Exercise some new API that allows applications to request that
individual contexts are executed within a desired frequency range.

v2: Split single/continuous set_freq subtests
v3: Do an up/down ramp for individual freq request, check nothing
changes after each invalid request
v4: Check the frequencies reported by the kernel across the entire
range.
v5: Rewrite sandwich to create a sandwich between multiple concurrent
engines.
v6: Exercise sysfs overrides.
v7: Reset min/max of default context after independent(); don't ask
about failure
v8: Check transition beyond randomly chosen frequencies as well as
up/down ramps.

There are few stray whitespaces in __pmu_within_tolerance, pmu_assert.
Otherwise looks good to me.

Can you please clarify few things below:

We don't sleep here because we know that we set the frequency in sysfs?
sysfs is a synchronous interface, yes.

Why is this needed? kernel will not clamp boost freq as well within
ctx_freq_min/max?
Boosting is a separate mechanism than ctx->freq, as it is performed on
behalf of *another* client.
Right. I meant i915 min|max_freq_context in your upcoming patch.
boost_freq is clamped against max_hw and min_user|soft|context
Understood that setting it to Rpn will make it get clamped in the expected range :)
Thanks for clarification.
Kernel disabling boost seems more effective than setting boost_freq to Rpn.
This is how we tell the kernel to disable boost, by setting it to a
value that never applies.

The tests try to avoid triggering boosts, but I felt it was sensible to
override the mechanism entirely. We still need various random sleeps
inside the tests in order to give the worker a chance to run, which is a
nuisance.
