[PATCH] arm64: Provide an AMU-based version of arch_freq_get_on_cpu

From: Beata Michalska
Date: Tue Jun 06 2023 - 11:58:11 EST


With the Frequency Invariance Engine (FIE) being already wired up with
sched tick and making use of relevant (core counter and constant
counter) AMU counters, getting the current frequency for a given CPU
on supported platforms, can be achieved by utilizing the frequency scale
factor which reflects an average CPU frequency for the last tick period
length.

With that at hand, arch_freq_get_on_cpu dedicated implementation
gets enrolled into cpuinfo_cur_freq policy sysfs attribute handler,
which is expected to represent the current frequency of a given CPU,
as obtained by the hardware. This is exactly the type of feedback that
cycle counters provide.

In order to avoid calling arch_freq_get_on_cpu from the scaling_cur_freq
attribute handler for platforms that do provide cpuinfo_cur_freq, and
yet keeping things intact for those platform that do not, its use gets
conditioned on the presence of cpufreq_driver (*get) callback (which also
seems to be the case for creating cpuinfo_cur_freq attribute).
