[RFC PATCH 07/13] sched: Add core wide task selection and scheduling.

vpillai
2020-03-04T17:00:58Z

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

Instead of only selecting a local task, select a task for all SMT
siblings for every reschedule on the core (irrespective which logical
CPU does the reschedule).

There could be races in core scheduler where a CPU is trying to pick
a task for its sibling in core scheduler, when that CPU has just been
offlined. We should not schedule any tasks on the CPU in this case.
Return an idle task in pick_next_task for this situation.

NOTE: there is still potential for siblings rivalry.
NOTE: this is far too complicated; but thus far I've failed to
simplify it further.
