This patch introduces the basic SCHED_HMP infrastructure. Each class of cpus is represented by a hmp_domain and tasks will only be moved between these domains when their load profiles suggest it is beneficial. SCHED_HMP relies heavily on the task load-tracking introduced in Paul Turners fair group scheduling patch set: <https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/23/267> SCHED_HMP requires that the platform implements arch_get_hmp_domains() which should set up the platform specific list of hmp_domains. It is also assumed that the platform disables SD_LOAD_BALANCE for the appropriate sched_domains. Tasks placement takes place every time a task is to be inserted into a runqueue based on its load history. The task placement decision is based on load thresholds. There are no restrictions on the number of hmp_domains, however, multiple (>2) has not been tested and the up/down migration policy is rather simple.
