Vincent Guittot 9942cb22ea sched/topology: Add a new arch_scale_freq_ref() method
Create a new method to get a unique and fixed max frequency. Currently
cpuinfo.max_freq or the highest (or last) state of performance domain are
used as the max frequency when computing the frequency for a level of
utilization, but:

  - cpuinfo_max_freq can change at runtime. boost is one example of
    such change.

  - cpuinfo.max_freq and last item of the PD can be different leading to
    different results between cpufreq and energy model.

We need to save the reference frequency that has been used when computing
the CPUs capacity and use this fixed and coherent value to convert between
frequency and CPU's capacity.

In fact, we already save the frequency that has been used when computing
the capacity of each CPU. We extend the precision to save kHz instead of
MHz currently and we modify the type to be aligned with other variables
used when converting frequency to capacity and the other way.

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.
