Vincent Guittot b4c9c9f156 sched/fair: Prefer prev cpu in asymmetric wakeup path
During fast wakeup path, scheduler always check whether local or prev
cpus are good candidates for the task before looking for other cpus in
the domain. With commit b7a331615d ("sched/fair: Add asymmetric CPU
capacity wakeup scan") the heterogenous system gains a dedicated path
but doesn't try to reuse prev cpu whenever possible. If the previous
cpu is idle and belong to the LLC domain, we should check it 1st
before looking for another cpu because it stays one of the best
candidate and this also stabilizes task placement on the system.

This change aligns asymmetric path behavior with symmetric one and reduces
cases where the task migrates across all cpus of the sd_asym_cpucapacity
domains at wakeup.

This change does not impact normal EAS mode but only the overloaded case or
when EAS is not used.

- On hikey960 with performance governor (EAS disable)

./perf bench sched pipe -T -l 50000
             mainline           w/ patch
# migrations   999364                  0
ops/sec        149313(+/-0.28%)   182587(+/- 0.40) +22%

- On hikey with performance governor

./perf bench sched pipe -T -l 50000
             mainline           w/ patch
# migrations        0                  0
ops/sec         47721(+/-0.76%)    47899(+/- 0.56) +0.4%

According to test on hikey, the patch doesn't impact symmetric system
compared to current implementation (only tested on arm64)

Also read the uclamped value of task's utilization at most twice instead
instead each time we compare task's utilization with cpu's capacity.

README

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.
