[PATCH] sched: fix incorrect PELT values on SMT

From: Steve Muckle
Date: Thu Aug 18 2016 - 21:56:37 EST


PELT scales its util_sum and util_avg values via
arch_scale_cpu_capacity(). If that function is passed the CPU's sched
domain then it will reduce the scaling capacity if SD_SHARE_CPUCAPACITY
is set. PELT does not pass in the sd however. The other caller of
arch_scale_cpu_capacity, update_cpu_capacity(), does. This means
util_sum and util_avg scale beyond the CPU capacity on SMT.

On an Intel i7-3630QM for example rq->cpu_capacity_orig is 589 but
util_avg scales up to 1024.

Fix this by passing in the sd in __update_load_avg() as well.
