[RFCv2 PATCH 07/23] sched: Introduce system-wide sched_energy

[Morten Rasmussen]

From: Dietmar Eggemann <dietmar.eggemann@xxxxxxx>

The energy aware algorithm needs system wide energy information on certain
platforms (e.g. a one socket SMP system). Unfortunately, there is no
sched_group that covers all cpus in the system, so there is no place to
attach a system wide sched_group_energy data structure. In such a system,
the energy data is only attached to the sched groups for the individual
cpus in the sched domain (sd) MC level.

This patch adds a _hack_ to provide system-wide energy data via the
sched_domain_topology_level table for such a system.

The problem is that the sched_domain_topology_level table is not an
interface to provide system-wide data but we want to keep the
configuration of all energy related data in one place.

The sched_domain_energy_f of the last entry (the one which is
initialized with {NULL, }) of the sched_domain_topology_level table is
set to cpu_sys_energy(). Since the sched_domain_mask_f of this entry
stays NULL it is still not considered for the existing scheduler set-up
code (see for_each_sd_topology()).

A second call to init_sched_energy() with an sd pointer argument set to
NULL initializes the system-wide energy structure sse.

There is no system-wide power management on the example platform (ARM TC2)
which could potentially interact with the scheduler so struct
sched_group_energy *sse stays NULL.
