In the following commit:

  6b55c9654fcc ("sched/debug: Move print_cfs_rq() declaration to kernel/sched/sched.h")

the print_cfs_rq() prototype was added to &lt;kernel/sched/sched.h&gt;,
right next to the prototypes for print_cfs_stats(), print_rt_stats()
and print_dl_stats().

Finish this previous commit and also move related prototypes for
print_rt_rq() and print_dl_rq().

Remove existing extern declarations now that they not needed anymore.

Silences the following GCC warning, triggered by W=1:

  kernel/sched/debug.c:573:6: warning: no previous prototype for ‘print_rt_rq’ [-Wmissing-prototypes]
  kernel/sched/debug.c:603:6: warning: no previous prototype for ‘print_dl_rq’ [-Wmissing-prototypes]

<title>sched/core: Simplify helpers for rq clock update skip requests</title>

By renaming the functions we can get rid of the skip parameter
and have better code redability. It makes zero sense to have
things such as:

  rq_clock_skip_update(rq, false)

When the skip request is in fact not going to happen. Ever. Rename
things such that we end up with:

  rq_clock_skip_update(rq)
  rq_clock_cancel_skipupdate(rq)

While running rt-tests' pi_stress program I got the following splat:

  rq-&gt;clock_update_flags &lt; RQCF_ACT_SKIP
  WARNING: CPU: 27 PID: 0 at kernel/sched/sched.h:960 assert_clock_updated.isra.38.part.39+0x13/0x20

We can get rid of it be the "traditional" means of adding an
update_rq_clock() call after acquiring the rq-&gt;lock in
do_sched_rt_period_timer().

The case for the RT task throttling (which this workload also hits)
can be ignored in that the skip_update call is actually bogus and
quite the contrary (the request bits are removed/reverted).

By setting RQCF_UPDATED we really don't care if the skip is happening
or not and will therefore make the assert_clock_updated() check happy.

Instead of trying to duplicate scheduler state to track if an RT task
is running, directly use the scheduler runqueue state for it.

This vastly simplifies things and fixes a number of bugs related to
sugov and the scheduler getting out of sync wrt this state.

As a consequence we not also update the remove cfs/dl state when
iterating the shared mask.

There are similarly named functions in both of these modules:

  kernel/sched/deadline.c:static inline void queue_push_tasks(struct rq *rq)
  kernel/sched/deadline.c:static inline void queue_pull_task(struct rq *rq)
  kernel/sched/deadline.c:static inline void queue_push_tasks(struct rq *rq)

... which makes it harder to grep for them. Prefix them with
deadline_ and rt_, respectively.

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.

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/isolation: Offload residual 1Hz scheduler tick</title>

<content type='text'>
When a CPU runs in full dynticks mode, a 1Hz tick remains in order to
keep the scheduler stats alive. However this residual tick is a burden
for bare metal tasks that can't stand any interruption at all, or want
to minimize them.

The usual boot parameters "nohz_full=" or "isolcpus=nohz" will now
outsource these scheduler ticks to the global workqueue so that a
housekeeping CPU handles those remotely. The sched_class::task_tick()
implementations have been audited and look safe to be called remotely
as the target runqueue and its current task are passed in parameter
and don't seem to be accessed locally.

Note that in the case of using isolcpus, it's still up to the user to
affine the global workqueues to the housekeeping CPUs through
/sys/devices/virtual/workqueue/cpumask or domains isolation
"isolcpus=nohz,domain".

rq-&gt;clock_task may be updated between the two calls of
rq_clock_task() in update_curr_rt(). Calling rq_clock_task() only
once makes it more accurate and efficient, taking update_curr() as
reference.
