With this tunable you can make sys_sched_yield() be more aggressive, by moving the yielding task to the last position in the rbtree. The default is 0 (what Ingo Molnar likes), and when you set it to 1 you get what Linux Torvalds proposes.

with sched_compat_yield = 0:

   PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
  2539 mingo     20   0  1576  252  204 R   50  0.0   0:02.03 loop_yield
  2541 mingo     20   0  1576  244  196 R   50  0.0   0:02.05 loop

with sched_compat_yield = 1:

   PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
  2584 mingo     20   0  1576  248  196 R   99  0.0   0:52.45 loop
  2582 mingo     20   0  1576  256  204 R    0  0.0   0:00.00 loop_yield

This tunable is available in 2.6.23 or newer kernel.
