In preparation for the scheduler cpufreq callback happening
on remote CPUs, add support for this in the dbs governors.
The dbs governors make assumptions about the callback occurring
on the CPU being updated.

Sure will change.

Yeah I think that should work. I can't recall why I thought I needed
to check the time first, then ipi_in_progress, then the time. As long
as ipi_in_progress is checked prior to the time, it should be fine.

Sorry yeah these were unintentional, will remove these and the ones below.

Thanks for the review.

thanks,

Will add that next time.

I spent some time last week constructing a test case where the
benefits could be seen. A task which was previously low utilization
wakes on CPU0 and becomes CPU bound. Just after that, a new task is
spawned on CPU0. The initial task utilization is high so ideally we
would like to see the frequency immediately rise, but in my test it
does not occur until the next tick. There is 7ms of delay in the trace
I've saved.

Unfortunately these patches alone will not address it. There are a
couple other issues which get in the way (which is why I didn't
respond here right away). Let me spend some more time on those and see
how it goes.

I'm happy to do that if it is what you'd like to see, but just
curious, isn't it really just restating the patch contents?

Sure, will do.
