Following the consolidation and cleanup of CPU capacity in [1], this serie
reworks how the scheduler gets the pressures on CPUs. We need to take into
account all pressures applied by cpufreq on the compute capacity of a CPU
for dozens of ms or more and not only cpufreq cooling device or HW
mitigiations. we split the pressure applied on CPU's capacity in 2 parts:
- one from cpufreq and freq_qos
- one from HW high freq mitigiation.

The next step will be to add a dedicated interface for long standing
capping of the CPU capacity (i.e. for seconds or more) like the
scaling_max_freq of cpufreq sysfs. The latter is already taken into
account by this serie but as a temporary pressure which is not always the
best choice when we know that it will happen for seconds or more.

Hi Vincent,

I've been waiting for this feature, thanks!

I would like to test it, but something worries me. Why there is 0/5 in
this subject and only 4 patches?

Could you tell me your base branch that I can apply this, please?

I removed a patch from the series but copied/pasted the cover letter
subject without noticing the /5 instead of /4

It applies on top of tip/sched/core + [1]
and you can find it here:

I've tested your patches with: DTPM/PowerCap + thermal gov + cpufreq
sysfs scaling_max_freq. It works fine all my cases (couldn't cause
any issues). If you like to test DTPM you will need 2 fixed pending
in Rafael's tree.

So, I'm looking for a your v2 to continue reviewing it.
