Mike reported a 13% drop in netperf TCP_RR performance due to the
new remote wakeup code. Suresh too noticed some performance issues
with it.Reducing the IPIs to only cross cache domains solves the observed
performance issues.Reported-by: Suresh Siddha

Now that we initialize jump_labels before sched_init() we can use them
for the debug features without having to worry about a window where
they have the wrong setting.Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra

Right now, after we collect tick statistics for user and system and store them
in a well known location, we keep the same statistics again for cpuacct.
Since cpuacct is hierarchical, the numbers for the root cgroup should be
absolutely equal to the system-wide numbers.So it would be better to just use it: this patch changes cpuacct accounting
in a way that the cpustat statistics are kept in a struct kernel_cpustat percpu
array. In the root cgroup case, we just point it to the main array. The rest of
the hierarchy walk can be totally disabled later with a static branch - but I am
not doing it here.Signed-off-by: Glauber Costa

Introduce nr_busy_cpus in the struct sched_group_power [Not in sched_group
because sched groups are duplicated for the SD_OVERLAP scheduler domain]
and for each cpu that enters and exits idle, this parameter will
be updated in each scheduler group of the scheduler domain that this cpu
belongs to.To avoid the frequent update of this state as the cpu enters
and exits idle, the update of the stat during idle exit is
delayed to the first timer tick that happens after the cpu becomes busy.
This is done using NOHZ_IDLE flag in the struct rq's nohz_flags.Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha

Introduce nohz_flags in the struct rq, which will track these two flags
for now.NOHZ_TICK_STOPPED keeps track of the tick stopped status that gets set when
the tick is stopped. It will be used to update the nohz idle load balancer data
structures during the first busy tick after the tick is restarted. At this
first busy tick after tickless idle, NOHZ_TICK_STOPPED flag will be reset.
This will minimize the nohz idle load balancer status updates that currently
happen for every tickless exit, making it more scalable when there
are many logical cpu's that enter and exit idle often.NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK will track the need for nohz idle load balance
on this rq. This will replace the nohz_balance_kick in the rq, which was
not being updated atomically.Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha

Instead of going through the scheduler domain hierarchy multiple times
(for giving priority to an idle core over an idle SMT sibling in a busy
core), start with the highest scheduler domain with the SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES
flag and traverse the domain hierarchy down till we find an idle group.This cleanup also addresses an issue reported by Mike where the recent
changes returned the busy thread even in the presence of an idle SMT
sibling in single socket platforms.Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha

There's too many sched*.[ch] files in kernel/, give them their own
