[PATCH 17/39] autonuma: alloc/free/init sched_autonuma

From: Andrea Arcangeli
Date: Mon Mar 26 2012 - 14:19:06 EST


This is where the dynamically allocated sched_autonuma structure is
being handled.

The reason for keeping this outside of the task_struct besides not
using too much kernel stack, is to only allocate it on NUMA
hardware. So the not NUMA hardware only pays the memory of a pointer
in the kernel stack (which remains NULL at all times in that case).

If the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_AUTONUMA=n, not even the pointer
is allocated on the kernel stack of course.
