After successfully requesting it from the hardware, this value, together with the maximum hardware frequency (policy->cpuinfo.max_freq) are used as arguments to arch_set_freq_scale(), in order to set the task scheduler frequency scale factor. This is a normalized indication of a CPU's current performance. But for the vexpress-spc-cpufreq driver, when big.LITTLE switching [1] is enabled, there are three issues with using the above information for setting the FI scale factor: - cur_freq: policy->freq_table[index].frequency is not the frequency requested from the hardware. ve_spc_cpufreq_set_rate() will convert from this virtual frequency to an actual frequency, which is then requested from the hardware. For the A7 cluster, the virtual frequency is half the actual frequency. The use of the virtual policy->freq_table frequency results in an incorrect FI scale factor. - max_freq: policy->cpuinfo.max_freq does not correctly identify the maximum frequency of the physical cluster. This value identifies the maximum frequency achievable by the big-LITTLE pair, that is the maximum frequency of the big CPU. But when the LITTLE CPU in the group is used, the hardware maximum frquency passed to arch_set_freq_scale() is incorrect. - missing a scale factor update: when switching clusters, the driver recalculates the frequency of the old clock domain based on the requests of the remaining CPUs in the domain and asks for a clock change. But this does not result in an update in the scale factor. Therefore, introduce a local function bLs_set_sched_freq_scale() that helps call arch_set_freq_scale() with correct information for the is_bL_switching_enabled() case, while maintaining the old, more efficient, call site of arch_set_freq_scale() for when cluster switching is disabled. Also, because of these requirements in computing the scale factor, this driver is the only one that maintains custom support for FI, which is marked by the presence of the CPUFREQ_CUSTOM_SET_FREQ_SCALE flag.
