SCHED_DEADLINE uses three parameters, named "runtime", "period", and
SCHED_DEADLINE [18] uses three parameters, named "runtime", "period", and
"deadline", to schedule tasks. A SCHED_DEADLINE task should receive
"runtime" microseconds of execution time every "period" microseconds, and
these "runtime" microseconds are available within "deadline" microseconds

scheduling deadline = scheduling deadline + period

The SCHED_FLAG_DL_OVERRUN flag in sched_attr's sched_flags field allows a task
to get informed about runtime overruns through the delivery of SIGXCPU
signals.

2.3 Energy-aware scheduling
------------------------
When cpufreq's schedutil governor is selected, SCHED_DEADLINE implements the
GRUB-PA [19] algorithm, reducing the CPU operating frequency to the minimum
value that still allows to meet the deadlines. This behavior is currently
implemented only for ARM architectures.
A particular care must be taken in case the time needed for changing frequency
is of the same order of magnitude of the reservation period. In such cases,
setting a fixed CPU frequency results in a lower amount of deadline misses.
