SoCs such as the Ampere Altra define clusters but have no shared processor-side cache. As of v5.16 with CONFIG_SCHED_CLUSTER and CONFIG_SCHED_MC, build_sched_domain() will BUG() with:
BUG: arch topology borken the CLS domain not a subset of the MC domain
for each CPU (160 times for a 2 socket 80 core Altra system). The MC level cpu mask is then extended to that of the CLS child, and is later removed entirely as redundant.
This change detects when all cpu_coregroup_mask weights=1 and uses an alternative sched_domain_topology equivalent to the default if CONFIG_SCHED_MC were disabled.
The final resulting sched domain topology is unchanged with or without CONFIG_SCHED_CLUSTER, and the BUG is avoided:
For CPU0:
With CLS: CLS [0-1] DIE [0-79] NUMA [0-159]
Without CLS: DIE [0-79] NUMA [0-159]
