The intel powerclamp driver will setup a per-CPU worker with RT
priority. The worker will then invoke play_idle() in which it remains in
the idle poll loop until it is stopped by the timer it started earlier.

That timer needs to expire in hard interrupt context on PREEMPT_RT.
Otherwise the timer will expire in ksoftirqd as a SOFT timer but that task
won't be scheduled on the CPU because its priority is lower than the
priority of the worker which is in the idle loop.

Always expire the idle timer in hard interrupt context.

When a sibling is forced-idle to match the core-cookie; search for
matching tasks to fill the core.

rcu_read_unlock() can incur an infrequent deadlock in
sched_core_balance(). Fix this by using the RCU-sched flavor instead.

Because sched_class::pick_next_task() also implies
sched_class::set_next_task() (and possibly put_prev_task() and
newidle_balance) it is not state invariant. This makes it unsuitable
for remote task selection.

Instead of waking up a random and already idle CPU, we can take advantage
of this_cpu being about to enter idle to run the ILB and update the
blocked load.

Entering RCU idle mode may cause a deferred wake up of an RCU NOCB_GP
kthread (rcuog) to be serviced.

Usually a local wake up happening while running the idle task is handled
in one of the need_resched() checks carefully placed within the idle
loop that can break to the scheduler.

Unfortunately the call to rcu_idle_enter() is already beyond the last
generic need_resched() check and we may halt the CPU with a resched
request unhandled, leaving the task hanging.

Fix this with splitting the rcuog wakeup handling from rcu_idle_enter()
and place it before the last generic need_resched() check in the idle
loop. It is then assumed that no call to call_rcu() will be performed
after that in the idle loop until the CPU is put in low power mode.

Pull scheduler updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - migrate_disable/enable() support which originates from the RT tree
   and is now a prerequisite for the new preemptible kmap_local() API
   which aims to replace kmap_atomic().

 - A fair amount of topology and NUMA related improvements

 - Improvements for the frequency invariant calculations

 - Enhanced robustness for the global CPU priority tracking and decision
   making

 - The usual small fixes and enhancements all over the place

We call arch_cpu_idle() with RCU disabled, but then use
local_irq_{en,dis}able(), which invokes tracing, which relies on RCU.

Switch all arch_cpu_idle() implementations to use
raw_local_irq_{en,dis}able() and carefully manage the
lockdep,rcu,tracing state like we do in entry.

(XXX: we really should change arch_cpu_idle() to not return with
interrupts enabled)

Only select_task_rq_fair() uses that parameter to do an actual domain
search, other classes only care about what kind of wakeup is happening
(fork, exec, or "regular") and thus just translate the flag into a wakeup
type.

WF_TTWU and WF_EXEC have just been added, use these along with WF_FORK to
encode the wakeup types we care about. For select_task_rq_fair(), we can
simply use the shiny new WF_flag : SD_flag mapping.
