Hi all,
here is a few test scenario I would like to add to the pm-qa.
test_01: the sched_mc feature is enabled in the kernel
check the presence of the 'sched_mc_power_savings' file
test_02: the topology is implemented in the kernel
check the value of the physical_package_id file is different from "-1"
test_03: the topology files are present
check the presence of the topology files for each cpu: * core_id * core_siblings * core_siblings_list * physical_package_id * thread_siblings * thread_siblings_list
test_04: the change are effective for sched_mc
check the ability to change the value [0-2] of the 'sched_mc_power_savings' file
test_05: the topology is consistent
check the consistency of the topology files * for each package: * count the cores -> the number of cores is 2 ^ (nr_cores - 1) -> all core ids are between 0 and nr_cores - 1
Concerning the functional tests, I need some hints :)
On the architecture we have, that will be difficult to verify sched_mc works as expected. If I understood correctly, in order to test that, we should have a dual Cortex-A9 to check a program with two processes eating a lot of cpu cycles will be bounded in the same socket_id when sched_mc_power_savings=2. The other processor staying idle or not running any of these processes, right ? AFAIK, there is no such hardware, no ?
