Subject: sched: Move the second half of ttwu() to the remote cpu
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=317f394160e;p=mv-sheeva.git

sched: Move the second half of ttwu() to the remote cpu

Now that we've removed the rq->lock requirement from the first part of
ttwu() and can compute placement without holding any rq->lock, ensure
we execute the second half of ttwu() on the actual cpu we want the
task to run on.

This avoids having to take rq->lock and doing the task enqueue
remotely, saving lots on cacheline transfers.

As measured using: http://oss.oracle.com/~mason/sembench.c

  $ for i in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor ; do echo performance > $i; done
  $ echo 4096 32000 64 128 > /proc/sys/kernel/sem
  $ ./sembench -t 2048 -w 1900 -o 0

  unpatched: run time 30 seconds 647278 worker burns per second
  patched:   run time 30 seconds 816715 worker burns per second
