Add the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as base
Import the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as OPNFV kvm base. It's from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git linux-4.1.y-rt and the base is: commit 0917f823c59692d751951bf5ea699a2d1e2f26a2 Author: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de> Date: Sat Jul 25 12:13:34 2015 +0200 Prepare v4.1.3-rt3 Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de> We lose all the git history this way and it's not good. We should apply another opnfv project repo in future. Change-Id: I87543d81c9df70d99c5001fbdf646b202c19f423 Signed-off-by: Yunhong Jiang <yunhong.jiang@intel.com>

+NAME
+----
+perf-sched - Tool to trace/measure scheduler properties (latencies)
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'perf sched' {record|latency|map|replay|script}
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+There are five variants of perf sched:
+
+ 'perf sched record <command>' to record the scheduling events
+ of an arbitrary workload.
+
+ 'perf sched latency' to report the per task scheduling latencies
+ and other scheduling properties of the workload.
+
+ 'perf sched script' to see a detailed trace of the workload that
+ was recorded (aliased to 'perf script' for now).
+
+ 'perf sched replay' to simulate the workload that was recorded
+ via perf sched record. (this is done by starting up mockup threads
+ that mimic the workload based on the events in the trace. These
+ threads can then replay the timings (CPU runtime and sleep patterns)
+ of the workload as it occurred when it was recorded - and can repeat
+ it a number of times, measuring its performance.)
+
+ 'perf sched map' to print a textual context-switching outline of
+ workload captured via perf sched record. Columns stand for
+ individual CPUs, and the two-letter shortcuts stand for tasks that
+ are running on a CPU. A '*' denotes the CPU that had the event, and
+ a dot signals an idle CPU.
+
