- Use the ratio of kg_runtime / kg_slptime to determine our dynamic priority.
- Scale kg_runtime and kg_slptime back when the sum of the two exceeds
SCHED_SLP_RUN_MAX. This allows us to slowly forget old behavior.
- Scale back the runtime and slptime in fork so that the new process has the
same ratio but much less accumulated time. This causes new behavior to be
noticed more quickly.
have some negative effect on interactivity but it yields great perf. gains.
This also brings the conditions under which ULE context switches inline
with SCHED_4BSD.
- Define some new kseq_* functions for manipulating the run queue.
- Add a new kseq member ksq_rslices and ksq_bload. rslices is the sum of
the slices of runnable kses. This will be used for push load balance
decisions. bload is the number of threads blocked waiting on IO.
sched_runnable() et all.
- Remove some dead code in sched_clock().
- Define two macros KSEQ_SELF() and KSEQ_CPU() for getting the kseq of the
current cpu or some alternate cpu.
- Start introducing kseq_() functions, such as kseq_choose() and kseq_setup().
run queue for each cpu.
- Introduce kse stealing into the sched_choose() code. This helps balance
cpus better in cases where process turnover is high. This implementation
is fairly trivial and will likely be only a temporary measure until
something more sophisticated has been written.
