juno and a 2 * (Xeon E5-2690) system. ( FWIW I initially checked the refs for both sg && sg->sgc, but figured if they weren't both 0 or > 1 then something must have gone wrong, so I threw in a WARN_ON(). ) No change in functionality intended.
