sched/fair: add function to convert boost value into "margin"
The basic idea of the boost knob is to "artificially inflate" a signal
to make a task or logical CPU appears more demanding than it actually
is. Independently from the specific signal, a consistent and possibly
simple semantic for the concept of "signal boosting" must define:
1. how we translate the boost percentage into a "margin" value to be added
to the original signal to inflate
2. what is the meaning of a boost value from a user-space perspective
This patch provides the implementation of a possible boost semantic,
named "Signal Proportional Compensation" (SPC), where the boost
percentage (BP) is used to compute a margin (M) which is proportional to
the complement of the original signal (OS):
M = BP * (SCHED_LOAD_SCALE - OS)
The computed margin then added to the OS to obtain the Boosted Signal (BS)
BS = OS + M
The proposed boost semantic has these main features:
- each signal gets a boost which is proportional to its delta with respect
to the maximum available capacity in the system (i.e. SCHED_LOAD_SCALE)
- a 100% boosting has a clear understanding from a user-space perspective,
since it means simply to run (possibly) "all" tasks at the max OPP
- each boosting value means to improve the task performance by a quantity
which is proportional to the maximum achievable performance on that
system
Thus this semantics is somehow forcing a behaviour which is:
50% boosting means to run at half-way between the current and the
maximum performance which a task could achieve on that system
This patch provides the code to implement a fast integer division to
convert a boost percentage (BP) value into a margin (M).
NOTE: this code is suitable for all signals operating in range
