[Patch v7 5/7] sched/fair: update cpu_capacity to reflect thermal pressure
From: Thara Gopinath
Date: Sat Jan 11 2020 - 10:59:29 EST
cpu_capacity initially reflects the maximum possible capacity of a cpu.
Thermal pressure on a cpu means this maximum possible capacity is
unavailable due to thermal events. This patch subtracts the average thermal
pressure for a cpu from its maximum possible capacity so that cpu_capacity
reflects the actual maximum currently available capacity.
