From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2009 08:34:35 +0000 (+0200) Subject: sched: Add smt_gain X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a52bfd73589eaf88d9c95ad2c1de0b38a6b27972;p=linux-beck.git sched: Add smt_gain The idea is that multi-threading a core yields more work capacity than a single thread, provide a way to express a static gain for threads.
