Linus Torvalds 2cbf335f8c Scheduler updates for v7.2:
SMP load-balancing updates:
 
  - A large series to introduce infrastructure for cache-aware load
    balancing, with the goal of co-locating tasks that share data
    within the same Last Level Cache (LLC) domain. By improving cache
    locality, the scheduler can reduce cache bouncing and cache misses,
    ultimately improving data access efficiency.
 
    Implemented by Chen Yu and Tim Chen, based on early prototype work
    by Peter Zijlstra, with fixes by Jianyong Wu, Peter Zijlstra and
    Shrikanth Hegde.
 
  - A series to simplify CONFIG_SCHED_SMT ifdef usage (Shrikanth Hegde)
 
 Fair scheduler updates:
 
  - A series to improve SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY scheduling by introducing
    SMT awareness (Andrea Righi, K Prateek Nayak)
 
  - A series to optimize cfs_rq and sched_entity allocation for
    better data locality (Zecheng Li)
 
  - A preparatory series to change fair/cgroup scheduling to a single
    runqueue, without the final change (Peter Zijlstra)
 
  - Auto-manage ext/fair dl_server bandwidth (Andrea Righi)
 
  - Fix cpu_util runnable_avg arithmetic (Hongyan Xia)
 
  - Optimize update_tg_load_avg()'s rate-limiting code
    (Rik van Riel)
 
  - Allow account_cfs_rq_runtime() to throttle current hierarchy
    (K Prateek Nayak)
 
  - Update util_est after updating util_avg during dequeue, to fix
    the util signal update logic, which reduces signal noise
    (Vincent Guittot)
 
 Scheduler topology updates:
 
  - Allow multiple domains to claim sched_domain_shared (K Prateek Nayak)
 
  - Add parameter to split LLC (Peter Zijlstra)
 
 Core scheduler updates:
 
  - Use trace_call__<tp>() to save a static branch (Gabriele Monaco)
 
 Scheduler statistics updates:
 
  - Drop now-stale mul_u64_u64_div_u64() cputime over-approximation guard
    (Nicolas Pitre)
 
 Deadline scheduler updates:
 
  - Reject debugfs dl_server writes for offline CPUs (Andrea Righi)
 
  - Fix replenishment logic for non-deferred servers
    (Yuri Andriaccio)
 
 RT scheduling updates:
 
  - Turn RT_PUSH_IPI default off for non PREEMPT_RT (Steven Rostedt)
 
  - Update default bandwidth for real-time tasks to 1.0
    (Yuri Andriaccio)
 
 Proxy scheduling updates:
 
  - A series to implement Optimized Donor Migration for Proxy Execution
    (John Stultz, Peter Zijlstra)
 
  - Various proxy scheduling cleanups and fixes
    (Peter Zijlstra, K Prateek Nayak)
 
 Misc fixes, improvements and cleanups by Aaron Lu, Andrea Righi,
 Zenghui Yu, Chen Yu, Guanyou.Chen, John Stultz, Shrikanth Hegde,
 Peter Zijlstra, Liang Luo and Yiyang Chen.
