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.
