[RFC 8/8] Do not reclaim the whole CPU bandwidth

Show all headers | View raw

Original GRUB tends to reclaim 100% of the CPU time... And this allows a
"CPU hog" (i.e., a busy loop) to starve non-deadline tasks.
To address this issue, allow the scheduler to reclaim only a specified
fraction of CPU time.
NOTE: the fraction of CPU time that cannot be reclaimed is currently
hardcoded as (1 << 20) / 10 -> 90%, but it must be made configurable!
