Dietmar Eggemann 0e27c567d1 drivers base/arch_topology: provide frequency-invariant accounting support
Implements the arch-specific (arm and arm64) frequency-invariance setter
function arch_set_freq_scale() which provides the following frequency
scaling factor:

  current_freq(cpu) << SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT / max_supported_freq(cpu)

One possible consumer of the frequency-invariance getter function
topology_get_freq_scale() is the Per-Entity Load Tracking (PELT)
mechanism of the task scheduler.

Allow inlining of topology_get_freq_scale() into the task scheduler
fast path (e.g. __update_load_avg_se()) by coding it as a static inline
function in the arch topology header file.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
