Subject: [PATCH -tip 23/32] sched: Add a per-thread core scheduling interface
Add a per-thread core scheduling interface which allows a thread to share a
core with another thread, or have a core exclusively for itself.
ChromeOS uses core-scheduling to securely enable hyperthreading. This cuts
down the keypress latency in Google docs from 150ms to 50ms while improving
the camera streaming frame rate by ~3%.
