These patches add a mechanism which will accurately caculate the CPU power
used by all the processes in the system. In order to account for the power
used by all the processes a data field "cpu_power" has been added in the
task_struct. This field adds power for both the system as well as user
time. cpu_power contains the total amount of charge(in uAmsec units) used
by the process. This model takes into account the frequency at which the
process was running(i.e higher power for processes running at higher
frequencies). It requires the cpufreq_stats module to be initialized with
the current numbers for each of the CPU core at each frequency. This will
be initialized during init time.
