3a09b8d45b sched/Documentation/sched-rt-group: Fix incorrect example
I feel that the example given in the document to show the possibility
of task starvation of configurable period is wrong.

The example says group A and B both have 50% bandwidth, and a while (1)
loop in A will run for the full period of B and can starve B's tasks.

So I think the runtime of group A should be 50000us, then the period and
runtime of group B should be 50000us and 25000us.

0a0fca9d83 sched: Rename sched.c as sched/core.c in comments and Documentation
Most of the stuff from kernel/sched.c was moved to kernel/sched/core.c long time
back and the comments/Documentation never got updated.

I figured it out when I was going through sched-domains.txt and so thought of
fixing it globally.

I haven't crossed check if the stuff that is referenced in sched/core.c by all
these files is still present and hasn't changed as that wasn't the motive behind
this patch.

8e7fbcbc22 sched: Remove stale power aware scheduling remnants and dysfunctional knobs
It's been broken forever (i.e. it's not scheduling in a power
aware fashion), as reported by Suresh and others sending
patches, and nobody cares enough to fix it properly ...
so remove it to make space free for something better.

There's various problems with the code as it stands today, first
and foremost the user interface which is bound to topology
levels and has multiple values per level. This results in a
state explosion which the administrator or distro needs to
master and almost nobody does.

Furthermore large configuration state spaces aren't good, it
means the thing doesn't just work right because it's either
under so many impossibe to meet constraints, or even if
there's an achievable state workloads have to be aware of
it precisely and can never meet it for dynamic workloads.

So pushing this kind of decision to user-space was a bad idea
even with a single knob - it's exponentially worse with knobs
on every node of the topology.

There is a proposal to replace the user interface with a single
3 state knob:

 sched_balance_policy := { performance, power, auto }

where 'auto' would be the preferred default which looks at things
like Battery/AC mode and possible cpufreq state or whatever the hw
exposes to show us power use expectations - but there's been no
progress on it in the past many months.

Aside from that, the actual implementation of the various knobs
is known to be broken. There have been sporadic attempts at
fixing things but these always stop short of reaching a mergable
state.

Therefore this wholesale removal with the hopes of spurring
people who care to come forward once again and work on a
coherent replacement.

Currently we don't utilize the sched_switch field anymore.

But, simply removing sched_switch field from the middle of the

So, to stay compatible we hardcode it to zero and remove the

- fix two 80-chars issues (as the rest of the document adheres to it)
- bump a reference to kernel version, so the document does not feel aged

60aa605dfc sched: rt: document the risk of small values in the bandwidth settings
Thomas noted that we should disallow sysctl_sched_rt_runtime == 0 for
(!RT_GROUP) since the root group always has some RT tasks in it.

Further, update the documentation to inspire clue.

[ Impact: exclude corner-case sysctl_sched_rt_runtime value ]
