2007-08-09sched: clean up delta_mineIngo Molnar
cleanup: delta_mine is an unsigned value. no code impact: text data bss dec hex filename 27823 2726 16 30565 7765 sched.o.before 27823 2726 16 30565 7765 sched.o.after Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-08-09sched: mark print_cfs_stats staticJosh Triplett
sched_fair.c defines print_cfs_stats, and sched_debug.c uses it, but sched.c includes both sched_fair.c and sched_debug.c, so all the references to print_cfs_stats occur in the same compilation unit. Thus, mark print_cfs_stats static. Eliminates a sparse warning: warning: symbol 'print_cfs_stats' was not declared. Should it be static?

2007-08-09sched: simplify move_tasks()Peter Williams
The move_tasks() function is currently multiplexed with two distinct capabilities: 1. attempt to move a specified amount of weighted load from one run queue to another; and 2. attempt to move a specified number of tasks from one run queue to another. The first of these capabilities is used in two places, load_balance() and load_balance_idle(), and in both of these cases the return value of move_tasks() is used purely to decide if tasks/load were moved and no notice of the actual number of tasks moved is taken. The second capability is used in exactly one place, active_load_balance(), to attempt to move exactly one task and, as before, the return value is only used as an indicator of success or failure. This multiplexing of sched_task() was introduced, by me, as part of the smpnice patches and was motivated by the fact that the alternative, one function to move specified load and one to move a single task, would have led to two functions of roughly the same complexity as the old move_tasks() (or the new balance_tasks()). However, the new modular design of the new CFS scheduler allows a simpler solution to be adopted and this patch addresses that solution by: 1. adding a new function, move_one_task(), to be used by active_load_balance(); and 2. making move_tasks() a single purpose function that tries to move a specified weighted load and returns 1 for success and 0 for failure. One of the consequences of these changes is that neither move_one_task() or the new move_tasks() care how many tasks sched_class.load_balance() moves and this enables its interface to be simplified by returning the amount of load moved as its result and removing the load_moved pointer from the argument list. This helps simplify the new move_tasks() and slightly reduces the amount of work done in each of sched_class.load_balance()'s implementations. Further simplification, e.g. changes to balance_tasks(), are possible but (slightly) complicated by the special needs of load_balance_fair() so I've left them to a later patch (if this one gets accepted). NB Since move_tasks() gets called with two run queue locks held even small reductions in overhead are worthwhile. [ mingo@elte.hu ] this change also reduces code size nicely: text data bss dec hex filename 39216 3618 24 42858 a76a sched.o.before 39173 3618 24 42815 a73f sched.o.after Signed-off-by: Peter Williams <pwil3058@bigpond.net.au> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-08-09sched: batch sleeper bonusIngo Molnar
batch up the sleeper bonus sum a bit more. Anything below sched-granularity is too small to make a practical difference anyway. this optimization reduces the math in high-frequency scheduling scenarios. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-08-02[PATCH] sched: reduce debug codeIngo Molnar
move the rest of the debugging/instrumentation code to under CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS too. This reduces code size and speeds code up: text data bss dec hex filename 33044 4122 28 37194 914a sched.o.before 32708 4122 28 36858 8ffa sched.o.after Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

make use of the new schedstat_set() API to eliminate two #ifdef sections. No functional changes: text data bss dec hex filename 29009 4122 28 33159 8187 sched.o.before 29009 4122 28 33159 8187 sched.o.after Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-08-02[PATCH] sched: ->task_new cleanupIngo Molnar
make sched_class.task_new == NULL a 'default method', this allows the removal of task_rt_new. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-07-09sched: cfs core, kernel/sched_fair.cIngo Molnar
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.
