- Change minimal time-quantum to ~20 ms.
- Thus remove unneeded pool in M2, and unused sched_lwp_exit().
- Do not increase l_slptime twice for SCHED_4BSD (regression fix).
mi_switch(), migration for LSONPROC is now performed via idle loop.
Handles/fixes on-CPU case in lwp_migrate(), misc.
Closes PR/38169, idea of migration via idle loop by Andrew Doran.
- Fix performance regression inroduced by the workaround by making job
stealing a lot simpler: if the local run queue is empty, let the CPU enter
the idle loop. In the idle loop, try to steal a job from another CPU's run
queue if we are idle. If we succeed, re-enter mi_switch() immediatley to
dispatch the job.
- When stealing jobs, consider a remote CPU to have one less job in its
queue if it's currently in the idle loop. It will dispatch the job soon,
so there's no point sloshing it about.
- Introduce a few event counters to monitor what's happening with the run
queues.
- Revert the idle CPU bitmap change. It's pointless considering NUMA.
Fail sched_catchlwp() if mutex_tryenter() on the remote CPU's state fails.
Seems to work around the issue described in this PR.
XXX Stealing jobs from remote CPUs could probably be moved into the idle
loop, making the locking quite a bit simpler.
