linux-4.19-ck1, MuQSS version 0.180 for linux-4.19

Announcing a new -ck release, 4.19-ck1  with the latest version of the Multiple Queue Skiplist Scheduler, version 0.180. These are patches designed to improve system responsiveness and interactivity with specific emphasis on the desktop, but configurable for any workload.

In addition to a resync from 4.18-ck1, there are a number of minor accounting fixes, and I've since dropped BFQ being enabled by default. I've been less than impressed with its latency over the last two kernel releases, and recommend people use another I/O scheduler.

EDIT: Apparently patch 0008 has one hunk that is out of place. It still should work fine even if this fails to apply. I don't know why git was happy with that part of the patch...

Enjoy!

EDIT: It turns out it won't build with full dynticks enabled. I've committed a small change to the respective git trees for anyone who wants to configure it that way (I'd usually recommend against it.)

This is mostly just a resync with 4.15 MuQSS and -ck patches. The only significant difference is that the default config for threaded IRQs is now set to disabled as this seems to be associated with boot failures when used in concert with runqueue sharing. I still include the patch in -ck that stops build warnings from making the kernel build fail, and I've added a single patch to aid building an evil out-of-kernel driver that many of us use.


Enjoy!
