[PATCH v3] sched/pelt: Use rq_clock_task() for hw_pressure

From: Chen Yu
Date: Mon Jul 29 2024 - 03:05:20 EST


commit 97450eb90965 ("sched/pelt: Remove shift of thermal clock")
removed the decay_shift for hw_pressure. This commit uses the
sched_clock_task() in sched_tick() while it replaces the
sched_clock_task() with rq_clock_pelt() in __update_blocked_others().
This could bring inconsistence. One possible scenario I can think of
is in ___update_load_sum():

u64 delta = now - sa->last_update_time

'now' could be calculated by rq_clock_pelt() from
__update_blocked_others(), and last_update_time was calculated by
rq_clock_task() previously from sched_tick(). Usually the former
chases after the latter, it cause a very large 'delta' and brings
unexpected behavior.

Fix this by using rq_clock_task() inside update_hw_load_avg(),
because:
1. hw_pressure doesn't care about invariance.
2. avoid any inconsistence in the future.
