sched/tune: add sysctl interface to define a boost value
The current (CFS) scheduler implementation does not allow "to boost"
tasks performance by running them at a higher OPP compared to the
minimum required to meet their workload demands.
To support tasks performance boosting the scheduler should provide a
"knob" which allows to tune how much the system is going to be optimised
for energy efficiency vs performance.
This patch is the first of a series which provides a simple interface to
define a tuning knob. One system-wide "boost" tunable is exposed via:
/proc/sys/kernel/sched_cfs_boost
which can be configured in the range [0..100], to define a percentage
where:
- 0% boost requires to operate in "standard" mode by scheduling
tasks at the minimum capacities required by the workload demand
- 100% boost requires to push at maximum the task performances,
"regardless" of the incurred energy consumption
A boost value in between these two boundaries is used to bias the
power/performance trade-off, the higher the boost value the more the
scheduler is biased toward performance boosting instead of energy
efficiency.
