Vincent Guittot 16b0a7a1a0 sched/fair: Ensure tasks spreading in LLC during LB
schbench shows latency increase for 95 percentile above since:
  commit 0b0695f2b3 ("sched/fair: Rework load_balance()")

Align the behavior of the load balancer with the wake up path, which tries
to select an idle CPU which belongs to the LLC for a waking task.

calculate_imbalance() will use nr_running instead of the spare
capacity when CPUs share resources (ie cache) at the domain level. This
will ensure a better spread of tasks on idle CPUs.

Running schbench on a hikey (8cores arm64) shows the problem:

tip/sched/core :
schbench -m 2 -t 4 -s 10000 -c 1000000 -r 10
Latency percentiles (usec)
	50.0th: 33
	75.0th: 45
	90.0th: 51
	95.0th: 4152
	*99.0th: 14288
	99.5th: 14288
	99.9th: 14288
	min=0, max=14276

tip/sched/core + patch :
schbench -m 2 -t 4 -s 10000 -c 1000000 -r 10
Latency percentiles (usec)
	50.0th: 34
	75.0th: 47
	90.0th: 52
	95.0th: 78
	*99.0th: 94
	99.5th: 94
	99.9th: 94
	min=0, max=94

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
