00bf7bfc2e sched: fix: move the CPU check into ->task_new_fair()
noticed by Peter Zijlstra:

fix: move the CPU check into ->task_new_fair(), this way we
can call place_entity() and get child ->vruntime right at
initial wakeup time.

(without this there can be large latencies)

a4ec24b48d sched: tidy up SCHED_RR
- make timeslices of SCHED_RR tasks constant and not
dependent on task's static_prio [1] ;
- remove obsolete code (timeslice related bits);
- make sched_rr_get_interval() return something more
meaningful [2] for SCHED_OTHER tasks.

[1] according to the following link, it's not compliant with SUSv3
(not sure though, what is the reference for us :-)
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/3/7/656

[2] the interval is dynamic and can be depicted as follows "should a
task be one of the runnable tasks at this particular moment, it would
expect to run for this interval of time before being re-scheduled by the
scheduler tick".
(i.e. it's more precise if a task is runnable at the moment)

yeah, this seems to require task_rq_lock/unlock() but this is not a hot
path.

results:

(SCHED_FIFO)

dimm@earth:~/storage/prog$ sudo chrt -f 10 ./rr_interval 
time_slice: 0 : 0

(SCHED_RR)

dimm@earth:~/storage/prog$ sudo chrt 10 ./rr_interval 
time_slice: 0 : 99984800

(SCHED_NORMAL)

dimm@earth:~/storage/prog$ ./rr_interval 
time_slice: 0 : 19996960

(SCHED_NORMAL + a cpu_hog of similar 'weight' on the same CPU --- so should be a half of the previous result)

08ec3df510 sched: fix __pick_next_entity()
The thing is that __pick_next_entity() must never be called when
first_fair(cfs_rq) == NULL. It wouldn't be a problem, should 'run_node'
be the very first field of 'struct sched_entity' (and it's the second).

The 'nr_running != 0' check is _not_ enough, due to the fact that
'current' is not within the tree. Generic paths are ok (e.g. schedule()
as put_prev_task() is called previously)... I'm more worried about e.g.
migration_call() -> CPU_DEAD_FROZEN -> migrate_dead_tasks()... if
'current' == rq->idle, no problems.. if it's one of the SCHED_NORMAL
tasks (or imagine, some other use-cases in the future -- i.e. we should
not make outer world dependent on internal details of sched_fair class)
-- it may be "Houston, we've got a problem" case.

it's +16 bytes to the ".text". Another variant is to make 'run_node' the
first data member of 'struct sched_entity' but an additional check (se !
= NULL) is still needed in pick_next_entity().

b9fa3df33f sched: group scheduler, fix latency
There is a possibility that because of task of a group moving from one
cpu to another, it may gain more cpu time that desired. See 
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119073197730334 for details.

This is an attempt to fix that problem. Basically it simulates dequeue
of higher level entities as if they are going to sleep. Similarly it
simulate wakeup of higher level entities as if they are waking up from
sleep.

Enable user-id based fair group scheduling. This is useful for anyone
who wants to test the group scheduler w/o having to enable
CONFIG_CGROUPS.

A separate scheduling group (i.e struct task_grp) is automatically created for 
every new user added to the system. Upon uid change for a task, it is made to 
move to the corresponding scheduling group.

A /proc tunable (/proc/root_user_share) is also provided to tune root
user's quota of cpu bandwidth.

Fix a problem in the 'sched-group' patch for !CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED.

description:

sched_setscheduler()
{
...
if (task_running()) p->sched_class->put_prev_entity();

[ this one sets up cfs_rq->curr to NULL ]

...

if (task_running) p->sched_class->set_curr_task();

[ and this one is a _NOP_ (empty) for !CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED ]

As a result, the task continues to run with cfs_rq->curr == NULL... no 
crashes (due to checks for !NULL in place) but e.g. update_curr() 
effectively becomes a NOP... i.e. runtime statistics for this task is 
not accounted untill it's rescheduled anew.

1595f452f3 clockevents: introduce force broadcast notifier
The 64bit SMP bootup is slightly different to the 32bit one. It enables
the boot CPU local APIC timer before all CPUs are brought up. Some AMD C1E
systems have the C1E feature flag only set in the secondary CPU. Due to
the early enable of the boot CPU local APIC timer the APIC timer is
registered as a fully functional device. When we detect the wreckage during
the bringup of the secondary CPU, we need to force the boot CPU into
broadcast mode. 

Add a new notifier reason and implement the force broadcast in the clock
events layer.

 b) arch/{i386,x86_64}/crypto are merged now
 c) subarch-obj needed changes
 d) cpufeature_64.h should pull "cpufeature_32.h", not <asm/cpufeature_32.h>
    since it can be included from asm-um/cpufeature.h
 e) in case of uml-i386 we need CONFIG_X86_32 for make and gcc, but not
    for Kconfig
 f) sysctl.c shouldn't do vdso_enabled for uml-i386 (actually, that one
    should be registered from corresponding arch/*/kernel/*, with ifdef
    going away; that's a separate patch, though).

With that and with Stephen's patch ("[PATCH net-2.6] uml: hard_header fix")

94c61c0aef lockdep: Avoid /proc/lockdep & lock_stat infinite output
Both /proc/lockdep and /proc/lock_stat output may loop infinitely.

When a read() requests an amount of data smaller than the amount of data
that the seq_file's foo_show() outputs, the output starts looping and
outputs the "stuck" element's data infinitely.  There may be multiple
sequential calls to foo_start(), foo_next()/foo_show(), and foo_stop()
for a single open with sequential read of the file.  The _start() does not
have to start with the 0th element and _show() might be called multiple
times in a row for the same element for a given open/read of the seq_file.

Also header output should not be happening in _start().  All output should
be in _show(), which SEQ_START_TOKEN is meant to help.  Having output in
_start() may also negatively impact seq_file's seq_read() and traverse()
accounting.

cd40b7d398 [NET]: make netlink user -> kernel interface synchronious
This patch make processing netlink user -> kernel messages synchronious.
This change was inspired by the talk with Alexey Kuznetsov about current
netlink messages processing. He says that he was badly wrong when introduced 
asynchronious user -> kernel communication.

The call netlink_unicast is the only path to send message to the kernel
netlink socket. But, unfortunately, it is also used to send data to the
user.

Before this change the user message has been attached to the socket queue
and sk->sk_data_ready was called. The process has been blocked until all
pending messages were processed. The bad thing is that this processing
may occur in the arbitrary process context.

This patch changes nlk->data_ready callback to get 1 skb and force packet
processing right in the netlink_unicast.

Kernel -> user path in netlink_unicast remains untouched.

EINTR processing for in netlink_run_queue was changed. It forces rtnl_lock
drop, but the process remains in the cycle until the message will be fully
processed. So, there is no need to use this kludges now.

9dd776b6d7 [NET]: Add network namespace clone & unshare support.
This patch allows you to create a new network namespace
using sys_clone, or sys_unshare.

As the network namespace is still experimental and under development
clone and unshare support is only made available when CONFIG_NET_NS is
selected at compile time.

As this patch introduces network namespace support into code paths
that exist when the CONFIG_NET is not selected there are a few
additions made to net_namespace.h to allow a few more functions
to be used when the networking stack is not compiled in.

b4b510290b [NET]: Support multiple network namespaces with netlink
Each netlink socket will live in exactly one network namespace,
this includes the controlling kernel sockets.

This patch updates all of the existing netlink protocols
to only support the initial network namespace.  Request
by clients in other namespaces will get -ECONREFUSED.
As they would if the kernel did not have the support for
that netlink protocol compiled in.

As each netlink protocol is updated to be multiple network
namespace safe it can register multiple kernel sockets
to acquire a presence in the rest of the network namespaces.

The implementation in af_netlink is a simple filter implementation
at hash table insertion and hash table look up time.

    CPUIDLE: handle BM detection inside the ACPI Processor driver

    Update the ACPI processor driver to detect BM activity and
    limit state entry depth internally, rather than exposing such
    requirements to CPUIDLE.  As a result, CPUIDLE can drop this
    ACPI-specific interface and become more platform independent.  BM
    activity is now handled much more aggressively than it was in the
    original implementation, so some testing coverage may be needed to
    verify that this doesn't introduce any DMA buffer under-run issues.

    cpuidle: re-write

    Some portions have been rewritten to make the code cleaner and lighter
    weight.  The following is a list of changes:

    1.) the state name is now included in the sysfs interface
    2.) detection, hotplug, and available state modifications are handled by
    CPUIDLE drivers directly
    3.) the CPUIDLE idle handler is only ever installed when at least one
    cpuidle_device is enabled and ready
    4.) the menu governor BM code no longer overflows
    5.) the sysfs attributes are now printed as unsigned integers, avoiding
    negative values
    6.) a variety of other small cleanups

    Also, Idle drivers are no longer swappable during runtime through the
    CPUIDLE sysfs inteface.  On i386 and x86_64 most idle handlers (e.g.
    poll, mwait, halt, etc.) don't benefit from an infrastructure that
    supports multiple states, so I think using a more general case idle
    handler selection mechanism would be cleaner.

    cpuidle: add the 'menu' governor

    Here is my first take at implementing an idle PM governor that takes
    full advantage of NO_HZ.  I call it the 'menu' governor because it
    considers the full list of idle states before each entry.

    I've kept the implementation fairly simple.  It attempts to guess the
    next residency time and then chooses a state that would meet at least
    the break-even point between power savings and entry cost.  To this end,
    it selects the deepest idle state that satisfies the following
    constraints:
         1. If the idle time elapsed since bus master activity was detected
            is below a threshold (currently 20 ms), then limit the selection
            to C2-type or above.
         2. Do not choose a state with a break-even residency that exceeds
            the expected time remaining until the next timer interrupt.
         3. Do not choose a state with a break-even residency that exceeds
            the elapsed time between the last pair of break events,
            excluding timer interrupts.

    This governor has an advantage over "ladder" governor because it
    proactively checks how much time remains until the next timer interrupt
    using the tick infrastructure.  Also, it handles device interrupt
    activity more intelligently by not including timer interrupts in break
    event calculations.  Finally, it doesn't make policy decisions using the
    number of state entries, which can have variable residency times (NO_HZ
    makes these potentially very large), and instead only considers sleep
    time deltas.

    The menu governor can be selected during runtime using the cpuidle sysfs
    interface like so:
    "echo "menu" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle/current_governor"

    cpuidle take2: Core cpuidle infrastructure

    Announcing 'cpuidle', a new CPU power management infrastructure to manage
    idle CPUs in a clean and efficient manner.
    cpuidle separates out the drivers that can provide support for multiple types
    of idle states and policy governors that decide on what idle state to use
    at run time.
    A cpuidle driver can support multiple idle states based on parameters like
    varying power consumption, wakeup latency, etc (ACPI C-states for example).
    A cpuidle governor can be usage model specific (laptop, server,
    laptop on battery etc).
    Main advantage of the infrastructure being, it allows independent development
    of drivers and governors and allows for better CPU power management.

    A huge thanks to Adam Belay and Shaohua Li who were part of this mini-project
    since its beginning and are greatly responsible for this patchset.

    This patch:

    Core cpuidle infrastructure.
    Introduces a new abstraction layer for cpuidle:
    * which manages drivers that can support multiple idles states. Drivers
      can be generic or particular to specific hardware/platform
    * allows pluging in multiple policy governors that can take idle state policy
      decision
    * The core also has a set of sysfs interfaces with which administrato can know
      about supported drivers and governors and switch them at run time.

291041e935 fix bogus reporting of signals by audit
Async signals should not be reported as sent by current in audit log.  As
it is, we call audit_signal_info() too early in check_kill_permission().
Note that check_kill_permission() has that test already - it needs to know
if it should apply current-based permission checks.  So the solution is to
move the call of audit_signal_info() between those.

Bogosity in question is easily reproduced - add a rule watching for e.g.
kill(2) from specific process (so that audit_signal_info() would not
short-circuit to nothing), say load_policy, watch the bogus OBJ_PID entry
in audit logs claiming that write(2) on selinuxfs file issued by
load_policy(8) had somehow managed to send a signal to syslogd...

9f96cb1e8b robust futex thread exit race
Calling handle_futex_death in exit_robust_list for the different robust
mutexes of a thread basically frees the mutex.  Another thread might grab
the lock immediately which updates the next pointer of the mutex.
fetch_robust_entry over the next pointer might therefore branch into the
robust mutex list of a different thread.  This can cause two problems: 1)
some mutexes held by the dead thread are not getting freed and 2) some
mutexs held by a different thread are freed.

The next point need to be read before calling handle_futex_death.

b7e113dc9d clockevents: remove the suspend/resume workaround^Wthinko
In a desparate attempt to fix the suspend/resume problem on Andrews
VAIO I added a workaround which enforced the broadcast of the oneshot
timer on resume. This was actually resolving the problem on the VAIO
but was just a stupid workaround, which was not tackling the root
cause: the assignement of lower idle C-States in the ACPI processor_idle
code. The cpuidle patches, which utilize the dynamic tick feature and
go faster into deeper C-states exposed the problem again. The correct
solution is the previous patch, which prevents lower C-states across
the suspend/resume.

Remove the enforcement code, including the conditional broadcast timer
arming, which helped to pamper over the real problem for quite a time.
The oneshot broadcast flag for the cpu, which runs the resume code can
never be set at the time when this code is executed. It only gets set,
when the CPU is entering a lower idle C-State.

b8fceee17a signalfd simplification
This simplifies signalfd code, by avoiding it to remain attached to the
sighand during its lifetime.

In this way, the signalfd remain attached to the sighand only during
poll(2) (and select and epoll) and read(2).  This also allows to remove
all the custom "tsk == current" checks in kernel/signal.c, since
dequeue_signal() will only be called by "current".

I think this is also what Ben was suggesting time ago.

The external effect of this, is that a thread can extract only its own
private signals and the group ones.  I think this is an acceptable
behaviour, in that those are the signals the thread would be able to
fetch w/out signalfd.

9c95e7319b sched: fix invalid sched_class use
When using rt_mutex, a NULL pointer dereference is occurred at
enqueue_task_rt. Here is a scenario;
1) there are two threads, the thread A is fair_sched_class and
   thread B is rt_sched_class.
2) Thread A is boosted up to rt_sched_class, because the thread A
   has a rt_mutex lock and the thread B is waiting the lock.
3) At this time, when thread A create a new thread C, the thread
   C has a rt_sched_class.
4) When doing wake_up_new_task() for the thread C, the priority
   of the thread C is out of the RT priority range, because the
   normal priority of thread A is not the RT priority. It makes
   data corruption by overflowing the rt_prio_array.
The new thread C should be fair_sched_class.

The new thread should be valid scheduler class before queuing.
This patch fixes to set the suitable scheduler class.

28f300d236 Fix user namespace exiting OOPs
It turned out, that the user namespace is released during the do_exit() in
exit_task_namespaces(), but the struct user_struct is released only during the
put_task_struct(), i.e.  MUCH later.

On debug kernels with poisoned slabs this will cause the oops in
uid_hash_remove() because the head of the chain, which resides inside the
struct user_namespace, will be already freed and poisoned.

Since the uid hash itself is required only when someone can search it, i.e.
when the namespace is alive, we can safely unhash all the user_struct-s from
it during the namespace exiting.  The subsequent free_uid() will complete the
user_struct destruction.

For example simple program

   #include <sched.h>

   char stack[2 * 1024 * 1024];

   int f(void *foo)
   {
   	return 0;
   }

   int main(void)
   {
   	clone(f, stack + 1 * 1024 * 1024, 0x10000000, 0);
   	return 0;
   }

run on kernel with CONFIG_USER_NS turned on will oops the
kernel immediately.

This was spotted during OpenVZ kernel testing.

5e41d0d60a clockevents: prevent stale tick update on offline cpu
Taking a cpu offline removes the cpu from the online mask before the
CPU_DEAD notification is done. The clock events layer does the cleanup
of the dead CPU from the CPU_DEAD notifier chain. tick_do_timer_cpu is
used to avoid xtime lock contention by assigning the task of jiffies
xtime updates to one CPU. If a CPU is taken offline, then this
assignment becomes stale. This went unnoticed because most of the time
the offline CPU went dead before the online CPU reached __cpu_die(),
where the CPU_DEAD state is checked. In the case that the offline CPU did
not reach the DEAD state before we reach __cpu_die(), the code in there
goes to sleep for 100ms. Due to the stale time update assignment, the
system is stuck forever.

Take the assignment away when a cpu is not longer in the cpu_online_mask.
We do this in the last call to tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() when the offline
CPU is on the way to the final play_dead() idle entry.

6a669ee8a7 timekeeping: Prevent time going backwards on resume
Timekeeping resume adjusts xtime by adding the slept time in seconds and
resets the reference value of the clock source (clock->cycle_last).
clock->cycle last is used to calculate the delta between the last xtime
update and the readout of the clock source in __get_nsec_offset(). xtime
plus the offset is the current time. The resume code ignores the delta
which had already elapsed between the last xtime update and the actual
time of suspend. If the suspend time is short, then we can see time
going backwards on resume.

Suspend:
offs_s = clock->read() - clock->cycle_last;
now = xtime + offs_s;
timekeeping_suspend_time = read_rtc();

Resume:
sleep_time = read_rtc() - timekeeping_suspend_time;
xtime.tv_sec += sleep_time;
clock->cycle_last = clock->read();
offs_r = clock->read() - clock->cycle_last;
now = xtime + offs_r;

if sleep_time_seconds == 0 and offs_r < offs_s, then time goes
backwards.

Fix this by storing the offset from the last xtime update and add it to
xtime during resume, when we reset clock->cycle_last:

sleep_time = read_rtc() - timekeeping_suspend_time;
xtime.tv_sec += sleep_time;
xtime += offs_s;	/* Fixup xtime offset at suspend time */
clock->cycle_last = clock->read();
offs_r = clock->read() - clock->cycle_last;
now = xtime + offs_r;

Thanks to Marcelo for tracking this down on the OLPC and providing the
necessary details to analyze the root cause.

3210f0ecdb Restore call_usermodehelper_pipe() behaviour
The semantics of call_usermodehelper_pipe() used to be that it would fork
the helper, and wait for the kernel thread to be started.  This was
implemented by setting sub_info.wait to 0 (implicitly), and doing a
wait_for_completion().

As part of the cleanup done in 0ab4dc9227,
call_usermodehelper_pipe() was changed to pass 1 as the value for wait to
call_usermodehelper_exec().

This is equivalent to setting sub_info.wait to 1, which is a change from
the previous behaviour.  Using 1 instead of 0 causes
__call_usermodehelper() to start the kernel thread running
wait_for_helper(), rather than directly calling ____call_usermodehelper().

The end result is that the calling kernel code blocks until the user mode
helper finishes.  As the helper is expecting input on stdin, and now no one
is writing anything, everything locks up (observed in do_coredump).

The fix is to change the 1 to UMH_WAIT_EXEC (aka 0), indicating that we
want to wait for the kernel thread to be started, but not for the helper to
finish.

179c85ea53 futex_compat: fix list traversal bugs
The futex list traversal on the compat side appears to have
a bug.

It's loop termination condition compares:

        while (compat_ptr(uentry) != &head->list)

But that can't be right because "uentry" has the special
"pi" indicator bit still potentially set at bit 0.  This
is cleared by fetch_robust_entry() into the "entry"
return value.

What this seems to mean is that the list won't terminate
when list iteration gets back to the the head.  And we'll
also process the list head like a normal entry, which could
cause all kinds of problems.

So we should check for equality with "entry".  That pointer
is of the non-compat type so we have to do a little casting
to keep the compiler and sparse happy.

The same problem can in theory occur with the 'pending'
variable, although that has not been reported from users
so far.

Based on the original patch from David Miller.

7d94143291 Fix spurious syscall tracing after PTRACE_DETACH + PTRACE_ATTACH
When PTRACE_SYSCALL was used and then PTRACE_DETACH is used, the
TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE flag is left set on the formerly-traced task.  This
means that when a new tracer comes along and does PTRACE_ATTACH, it's
possible he gets a syscall tracing stop even though he's never used
PTRACE_SYSCALL.  This happens if the task was in the middle of a system
call when the second PTRACE_ATTACH was done.  The symptom is an
unexpected SIGTRAP when the tracer thinks that only SIGSTOP should have
been provoked by his ptrace calls so far.

A few machines already fixed this in ptrace_disable (i386, ia64, m68k).
But all other machines do not, and still have this bug.  On x86_64, this
constitutes a regression in IA32 compatibility support.

Since all machines now use TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE for this, I put the
clearing of TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE in the generic ptrace_detach code rather
than adding it to every other machine's ptrace_disable.

60187d2708 sigqueue_free: fix the race with collect_signal()
Spotted by taoyue <yue.tao@windriver.com> and Jeremy Katz <jeremy.katz@windriver.com>.

collect_signal:				sigqueue_free:

	list_del_init(&first->list);
						if (!list_empty(&q->list)) {
							// not taken
						}
						q->flags &= ~SIGQUEUE_PREALLOC;

	__sigqueue_free(first);			__sigqueue_free(q);

Now, __sigqueue_free() is called twice on the same "struct sigqueue" with the
obviously bad implications.

In particular, this double free breaks the array_cache->avail logic, so the
same sigqueue could be "allocated" twice, and the bug can manifest itself via
the "impossible" BUG_ON(!SIGQUEUE_PREALLOC) in sigqueue_free/send_sigqueue.

Hopefully this can explain these mysterious bug-reports, see

This shows that a driver's irq handler was running both in hard interrupt
and process contexts with irqs enabled. The latter was done during
free_irq() call and was possible only with CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ enabled.
This was fixed by another patch.

But similar problem is possible with request_irq(): any locks taken from
irq handler could be vulnerable - especially with soft interrupts. This
patch fixes it by disabling local interrupts during handler's run. (It
seems, disabling softirqs should be enough, but it needs more checking
on possible races or other special cases).

f6cf891c4d sched: make the scheduler converge to the ideal latency
de-HZ-ification of the granularity defaults unearthed a pre-existing
property of CFS: while it correctly converges to the granularity goal,
it does not prevent run-time fluctuations in the range of
[-gran ... 0 ... +gran].

With the increase of the granularity due to the removal of HZ
dependencies, this becomes visible in chew-max output (with 5 tasks
running):

 out:  28 . 27. 32 | flu:  0 .  0 | ran:    9 .   13 | per:   37 .   40
 out:  27 . 27. 32 | flu:  0 .  0 | ran:   17 .   13 | per:   44 .   40
 out:  27 . 27. 32 | flu:  0 .  0 | ran:    9 .   13 | per:   36 .   40
 out:  29 . 27. 32 | flu:  2 .  0 | ran:   17 .   13 | per:   46 .   40
 out:  28 . 27. 32 | flu:  0 .  0 | ran:    9 .   13 | per:   37 .   40
 out:  29 . 27. 32 | flu:  0 .  0 | ran:   18 .   13 | per:   47 .   40
 out:  28 . 27. 32 | flu:  0 .  0 | ran:    9 .   13 | per:   37 .   40

average slice is the ideal 13 msecs and the period is picture-perfect 40
msecs. But the 'ran' field fluctuates around 13.33 msecs and there's no
mechanism in CFS to keep that from happening: it's a perfectly valid
solution that CFS finds.

to fix this we add a granularity/preemption rule that knows about
the "target latency", which makes tasks that run longer than the ideal
latency run a bit less. The simplest approach is to simply decrease the
preemption granularity when a task overruns its ideal latency. For this
we have to track how much the task executed since its last preemption.

( this adds a new field to task_struct, but we can eliminate that
  overhead in 2.6.24 by putting all the scheduler timestamps into an
  anonymous union. )

with this change in place, chew-max output is fluctuation-less all
around:

 out:  28 . 27. 39 | flu:  0 .  2 | ran:   13 .   13 | per:   41 .   40
 out:  28 . 27. 39 | flu:  0 .  2 | ran:   13 .   13 | per:   41 .   40

What is happening is that sleeper_bonus is never consumed, and only
rarely goes below runtime_limit, so for the most part, Amarok isn't
getting any bonus at all.  We're keeping sleeper_bonus right at
runtime_limit (sched_latency == sched_runtime_limit == 40ms) forever, ie
we don't consume if we're lower that that, and don't add if we're above
it.  One Amarok thread waking (or anybody else) will push us past the
threshold, so the next thread waking gets nada, but will reap pain from
the previous thread waking until we drop back to runtime_limit.  It
looks to me like under load, some random task gets a bonus, and
everybody else pays, whether deserving or not.

This diff fixed the regression for me at any load rate.

218050855e sched: adaptive scheduler granularity
Instead of specifying the preemption granularity, specify the wanted
latency. By fixing the granlarity to a constany the wakeup latency
it a function of the number of running tasks on the rq.

Invert this relation.

sysctl_sched_granularity becomes a minimum for the dynamic granularity
computed from the new sysctl_sched_latency.

Then use this latency to do more intelligent granularity decisions: if
there are fewer tasks running then we can schedule coarser. This helps
performance while still always keeping the latency target.

f8700df7c4 sched: fix broken SMT/MC optimizations
On a four package system with HT - HT load balancing optimizations were
broken.  For example, if two tasks end up running on two logical threads
of one of the packages, scheduler is not able to pull one of the tasks
to a completely idle package.

In this scenario, for nice-0 tasks, imbalance calculated by scheduler
will be 512 and find_busiest_queue() will return 0 (as each cpu's load
is 1024 > imbalance and has only one task running).

Similarly MC scheduler optimizations also get fixed with this patch.

construct a more or less wall-clock time out of sched_clock(), by
using ACPI-idle's existing knowledge about how much time we spent
idling. This allows the rq clock to work around TSC-stops-in-C2,
TSC-gets-corrupted-in-C3 type of problems.

( Besides the scheduler's statistics this also benefits blktrace and
  printk-timestamps as well. )

Furthermore, the precise before-C2/C3-sleep and after-C2/C3-wakeup
callbacks allow the scheduler to get out the most of the period where
the CPU has a reliable TSC. This results in slightly more precise
task statistics.

dequeue_signal:

	if (__SI_TIMER) {
		spin_unlock(&tsk->sighand->siglock);
		do_schedule_next_timer(info);
		spin_lock(&tsk->sighand->siglock);
	}

Unless tsk == curent, this is absolutely unsafe: nothing prevents tsk from
exiting. If signalfd was passed to another process, do_schedule_next_timer()
is just wrong.

Add yet another "tsk == current" check into dequeue_signal().

This patch fixes an oopsable bug, but breaks the scheduling of posix timers
if the shared __SI_TIMER signal was fetched via signalfd attached to another
sub-thread. Mostly fixed by the next patch.

We already passed ->it_id to the caller, another thread can delete this timer

As a minimal fix, move this code under ->siglock, sys_timer_delete() takes it
too before calling release_posix_timer().  A proper serialization would be to
take ->it_lock, we add a partly initialized timer on posix_timers_id, not

timer_delete does:

timer->it_process is checked in lock_timer() to prevent access to a
timer, which is on the way to be deleted, but the check happens after
idr_lock is dropped. This allows release_posix_timer() to delete the
timer before the lock code can check the timer:

  CPU 0				CPU 1

  lock_timer();
  timer->it_process = NULL;
  unlock_timer();
				lock_timer()
					spin_lock(idr_lock);
					timer = idr_find();
					spin_lock(timer->lock);

  release_posix_timer();
	spin_lock(idr_lock);
	idr_remove(timer);

cd5bfea278 fix compilation with gcc 4.2
gcc-4.2 is a lot more picky about its symbol handling.  EXPORT_SYMBOL no
longer works on symbols that are undefined or defined with static scope.

For example, with CONFIG_PROFILE off, I see:

  kernel/profile.c:206: error: __ksymtab_profile_event_unregister causes a section type conflict
  kernel/profile.c:205: error: __ksymtab_profile_event_register causes a section type conflict

This patch moves the EXPORTs inside the #ifdef CONFIG_PROFILE, so we
only try to export symbols that are defined.

Also, in kernel/kprobes.c there's an EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() for
jprobes_return, which if CONFIG_JPROBES is undefined is a static
inline and gives the same error.

And in drivers/acpi/resources/rsxface.c, there's an
ACPI_EXPORT_SYMBOPL() for a static symbol. If it's static, it's not
accessible from outside the compilation unit, so should bot be exported.

These three changes allow building a zx1_defconfig kernel with gcc 4.2
on IA64.

On some systems some PFNs reported by the early initialization code as
'nosave' may be invalid.  If we try to set the corresponding bits in the
hibernation bitmap, BUG_ON() in memory_bm_find_bit() will be triggered and
the system won't be able to boot (cf.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=296242).

Prevent this from happening by verifying if the 'nosave' PFNs are valid in
mark_nosave_pages().

improve the rq-clock overflow logic: limit the absolute rq->clock
delta since the last scheduler tick, instead of limiting the delta
itself.

an incorrectly calibrated cpu_khz confusing sched_clock().

88ffc35059 Revert "genirq: temporary fix for level-triggered IRQ resend"
This reverts commit 0fc4969b86.  It was
always meant to be temporary, but it's generating more useless noise
than anything else, and we probably should never have done it in the
generic kernel (only had the people involved test it on their own).

a4ac01c36e sched: fix bug in balance_tasks()
There are two problems with balance_tasks() and how it used:

1. The variables best_prio and best_prio_seen (inherited from the old
move_tasks()) were only required to handle problems caused by the
active/expired arrays, the order in which they were processed and the
possibility that the task with the highest priority could be on either.
  These issues are no longer present and the extra overhead associated
with their use is unnecessary (and possibly wrong).

2. In the absence of CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED being set, the same
this_best_prio variable needs to be used by all scheduling classes or
there is a risk of moving too much load.  E.g. if the highest priority
task on this at the beginning is a fairly low priority task and the rt
class migrates a task (during its turn) then that moved task becomes the
new highest priority task on this_rq but when the sched_fair class
initializes its copy of this_best_prio it will get the priority of the
original highest priority task as, due to the run queue locks being
held, the reschedule triggered by pull_task() will not have taken place.
  This could result in inappropriate overriding of skip_for_load and
excessive load being moved.

The attached patch addresses these problems by deleting all reference to
best_prio and best_prio_seen and making this_best_prio a reference
parameter to the various functions involved.

load_balance_fair() has also been modified so that this_best_prio is
only reset (in the loop) if CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED is set.  This should
preserve the effect of helping spread groups' higher priority tasks
around the available CPUs while improving system performance when
CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED isn't set.

4301065920 sched: simplify move_tasks()
The move_tasks() function is currently multiplexed with two distinct
capabilities:

1. attempt to move a specified amount of weighted load from one run
queue to another; and
2. attempt to move a specified number of tasks from one run queue to
another.

The first of these capabilities is used in two places, load_balance()
and load_balance_idle(), and in both of these cases the return value of
move_tasks() is used purely to decide if tasks/load were moved and no
notice of the actual number of tasks moved is taken.

The second capability is used in exactly one place,
active_load_balance(), to attempt to move exactly one task and, as
before, the return value is only used as an indicator of success or failure.

This multiplexing of sched_task() was introduced, by me, as part of the
smpnice patches and was motivated by the fact that the alternative, one
function to move specified load and one to move a single task, would
have led to two functions of roughly the same complexity as the old
move_tasks() (or the new balance_tasks()).  However, the new modular
design of the new CFS scheduler allows a simpler solution to be adopted
and this patch addresses that solution by:

1. adding a new function, move_one_task(), to be used by
active_load_balance(); and
2. making move_tasks() a single purpose function that tries to move a
specified weighted load and returns 1 for success and 0 for failure.

One of the consequences of these changes is that neither move_one_task()
or the new move_tasks() care how many tasks sched_class.load_balance()
moves and this enables its interface to be simplified by returning the
amount of load moved as its result and removing the load_moved pointer
from the argument list.  This helps simplify the new move_tasks() and
slightly reduces the amount of work done in each of
sched_class.load_balance()'s implementations.

Further simplification, e.g. changes to balance_tasks(), are possible
but (slightly) complicated by the special needs of load_balance_fair()
so I've left them to a later patch (if this one gets accepted).

NB Since move_tasks() gets called with two run queue locks held even
small reductions in overhead are worthwhile.

this change also reduces code size nicely:

is just to make sure that the load to be moved is big enough to ensure
that exactly one task is moved (if there's one available).  This can be
accomplished by using ULONG_MAX instead and this allows
RTPRIO_TO_LOAD_WEIGHT() to be deleted.

2. This, in turn, allows PRIO_TO_LOAD_WEIGHT() to be deleted.

0fc4969b86 genirq: temporary fix for level-triggered IRQ resend
Marcin Slusarz reported a ne2k-pci "hung network interface" regression.

delayed disable relies on the ability to re-trigger the interrupt in the
case that a real interrupt happens after the software disable was set.
In this case we actually disable the interrupt on the hardware level
_after_ it occurred.

On enable_irq, we need to re-trigger the interrupt. On i386 this relies
on a hardware resend mechanism (send_IPI_self()).

Actually we only need the resend for edge type interrupts. Level type
interrupts come back once enable_irq() re-enables the interrupt line.

I assume that the interrupt in question is level triggered because it is
shared and above the legacy irqs 0-15:

	17:         12   IO-APIC-fasteoi   eth1, eth0

Looking into the IO_APIC code, the resend via send_IPI_self() happens
unconditionally. So the resend is done for level and edge interrupts.
This makes the problem more mysterious.

The code in question lib8390.c does

	disable_irq();
	fiddle_with_the_network_card_hardware()
	enable_irq();

The fiddle_with_the_network_card_hardware() might cause interrupts,
which are cleared in the same code path again,

Marcin found that when he disables the irq line on the hardware level
(removing the delayed disable) the card is kept alive.

So the difference is that we can get a resend on enable_irq, when an
interrupt happens during the time, where we are in the disabled region.

c9b3febc5b Fix a use after free bug in kernel->userspace relay file support
Coverity spotted what looks like a real possible case of using a variable
after it has been freed.  The problem is in
kernel/relay.c::relay_open_buf()

If the code hits "goto free_buf;" it ends up in this code :

  free_buf:
    	relay_destroy_buf(buf);	<--- calls kfree() on 'buf'.
  free_name:
   	kfree(tmpname);
  end:
  	return buf;		<-- use after free of 'buf'.

I read through the callers and they all handle a NULL return from this
function as an error (and hitting the 'free_buf' label only happens on
failure to chan->cb->create_buf_file(), so that looks like a clear error to
me).

The patch simply sets 'buf' to NULL after the call to
relay_destroy_buf(buf); - as far as I can see that should take care of the
problem.

The patch also corrects a reference to a documentation file while
I was at it.

Note from Mathieu: the documentation reference change should have been
done in a separate patch, but I guess no one will really care.

states, such as the ACPI S3 state, and allow the user to choose SUSPEND
and HIBERNATION independently of each other.

Make HOTPLUG_CPU be selected automatically if SUSPEND or HIBERNATION has
been chosen and the kernel is intended for SMP systems.

Also, introduce CONFIG_PM_SLEEP which is automatically selected if
CONFIG_SUSPEND or CONFIG_HIBERNATION is set and use it to select the
code needed for both suspend and hibernation.

The top-level power management headers and the ACPI code related to
suspend and hibernation are modified to use the new definitions (the
changes in drivers/acpi/sleep/main.c are, mostly, moving code to reduce
the number of ifdefs).

There are many other files in which CONFIG_PM can be replaced with
CONFIG_PM_SLEEP or even with CONFIG_SUSPEND, but they can be updated in
the future.

Replace CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND with CONFIG_HIBERNATION to avoid
confusion (among other things, with CONFIG_SUSPEND introduced in the
next patch).

040b3a2df2 audit: fix two bugs in the new execve audit code
copy_from_user() returns the number of bytes not copied, hence 0 is the
expected output.

axi->mm might not be valid anymore when not equal to current->mm, do not
dereference before checking that - thanks to Al for spotting that.
