Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been
frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need
special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware
subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events
related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress. This
patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during
suspend and resume transitions. It also changes all of the
CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration
(for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal"
ones).

Eliminate lock_cpu_hotplug from kernel/sched.c and use sched_hotcpu_mutex
instead to postpone a hotplug event.
In the migration_call hotcpu callback function, take sched_hotcpu_mutex
while handling the event CPU_LOCK_ACQUIRE and release it while handling
CPU_LOCK_RELEASE event.

task from the "expired" array'
Revert commit bd53f96ca54a21c07e7a0ae1886fa623d370b85f.
Con says:
This is no good, sorry. The one I saw originally was with the staircase
deadline cpu scheduler in situ and was different.
#define TASK_PREEMPTS_CURR(p, rq) \
((p)->prio < (rq)->curr->prio)
(((p)->prio < (rq)->curr->prio) && ((p)->array == (rq)->active))
This will fail to wake up a runqueue for a task that has been migrated to the
expired array of a runqueue which is otherwise idle which can happen with smp
balancing,

from the "expired" array
- Make TASK_PREEMPTS_CURR(task, rq) return "true" only if the task's prio
is higher than the current's one and the task is in the "active" array.
This ensures we don't make redundant resched_task() calls when the task
is in the "expired" array (as may happen now in set_user_prio(),
rt_mutex_setprio() and pull_task() ) ;
- generalise conditions for a call to resched_task() in set_user_nice(),
rt_mutex_setprio() and sched_setscheduler()

When a logical cpu 'x' already has more than one process running, then most
likely the siblings of that cpu 'x' must be busy. Otherwise the idle
siblings would have likely(in most of the scenarios) picked up the extra
load making the load on 'x' atmost one.
Use this logic to eliminate the siblings status check and minimize the cache
misses encountered on a heavily loaded system.

I noticed expensive divides done in try_to_wakeup() and
find_busiest_group() on a bi dual core Opteron machine (total of 4 cores),
moderatly loaded (15.000 context switch per second)
oprofile numbers :
CPU: AMD64 processors, speed 2600.05 MHz (estimated)
Counted CPU_CLK_UNHALTED events (Cycles outside of halt state) with a unit
mask of 0x00 (No unit mask) count 50000
samples % symbol name
...
613914 1.0498 try_to_wake_up
834 0.0013 :ffffffff80227ae1: div %rcx
77513 0.1191 :ffffffff80227ae4: mov %rax,%r11
608893 1.0413 find_busiest_group
1841 0.0031 :ffffffff802260bf: div %rdi
140109 0.2394 :ffffffff802260c2: test %sil,%sil
Some of these divides can use the reciprocal divides we introduced some
time ago (currently used in slab AFAIK)
We can assume a load will fit in a 32bits number, because with a
SCHED_LOAD_SCALE=128 value, its still a theorical limit of 33554432
When/if we reach this limit one day, probably cpus will have a fast
hardware divide and we can zap the reciprocal divide trick.
Ingo suggested to rename cpu_power to __cpu_power to make clear it should
not be modified without changing its reciprocal value too.
I did not convert the divide in cpu_avg_load_per_task(), because tracking
nr_running changes may be not worth it ? We could use a static table of 32
reciprocal values but it would add a conditional branch and table lookup.

Fix the process idle load balancing in the presence of dynticks. cpus for
which ticks are stopped will sleep till the next event wakes it up.
Potentially these sleeps can be for large durations and during which today,
there is no periodic idle load balancing being done.
This patch nominates an owner among the idle cpus, which does the idle load
balancing on behalf of the other idle cpus. And once all the cpus are
completely idle, then we can stop this idle load balancing too. Checks added
in fast path are minimized. Whenever there are busy cpus in the system, there
will be an owner(idle cpu) doing the system wide idle load balancing.
Open items:
1. Intelligent owner selection (like an idle core in a busy package).
2. Merge with rcu's nohz_cpu_mask?

Periodic load balancing in recent kernels happen in the softirq. In
certain -rt configurations, these softirqs are handled in softirqd context.
And hence the check for idle processor was always returning busy (as
nr_running > 1).
This patch captures the idle information at the tick and passes this info
to softirq context through an element 'idle_at_tick' in rq.

Add touch_all_softlockup_watchdogs() to allow the softlockup watchdog
timers on all cpus to be updated. This is used to prevent sysrq-t from
generating a spurious watchdog message when generating lots of output.
Softlockup watchdogs use sched_clock() as its timebase, which is inherently
per-cpu (at least, when it is measuring unstolen time). Because of this,
it isn't possible for one CPU to directly update the other CPU's timers,
but it is possible to tell the other CPUs to do update themselves
appropriately.

The nr_cpu_ids value is currently only calculated in smp_init. However, it
may be needed before (SLUB needs it on kmem_cache_init!) and other kernel
components may also want to allocate dynamically sized per cpu array before
smp_init. So move the determination of possible cpus into sched_init()
where we already loop over all possible cpus early in boot.
Also initialize both nr_node_ids and nr_cpu_ids with the highest value they
could take. If we have accidental users before these values are determined
then the current valud of 0 may cause too small per cpu and per node arrays
to be allocated. If it is set to the maximum possible then we only waste
some memory for early boot users.

show_state() (SysRq-T) developed the buggy habbit of not showing
TASK_RUNNING tasks. This was due to the mistaken belief that state_filter
== -1 would be a pass-through filter - while in reality it did not let
TASK_RUNNING == 0 p->state values through.
Fix this by restoring the original '!state_filter means all tasks'
special-case i had in the original version. Test-built and test-booted on
i686, SysRq-T now works as intended.

the p->parent PID printout gives us all the information about the
task tree that we need - the eldest_child()/older_sibling()/
younger_sibling() printouts are mostly historic and i do not
remember ever having used those fields. (IMO in fact they confuse
the SysRq-T output.) So remove them.
This code has sentimental value though, those fields and
printouts are one of the oldest ones still surviving from
Linux v0.95's kernel/sched.c:
if (p->p_ysptr || p->p_osptr)
printk(" Younger sib=%d, older sib=%d\n\r",
p->p_ysptr ? p->p_ysptr->pid : -1,
p->p_osptr ? p->p_osptr->pid : -1);
else
printk("\n\r");

Remove the SMT-nice feature which idles sibling cpus on SMT cpus to
facilitiate nice working properly where cpu power is shared. The idling of
cpus in the presence of runnable tasks is considered too fragile, easy to
break with outside code, and the complexity of managing this system if an
architecture comes along with many logical cores sharing cpu power will be
unworkable.
Remove the associated per_cpu_gain variable in sched_domains used only by
this code.
Also:
The reason is that with dynticks enabled, this code breaks without yet
further tweaks so dynticks brought on the rapid demise of this code. So
either we tweak this code or kill it off entirely. It was Ingo's preference
to kill it off. Either way this needs to happen for 2.6.21 since dynticks
has gone in.

The SMT scheduler incorrectly skips kernel threads even if they are
runnable (but they are preempted by a higher-prio user-space task which got
SMT-delayed by an even higher-priority task running on a sibling CPU).
Fix this for now by only doing the SMT-nice optimization if the
to-be-delayed task is the only runnable task. (This should cover most of
the real-life cases anyway.)
This bug has been in the SMT scheduler since 2.6.17 or so, but has only
been noticed now by the active check in the dynticks code.

Commit b18ec80396834497933d77b81ec0918519f4e2a7
[PATCH] sched: improve migration accuracy
optimized the scheduler time calculations, but broke posix-cpu-timers.
The problem is that the p->last_ran value is not updated after a context
switch. So a subsequent call to current_sched_time() calculates with a
stale p->last_ran value, i.e. accounts the full time, which the task was
scheduled away.

The VMI ROM has a mode where hypercalls can be queued and batched. This turns
out to be a significant win during context switch, but must be done at a
specific point before side effects to CPU state are visible to subsequent
instructions. This is similar to the MMU batching hooks already provided.
The same hooks could be used by the Xen backend to implement a context switch
multicall.
To explain a bit more about lazy modes in the paravirt patches, basically, the
idea is that only one of lazy CPU or MMU mode can be active at any given time.
Lazy MMU mode is similar to this lazy CPU mode, and allows for batching of
multiple PTE updates (say, inside a remap loop), but to avoid keeping some
kind of state machine about when to flush cpu or mmu updates, we just allow
one or the other to be active. Although there is no real reason a more
comprehensive scheme could not be implemented, there is also no demonstrated
need for this extra complexity.

Commit 5c1e176781f43bc902a51e5832f789756bff911b ("sched: force /sbin/init
off isolated cpus") sets init's cpus_allowed to a subset of cpu_online_map
at boot time, which means that tasks won't be scheduled on cpus that are
added to the system later.
Make init's cpus_allowed a subset of cpu_possible_map instead. This should
still preserve the behavior that Nick's change intended.
Thanks to Giuliano Pochini for reporting this and testing the fix:

Remove the __resched_legal() check: it is conceptually broken. The biggest
problem it had is that it can mask buggy cond_resched() calls. A
cond_resched() call is only legal if we are not in an atomic context, with
two narrow exceptions:
- if the system is booting
- a reacquire_kernel_lock() down() done while PREEMPT_ACTIVE is set
But __resched_legal() hid this and just silently returned whenever
these primitives were called from invalid contexts. (Same goes for
cond_resched_locked() and cond_resched_softirq()).
Furthermore, the __legal_resched(0) call was buggy in that it caused
unnecessarily long softirq latencies via cond_resched_softirq(). (which is
only called from softirq-off sections, hence the code did nothing.)
The fix is to resurrect the efficiency of the might_sleep checks and to
only allow the narrow exceptions.

Commit 2d7d253548cffdce80f4e03664686e9ccb1b0ed7 ("fix cond_resched() fix")
introduced an 'expected_preempt_count' parameter to __resched_legal() to
fix a bug where it was returning a false negative when called from
cond_resched_lock() and preemption was enabled.
Unfortunately this broke things for when preemption is disabled.
preempt_count() will always return zero, thus failing the check against any
value of expected_preempt_count not equal to zero. cond_resched_lock() for
example, passes an expected_preempt_count value of 1.
So fix the fix for the cond_resched() fix by skipping the check of
preempt_count() against expected_preempt_count when preemption is disabled.
Credit should go to Sunil Mushran for spotting the bug during testing.

Problem:
sched_fork() has always called scheduler_tick() in some (unlikely)
circumstances in order to update the current task in light of those
circumstances. It has always been the case that the work done by
scheduler_tick() was more than was required to handle the problem in
hand but no harm was done except for the waste of a few CPU cycles.
However, the splitting of scheduler_tick() into two procedures in
2.6.20-rc1 enables the wasted cycles to be saved as the new procedure
task_running_tick() does all the work that is required to rectify the
problem being handled.
Solution:
Replace the call to scheduler_tick() in sched_fork() with a call to
task_running_tick().

When we print an assert due to scheduling-in-atomic bugs, and if lockdep
is enabled, then the IRQ tracing information of lockdep can be printed
to pinpoint the code location that disabled interrupts. This saved me
quite a bit of debugging time in cases where the backtrace did not
identify the irq-disabling site well enough.

Currently at a particular domain, each cpu in the sched group will do a
load balance at the frequency of balance_interval. More the cores and
threads, more the cpus will be in each sched group at SMP and NUMA domain.
And we endup spending quite a bit of time doing load balancing in those
domains.
Fix this by making only one cpu(first idle cpu or first cpu in the group if
all the cpus are busy) in the sched group do the load balance at that
particular sched domain and this load will slowly percolate down to the
other cpus with in that group(when they do load balancing at lower
domains).

Co-opt rq->timestamp_last_tick to maintain a cache_hot_time evaluation
reference timestamp at both tick and sched times to prevent said reference,
formerly rq->timestamp_last_tick, from being behind task->last_ran at
evaluation time, and to move said reference closer to current time on the
remote processor, intent being to improve cache hot evaluation and
timestamp adjustment accuracy for task migration.
Fix minor sched_time double accounting error which occurs when a task
passing through schedule() does not schedule off, and takes the next timer
tick.

Large sched domains can be very expensive to scan. Add an option SD_SERIALIZE
to the sched domain flags. If that flag is set then we make sure that no
other such domain is being balanced.

Trigger softirq less frequently
We trigger the softirq before this patch using offset of sd->interval.
However, if the queue is busy then it is sufficient to schedule the softirq
with sd->interval * busy_factor.
So we modify the calculation of the next time to balance by taking
the interval added to last_balance again. This is only the
right value if the idle/busy situation continues as is.
There are two potential trouble spots:
- If the queue was idle and now gets busy then we call rebalance
early. However, that is not a problem because we will then use
the longer interval for the next period.
- If the queue was busy and becomes idle then we potentially
wait too long before rebalancing. However, when the task
goes idle then idle_balance is called. We add another calculation
of the next balance time based on sd->interval in idle_balance
so that we will rebalance soon.
V2->V3:
- Calculate rebalance time based on current jiffies and not
based on the jiffies at the last time we load balanced.
We no longer rely on staggering and therefore we can
affort to do this now.
V3->V4:
- Use functions to do jiffy comparisons.

Call rebalance_tick (renamed to run_rebalance_domains) from a newly introduced
softirq.
We calculate the earliest time for each layer of sched domains to be rescanned
(this is the rescan time for idle) and use the earliest of those to schedule
the softirq via a new field "next_balance" added to struct rq.

A load calculation is always done in rebalance_tick() in addition to the real
load balancing activities that only take place when certain jiffie counts have
been reached. Move that processing into a separate function and call it
directly from scheduler_tick().
Also extract the time slice handling from scheduler_tick and put it into a
separate function. Then we can clean up scheduler_tick significantly. It
will no longer have any gotos.

Timer interrupts already are staggered. We do not need an additional layer of
time staggering for short load balancing actions that take a reasonably small
portion of the time slice.
For load balancing on large sched_domains we will add a serialization later
that avoids concurrent load balance operations and thus has the same effect as
load staggering.

There was lots of #ifdef noise in the kernel due to hotcpu_notifier(fn,
prio) not correctly marking 'fn' as used in the !HOTPLUG_CPU case, and thus
generating compiler warnings of unused symbols, hence forcing people to add
#ifdefs.
the compiler can skip truly unused functions just fine:
