    sched: Rate-limit nohz · 39c0cbe2
    Mike Galbraith 提交于
    Entering nohz code on every micro-idle is costing ~10% throughput for netperf
    TCP_RR when scheduling cross-cpu.  Rate limiting entry fixes this, but raises
    ticks a bit.  On my Q6600, an idle box goes from ~85 interrupts/sec to 128.
    
    The higher the context switch rate, the more nohz entry costs.  With this patch
    and some cycle recovery patches in my tree, max cross cpu context switch rate is
    improved by ~16%, a large portion of which of which is this ratelimiting.
