Adds accounting for "forced idle" time, which is time where a cookie'd task forces its SMT sibling to idle, despite the presence of runnable tasks. Forced idle time is one means to measure the cost of enabling core scheduling (ie. the capacity lost due to the need to force idle). Forced idle time is attributed to the thread responsible for causing the forced idle. A few details: - Forced idle time is displayed via /proc/PID/sched. It also requires that schedstats is enabled. - Forced idle is only accounted when a sibling hyperthread is held idle despite the presence of runnable tasks. No time is charged if a sibling is idle but has no runnable tasks. - Tasks with 0 cookie are never charged forced idle. - For SMT > 2, we scale the amount of forced idle charged based on the number of forced idle siblings. Additionally, we split the time up and evenly charge it to all running tasks, as each is equally responsible for the forced idle.
