Peter Zijlstra af0c8b2bf6 sched: Split scheduler and execution contexts
Let's define the "scheduling context" as all the scheduler state
in task_struct for the task chosen to run, which we'll call the
donor task, and the "execution context" as all state required to
actually run the task.

Currently both are intertwined in task_struct. We want to
logically split these such that we can use the scheduling
context of the donor task selected to be scheduled, but use
the execution context of a different task to actually be run.

To this purpose, introduce rq->donor field to point to the
task_struct chosen from the runqueue by the scheduler, and will
be used for scheduler state, and preserve rq->curr to indicate
the execution context of the task that will actually be run.

This patch introduces the donor field as a union with curr, so it
doesn't cause the contexts to be split yet, but adds the logic to
handle everything separately.

[add additional comments and update more sched_class code to use
 rq::proxy]
[jstultz: Rebased and resolved minor collisions, reworked to use
 accessors, tweaked update_curr_common to use rq_proxy fixing rt
 scheduling issues]

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
