Ensure that the move of a sched_entity will be reflected in load and utilization of the task_group hierarchy.
When a sched_entity moves between groups or CPUs, load and utilization of cfs_rq don't reflect the changes immediately but converge to new values. As a result, the metrics are no more aligned with the new balance of the load in the system and next decisions will have a biased view.
This patchset synchronizes load/utilization of sched_entity with its child cfs_rq (se->my-q) only when tasks move to/from child cfs_rq: -move between task group -migration between CPUs Otherwise, PELT is updated as usual.
Changes since v2: - Propagate both utilization and load - Synced sched_entity and se->my_q instead of adding the delta
Changes since v1: - This patch needs the patch that fixes issue with rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list "sched: fix hierarchical order in rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list" in order to work correctly. I haven't sent them as a single patchset because the fix is independent of this one - Merge some functions that are always used together - During update of blocked load, ensure that the sched_entity is synced with the cfs_rq applying changes - Fix an issue when task changes its cpu affinity
