Subject: [PATCH v4 0/3] Utilization estimation (util_est) for FAIR tasks

Hi,

This is a respin of [1], still based on today's tip/sche/core [2], which
includes Juri's series [3] to integrate SCHED_DEADLINE into schedutil.

Thanks to everyone who provided feedback, all of them have been addressed.

Testing on Intel and ARM (Android) devices confirms the negligible overheads
and the power/performance benefits reported in the previous posting [1].

Changes in v4:
 - rebased on today's tip/sched/core (commit 460e8c3340a2)
 - renamed util_est's "last" into "enqueued"
 - using util_est's "enqueued" for both se and cfs_rqs (Joel)
 - update margin check to use more ASM friendly code (Peter)
 - optimize EWMA updates (Peter)
 - ensure cpu_util_wake() is cpu_capacity_orig()'s clamped (Pavan)
 - simplify cpu_util_cfs() integration (Dietmar)

Changes in v3:
 - rebased on today's tip/sched/core (commit 07881166a892)
 - moved util_est into sched_avg (Peter)
 - use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() for EWMA updates (Peter)
 - using unsigned int to fit all sched_avg into a single 64B cache line
 - schedutil integration using Juri's cpu_util_cfs()
 - first patch dropped since it's already queued in tip/sched/core

Changes in v2:
 - rebased on top of v4.15-rc2
 - tested that overhauled PELT code does not affect the util_est

Cheers Patrick

Patrick Bellasi (3):
  sched/fair: add util_est on top of PELT
  sched/fair: use util_est in LB and WU paths
  sched/cpufreq_schedutil: use util_est for OPP selection
