From 37380d0b7621d487b1d2885ad93227e880074ee5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Olivier Cozette Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2012 14:30:30 +0100 Subject: ARM: Change load tracking scale using sysfs These functions allow to change the load average period used in the task load average computation through /sys/kernel/hmp/load_avg_period_ms. This period is the time in ms to go from 0 to 0.5 load average while running or the time from 1 to 0.5 while sleeping. The default one used is 32 and gives the same load_avg_ratio computation than without this patch. These functions also allow to change the up and down threshold of HMP using /sys/kernel/hmp/{up,down}_threshold. Both must be between 0 and 1024. The thresholds are divided by 1024 before being compared to the load_avg_ratio. If /sys/kernel/hmp/load_avg_period_ms is 128 and /sys/kernel/hmp/up_threshold is 512, a task will be migrated to a bigger cluster after running for 128ms. Because after load_avg_period_ms the load average is 0.5 and real up_threshold us 512 / 1024 = 0.5.
