      sched: cpufreq: Allow remote cpufreq callbacks · 674e7541
      Viresh Kumar authored
      With Android UI and benchmarks the latency of cpufreq response to
      certain scheduling events can become very critical. Currently, callbacks
      into cpufreq governors are only made from the scheduler if the target
      CPU of the event is the same as the current CPU. This means there are
      certain situations where a target CPU may not run the cpufreq governor
      for some time.
      
      One testcase to show this behavior is where a task starts running on
      CPU0, then a new task is also spawned on CPU0 by a task on CPU1. If the
      system is configured such that the new tasks should receive maximum
      demand initially, this should result in CPU0 increasing frequency
      immediately. But because of the above mentioned limitation though, this
      does not occur.
      
      This patch updates the scheduler core to call the cpufreq callbacks for
      remote CPUs as well.
      
      The schedutil, ondemand and conservative governors are updated to
      process cpufreq utilization update hooks called for remote CPUs where
      the remote CPU is managed by the cpufreq policy of the local CPU.
      
      The intel_pstate driver is updated to always reject remote callbacks.
      
      This is tested with couple of usecases (Android: hackbench, recentfling,
      galleryfling, vellamo, Ubuntu: hackbench) on ARM hikey board (64 bit
      octa-core, single policy). Only galleryfling showed minor improvements,
      while others didn't had much deviation.
      
      The reason being that this patch only targets a corner case, where
      following are required to be true to improve performance and that
      doesn't happen too often with these tests:
      
      - Task is migrated to another CPU.
      - The task has high demand, and should take the target CPU to higher
        OPPs.
      - And the target CPU doesn't call into the cpufreq governor until the
        next tick.
      
      Based on initial work from Steve Muckle.
