Subject: [PATCH] sched/fair: Replace CFS internal cpu_util() with cpu_util_cfs()

cpu_util_cfs() was created by commit d4edd662ac16 ("sched/cpufreq: Use
the DEADLINE utilization signal") to enable the access to CPU
utilization from the Schedutil CPUfreq governor.

Commit a07630b8b2c1 ("sched/cpufreq/schedutil: Use util_est for OPP
selection") added util_est support later.

The only thing cpu_util() is doing on top of what cpu_util_cfs() already
does is to clamp the return value to the [0..capacity_orig] capacity
range of the CPU. Integrating this into cpu_util_cfs() is not harming
the existing users (Schedutil and CPUfreq cooling (latter via
sched_cpu_util() wrapper)).

Remove cpu_util().

I deliberately got rid of the comment on top of cpu_util(). It's from
the early days of using PELT utilization, it describes CPU utilization
behaviour before PELT time-scaling and talks about current capacity
which we don't maintain.

Could you to update cpu_util_cfs() to use cpu as a parameter instead of rq ?

would be good to keep an updated version in this case. There are lot

I could but I decided to use use `struct rq *rq` instead.

(A) We already know the rq in the following functions where we call
cpu_util_cfs():

update_sg_lb_stats()
find_busiest_queue()
update_numa_stats()
sugov_get_util() (existing cpu_util_cfs() call *)

(B) For the following three functions we would call cpu_rq() outside
cpu_util_cfs():

cpu_overutilized()
cpu_util_without()
sched_cpu_util() (*)

So for (A) we wouldn't call cpu_rq(cpu) twice, avoiding issues with the
RELOC_HIDE() thing in per_cpu(runqueues, cpu).


And cpu_util_cfs()'s PELT counterparts, cpu_load() and cpu_runnable()
also use rq.

Yes, can do.

The only user of cpu_util_cfs() is sugov_get_util() and it does
cpu_util_cfs(cpu_rq(sg_cpu->cpu)) because rq is only used as a
parameter of cpu_util_cfs()

all other ones are using cpu_util() which already uses cpu as a
parameter so it's more straight forward to keep using cpu

Sure, I guess there is another user currently: cpufreq_cooling

get_load() -> sched_cpu_util() ->
effective_cpu_util(..., cpu_util_cfs(cpu_rq(cpu)), ...)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

OK, will do it this way, just wanted to mention the possibility to save
some of these cpu_rq(cpu) calls.
