The current SCHED_DEADLINE (DL) scheduler uses a global EDF scheduling algorithm w/o considering CPU capacity or task utilization. This works well on homogeneous systems where DL tasks are guaranteed to have a bounded tardiness but presents issues on heterogeneous systems. A DL task can migrate to a CPU which does not have enough CPU capacity to correctly serve the task (e.g. a task w/ 70ms runtime and 100ms period on a CPU w/ 512 capacity). Add the DL fitness function dl_task_fits_capacity() for DL admission control on heterogeneous systems. A task fits onto a CPU if: CPU original capacity / 1024 >= task runtime / task deadline Use this function on heterogeneous systems to try to find a CPU which meets this criterion during task wakeup, push and offline migration. On homogeneous systems the original behavior of the DL admission control should be retained.
