Daniel Lezcano 88763a5cf8 powercap / idle_inject: Add an idle injection framework
Initially, the cpu_cooling device for ARM was changed by adding a new
policy inserting idle cycles. The intel_powerclamp driver does a
similar action.

Instead of implementing idle injections privately in the cpu_cooling
device, move the idle injection code in a dedicated framework and give
the opportunity to other frameworks to make use of it.

The framework relies on the smpboot kthreads which handles via its
main loop the common code for hotplugging and [un]parking.

This code was previously tested with the cpu cooling device and went
through several iterations. It results now in split code and API
exported in the header file. It was tested with the cpu cooling device
with success.

bool "Generic powercap sysfs driver"
help
The power capping sysfs interface allows kernel subsystems to expose power
capping settings to user space in a consistent way. Usually, it consists
of multiple control types that determine which settings may be exposed and
power zones representing parts of the system that can be subject to power
capping.
If you want this code to be compiled in, say Y here.

---help---
This enables support for the Intel Running Average Power Limit (RAPL)
technology which allows power limits to be enforced and monitored on
modern Intel processors (Sandy Bridge and later).
In RAPL, the platform level settings are divided into domains for
fine grained control. These domains include processor package, DRAM
controller, CPU core (Power Plance 0), graphics uncore (Power Plane
1), etc.
config IDLE_INJECT
bool "Idle injection framework"
depends on CPU_IDLE
default n
help
This enables support for the idle injection framework. It
provides a way to force idle periods on a set of specified
CPUs for power capping. Idle period can be injected
synchronously on a set of specified CPUs or alternatively
on a per CPU basis.
