Vincent Guittot d36e8b820e UPSTREAM: sched/pelt: Skip updating util_est when utilization is higher than CPU's capacity
util_est is mainly meant to be a lower-bound for tasks utilization.
That's why task_util_est() returns the actual util_avg when it's higher
than the estimated utilization.

With new invaraince signal and without any special check on samples
collection, if a task is limited because of thermal capping for
example, we could end up overestimating its utilization and thus
perhaps generating an unwanted frequency spike when the capping is
relaxed... and (even worst) it will take some more activations for the
estimated utilization to converge back to the actual utilization.

Since we cannot easily know if there is idle time in a CPU when a task
completes an activation with a utilization higher then the CPU capacity,
we skip the sampling when utilization is higher than CPU's capacity.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
