Each time a frequency update is required via schedutil, a frequency is selected to (possibly) satisfy the utilization reported by each scheduling class and irqs. However, when utilization clamping is in use, the frequency selection should consider userspace utilization clamping hints. This will allow, for example, to: - boost tasks which are directly affecting the user experience by running them at least at a minimum "requested" frequency - cap low priority tasks not directly affecting the user experience by running them only up to a maximum "allowed" frequency These constraints are meant to support a per-task based tuning of the frequency selection thus supporting a fine grained definition of performance boosting vs energy saving strategies in kernel space. Add support to clamp the utilization of RUNNABLE FAIR and RT tasks within the boundaries defined by their aggregated utilization clamp constraints. Do that by considering the max(min_util, max_util) to give boosted tasks the performance they need even when they happen to be co-scheduled with other capped tasks.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
