Subject: [PATCH v2 0/11] remove cpu_load in rq

The cpu_load decays on time according past cpu load of rq. The sched_avg also decays tasks' load on time. Now we has 2 kind decay for cpu_load. That is a kind of redundancy. And increase the system load by decay calculation. This patch try to remove the cpu_load decay.

There are 5 load_idx used for cpu_load in sched_domain. busy_idx and idle_idx are not zero usually, but newidle_idx, wake_idx and forkexec_idx are all zero on every arch. A shortcut to remove cpu_Load decay in the first patch. just one line patch for this change.

V2,
1, This version do some tuning on load bias of target load, to maximum match current code logical.
2, Got further to remove the cpu_load in rq.
3, Revert the patch 'Limit sd->*_idx range on sysctl' since no needs

Any testing/comments are appreciated.

This patch rebase on latest tip/master.

Subject: [PATCH v2 01/11] sched: shortcut to remove load_idx

Shortcut to remove rq->cpu_load[load_idx] effect in scheduler.
In five load idx, only busy_idx, idle_idx are not zero.
Newidle_idx, wake_idx and fork_idx are all zero in all archs.

So, change the idx to zero here can fully remove load_idx effect.

Subject: [PATCH v2 02/11] sched: remove rq->cpu_load[load_idx] array

Since load_idx effect removed in load balance, we don't need the
load_idx decays in scheduler. that will save some process in sched_tick
and others places.

Subject: [PATCH v2 03/11] sched: clean up cpu_load update

Since we don't decay the rq->cpu_load, so we don't need the
pending_updates. But we still want update rq->rt_avg, so
still keep rq->last_load_update_tick and func __update_cpu_load.

Subject: [PATCH v2 04/11] sched: unify imbalance bias for target group

Old code considers the bias in source/target_load already. but still
use imbalance_pct as last check in idlest/busiest group finding. It is
also a kind of redundant job. If we bias imbalance in source/target_load,
we'd better not use imbalance_pct again.

After cpu_load array removed, it is nice time to unify the target bias
consideration. So I remove the imbalance_pct from last check and add the
live bias using.

Subject: [PATCH v2 05/11] sched: rewrite update_cpu_load_nohz

After change to sched_avg, the cpu load in idle exit was decayed.
So, it maybe near zero if waking a long time sleep task, or, a full
non-decay load if waking a new forked task. Then, we can use it to
reflect the cpu load, don't need to pretend 0.

Now idx is always 0. so unify the usage to soruce_load. That make

Subject: [PATCH v2 09/11] sched: remove rq->cpu_load and rq->nr_load_updates

The cpu_load is the copy of rq->cfs.runnable_load_avg. And it updated
on time. So we can use the latter directly. Thus saved 2 rq variables:
cpu_load and nr_load_updates.
Then don't need __update_cpu_load(), just keep sched_avg_update().
Thus removed get_rq_runnable_load() which used for update_cpu_load only.

Tested on 12-cpu-x86 box with tip/master, ebizzy and hackbench
works fine, show little improvements for each time's testing.

Hi Alex,

Have you followed this thread about load_idx and the interest of using
them to use different average period ?

Yes, I hoped to use blocked load before. But I still can not figure out
the correct usage of it.
Or maybe we need more quick decay for blocked load?
Or, maybe clean cpu_load is helpful to make room to reconsider this.
