sched/core: Fix arch_scale_freq_tick() on tickless systems
[ Upstream commit 7fb3ff22ad8772bbf0e3ce1ef3eb7b09f431807f ]
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.
Fixes: e2b0d619b400 ("x86, sched: check for counters overflow in frequency invariant accounting")
