enable CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG in lib/Kconfig.debug. the runtime overhead of this option is very small. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

scheduler debugging core: implement /proc/sched_debug and /proc/<PID>/sched files for scheduler debugging. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

add CFS debug sysctls: only tweakable if SCHED_DEBUG is enabled. This allows for faster debugging of scheduler problems. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

remove the old cpu-accounting field from signal_struct, now that the code is using CFS's stats. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

clean up include files in sched.c, they were still old-style <asm/>. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

sched_fork()/sched_exit() does not need to specify fastcall anymore, as the x86 kernel defaults to regparm3, and no assembly code calls these functions. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

make use of CFS's precise accounting to drive /proc/<pid>/stat statistics. this code was co-authored by: Balbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Dmitry Adamushko <dmitry.adamushko@gmail.com> Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Adamushko <dmitry.adamushko@gmail.com>

make use of sched-clock-unstable events. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
-
Ingo Molnar authored
track TSC-unstable events and propagate it to the scheduler code. Also allow sched_clock() to be used when the TSC is unstable, the rq_clock() wrapper creates a reliable clock out of it. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

apply the CFS core code. this change switches over the scheduler core to CFS's modular design and makes use of kernel/sched_fair/rt/idletask.c to implement Linux's scheduling policies. thanks to Andrew Morton and Thomas Gleixner for lots of detailed review feedback and for fixlets.

remove the sleep-bonus interactivity code from the core scheduler. scheduling policy is implemented in the policy modules, and CFS does not need such type of heuristics. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
-
Ingo Molnar authored
remove the expired_starving() heuristics from the core scheduler. CFS does not need it, and this did not really work well in practice anyway, due to the rq->nr_running multiplier to STARVATION_LIMIT. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
-
Ingo Molnar authored
remove the sleep_type heuristics from the core scheduler - scheduling policy is implemented in the scheduling-policy modules. (and CFS does not use this type of sleep-type heuristics) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
-
Ingo Molnar authored
add the new load-calculation methods of CFS. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

clean up: move __normal_prio() in head of normal_prio(). no code changed. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
-
Ingo Molnar authored
cleanup: move dequeue/enqueue_task() to a more logical place, to not split up __normal_prio()/normal_prio(). Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
-
Ingo Molnar authored
move resched_task()/resched_cpu() into the 'public interfaces' section of sched.c, for use by kernel/sched_fair/rt/idletask.c Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
-
Ingo Molnar authored
remove the SleepAVG field from /proc/<pid>/status, as with the removal of the sleep-average code this value no longer makes sense. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
-
Ingo Molnar authored
clean up the rt priority macros, pointed out by Andrew Morton. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
-
Ingo Molnar authored
add the set_task_cfs_rq() abstraction needed by CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED. (not activated yet) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
-
Ingo Molnar authored
update the posix-cpu-timers code to use CFS's CPU accounting information. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
-
Ingo Molnar authored
add rq_clock()/__rq_clock(), a robust wrapper around sched_clock(), used by CFS. It protects against common type of sched_clock() problems (caused by hardware): time warps forwards and backwards. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
-
Ingo Molnar authored
add the CFS rq data types to sched.c. (the old scheduler fields are still intact, they are removed by a later patch) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
-
Ingo Molnar authored
add the CFS data types to sched.h. (the old scheduler is still fully intact.) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Ingo Molnar authored
add kernel/sched_idletask.c - which implements the idle thread scheduling class. This further simplifies sched.c (under CFS), for example a number of 'if (p == rq->idle)' type of special-cases can be removed from sched.c, and schedule() gets simpler too. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
-
Ingo Molnar authored
add kernel/sched_rt.c: SCHED_FIFO/SCHED_RR support. The behavior and semantics of SCHED_FIFO/SCHED_RR tasks is unchanged. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
-
Ingo Molnar authored
add kernel/sched_fair.c - which implements the bulk of CFS's behavioral changes for SCHED_OTHER tasks. see Documentation/sched-design-CFS.txt about details.

increase SMP-nice's resolution. This is needed by CFS to implement SCHED_IDLE and cleaned up nice level support. no behavioral changes. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
-
Ingo Molnar authored
create sched_stats.h and move sched.c schedstats code into it. This cleans up sched.c a bit. no code changes are caused by this patch. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Ingo Molnar authored
add the init_idle_bootup_task() callback to the bootup thread, unused at the moment. (CFS will use it to switch the scheduling class of the boot thread to the idle class) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
-
Ingo Molnar authored
add in_atomic_preempt_off() - debugging helper that will simplify schedule(). Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

remove sched_exit(): the elaborate dance of us trying to recover timeslices given to child tasks never really worked. CFS does not need it either. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
-
Ingo Molnar authored
uninline set_task_cpu(): CFS will add more code to it. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

the SMP load-balancer uses the boot-time migration-cost estimation code to attempt to improve the quality of balancing. The reason for this code is that the discrete priority queues do not preserve the order of scheduling accurately, so the load-balancer skips tasks that were running on a CPU 'recently'. this code is fundamental fragile: the boot-time migration cost detector doesnt really work on systems that had large L3 caches, it caused boot delays on large systems and the whole cache-hot concept made the balancing code pretty undeterministic as well. (and hey, i wrote most of it, so i can say it out loud that it sucks ;-) under CFS the same purpose of cache affinity can be achieved without any special cache-hot special-case: tasks are sorted in the 'timeline' tree and the SMP balancer picks tasks from the left side of the tree, thus the most cache-cold task is balanced automatically.
