ANDROID: sched: fair/tune: Add schedtune with cgroups interface
Schedtune is the framework we use in Android to allow userspace
task classification and provides a CGroup controller which has two
attributes per group.
* schedtune.boost
* schedtune.prefer_idle
Schedtune itself provides task and CPU utilization boosting. EAS in
the fair scheduler uses boosted utilization and prefer_idle status to
control the algorithm used for wakeup task placement.
Boosting:
The task utilization signal, which is derived from PELT signals and
properly scaled to be architecture and frequency invariant, is used by
EAS as an estimation of the task requirements in terms of CPU bandwidth.
Schedtune allows userspace to assign a percentage boost to each group
and this boost is used to calculate an additional utilization margin.
The margin added to the original utilization is:
1. computed based on the "boosting strategy" in use
2. proportional to boost value defined by the "taskgroup" value
The boosted signal is used by EAS for task placement, and boosted CPU
utilization (if boosted tasks are running) is given when schedutil
requests utilization.
Prefer_idle:
When this attribute is 1 for a group, this is used as a signal from
userspace that tasks in this group need to be serviced with the
minimum latency possible.
Previous versions of schedtune had much more functionality around
allowing a more tuneable tradeoff between performand and energy,
however this has not been used a lot up until now. If necessary,
we can easily resurrect it based upon old code.
