Linux kernel source tree
8fdcca8e25
When we are using a system with big.LITTLE HMP configuration, we need to use EAS to schedule the system. As can be seen from kernel/sched/topology.c: "EAS can be used on a root domain if it meets all the following conditions: 1. an Energy Model (EM) is available; 2. the SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY flag is set in the sched_domain hierarchy. 3. no SMT is detected. 4. the EM complexity is low enough to keep scheduling overheads low; 5. schedutil is driving the frequency of all CPUs of the rd;" This means that at the very least, schedutil needs to be available as a scheduling policy for EAS to work on these systems. Make this explicit by defaulting to the schedutil governor if BIG_LITTLE is selected. Currently users of the TC2 board (like me) has to figure these dependencies out themselves and it is not helpful.

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.
