ANDROID: sched/fair: keep track of energy/capacity variations
The current EAS implementation does not allow "to boost" tasks performances, for example by running them at an higher OPP (or a more capable CPU), even if that could require a "reasonable" increase in energy consumption. To defined how much reasonable is an energy increase with respect to a required boost value, it is required to define and compute a trade-off between the expected energy and performance variations. However, the current EAS implementation considers only energy variations while completely disregard the impact on performance for the selection of a certain schedule candidate. This patch extends the eenv energy environment to keep track of both energy and performance deltas which are implied by the activation of a schedule candidate. The performance variation is estimated considering the different capacities of the CPUs in which the task could be scheduled. The idea is that while running on a CPU with higher capacity (e.g. higher operating point) the task could (potentially) complete faster and thus get better performance.
