Subject[PATCH 1/2] sched: Optimize ttwu() spinning on p->on_cpu
Date
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

Both Rik and Mel reported seeing ttwu() spend significant time on:

smp_cond_load_acquire(&p->on_cpu, !VAL);

Attempt to avoid this by queueing the wakeup on the CPU that owns the
p->on_cpu value. This will then allow the ttwu() to complete without
further waiting.

Since we run schedule() with interrupts disabled, the IPI is
guaranteed to happen after p->on_cpu is cleared, this is what makes it
safe to queue early.
