Subject: [GIT PULL] Scheduler changes for v6.8


Linus,

Please pull the latest sched/core git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git sched-core-2024-01-08

   # HEAD: cdb3033e191fd03da2d7da23b9cd448dfa180a8e Merge branch 'sched/urgent' into sched/core, to pick up pending v6.7 fixes for the v6.8 merge window

Scheduler changes for v6.8:

 - Energy scheduling:

    - Consolidate how the max compute capacity is
      used in the scheduler and how we calculate
      the frequency for a level of utilization.

    - Rework interface between the scheduler and
      the schedutil governor

    - Simplify the util_est logic

 - Deadline scheduler:

    - Work more towards reducing SCHED_DEADLINE
      starvation of low priority tasks (e.g., SCHED_OTHER)
      tasks when higher priority tasks monopolize CPU
      cycles, via the introduction of 'deadline servers'
      (nested/2-level scheduling).
      "Fair servers" to make use of this facility are
      not introduced yet.

 - EEVDF:

    - Introduce O(1) fastpath for EEVDF task selection

 - NUMA balancing:

    - Tune the NUMA-balancing vma scanning logic some more,
      to better distribute the probability
      of a particular vma getting scanned.

 - Plus misc fixes, cleanups and updates.

 Thanks,

	Ingo
