Create an inline helper for conditional code to be only executed on
asymmetric CPU capacity systems. This makes these (currently ~10 and
future) conditions a lot more readable.

Similarly to kernel/sched/build_utility.c, collect all 'scheduling policy' related
source code files into kernel/sched/build_policy.c:

    kernel/sched/idle.c

    kernel/sched/rt.c

    kernel/sched/cpudeadline.c
    kernel/sched/pelt.c

    kernel/sched/cputime.c
    kernel/sched/deadline.c

With the exception of fair.c, which we continue to build as a separate file
for build efficiency and parallelism reasons.

<title>sched/deadline: Implement fallback mechanism for !fit case</title>

When a task has a runtime that cannot be served within the scheduling
deadline by any of the idle CPU (later_mask) the task is doomed to miss
its deadline.

This can happen since the SCHED_DEADLINE admission control guarantees
only bounded tardiness and not the hard respect of all deadlines.
In this case try to select the idle CPU with the largest CPU capacity
to minimize tardiness.

Favor task_cpu(p) if it has max capacity of !fitting CPUs so that
find_later_rq() can potentially still return it (most likely cache-hot)
early.

<title>sched/deadline: Make DL capacity-aware</title>

<id>b4118988fdcb4554ea6687dd8ff68bcab690b8ea</id>
<content type='text'>
The current SCHED_DEADLINE (DL) scheduler uses a global EDF scheduling
algorithm w/o considering CPU capacity or task utilization.
This works well on homogeneous systems where DL tasks are guaranteed
to have a bounded tardiness but presents issues on heterogeneous
systems.

A DL task can migrate to a CPU which does not have enough CPU capacity
to correctly serve the task (e.g. a task w/ 70ms runtime and 100ms
period on a CPU w/ 512 capacity).

Add the DL fitness function dl_task_fits_capacity() for DL admission
control on heterogeneous systems. A task fits onto a CPU if:

    CPU original capacity / 1024 &gt;= task runtime / task deadline

Use this function on heterogeneous systems to try to find a CPU which
meets this criterion during task wakeup, push and offline migration.

On homogeneous systems the original behavior of the DL admission
control should be retained.

<title>sched/core: Provide a pointer to the valid CPU mask</title>

In commit:

  4b53a3412d66 ("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-&gt;cpus_ptr = &amp;t-&gt;cpus_mask;

In -RT we then can switch the cpus_ptr to:

	t-&gt;cpus_ptr = &amp;cpumask_of(task_cpu(p));

in a migration disabled region. The rules are simple:

 - Code that 'uses' -&gt;cpus_allowed would use the pointer.
 - Code that 'modifies' -&gt;cpus_allowed would use the direct mask.

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.
