Scheduler and SMP

[Bruno Bauer]

Hello all,

I'm new in kernel development and i be making tests in scheduler for a
study course.
I created a new syscall that set a task for no migrate from cpu (I
added a new flag no_migrate on task_struct).
In my tests, a tar/bzip task with no_migrate flag seted run at 5% more fast.

How do this be explained? Overhead of migration?

My changes are in can_migrate_task and balance_tasks (sched.c) and
copy_process (fork.c).

Thanks,

PS: Sorry, my English is poor.
