Subject: [PATCH v6 06/16] sched/core: uclamp: Enforce last task UCLAMP_MAX
Date:   Tue, 15 Jan 2019 10:15:03 +0000

When the task sleeps, it removes its max utilization clamp from its CPU.
However, the blocked utilization on that CPU can be higher than the max
clamp value enforced while the task was running. This allows undesired
CPU frequency increases while a CPU is idle, for example, when another
CPU on the same frequency domain triggers a frequency update, since
schedutil can now see the full not clamped blocked utilization of the
idle CPU.

Fix this by using
  uclamp_cpu_dec_id(p, rq, UCLAMP_MAX)
    uclamp_cpu_update(rq, UCLAMP_MAX, clamp_value)
to detect when a CPU has no more RUNNABLE clamped tasks and to flag this
condition.

Don't track any minimum utilization clamps since an idle CPU never
requires a minimum frequency. The decay of the blocked utilization is
good enough to reduce the CPU frequency.

Changes in v6:
 Others:
 - moved UCLAMP_FLAG_IDLE management into dedicated functions:
   uclamp_idle_value() and uclamp_idle_reset()
 - switched from rq::uclamp::flags to rq::uclamp_flags, since now
   rq::uclamp is a per-clamp_id array
