Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] sched/fair: Record the task sleeping time as the cache hot duration
Date:   Tue, 21 Nov 2023 15:39:40 +0800
Message-Id: <d42d4c0d0eb0f411084be382dc3a1d21ebb94b83.1700548379.git.yu.c.chen@intel.com>

The cache hot duration is calculated by the average sleeping
time of a task, which is the time delta between the task
being dequeued and enqueued.

The cache hot duration of a task is introduced to describe
how soon this dequeue task could be woken up. During this
cache hot period, the task's previous CPU is regarded as
still cache-hot for the task. This information will be used
by SIS_CACHE to improve cache locality for short-sleeping tasks.
