Thara Gopinath de785069ec ANDROID: sched: Per-Sched-domain over utilization
The current implementation of overutilization, aborts energy aware
scheduling if any cpu in the system is over-utilized. This patch introduces
over utilization flag per sched domain level instead of a single flag
system wide. Load balancing is done at the sched domain where any
of the cpu is over utilized. If energy aware scheduling is
enabled and no cpu in a sched domain is overuttilized,
load balancing is skipped for that sched domain and energy aware
scheduling continues at that level.

The implementation takes advantage of the shared sched_domain structure
that is common across all the sched domains at a level. The new flag
introduced is placed in this structure so that all the sched domains the
same level share the flag. In case of an overutilized cpu, the flag gets
set at level1 sched_domain. The flag at the parent sched_domain level gets
set in either of the two following scenarios.
 1. There is a misfit task in one of the cpu's in this sched_domain.
 2. The total utilization of the domain is greater than the domain capacity

The flag is cleared if no cpu in a sched domain is overutilized.

This implementation still can have corner scenarios with respect to
misfit tasks. For example consider a sched group with n cpus and
n+1 70%utilized tasks. Ideally this is a case for load balance to happen
in a parent sched domain. But neither the total group utilization is
high enough for the load balance to be triggered in the parent domain nor
there is a cpu with a single overutilized task so that aload balance is
triggered in a parent domain. But again this could be a purely academic
sceanrio, as during task wake up these tasks will be placed
more appropriately.

How do I submit patches to Android Common Kernels

  1. BEST: Make all of your changes to upstream Linux. If appropriate, backport to the stable releases. These patches will be merged automatically in the corresponding common kernels. If the patch is already in upstream Linux, post a backport of the patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.

  2. LESS GOOD: Develop your patches out-of-tree (from an upstream Linux point-of-view). Unless these are fixing an Android-specific bug, these are very unlikely to be accepted unless they have been coordinated with kernel-team@android.com. If you want to proceed, post a patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.

Common Kernel patch requirements

  • All patches must conform to the Linux kernel coding standards and pass script/checkpatch.pl
  • Patches shall not break gki_defconfig or allmodconfig builds for arm, arm64, x86, x86_64 architectures (see https://source.android.com/setup/build/building-kernels)
  • If the patch is not merged from an upstream branch, the subject must be tagged with the type of patch: UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:, FROMGIT:, FROMLIST:, or ANDROID:.
  • All patches must have a Change-Id: tag (see https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/user-changeid.html)
  • If an Android bug has been assigned, there must be a Bug: tag.
  • All patches must have a Signed-off-by: tag by the author and the submitter

Additional requirements are listed below based on patch type

Requirements for backports from mainline Linux: UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:

  • If the patch is a cherry-pick from Linux mainline with no changes at all
    • tag the patch subject with UPSTREAM:.
    • add upstream commit information with a (cherry-picked from ...) line
    • Example:
      • if the upstream commit message is
        important patch from upstream

        This is the detailed description of the important patch

        Signed-off-by: Fred Jones <fred.jones@foo.org>
    - then Joe Smith would upload the patch for the common kernel as
        UPSTREAM: important patch from upstream

        Signed-off-by: Joe Smith <joe.smith@foo.org>
  • If the patch requires any changes from the upstream version, tag the patch with BACKPORT: instead of UPSTREAM:.
    • use the same tags as UPSTREAM:
    • add comments about the changes under the (cherry-picked from ...) line
    • Example:
        BACKPORT: important patch from upstream

Requirements for other backports: FROMGIT:, FROMLIST:,

  • If the patch has been merged into an upstream maintainer tree, but has not yet been merged into Linux mainline
    • tag the patch subject with FROMGIT:
    • add info on where the patch came from as (cherry picked from commit <sha1> <repo> <branch>). This must be a stable maintainer branch (not rebased, so don't use linux-next for example).
    • if changes were required, use BACKPORT: FROMGIT:
    • Example:
      • if the commit message in the maintainer tree is
        important patch from upstream

        This is the detailed description of the important patch
