These patches add a mechanism which will accurately caculate the CPU power
used by all the processes in the system. In order to account for the power
used by all the processes a data field "cpu_power" has been added in the
task_struct. This field adds power for both the system as well as user
time. cpu_power contains the total amount of charge(in uAmsec units) used
by the process. This model takes into account the frequency at which the
process was running(i.e higher power for processes running at higher
frequencies). It requires the cpufreq_stats module to be initialized with
the current numbers for each of the CPU core at each frequency. This will
be initialized during init time.

2.2.0.rc0.207.ga3a616c
Adds the sysfs file for userspace to initialize the active current
values for all the cores at each of the frequencies.
The format for storing the values is as follows:
echo "CPU<cpu#>:<freq1>=<current in uA> <freq2>=<current>,CPU<cpu#>:
..." > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/current_in_state

cpu_power has been added to keep track of amount of power each task is
consuming. cpu_power is updated whenever stime and utime are updated for
a task. power is computed by taking into account the frequency at which
the current core was running and the current for cpu actively
running at hat frequency.

Both you patches completely lack any reason for me to even start

_WHY_ and _what_ are you doing?

We need a mechanism in which we can get information about how much cpu
power each of the process(which is then aggregated fro each
uid/application) is consuming. In the current architecture, it is
based on the amount of the time the process ran. This brings in
inaccuracy because running x seconds at low frequency will have
different power consumption as compared to running at the higher
frequency. With these changes we have the information about the power
which is not only dependent on the time it was running but also takes
into account the frequency it was running at as well as the CPU # it
was running at. Because the cost of running at different CPUs at the
same frequency is different. This gives a better overview of the
current power state of the system wrt cpu power. Please let me know if
more information is required for the same.
Thanks,
Ruchi Kandoi
