Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/6] sched: Introduce energy models of CPUs

From: Quentin Perret <quentin.perret@....com>

The energy consumption of each CPU in the system is modeled with a list
of values representing its dissipated power and compute capacity at each
available Operating Performance Point (OPP). These values are derived
from existing information in the kernel (currently used by the thermal
subsystem) and don't require the introduction of new platform-specific
tunables. The energy model is also provided with a simple representation
of all frequency domains as cpumasks, hence enabling the scheduler to be
aware of dependencies between CPUs. The data required to build the energy
model is provided by the OPP library which enables an abstract view of
the platform from the scheduler. The new data structures holding these
models and the routines to populate them are stored in
kernel/sched/energy.c.

For the sake of simplicity, it is assumed in the energy model that all
CPUs in a frequency domain share the same micro-architecture. As long as
this assumption is correct, the energy models of different CPUs belonging
to the same frequency domain are equal. Hence, this commit builds only one
energy model per frequency domain, and links all relevant CPUs to it in
order to save time and memory. If needed for future hardware platforms,
relaxing this assumption should imply relatively simple modifications in
the code but a significantly higher algorithmic complexity.

As it appears that energy-aware scheduling really makes a difference on
heterogeneous systems (e.g. big.LITTLE platforms), it is restricted to
systems having:

   1. SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY flag set
   2. Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) is enabled
   3. Available power estimates for the OPPs of all possible CPUs

Moreover, the scheduler is notified of the energy model availability
using a static key in order to minimize the overhead on non-energy-aware
systems.

This patch depends on additional infrastructure being merged in the OPP
core. As this infrastructure can also be useful for other clients, the
related patches have been posted separately [1].
