From f259eab3ea0e7ed73db91f6358274dd3a9a27d79 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Valentin Schneider Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2020 10:37:32 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: make schedutil the default for arm and arm64 schedutil is already a hard-requirement for EAS, which has lead to making it default on arm (when CONFIG_BIG_LITTLE), see: commit 8fdcca8e254a ("cpufreq: Select schedutil when using big.LITTLE") One thing worth pointing out is that schedutil isn't only relevant for asymmetric CPU capacity systems; for instance, schedutil is the only governor that honours util-clamp performance requests. Another good example of this is x86 switching to using it by default in: commit a00ec3874e7d ("cpufreq: intel_pstate: Select schedutil as the default governor") Arguably it should be made the default for all architectures, but it seems better to wait for them to also gain frequency invariance powers. Make it the default for arm && arm64 for now. Signed-off-by: Valentin Schneider Signed-off-by: Ionela Voinescu Cc: Catalin Marinas Cc: Will Deacon Cc: Russell King Cc: Rafael J.
