sched,x86: Don't use cluster topology for x86 hybrid CPUs
mainline inclusion from mainline-v5.16-rc5 commit cabdc3a8 category: feature bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/intel-kernel/issues/I8LVOX CVE: N/A -------------------------------- Intel-SIG: commit cabdc3a8 sched,x86: Don't use cluster topology for x86 hybrid CPUs. Cluster scheduler feature backport. -------------------------------- For x86 hybrid CPUs like Alder Lake, the order of CPU selection should be based strictly on CPU priority. Don't include cluster topology for hybrid CPUs to avoid interference with such CPU selection order. On Alder Lake, the Atom CPU cluster has more capacity (4 Atom CPUs) vs Big core cluster (2 hyperthread CPUs). This could potentially bias CPU selection towards Atom over Big Core, when Big core CPU has higher priority.
