I have run various tests with your sched/core-sched branch on my arm64
machine: 2 numa * 28 cores * SMT4

List of tests:
perf sched pipe
hackbench process and threads with 1,4,16,32,64,128,256 groups
tbench with 1,4,16,32,64,128,256 groups
Unixbench shell and exec
reaim

core-sched was compiled but not used: CONFIG_SCHED_CORE=y

I haven't seen any regressions or problems; it's a mix of +/- 1-2%. I
have only seen one significant improvement for hackbench -g 1 (+4.92%)
that I don't really explain. Will dig a bit one this later

So Tested-by: Vincent Guittot <vincent.guitto@xxxxxxxxxx>
