* sched: bias effective_load() error towards failing wake_affine().Peter Zijlstra2008-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | Measurement shows that the difference between cgroup:/ and cgroup:/foo wake_affine() results is that the latter succeeds significantly more. Therefore bias the calculations towards failing the test.

* sched: update shares on wakeupPeter Zijlstra2008-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | We found that the affine wakeup code needs rather accurate load figures to be effective. The trouble is that updating the load figures is fairly expensive with group scheduling. Therefore ratelimit the updating.

* sched: disable source/target_load biasPeter Zijlstra2008-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | The bias given by source/target_load functions can be very large, disable it by default to get faster convergence.

* sched: fix calc_delta_asym()Peter Zijlstra2008-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | calc_delta_asym() is supposed to do the same as calc_delta_fair() except linearly shrink the result for negative nice processes - this causes them to have a smaller preemption threshold so that they are more easily preempted. The problem is that for task groups se->load.weight is the per cpu share of the actual task group weight; take that into account. Also provide a debug switch to disable the asymmetry (which I still don't like - but it does greatly benefit some workloads) This would explain the interactivity issues reported against group scheduling.

* sched: /debug/sched_featuresPeter Zijlstra2008-04-19
provide a text based interface to the scheduler features; this saves the 'user' from setting bits using decimal arithmetic. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
