There is a possibility that because of task of a group moving from one
cpu to another, it may gain more cpu time that desired. See
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119073197730334 for details.
This is an attempt to fix that problem. Basically it simulates dequeue
of higher level entities as if they are going to sleep. Similarly it
simulate wakeup of higher level entities as if they are waking up from
sleep.
The adjusting sched_class is a missing part of the already existing "do
not leak PI boosting priority to the child" at the sched_fork(). This
patch moves the adjusting sched_class from wake_up_new_task() to
sched_fork().
this also shrinks the code a bit:

Enable user-id based fair group scheduling. This is useful for anyone
who wants to test the group scheduler w/o having to enable
CONFIG_CGROUPS.
A separate scheduling group (i.e struct task_grp) is automatically created for
every new user added to the system. Upon uid change for a task, it is made to
move to the corresponding scheduling group.
A /proc tunable (/proc/root_user_share) is also provided to tune root
user's quota of cpu bandwidth.

With the view of supporting user-id based fair scheduling (and not just

and makes them independent of whether they are being used for container

Also fix a problem reported by KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki (wrt allocating

the boot CPU local APIC timer before all CPUs are brought up. Some AMD C1E

the early enable of the boot CPU local APIC timer the APIC timer is
registered as a fully functional device. When we detect the wreckage during
the bringup of the secondary CPU, we need to force the boot CPU into
broadcast mode.
Check the C1E caused APIC timer disable, when the secondary APIC timer is
initialized. If the boot CPU APIC timer was registered as a functional
clock event device, then fix this up and utilize the
CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_FORCE mechanism to force the already
