Chris Redpath 1d00c33d8b ANDROID: sched: fair: Bypass energy-aware wakeup for prefer-idle tasks
Use the upstream slow path to find an idle cpu for prefer-idle tasks.
This slow-path is actually faster than the EAS path we are currently
going through (compute_energy()) which is really slow.

No performance degradation is seen with this and it reduces the delta
quite a bit between upstream and out of tree code.

It's not clear yet if using the mainline slow path task placement when
a task has the schedtune attribute prefer_idle=1 is the right thing to
do for products. Put the option to disable this behind a sched feature
so we can try out both options.

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 Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
