Subject[PATCH v1 02/19] sched: increase SCHED_LOAD_SCALE resolution
Date
Introduce SCHED_LOAD_RESOLUTION, which scales is added to SCHED_LOAD_SHIFT and
increases the resolution of SCHED_LOAD_SCALE. This patch sets the value of
SCHED_LOAD_RESOLUTION to 10, scaling up the weights for all sched entities by
a factor of 1024. With this extra resolution, we can handle deeper cgroup
hiearchies and the scheduler can do better shares distribution and load
load balancing on larger systems (especially for low weight task groups).

This does not change the existing user interface, the scaled weights are only
used internally. We do not modify prio_to_weight values or inverses, but use
the original weights when calculating the inverse which is used to scale
execution time delta in calc_delta_mine(). This ensures we do not lose accuracy
when accounting time to the sched entities. Thanks to Nikunj Dadhania for fixing
an bug in c_d_m() that broken fairness.
