Provide to the scheduler a feedback about the temporary max available
capacity. Unlike arch_update_thermal_pressure, this doesn't need to be
filtered as the pressure will happen for dozens ms or more.

Seems like the pressure value computed from the first CPU applies to all CPU.
Will this be valid for non-homogeneous CPUs that could have different
max_freq and max_capacity?

The will be part of different cpufreq policies and so it will work
fine.

One more question, why are you doing this from cpufreq_set_policy ? If
due to cpufreq cooling or from userspace, we end up limiting the
maximum possible frequency, will this routine always get called ?

Yes, any update of a FREQ_QOS_MAX ends up calling cpufreq_set_policy()
to update the policy->max

Agree, cpufreq sysfs scaling_max_freq is also important to handle
in this new design. Currently we don't reflect that as reduced CPU
capacity in the scheduler. There was discussion when I proposed to feed
that CPU frequency reduction into thermal_pressure [1].

The same applies for the DTPM which is missing currently the proper
impact to the CPU reduced capacity in the scheduler.

IMHO any limit set into FREQ_QOS_MAX should be visible in this
new design of capacity reduction signaling.

Why do we export this variable when we have get/update functions?
Do we expect modules would manipulate those per-cpu variables
independently and not like we do per-cpumask in the update func.?

Actually, freq_qos_read_value(&policy->constraints, FREQ_QOS_MAX) will
return the requisite limit.

Yes, but we need to translate that information from freq domain
into capacity domain and plumb ii into scheduler as stolen CPU capacity.
Ideally, w/o any 'smoothing' but just instant value.
That's the hope of this patch set re-design.
