Subject: [PATCH 0/6] Optimize sched averages computation

I started to optimize __update_load_avg() for flat util hierarchy implementation.
Since it was started, let me finish.

The flat util hierarchy is not in this patchset. I am still pondering whether
we add sched_avg in rq to do it or simply and only update cfs_rq util when we
update the top cfs_rq (Dietmar and Vincent took this approach). I think this
needs some experiments.

Yuyang Du (6):
  sched/fair: Optimize sum computation with a lookup table
  sched/fair: Rename variable names for sched averages
  sched/fair: Change the variable to hold the number of periods to
    32bit integer
  sched/fair: Add __always_inline compiler attribute to
    __accumulate_sum()
  sched/fair: Optimize __update_sched_avg()
