[PATCH v2] sched/fair: Replace CFS internal cpu_util() with cpu_util_cfs()

From: Dietmar Eggemann
Date: Thu Nov 18 2021 - 11:42:53 EST


cpu_util_cfs() was created by commit d4edd662ac16 ("sched/cpufreq: Use
the DEADLINE utilization signal") to enable the access to CPU
utilization from the Schedutil CPUfreq governor.

Commit a07630b8b2c1 ("sched/cpufreq/schedutil: Use util_est for OPP
selection") added util_est support later.

The only thing cpu_util() is doing on top of what cpu_util_cfs() already
does is to clamp the return value to the [0..capacity_orig] capacity
range of the CPU. Integrating this into cpu_util_cfs() is not harming
the existing users (Schedutil and CPUfreq cooling (latter via
sched_cpu_util() wrapper)).

For straightforwardness, prefer to keep using `int cpu` as the function
parameter over using `struct rq *rq` which might avoid some calls to
cpu_rq(cpu) -> per_cpu(runqueues, cpu) -> RELOC_HIDE().
Update cfs_util()'s documentation and reuse it for cpu_util_cfs().
Remove cpu_util().

- * The unit of the return value must be the one of capacity so we can compare

- * (ie cpu_capacity).
- *
- * cfs_rq.avg.util_avg is the sum of running time of runnable tasks plus the

- * the amount of utilization of a CPU in the range [0..capacity_orig] where
- * capacity_orig is the cpu_capacity available at the highest frequency
- * (arch_scale_freq_capacity()).
- * The utilization of a CPU converges towards a sum equal to or less than the
- * current capacity (capacity_curr <= capacity_orig) of the CPU because it is
- * the running time on this CPU scaled by capacity_curr.
- *
- * The estimated utilization of a CPU is defined to be the maximum between its
- * cfs_rq.avg.util_avg and the sum of the estimated utilization of the tasks
- * currently RUNNABLE on that CPU.
- * This allows to properly represent the expected utilization of a CPU which
- * has just got a big task running since a long sleep period. At the same time
- * however it preserves the benefits of the "blocked utilization" in
- * describing the potential for other tasks waking up on the same CPU.
- *
- * Nevertheless, cfs_rq.avg.util_avg can be higher than capacity_curr or even
- * higher than capacity_orig because of unfortunate rounding in
- * cfs.avg.util_avg or just after migrating tasks and new task wakeups until
- * the average stabilizes with the new running time. We need to check that the
- * utilization stays within the range of [0..capacity_orig] and cap it if
- * necessary. Without utilization capping, a group could be seen as overloaded
- * (CPU0 utilization at 121% + CPU1 utilization at 80%) whereas CPU1 has 20% of
- * available capacity. We allow utilization to overshoot capacity_curr (but not
- * capacity_orig) as it useful for predicting the capacity required after task
- * migrations (scheduler-driven DVFS).
