Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Scalability and load-balancing improvements:
- Enable scheduler feature NEXT_BUDDY (Mel Gorman)
- Reimplement NEXT_BUDDY to align with EEVDF goals (Mel Gorman)
- Skip sched_balance_running cmpxchg when balance is not due (Tim
Chen)
- Implement generic code for architecture specific sched domain NUMA
distances (Tim Chen)
- Optimize the NUMA distances of the sched-domains builds of Intel
Granite Rapids (GNR) and Clearwater Forest (CWF) platforms (Tim
Chen)
- Implement proportional newidle balance: a randomized algorithm that
runs newidle balancing proportional to its success rate. (Peter
Zijlstra)
Scheduler infrastructure changes:
- Implement the 'sched_change' scoped_guard() pattern for the entire
scheduler (Peter Zijlstra)
- More broadly utilize the sched_change guard (Peter Zijlstra)
- Add support to pick functions to take runqueue-flags (Joel
Fernandes)
- Provide and use set_need_resched_current() (Peter Zijlstra)
Fair scheduling enhancements:
- Forfeit vruntime on yield (Fernand Sieber)
- Only update stats for allowed CPUs when looking for dst group (Adam
Li)
CPU-core scheduling enhancements:
- Optimize core cookie matching check (Fernand Sieber)
Deadline scheduler fixes:
- Only set free_cpus for online runqueues (Doug Berger)
- Fix dl_server time accounting (Peter Zijlstra)
- Fix dl_server stop condition (Peter Zijlstra)
Proxy scheduling fixes:
- Yield the donor task (Fernand Sieber)
Fixes and cleanups:
- Fix do_set_cpus_allowed() locking (Peter Zijlstra)
- Fix migrate_disable_switch() locking (Peter Zijlstra)
- Remove double update_rq_clock() in __set_cpus_allowed_ptr_locked()
(Hao Jia)
- Increase sched_tick_remote timeout (Phil Auld)
- sched/deadline: Use cpumask_weight_and() in dl_bw_cpus() (Shrikanth
Hegde)
- sched/deadline: Clean up select_task_rq_dl() (Shrikanth Hegde)"
