So we prefer processes to be run on them vs other lower frequency ones for extra performance. We extend the asym packing feature in the scheduler to support packing task to the higher frequency core at the core sched domain level. We set up a core priority metric to abstract the core preferences based on the maximum boost frequency. The priority is instantiated such that the core with a higher priority is favored over the core with lower priority when making scheduling decision using ASYM_PACKING. The smt threads that are of higher number are discounted in their priority so we will not try to pack tasks onto all the threads of a favored core before using other cpu cores. The cpu that's of the highest priority in a sched_group is recorded in sched_group->asym_prefer_cpu during initialization to save lookup during load balancing. A sysctl variable /proc/sys/kernel/sched_itmt_enabled is provided so the scheduling based on favored core can be turned on or off at run time.
