scheduler: cpuacct: Enable platform hooks to track cpuusage for CPU frequencies
Introduce new platform callback hooks for cpuacct for tracking CPU frequencies
Not all platforms / architectures have a set CPU_FREQ_TABLE defined
for CPU transition speeds. In order to track time spent in at various
CPU frequencies, we enable platform callbacks from cpuacct for this accounting.
Architectures that support overclock boosting, or don't have pre-defined
frequency tables can implement their own bucketing system that makes sense
given their cpufreq scaling abilities.
New file:
cpuacct.cpufreq reports the CPU time (in nanoseconds) spent at each CPU
frequency.
