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%) Signed-off-by: Vincent Guittot <vincent.guittot@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Dietmar Eggemann <dietmar.eggemann@arm.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231009103621.374412-2-vincent.guittot@linaro.org |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
