[PATCH v7 10/15] sched/fair: uclamp: Add uclamp support to energy_compute()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The Energy Aware Scheduler (AES) estimates the energy impact of waking
up a task on a given CPU. This estimation is based on:
 a) an (active) power consumptions defined for each CPU frequency
 b) an estimation of which frequency will be used on each CPU
 c) an estimation of the busy time (utilization) of each CPU

Utilization clamping can affect both b) and c) estimations. A CPU is
expected to run:
 - on an higher than required frequency, but for a shorter time, in case
   its estimated utilization will be smaller then the minimum utilization
   enforced by uclamp
 - on a smaller than required frequency, but for a longer time, in case
   its estimated utilization is bigger then the maximum utilization
   enforced by uclamp

While effects on busy time for both boosted/capped tasks are already
considered by compute_energy(), clamping effects on frequency selection
are currently ignored by that function.

Fix it by considering how CPU clamp values will be affected by a
task waking up and being RUNNABLE on that CPU.

Do that by refactoring schedutil_freq_util() to take an additional
task_struct* which allows EAS to evaluate the impact on clamp values of
a task being eventually queued in a CPU. Clamp values are applied to the
RT+CFS utilization only when a FREQUENCY_UTIL is required by
compute_energy().

Do note that switching from ENERGY_UTIL to FREQUENCY_UTIL in the
computation of cpu_util signal implies that we are more likely to
estimate the higherst OPP when a RT task is running in another CPU of
the same performance domain. This can have an impact on energy
estimation but:
 - it's not easy to say which approach is better, since it quite likely
   depends on the use case
 - the original approach could still be obtained by setting a smaller
   task-specific util_min whenever required

Since we are at that:
 - rename schedutil_freq_util() into schedutil_cpu_util(),
   since it's not only used for frequency selection.
 - use "unsigned int" instead of "unsigned long" whenever the tracked
   utilization value is not expected to overflow 32bit.
