From af56d9e56ec0729f6aa8c3a51b9bddbdcd8dfcf0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>
Date: Fri, 11 May 2012 17:31:26 +0200
Subject: [PATCH 18/73] sched/nohz: Fix rq->cpu_load[] calculations
commit 556061b00c9f2fd6a5524b6bde823ef12f299ecf upstream.
While investigating why the load-balancer did funny I found that the
rq->cpu_load[] tables were completely screwy.. a bit more digging
revealed that the updates that got through were missing ticks followed
by a catchup of 2 ticks.
The catchup assumes the cpu was idle during that time (since only nohz
can cause missed ticks and the machine is idle etc..) this means that
esp. the higher indices were significantly lower than they ought to
be.
The reason for this is that its not correct to compare against jiffies
on every jiffy on any other cpu than the cpu that updates jiffies.
This patch cludges around it by only doing the catch-up stuff from
nohz_idle_balance() and doing the regular stuff unconditionally from
the tick.
