[PATCH 3/4] sched/fair: Modify accumulated sums for load/util averages

From: Yuyang Du
Date: Mon Apr 11 2016 - 02:19:03 EST


After we dropped the incomplete period, the current period should be
a complete "past" period, since all period boundaries, in the past
or in the future, are predetermined.

With incomplete current period:

| | | | |
-------------------*
^ ^
| |
current

With this patch:

| | | | |
-------------------*
^ ^
| |
current

So, the precomputed sums in __accumulated_sum_N[] and
__accumulated_sum_N32[] should be updated accordingly.

Update the script to generate the constants:

print " #: inv_N sum_N"
print "-----------------------"
y = (0.5)**(1/32.0)
x = 2**32
xx = 1024
for i in range(0, 32):
if i == 0:
x = x-1
else:
x = x*y
xx = int(xx*y + 1024)
print "%2d: %#x %8d" % (i, int(x), int(xx))

print " #: sum_N32"
print "------------"
xxx = xx
for i in range(0, 11):
if i == 0:
xxx = xx
else:
xxx = xxx/2 + xx
print "%2d: %8d" % (i, xxx)
