Subject[PATCH RFC 5/7] sched: cfs: cpu frequency scaling arch functions
Date
arch_eval_cpu_freq and arch_scale_cpu_freq are added to allow the
scheduler to evaluate if cpu frequency should change and to invoke that
change from a safe context.

They are weakly defined arch functions that do nothing by default. A
CPUfreq governor could use these functions to implement a frequency
scaling policy based on updates to per-task statistics or updates to
per-cpu utilization.

As discussed at Linux Plumbers Conference 2014, the goal will be to
focus on a single cpu frequency scaling policy that works for everyone.
That may mean that the weak arch functions definitions can be removed
entirely and a single policy implements that logic for all
architectures.
