VRQ 0.95 is released with the following changes
1. Fix compilation issue with CONFIG_CPUSETS(thanks Dzon reporting this)
2. Introduce hrtimer for task time slice expiration.
3. NO_HZ_FULL support
4. cpumask topology output in hex format.
5. use cpu_online_mask in sched_init_topology_cpumask(), this fix wrong topology setup for some system.
The most important feature in this release is introduce hrtimer for task time slice expiration and re-enable NO_HZ_FULL support.
For issues, Dazon also report his issue that unable to achieve full cpu utilization in kernel compilation. And I am still investigating, anyone else has similar issue could let me know.
In next release, SMT improvement is in the plan list.
Enjoy VRQ 0.95 for
v4.10 kernel, :)
