Subject: [PATCH 0/3] sched/fair: Reduce contention on tg's load_avg

This patch series tries to reduce contention on task_group's load_avg
to improve system performance. It also tries to optimize the use of
idle_cpu() call in update_sg_lb_stats().

Waiman Long (3):
  sched/fair: Avoid redundant idle_cpu() call in update_sg_lb_stats()
  sched/fair: Move hot load_avg into its own cacheline
  sched/fair: Use different cachelines for readers and writers of
    load_avg
