Tick preemption isn't the primary contributor to the scheduling delta,
it's wakeup preemption. If you look at the perf summaries of 5 minute
recordings on my little 8 rq box below, you'll see that the delta is
more than twice what a 250Hz tick could inflict. You could also just
turn off WAKEUP_PREEMPTION and watch the delta instantly peg negative.
Anyway...
Given we know preemption is markedly up, and as always a source of pain
(as well as gain), perhaps we can try to tamp it down a little without
inserting old constraints into the shiny new scheduler.
The dirt simple tweak below puts a dent in the sting by merely sticking
with whatever decision EEVDF last made until it itself invalidates that
decision. It still selects via the same math, just does so the tiniest
bit less frenetically.
