Yair Podemsky 7fb3ff22ad sched/core: Fix arch_scale_freq_tick() on tickless systems
In order for the scheduler to be frequency invariant we measure the
ratio between the maximum CPU frequency and the actual CPU frequency.

During long tickless periods of time the calculations that keep track
of that might overflow, in the function scale_freq_tick():

  if (check_shl_overflow(acnt, 2*SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT, &acnt))
          goto error;

eventually forcing the kernel to disable the feature for all CPUs,
and show the warning message:

   "Scheduler frequency invariance went wobbly, disabling!".

Let's avoid that by limiting the frequency invariant calculations
to CPUs with regular tick.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
