Linus Torvalds 54a728dc5e Scheduler udpates for this cycle:
- Changes to core scheduling facilities:
 
     - Add "Core Scheduling" via CONFIG_SCHED_CORE=y, which enables
       coordinated scheduling across SMT siblings. This is a much
       requested feature for cloud computing platforms, to allow
       the flexible utilization of SMT siblings, without exposing
       untrusted domains to information leaks & side channels, plus
       to ensure more deterministic computing performance on SMT
       systems used by heterogenous workloads.
 
       There's new prctls to set core scheduling groups, which
       allows more flexible management of workloads that can share
       siblings.
 
     - Fix task->state access anti-patterns that may result in missed
       wakeups and rename it to ->__state in the process to catch new
       abuses.
 
  - Load-balancing changes:
 
      - Tweak newidle_balance for fair-sched, to improve
        'memcache'-like workloads.
 
      - "Age" (decay) average idle time, to better track & improve workloads
        such as 'tbench'.
 
      - Fix & improve energy-aware (EAS) balancing logic & metrics.
 
      - Fix & improve the uclamp metrics.
 
      - Fix task migration (taskset) corner case on !CONFIG_CPUSET.
 
      - Fix RT and deadline utilization tracking across policy changes
 
      - Introduce a "burstable" CFS controller via cgroups, which allows
        bursty CPU-bound workloads to borrow a bit against their future
        quota to improve overall latencies & batching. Can be tweaked
        via /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/<X>/cpu.cfs_burst_us.
 
      - Rework assymetric topology/capacity detection & handling.
 
  - Scheduler statistics & tooling:
 
      - Disable delayacct by default, but add a sysctl to enable
        it at runtime if tooling needs it. Use static keys and
        other optimizations to make it more palatable.
 
      - Use sched_clock() in delayacct, instead of ktime_get_ns().
 
  - Misc cleanups and fixes.
