I got a boot crash when forcing cpumasks offstack on 32 bit,
because find_new_ilb() returned 3 on my UP system (nohz.cpu_mask
wasn't zeroed).
AFAICT the others need to be zeroed too: only
nohz.ilb_grp_nohz_mask is initialized before use.

CPU time of a guest is always accounted in 'user' time
without concern for the nice value of its counterpart
process although the guest is scheduled under the nice
value.
This patch fixes the defect and accounts cpu time of
a niced guest in 'nice' time as same as a niced process.
And also the patch adds 'guest_nice' to cpuacct. The
value provides niced guest cpu time which is like 'nice'
to 'user'.

This patch restores the effectiveness of LAST_BUDDY in preventing
pgsql+oltp from collapsing due to wakeup preemption. It also
switches LAST_BUDDY to exclusively do what it does best, namely
mitigate the effects of aggressive wakeup preemption, which
improves vmark throughput markedly, and restores mysql+oltp
scalability.
Since buddies are about scalability, enable them beginning at the
point where we begin expanding sched_latency, namely
sched_nr_latency. Previously, buddies were cleared aggressively,
which seriously reduced their effectiveness. Not clearing
aggressively however, produces a small drop in mysql+oltp
throughput immediately after peak, indicating that LAST_BUDDY is
actually doing some harm. This is right at the point where X on the
desktop in competition with another load wants low latency service.
Ergo, do not enable until we need to scale.
To mitigate latency induced by buddies, or by a task just missing
wakeup preemption, check latency at tick time.
Last hunk prevents buddies from stymieing BALANCE_NEWIDLE via
CACHE_HOT_BUDDY.

Alter the ss->can_attach and ss->attach functions to be able to deal with
a whole threadgroup at a time, for use in cgroup_attach_proc. (This is a
pre-patch to cgroup-procs-writable.patch.)
Currently, new mode of the attach function can only tell the subsystem
about the old cgroup of the threadgroup leader. No subsystem currently
needs that information for each thread that's being moved, but if one were
to be added (for example, one that counts tasks within a group) this bit
would need to be reworked a bit to tell the subsystem the right
information.

Fix the menu idle governor which balances power savings, energy efficiency
and performance impact.
The reason for a reworked governor is that there have been serious
performance issues reported with the existing code on Nehalem server
systems.
To show this I'm sure Andrew wants to see benchmark results:
(benchmark is "fio", "no cstates" is using "idle=poll")
no cstates current linux new algorithm
1 disk 107 Mb/s 85 Mb/s 105 Mb/s
2 disks 215 Mb/s 123 Mb/s 209 Mb/s
12 disks 590 Mb/s 320 Mb/s 585 Mb/s
In various power benchmark measurements, no degredation was found by our
measurement&diagnostics team. Obviously a small percentage more power was
used in the "fio" benchmark, due to the much higher performance.
While it would be a novel idea to describe the new algorithm in this
commit message, I cheaped out and described it in comments in the code
instead.

* 'perfcounters-rename-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:
perf: Tidy up after the big rename
perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events
perf_counter: Rename 'event' to event_id/hw_event
perf_counter: Rename list_entry -> group_entry, counter_list -> group_list
Manually resolved some fairly trivial conflicts with the tracing tree in
include/trace/ftrace.h and kernel/trace/trace_syscalls.c.
Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.
Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.
All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.
User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)
This patch has been generated via the following script:
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \
-e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
-e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
-e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
-e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
-e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
-e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
$FILES
for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
mv $N $M
done
FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
sed -i \
-e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
-e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
-e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
-e 's/counter/event/g' \
-e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
$FILES
... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

The problem with wake_idle() is that is doesn't respect things like
cpu_power, which means it doesn't deal well with SMT nor the recent
RT interaction.
To cure this, it needs to do what sched_balance_self() does, which
leads to the possibility of merging select_task_rq_fair() and
sched_balance_self().
Modify sched_balance_self() to:
- update_shares() when walking up the domain tree,
(it only called it for the top domain, but it should
have done this anyway), which allows us to remove
this ugly bit from try_to_wake_up().
- do wake_affine() on the smallest domain that contains
both this (the waking) and the prev (the wakee) cpu for
WAKE invocations.
Then use the top-down balance steps it had to replace wake_idle().
This leads to the dissapearance of SD_WAKE_BALANCE and
SD_WAKE_IDLE_FAR, with SD_WAKE_IDLE replaced with SD_BALANCE_WAKE.
SD_WAKE_AFFINE needs SD_BALANCE_WAKE to be effective.
Touch all topology bits to replace the old with new SD flags --
platforms might need re-tuning, enabling SD_BALANCE_WAKE
conditionally on a NUMA distance seems like a good additional
feature, magny-core and small nehalem systems would want this
enabled, systems with slow interconnects would not.

We're going to want to drop rq->lock in try_to_wake_up() for a
longer period of time, however we also want to deal with concurrent
waking of the same task, which is currently handled by holding
rq->lock.
So introduce a new TASK state, namely TASK_WAKING, which indicates
someone is already waking the task (other wakers will fail p->state
& state).
We also keep preemption disabled over the whole ttwu().

When re-computing the shares for each task group's cpu
representation we need the ratio of weight on each cpu vs the
total weight of the sched domain.
Since load-balancing is loosely (read not) synchronized, the
weight of individual cpus can change between doing the sum and
calculating the ratio.
The previous patch dealt with only one of the race scenarios,
this patch side steps them all by saving a snapshot of all the
individual cpu weights, thereby always working on a consistent
set.

Reflect "active" cpus in the rq->rd->online field, instead of
the online_map.
The motivation is that things that use the root-domain code
(such as cpupri) only care about cpus classified as "active"
anyway. By synchronizing the root-domain state with the active
map, we allow several optimizations.
For instance, we can remove an extra cpumask_and from the
scheduler hotpath by utilizing rq->rd->online (since it is now
a cached version of cpu_active_map & rq->rd->span).

We currently have an explicit "needs_post" vtable method which
returns a stack variable for whether we should later run
post-schedule. This leads to an awkward exchange of the
variable as it bubbles back up out of the context switch. Peter
Zijlstra observed that this information could be stored in the
run-queue itself instead of handled on the stack.
Therefore, we revert to the method of having context_switch
return void, and update an internal rq->post_schedule variable
when we require further processing.
In addition, we fix a race condition where we try to access
current->sched_class without holding the rq->lock. This is
technically racy, as the sched-class could change out from
under us. Instead, we reference the per-rq post_schedule
variable with the runqueue unlocked, but with preemption
disabled to see if we need to reacquire the rq->lock.
Finally, we clean the code up slightly by removing the #ifdef
CONFIG_SMP conditionals from the schedule() call, and implement
some inline helper functions instead.
This patch passes checkpatch, and rt-migrate.

The current method for pushing RT tasks after scheduling only
happens after a context switch. But we found cases where a task
is set up on a run queue to be pushed but the push never

This bug was found with the help of Gregory Haskins and the use
of ftrace (trace_printk). It tooks several days for both of us

Commit ec4e0e2fe0 ("fix
inconsistency when redistribute per-cpu tg->cfs_rq shares")
broke cgroup smp fairness.
In order to avoid starvation of newly placed tasks, we never
quite set the share of an empty cpu group-task to 0, but
instead we set it as if there's a single NICE-0 task present.
If however we actually set this in cfs_rq[cpu]->shares, that
means the total shares for that group will be slightly inflated
every time we balance, causing the observed unfairness.
Fix this by setting cfs_rq[cpu]->shares to 0 but actually
setting the effective weight of the related se to the inflated
number.

might_sleep() is called late-ish in cond_resched(), after the
need_resched()/preempt enabled/system running tests are
checked.
It's better to check the sleeps while atomic earlier and not
depend on some environment datas that reduce the chances to
detect a problem.
Also define cond_resched_*() helpers as macros, so that the
FILE/LINE reported in the sleeping while atomic warning
displays the real origin and not sched.h
Changes in v2:
- Call __might_sleep() directly instead of might_sleep() which
may call cond_resched()
- Turn cond_resched() into a macro so that the file:line
couple reported refers to the caller of cond_resched() and

The schedule() function is a loop that reschedules the current
task while the TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag is set:
void schedule(void)
{
need_resched:
/* schedule code */
if (need_resched())
goto need_resched;
}
And cond_resched() repeat this loop:
do {
add_preempt_count(PREEMPT_ACTIVE);
schedule();
sub_preempt_count(PREEMPT_ACTIVE);
} while(need_resched());
This loop is needless because schedule() already did the check
and nothing can set TIF_NEED_RESCHED between schedule() exit
and the loop check in need_resched().
Then remove this needless loop.

The new load average code clears rq->calc_load_active on
CPU_ONLINE. That's wrong as the new onlined CPU might have got a
scheduler tick already and accounted the delta to the stale value of
the time we offlined the CPU.
Clear the value when we cleanup the dead CPU instead.
Also move the update of the calc_load_update time for the newly online
CPU to CPU_UP_PREPARE to avoid that the CPU plays catch up with the
stale update time value.

* 'sched-fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/peterz/linux-2.6-sched:
sched: Fix bug in SCHED_IDLE interaction with group scheduling
sched: Fix rt_rq->pushable_tasks initialization in init_rt_rq()
sched: Reset sched stats on fork()
sched_rt: Fix overload bug on rt group scheduling
sched: Documentation/sched-rt-group: Fix style issues & bump version
Optimize cond_resched() by removing one conditional.
Currently cond_resched() checks system_state ==
SYSTEM_RUNNING in order to avoid scheduling before the
scheduler is running.
We can however, as per suggestion of Matt, use
PREEMPT_ACTIVE to accomplish that very same.

init_rt_rq() initializes only rq->rt.pushable_tasks, and not the
pushable_tasks field of the passed rt_rq. The plist is not used
uninitialized since the only pushable_tasks plists used are the
ones of root rt_rqs; anyway reinitializing the list on every group
creation corrupts the root plist, losing its previous contents.

The sched_stat fields are currently not reset upon fork.
Ingo's recent commit 6c594c21fc
did reset nr_migrations, but it didn't reset any of the
others.
This patch resets all sched_stat fields on fork.

Fixes an easily triggerable BUG() when setting process affinities.
Make sure to count the number of migratable tasks in the same place:
the root rt_rq. Otherwise the number doesn't make sense and we'll hit
the BUG in set_cpus_allowed_rt().
Also, make sure we only count tasks, not groups (this is probably
already taken care of by the fact that rt_se->nr_cpus_allowed will be 0
for groups, but be more explicit)

This adds the synchronize_sched_expedited() primitive that
implements the "big hammer" expedited RCU grace periods.
This primitive is placed in kernel/sched.c rather than
kernel/rcupdate.c due to its need to interact closely with the
migration_thread() kthread.
The idea is to wake up this kthread with req->task set to NULL,
in response to which the kthread reports the quiescent state
resulting from the kthread having been scheduled.
Because this patch needs to fallback to the slow versions of
the primitives in response to some races with CPU onlining and
offlining, a new synchronize_rcu_bh() primitive is added as
well.

There are a few places where ___cacheline_aligned* is used with
DEFINE_PER_CPU(). Use DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED() instead.
DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED() applies alignment only on SMPs. While
all other converted places used _in_smp variant or only get compiled
for SMP, net/rds used unconditional ____cacheline_aligned. I don't
see any reason these data structures should be aligned on UP and thus
converted together.
