Subject: [PATCH 0/8] schedutil enhancements

I'm happy that scheduler-driven cpu frequency selection is getting some
attention. Rafael's recent schedutil governor is a step in the right direction.
This series builds on top of Rafael's schedutil governor, bringing it to parity
with some of the features in the schedfreq series posted by Steve[0], as well
as adding a couple of new things.

Patch 1 removes cpufreq_trigger_update()

Patches 2-4 move the cfs capacity margin out of the governor and into
cfs. This value is made tunable by a sysfs control in schedutil.

Patches 5-6 make cpufreq_update_util() aware of multiple scheduler
classes (cfs, rt & dl), and add storage & summation of these per-class
utilization values into schedutil.

Patches 7-8 introduces Dietmar's generic cpufreq implementation[1] of the
frequency invariance hook and changes the preprocessor magic in sched.h to
favor the cpufreq implementation over arch- or platform-specific ones.

If accepted, this series makes it trivial to port Steve and Juri's fine-grained
frequency selection in cfs and Vincent's rt utilization patch to the schedutil
governor.[2-6]

Dietmar Eggemann (1):
  cpufreq: Frequency invariant scheduler load-tracking support

Michael Turquette (7):
  sched/cpufreq: remove cpufreq_trigger_update()
  sched/fair: add margin to utilization update
  sched/cpufreq: new cfs capacity margin helpers
  cpufreq/schedutil: sysfs capacity margin tunable
  sched/cpufreq: pass sched class into cpufreq_update_util
  cpufreq/schedutil: sum per-sched class utilization
  sched: prefer cpufreq_scale_freq_capacity
