Subject: [RFC PATCH V2 05/19] sched: add sysfs interface for
sched_balance_policy selection
From: Alex Shi <alex.shi@...el.com>
This patch add the power aware scheduler knob into sysfs:
$cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_balance_policy/available_sched_balance_policy
performance powersaving
$cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_balance_policy/current_sched_balance_policy
powersaving
This means the using sched balance policy is 'powersaving'.
User can change the policy by commend 'echo':
echo performance > /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_balance_policy/current_sched_balance_policy

[Added CONFIG_SCHED_POWER switch to enable this patch]

+ available_sched_balance_policy: shows there are 2 kinds of

+ performance powersaving.
+ current_sched_balance_policy: shows current scheduler policy.
+ User can change the policy by writing it.
+
+ Policy decides the CFS scheduler how to balance tasks onto
+ different CPU unit.
+
+ performance: try to spread tasks onto more CPU sockets,
+ more CPU cores. performance oriented.
+
+ powersaving: try to pack tasks onto same core or same CPU
+ until every LCPUs are busy in the core or CPU socket.
+ powersaving oriented.
