sched: Feature to disable APERF/MPERF cpu_power
I suspect a feed-back loop between cpuidle and the aperf/mperf cpu_power bits, where when we have idle C-states lower the ratio, which leads to lower cpu_power and then less load, which generates more idle time, etc.. Put in a knob to disable it. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
