Subject: [patch v4 10/18] sched: add sysfs interface for sched_policy selection
This patch add the power aware scheduler knob into sysfs:
$cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_policy/available_sched_policy
performance powersaving balance
$cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_policy/current_sched_policy
powersaving
This means the using sched policy is 'powersaving'.
User can change the policy by commend 'echo':
echo performance > /sys/devices/system/cpu/current_sched_policy

+Description: CFS scheduler policy showing and setting interface.
+
+ available_sched_policy shows there are 3 kinds of policy now:
+ performance, balance and powersaving.
+ current_sched_policy shows current scheduler policy. User
+ can change the policy by writing it.
+
+ Policy decides the CFS scheduler how to distribute 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.
+
+ balance: try to pack tasks onto same core or same CPU
+ until full powered CPUs are busy.
+ balance between performance and powersaving.
