I'm afraid that in case we want to change the mapping of scheduler
(topology) flags (like SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES) via `*_flags()` of
default_topology[] we would have to consider all ACPI corner cases (see
cpu_coregroup_mask()) as well.

See (1) further down.

Right but that's not really correct from the scheduler's POV.

Juno has LLC on cpumasks [0,3-5] and [1-2], not on [0-5]. So the most
important information is the highest Sched Domain with the
SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES flag. This is the MC layer (cpu_core_flags() in
default_topology[]). So the scheduler would think that [0-5] are sharing
LLC.

You have LLC at:

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index2/shared_cpu_list
^^^^^^
0,3-5

but the scheduler sees the highest SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES on MC:

cat /sys/kernel/debug/sched/domains/cpu0/domain1/flags
^^^^^^^
... SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES ...

(1) IMHO, as long as we don't consider cache (llc) information in DT we
can't have the same coverage as ACPI.

Let's take an ACPI !CONFIG_NUMA Kunpeng920 as an example.

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/sched/domains/cpu0/domain*/name
CLS
MC
DIE

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/sched/domains/cpu0/domain*/flags
SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE SD_BALANCE_EXEC SD_BALANCE_FORK SD_WAKE_AFFINE
SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES SD_PREFER_SIBLING
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE SD_BALANCE_EXEC SD_BALANCE_FORK SD_WAKE_AFFINE
SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES SD_PREFER_SIBLING
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE SD_BALANCE_EXEC SD_BALANCE_FORK SD_WAKE_AFFINE
SD_PREFER_SIBLING

cat /proc/schedstat | awk '{print $1 " " $2 }' | grep ^[cd] | head -4
cpu0 0
domain0 00000000,00000000,0000000f
domain1 00000000,00000000,00ffffff <-- (2)
domain2 ffffffff,ffffffff,ffffffff

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/topology/thread_siblings_list
0
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/topology/core_cpus_list
0
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/topology/cluster_cpus_list
0-3
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/topology/core_siblings_list
0-47
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/topology/package_cpus_list
0-47

The MC mask 00ffffff is not derived from any topology mask but from the
llc (index3) mask:

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index3/shared_cpu_list
^^^^^^
0-23 <-- (2)


Coming back to the original request (the support of Armv9 L2 complexes
in Android) from Qing on systems like QC SM8450:

.---------------.
CPU |0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7|
+---------------+
uarch |l l l l m m m b| (so called tri-gear: little, medium, big)
+---------------+
L2 | | | | | | |
+---------------+
L3 |<-- -->|
+---------------+
|<-- cluster -->|
+---------------+
|<-- DSU -->|
'---------------'

This still wouldn't be possible. We know that Phantom Domain (grouping
after uarch) is not supported in mainline but heavily used in Android
(legacy deps).

If we say we only support L2 sharing (asymmetric here since only CPU0-3
have it !!!) and we don't support Phantom then your approach will work
for such systems.
