looking at it one more time:
(1) it looks to me that there is no need to call
sched_rt_ratio_exceeded() from pick_next_rt_entity()
- [ for CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED ] queues with rt_rq->rt_throttled are
not within this 'tree-like hierarchy' (or whatever we should call it
:-)
- there is also no need to re-check 'rt_rq->rt_time > ratio' at this
point as 'rt_rq->rt_time' couldn't have been increased since the last
call to update_curr_rt() (which obviously calls
sched_rt_ratio_esceeded())
well, it might be that 'ratio' for this rt_rq has been re-configured
(and the period over which this rt_rq was active has not yet been
finished)... but I don't think we should really take this into
account.
(2) now pick_next_rt_entity() must never return NULL, so let's change
pick_next_task_rt() accordingly.

Remove the curious logic to set it_sched_expires in the future. It useless
because rt.timeout wouldn't be incremented anyway.
Explicity check for RLIM_INFINITY as a test programm that had a 1s soft limit
and a inf hard limit would SIGKILL at 1s. This is because RLIM_INFINITY+d-1
is d-2.

Extend group scheduling to also cover the realtime classes. It uses the time
limiting introduced by the previous patch to allow multiple realtime groups.
The hard time limit is required to keep behaviour deterministic.
The algorithms used make the realtime scheduler O(tg), linear scaling wrt the
number of task groups. This is the worst case behaviour I can't seem to get out
of, the avg. case of the algorithms can be improved, I focused on correctness
and worst case.

Very simple time limit on the realtime scheduling classes.
Allow the rq's realtime class to consume sched_rt_ratio of every
sched_rt_period slice. If the class exceeds this quota the fair class
will preempt the realtime class.

Use HR-timers (when available) to deliver an accurate preemption tick.
The regular scheduler tick that runs at 1/HZ can be too coarse when nice
level are used. The fairness system will still keep the cpu utilisation 'fair'
by then delaying the task that got an excessive amount of CPU time but try to
minimize this by delivering preemption points spot-on.
The average frequency of this extra interrupt is sched_latency / nr_latency.
Which need not be higher than 1/HZ, its just that the distribution within the
sched_latency period is important.

Introduce a new rlimit that allows the user to set a runtime timeout on
real-time tasks their slice. Once this limit is exceeded the task will receive
SIGXCPU.
So it measures runtime since the last sleep.

Move the task_struct members specific to rt scheduling together.
A future optimization could be to put sched_entity and sched_rt_entity

The overload set/clears were originally idempotent when this logic was first
implemented. But that is no longer true due to the addition of the atomic
counter and this logic was never updated to work properly with that change.
So only adjust the overload state if it is actually changing to avoid
getting out of sync.

Dmitry Adamushko found that the current implementation of the RT
balancing code left out changes to the sched_setscheduler and
rt_mutex_setprio.
This patch addresses this issue by adding methods to the schedule classes
to handle being switched out of (switched_from) and being switched into
(switched_to) a sched_class. Also a method for changing of priorities
is also added (prio_changed).
This patch also removes some duplicate logic between rt_mutex_setprio and
sched_setscheduler.

To make the main sched.c code more agnostic to the schedule classes.
Instead of having specific hooks in the schedule code for the RT class
balancing. They are replaced with a pre_schedule, post_schedule
and task_wake_up methods. These methods may be used by any of the classes
but currently, only the sched_rt class implements them.

We move the rt-overload data as the first global to per-domain
reclassification. This limits the scope of overload related cache-line
bouncing to stay with a specified partition instead of affecting all
cpus in the system.
Finally, we limit the scope of find_lowest_cpu searches to the domain
instead of the entire system. Note that we would always respect domain
boundaries even without this patch, but we first would scan potentially
all cpus before whittling the list down. Now we can avoid looking at
RQs that are out of scope, again reducing cache-line hits.
Note: In some cases, task->cpus_allowed will effectively reduce our search
to within our domain. However, I believe there are cases where the
cpus_allowed mask may be all ones and therefore we err on the side of
caution. If it can be optimized later, so be it.

This patch removes several cpumask operations by keeping track
of the first of the CPUS that is of the lowest priority. When
the search for the lowest priority runqueue is completed, all
the bits up to the first CPU with the lowest priority runqueue
is cleared.
