Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - Add the SYSTEM_SCHEDULING bootup state to move various scheduler
     debug checks earlier into the bootup. This turns silent and
     sporadically deadly bugs into nice, deterministic splats. Fix some
     of the splats that triggered. (Thomas Gleixner)

   - A round of restructuring and refactoring of the load-balancing and
     topology code (Peter Zijlstra)

   - Another round of consolidating ~20 of incremental scheduler code
     history: this time in terms of wait-queue nomenclature. (I didn't
     get much feedback on these renaming patches, and we can still
     easily change any names I might have misplaced, so if anyone hates
     a new name, please holler and I'll fix it.) (Ingo Molnar)

   - sched/numa improvements, fixes and updates (Rik van Riel)

   - Another round of x86/tsc scheduler clock code improvements, in hope
     of making it more robust (Peter Zijlstra)

   - Improve NOHZ behavior (Frederic Weisbecker)

   - Deadline scheduler improvements and fixes (Luca Abeni, Daniel
     Bristot de Oliveira)

   - Simplify and optimize the topology setup code (Lauro Ramos
     Venancio)

   - Debloat and decouple scheduler code some more (Nicolas Pitre)

   - Simplify code by making better use of llist primitives (Byungchul
     Park)

   - ... plus other fixes and improvements"

2.2 Bandwidth reclaiming
------------------------

Bandwidth reclaiming for deadline tasks is based on the GRUB (Greedy
Reclamation of Unused Bandwidth) algorithm [15, 16, 17] and it is enabled
when flag SCHED_FLAG_RECLAIM is set.

The following diagram illustrates the state names for tasks handled by GRUB:

------------
(d) | Active |
------------->| |
| | Contending |
| ------------
| A |
---------- | |
| | | |
| Inactive | |(b) | (a)
| | | |
---------- | |
A | V
| ------------
| | Active |
--------------| Non |
(c) | Contending |
------------

A task can be in one of the following states:

- ActiveContending: if it is ready for execution (or executing);

- ActiveNonContending: if it just blocked and has not yet surpassed the 0-lag
time;

- Inactive: if it is blocked and has surpassed the 0-lag time.

State transitions:

(a) When a task blocks, it does not become immediately inactive since its
bandwidth cannot be immediately reclaimed without breaking the
real-time guarantees. It therefore enters a transitional state called
ActiveNonContending. The scheduler arms the "inactive timer" to fire at
the 0-lag time, when the task's bandwidth can be reclaimed without
breaking the real-time guarantees.

The 0-lag time for a task entering the ActiveNonContending state is
computed as

(runtime * dl_period)
deadline - ---------------------
dl_runtime

where runtime is the remaining runtime, while dl_runtime and dl_period
are the reservation parameters.

(b) If the task wakes up before the inactive timer fires, the task re-enters
the ActiveContending state and the "inactive timer" is canceled.
In addition, if the task wakes up on a different runqueue, then
the task's utilization must be removed from the previous runqueue's active
utilization and must be added to the new runqueue's active utilization.
In order to avoid races between a task waking up on a runqueue while the
"inactive timer" is running on a different CPU, the "dl_non_contending"
flag is used to indicate that a task is not on a runqueue but is active
(so, the flag is set when the task blocks and is cleared when the
"inactive timer" fires or when the task wakes up).

(c) When the "inactive timer" fires, the task enters the Inactive state and
its utilization is removed from the runqueue's active utilization.

(d) When an inactive task wakes up, it enters the ActiveContending state and
its utilization is added to the active utilization of the runqueue where
it has been enqueued.

For each runqueue, the algorithm GRUB keeps track of two different bandwidths:

- Active bandwidth (running_bw): this is the sum of the bandwidths of all
tasks in active state (i.e., ActiveContending or ActiveNonContending);

- Total bandwidth (this_bw): this is the sum of all tasks "belonging" to the
runqueue, including the tasks in Inactive state.


The algorithm reclaims the bandwidth of the tasks in Inactive state.
It does so by decrementing the runtime of the executing task Ti at a pace equal
to

dq = -max{ Ui, (1 - Uinact) } dt

where Uinact is the inactive utilization, computed as (this_bq - running_bw),
and Ui is the bandwidth of task Ti.


Let's now see a trivial example of two deadline tasks with runtime equal
to 4 and period equal to 8 (i.e., bandwidth equal to 0.5):

A Task T1
|
| |
| |
|-------- |----
| | V
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--------->t
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8


A Task T2
|
| |
| |
| ------------------------|
| | V
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--------->t
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8


A running_bw
|
1 ----------------- ------
| | |
0.5- -----------------
| |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--------->t
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8


- Time t = 0:

Both tasks are ready for execution and therefore in ActiveContending state.
Suppose Task T1 is the first task to start execution.
Since there are no inactive tasks, its runtime is decreased as dq = -1 dt.

- Time t = 2:

Suppose that task T1 blocks
Task T1 therefore enters the ActiveNonContending state. Since its remaining
runtime is equal to 2, its 0-lag time is equal to t = 4.
Task T2 start execution, with runtime still decreased as dq = -1 dt since
there are no inactive tasks.

- Time t = 4:

This is the 0-lag time for Task T1. Since it didn't woken up in the
meantime, it enters the Inactive state. Its bandwidth is removed from
running_bw.
Task T2 continues its execution. However, its runtime is now decreased as
dq = - 0.5 dt because Uinact = 0.5.
Task T2 therefore reclaims the bandwidth unused by Task T1.

- Time t = 8:

Task T1 wakes up. It enters the ActiveContending state again, and the
running_bw is incremented.
