Subject[patch 0/2] sched, timers: simplify calc_load and avoid cpu iteration loop
Dimitri Sivanich pointed out that calc_load iterates over all online
CPUs under xtime lock which can cause long latencies on large SMP
systems.

The following patch series removes the iteration loop and lets
scheduler_tick() on each CPU update the number of active tasks. The
calc_load() function just uses this variable and updates avenrun from
do_timer().

Dimitri, can you please test run this on one of your large machines ?

Thanks,

tglx
