Subject: [19/45] sched: wakeup preempt when small overlap

2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@...llo.nl>

commit 15afe09bf496ae10c989e1a375a6b5da7bd3e16e upstream.

Lin Ming reported a 10% OLTP regression against 2.6.27-rc4.

The difference seems to come from different preemption agressiveness,
which affects the cache footprint of the workload and its effective
cache trashing.

Aggresively preempt a task if its avg overlap is very small, this should
avoid the task going to sleep and find it still running when we schedule
back to it - saving a wakeup.
