Subject: [PATCH] sched/fair: Optimize EAS energy calculation complexity from O(N) to O(1) inside inner loop
Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2026 10:42:27 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260122154227.130767-1-realwujing@gmail.com> (raw)

By pre-calculating the base max utilization of each performance domain
at the start of find_energy_efficient_cpu(), we can avoid the repetitive
O(M) scan in eenv_pd_max_util() for every candidate CPU.

This reduces the complexity of energy calculation from O(P*N) to O(N + P^2),
where P is the number of performance domains. For systems with many
performance domains or high core counts, this results in significant
reduction in wakeup latency.
