sched/fair: add tunable to force selection at cpu granularity
EAS assumes that clusters with smaller capacity cores are more energy-efficient. This may not be true on non-big-little devices, so EAS can make incorrect cluster selections when finding a CPU to wake. The "sched_is_big_little" hint can be used to cause a cpu-based selection instead of cluster-based selection. This change incorporates the addition of the sync hint enable patch EAS did not honour synchronous wakeup hints, a new sysctl is created to ask EAS to use this information when selecting a CPU. The control is called "sched_sync_hint_enable". Also contains: EAS: sched/fair: for SMP bias toward idle core with capacity For SMP devices, on wakeup bias towards idle cores that have capacity vs busy devices that need a higher OPP eas: favor idle cpus for boosted tasks BUG: 29533997 BUG: 29512132 Change-Id: I0cc9a1b1b88fb52916f18bf2d25715bdc3634f9c Signed-off-by: Juri Lelli <juri.lelli@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Srinath Sridharan <srinathsr@google.com> eas/sched/fair: Favoring busy cpus with low OPPs BUG: 29533997 BUG: 29512132 Change-Id: I9305b3239698d64278db715a2e277ea0bb4ece79 Signed-off-by: Juri Lelli <juri.lelli@arm.com>
