2017-01-19sched/x86: Remove unnecessary TBM3 check to update topologyTim Chen
Scheduling to the max performance core is enabled by default for Turbo Boost Maxt Technology 3.0 capable platforms. Remove the useless sysctl_sched_itmt_enabled check to update sched topology for adding the prioritized core scheduling flag.

2016-11-28x86/sched: Use #include <linux/mutex.h> instead of #include <asm/mutex.h>Ingo Molnar
asm/mutex.h is gone from the locking tree, which makes sched/core break the build. Use linux/mutex.h instead, which is the canonical method.

2016-11-24x86/sysctl: Add sysctl for ITMT scheduling featureTim Chen
Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 (ITMT) feature allows some cores to be boosted to higher turbo frequency than others. Add /proc/sys/kernel/sched_itmt_enabled so operator can enable/disable scheduling of tasks that favor cores with higher turbo boost frequency potential. By default, system that is ITMT capable and single socket has this feature turned on. It is more likely to be lightly loaded and operates in Turbo range. When there is a change in the ITMT scheduling operation desired, a rebuild of the sched domain is initiated so the scheduler can set up sched domains with appropriate flag to enable/disable ITMT scheduling operations.

2016-11-24x86: Enable Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0Tim Chen
On platforms supporting Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0, the maximum turbo frequencies of some cores in a CPU package may be higher than for the other cores in the same package. In that case, better performance (and possibly lower energy consumption as well) can be achieved by making the scheduler prefer to run tasks on the CPUs with higher max turbo frequencies. To that end, set up a core priority metric to abstract the core preferences based on the maximum turbo frequency. In that metric, the cores with higher maximum turbo frequencies are higher-priority than the other cores in the same package and that causes the scheduler to favor them when making load-balancing decisions using the asymmertic packing approach. At the same time, the priority of SMT threads with a higher CPU number is reduced so as to avoid scheduling tasks on all of the threads that belong to a favored core before all of the other cores have been given a task to run. The priority metric will be initialized by the P-state driver with the help of the sched_set_itmt_core_prio() function. The P-state driver will also determine whether or not ITMT is supported by the platform and will call sched_set_itmt_support() to indicate that.
