sys/kern sched_ule.c
Log:
- Add a metric to describe how busy a processor has been over the last
two ticks by counting the number of switches and the load when
sched_clock() is called.
- If the busy metric exceeds a threshold allow the idle thread to spin
waiting for new work for a brief period to avoid using IPIs. This
reduces the cost on the sender and receiver as well as reducing wakeup
latency considerably when it works.
