From: Zecheng Li <zecheng@google.com>
Improve data locality and reduce pointer chasing by allocating struct
cfs_rq and struct sched_entity together for non-root task groups. This
is achieved by introducing a new combined struct cfs_tg_state that
holds both objects in a single allocation.
This patch:
- Introduces struct cfs_tg_state that embeds cfs_rq, sched_entity, and
sched_statistics together in a single structure.
- Updates __schedstats_from_se() in stats.h to use cfs_tg_state for
accessing sched_statistics from a group sched_entity.
- Modifies alloc_fair_sched_group() and free_fair_sched_group() to
allocate and free the new struct as a single unit.
- Modifies the per-CPU pointers in task_group->se and task_group->cfs_rq
to point to the members in the new combined structure.
