+ * Global load-average calculations
+ *
+ * We take a distributed and async approach to calculating the global load-avg
+ * in order to minimize overhead.
+ *
+ * The global load average is an exponentially decaying average of nr_running +
+ * nr_uninterruptible.
+ *
+ * Once every LOAD_FREQ:
+ *
+ * nr_active = 0;
+ * for_each_possible_cpu(cpu)
+ * nr_active += cpu_of(cpu)->nr_running + cpu_of(cpu)->nr_uninterruptible;
+ *
+ * avenrun[n] = avenrun[0] * exp_n + nr_active * (1 - exp_n)
+ *
+ * Due to a number of reasons the above turns in the mess below:
+ *
+ * - for_each_possible_cpu() is prohibitively expensive on machines with
+ * serious number of cpus, therefore we need to take a distributed approach
+ * to calculating nr_active.
+ *
+ * \Sum_i x_i(t) = \Sum_i x_i(t) - x_i(t_0) | x_i(t_0) := 0
+ * = \Sum_i { \Sum_j=1 x_i(t_j) - x_i(t_j-1) }
+ *
+ * So assuming nr_active := 0 when we start out -- true per definition, we
+ * can simply take per-cpu deltas and fold those into a global accumulate
+ * to obtain the same result. See calc_load_fold_active().
+ *
+ * Furthermore, in order to avoid synchronizing all per-cpu delta folding
+ * across the machine, we assume 10 ticks is sufficient time for every
+ * cpu to have completed this task.
+ *
+ * This places an upper-bound on the IRQ-off latency of the machine. Then
+ * again, being late doesn't loose the delta, just wrecks the sample.
+ *
+ * - cpu_rq()->nr_uninterruptible isn't accurately tracked per-cpu because
+ * this would add another cross-cpu cacheline miss and atomic operation
+ * to the wakeup path. Instead we increment on whatever cpu the task ran
+ * when it went into uninterruptible state and decrement on whatever cpu
+ * did the wakeup. This means that only the sum of nr_uninterruptible over
+ * all cpus yields the correct result.
+ *
+ * This covers the NO_HZ=n code, for extra head-aches, see the comment below.

+ *
+ * Since the above described distributed algorithm to compute the global
+ * load-average relies on per-cpu sampling from the tick, it is affected by
+ * NO_HZ.
+ *
+ * The basic idea is to fold the nr_active delta into a global idle-delta upon
+ * entering NO_HZ state such that we can include this as an 'extra' cpu delta
+ * when we read the global state.
+ *
+ * Obviously reality has to ruin such a delightfully simple scheme:
+ *
+ * - When we go NO_HZ idle during the window, we can negate our sample
+ * contribution, causing under-accounting.
+ *
+ * We avoid this by keeping two idle-delta counters and flipping them
+ * when the window starts, thus separating old and new NO_HZ load.
+ *
+ * The only trick is the slight shift in index flip for read vs write.
+ *
+ * 0s 5s 10s 15s

+ * |-|-----------|-|-----------|-|-----------|-|
+ * r:0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0
+ * w:0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0
+ *
+ * This ensures we'll fold the old idle contribution in this window while
+ * accumlating the new one.
+ *
+ * - When we wake up from NO_HZ idle during the window, we push up our
+ * contribution, since we effectively move our sample point to a known
+ * busy state.
+ *
+ * This is solved by pushing the window forward, and thus skipping the
+ * sample, for this cpu (effectively using the idle-delta for this cpu which
+ * was in effect at the time the window opened). This also solves the issue
+ * of having to deal with a cpu having been in NOHZ idle for multiple
+ * LOAD_FREQ intervals.
*
* When making the ILB scale, we should try to pull this in as well.
