[RFCv4 6/6] cpufreq: schedutil: add util clamp for RT/DL tasks

From: Patrick Bellasi
Date: Thu Aug 24 2017 - 14:10:06 EST


Currently schedutil enforces a maximum frequency when RT/DL tasks are
RUNNABLE. Such a mandatory policy can be made more tunable from
userspace thus allowing for example to define a max frequency which is
still reasonable for the execution of a specific RT/DL workload. This
will contribute to make the RT class more friendly for power/energy
sensitive use-cases.

This patch extends the usage of util_{min,max} to the RT/DL classes.
Whenever a task in these classes is RUNNABLE, the util required is
defined by the constraints of the CPU control group the task belongs to.
