From de966cf4a4fa8d4e0357b08204bc791f34deb3fb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tim Chen Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2016 10:43:27 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] sched/x86: Change CONFIG_SCHED_ITMT to CONFIG_SCHED_MC_PRIO Rename CONFIG_SCHED_ITMT for Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 to CONFIG_SCHED_MC_PRIO. This makes the configuration extensible in future to other architectures that wish to similarly establish CPU core priorities support in the scheduler. The description in Kconfig is updated to reflect this change with added details for better clarity. The configuration is explicitly default-y, to enable the feature on CPUs that have this feature. It has no effect on non-TBM3 CPUs.
