With struct sched_entity before the other sched entities, its alignment
won't induce a struct hole. This saves 64 bytes in defconfig task_struct:
Before:
...
unsigned int rt_priority; /* 120 4 */
/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */
/* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) --- */
const struct sched_class * sched_class; /* 128 8 */
/* XXX 56 bytes hole, try to pack */
/* --- cacheline 3 boundary (192 bytes) --- */
struct sched_entity se __attribute__((__aligned__(64))); /* 192 448 */
/* --- cacheline 10 boundary (640 bytes) --- */
struct sched_rt_entity rt; /* 640 48 */
struct sched_dl_entity dl __attribute__((__aligned__(8))); /* 688 224 */
/* --- cacheline 14 boundary (896 bytes) was 16 bytes ago --- */
After:
...
unsigned int rt_priority; /* 120 4 */
/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */
/* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) --- */
struct sched_entity se __attribute__((__aligned__(64))); /* 128 448 */
/* --- cacheline 9 boundary (576 bytes) --- */
struct sched_rt_entity rt; /* 576 48 */
struct sched_dl_entity dl __attribute__((__aligned__(8))); /* 624 224 */
/* --- cacheline 13 boundary (832 bytes) was 16 bytes ago --- */
Summary diff:
- /* size: 7040, cachelines: 110, members: 188 */
+ /* size: 6976, cachelines: 109, members: 188 */

Hurpmf... if only we had like perf driven pahole output :/
Picked it up, we'll see what if anything hurts.

Normally I wouldn't even make suggestions in task_struct given the high
variability due to CONFIG options, but this case was pretty universal.

Thanks! *fingers crossed*
