    sched/fair: Add per-CPU min capacity to sched_group_capacity · bf475ce0
    Morten Rasmussen authored
    struct sched_group_capacity currently represents the compute capacity
    sum of all CPUs in the sched_group.
    
    Unless it is divided by the group_weight to get the average capacity
    per CPU, it hides differences in CPU capacity for mixed capacity systems
    (e.g. high RT/IRQ utilization or ARM big.LITTLE).
    
    But even the average may not be sufficient if the group covers CPUs of
    different capacities.
    
    Instead, by extending struct sched_group_capacity to indicate min per-CPU
    capacity in the group a suitable group for a given task utilization can
    more easily be found such that CPUs with reduced capacity can be avoided
    for tasks with high utilization (not implemented by this patch).
