[PATCH 08/17] PM: EM: Introduce runtime modifiable table

From: Lukasz Luba
Date: Tue Mar 14 2023 - 06:36:27 EST


This patch introduces the new feature: modifiable EM perf_state table.
The new runtime table would be populated with a new power data to better
reflect the actual power. The power can vary over time e.g. due to the
SoC temperature change. Higher temperature can increase power values.
For longer running scenarios, such as game or camera, when also other
devices are used (e.g. GPU, ISP) the CPU power can change. The new
EM framework is able to addresses this issue and change the data
at runtime safely. The runtime modifiable EM data is used by the Energy
Aware Scheduler (EAS) for the task placement.
