Subject[PATCH v5 0/5] Add support for AArch64 AMUv1-based arch_freq_get_on_cpu
Date
Introducing arm64 specific version of arch_freq_get_on_cpu, cashing on
existing implementation for FIE and AMUv1 support: the frequency scale
factor, updated on each sched tick, serves as a base for retrieving
the frequency for a given CPU, representing an average frequency
reported between the ticks - thus its accuracy is limited.

The changes have been rather lightly (due to some limitations) tested on
an FVP model. Note that some small discrepancies have been observed while
testing (on the model) and this is currently being investigated, though it
should not have any significant impact on the overall results.

v5:
- Fix invalid access to cpumask
- Reworked finding reference cpu when getting the freq

v4:
- dropping seqcount
- fixing identifying active cpu within given policy
- skipping full dynticks cpus when retrieving the freq
- bringing back plugging in arch_freq_get_on_cpu into cpuinfo_cur_freq

v3:
- dropping changes to cpufreq_verify_current_freq
- pulling in changes from Ionela initializing capacity_freq_ref to 0
(thanks for that!) and applying suggestions made by her during last review:
- switching to arch_scale_freq_capacity and arch_scale_freq_ref when
reversing freq scale factor computation
- swapping shift with multiplication
- adding time limit for considering last scale update as valid
- updating frequency scale factor upon entering idle

v2:
- Splitting the patches
- Adding comment for full dyntick mode
- Plugging arch_freq_get_on_cpu into cpufreq_verify_current_freq instead
of in show_cpuinfo_cur_freq to allow the framework to stay more in sync
with potential freq changes


Beata Michalska (4):
arm64: amu: Rule out potential usa after free
arm64: Provide an AMU-based version of arch_freq_get_on_cpu
arm64: Update AMU-based frequency scale factor on entering idle
cpufreq: Use arch specific feedback for cpuinfo_cur_freq

Ionela Voinescu (1):
arch_topology: init capacity_freq_ref to 0
