[RFCv4 PATCH 10/34] sched: Include blocked utilization in usage tracking

From: Morten Rasmussen
Date: Tue May 12 2015 - 15:38:21 EST


Add the blocked utilization contribution to group sched_entity
utilization (se->avg.utilization_avg_contrib) and to get_cpu_usage().
With this change cpu usage now includes recent usage by currently
non-runnable tasks, hence it provides a more stable view of the cpu
usage. It does, however, also mean that the meaning of usage is changed:
A cpu may be momentarily idle while usage is >0. It can no longer be
assumed that cpu usage >0 implies runnable tasks on the rq.
cfs_rq->utilization_load_avg or nr_running should be used instead to get
the current rq status.
