Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 1/2] sched/fair: Introduce UTIL_FITS_CAPACITY feature (v2)
Introduce the UTIL_FITS_CAPACITY scheduler feature. The runqueue
selection picks the previous, target, or recent runqueues if they have
enough remaining capacity to enqueue the task before scanning for an
idle cpu.
This feature is introduced in preparation for the SELECT_BIAS_PREV
scheduler feature.
The following benchmarks only cover the UTIL_FITS_CAPACITY feature.
Those are performed on a v6.5.5 kernel with mitigations=off.
The following hackbench workload on a 192 cores AMD EPYC 9654 96-Core
Processor (over 2 sockets) improves the wall time from 49s to 40s
(18% speedup).
hackbench -g 32 -f 20 --threads --pipe -l 480000 -s 100
We can observe that the number of migrations is reduced significantly
with this patch (improvement):
Baseline: 117M cpu-migrations (9.355 K/sec)
With patch: 47M cpu-migrations (3.977 K/sec)
The task-clock utilization is increased (improvement):
Baseline: 253.275 CPUs utilized
With patch: 271.367 CPUs utilized
The number of context-switches is increased (degradation):
Baseline: 445M context-switches (35.516 K/sec)
With patch: 586M context-switches (48.823 K/sec)

Changes since v1:
- Use scale_rt_capacity(),
- Use fits_capacity which leaves 20% unused capacity to account for
metrics inaccuracy.
