The selection of an energy-efficient CPU for a task is achieved by estimating the impact on system-level active energy resulting from the placement of the task on the CPU with the highest spare capacity in each performance domain. This strategy spreads tasks in a performance domain and avoids overly aggressive task packing. The best CPU energy-wise is then selected if it saves a large enough amount of energy with respect to prev_cpu. Although it has already shown significant benefits on some existing targets, this approach cannot scale to platforms with numerous CPUs. This is an attempt to do something useful as writing a fast heuristic that performs reasonably well on a broad spectrum of architectures isn't an easy task. As such, the scope of usability of the energy-aware wake-up path is restricted to systems with the SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY flag set, and where the EM isn't too complex.

Then, it uses the Energy Model to figure + * out which of the CPU candidates is the most energy-efficient. + * + * The rationale for this heuristic is as follows. In a performance domain, + * all the most energy efficient CPU candidates (according to the Energy + * Model) are those for which we'll request a low frequency. When there are + * several CPUs for which the frequency request will be the same, we don't + * have enough data to break the tie between them, because the Energy Model + * only includes active power costs. With this model, if we assume that + * frequency requests follow utilization (e.g. using schedutil), the CPU with + * the maximum spare capacity in a performance domain is guaranteed to be among + * the best candidates of the performance domain. + * + * In practice, it could be preferable from an energy standpoint to pack + * small tasks on a CPU in order to let other CPUs go in deeper idle states, + * but that could also hurt our chances to go cluster idle, and we have no + * ways to tell with the current Energy Model if this is actually a good + * idea or not. So, find_energy_efficient_cpu() basically favors + * cluster-packing, and spreading inside a cluster. That should at least be + * a good thing for latency, and this is consistent with the idea that most + * of the energy savings of EAS come from the asymmetry of the system, and + * not so much from breaking the tie between identical CPUs. That's also the + * reason why EAS is enabled in the topology code only for systems where + * SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY is set. + * + * NOTE: Forkees are not accepted in the energy-aware wake-up path because + * they don't have any useful utilization data yet and it's not possible to + * forecast their impact on energy consumption. Consequently, they will be + * placed by find_idlest_cpu() on the least loaded CPU, which might turn out + * to be energy-inefficient in some use-cases. The alternative would be to + * bias new tasks towards specific types of CPUs first, or to try to infer + * their util_avg from the parent task, but those heuristics could hurt + * other use-cases too.
