2008-06-19sched, delay accounting: fix incorrect delay time when constantly waiting on ↵Bharath Ravi
runqueue This patch corrects the incorrect value of per process run-queue wait time reported by delay statistics. The anomaly was due to the following reason. When a process leaves the CPU and immediately starts waiting for CPU on the runqueue (which means it remains in the TASK_RUNNABLE state), the time of re-entry into the run-queue is never recorded. Due to this, the waiting time on the runqueue from this point of re-entry upto the next time it hits the CPU is not accounted for. This is solved by recording the time of re-entry of a process leaving the CPU in the sched_info_depart() function IF the process will go back to waiting on the run-queue. This IF condition is verified by checking whether the process is still in the TASK_RUNNABLE state. The patch was tested on 2.6.26-rc6 using two simple CPU hog programs. The values noted prior to the fix did not account for the time spent on the runqueue waiting. After the fix, the correct values were reported back to user space.

2008-05-29show_schedstat(): fix memleakAdrian Bunk
The Coverity checker spotted a memleak introduced by commit 39106dcf85285e78f3b290022122c76f851379b8 (cpumask: use new cpus_scnprintf function). It seems the kfree() got lost between v2 and v3 of this patch...

2007-11-09sched: fix delay accounting regressionBalbir Singh
Fix the delay accounting regression introduced by commit 75d4ef16a6aa84f708188bada182315f80aab6fa. rq no longer has sched_info data associated with it. task_struct sched_info structure is used by delay accounting to provide back statistics to user space. also remove direct use of sched_clock() (which is not a valid thing to do anymore) and use rq->clock instead.

2007-10-18sched: reduce schedstat variable overhead a bitKen Chen
schedstat is useful in investigating CPU scheduler behavior. Ideally, I think it is beneficial to have it on all the time. However, the cost of turning it on in production system is quite high, largely due to number of events it collects and also due to its large memory footprint. Most of the fields probably don't need to be full 64-bit on 64-bit arch. Rolling over 4 billion events will most like take a long time and user space tool can be made to accommodate that. I'm proposing kernel to cut back most of variable width on 64-bit system. (note, the following patch doesn't affect 32-bit system).
