I just run the 3.14-rc1 kernel on panda board. The only domain for it is 'CPU' domain, but this domain has no SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES setting, it has no sd_llc.
Guess the right domain for this board should be MC. So is it a bug?
.. /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/cpu0/domain0/name:CPU .. /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/cpu1/domain0/name:CPU
Have you checked that CONFIG_SCHED_LC is set ?

Thanks for reminder! no it wasn't set. Does it means arch/arm/configs/omap2plus_defconfig need add this config?

Yes, it's probably worth enabling by default for all ARM arch.

Hmm..ok let me think this aloud. So looks like the SMT,MC and the NUMA sched domains are optional depending on the architecture. They are config dependent. These domains could potentially exist on the processor layout, but if the respective CONFIG options are not set, the scheduler could very well ignore these levels.
What this means is that although the architecture could populate the cpu_sibling_mask and cpu_coregroup_mask, the scheduler is not mandated to schedule across the SMT and MC levels of the topology. Its just the CPU sched domain which is guaranteed to be present no matter what.
This is indeed interesting to note :) Thanks Alex for bringing up this point :)
On PowerPC, the SCHED_MC option can never be set. Its not even optional. On x86, it is on by default and on arm looks like its off by default.
Thanks,
Regards Preeti U Murthy
