| 537 | that reflects the reduction in CPU compute capacity resulted from |
| 538 | thermal throttling. Thermal throttling occurs when the performance of |
| 539 | a CPU is capped due to high operating temperatures. |

| 811 | help |
| 812 | This feature enables the scheduler to track the clamped utilization |
| 813 | of each CPU based on RUNNABLE tasks scheduled on that CPU. |
| 814 | |
| 815 | With this option, the user can specify the min and max CPU |
| 816 | utilization allowed for RUNNABLE tasks. The max utilization defines |
| 817 | the maximum frequency a task should use while the min utilization |
| 818 | defines the minimum frequency it should use. |
| 819 | |
| 820 | Both min and max utilization clamp values are hints to the scheduler, |
| 821 | aiming at improving its frequency selection policy, but they do not |
| 822 | enforce or grant any specific bandwidth for tasks. |
| 823 | |

| 831 | help |
| 832 | Defines the number of clamp buckets to use. The range of each bucket |
| 833 | will be SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE/UCLAMP_BUCKETS_COUNT. The higher the |
| 834 | number of clamp buckets the finer their granularity and the higher |
| 835 | the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time. |
| 836 | |
| 837 | For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5 |
| 838 | clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will |
| 839 | be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp |
| 840 | effective value to 25%. |
| 841 | If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU, |
| 842 | that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and |
| 843 | it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%. |
| 844 | The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value |
| 845 | (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in |
| 846 | that bucket. |
| 847 | |
| 848 | An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the |
| 849 | example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the |
| 850 | CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems, |
| 851 | it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of |
| 852 | clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking |
| 853 | precision. |
| 854 | |
| 855 | If in doubt, use the default value. |
