Updates to cpu capacity consolidation patches in the backports tree

by Amit Kucheria

Hi Alex, In 4.1-rc1, several patches (see 36ee28e4 onwards) related to cpu capacity consolidation were merged. It would be a good idea to refresh the eas-backport tree so that these patches are cherry-picked directly from mainline into stable/sched-upstream branch and their equivalent versions in stable/sched-core are removed. Regards, Amit

[RFC internal v2 0/4] scheduler-based cpu frequency scaling

by Michael Turquette

This series implements an event-driven cpufreq governor that scales cpu frequency as a function of cfs runqueue utilization. The intent of this RFC is to get some discussion going about how the scheduler can become the policy engine for selecting cpu frequency, what limitations exist and what design do we want to take to get to a solution. This series depends on having frequency-invariant representations for load. This requires Vincent's recently merged cpu capacity rework patches, as well as a new patch from Morten included here. Morten's patch will likely make an appearance in his energy aware scheduling v4 series. Thanks to Juri Lelli <juri.lelli(a)arm.com> for contributing to the development of the governor. A git branch with these patches can be pulled from here: https://git.linaro.org/people/mike.turquette/linux.git sched-freq Smoke testing has been done on an OMAP4 Pandaboard and an Exynos 5800 Chromebook2. Extensive benchmarking and regression testing has not yet been done. Before sinking too much time into extensive testing I'd like to get feedback on the general design.
