Now that the update of the FI scale factor is done in cpufreq core for selected functions - target(), target_index() and fast_switch(), we can provide feedback to the task scheduler and architecture code on whether cpufreq supports FI. For this purpose provide an external function to expose whether the cpufreq drivers support FI, by using a static key. The logic behind the enablement of cpufreq-based invariance is as follows: - cpufreq-based invariance is disabled by default - cpufreq-based invariance is enabled if any of the callbacks above is implemented while the unsupported setpolicy() is not The cpufreq_supports_freq_invariance() function only returns whether cpufreq is instrumented with the arch_set_freq_scale() calls that result in support for frequency invariance. Due to the lack of knowledge on whether the implementation of arch_set_freq_scale() actually results in the setting of a scale factor based on cpufreq information, it is up to the architecture code to ensure the setting and provision of the scale factor to the scheduler.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
