Peter Zijlstra 33cf66d883 sched/fair: Proportional newidle balance
Add a randomized algorithm that runs newidle balancing proportional to
its success rate.

This improves schbench significantly:

 6.18-rc4:			2.22 Mrps/s
 6.18-rc4+revert:		2.04 Mrps/s
 6.18-rc4+revert+random:	2.18 Mrps/S

Conversely, per Adam Li this affects SpecJBB slightly, reducing it by 1%:

 6.17:			-6%
 6.17+revert:		 0%
 6.17+revert+random:	-1%

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 reStructuredText 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.
