While staring at build_sched_domains(), I realized that get_group()
does several duplicate (thus useless) writes.
If you take the Arm Juno r0 (LITTLEs = [0, 3, 4, 5], bigs = [1, 2]), the
sched_group build flow would look like this:
('MC[cpu]->sg' means 'per_cpu_ptr(&tl->data->sg, cpu)' with 'tl == MC')
build_sched_groups(MC[CPU0]->sd, CPU0)
get_group(0) -> MC[CPU0]->sg
get_group(3) -> MC[CPU3]->sg
get_group(4) -> MC[CPU4]->sg
get_group(5) -> MC[CPU5]->sg
build_sched_groups(DIE[CPU0]->sd, CPU0)
get_group(0) -> DIE[CPU0]->sg
get_group(1) -> DIE[CPU1]->sg <=================+
|
build_sched_groups(MC[CPU1]->sd, CPU1) |
get_group(1) -> MC[CPU1]->sg |
get_group(2) -> MC[CPU2]->sg |
|
build_sched_groups(DIE[CPU1]->sd, CPU1) ^
get_group(1) -> DIE[CPU1]->sg } We've set up these two up here!
get_group(3) -> DIE[CPU0]->sg }
From this point on, we will only use sched_groups that have been
previously visited & initialized. The only new operation will
be which group pointer we affect to sd->groups.
On the Juno r0 we get 32 get_group() calls, every single one of them
writing to a sched_group->cpumask. However, all of the data structures
we need are set up after 8 visits (see above).
Return early from get_group() if we've already visited (and thus
initialized) the sched_group we're looking at. Overlapping domains
are not affected as they do not use build_sched_groups().
Tested on a Juno and a 2 * (Xeon E5-2690) system.
( FWIW I initially checked the refs for both sg && sg->sgc, but figured if
they weren't both 0 or > 1 then something must have gone wrong, so I
threw in a WARN_ON(). )
No change in functionality intended.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
