Both avg_overlap and avg_wakeup had an inherent problem in that their accuracy
was detrimentally affected by cross-cpu wakeups, this because we are missing
the necessary call to update_curr(). This can't be fixed without increasing
overhead in our already too fat fastpath.
Additionally, with recent load balancing changes making us prefer to place tasks
in an idle cache domain (which is good for compute bound loads), communicating
tasks suffer when a sync wakeup, which would enable affine placement, is turned
into a non-sync wakeup by SYNC_LESS. With one task on the runqueue, wake_affine()
rejects the affine wakeup request, leaving the unfortunate where placed, taking
frequent cache misses.
Remove it, and recover some fastpath cycles.

Impact: extend /proc/sched_debug info
Since the statistics of a group entity isn't exported directly from the
kernel, it becomes difficult to obtain some of the group statistics.
For example, the current method to obtain exec time of a group entity
is not always accurate. One has to read the exec times of all
the tasks(/proc/<pid>/sched) in the group and add them. This method
fails (or becomes difficult) if we want to collect stats of a group over
a duration where tasks get created and terminated.
This patch makes it easier to obtain group stats by directly including
them in /proc/sched_debug. Stats like group exec time would help user
programs (like LTP) to accurately measure the group fairness.
An example output of group stats from /proc/sched_debug:

this replaces the rq->clock stuff (and possibly cpu_clock()).
- architectures that have an 'imperfect' hardware clock can set
CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK
- the 'jiffie' window might be superfulous when we update tick_gtod
before the __update_sched_clock() call in sched_clock_tick()
- cpu_clock() might be implemented as:
sched_clock_cpu(smp_processor_id())
if the accuracy proves good enough - how far can TSC drift in a
single jiffie when considering the filtering and idle hooks?

improve affine wakeups. Maintain the 'overlap' metric based on CFS's
sum_exec_runtime - which means the amount of time a task executes
after it wakes up some other task.
Use the 'overlap' for the wakeup decisions: if the 'overlap' is short,
it means there's strong workload coupling between this task and the
woken up task. If the 'overlap' is large then the workload is decoupled
and the scheduler will move them to separate CPUs more easily.
( Also slightly move the preempt_check within try_to_wake_up() - this has
no effect on functionality but allows 'early wakeups' (for still-on-rq
tasks) to be correctly accounted as well.)

Right now, the linux kernel (with scheduler statistics enabled) keeps track
of the maximum time a process is waiting to be scheduled. While the maximum
is a very useful metric, tracking average and total is equally useful
(at least for latencytop) to figure out the accumulated effect of scheduler
delays. The accumulated effect is important to judge the performance impact

schedstat is useful in investigating CPU scheduler behavior. Ideally,
I think it is beneficial to have it on all the time. However, the
cost of turning it on in production system is quite high, largely due
to number of events it collects and also due to its large memory
footprint.
Most of the fields probably don't need to be full 64-bit on 64-bit
arch. Rolling over 4 billion events will most like take a long time
and user space tool can be made to accommodate that. I'm proposing
kernel to cut back most of variable width on 64-bit system. (note,
