    sched/uclamp: Set max_spare_cap_cpu even if max_spare_cap is 0 · 6b00a401
    Qais Yousef authored
    When uclamp_max is being used, the util of the task could be higher than
    the spare capacity of the CPU, but due to uclamp_max value we force-fit
    it there.
    
    The way the condition for checking for max_spare_cap in
    find_energy_efficient_cpu() was constructed; it ignored any CPU that has
    its spare_cap less than or _equal_ to max_spare_cap. Since we initialize
    max_spare_cap to 0; this lead to never setting max_spare_cap_cpu and
    hence ending up never performing compute_energy() for this cluster and
    missing an opportunity for a better energy efficient placement to honour
    uclamp_max setting.
    
    	max_spare_cap = 0;
    	cpu_cap = capacity_of(cpu) - cpu_util(p);  // 0 if cpu_util(p) is high
    
    	...
    
    	util_fits_cpu(...);		// will return true if uclamp_max forces it to fit
    
    	...
    
    	// this logic will fail to update max_spare_cap_cpu if cpu_cap is 0
    	if (cpu_cap > max_spare_cap) {
    		max_spare_cap = cpu_cap;
    		max_spare_cap_cpu = cpu;
    	}
    
    prev_spare_cap suffers from a similar problem.
    
    Fix the logic by converting the variables into long and treating -1
    value as 'not populated' instead of 0 which is a viable and correct
    spare capacity value. We need to be careful signed comparison is used
    when comparing with cpu_cap in one of the conditions.
