      cpufreq: Call cpufreq_disable_fast_switch() in sugov_exit() · 6c9d9c81
      Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
      Due to differences in the cpufreq core's handling of runtime CPU
      offline and nonboot CPUs disabling during system suspend-to-RAM,
      fast frequency switching gets disabled after a suspend-to-RAM and
      resume cycle on all of the nonboot CPUs.
      
      To prevent that from happening, move the invocation of
      cpufreq_disable_fast_switch() from cpufreq_exit_governor() to
      sugov_exit(), as the schedutil governor is the only user of fast
      frequency switching today anyway.
      
      That simply prevents cpufreq_disable_fast_switch() from being called
      without invoking the ->governor callback for the CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT
      event (which happens during system suspend now).

      cpufreq: schedutil: New governor based on scheduler utilization data · 9bdcb44e
      Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
      Add a new cpufreq scaling governor, called "schedutil", that uses
      scheduler-provided CPU utilization information as input for making
      its decisions.
      
      Doing that is possible after commit 34e2c555 (cpufreq: Add
      mechanism for registering utilization update callbacks) that
      introduced cpufreq_update_util() called by the scheduler on
      utilization changes (from CFS) and RT/DL task status updates.
      In particular, CPU frequency scaling decisions may be based on
      the the utilization data passed to cpufreq_update_util() by CFS.
      
      The new governor is relatively simple.
      
      The frequency selection formula used by it depends on whether or not
      the utilization is frequency-invariant.  In the frequency-invariant
      case the new CPU frequency is given by
      
      	next_freq = 1.25 * max_freq * util / max
      
      where util and max are the last two arguments of cpufreq_update_util().
      In turn, if util is not frequency-invariant, the maximum frequency in
      the above formula is replaced with the current frequency of the CPU:
      
      	next_freq = 1.25 * curr_freq * util / max
      
      The coefficient 1.25 corresponds to the frequency tipping point at
      (util / max) = 0.8.
      
      All of the computations are carried out in the utilization update
      handlers provided by the new governor.  One of those handlers is
      used for cpufreq policies shared between multiple CPUs and the other
      one is for policies with one CPU only (and therefore it doesn't need
      to use any extra synchronization means).
      
      The governor supports fast frequency switching if that is supported
      by the cpufreq driver in use and possible for the given policy.
      In the fast switching case, all operations of the governor take
      place in its utilization update handlers.  If fast switching cannot
      be used, the frequency switch operations are carried out with the
      help of a work item which only calls __cpufreq_driver_target()
      (under a mutex) to trigger a frequency update (to a value already
      computed beforehand in one of the utilization update handlers).
      
      Currently, the governor treats all of the RT and DL tasks as
      "unknown utilization" and sets the frequency to the allowed
      maximum when updated from the RT or DL sched classes.  That
      heavy-handed approach should be replaced with something more
      subtle and specifically targeted at RT and DL tasks.
      
      The governor shares some tunables management code with the
      "ondemand" and "conservative" governors and uses some common
      definitions from cpufreq_governor.h, but apart from that it
      is stand-alone.
