[PATCH v9 1/4] sched: Remove rq's runnable avg

[Yuyang Du]

The per-rq runnable averages (rq->avg) was introduced by Ben with this commit:

commit 18bf2805d9b30cb823d4919b42cd230f59c7ce1f
Author: Ben Segall <bsegall@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Thu Oct 4 12:51:20 2012 +0200

    sched: Maintain per-rq runnable averages

    Since runqueues do not have a corresponding sched_entity we instead embed a
    sched_avg structure directly.

With CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED=y, the rq->avg (runnable_avg_sum, avg_period) is
used to calc the contrib in __update_tg_runnable_avg() for the root group.

But the root group's load data is never consumed since its merge into kernel
in 2012. The basic reason is we have just one root group, and it is
meaningless to give it weight. As the extra code is in the scheduler's
hot path, so it is better to remove it.
