Subject: [PATCH 2/7] sched/fair: Add group_misfit_task load-balance type
To maximize throughput in systems with asymmetric cpu capacities (e.g.
ARM big.LITTLE) load-balancing has to consider task and cpu utilization
as well as per-cpu compute capacity when load-balancing in addition to
the current average load based load-balancing policy. Tasks with high
utilization that are scheduled on a lower capacity cpu need to be
identified and migrated to a higher capacity cpu if possible to maximize
throughput.
To implement this additional policy an additional group_type
(load-balance scenario) is added: group_misfit_task. This represents
scenarios where a sched_group has one or more tasks that are not
suitable for its per-cpu capacity. group_misfit_task is only considered
if the system is not overloaded or imbalanced (group_imbalanced or
group_overloaded).
Identifying misfit tasks requires the rq lock to be held. To avoid
taking remote rq locks to examine source sched_groups for misfit tasks,
each cpu is responsible for tracking misfit tasks themselves and update
the rq->misfit_task flag. This means checking task utilization when
tasks are scheduled and on sched_tick.
