Reimplement the balance on exec balancing to be sched-domains aware. Use this to also do balance on fork balancing. Make x86_64 do balance on fork over the NUMA domain. The problem that the non sched domains aware blancing became apparent on dual core, multi socket opterons. What we want is for the new tasks to be sent to a different socket, but more often than not, we would first load up our sibling core, or fill two cores of a single remote socket before selecting a new one. This gives large improvements to STREAM on such systems.

Do less affine wakeups. We're trying to reduce dbt2-pgsql idle time regressions here... make sure we don't don't move tasks the wrong way in an imbalance condition. Also, remove the cache coldness requirement from the calculation - this seems to induce sharp cutoff points where behaviour will suddenly change on some workloads if the load creeps slightly over or under some point. It is good for periodic balancing because in that case have otherwise have no other context to determine what task to move. But also make a minor tweak to "wake balancing" - the imbalance tolerance is now set at half the domain's imbalance, so we get the opportunity to do wake balancing before the more random periodic rebalancing gets preformed.

Do CPU load averaging over a number of different intervals. Allow each interval to be chosen by sending a parameter to source_load and target_load. 0 is instantaneous, idx > 0 returns a decaying average with the most recent sample weighted at 2^(idx-1). To a maximum of 3 (could be easily increased). So generally a higher number will result in more conservative balancing.

Remove the special casing for idle CPU balancing. Things like this are hurting for example on SMT, where are single sibling being idle doesn't really warrant a really aggressive pull over the NUMA domain, for example.

SMT balancing has a couple of problems. Firstly, active_load_balance is too complex - basically it should be a dumb helper for when the periodic balancer has determined there is an imbalance, but gets stuck because the task is running. So rip out all its "smarts", and just make it move one task to the target CPU. Second, the busy CPU's sched-domain tree was being used for active balancing. This means that it may not see that nr_balance_failed has reached a critical level. So use the target CPU's sched-domain tree for this. We can do this because we hold its runqueue lock. Lastly, reset nr_balance_failed to a point where we allow cache hot migration. This will help ensure active load balancing is successful. Thanks to Suresh Siddha for pointing out these issues.

Fix up active load balancing a bit so it doesn't get called when it shouldn't. Reset the nr_balance_failed counter at more points where we have found conditions to be balanced. This reduces too aggressive active balancing seen on some workloads.

John Hawkes explained the problem best: A large number of processes that are pinned to a single CPU results in every other CPU's load_balance() seeing this overloaded CPU as "busiest", yet move_tasks() never finds a task to pull-migrate. This condition occurs during module unload, but can also occur as a denial-of-service using sys_sched_setaffinity(). Several hundred CPUs performing this fruitless load_balance() will livelock on the busiest CPU's runqueue lock. A smaller number of CPUs will livelock if the pinned task count gets high. Expanding slightly on John's patch, this one attempts to work out whether the balancing failure has been due to too many tasks pinned on the runqueue. This allows it to be basically invisible to the regular blancing paths (ie. when there are no pinned tasks). We can use this extra knowledge to shut down the balancing faster, and ensure the migration threads don't start running which is another problem observed in the wild.

In the upcoming aio_down patch, it is useful to store a private data pointer in the kiocb's wait_queue. Since we provide our own wake up function and do not require the task_struct pointer, it makes sense to convert the task pointer into a generic private pointer.

In kernel/sched.c the return value from preempt_count() is cast to an int. That made sense when preempt_count was defined as different types on is not needed and should go away. The patch removes the cast. In kernel/timer.c the return value from preempt_count() is assigned to a variable of type u32 and then that unsigned value is later compared to preempt_count(). Since preempt_count() returns an int, an int is what should be used to store its return value. Storing the result in an unsigned 32bit integer made a tiny bit of sense back when preempt_count was different types on different archs, but no more - let's not play signed vs unsigned comparison games when we don't have to. The patch modifies the code to use an int to hold the value. While I was around that bit of code I also made two changes to a nearby (related) printk() - I modified it to specify the loglevel explicitly and also broke the line into a few pieces to avoid it being longer than 80 chars and clarified the text a bit.

This patch implements a number of smp_processor_id() cleanup ideas that Arjan van de Ven and I came up with. The previous __smp_processor_id/_smp_processor_id/smp_processor_id API spaghetti was hard to follow both on the implementational and on the usage side. Some of the complexity arose from picking wrong names, some of the complexity comes from the fact that not all architectures defined __smp_processor_id. In the new code, there are two externally visible symbols: - smp_processor_id(): debug variant. - raw_smp_processor_id(): nondebug variant. Replaces all existing uses of _smp_processor_id() and __smp_processor_id(). Defined by every SMP architecture in include/asm-*/smp.h. There is one new internal symbol, dependent on DEBUG_PREEMPT: - debug_smp_processor_id(): internal debug variant, mapped to smp_processor_id(). Also, i moved debug_smp_processor_id() from lib/kernel_lock.c into a new lib/smp_processor_id.c file. All related comments got updated and/or clarified. I have build/boot tested the following 8 .config combinations on x86: {SMP,UP} x {PREEMPT,!PREEMPT} x {DEBUG_PREEMPT,!DEBUG_PREEMPT} I have also build/boot tested x64 on UP/PREEMPT/DEBUG_PREEMPT. (Other architectures are untested, but should work just fine.)

This patch removes the entwining of cpusets and hotplug code in the "No more Mr. Nice Guy" case of sched.c move_task_off_dead_cpu(). Since the hotplug code is holding a spinlock at this point, we cannot take the cpuset semaphore, cpuset_sem, as would seem to be required either to update the tasks cpuset, or to scan up the nested cpuset chain, looking for the nearest cpuset ancestor that still has some CPUs that are online. So we just punt and blast the tasks cpus_allowed with all bits allowed. This reverts these lines of code to what they were before the cpuset patch. And it updates the cpuset Doc file, to match. The one known alternative to this that seems to work came from Dinakar Guniguntala, and required the hotplug code to take the cpuset_sem semaphore much earlier in its processing. So far as we know, the increased locking entanglement between cpusets and hot plug of this alternative approach is not worth doing in this case.

Add a pair of rlimits for allowing non-root tasks to raise nice and rt priorities. Defaults to traditional behavior. Originally written by Chris Wright. The patch implements a simple rlimit ceiling for the RT (and nice) priorities a task can set. The rlimit defaults to 0, meaning no change in behavior by default. A value of 50 means RT priority levels 1-50 are allowed. A value of 100 means all 99 privilege levels from 1 to 99 are allowed. CAP_SYS_NICE is blanket permission. (akpm: see http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0503.1/1921.html for tips on integrating this with PAM).

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
