cpufreq: interactive: run at fraction of hispeed_freq when load is low

When load is below go_hispeed_load, apply the percentage of CPU load to
a max frequency of hispeed_freq instead of the max speed.  This avoids
jumping too quickly to hispeed_freq when it is a relatively low
percentage of max speed.  This also allows go_hispeed_load to be set to
a high percentage relative to hispeed_freq (as a percentage of max speed,
again useful when hispeed_freq is a low fraction of max speed), to cap
larger loads at hispeed_freq.  For example, a load of 60% will typically
move to 60% of hispeed_freq, not 60% of max speed.  This causes the
governor to apply two different speed caps, depending on whether load is
below or above go_hispeed_load.

Also fix the type of hispeed_freq, which was u64, to match other
speed data types (and avoid overhead and allow division).

cpufreq: interactive: use deferrable timer by default

Avoid wakeups only to handle the governor timer when the system is otherwise
idle.

For platforms where the power cost of remaining in idle at higher CPU
speed may outweigh the cost of a governor wakeup from idle to lower the speed,
set parameter cpufreq_interactive.governidle=1.

cpufreq: interactive: kick timer on idle exit past expiry

The deferrable timer list isn't checked on all idle exits, such as when
hi-res timers expire or ISRs schedule workers.  If the idle loop is
exited and it's past time to run the governor load polling timer,
run it immediately.  This ensures we handle load spikes caused by actvity
that does not run the normal timer list.

Rename the field that timestamps the "time_in_idle" value to be more
accurate.

cpufreq: interactive: change speed according to current speed and target load

Add a target_load attribute that specifies how aggressively the governor is
to adjust speed to meet the observed load.  New target speed is calculated
as the current actual speed (may be higher than target speed on SMP) times
the CPU load (as a fraction) divided by target load (fraction).

cpufreq_frequency_table_target() call use CPUFREQ_RELATION_L to set
the next higher speed rather than next lower speed.

cpufreq: interactive: allow arbitrary speed / target load mappings

Accept a string of target loads and speeds at which to apply the
target loads, per the documentation update in this patch.  For example,
"85 1000000:90 1700000:99" targets CPU load 85% below speed 1GHz,  90%
at or above 1GHz, until 1.7GHz and above, at which load 99% is targeted.

Attempt to avoid oscillations by evaluating the current speed
weighted by current load against each new choice of speed, choosing a
higher speed if the current load requires a higher speed.

cpufreq: interactive: add timer slack to limit idle at speed > min

Always use deferrable timer for load sampling.

Set a non-deferrable timer to an additional slack time to allow prior to
waking up from idle to drop speed when not at minimum speed.  Slack value
-1 avoids wakeups to drop speed.  Default is 80ms.

Remove the governidle module param and its timer management in idle.  For
platforms on which holding speed above mimum in idle costs power, use the
new timer slack to select how long to wait before waking up to drop speed.

cpufreq: interactive: fix racy timer stopping

When stopping the governor, del_timer_sync() can race against an
invocation of the idle notifier callback, which has the potential
to reactivate the timer.

To fix this issue, a read-write semaphore is used. Multiple readers are
allowed as long as pcpu->governor_enabled is true.  However it can be
moved to false only after taking a write semaphore which would wait for
any on-going asynchronous activities to complete and prevent any more of
those activities to be initiated.

cpufreq: interactive: fix race on timer restart on governor start

Starting the governor, or restarting on a hotplugged-in CPU, can race
with the timer start in idle, triggering a BUG on timer already pending.
Start the timer before setting the enable flag, and use enable_sem to
protect the sequence (and ensure correct order of the update to the
enable flag).  Delete any existing timer for safety.

cpufreq: interactive: default go_hispeed_load 99%, doc updates

Update default go_hispeed_load from 85% to 99%.  Recent changes to the
governor now use a default target_load of 90%.  go_hispeed_load should
not be lower than the target load for hispeed_freq, which could lead
to oscillating speed decisions.  Other recent changes reduce the need
to dampen speed jumps on load spikes, while input event boosts from
userspace are the preferred method for anticipating load spikes with
UI impacts.

General update to the documentation to reflect recent changes.
