- When a cpuset is applied to a thread, walk the cpuset to see if it is a
"full" cpuset (includes all available CPUs). If not, set a new
TDS_AFFINITY flag to indicate that this thread can't run on all CPUs.
When inheriting a cpuset from another thread during thread creation, the
new thread also inherits this flag. It is in a new ts_flags field in
td_sched rather than using one of the TDF_SCHEDx flags because fork()
clears td_flags after invoking sched_fork().
- When placing a thread on a runqueue via sched_add(), if the thread is not
pinned or bound but has the TDS_AFFINITY flag set, then invoke a new
routine (sched_pickcpu()) to pick a CPU for the thread to run on next.
sched_pickcpu() walks the cpuset and picks the CPU with the shortest
per-CPU runqueue length. Note that the reason for the TDS_AFFINITY flag
is to avoid having to walk the cpuset and examine runq lengths in the
common case.
- To avoid walking the per-CPU runqueues in sched_pickcpu(), add an array
of counters to hold the length of the per-CPU runqueues and update them
when adding and removing threads to per-CPU runqueues.
