Documentation/sysctl: Document uclamp sysctl knobs
Uclamp exposes 3 sysctl knobs: * sched_util_clamp_min * sched_util_clamp_max * sched_util_clamp_min_rt_default Document them in sysctl/kernel.rst.

@ -1062,6 +1062,60 @@ Enables/disables scheduler statistics. Enabling this feature
|
|||
incurs a small amount of overhead in the scheduler but is
|
||||
useful for debugging and performance tuning.
|
||||
|
||||
sched_util_clamp_min:
|
||||
=====================
|
||||
|
||||
Max allowed *minimum* utilization.
|
||||
|
||||
Default value is 1024, which is the maximum possible value.
|
||||
|
||||
It means that any requested uclamp.min value cannot be greater than
|
||||
sched_util_clamp_min, i.e., it is restricted to the range
|
||||
[0:sched_util_clamp_min].
|
||||
|
||||
sched_util_clamp_max:
|
||||
=====================
|
||||
|
||||
Max allowed *maximum* utilization.
|
||||
|
||||
Default value is 1024, which is the maximum possible value.
|
||||
|
||||
It means that any requested uclamp.max value cannot be greater than
|
||||
sched_util_clamp_max, i.e., it is restricted to the range
|
||||
[0:sched_util_clamp_max].
|
||||
|
||||
sched_util_clamp_min_rt_default:
|
||||
================================
|
||||
|
||||
By default Linux is tuned for performance. Which means that RT tasks always run
|
||||
at the highest frequency and most capable (highest capacity) CPU (in
|
||||
heterogeneous systems).
|
||||
|
||||
Uclamp achieves this by setting the requested uclamp.min of all RT tasks to
|
||||
1024 by default, which effectively boosts the tasks to run at the highest
|
||||
frequency and biases them to run on the biggest CPU.
|
||||
|
||||
This knob allows admins to change the default behavior when uclamp is being
|
||||
used. In battery powered devices particularly, running at the maximum
|
||||
capacity and frequency will increase energy consumption and shorten the battery
|
||||
life.
|
||||
|
||||
This knob is only effective for RT tasks which the user hasn't modified their
|
||||
requested uclamp.min value via sched_setattr() syscall.
|
||||
|
||||
This knob will not escape the range constraint imposed by sched_util_clamp_min
|
||||
defined above.
|
||||
|
||||
For example if
|
||||
|
||||
sched_util_clamp_min_rt_default = 800
|
||||
sched_util_clamp_min = 600
|
||||
|
||||
Then the boost will be clamped to 600 because 800 is outside of the permissible
|
||||
range of [0:600]. This could happen for instance if a powersave mode will
|
||||
restrict all boosts temporarily by modifying sched_util_clamp_min. As soon as
|
||||
this restriction is lifted, the requested sched_util_clamp_min_rt_default
|
||||
will take effect.
