* sched, nohz: Track nr_busy_cpus in the sched_group_powerSuresh Siddha2011-12-061-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce nr_busy_cpus in the struct sched_group_power [Not in sched_group because sched groups are duplicated for the SD_OVERLAP scheduler domain] and for each cpu that enters and exits idle, this parameter will be updated in each scheduler group of the scheduler domain that this cpu belongs to. To avoid the frequent update of this state as the cpu enters and exits idle, the update of the stat during idle exit is delayed to the first timer tick that happens after the cpu becomes busy. This is done using NOHZ_IDLE flag in the struct rq's nohz_flags.

* sched, nohz: Introduce nohz_flags in 'struct rq'Suresh Siddha2011-12-061-1/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce nohz_flags in the struct rq, which will track these two flags for now. NOHZ_TICK_STOPPED keeps track of the tick stopped status that gets set when the tick is stopped. It will be used to update the nohz idle load balancer data structures during the first busy tick after the tick is restarted. At this first busy tick after tickless idle, NOHZ_TICK_STOPPED flag will be reset. This will minimize the nohz idle load balancer status updates that currently happen for every tickless exit, making it more scalable when there are many logical cpu's that enter and exit idle often. NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK will track the need for nohz idle load balance on this rq. This will replace the nohz_balance_kick in the rq, which was not being updated atomically.

* sched: Clean up domain traversal in select_idle_sibling()Suresh Siddha2011-12-061-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of going through the scheduler domain hierarchy multiple times (for giving priority to an idle core over an idle SMT sibling in a busy core), start with the highest scheduler domain with the SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES flag and traverse the domain hierarchy down till we find an idle group. This cleanup also addresses an issue reported by Mike where the recent changes returned the busy thread even in the presence of an idle SMT sibling in single socket platforms.

* sched: Move all scheduler bits into kernel/sched/Peter Zijlstra2011-11-171-0/+1064
There's too many sched*.[ch] files in kernel/, give them their own directory. (No code changed, other than Makefile glue added.) Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
