Subject: [PATCH V2 2/2] thermal: cpufreq_cooling: Reuse sched_cpu_util()
Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2020 15:50:21 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <11e7c7dcb07ae258fa02e187c9697252f3835466.1603448113.git.viresh.kumar@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1603448113.git.viresh.kumar@linaro.org>

Several parts of the kernel are already using the effective CPU
utilization (as seen by the scheduler) to get the current load on the
CPU, do the same here instead of depending on the idle time of the CPU,
which isn't that accurate comparatively.

Note that, this (and CPU frequency scaling in general) doesn't work that
well with idle injection as that is done from rt threads and is counted
as load while it tries to do quite the opposite. That should be solved
separately though.
