PELT does not consider SMT when scaling its utilization values via arch_scale_cpu_capacity(). The value in rq->cpu_capacity_orig does take SMT into consideration though and therefore may be smaller than the utilization reported by PELT. On an Intel i7-3630QM for example rq->cpu_capacity_orig is 589 but util_avg scales up to 1024. This means that a 50% utilized CPU will show up in schedutil as ~86% busy. Fix this by using the same CPU scaling value in schedutil as that which is used by PELT. Signed-off-by: Steve Muckle <redacted>This is fine by me. Peter, any objections?
No, looks good. Thanks
