[PATCH 5.12 157/173] sched/fair: Fix util_est UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED handling

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Dietmar Eggemann <dietmar.eggemann@xxxxxxx>

commit 68d7a190682aa4eb02db477328088ebad15acc83 upstream.

The util_est internal UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED flag which is used to prevent
unnecessary util_est updates uses the LSB of util_est.enqueued. It is
exposed via _task_util_est() (and task_util_est()).

Commit 92a801e5d5b7 ("sched/fair: Mask UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED usages")
mentions that the LSB is lost for util_est resolution but
find_energy_efficient_cpu() checks if task_util_est() returns 0 to
return prev_cpu early.

_task_util_est() returns the max value of util_est.ewma and
util_est.enqueued or'ed w/ UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED.
So task_util_est() returning the max of task_util() and
_task_util_est() will never return 0 under the default
SCHED_FEAT(UTIL_EST, true).

To fix this use the MSB of util_est.enqueued instead and keep the flag
util_est internal, i.e. don't export it via _task_util_est().

The maximal possible util_avg value for a task is 1024 so the MSB of
'unsigned int util_est.enqueued' isn't used to store a util value.

As a caveat the code behind the util_est_se trace point has to filter
UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED to see the real util_est.enqueued value which should
be easy to do.

This also fixes an issue report by Xuewen Yan that util_est_update()
only used UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED for the subtrahend of the equation:

  last_enqueued_diff = ue.enqueued - (task_util() | UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED)
