Subject[PATCH 2/2] sched/cfs: take into account current time segment
Date
To not consider the current time segment adds unwanted latency in the
load/util_avg responsivness especially when the time is scaled instead of
the contribution. Instead of waiting for the current time segment to have
fully elapsed before accounting it in load/util_avg, we can already account
the elapsed part but change the range used to compute load/util_avg
accordingly.
At the very beginning of a new time segment, the past segments have been
decayed and the max value is MAX_LOAD_AVG*y. At the very end of the current
time segment, the max value becomes 1024(us) + MAX_LOAD_AVG*y which is equal
to MAX_LOAD_AVG. In fact, the max value is
sa->period_contrib + MAX_LOAD_AVG*y at any time in the time segment.

Taking advantage of the fact that MAX_LOAD_AVG*y == MAX_LOAD_AVG-1024, the
range becomes [0..MAX_LOAD_AVG-1024+sa->period_contrib].

As the elapsed part is already accounted in load/util_sum, we update the max
value according to the current position in the time segment instead of
removing its contribution.
