Caused this 'perf top' crash:

Looking at assembly code, I found:

list = this_cpu_xchg(irq_work_list, NULL);

gives this wrong code : (gcc-4.1.2 cross compiler)

ffffffff810bc45e:
	mov    %gs:0xead0,%rax
	cmpxchg %rax,%gs:0xead0
	jne    ffffffff810bc45e <irq_work_run+0x3e>
	test   %rax,%rax
	je     ffffffff810bc4aa <irq_work_run+0x8a>

Tell gcc we dirty eax/rax register in percpu_xchg_op()

Compiler must use another register to store pxo_new__

We also dont need to reload percpu value after a jump,
since a 'failed' cmpxchg already updated eax/rax

Wrong generated code was :
	xor     %rax,%rax   /* load 0 into %rax */
1:	mov     %gs:0xead0,%rax
	cmpxchg %rax,%gs:0xead0
	jne     1b
	test    %rax,%rax

After patch :

	xor     %rdx,%rdx   /* load 0 into %rdx */
	mov     %gs:0xead0,%rax
1:	cmpxchg %rdx,%gs:0xead0
	jne     1b:
	test    %rax,%rax

In arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack_64.c::dump_trace() we have this code:

...
  		if (!stack) {
  			unsigned long dummy;
  			stack = &dummy;
  			if (task && task != current)
  				stack = (unsigned long *)task->thread.sp;
  		}

  		bp = stack_frame(task, regs);
  		/*
  		 * Print function call entries in all stacks, starting at the
  		 * current stack address. If the stacks consist of nested
  		 * exceptions
  		 */
  		tinfo = task_thread_info(task);

  		for (;;) {
  			char *id;
  			unsigned long *estack_end;
  			estack_end = in_exception_stack(cpu, (unsigned long)stack,
  							&used, &id);
...

You'll notice that we assign to 'stack' the address of the variable
'dummy' which is only in-scope inside the 'if (!stack)'. So when we later
access stack (at the end of the above, and assuming we did not take the
'if (task && task != current)' branch) we'll be using the address of a
variable that is no longer in scope. I believe this patch is the proper
fix, but I freely admit that I'm not 100% certain.

Michael Witten and Christian Kujau reported that the autogroup
scheduling feature hurts interactivity on their UP systems.

It turns out that this is an older bug in the group scheduling code,
and the wider appeal provided by the autogroup feature exposed it
more prominently.

When on UP with FAIR_GROUP_SCHED enabled, tune shares
only affect tg->shares, but is not reflected in
tg->se->load. The reason is that update_cfs_shares()
does nothing on UP.

So introduce update_cfs_shares() for UP && FAIR_GROUP_SCHED.

This issue was found when enable autogroup scheduling was enabled,
but it is an older bug that also exists on cgroup.cpu on UP.

Signed-off-by: NRusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

BUILD_BUG_ON used to use the optimizer to do code elimination or fail
at link time; it was changed to first the size of a negative array (a
nicer compile time error), then (in
8c87df45) to a bitfield.

This forced us to change some non-constant cases to MAYBE_BUILD_BUG_ON();
as Jan points out in that commit, it didn't work as intended anyway.

bitfields: needs a literal constant at parse time, and can't be put under
	"if (__builtin_constant_p(x))" for example.
negative array: can handle anything, but if the compiler can't tell it's
	a constant, silently has no effect.
link time: breaks link if the compiler can't determine the value, but the
	linker output is not usually as informative as a compiler error.

If we use the negative-array-size method *and* the link time trick,
we get the ability to use BUILD_BUG_ON() under __builtin_constant_p()
branches, and maximal ability for the compiler to detect errors at
build time.

We also document it thoroughly.

Currently only drivers that are built as modules have their versions
shown in /sys/module/<module_name>/version, but this information might
also be useful for built-in drivers as well. This especially important
for drivers that do not define any parameters - such drivers, if
built-in, are completely invisible from userspace.

This patch changes MODULE_VERSION() macro so that in case when we are
compiling built-in module, version information is stored in a separate
section. Kernel then uses this data to create 'version' sysfs attribute
in the same fashion it creates attributes for module parameters.

Merge branch 'perf/urgent' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux-2.6 into perf/urgent

ea530692 made a CPU use monitor/mwait
when offline. This is not the optimal choice for AMD wrt to powersavings
and we'd prefer our cores to halt (i.e. enter C1) instead. For this, the
same selection whether to use monitor/mwait has to be used as when we
select the idle routine for the machine.

With this patch, offlining cores 1-5 on a X6 machine allows core0 to
