Subject: [PATCH 25/30] sched: support preempt=full under PREEMPT_AUTO
The default preemption policy for preempt-full under PREEMPT_AUTO is
to minimize latency, and thus to always schedule eagerly. This is
identical to CONFIG_PREEMPT, and so should result in similar
performance.
Comparing scheduling/IPC workload:
# perf stat -a -e cs --repeat 10 -- perf bench sched messaging -g 20 -t -l 5000
PREEMPT_AUTO, preempt=full
3,080,508 context-switches ( +- 0.64% )
3.65171 +- 0.00654 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.18% )
PREEMPT_DYNAMIC, preempt=full
3,087,527 context-switches ( +- 0.33% )
3.60163 +- 0.00633 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.18% )
Looking at the breakup between voluntary and involuntary context-switches, we
see almost identical behaviour as well.
PREEMPT_AUTO, preempt=full
2087910.00 +- 34720.95 voluntary context-switches ( +- 1.660% )
784437.60 +- 19827.79 involuntary context-switches ( +- 2.520% )
PREEMPT_DYNAMIC, preempt=full
2102879.60 +- 22767.11 voluntary context-switches ( +- 1.080% )
801189.90 +- 21324.18 involuntary context-switches ( +- 2.660% )
Comparing kernbench half load (-j 32), we see that both voluntary
and involuntary context switches, and their stdev is fairly similar.
So is the percentage of CPU taken and various process times.
# Half load (-j 32)
PREEMPT_AUTO PREEMPT_DYNAMIC
wall 74.45 +- 0.39 sec ( +- 0.53% ) 74.08 +- 0.20 sec ( +- 0.27% )

vol-csw 187688.00 +- 5097.26 ( +- 2.71% ) 182914.00 +- 2525.59 ( +- 1.38% )
Same for kernbench optimal and maximal loads.
