I can't recreate this problem running 'numactl -N 0 ./schbench -m 2 -t
10 -s 10000 -c 15000 -r 30' on my E5-2690 v2 (IVB-EP, 2 sockets, 10
cores / socket, 2 threads / core)

I tried tip/sched/core comparing running in 'cpu:/' and 'cpu:/foo' and

using your patch on top with all the combinations of {NO_}FUDGE,
{NO_}FUDGE2 with prop_type=shares_avg or prop_type_runnable.

Where you able to see the issue on tip/sched/core w/o your patch on your
machine?

The workload of n 60% periodic tasks on n logical cpus always creates a
very stable task distribution for me.
