From 34e2c555f3e13c90e9284e23d00f03be8a6e06c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" Date: Mon, 15 Feb 2016 20:20:42 +0100 Subject: cpufreq: Add mechanism for registering utilization update callbacks Introduce a mechanism by which parts of the cpufreq subsystem ("setpolicy" drivers or the core) can register callbacks to be executed from cpufreq_update_util() which is invoked by the scheduler's update_load_avg() on CPU utilization changes. This allows the "setpolicy" drivers to dispense with their timers and do all of the computations they need and frequency/voltage adjustments in the update_load_avg() code path, among other things. The update_load_avg() changes were suggested by Peter Zijlstra. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Wysocki" Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2016 20:44:47 +0100 Subject: cpufreq: Move scheduler-related code to the sched directory Create cpufreq.c under kernel/sched/ and move the cpufreq code related to the scheduler to that file and to sched.h. Redefine cpufreq_update_util() as a static inline function to avoid function calls at its call sites in the scheduler code (as suggested by Peter Zijlstra). Also move the definition of struct update_util_data and declaration of cpufreq_set_update_util_data() from include/linux/cpufreq.h to include/linux/sched.h. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
