* sched: Add new wakeup preemption mode: WAKEUP_RUNNINGPeter Zijlstra2009-09-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create a new wakeup preemption mode, preempt towards tasks that run shorter on avg. It sets next buddy to be sure we actually run the task we preempted for.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add back FAIR_SLEEPERS and GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS. FAIR_SLEEPERS is the old logic: credit sleepers with their sleep time. GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS dampens this a bit: 50% of their sleep time gets credited. The hope here is to still give the benefits of fair-sleepers logic (quick wakeups, etc.) while not allow them to have 100% of their sleep time as if they were running.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | I suspect a feed-back loop between cpuidle and the aperf/mperf cpu_power bits, where when we have idle C-states lower the ratio, which leads to lower cpu_power and then less load, which generates more idle time, etc..

* x86: sched: Provide arch implementations using aperf/mperfPeter Zijlstra2009-09-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | APERF/MPERF support for cpu_power. APERF/MPERF is arch defined to be a relative scale of work capacity per logical cpu, this is assumed to include SMT and Turbo mode. APERF/MPERF are specified to both reset to 0 when either counter wraps, which is highly inconvenient, since that'll give a blimp when that happens. The manual specifies writing 0 to the counters after each read, but that's 1) too expensive, and 2) destroys the possibility of sharing these counters with other users, so we live with the blimp - the other existing user does too.

* sched: Merge select_task_rq_fair() and sched_balance_self()Peter Zijlstra2009-09-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The problem with wake_idle() is that is doesn't respect things like cpu_power, which means it doesn't deal well with SMT nor the recent RT interaction. To cure this, it needs to do what sched_balance_self() does, which leads to the possibility of merging select_task_rq_fair() and sched_balance_self(). Modify sched_balance_self() to: - update_shares() when walking up the domain tree, (it only called it for the top domain, but it should have done this anyway), which allows us to remove this ugly bit from try_to_wake_up(). - do wake_affine() on the smallest domain that contains both this (the waking) and the prev (the wakee) cpu for WAKE invocations. Then use the top-down balance steps it had to replace wake_idle(). This leads to the dissapearance of SD_WAKE_BALANCE and SD_WAKE_IDLE_FAR, with SD_WAKE_IDLE replaced with SD_BALANCE_WAKE. SD_WAKE_AFFINE needs SD_BALANCE_WAKE to be effective. Touch all topology bits to replace the old with new SD flags -- platforms might need re-tuning, enabling SD_BALANCE_WAKE conditionally on a NUMA distance seems like a good additional feature, magny-core and small nehalem systems would want this enabled, systems with slow interconnects would not.

Two percpu variables defined there together - irq_stack_ptr and irq_count - are also pretty hot and will benefit from sharing the cacheline.

Make sure the clts() happens while we're doing batched fpu state updates to optimise paravirtualized context switches.
