ANDROID: sched/fair: Bias EAS placement for latency Add to find_energy_efficient_cpu() a latency sensitive case which mimics what was done for prefer-idle in android-4.19 and before (see [1] for reference). This isn't strictly equivalent to the legacy algorithm but comes real close, and isn't very invasive. Overall, the idea is to select the biggest idle CPU we can find for latency-sensitive boosted tasks, and the smallest CPU where the can fit for latency-sensitive non-boosted tasks. The main differences with the legacy behaviour are the following: 1. the policy for 'prefer idle' when there isn't a single idle CPU in the system is simpler now. We just pick the CPU with the highest spare capacity; 2. the cstate awareness is implemented by minimizing the exit latency rather than the idle state index. This is how it is done in the slow path (find_idlest_group_cpu()), it doesn't require us to keep hooks into CPUIdle, and should actually be better because what we want is a CPU that can wake up quickly; 3. non-latency-sensitive tasks just use the standard mainline energy-aware wake-up path, which decides the placement using the Energy Model; 4. the 'boosted' and 'latency_sensitive' attributes of a task come from util_clamp (which now replaces schedtune).
