7736ae5572 sched/fair: Remove SCHED_FEAT(UTIL_EST_FASTUP, true)
sched_feat(UTIL_EST_FASTUP) has been added to easily disable the feature
in order to check for possibly related regressions. After 3 years, it has
never been used and no regression has been reported. Let's remove it
and make fast increase a permanent behavior.

1e0c505e13 asm-generic updates for v6.7
The ia64 architecture gets its well-earned retirement as planned,
 now that there is one last (mostly) working release that will
 be maintained as an LTS kernel.
 
 The architecture specific system call tables are updated for
 the added map_shadow_stack() syscall and to remove references
 to the long-gone sys_lookup_dcookie() syscall.

5b77261c55 sched/topology: Remove the EM_MAX_COMPLEXITY limit
The Energy Aware Scheduler (EAS) estimates the energy consumption
of placing a task on different CPUs. The goal is to minimize this
energy consumption. Estimating the energy of different task placements
is increasingly complex with the size of the platform.

To avoid having a slow wake-up path, EAS is only enabled if this
complexity is low enough.

The current complexity limit was set in:

  b68a4c0dba ("sched/topology: Disable EAS on inappropriate platforms")

... based on the first implementation of EAS, which was re-computing
the power of the whole platform for each task placement scenario, see:

  390031e4c3 ("sched/fair: Introduce an energy estimation helper function")

... but the complexity of EAS was reduced in:

  eb92692b25 ("sched/fair: Speed-up energy-aware wake-ups")

... and find_energy_efficient_cpu() (feec) algorithm was updated in:

  3e8c6c9aac ("sched/fair: Remove task_util from effective utilization in feec()")

find_energy_efficient_cpu() (feec) is now doing:

	feec()
	\_ for_each_pd(pd) [0]
	  // get max_spare_cap_cpu and compute_prev_delta
	  \_ for_each_cpu(pd) [1]

	  \_ eenv_pd_busy_time(pd) [2]
		\_ for_each_cpu(pd)

	  // compute_energy(pd) without the task
	  \_ eenv_pd_max_util(pd, -1) [3.0]
	    \_ for_each_cpu(pd)
	  \_ em_cpu_energy(pd, -1)
	    \_ for_each_ps(pd)

	  // compute_energy(pd) with the task on prev_cpu
	  \_ eenv_pd_max_util(pd, prev_cpu) [3.1]
	    \_ for_each_cpu(pd)
	  \_ em_cpu_energy(pd, prev_cpu)
	    \_ for_each_ps(pd)

	  // compute_energy(pd) with the task on max_spare_cap_cpu
	  \_ eenv_pd_max_util(pd, max_spare_cap_cpu) [3.2]
	    \_ for_each_cpu(pd)
	  \_ em_cpu_energy(pd, max_spare_cap_cpu)
	    \_ for_each_ps(pd)

	[3.1] happens only once since prev_cpu is unique. With the same
	      definitions for nr_pd, nr_cpus and nr_ps, the complexity is of:

		nr_pd * (2 * [nr_cpus in pd] + 2 * ([nr_cpus in pd] + [nr_ps in pd]))
		+ ([nr_cpus in pd] + [nr_ps in pd])

		 [0]  * (     [1] + [2]      +       [3.0] + [3.2]                  )
		+ [3.1]

		= nr_pd * (4 * [nr_cpus in pd] + 2 * [nr_ps in pd])
		+ [nr_cpus in prev pd] + nr_ps

The complexity limit was set to 2048 in:

  b68a4c0dba ("sched/topology: Disable EAS on inappropriate platforms")

... to make "EAS usable up to 16 CPUs with per-CPU DVFS and less than 8
performance states each". For the same platform, the complexity would
actually be of:

  16 * (4 + 2 * 7) + 1 + 7 = 296

Since the EAS complexity was greatly reduced since the limit was
introduced, bigger platforms can handle EAS.

For instance, a platform with 112 CPUs with 7 performance states
each would not reach it:

  112 * (4 + 2 * 7) + 1 + 7 = 2024

To reflect this improvement in the underlying EAS code, remove
the EAS complexity check.

Note that a limit on the number of CPUs still holds against
EM_MAX_NUM_CPUS to avoid overflows during the energy estimation.

7bc263840b sched/topology: Consolidate and clean up access to a CPU's max compute capacity
Remove the rq::cpu_capacity_orig field and use arch_scale_cpu_capacity()
instead.

The scheduler uses 3 methods to get access to a CPU's max compute capacity:

 - arch_scale_cpu_capacity(cpu) which is the default way to get a CPU's capacity.

 - cpu_capacity_orig field which is periodically updated with
   arch_scale_cpu_capacity().

 - capacity_orig_of(cpu) which encapsulates rq->cpu_capacity_orig.

There is no real need to save the value returned by arch_scale_cpu_capacity()
in struct rq. arch_scale_cpu_capacity() returns:

 - either a per_cpu variable.

 - or a const value for systems which have only one capacity.

Remove rq::cpu_capacity_orig and use arch_scale_cpu_capacity() everywhere.

No functional changes.

Some performance tests on Arm64:

  - small SMP device (hikey): no noticeable changes
  - HMP device (RB5):         hackbench shows minor improvement (1-2%)
  - large smp (thx2):         hackbench and tbench shows minor improvement (1%)

dt-bindings: arm: move cpu-capacity to a shared loation
RISC-V uses the same generic topology code as arm64 & while there
currently exists no binding for cpu-capacity on RISC-V, the code paths
can be hit if the property is present.

Move the documentation of cpu-capacity to a shared location, ahead of
defining a binding for capacity-dmips-mhz on RISC-V. Update some
references to this document in the process.

6c757e9f55 docs/scheduler: fix unit error
The unit mentioned in the documentation of scheduler statistics is
outdated which may mislead the readers.

The unit of statistics that is reported by /proc/schedstat is modified
to nanosecond, and the unit of statistics that is reported by
/proc/PID/schedstat is provided as well to make the context consistent.

The rq_cpu_time and the rq_sched_info.run_delay of a run queue, and the
sched_info.run_delay of a task are all updated based on the clock of the
run queue, while the se.sum_exec_runtime of a task is updated based on
the clock_task of the run queue of the task. Both the clock and
clock_task are relied on the return value of the function sched_clock()
which is in the unit of nanosecond.

9406415f46 sched/debug: Rename the sched_debug parameter to sched_verbose
CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG is the build-time Kconfig knob, the boot param
sched_debug and the /debug/sched/debug_enabled knobs control the
sched_debug_enabled variable, but what they really do is make
SCHED_DEBUG more verbose, so rename the lot.

0e63a5c6ba It has been a relatively quiet cycle in docsland.
- As promised, the minimum Sphinx version to build the docs is now 1.7,
    and we have dropped support for Python 2 entirely.  That allowed the
    removal of a bunch of compatibility code.
 
  - A set of treewide warning fixups from Mauro that I applied after it
    became clear nobody else was going to deal with them.
 
  - The automarkup mechanism can now create cross-references from relative
    paths to RST files.
 
  - More translations, typo fixes, and warning fixes.
 
 No conflicts with any other tree as far as I know.

9032dc2115 Documentation: scheduler: fix information on arch SD flags, sched_domain and sched_debug
This document seems to be out of date for many, many years. Even it has
misspelled from the first day.
ARCH_HASH_SCHED_TUNE should be ARCH_HAS_SCHED_TUNE
ARCH_HASH_SCHED_DOMAIN should be ARCH_HAS_SCHED_DOMAIN

Since v2.6.14, kernel completely deleted the relevant code and even
arch_init_sched_domains() was deleted.

Right now, kernel is asking architectures to call set_sched_topology() to
override the default sched domains.

On the other hand, to print the schedule debug information, users need to
set sched_debug cmdline or enable it by sysfs entry. So this patch also
adds the description for sched_debug.

5a64f77569 PM: EM: Clarify abstract scale usage for power values in Energy Model
The Energy Model (EM) can store power values in milli-Watts or in abstract
scale. This might cause issues in the subsystems which use the EM for
estimating the device power, such as:

 - mixing of different scales in a subsystem which uses multiple
   (cooling) devices (e.g. thermal Intelligent Power Allocation (IPA))

 - assuming that energy [milli-Joules] can be derived from the EM power
   values which might not be possible since the power scale doesn't have
   to be in milli-Watts

To avoid misconfiguration add the requisite documentation to the EM and
related subsystems: EAS and IPA.
