Should we really do that ? Yes, it is the default behavior as stated in the documentation: "capacity-dmips-mhz property is all-or-nothing: if it is specified for a cpu node, it has to be specified for every other cpu nodes, or the system will fall back to the default capacity value for every CPU." and also in the error message: pr_err("cpu_capacity: partial information: fallback to 1024 for all CPUs\n"); -- <http://www.linaro.org/> Linaro.org │ Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: <http://www.facebook.com/pages/Linaro> Facebook | <http://twitter.com/#!/linaroorg> Twitter | <http://www.linaro.org/linaro-blog/> Blog

Rather it is forcefully updated in init_cpu_capacity_callback(): raw_capacity[cpu] = topology_get_cpu_scale(NULL, cpu) * policy->cpuinfo.max_freq / 1000UL; Maybe it is better to allocate raw_capacity once at boot and use another global variable as flag (raw_capacity is used as a flag right now at many places). -- viresh

Can we keep the proposed change as is to simply fix the default value?

Sure. But you still don't need to update raw_capacity[cpu] above as I pointed out earlier. You can drop those lines at least. -- viresh

In the case of assymetric SoC with the same micro-architecture, we have a group of CPUs with smaller OPPs than the other group. One example is the 96boards dragonboard 820c. There is no dmips/MHz difference between both groups, so no need to specify the values in the DT. Unfortunately, without these defined, there is no scaling capacity comutation triggered, so we need to write 'capacity-dmips-mhz' for each CPU with the same value in order to force the scaled capacity computation. Fix this by setting a default capacity to SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE, if no 'capacity-dmips-mhz' is defined in the DT. This was tested on db820c: - specified values in the DT (correct results) - partial values defined in the DT (error + fallback to defaults) - no specified values in the DT (correct results) correct results are: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpu_capacity 758 758 1024 1024 ... respectively for CPU0, CPU1, CPU2 and CPU3. That reflects the capacity for the max frequencies 1593600 and 2150400.
