Linus Torvalds e4cbce4d13 The main changes in this cycle were:
- Improve uclamp performance by using a static key for the fast path
 
  - Add the "sched_util_clamp_min_rt_default" sysctl, to optimize for
    better power efficiency of RT tasks on battery powered devices.
    (The default is to maximize performance & reduce RT latencies.)
 
  - Improve utime and stime tracking accuracy, which had a fixed boundary
    of error, which created larger and larger relative errors as the values
    become larger. This is now replaced with more precise arithmetics,
    using the new mul_u64_u64_div_u64() helper in math64.h.
 
  - Improve the deadline scheduler, such as making it capacity aware
 
  - Improve frequency-invariant scheduling
 
  - Misc cleanups in energy/power aware scheduling
 
  - Add sched_update_nr_running tracepoint to track changes to nr_running
 
  - Documentation additions and updates
 
  - Misc cleanups and smaller fixes
