Since dash2underscore() just operates and returns chars, I guess its safe
to change the return value to a char.  With my .config, this reduces its
size by 5 bytes.

The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe.  There is no
protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
chain is in use.  The issues were discussed in this thread:

    http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2

We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
classes:

	"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
	and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;

	"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
	the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.

We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API.  Therefore
this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
really just the old API under a new name).  New kinds of data structures are
used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
registration, unregistration, and calling a chain.  The three APIs are
explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
kernel/sys.c.

With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
entries being added or removed.  For raw chains the implementation provides no
guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections.  (The
idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
handle these things in their own way.)

There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with.  For
atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem.  Also, a
callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
entries on its own chain.  (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
had to be changed to avoid it.)

Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
spinlocks for synchronization.  Instead we use RCU.  The overhead falls almost
entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
less frequent that calling a chain.

Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications.  None
of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.

  ATOMIC CHAINS
  -------------
arch/i386/kernel/traps.c:		i386die_chain
arch/ia64/kernel/traps.c:		ia64die_chain
arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c:		powerpc_die_chain

net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_chain
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_expect_chain
net/netlink/af_netlink.c:		netlink_chain

  BLOCKING CHAINS
  ---------------
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c:	pSeries_reconfig_chain
arch/s390/kernel/process.c:		idle_chain
arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c		idle_notifier
drivers/base/memory.c:			memory_chain
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_policy_notifier_list
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_transition_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/adb.c:		adb_client_list
drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c		sleep_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c		sleep_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c	wf_client_list
drivers/usb/core/notify.c		usb_notifier_list
drivers/video/fbmem.c			fb_notifier_list
kernel/cpu.c				cpu_chain
kernel/module.c				module_notify_list
kernel/profile.c			munmap_notifier
kernel/profile.c			task_exit_notifier
kernel/sys.c				reboot_notifier_list
net/core/dev.c				netdev_chain
net/decnet/dn_dev.c:			dnaddr_chain
net/ipv4/devinet.c:			inetaddr_chain

It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong.  If they are,
please let us know or submit a patch to fix them.  Note that any chain that
gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
(However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
atomic.)

The patch set was written by Alan Stern and Chandra Seetharaman, incorporating
material written by Keith Owens and suggestions from Paul McKenney and Andrew
Morton.

Add a new sched domain for representing multi-core with shared caches
between cores.  Consider a dual package system, each package containing two
cores and with last level cache shared between cores with in a package.  If
there are two runnable processes, with this appended patch those two
processes will be scheduled on different packages.

On such systems, with this patch we have observed 8% perf improvement with
specJBB(2 warehouse) benchmark and 35% improvement with CFP2000 rate(with 2
users).

This new domain will come into play only on multi-core systems with shared
caches.  On other systems, this sched domain will be removed by domain
degeneration code.  This new domain can be also used for implementing power
savings policy (see OLS 2005 CMP kernel scheduler paper for more details..
I will post another patch for power savings policy soon)

Most of the arch/* file changes are for cpu_coregroup_map() implementation.

Is a truncation error in kernel/sched.c triggered when the nice value is
negative.  The affected code is used in the TASK_INTERACTIVE macro.

The code is:
#define SCALE(v1,v1_max,v2_max) \
	(v1) * (v2_max) / (v1_max)

which is used in this way:
SCALE(TASK_NICE(p), 40, MAX_BONUS)

Comments in the code says:
  * This part scales the interactivity limit depending on niceness.
  *
  * We scale it linearly, offset by the INTERACTIVE_DELTA delta.
  * Here are a few examples of different nice levels:
  *
  *  TASK_INTERACTIVE(-20): [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,0,0]
  *  TASK_INTERACTIVE(-10): [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0]
  *  TASK_INTERACTIVE(  0): [1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]
  *  TASK_INTERACTIVE( 10): [1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]
  *  TASK_INTERACTIVE( 19): [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]
  *
  * (the X axis represents the possible -5 ... 0 ... +5 dynamic
  *  priority range a task can explore, a value of '1' means the
  *  task is rated interactive.)

However, the current code does not scale it linearly and the result differs
from the given examples.  If the mathematical function "floor" is used when
the nice value is negative instead of the truncation one gets when using
integer division, the result conforms to the documentation.

While doing some benchmarks of an Apache/PHP SMP server, I noticed high
oprofile numbers in in_group_p() and _atomic_dec_and_lock().

rank  percent
  1     4.8911 % __link_path_walk
  2     4.8503 % __d_lookup
*3     4.2911 % _atomic_dec_and_lock
  4     3.9307 % __copy_to_user_ll
  5     4.9004 % sysenter_past_esp
*6     3.3248 % in_group_p

It appears that in_group_p() does an uncessary

get_group_info(current->group_info); /* atomic_inc() */
  ... /* access current->group_info */
put_group_info(current->group_info); /* _atomic_dec_and_lock */

It is not necessary to do this, because the current task holds a reference
on its own group_info, and this reference cannot change during the lookup.

This patch deletes the get_group_info()/put_group_info() pair from
sys_getgroups(), in_group_p() and in_egroup_p() functions.

A couple of places are forgetting to take it.

The kswapd case is probably unimportant.  keventd_create_kthread() was racy.

The whole thing is a bit flakey: you start a kernel thread, get its pid from
kernel_thread() then look up its task_struct.

a) It assumes that pid recycling takes a "long" time.

b) We get a task_struct but no reference was taken on it.  The owner of the
   kswapd and kthread task_struct*'s must assume that the new thread won't
   exit unexpectedly.  Because if it does, they're left holding dead memory
   and any attempt to control or stop that task will crash.

This fix prevents re-disabling and enabling of a previously disabled
interrupt.  On an SMP system with irq balancing enabled; If an interrupt is
disabled from within its own interrupt context with disable_irq_nosync and is
also earmarked for processor migration, the interrupt is blindly moved to the
other processor and enabled without regard for its current "enabled" state.
If there is an interrupt pending, it will unexpectedly invoke the irq handler
on the new irq owning processor (even though the irq was previously disabled)

The more intuitive fix would be to invoke disable_irq_nosync and
enable_irq, but since we already have the desc->lock from __do_IRQ, we
cannot call them directly.  Instead we can use the same logic to disable
and enable found in disable_irq_nosync and enable_irq, with regards to the
desc->depth.

This now prevents a disabled interrupt from being re-disabled, and more
importantly prevents a disabled interrupt from being incorrectly enabled on
a different processor.

According to the specification the timevals must be validated and an
errorcode -EINVAL returned in case the timevals are not in canonical form.
This check was never done in Linux.

The pre 2.6.16 code converted invalid timevals silently.  Negative timeouts
were converted by the timeval_to_jiffies conversion to the maximum timeout.

hrtimers and the ktime_t operations expect timevals in canonical form.
Otherwise random results might happen on 32 bits machines due to the
optimized ktime_add/sub operations.  Negative timeouts are treated as
already expired.  This might break applications which work on pre 2.6.16.

To prevent random behaviour and API breakage the timevals are checked and
invalid timevals sanitized in a simliar way as the pre 2.6.16 code did.

Invalid timevals are reported with a per boot limited number of kernel
messages so applications which use this misfeature can be corrected.

After a grace period of one year the sanitizing should be replaced by a
correct validation check.  This is also documented in
Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt

The validation and sanitizing is done inside do_setitimer so all callers
(sys_setitimer, compat_sys_setitimer, osf_setitimer) are catched.

alarm() calls the kernel with an unsigend int timeout in seconds.  The
value is stored in the tv_sec field of a struct timeval to setup the
itimer.  The tv_sec field of struct timeval is of type long, which causes
the tv_sec value to be negative on 32 bit machines if seconds > INT_MAX.

Before the hrtimer merge (pre 2.6.16) such a negative value was converted
to the maximum jiffies timeout by the timeval_to_jiffies conversion.  It's
not clear whether this was intended or just happened to be done by the
timeval_to_jiffies code.

hrtimers expect a timeval in canonical form and treat a negative timeout as
already expired.  This breaks the legitimate usage of alarm() with a
timeout value > INT_MAX seconds.

For 32 bit machines it is therefor necessary to limit the internal seconds
value to avoid API breakage.  Instead of doing this in all implementations
of sys_alarm the duplicated sys_alarm code is moved into a common function
in itimer.c
