Maybe better? This is important on SoCs with HW dependencies mentioned above so that the Energy Aware Scheduler (EAS) does not use performance states outside the valid min-max range for energy calculation. > The function performs only bare minimum checks (and requires EM as s/The function/em_update_performance_limits() s/EM/PD ... I guess we always pass a PD pointer to all the EM functions. I guess we can say that an EM consists of at least 2 PDs. I guess it's valid to say that we limit per PD, e.g. per little CPUs?

It's not 'f(PS_n-1) + 1 <= x <= f(PS_n)'. [...]

On some devices there are HW dependencies for shared frequency and voltage between devices: CPUs and L3 cache. When the L3 cache frequency is increased, the affected CPUs might run at higher voltage and frequency. That higher voltage causes higher CPU power and thus more energy is used for running the tasks. Add performance state limits which are applied for the device. This allows the Energy Model (EM) to better reflect the CPU's currently available performance states. This information is used by Energy Aware Scheduler (EAS) during task placement to avoid situation when a simulated energy cost has error due to using wrong Power Domain (PD) frequency. The function performs only bare minimum checks (and requires EM as an argument) to reduce the overhead.
