[Patch v6 1/7] sched/pelt.c: Add support to track thermal pressure

From: Thara Gopinath
Date: Wed Dec 11 2019 - 23:11:55 EST


Extrapolating on the existing framework to track rt/dl utilization using
pelt signals, add a similar mechanism to track thermal pressure. The
difference here from rt/dl utilization tracking is that, instead of
tracking time spent by a cpu running a rt/dl task through util_avg, the
average thermal pressure is tracked through load_avg. This is because
thermal pressure signal is weighted "delta" capacity and is not
binary(util_avg is binary). "delta capacity" here means delta between the
actual capacity of a cpu and the decreased capacity a cpu due to a thermal
event.

In order to track average thermal pressure, a new sched_avg variable
avg_thermal is introduced. Function update_thermal_load_avg can be called
to do the periodic bookkeeping (accumulate, decay and average) of the
thermal pressure.
