Add the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as base
Import the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as OPNFV kvm base.
It's from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git linux-4.1.y-rt and
the base is:
commit 0917f823c59692d751951bf5ea699a2d1e2f26a2
Author: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>
Date: Sat Jul 25 12:13:34 2015 +0200
Prepare v4.1.3-rt3
Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>
We lose all the git history this way and it's not good. We
should apply another opnfv project repo in future.

But a reasonable approximation can be made to measure + * thrashing on the inactive list, after which refaulting pages can be + * activated optimistically to compete with the existing active pages. + * + * Approximating inactive page access frequency - Observations: + * + * 1. When a page is accessed for the first time, it is added to the + * head of the inactive list, slides every existing inactive page + * towards the tail by one slot, and pushes the current tail page + * out of memory. + * + * 2. When a page is accessed for the second time, it is promoted to + * the active list, shrinking the inactive list by one slot. This + * also slides all inactive pages that were faulted into the cache + * more recently than the activated page towards the tail of the + * inactive list. + * + * Thus: + * + * 1. The sum of evictions and activations between any two points in + * time indicate the minimum number of inactive pages accessed in + * between. + * + * 2. Moving one inactive page N page slots towards the tail of the + * list requires at least N inactive page accesses. + * + * Combining these: + * + * 1. When a page is finally evicted from memory, the number of + * inactive pages accessed while the page was in cache is at least + * the number of page slots on the inactive list. + * + * 2. In addition, measuring the sum of evictions and activations (E) + * at the time of a page's eviction, and comparing it to another + * reading (R) at the time the page faults back into memory tells + * the minimum number of accesses while the page was not cached. + * This is called the refault distance. + * + * Because the first access of the page was the fault and the second + * access the refault, we combine the in-cache distance with the + * out-of-cache distance to get the complete minimum access distance + * of this page: + * + * NR_inactive + (R - E) + * + * And knowing the minimum access distance of a page, we can easily + * tell if the page would be able to stay in cache assuming all page + * slots in the cache were available: + * + * NR_inactive + (R - E) <= NR_inactive + NR_active + * + * which can be further simplified to + * + * (R - E) <= NR_active + * + * Put into words, the refault distance (out-of-cache) can be seen as + * a deficit in inactive list space (in-cache). If the inactive list + * had (R - E) more page slots, the page would not have been evicted + * in between accesses, but activated instead. And on a full system, + * the only thing eating into inactive list space is active pages. + * + * + * Activating refaulting pages + * + * All that is known about the active list is that the pages have been + * accessed more than once in the past. This means that at any given + * time there is actually a good chance that pages on the active list + * are no longer in active use. + * + * So when a refault distance of (R - E) is observed and there are at + * least (R - E) active pages, the refaulting page is activated + * optimistically in the hope that (R - E) active pages are actually + * used less frequently than the refaulting page - or even not used at + * all anymore. + * + * If this is wrong and demotion kicks in, the pages which are truly + * used more frequently will be reactivated while the less frequently + * used once will be evicted from memory. + * + * But if this is right, the stale pages will be pushed out of memory + * and the used pages get to stay in cache. + * + * + * Implementation + * + * For each zone's file LRU lists, a counter for inactive evictions + * and activations is maintained (zone->inactive_age). + * + * On eviction, a snapshot of this counter (along with some bits to + * identify the zone) is stored in the now empty page cache radix tree + * slot of the evicted page.
