The Energy Aware Scheduler (EAS) estimates the energy impact of waking up a task on a given CPU. This estimation is based on: a) an (active) power consumption defined for each CPU frequency b) an estimation of which frequency will be used on each CPU c) an estimation of the busy time (utilization) of each CPU Utilization clamping can affect both b) and c). A CPU is expected to run: - on an higher than required frequency, but for a shorter time, in case its estimated utilization will be smaller than the minimum utilization enforced by uclamp - on a smaller than required frequency, but for a longer time, in case its estimated utilization is bigger than the maximum utilization enforced by uclamp While compute_energy() already accounts clamping effects on busy time, the clamping effects on frequency selection are currently ignored. Fix it by considering how CPU clamp values will be affected by a task waking up and being RUNNABLE on that CPU. Do that by refactoring schedutil_freq_util() to take an additional task_struct* which allows EAS to evaluate the impact on clamp values of a task being eventually queued in a CPU. Clamp values are applied to the RT+CFS utilization only when a FREQUENCY_UTIL is required by compute_energy(). Do note that switching from ENERGY_UTIL to FREQUENCY_UTIL in the computation of the cpu_util signal implies that we are more likely to estimate the highest OPP when a RT task is running in another CPU of the same performance domain. This can have an impact on energy estimation but: - it's not easy to say which approach is better, since it depends on the use case - the original approach could still be obtained by setting a smaller task-specific util_min whenever required Since we are at that: - rename schedutil_freq_util() into schedutil_cpu_util(), since it's not only used for frequency selection.

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.
