[PATCH v5 0/7] consolidate and cleanup CPU capacity

[Vincent Guittot]

This is the 1st part of consolidating how the max compute capacity is
used in the scheduler and how we calculate the frequency for a level of
utilization.

Fix some unconsistancy when computing frequency for an utilization. There
can be a mismatch between energy model and schedutil.

Next step will be to make a difference between the original
max compute capacity of a CPU and what is currently available when
there is a capping applying forever (i.e. seconds or more).

Changes since v4:
- Capitalize the verb in subject
- Remove usless parentheses in cppc_get_dmi_max_khz()
- Use freq_ref pattern everywhere
- Fix MHz / kHz units conversion for cppc_cpufreq
- Move default definition of arch_scale_freq_ref() in
  include/linux/sched/topology.h beside arch_scale_cpu_capacity
  which faces similar default declaration behavior. This location covers
  all cases with arch and CONFIG_* which was not the case with previous
  attempts.

Changes since v3:
- Split patch 5 cpufreq/cppc
- Fix topology_init_cpu_capacity_cppc() 
- Fix init if AMU ratio
- Added some tags

Changes since v2:
- Remove the 1st patch which has been queued in tip
- Rework how to initialize the reference frequency for cppc_cpufreq and
  change topology_init_cpu_capacity_cppc() to also set capacity_ref_freq
- Add a RFC to convert AMU to use arch_scale_freq_ref and move the config
  of the AMU ratio to be done when intializing cpu capacity and
  capacity_ref_freq
- Added some tags

Changes since v1:
- Fix typos
- Added changes in cpufreq to use arch_scale_freq_ref() when calling
  arch_set_freq_scale (patch 3).
- arch_scale_freq_ref() is always defined and returns 0 (as proposed
  by Ionela) when not defined by the arch. This simplifies the code with
  the addition of patch 3.
- Simplify Energy Model which always uses arch_scale_freq_ref(). The
  latter returns 0 when not defined by arch instead of last item of the 
  perf domain. This is not a problem because the function is only defined
  for compilation purpose in this case and we don't care about the
  returned value. (patch 5)
- Added changes in cppc cpufreq to set capacity_ref_freq (patch 6)
- Added reviewed tag for patch 1 which got a minor change but not for
  others as I did some changes which could make previous reviewed tag
  no more relevant.

Vincent Guittot (7):
  topology: Add a new arch_scale_freq_reference
  cpufreq: Use the fixed and coherent frequency for scaling capacity
  cpufreq/schedutil: Use a fixed reference frequency
  energy_model: Use a fixed reference frequency
  cpufreq/cppc: Move and rename cppc_cpufreq_{perf_to_khz|khz_to_perf}
  cpufreq/cppc: Set the frequency used for computing the capacity
  arm64/amu: Use capacity_ref_freq to set AMU ratio
