improve the sysbench ramp-up phase and its peak throughput on
a 16way NUMA box, by turning on WAKE_AFFINE:

             tip/sched   tip/sched+wake-affine
-------------------------------------------------
    1:             700              830    +15.65%
    2:            1465             1391    -5.28%
    4:            3017             3105    +2.81%
    8:            5100             6021    +15.30%
   16:           10725            10745    +0.19%
   32:           10135            10150    +0.16%
   64:            9338             9240    -1.06%
  128:            8599             8252    -4.21%
  256:            8475             8144    -4.07%
-------------------------------------------------
  SUM:           57558            57882    +0.56%

this change also improves lat_ctx from 6.69 usecs to 1.11 usec:

  $ ./lat_ctx -s 0 2
  "size=0k ovr=1.19
  2 1.11

  $ ./lat_ctx -s 0 2
  "size=0k ovr=1.22
  2 6.69

in sysbench it's an overall win with some weakness at the lots-of-clients
side. That happens because we now under-balance this workload
a bit. To counter that effect, turn on NEWIDLE:

              wake-idle          wake-idle+newidle
 -------------------------------------------------
     1:             830              834    +0.43%
     2:            1391             1401    +0.65%
     4:            3105             3091    -0.43%
     8:            6021             6046    +0.42%
    16:           10745            10736    -0.08%
    32:           10150            10206    +0.55%
    64:            9240             9533    +3.08%
   128:            8252             8355    +1.24%
   256:            8144             8384    +2.87%
 -------------------------------------------------
   SUM:           57882            58591    +1.21%

as a bonus this not only improves the many-clients case but
also improves the (more important) rampup phase.

sysbench is a workload that quickly breaks down if the
scheduler over-balances, so since it showed an improvement
under NEWIDLE this change is definitely good.

Based on Roland's patch. This approach was suggested by Austin Clements
from the very beginning, and then by Linus.

As Austin pointed out, the execing task can be killed by SI_TIMER signal
because exec flushes the signal handlers, but doesn't discard the pending
signals generated by posix timers. Perhaps not a bug, but people find this
surprising. See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10460Signed-off-by: NOleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru>

Currently sigqueue_free() removes sigqueue from list, but doesn't cancel the
pending signal. This is not consistent, the task should either receive the
"full" signal along with siginfo_t, or it shouldn't receive the signal at all.

Change sigqueue_free() to clear SIGQUEUE_PREALLOC but leave sigqueue on list
if it is queued.

This is a user-visible change. If the signal is blocked, it stays queued
after sys_timer_delete() until unblocked with the "stale" si_code/si_value,
and of course it is still counted wrt RLIMIT_SIGPENDING which also limits
the number of posix timers.

On Book-E SMP systems each core has its own private watchdog.  If only one
watchdog is enabled, when the core that doesn't enable the watchdog is hung,
system can't reset because no watchdog is running on it.  That's bad.  It

Somehow the spidev code forgot to include a critical mechanism: when the
underlying device is removed (e.g.  spi_master rmmod), open file
descriptors must be prevented from issuing new I/O requests to that
device.  On penalty of the oopsing reported by Sebastian Siewior
<bigeasy@tglx.de> ...

This is a partial fix, adding handshaking between the lower level (SPI
messaging) and the file operations using the spi_dev.  (It also fixes an
issue where reads and writes didn't return the number of bytes sent or
received.)

There's still a refcounting issue to be addressed (separately).
