Hi Morten, Peter, Alex,
In a similar context, I noticed that /proc/loadavg makes use of
avenrun[] array which keeps track of the history of the global
load average. This however makes use of the sum of
nr_running + nr_uninterruptible per cpu. Why are we not
using the cpu_load[] array here which al

The below patch looks good to me except for one point.
In idle_balance() the below code snippet does not look right:

Hi Viresh,
I am not too sure about the complexity or the worthiness of this patch but
just wanted to add that care must be taken to migrate the tick_sched_timer
of all the remote CPUs off a hotplugged out CPU if the latter was keeping
their time thus far. In the normal scenario I am guessing the t

I understand that this approach is non-intrusive with the
running workload.
However it would be nice to know how my system is behaving
in terms of power efficiency at a given instance of time and
accordingly I can take action to kill a few applications to save
power, as against knowing
Hi Hidetoshi,
The patch looks good to me except the comments around the monotonicity
of the return value of the idle stats observer. I am unable to relate them
to the dependency on nr_iowait_cpu.
I see that when the reader queries for the idle stats and calls
get_cpu_idle_time_us(), the nr_iowait

Its always the case that a task is queued right, never a sched entity?

With regard to the patch: "tick: Clear broadcast pending bit when

isn't BROADCAST_EXIT called atleast after initializing the high

HI Daniel,
Isn't the only scenario where another cpu can put an idle task on
our runqueue, in nohz_idle_balance() where only the cpus in
the nohz.idle_cpus_mask are iterated through. But for the case
that this patch is addressing, the cpu in question is not yet a part
of the nohz.idle_cpus_mask ri

Hi all,
The code looks correct and inviting to me as it has led to good cleanups.
I dont think passing 0 as the argument to the function
sched_clock_idle_wakeup_event()
should lead to problems,as it does not do anything useful with the
passed arguments.

Hi Paul, Ben,
A few queries regarding this patch:
1.What exactly is the significance of introducing sched_avg structure
for a runqueue? If I have
understood correctly, sched_avg keeps track of how long a task has
been active,
how long has it been serviced by the processor and its lifetime.H
