Following the consolidation and cleanup of CPU capacity in [1], this serie
reworks how the scheduler gets the pressures on CPUs. We need to take into
account all pressures applied by cpufreq on the compute capacity of a CPU
for dozens of ms or more and not only cpufreq cooling device or HW
mitigiations. We split the pressure applied on CPU's capacity in 2 parts:
- one from cpufreq and freq_qos
- one from HW high freq mitigiation.

The next step will be to add a dedicated interface for long standing
capping of the CPU capacity (i.e. for seconds or more) like the
scaling_max_freq of cpufreq sysfs. The latter is already taken into
account by this serie but as a temporary pressure which is not always the
best choice when we know that it will happen for seconds or more.

Change since v4:
- Add READ_ONCE() in cpufreq_get_pressure()
- Add ack and reviewed tags

Change since v3:
- Fix uninitialized variables in cpufreq_update_pressure()

Change since v2:
- Rework cpufreq_update_pressure()

Change since v1:
- Use struct cpufreq_policy as parameter of cpufreq_update_pressure()
- Fix typos and comments
- Make sched_thermal_decay_shift boot param as deprecated

Vincent Guittot (5):
  cpufreq: Add a cpufreq pressure feedback for the scheduler
  sched: Take cpufreq feedback into account
  thermal/cpufreq: Remove arch_update_thermal_pressure()
  sched: Rename arch_update_thermal_pressure into
    arch_update_hw_pressure
  sched/pelt: Remove shift of thermal clock
