[ Upstream commit98b0d89022] Rick reported performance regressions in bugzilla because of cpu frequency being lower than before: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215045 He bisected the problem to: commit1c35b07e6d("sched/fair: Ensure _sum and _avg values stay consistent") This commit forces util_sum to be synced with the new util_avg after removing the contribution of a task and before the next periodic sync. By doing so util_sum is rounded to its lower bound and might lost up to LOAD_AVG_MAX-1 of accumulated contribution which has not yet been reflected in util_avg. Instead of always setting util_sum to the low bound of util_avg, which can significantly lower the utilization of root cfs_rq after propagating the change down into the hierarchy, we revert the change of util_sum and propagate the difference. In addition, we also check that cfs's util_sum always stays above the lower bound for a given util_avg as it has been observed that sched_entity's util_sum is sometimes above cfs one.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
