[PATCH] sched: new sched domain for representing multi-core
Add a new sched domain for representing multi-core with shared caches between cores. Consider a dual package system, each package containing two cores and with last level cache shared between cores with in a package. If there are two runnable processes, with this appended patch those two processes will be scheduled on different packages. On such systems, with this patch we have observed 8% perf improvement with specJBB(2 warehouse) benchmark and 35% improvement with CFP2000 rate(with 2 users). This new domain will come into play only on multi-core systems with shared caches. On other systems, this sched domain will be removed by domain degeneration code. This new domain can be also used for implementing power savings policy (see OLS 2005 CMP kernel scheduler paper for more details.. I will post another patch for power savings policy soon) Most of the arch/* file changes are for cpu_coregroup_map() implementation.
