[RFC PATCH 1/7] sched/pelt.c: Add option to make load and util calculations frequency invariant

From: Thara Gopinath
Date: Tue Oct 09 2018 - 12:25:13 EST


Add an additional parametr in accumulate_sum to allow optional
frequency adjustment of load and utilization. When considering
rt/dl load/util, it is correct to scale it to the current cpu
frequency. On the other hand, thermal pressure(max capped frequency)
is frequency invariant.
