Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
- Remove the unused per rq load array and all its infrastructure, by
Dietmar Eggemann.
- Add utilization clamping support by Patrick Bellasi. This is a
refinement of the energy aware scheduling framework with support for
boosting of interactive and capping of background workloads: to make
sure critical GUI threads get maximum frequency ASAP, and to make
sure background processing doesn't unnecessarily move to cpufreq
governor to higher frequencies and less energy efficient CPU modes.
- Add the bare minimum of tracepoints required for LISA EAS regression
testing, by Qais Yousef - which allows automated testing of various
power management features, including energy aware scheduling.
- Restructure the former tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() facility that the -rt
kernel used to modify the scheduler's CPU affinity logic such as
migrate_disable() - introduce the task->cpus_ptr value instead of
taking the address of &task->cpus_allowed directly - by Sebastian
Andrzej Siewior.
- Misc optimizations, fixes, cleanups and small enhancements - see the
Git log for details.

In commit:
4b53a3412d ("sched/core: Remove the tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() wrapper")
the tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() wrapper was removed. There was not
much difference in !RT but in RT we used this to implement
migrate_disable(). Within a migrate_disable() section the CPU mask is
restricted to single CPU while the "normal" CPU mask remains untouched.
As an alternative implementation Ingo suggested to use:
struct task_struct {
const cpumask_t *cpus_ptr;
cpumask_t cpus_mask;
};
with
t->cpus_ptr = &t->cpus_mask;
In -RT we then can switch the cpus_ptr to:
t->cpus_ptr = &cpumask_of(task_cpu(p));
in a migration disabled region. The rules are simple:
- Code that 'uses' ->cpus_allowed would use the pointer.
- Code that 'modifies' ->cpus_allowed would use the direct mask.

David Rientjes has reported that commit 1860033237d4 ("mm: make
PR_SET_THP_DISABLE immediately active") has changed the way how we
report THPable VMAs to the userspace. Their monitoring tool is
triggering false alarms on PR_SET_THP_DISABLE tasks because it considers
an insufficient THP usage as a memory fragmentation resp. memory
pressure issue.
Before the said commit each newly created VMA inherited VM_NOHUGEPAGE
flag and that got exposed to the userspace via /proc/<pid>/smaps file.
This implementation had its downsides as explained in the commit message
but it is true that the userspace doesn't have any means to query for
the process wide THP enabled/disabled status.
PR_SET_THP_DISABLE is a process wide flag so it makes a lot of sense to
export in the process wide context rather than per-vma. Introduce a new
field to /proc/<pid>/status which export this status. If
PR_SET_THP_DISABLE is used then it reports false same as when the THP is
not compiled in. It doesn't consider the global THP status because we
already export that information via sysfs
