This patch creates a new function __copy_skb_header to merge the common
code between copy_skb_header and skb_clone. Having two functions which
are largely the same is a source of wasted labour as well as confusion.
In fact the tc_verd stuff is almost certainly a bug since it's treated
differently in skb_clone compared to the callers of copy_skb_header
(skb_copy/pskb_copy/skb_copy_expand).
I've kept that difference in tact with a comment added asking for
clarification.

make sure sync wakeups preempt too - the scheduler will not
overschedule as we've got various throttles against that.
As a result, sync wakeups can be used more widely in the kernel
(to signal wakeup affinity between tasks), and no arbitrary
latencies will be introduced either.

modify account_system_time() to add cputime to cpustat->guest if we are
running a VCPU. We add this cputime to cpustat->user instead of
cpustat->system because this part of KVM code is in fact user code
although it is executed in the kernel. We duplicate VCPU time between
guest and user to allow an unmodified "top(1)" to display correct value.
A modified "top(1)" is able to display good cpu user time and cpu guest
time by subtracting cpu guest time from cpu user time. Update "gtime" in
task_struct accordingly.

Prevent wakeup over-scheduling. Once a task has been preempted by a
task of the same or lower priority, it becomes ineligible for repeated
preemption by same until it has been ticked, or slept. Instead, the
task is marked for preemption at the next tick. Tasks of higher
priority still preempt immediately.

Add tunables in sysfs to modify a user's cpu share.
A directory is created in sysfs for each new user in the system.
/sys/kernel/uids/<uid>/cpu_share
Reading this file returns the cpu shares granted for the user.
Writing into this file modifies the cpu share for the user. Only an
administrator is allowed to modify a user's cpu share.
Ex:
# cd /sys/kernel/uids/
# cat 512/cpu_share

# echo 2048 > 512/cpu_share
# cat 512/cpu_share
