      Fix subtle macro variable shadowing in min_not_zero() · e9092d0d
      由 Linus Torvalds 提交于 
      Commit 3c8ba0d6 ("kernel.h: Retain constant expression output for
max()/min()") rewrote our min/max macros to be very clever, but in the
meantime resurrected a variable name shadow issue that we had had
previously fixed in commit 589a9785 ("min/max: remove sparse
warnings when they're nested").

That commit talks about the sparse warnings that this shadowing causes,
which we ignored as just a minor annoyance.  But it turns out that the
sparse warning is the least of our problems.  We actually have a real
bug due to the shadowing through the interaction with "min_not_zero()",
which ends up doing

   min(__x, __y)

internally, and then the new declaration of "__x" and "__y" as new
variables in __cmp_once() results in a complete mess of an expression,
and "min_not_zero()" doesn't work at all.

For some odd reason, this only ever caused (reported) problems on s390,
even though it is a generic issue and most of the (obviously successful)
testing of the problematic commit had happened on other architectures.

Quoting Sebastian Ott:
 "What happened is that the bio build by the partition detection code
  was attempted to be split by the block layer because the block queue
  had a max_sector setting of 0. blk_queue_max_hw_sectors uses
  min_not_zero."

So re-introduce the use of __UNIQUE_ID() to make sure that the min/max
macros do not have these kinds of clashes.

[ That said, __UNIQUE_ID() itself has several issues that make it less
  than wonderful.

  In particular, the "uniqueness" has a fallback on the line number,
  which means that it's not actually unique in more complex cases if you
  don't build with gcc or clang (which have working unique counters that
  aren't tied to line numbers).

  That historical broken fallback also means that we have that pointless
  "prefix" argument that doesn't actually make much sense _except_ for
  the known-broken case. Oh well. ]

      cpuidle: menu: Refine idle state selection for running tick · 296bb1e5
      由 Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于 
      If the tick isn't stopped, the target residency of the state selected
by the menu governor may be greater than the actual time to the next
tick and that means lost energy.

To avoid that, make tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() return the current
time to the next event (before stopping the tick) in addition to the
estimated one via an extra pointer argument and make menu_select()
use that value to refine the state selection when necessary.

      sched: idle: Select idle state before stopping the tick · 554c8aa8
      由 Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于 
      In order to address the issue with short idle duration predictions
by the idle governor after the scheduler tick has been stopped,
reorder the code in cpuidle_idle_call() so that the governor idle
state selection runs before tick_nohz_idle_go_idle() and use the
"nohz" hint returned by cpuidle_select() to decide whether or not
to stop the tick.

This isn't straightforward, because menu_select() invokes
tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() to get the time to the next timer
event and the number returned by the latter comes from
__tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick().  Fortunately, however, it is possible
to compute that number without actually stopping the tick and with
the help of the existing code.

Namely, tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() can be made call
tick_nohz_next_event(), introduced earlier, to get the time to the
next non-highres timer event.  If that happens, tick_nohz_next_event()
need not be called by __tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() again.

If it turns out that the scheduler tick cannot be stopped going
forward or the next timer event is too close for the tick to be
stopped, tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() can simply return the time to
the next event currently programmed into the corresponding clock
event device.

In addition to knowing the return value of tick_nohz_next_event(),
however, tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() needs to know the time to the
next highres timer event, but with the scheduler tick timer excluded,
which can be computed with the help of hrtimer_get_next_event().

That minimum of that number and the tick_nohz_next_event() return
value is the total time to the next timer event with the assumption
that the tick will be stopped.  It can be returned to the idle
governor which can use it for predicting idle duration (under the
assumption that the tick will be stopped) and deciding whether or
not it makes sense to stop the tick before putting the CPU into the
selected idle state.

With the above, the sleep_length field in struct tick_sched is not
necessary any more, so drop it.
