Give reduced sleeper credit to SCHED_IDLE entities. As a result, woken SCHED_IDLE entities will take longer to preempt normal entities. The benefit of this change is to make it less likely that a newly woken SCHED_IDLE entity will preempt a short-running normal entity before it blocks. We still give a small sleeper credit to SCHED_IDLE entities, so that idle<->idle competition retains some fairness. Example: With HZ=1000, spawned four threads affined to one cpu, one of which was set to SCHED_IDLE. Without this patch, wakeup latency for the SCHED_IDLE thread was ~1-2ms, with the patch the wakeup latency was ~5ms.

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.
