[RFC][PATCH 13/16] sched: Add core wide task selection and scheduling.

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Mon Feb 18 2019 - 12:40:40 EST


Instead of only selecting a local task, select a task for all SMT
siblings for every reschedule on the core (irrespective which logical
CPU does the reschedule).

NOTE: there is still potential for siblings rivalry.
NOTE: this is far too complicated; but thus far I've failed to
simplify it further.
