The goal is to prevent the wake up of a CPU which doesn't share the power

Do you mean SD_SHARE_POWERLINE here ?
No, I just don't want to take hyperthread level for ILB

Can you please expand "idle CPU _close_ the pack buddy CPU" ?
The goal is to packed the tasks on the pack buddy CPU so when the
scheduler needs to start ILB, I try to wake up a CPU that is close to
the buddy and preferably in the same cluster
I see your point now. Thanks for clarification.
