From: Alex Shi <[email protected]> This patch add power aware scheduling in fork/exec/wake. It try to select cpu from the busiest while still has utilization group. That's will save power since it leaves more groups idle in system.
The trade off is adding a power aware statistics collection in group seeking. But since the collection just happened in power scheduling eligible condition, the worst case of hackbench testing just drops about 2% with powersaving policy. No clear change for performance policy. The main function in this patch is get_cpu_for_power_policy(), that will try to get a idlest cpu from the busiest while still has utilization group, if the system is using power aware policy and has such group.
