Subject[RESEND PATCH 2/2] sched/fair: Optimize __update_sched_avg()
Date
__update_load_avg() has the following steps:

1. add the remainder of the last incomplete period
2. decay old sum
3. accumulate new sum in full periods since last_update_time
4. accumulate the current incomplete period
5. update averages

However, there is no need to separately compute steps 1, 3, and 4.

Illustation:

c1 c3 c4
^ ^ ^
| | |
|<->|<----------------->|<--->|
... |---x---|------| ... |------|-----x (now)

c1, c3, and c4 are the accumulated (meanwhile decayed) contributions
in timing in steps 1, 3, and 4 respectively.

With them, the accumulated contribution to load_sum, for example, is:

contrib = c1 * weight * freq_scaled;
contrib += c3 * weight * freq_scaled;
contrib += c4 * weight * freq_scaled;

Obviously, we can optimize the above and they equate to:

contrib = c1 + c3 + c4;
contrib *= weight * freq_scaled;

By doing so, we save instructions, and the codes are is obviously much
cleaner and simpler. One potential issue is that c1 must be additionally
decayed as opposed to doing it in step 2. However, these two approaches
should be about the same if you compare decay_load() with a round of
contrib accumulation.

Code size comparison (with allyesconfig):
