1 /*
2 * Disregards a certain amount of sleep time (sched_latency_ns) and
3 * considers the task to be running during that period. This gives it
4 * a service deficit on wakeup, allowing it to run sooner.

6 SCHED_FEAT(FAIR_SLEEPERS, 1)
8 /*
9 * Only give sleepers 50% of their service deficit. This allows
10 * them to run sooner, but does not allow tons of sleepers to
11 * rip the spread apart.
13 SCHED_FEAT(GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS, 1)
16 * By not normalizing the sleep time, heavy tasks get an effective
17 * longer period, and lighter task an effective shorter period they
18 * are considered running.
20 SCHED_FEAT(NORMALIZED_SLEEPER, 0)
23 * Place new tasks ahead so that they do not starve already running
24 * tasks
26 SCHED_FEAT(START_DEBIT, 1)
29 * Should wakeups try to preempt running tasks.
31 SCHED_FEAT(WAKEUP_PREEMPT, 1)
34 * Compute wakeup_gran based on task behaviour, clipped to
35 * [0, sched_wakeup_gran_ns]
37 SCHED_FEAT(ADAPTIVE_GRAN, 1)
40 * When converting the wakeup granularity to virtual time, do it such
41 * that heavier tasks preempting a lighter task have an edge.
43 SCHED_FEAT(ASYM_GRAN, 1)
46 * Always wakeup-preempt SYNC wakeups, see SYNC_WAKEUPS.
48 SCHED_FEAT(WAKEUP_SYNC, 0)
51 * Wakeup preempt based on task behaviour. Tasks that do not overlap
52 * don't get preempted.
54 SCHED_FEAT(WAKEUP_OVERLAP, 0)
57 * Wakeup preemption towards tasks that run short
59 SCHED_FEAT(WAKEUP_RUNNING, 0)
62 * Use the SYNC wakeup hint, pipes and the likes use this to indicate
63 * the remote end is likely to consume the data we just wrote, and
64 * therefore has cache benefit from being placed on the same cpu, see
65 * also AFFINE_WAKEUPS.
67 SCHED_FEAT(SYNC_WAKEUPS, 1)
70 * Based on load and program behaviour, see if it makes sense to place
71 * a newly woken task on the same cpu as the task that woke it --
72 * improve cache locality. Typically used with SYNC wakeups as
73 * generated by pipes and the like, see also SYNC_WAKEUPS.
75 SCHED_FEAT(AFFINE_WAKEUPS, 1)
78 * Weaken SYNC hint based on overlap
80 SCHED_FEAT(SYNC_LESS, 1)
83 * Add SYNC hint based on overlap
85 SCHED_FEAT(SYNC_MORE, 0)
88 * Prefer to schedule the task we woke last (assuming it failed
89 * wakeup-preemption), since its likely going to consume data we
90 * touched, increases cache locality.
92 SCHED_FEAT(NEXT_BUDDY, 0)
95 * Prefer to schedule the task that ran last (when we did
96 * wake-preempt) as that likely will touch the same data, increases
97 * cache locality.
99 SCHED_FEAT(LAST_BUDDY, 1)
102 * Consider buddies to be cache hot, decreases the likelyness of a
103 * cache buddy being migrated away, increases cache locality.
105 SCHED_FEAT(CACHE_HOT_BUDDY, 1)
108 * Use arch dependent cpu power functions
110 SCHED_FEAT(ARCH_POWER, 0)
112 SCHED_FEAT(HRTICK, 0)
113 SCHED_FEAT(DOUBLE_TICK, 0)
114 SCHED_FEAT(LB_BIAS, 1)
115 SCHED_FEAT(LB_SHARES_UPDATE, 1)
116 SCHED_FEAT(ASYM_EFF_LOAD, 1)
119 * Spin-wait on mutex acquisition when the mutex owner is running on
120 * another cpu -- assumes that when the owner is running, it will soon
121 * release the lock. Decreases scheduling overhead.
123 SCHED_FEAT(OWNER_SPIN, 1)
