[v3,1/6] topology: add a new arch_scale_freq_reference

Commit Message

Vincent Guittot Oct. 18, 2023, 4:25 p.m. UTC

Create a new method to get a unique and fixed max frequency. Currently
cpuinfo.max_freq or the highest (or last) state of performance domain are
used as the max frequency when computing the frequency for a level of
utilization but:
- cpuinfo_max_freq can change at runtime. boost is one example of
  such change.
- cpuinfo.max_freq and last item of the PD can be different leading to
  different results between cpufreq and energy model.

We need to save the reference frequency that has been used when computing
the CPUs capacity and use this fixed and coherent value to convert between
frequency and CPU's capacity.

In fact, we already save the frequency that has been used when computing
the capacity of each CPU. We extend the precision to save khZ instead of
Mhz currently and we modify the type to be aligned with other variables
used when converting frequency to capacity and the other way.
