Hi all,
The patch set v4 aims to add knowledge about reduced CPU capacity into the Energy Model (EM) and Energy Aware Scheduler (EAS). Currently the issue is that SchedUtil CPU frequency and EM frequency are not aligned, when there is a CPU thermal capping. This causes an estimation error. This patch set provides the information about allowed CPU capacity into the EM (thanks to thermal pressure information). This improves the energy estimation. More info about this mechanism can be found in the patches description.
Changelog: v4: - removed local variable and improved description in patch 2/3 - added Reviewed-by from Vincent for patch 2/3 - added Acked-by from Viresh for patch 1/3 v3 [3]: - switched to 'raw' per-cpu thermal pressure instead of thermal pressure geometric series signal, since it more suited for purpose of this use case: predicting SchedUtil frequency (Vincent, Dietmar) - added more comment in the patch 2/3 header for use case when thermal capping might be applied even the CPUs are not over-utilized (Dietmar) - added ACK tag from Rafael for SchedUtil part - added a fix patch for offline CPUs in cpufreq_cooling and per-cpu thermal_pressure missing update v2 [2]: - clamp the returned value from effective_cpu_util() and avoid irq util scaling issues (Quentin) v1 is available at [1]
Regards, Lukasz
