When a task is taken out of the fair class we must ensure the vruntime
is properly normalized because when we put it back in it will assume
to be normalized.
The case that goes wrong is when changing away from the fair class
while sleeping. Sleeping tasks have non-normalized vruntime in order
to make sleeper-fairness work. So treat the switch away from fair as a
wakeup and preserve the relative vruntime.
Also update sysrq-n to call the ->switch_{to,from} methods.

CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING adds ns granularity irq time on each CPU.
This info is already used in scheduler to do proper task chargeback
(earlier patches). This patch retro-fits this ns granularity
hardirq and softirq information to /proc/stat irq and softirq fields.
The update is still done on timer tick, where we look at accumulated
ns hardirq/softirq time and account the tick to user/system/irq/hardirq/guest
accordingly.
No new interface added.
Earlier versions looked at adding this as new fields in some /proc
files. This one seems to be the best in terms of impact to existing
apps, even though it has somewhat more kernel code than earlier versions.

Since cfs->{load_stamp,load_last} are zero-initalized the initial load update
will consider the delta to be 'since the beginning of time'.
This results in a lot of pointless divisions to bring this large period to be
within the sysctl_sched_shares_window.
Fix this by initializing load_stamp to be 1 at cfs_rq initialization, this
allows for an initial load_stamp > load_last which then lets standard idle
truncation proceed.
We avoid spinning (and slightly improve consistency) by fixing delta to be
[period - 1] in this path resulting in a slightly more predictable shares ramp.
(Previously the amount of idle time preserved by the overflow would range between
[period/2,period-1].)

wait_for_completion_*_timeout() can return:
0: if the wait timed out
-ve: if the wait was interrupted
+ve: if the completion was completed.
As they currently return an 'unsigned long', the last two cases

code, as is the case for the recently added
wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout() call in
net/sunrpc/cache.c
So change them both to return 'long'. As MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT
is LONG_MAX, a large +ve return value should never overflow.

Since the irqtime accounting is using non-atomic u64 and can be read
from remote cpus (writes are strictly cpu local, reads are not) we
have to deal with observing partial updates.
When we do observe partial updates the clock movement (in particular,
->clock_task movement) will go funny (in either direction), a
subsequent clock update (observing the full update) will make it go
funny in the oposite direction.
Since we rely on these clocks to be strictly monotonic we cannot
suffer backwards motion. One possible solution would be to simply
ignore all backwards deltas, but that will lead to accounting
artefacts, most notable: clock_task + irq_time != clock, this
inaccuracy would end up in user visible stats.
Therefore serialize the reads using a seqcount.

idle_balance() drops/retakes rq->lock, leaving the previous task
vulnerable to set_tsk_need_resched(). Clear it after we return
from balancing instead, and in setup_thread_stack() as well, so
no successfully descheduled or never scheduled task has it set.
Need resched confused the skip_clock_update logic, which assumes
that the next call to update_rq_clock() will come nearly immediately
after being set. Make the optimization robust against the waking
a sleeper before it sucessfully deschedules case by checking that
the current task has not been dequeued before setting the flag,
since it is that useless clock update we're trying to save, and
clear unconditionally in schedule() proper instead of conditionally
in put_prev_task().

There's a long-running regression that proved difficult to fix and
which is hitting certain people and is rather annoying in its effects.
Damien reported that after 74f5187ac8 (sched: Cure load average vs
NO_HZ woes) his load average is unnaturally high, he also noted that
even with that patch reverted the load avgerage numbers are not
correct.
The problem is that the previous patch only solved half the NO_HZ
problem, it addressed the part of going into NO_HZ mode, not of
comming out of NO_HZ mode. This patch implements that missing half.
When comming out of NO_HZ mode there are two important things to take
care of:
- Folding the pending idle delta into the global active count.
- Correctly aging the averages for the idle-duration.
So with this patch the NO_HZ interaction should be complete and
behaviour between CONFIG_NO_HZ=[yn] should be equivalent.
Furthermore, this patch slightly changes the load average computation
by adding a rounding term to the fixed point multiplication.

A recurring complaint from CFS users is that parallel kbuild has
a negative impact on desktop interactivity. This patch
implements an idea from Linus, to automatically create task
groups. Currently, only per session autogroups are implemented,
but the patch leaves the way open for enhancement.
Implementation: each task's signal struct contains an inherited
pointer to a refcounted autogroup struct containing a task group
pointer, the default for all tasks pointing to the
init_task_group. When a task calls setsid(), a new task group
is created, the process is moved into the new task group, and a
reference to the preveious task group is dropped. Child
processes inherit this task group thereafter, and increase it's
refcount. When the last thread of a process exits, the
process's reference is dropped, such that when the last process
referencing an autogroup exits, the autogroup is destroyed.
At runqueue selection time, IFF a task has no cgroup assignment,
its current autogroup is used.
Autogroup bandwidth is controllable via setting it's nice level
through the proc filesystem:
cat /proc/<pid>/autogroup
Displays the task's group and the group's nice level.
echo <nice level> > /proc/<pid>/autogroup
Sets the task group's shares to the weight of nice <level> task.
Setting nice level is rate limited for !admin users due to the
abuse risk of task group locking.
The feature is enabled from boot by default if
CONFIG_SCHED_AUTOGROUP=y is selected, but can be disabled via
the boot option noautogroup, and can also be turned on/off on
the fly via:
echo [01] > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_autogroup_enabled
... which will automatically move tasks to/from the root task group.

The spinning mutex implementation uses cpu_relax() in busy loops as a
compiler barrier. Depending on the architecture, cpu_relax() may do more
than needed in this specific mutex spin loops. On System z we also give
up the time slice of the virtual cpu in cpu_relax(), which prevents
effective spinning on the mutex.
This patch replaces cpu_relax() in the spinning mutex code with
arch_mutex_cpu_relax(), which can be defined by each architecture that
selects HAVE_ARCH_MUTEX_CPU_RELAX. The default is still cpu_relax(), so
this patch should not affect other architectures than System z for now.

Using cfs_rq->nr_running is not sufficient to synchronize update_cfs_load with
the put path since nr_running accounting occurs at deactivation.
It's also not safe to make the removal decision based on load_avg as this fails
with both high periods and low shares. Resolve this by clipping history after
4 periods without activity.
Note: the above will always occur from update_shares() since in the
last-task-sleep-case that task will still be cfs_rq->curr when update_cfs_load
is called.

CPU_DYING to migrating the full rq worth of tasks from CPU_DYING, the
need for the sched_idle_next() abomination disappears as well, since
idle will be the only possible thread left after the migration thread
stops.
This greatly simplifies the hot-unplug task migration path, as can be
seen from the resulting code reduction (and about half the new lines
are comments).

Currently we consider a sched domain to be well balanced when the imbalance
is less than the domain's imablance_pct. As the number of cores and threads
are increasing, current values of imbalance_pct (for example 25% for a
NUMA domain) are not enough to detect imbalances like:
a) On a WSM-EP system (two sockets, each having 6 cores and 12 logical threads),
24 cpu-hogging tasks get scheduled as 13 on one socket and 11 on another
socket. Leading to an idle HT cpu.
b) On a hypothetial 2 socket NHM-EX system (each socket having 8 cores and
16 logical threads), 16 cpu-hogging tasks can get scheduled as 9 on one
socket and 7 on another socket. Leaving one core in a socket idle
whereas in another socket we have a core having both its HT siblings busy.
While this issue can be fixed by decreasing the domain's imbalance_pct
(by making it a function of number of logical cpus in the domain), it
can potentially cause more task migrations across sched groups in an
overloaded case.
Fix this by using imbalance_pct only during newly_idle and busy
load balancing. And during idle load balancing, check if there
is an imbalance in number of idle cpu's across the busiest and this
sched_group or if the busiest group has more tasks than its weight that
the idle cpu in this_group can pull.

When CPU is idle and on first interrupt, irq_enter calls tick_check_idle()
to notify interruption from idle. But, there is a problem if this call
is done after __irq_enter, as all routines in __irq_enter may find
stale time due to yet to be done tick_check_idle.
Specifically, trace calls in __irq_enter when they use global clock and also
account_system_vtime change in this patch as it wants to use sched_clock_cpu()
to do proper irq timing.
But, tick_check_idle was moved after __irq_enter intentionally to
prevent problem of unneeded ksoftirqd wakeups by the commit ee5f80a:
irq: call __irq_enter() before calling the tick_idle_check
Impact: avoid spurious ksoftirqd wakeups
Moving tick_check_idle() before __irq_enter and wrapping it with
local_bh_enable/disable would solve both the problems.

irq time is technically not available to the tasks running on the CPU.
This patch removes irq time from CPU power piggybacking on
sched_rt_avg_update().
Tested this by keeping CPU X busy with a network intensive task having 75%
oa a single CPU irq processing (hard+soft) on a 4-way system. And start seven
cycle soakers on the system. Without this change, there will be two tasks on
each CPU. With this change, there is a single task on irq busy CPU X and
remaining 7 tasks are spread around among other 3 CPUs.

Scheduler accounts both softirq and interrupt processing times to the
currently running task. This means, if the interrupt processing was
for some other task in the system, then the current task ends up being
penalized as it gets shorter runtime than otherwise.
Change sched task accounting to acoount only actual task time from
currently running task. Now update_curr(), modifies the delta_exec to
depend on rq->clock_task.
Note that this change only handles CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING case. We can
extend this to CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING with minimal effort. But, thats
for later.
This change will impact scheduling behavior in interrupt heavy conditions.
Tested on a 4-way system with eth0 handled by CPU 2 and a network heavy
task (nc) running on CPU 3 (and no RSS/RFS). With that I have CPU 2
spending 75%+ of its time in irq processing. CPU 3 spending around 35%
time running nc task.
Now, if I run another CPU intensive task on CPU 2, without this change
/proc/<pid>/schedstat shows 100% of time accounted to this task. With this
change, it rightly shows less than 25% accounted to this task as remaining
time is actually spent on irq processing.

s390/powerpc/ia64 have support for CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING which does
the fine granularity accounting of user, system, hardirq, softirq times.
Adding that option on archs like x86 will be challenging however, given the
state of TSC reliability on various platforms and also the overhead it will
add in syscall entry exit.
Instead, add a lighter variant that only does finer accounting of
hardirq and softirq times, providing precise irq times (instead of timer tick
based samples). This accounting is added with a new config option
CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING so that there won't be any overhead for users not
interested in paying the perf penalty.
This accounting is based on sched_clock, with the code being generic.
So, other archs may find it useful as well.
This patch just adds the core logic and does not enable this logic yet.

Peter Zijlstra found a bug in the way softirq time is accounted in
VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING on this thread:
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail//linux/kernel/1009.2/01366.html
The problem is, softirq processing uses local_bh_disable internally. There
is no way, later in the flow, to differentiate between whether softirq is
being processed or is it just that bh has been disabled. So, a hardirq when bh
is disabled results in time being wrongly accounted as softirq.
Looking at the code a bit more, the problem exists in !VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
as well. As account_system_time() in normal tick based accouting also uses
softirq_count, which will be set even when not in softirq with bh disabled.
Peter also suggested solution of using 2*SOFTIRQ_OFFSET as irq count
for local_bh_{disable,enable} and using just SOFTIRQ_OFFSET while softirq
processing. The patch below does that and adds API in_serving_softirq() which
returns whether we are currently processing softirq or not.
Also changes one of the usages of softirq_count in net/sched/cls_cgroup.c
to in_serving_softirq.
Looks like many usages of in_softirq really want in_serving_softirq. Those
changes can be made individually on a case by case basis.

Load weights are for the CFS, they do not belong in the RT task. This makes all
RT scheduling classes leave the CFS weights alone.
This fixes a real bug as well: I noticed the following phonomena: a process
elevated to SCHED_RR forks with SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK set, and the child is
indeed SCHED_OTHER, and the niceval is indeed reset to 0. However the weight
inserted by set_load_weight() remains at 0, giving the task insignificat
priority.
With this fix, the weight is reset to what the task had before being elevated
to SCHED_RR/SCHED_FIFO.

In order to separate the stop/migrate work thread from the SCHED_FIFO
implementation, create a special class for it that is of higher priority than
SCHED_FIFO itself.
This currently solves a problem where cpu-hotplug consumes so much cpu-time
that the SCHED_FIFO class gets throttled, but has the bandwidth replenishment
timer pending on the now dead cpu.
It is also required for when we add the planned deadline scheduling class above
SCHED_FIFO, as the stop/migrate thread still needs to transcent those tasks.

The cgroup_subsys_state structures referenced by idle tasks are never

which is not removable.
The problem is that while we do in-fact hold rq->lock, the newly spawned
idle thread's cpu is not yet set to the correct cpu so the lockdep check
in task_group():
lockdep_is_held(&task_rq(p)->lock)
will fail.
But this is a chicken and egg problem. Setting the CPU's runqueue requires
that the CPU's runqueue already be set. ;-)

There is a scalability issue for current implementation of optimistic
mutex spin in the kernel. It is found on a 8 node 64 core Nehalem-EX
system (HT mode).
The intention of the optimistic mutex spin is to busy wait and spin on a
mutex if the owner of the mutex is running, in the hope that the mutex
will be released soon and be acquired, without the thread trying to
acquire mutex going to sleep. However, when we have a large number of
threads, contending for the mutex, we could have the mutex grabbed by
other thread, and then another ……, and we will keep spinning, wasting cpu
cycles and adding to the contention. One possible fix is to quit
spinning and put the current thread on wait-list if mutex lock switch to
a new owner while we spin, indicating heavy contention (see the patch
included).
I did some testing on a 8 socket Nehalem-EX system with a total of 64
cores. Using Ingo's test-mutex program that creates/delete files with 256
threads (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/8/50) , I see the following speed up
after putting in the mutex spin fix:
./mutex-test V 256 10
Ops/sec
2.6.34 62864
With fix 197200
Repeating the test with Aim7 fserver workload, again there is a speed up
with the fix:
Jobs/min
2.6.34 91657
With fix 149325
To look at the impact on the distribution of mutex acquisition time, I
collected the mutex acquisition time on Aim7 fserver workload with some
instrumentation. The average acquisition time is reduced by 48% and

The histogram of mutex acquisition time is listed below. The acquisition
time is in 2^bin cycles. We see that without the fix, the acquisition
time is mostly around 2^26 cycles. With the fix, we the distribution get
spread out a lot more towards the lower cycles, starting from 2^13.
However, there is an increase of the tail distribution with the fix at
2^28 and 2^29 cycles. It seems a small price to pay for the reduced
average acquisition time and also getting the cpu to do useful work.

I've done similar experiments with 2.6.35 kernel on smaller boxes as
well. One is on a dual-socket Westmere box (12 cores total, with HT).
Another experiment is on an old dual-socket Core 2 box (4 cores total, no
HT)
On the 12-core Westmere box, I see a 250% increase for Ingo's mutex-test
program with my mutex patch but no significant difference in aim7's
fserver workload.
On the 4-core Core 2 box, I see the difference with the patch for both
mutex-test and aim7 fserver are negligible.
So far, it seems like the patch has not caused regression on smaller
systems.

broke things by not making sure preemption was indeed disabled
by the callers of nr_iowait_cpu() which took the iowait value of

This resulted in a heap of preempt warnings. Cure this by making

Because cgroup_fork() is ran before sched_fork() [ from copy_process() ]
and the child's pid is not yet visible the child is pinned to its

A nicer solution would be moving cgroup_fork() to right after
dup_task_struct() and exclude PF_STARTING from task_subsys_state().

Commit e70971591 ("sched: Optimize unused cgroup configuration") introduced
an imbalanced scheduling bug.
If we do not use CGROUP, function update_h_load won't update h_load. When the
system has a large number of tasks far more than logical CPU number, the
incorrect cfs_rq[cpu]->h_load value will cause load_balance() to pull too
many tasks to the local CPU from the busiest CPU. So the busiest CPU keeps
going in a round robin. That will hurt performance.
The issue was found originally by a scientific calculation workload that
developed by Yanmin. With that commit, the workload performance drops
about 40%.

In the new push model, all idle CPUs indeed go into nohz mode. There is
still the concept of idle load balancer (performing the load balancing
on behalf of all the idle cpu's in the system). Busy CPU kicks the nohz
balancer when any of the nohz CPUs need idle load balancing.
The kickee CPU does the idle load balancing on behalf of all idle CPUs
instead of the normal idle balance.
This addresses the below two problems with the current nohz ilb logic:
* the idle load balancer continued to have periodic ticks during idle and
wokeup frequently, even though it did not have any rebalancing to do on
behalf of any of the idle CPUs.
* On x86 and CPUs that have APIC timer stoppage on idle CPUs, this
periodic wakeup can result in a periodic additional interrupt on a CPU
doing the timer broadcast.
Also currently we are migrating the unpinned timers from an idle to the cpu
doing idle load balancing (when all the cpus in the system are idle,
there is no idle load balancing cpu and timers get added to the same idle cpu
where the request was made. So the existing optimization works only on semi idle
system).
And In semi idle system, we no longer have periodic ticks on the idle load
balancer CPU. Using that cpu will add more delays to the timers than intended
(as that cpu's timer base may not be uptodate wrt jiffies etc). This was
causing mysterious slowdowns during boot etc.
For now, in the semi idle case, use the nearest busy cpu for migrating timers
from an idle cpu. This is good for power-savings anyway.

tickless idle has a negative side effect on update_cpu_load(), which
in turn can affect load balancing behavior.
update_cpu_load() is supposed to be called every tick, to keep track
of various load indicies. With tickless idle, there are no scheduler
ticks called on the idle CPUs. Idle CPUs may still do load balancing
(with idle_load_balance CPU) using the stale cpu_load. It will also
cause problems when all CPUs go idle for a while and become active
again. In this case loads would not degrade as expected.
This is how rq->nr_load_updates change looks like under different
conditions:

That is update_cpu_load works properly only when all CPUs are busy.
If all are idle, all the CPUs get way lower updates. And when few
CPUs are busy and rest are idle, only busy and ilb CPU does proper
updates and rest of the idle CPUs will do lower updates.
The patch keeps track of when a last update was done and fixes up
the load avg based on current time.
On one of my test system SPECjbb with warehouse 1..numcpus, patch
improves throughput numbers by ~1% (average of 6 runs). On another
test system (with different domain hierarchy) there is no noticable
change in perf.

- Contrary to what 6d558c3a says, there is no need to reload
prev = rq->curr after the context switch. You always schedule
back to where you came from, prev must be equal to current
even if cpu/rq was changed.
- This also means reacquire_kernel_lock() can use prev instead
of current.
- No need to reassign switch_count if reacquire_kernel_lock()
reports need_resched(), we can just move the initial assignment
down, under the "need_resched_nonpreemptible:" label.
- Try to update the comment after context_switch().

Concurrency managed workqueue needs to know when workers are going to
sleep and waking up. Using these two hooks, cmwq keeps track of the
current concurrency level and throttles execution of new works if it's
too high and wakes up another worker from the sleep hook if it becomes
too low.
This patch introduces PF_WQ_WORKER to identify workqueue workers and
adds the following two hooks.
* wq_worker_waking_up(): called when a worker is woken up.
* wq_worker_sleeping(): called when a worker is going to sleep and may
return a pointer to a local task which should be woken up. The
returned task is woken up using try_to_wake_up_local() which is
simplified ttwu which is called under rq lock and can only wake up
local tasks.
Both hooks are currently defined as noop in kernel/workqueue_sched.h.
Later cmwq implementation will replace them with proper
implementation.
These hooks are hard coded as they'll always be enabled.

Factor ttwu_activate() and ttwu_woken_up() out of try_to_wake_up().
The factoring out doesn't affect try_to_wake_up() much
code-generation-wise. Depending on configuration options, it ends up
generating the same object code as before or slightly different one
due to different register assignment.
This is to help future implementation of try_to_wake_up_local().

ttwu_woken_up() and comment update in try_to_wake_up().

Currently, when a cpu goes down, cpu_active is cleared before
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE starts and cpuset configuration is updated from a
default priority cpu notifier. When a cpu is coming up, it's set
before CPU_ONLINE but cpuset configuration again is updated from the
same cpu notifier.
For cpu notifiers, this presents an inconsistent state. Threads which
a CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifier expects to be bound to the CPU can be
migrated to other cpus because the cpu is no more inactive.
Fix it by updating cpu_active in the highest priority cpu notifier and
cpuset configuration in the second highest when a cpu is coming up.
Down path is updated similarly. This guarantees that all other cpu
notifiers see consistent cpu_active and cpuset configuration.
cpuset_track_online_cpus() notifier is converted to
cpuset_update_active_cpus() which just updates the configuration and
now called from cpuset_cpu_[in]active() notifiers registered from
sched_init_smp(). If cpuset is disabled, cpuset_update_active_cpus()
degenerates into partition_sched_domains() making separate notifier
for !CONFIG_CPUSETS unnecessary.
This problem is triggered by cmwq. During CPU_DOWN_PREPARE, hotplug
callback creates a kthread and kthread_bind()s it to the target cpu,
and the thread is expected to run on that cpu.
* Ingo's test discovered __cpuinit/exit markups were incorrect.

PROVE_RCU has a few issues with the cpu_cgroup because the scheduler
typically holds rq->lock around the css rcu derefs but the generic
cgroup code doesn't (and can't) know about that lock.
Provide means to add extra checks to the css dereference and use that
in the scheduler to annotate its users.
The addition of rq->lock to these checks is correct because the
cgroup_subsys::attach() method takes the rq->lock for each task it
moves, therefore by holding that lock, we ensure the task is pinned to
the current cgroup and the RCU derefence is valid.
That leaves one genuine race in __sched_setscheduler() where we used
task_group() without holding any of the required locks and thus raced
with the cgroup code. Solve this by moving the check under the
appropriate lock.

The function tracer code uses ftrace_preempt_disable() to disable
preemption instead of normal preempt_disable(). But there's a slight
race condition that may cause it to lose a preemption check.
This was made to keep the function tracer from recursing on itself
by disabling preemption then having the enable call the function tracer
again, causing infinite recursion.
The bug was assumed to happen if the call was just in schedule, but
this is incorrect. The bug is caused by preempt_schedule() which
is called by preempt_enable(). The calling of preempt_enable() when
NEED_RESCHED was set would call preempt_schedule() which would call
the function tracer again.
By making the preempt_schedule() and add_preempt_count() notrace
then this will prevent the inifinite recursion. This is because
the add_preempt_count() would stop the preempt_enable() in the
function tracer from calling preempt_schedule() again.
The sub_preempt_count() is also made notrace just to keep it
symmetric.

Mike reports that since e9e9250b (sched: Scale down cpu_power due to RT
tasks), wake_affine() goes funny on RT tasks due to them still having a
!0 weight and wake_affine() still subtracts that from the rq weight.
Since nobody should be using se->weight for RT tasks, set the value to
zero. Also, since we now use ->cpu_power to normalize rq weights to
account for RT cpu usage, add that factor into the imbalance computation.

New wait_event_interruptible{,_exclusive}_locked{,_irq} macros added.
They work just like versions without _locked* suffix but require the
wait queue's lock to be held. Also __wake_up_locked() is now exported
as to pair it with the above macros.
The use case of this new facility is when one uses wait queue's lock
to protect a data structure. This may be advantageous if the
structure needs to be protected by a spinlock anyway. In particular,
with additional spinlock the following code has to be used to wait
for a condition:
spin_lock(&data.lock);
...
for (ret = 0; !ret && !(condition); ) {
spin_unlock(&data.lock);
ret = wait_event_interruptible(data.wqh, (condition));
spin_lock(&data.lock);
}
...
spin_unlock(&data.lock);
This looks bizarre plus wait_event_interruptible() locks the wait
queue's lock anyway so there is a unlock+lock sequence where it could
be avoided.
To avoid those problems and benefit from wait queue's lock, a code
similar to the following should be used:
/* Waiting */
spin_lock(&data.wqh.lock);
...
ret = wait_event_interruptible_locked(data.wqh, (condition));
...
spin_unlock(&data.wqh.lock);
/* Waiting exclusively */
spin_lock(&data.whq.lock);
...
ret = wait_event_interruptible_exclusive_locked(data.whq, (condition));
...
spin_unlock(&data.whq.lock);
/* Waking up */
spin_lock(&data.wqh.lock);
...
wake_up_locked(&data.wqh);
...
spin_unlock(&data.wqh.lock);
When spin_lock_irq() is used matching versions of macros need to be
used (*_locked_irq()).

The addition of preemptible RCU to treercu resulted in a bit of
confusion and inefficiency surrounding the handling of context switches
for RCU-sched and for RCU-preempt. For RCU-sched, a context switch
is a quiescent state, pure and simple, just like it always has been.
For RCU-preempt, a context switch is in no way a quiescent state, but
special handling is required when a task blocks in an RCU read-side
critical section.
However, the callout from the scheduler and the outer loop in ksoftirqd
still calls something named rcu_sched_qs(), whose name is no longer
accurate. Furthermore, when rcu_check_callbacks() notes an RCU-sched
quiescent state, it ends up unnecessarily (though harmlessly, aside
from the performance hit) enqueuing the current task if it happens to
be running in an RCU-preempt read-side critical section. This not only
increases the maximum latency of scheduler_tick(), it also needlessly
increases the overhead of the next outermost rcu_read_unlock() invocation.
This patch addresses this situation by separating the notion of RCU's
context-switch handling from that of RCU-sched's quiescent states.
The context-switch handling is covered by rcu_note_context_switch() in
general and by rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() for preemptible RCU.
This permits rcu_sched_qs() to handle quiescent states and only quiescent
states. It also reduces the maximum latency of scheduler_tick(), though
probably by much less than a microsecond. Finally, it means that tasks
within preemptible-RCU read-side critical sections avoid incurring the
overhead of queuing unless there really is a context switch.

The paranoid check which verifies that the cpu_stop callback is
actually called on all online cpus is completely superflous. It's
guaranteed by cpu_stop facility and if it didn't work as advertised
other things would go horribly wrong and trying to recover using
synchronize_sched() wouldn't be very meaningful.
Kill the paranoid check. Removal of this feature is done as a
separate step so that it can serve as a bisection point if something

Currently migration_thread is serving three purposes - migration
pusher, context to execute active_load_balance() and forced context
switcher for expedited RCU synchronize_sched. All three roles are
hardcoded into migration_thread() and determining which job is
scheduled is slightly messy.
This patch kills migration_thread and replaces all three uses with
cpu_stop. The three different roles of migration_thread() are
splitted into three separate cpu_stop callbacks -
migration_cpu_stop(), active_load_balance_cpu_stop() and
synchronize_sched_expedited_cpu_stop() - and each use case now simply
asks cpu_stop to execute the callback as necessary.
synchronize_sched_expedited() was implemented with private
preallocated resources and custom multi-cpu queueing and waiting
logic, both of which are provided by cpu_stop.
synchronize_sched_expedited_count is made atomic and all other shared
resources along with the mutex are dropped.
synchronize_sched_expedited() also implemented a check to detect cases
where not all the callback got executed on their assigned cpus and
fall back to synchronize_sched(). If called with cpu hotplug blocked,
cpu_stop already guarantees that and the condition cannot happen;
otherwise, stop_machine() would break. However, this patch preserves
the paranoid check using a cpumask to record on which cpus the stopper
ran so that it can serve as a bisection point if something actually
goes wrong theree.
Because the internal execution state is no longer visible,
rcu_expedited_torture_stats() is removed.
This patch also renames cpu_stop threads to from "stopper/%d" to
"migration/%d". The names of these threads ultimately don't matter
and there's no reason to make unnecessary userland visible changes.
With this patch applied, stop_machine() and sched now share the same
resources. stop_machine() is faster without wasting any resources and
sched migration users are much cleaner.

Chase reported that due to us decrementing calc_load_task prematurely
(before the next LOAD_FREQ sample), the load average could be scewed
by as much as the number of CPUs in the machine.
This patch, based on Chase's patch, cures the problem by keeping the
delta of the CPU going into NO_HZ idle separately and folding that in
on the next LOAD_FREQ update.
This restores the balance and we get strict LOAD_FREQ period samples.

Due to recent load-balancer changes that delay the task migration to
the next wakeup, the adaptive mutex spinning ends up in a live lock
when the owner's CPU gets offlined because the cpu_online() check
lives before the owner running check.
This patch changes mutex_spin_on_owner() to return 0 (don't spin) in
any case where we aren't sure about the owner struct validity or CPU
number, and if the said CPU is offline. There is no point going back &
re-evaluate spinning in corner cases like that, let's just go to

In order to reduce the dependency on TASK_WAKING rework the enqueue
interface to support a proper flags field.
Replace the int wakeup, bool head arguments with an int flags argument
and create the following flags:
ENQUEUE_WAKEUP - the enqueue is a wakeup of a sleeping task,
ENQUEUE_WAKING - the enqueue has relative vruntime due to
having sched_class::task_waking() called,
ENQUEUE_HEAD - the waking task should be places on the head
of the priority queue (where appropriate).
For symmetry also convert sched_class::dequeue() to a flags scheme.

Oleg noticed a few races with the TASK_WAKING usage on fork.
- since TASK_WAKING is basically a spinlock, it should be IRQ safe
- since we set TASK_WAKING (*) without holding rq->lock it could
be there still is a rq->lock holder, thereby not actually
providing full serialization.
(*) in fact we clear PF_STARTING, which in effect enables TASK_WAKING.
Cure the second issue by not setting TASK_WAKING in sched_fork(), but
only temporarily in wake_up_new_task() while calling select_task_rq().
Cure the first by holding rq->lock around the select_task_rq() call,
this will disable IRQs, this however requires that we push down the
rq->lock release into select_task_rq_fair()'s cgroup stuff.
Because select_task_rq_fair() still needs to drop the rq->lock we
cannot fully get rid of TASK_WAKING.

I am not proud of this patch. Everything which needs such a fat comment

_cpu_down() changes the current task's affinity and then recovers it at
the end. The problems are well known: we can't restore old_allowed if it
was bound to the now-dead-cpu, and we can race with the userspace which
can change cpu-affinity during unplug.
_cpu_down() should not play with current->cpus_allowed at all. Instead,
take_cpu_down() can migrate the caller of _cpu_down() after __cpu_disable()

sched_exec()->select_task_rq() reads/updates ->cpus_allowed lockless.
This can race with other CPUs updating our ->cpus_allowed, and this
looks meaningless to me.
The task is current and running, it must have online cpus in ->cpus_allowed,
the fallback mode is bogus. And, if ->sched_class returns the "wrong" cpu,
this likely means we raced with set_cpus_allowed() which was called
for reason, why should sched_exec() retry and call ->select_task_rq()
again?
Change the code to call sched_class->select_task_rq() directly and do
nothing if the returned cpu is wrong after re-checking under rq->lock.
From now task_struct->cpus_allowed is always stable under TASK_WAKING,
select_fallback_rq() is always called under rq-lock or the caller or
the caller owns TASK_WAKING (select_task_rq).

move_task_off_dead_cpu()->select_fallback_rq() reads/updates ->cpus_allowed
lockless. We can race with set_cpus_allowed() running in parallel.
Change it to take rq->lock around select_fallback_rq(). Note that it is not
trivial to move this spin_lock() into select_fallback_rq(), we must recheck
the task was not migrated after we take the lock and other callers do not
need this lock.
To avoid the races with other callers of select_fallback_rq() which rely on
TASK_WAKING, we also check p->state != TASK_WAKING and do nothing otherwise.
The owner of TASK_WAKING must update ->cpus_allowed and choose the correct
CPU anyway, and the subsequent __migrate_task() is just meaningless because
p->se.on_rq must be false.
Alternatively, we could change select_task_rq() to take rq->lock right
after it calls sched_class->select_task_rq(), but this looks a bit ugly.
Also, change it to not assume irqs are disabled and absorb __migrate_task_irq().

This patch just states the fact the cpusets/cpuhotplug interaction is
broken and removes the deadlockable code which only pretends to work.
- cpuset_lock() doesn't really work. It is needed for
cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked() but we can't take this lock in
try_to_wake_up()->select_fallback_rq() path.
- cpuset_lock() is deadlockable. Suppose that a task T bound to CPU takes
callback_mutex. If cpu_down(CPU) happens before T drops callback_mutex
stop_machine() preempts T, then migration_call(CPU_DEAD) tries to take
cpuset_lock() and hangs forever because CPU is already dead and thus
T can't be scheduled.
- cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked() is deadlockable too. It takes task_lock()
which is not irq-safe, but try_to_wake_up() can be called from irq.
Kill them, and change select_fallback_rq() to use cpu_possible_mask, like
we currently do without CONFIG_CPUSETS.
Also, with or without this patch, with or without CONFIG_CPUSETS, the
callers of select_fallback_rq() can race with each other or with
set_cpus_allowed() pathes.
The subsequent patches try to to fix these problems.
