I used all the 4 patches at the same time. Each patch fixes a different bug. Would you like me to try each of them individually? Were you already aware of each of these bugs?

I was running the distro in VirualBox on Fedora. Here's the info from /proc/sched_debug: https://justpaste.it/11dhb dmesg: https://justpaste.it/11dhr

No. On real hardware, I tested in Ubuntu on an i7-4790 3.60GHz CPU without disabling HT and I saw no difference between CFS, the patched kernel and MuQSS. If I get to know a reason why one would be better than the other, I'd take the time to test it on more hardware. I'm curious how I got such a performance improvement in my VM.
