This patch introduces new feature of cpuset - sched domain customization.
This version provides a per-cpuset file 'sched_relax_domain_level' that
enable us to change the searching range of scheduler, which used to limit
how many cpus the scheduler searches at some schedule events, such as
wakening task and running out of runqueue.

This patch allows tasks and groups to exist in the same cfs_rq. With this
change the CFS group scheduling follows a 1/(M+N) model from a 1/(1+N)
fairness model where M tasks and N groups exist at the cfs_rq level.

Add a new function that accepts a pointer to the "newly allowed cpus"
cpumask argument.
int set_cpus_allowed_ptr(struct task_struct *p, const cpumask_t *new_mask)
The current set_cpus_allowed() function is modified to use the above
but this does not result in an ABI change. And with some compiler
optimization help, it may not introduce any additional overhead.
Additionally, to enforce the read only nature of the new_mask arg, the
"const" property is migrated to sub-functions called by set_cpus_allowed.
This silences compiler warnings.

Move the setting of nr_cpu_ids from sched_init() to start_kernel()
so that it's available as early as possible.
Note that an arch has the option of setting it even earlier if need be,
but it should not result in a different value than the setup_nr_cpu_ids()
function.

* Here is a simple patch to use an allocated array of cpumasks to
represent cpumask_of_cpu() instead of constructing one on the stack.
It's based on the Kconfig option "HAVE_CPUMASK_OF_CPU_MAP" which is
currently only set for x86_64 SMP. Otherwise the the existing
cpumask_of_cpu() is used but has been changed to produce an lvalue
so a pointer to it can be used.

Create a simple macro to always return a pointer to the node_to_cpumask(node)
value. This relies on compiler optimization to remove the extra indirection:
#define node_to_cpumask_ptr(v, node) \
cpumask_t _##v = node_to_cpumask(node), *v = &_##v
For those systems with a large cpumask size, then a true pointer
to the array element can be used:
#define node_to_cpumask_ptr(v, node) \
cpumask_t *v = &(node_to_cpumask_map[node])
A node_to_cpumask_ptr_next() macro is provided to access another
node_to_cpumask value.
The other change is to always include asm-generic/topology.h moving the
ifdef CONFIG_NUMA to this same file.
Note: there are no references to either of these new macros in this patch,
only the definition.

Change the following arrays sized by NR_CPUS to be PERCPU variables:
static struct op_msrs cpu_msrs[NR_CPUS];
static unsigned long saved_lvtpc[NR_CPUS];
Also some minor complaints from checkpatch.pl fixed.
Based on:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/x86/linux-2.6-x86.git
All changes were transparent except for:
static void nmi_shutdown(void)
{
+ struct op_msrs *msrs = &__get_cpu_var(cpu_msrs);
nmi_enabled = 0;
on_each_cpu(nmi_cpu_shutdown, NULL, 0, 1);
unregister_die_notifier(&profile_exceptions_nb);
- model->shutdown(cpu_msrs);
+ model->shutdown(msrs);
free_msrs();
}
The existing code passed a reference to cpu 0's instance of struct op_msrs
to model->shutdown, whilst the other functions are passed a reference to
<this cpu's> instance of a struct op_msrs. This seemed to be a bug to me
even though as long as cpu 0 and <this cpu> are of the same type it would
have the same effect...?

Add a new function cpumask_scnprintf_len() to return the number of
characters needed to display "len" cpumask bits. The current method
of allocating NR_CPUS bytes is incorrect as what's really needed is
9 characters per 32-bit word of cpumask bits (8 hex digits plus the
seperator [','] or the terminating NULL.) This function provides the
caller the means to allocate the correct string length.

I noticed this when looking at an openswan issue. Openswan (ab?)uses the
tasklet API to defer processing of packets in some situations, with one
packet per tasklet_action(). I started noticing sequences of
backwards-ordered sequence numbers coming over the wire, since new tasklets
are always queued at the head of the list but processed sequentially.
Convert it to instead append new entries to the tail of the list. As an
extra bonus, the splicing code in takeover_tasklets() no longer has to
iterate over the list.

Currently the rt group scheduling does a per cpu runtime limit, however
the rt load balancer makes no guarantees about an equal spread of real-
time tasks, just that at any one time, the highest priority tasks run.
Solve this by making the runtime limit a global property by borrowing
excessive runtime from the other cpus once the local limit runs out.

the check that should have avoided that is:
/*

if (unlikely(rq->load.weight == curr->se.load.weight))

But I guess that overlooks rt tasks, they also increase the load.
