Since it was too hot to do outside chores (any excuse will do;)...
If we're (read /me) on track, the bellow should help. Per my tracing,
it may want a wee bit of toning down actually, though when I trace
virgin source I expect to see the same, namely Xorg and friends having
"wide-load" tattooed across their hindquarters earlier than they should.
It doesn't seem to hurt anything, but then demolishing a single llc box
is a tad more difficult than demolishing a NUMA box.
sched: beef up wake_wide()
Josef Bacik reported that Facebook sees better performance with their
1:N load (1 dispatch/node, N workers/node) when carrying an old patch
to try very hard to wake to an idle CPU. While looking at wake_wide(),
I noticed that it doesn't pay attention to wakeup of the 1:N waker,
returning 1 only when waking one of its N minions.
Correct that, and give the user the option to do an expensive balance IFF
select_idle_sibling() doesn't find an idle CPU, and IFF the wakee is the
the 1:N dispatcher of work, thus worth some extra effort.
