[patch v5 05/15] sched: add sysfs interface for sched_balance_policy selection
This patch add the power aware scheduler knob into sysfs:
$cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_balance_policy/available_sched_balance_policy
performance powersaving balance
$cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_balance_policy/current_sched_balance_policy
powersaving
This means the using sched balance policy is 'powersaving'.
User can change the policy by commend 'echo':
echo performance >
/sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_balance_policy/current_sched_balance_policy
