+ migration_cost=
+ [KNL,SMP] debug: override scheduler migration costs
+ Format: <level-1-usecs>,<level-2-usecs>,...
+ This debugging option can be used to override the
+ default scheduler migration cost matrix. The numbers
+ are indexed by 'CPU domain distance'.
+ E.g. migration_cost=1000,2000,3000 on an SMT NUMA
+ box will set up an intra-core migration cost of
+ 1 msec, an inter-core migration cost of 2 msecs,
+ and an inter-node migration cost of 3 msecs.
+
+ WARNING: using the wrong values here can break
+ scheduler performance, so it's only for scheduler
+ development purposes, not production environments.
+
+ migration_debug=
+ [KNL,SMP] migration cost auto-detect verbosity
+ Format=<0|1|2>
+ If a system's migration matrix reported at bootup
+ seems erroneous then this option can be used to
+ increase verbosity of the detection process.
+ We default to 0 (no extra messages), 1 will print
+ some more information, and 2 will be really
+ verbose (probably only useful if you also have a
+ serial console attached to the system).
+
+ migration_factor=
+ [KNL,SMP] multiply/divide migration costs by a factor
+ Format=<percent>
+ This debug option can be used to proportionally
+ increase or decrease the auto-detected migration
+ costs for all entries of the migration matrix.
+ E.g. migration_factor=150 will increase migration
+ costs by 50%. (and thus the scheduler will be less
+ eager migrating cache-hot tasks)
+ migration_factor=80 will decrease migration costs
+ by 20%. (thus the scheduler will be more eager to
+ migrate tasks)
+
+ WARNING: using the wrong values here can break
+ scheduler performance, so it's only for scheduler
+ development purposes, not production environments.
