QoS: Enhance framework to support cpu/irq specific QoS requests
QoS request for CPU_DMA_LATENCY can be better optimized if the request
can be set only for the required cpus and not all cpus. This helps save
power on other cores, while still gauranteeing the quality of service.
Enhance the QoS constraints data structures to support target value for
each core. Requests specify if the QoS is applicable to all cores
(default) or to a selective subset of the cores or to a core(s), that the
IRQ is affine to.
QoS requests that need to track an IRQ can be set to apply only on the
cpus to which the IRQ's smp_affinity attribute is set to. The QoS
framework will automatically track IRQ migration between the cores. The
QoS is updated to be applied only to the core(s) that the IRQ has been
migrated to.
Idle and interested drivers can request a PM QoS value for a constraint
across all cpus, or a specific cpu or a set of cpus. Separate APIs have
been added to request for individual cpu or a cpumask. The default
behaviour of PM QoS is maintained i.e, requests that do not specify a
type of the request will continue to be effected on all cores. Requests
that want to specify an affinity of cpu(s) or an irq, can modify the PM
QoS request data structures by specifying the type of the request and
either the mask of the cpus or the IRQ number depending on the type.
Updating the request does not reset the type of the request.
The userspace sysfs interface does not support CPU/IRQ affinity.
