EAS task placement aims to minimize energy consumption, and does so in part by limiting the search space to only CPUs with the highest spare capacity (CPU capacity - CPU utilization) in their performance domain. Those candidates are the placement choices that will keep frequency at its lowest possible and therefore save the most energy. But without frequency invariance, a CPU's utilization is relative to the CPU's current performance level, and not relative to its maximum performance level, which determines its capacity. As a result, it will fail to correctly indicate any potential spare capacity obtained by an increase in a CPU's performance level. Therefore, a non-invariant utilization signal would render the EAS task placement logic invalid. Now that we properly report support for the Frequency Invariance Engine (FIE) through arch_scale_freq_invariant() for arm and arm64 systems, while also ensuring a re-evaluation of the EAS use conditions for possible invariance status change, we can assert this is the case when initializing EAS. Warn and bail out otherwise.
