Rely on the scheduler topology information to implement basic LLC awareness in the sched_ext build-in idle selection policy. This allows schedulers using the built-in policy to make more informed decisions when selecting an idle CPU in systems with multiple LLCs, such as NUMA systems or chiplet-based architectures, and it helps keep tasks within the same LLC domain, thereby improving cache locality. For efficiency, LLC awareness is applied only to tasks that can run on all the CPUs in the system for now. If a task's affinity is modified from user space, it's the responsibility of user space to choose the appropriate optimized scheduling domain.

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 reStructuredText 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.
