Do the following cleanups and simplifications:

 - sched/sched.h already includes &lt;asm/paravirt.h&gt;, so no need to
   include it in sched/core.c again.

 - order the &lt;linux/sched/*.h&gt; headers alphabetically

 - add all &lt;linux/sched/*.h&gt; headers to kernel/sched/sched.h

 - remove all unnecessary includes from the .c files that
   are already included in kernel/sched/sched.h.

Finally, make all scheduler .c files use a single common header:

  #include "sched.h"

... which now contains a union of the relied upon headers.

This makes the various .c files easier to read and easier to handle.

<title>sched: Clean up and harmonize the coding style of the scheduler code base</title>

<content type='text'>
A good number of small style inconsistencies have accumulated
in the scheduler core, so do a pass over them to harmonize
all these details:

 - fix speling in comments,

 - use curly braces for multi-line statements,

 - remove unnecessary parentheses from integer literals,

 - capitalize consistently,

 - remove stray newlines,

 - add comments where necessary,

 - remove invalid/unnecessary comments,

 - align structure definitions and other data types vertically,

 - add missing newlines for increased readability,

 - fix vertical tabulation where it's misaligned,

 - harmonize preprocessor conditional block labeling
   and vertical alignment,

 - remove line-breaks where they uglify the code,

 - add newline after local variable definitions,

No change in functionality:

<title>sched/clock: Fix early boot preempt assumption in __set_sched_clock_stable()</title>

The more strict early boot preemption warnings found that
__set_sched_clock_stable() was incorrectly assuming we'd still be
running on a single CPU:

<title>sched/clock: Print a warning recommending 'tsc=unstable'</title>

With our switch to stable delayed until late_initcall(), the most
likely cause of hitting mark_tsc_unstable() is the watchdog. The
watchdog typically only triggers when creative BIOS'es fiddle with the
TSC to hide SMI latency.

Since the watchdog can only detect TSC fiddling after the fact all TSC
clocks (including userspace GTOD) can already have reported funny
values.

The only way to fully avoid this, is manually marking the TSC unstable
at boot. Suggest people do this on their broken systems.

Core2 marks its TSC unstable in ACPI Processor Idle, which is probed
after sched_init_smp(). Luckily it appears both acpi_processor and
intel_idle (which has a similar check) are mandatory built-in.

This means we can delay switching to stable until after these drivers
have ran (if they were modules, this would be impossible).

Delay the stable switch to late_initcall() to allow these drivers to
mark TSC unstable and avoid difficult stable-&gt;unstable transitions.

Ville reported that on his Core2, which has TSC stop in idle, we would
always report very short idle durations. He tracked this down to
commit:

  e93e59ce5b85 ("cpuidle: Replace ktime_get() with local_clock()")

which replaces ktime_get() with local_clock().

Add a sched_clock_idle_wakeup_event() call, which will re-sync the
clock with ktime_get_ns() when TSC is unstable and no-op otherwise.

Commit:

  2bacec8c318c ("sched: touch softlockup watchdog after idling")

introduced the touch_softlockup_watchdog_sched() call without
justification and I feel sched_clock management is not the right
place, it should only be concerned with producing semi coherent time.

If this causes watchdog thingies, we can find a better place.

The argument to sched_clock_idle_wakeup_event() has not been used in a
long time. Remove it.

Currently we keep sched_clock_tick() active for stable TSC in order to
keep the per-CPU state semi up-to-date. The (obvious) problem is that
by the time we detect TSC is borked, our per-CPU state is also borked.

So hook into the clocksource watchdog and call a method after we've
found it to still be stable.

There's the obvious race where the TSC goes wonky between finding it
stable and us running the callback, but closing that is too much work
and not really worth it, since we're already detecting TSC wobbles
after the fact, so we cannot, per definition, fully avoid funny clock
values.

And since the watchdog runs less often than the tick, this is also an
optimization.
