ANDROID: arm64: Enable max freq invariant scheduler load-tracking and capacity support
Maximum Frequency Invariance has to be part of Cpu Invariance because Frequency Invariance deals only with differences in load-tracking introduces by Dynamic Frequency Scaling and not with limiting the possible range of cpu frequency. By placing Maximum Frequency Invariance into Cpu Invariance, load-tracking is scaled via arch_scale_cpu_capacity() in __update_load_avg() and cpu capacity is scaled via arch_scale_cpu_capacity() in update_cpu_capacity(). To be able to save the extra multiplication in the scheduler hotpath (__update_load_avg()) we could: 1 Inform cpufreq about base cpu capacity at boot and let it handle scale_cpu_capacity() as well. 2 Use the cpufreq policy callback which would update a per-cpu current cpu_scale and this value would be return in scale_cpu_capacity(). 3 Use per-cpu current max_freq_scale and current cpu_scale with the current patch. Including <linux/cpufreq.h> in topology.h like for the arm arch doesn't work because of CONFIG_COMPAT=y (Kernel support for 32-bit EL0). That's why cpufreq_scale_max_freq_capacity() has to be declared extern in topology.h. Signed-off-by:Dietmar Eggemann <dietmar.eggemann@arm.com> Signed-off-by:
