As of commit dcce284a ("mm: Extend gfp masking to the page
allocator") and commit 7e85ee0c ("slab,slub: don't enable
interrupts during early boot"), the slab allocator makes
sure we don't attempt to sleep during boot.

Therefore, remove bootmem special cases from the scheduler
and use plain GFP_KERNEL instead.

Commit 3a101d05 (sched: adjust when cpu_active and cpuset
configurations are updated during cpu on/offlining) added
hotplug notifiers marked with __cpuexit; however, ia64 drops
text in __cpuexit during link unlike x86.

This means that functions which are referenced during init but used
only for cpu hot unplugging afterwards shouldn't be marked with
__cpuexit. Drop __cpuexit from those functions.

In the new push model, all idle CPUs indeed go into nohz mode. There is
still the concept of idle load balancer (performing the load balancing
on behalf of all the idle cpu's in the system). Busy CPU kicks the nohz
balancer when any of the nohz CPUs need idle load balancing.
The kickee CPU does the idle load balancing on behalf of all idle CPUs
instead of the normal idle balance.

This addresses the below two problems with the current nohz ilb logic:
* the idle load balancer continued to have periodic ticks during idle and
  wokeup frequently, even though it did not have any rebalancing to do on
  behalf of any of the idle CPUs.
* On x86 and CPUs that have APIC timer stoppage on idle CPUs, this
  periodic wakeup can result in a periodic additional interrupt on a CPU
  doing the timer broadcast.

Also currently we are migrating the unpinned timers from an idle to the cpu
doing idle load balancing (when all the cpus in the system are idle,
there is no idle load balancing cpu and timers get added to the same idle cpu
where the request was made. So the existing optimization works only on semi idle
system).

And In semi idle system, we no longer have periodic ticks on the idle load
balancer CPU. Using that cpu will add more delays to the timers than intended
(as that cpu's timer base may not be uptodate wrt jiffies etc). This was
causing mysterious slowdowns during boot etc.

For now, in the semi idle case, use the nearest busy cpu for migrating timers
from an idle cpu.  This is good for power-savings anyway.

tickless idle has a negative side effect on update_cpu_load(), which
in turn can affect load balancing behavior.

update_cpu_load() is supposed to be called every tick, to keep track
of various load indicies. With tickless idle, there are no scheduler
ticks called on the idle CPUs. Idle CPUs may still do load balancing
(with idle_load_balance CPU) using the stale cpu_load. It will also
cause problems when all CPUs go idle for a while and become active
again. In this case loads would not degrade as expected.

This is how rq->nr_load_updates change looks like under different
conditions:

<cpu_num> <nr_load_updates change>

That is update_cpu_load works properly only when all CPUs are busy.
If all are idle, all the CPUs get way lower updates.  And when few
CPUs are busy and rest are idle, only busy and ilb CPU does proper
updates and rest of the idle CPUs will do lower updates.

The patch keeps track of when a last update was done and fixes up
the load avg based on current time.

On one of my test system SPECjbb with warehouse 1..numcpus, patch
improves throughput numbers by ~1% (average of 6 runs).  On another
test system (with different domain hierarchy) there is no noticable
change in perf.

- Contrary to what 6d558c3a says, there is no need to reload
  prev = rq->curr after the context switch. You always schedule
  back to where you came from, prev must be equal to current
  even if cpu/rq was changed.

- This also means reacquire_kernel_lock() can use prev instead

- No need to reassign switch_count if reacquire_kernel_lock()
  reports need_resched(), we can just move the initial assignment
  down, under the "need_resched_nonpreemptible:" label.

Concurrency managed workqueue needs to know when workers are going to
sleep and waking up.  Using these two hooks, cmwq keeps track of the
current concurrency level and throttles execution of new works if it's
too high and wakes up another worker from the sleep hook if it becomes
too low.

This patch introduces PF_WQ_WORKER to identify workqueue workers and
adds the following two hooks.

* wq_worker_waking_up(): called when a worker is woken up.

* wq_worker_sleeping(): called when a worker is going to sleep and may
  return a pointer to a local task which should be woken up.  The
  returned task is woken up using try_to_wake_up_local() which is
  simplified ttwu which is called under rq lock and can only wake up
  local tasks.

Both hooks are currently defined as noop in kernel/workqueue_sched.h.
Later cmwq implementation will replace them with proper
implementation.

These hooks are hard coded as they'll always be enabled.

Currently, when a cpu goes down, cpu_active is cleared before
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE starts and cpuset configuration is updated from a
default priority cpu notifier.  When a cpu is coming up, it's set
before CPU_ONLINE but cpuset configuration again is updated from the
same cpu notifier.

For cpu notifiers, this presents an inconsistent state.  Threads which
a CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifier expects to be bound to the CPU can be
migrated to other cpus because the cpu is no more inactive.

Fix it by updating cpu_active in the highest priority cpu notifier and
cpuset configuration in the second highest when a cpu is coming up.
Down path is updated similarly.  This guarantees that all other cpu
notifiers see consistent cpu_active and cpuset configuration.

cpuset_track_online_cpus() notifier is converted to
cpuset_update_active_cpus() which just updates the configuration and
now called from cpuset_cpu_[in]active() notifiers registered from
sched_init_smp().  If cpuset is disabled, cpuset_update_active_cpus()
degenerates into partition_sched_domains() making separate notifier
for !CONFIG_CPUSETS unnecessary.

This problem is triggered by cmwq.  During CPU_DOWN_PREPARE, hotplug
callback creates a kthread and kthread_bind()s it to the target cpu,
and the thread is expected to run on that cpu.

* Ingo's test discovered __cpuinit/exit markups were incorrect.
  Fixed.

PROVE_RCU has a few issues with the cpu_cgroup because the scheduler
typically holds rq->lock around the css rcu derefs but the generic
cgroup code doesn't (and can't) know about that lock.

Provide means to add extra checks to the css dereference and use that
in the scheduler to annotate its users.

The addition of rq->lock to these checks is correct because the
cgroup_subsys::attach() method takes the rq->lock for each task it
moves, therefore by holding that lock, we ensure the task is pinned to
the current cgroup and the RCU derefence is valid.

That leaves one genuine race in __sched_setscheduler() where we used
task_group() without holding any of the required locks and thus raced
with the cgroup code. Solve this by moving the check under the
appropriate lock.

Since nobody should be using se->weight for RT tasks, set the value to
zero. Also, since we now use ->cpu_power to normalize rq weights to
account for RT cpu usage, add that factor into the imbalance computation.

New wait_event_interruptible{,_exclusive}_locked{,_irq} macros added.
They work just like versions without _locked* suffix but require the
wait queue's lock to be held.  Also __wake_up_locked() is now exported
as to pair it with the above macros.

The use case of this new facility is when one uses wait queue's lock
to  protect a data structure.  This may be advantageous if the
structure needs to be protected by a spinlock anyway.  In particular,
with additional spinlock the following code has to be used to wait
for a condition:

spin_lock(&data.lock);
...
for (ret = 0; !ret && !(condition); ) {
	spin_unlock(&data.lock);
	ret = wait_event_interruptible(data.wqh, (condition));
	spin_lock(&data.lock);
}
...
spin_unlock(&data.lock);

This looks bizarre plus wait_event_interruptible() locks the wait
queue's lock anyway so there is a unlock+lock sequence where it could
be avoided.

To avoid those problems and benefit from wait queue's lock, a code
similar to the following should be used:

/* Waiting */
spin_lock(&data.wqh.lock);
...
ret = wait_event_interruptible_locked(data.wqh, (condition));
...
spin_unlock(&data.wqh.lock);

/* Waiting exclusively */
spin_lock(&data.whq.lock);
...
ret = wait_event_interruptible_exclusive_locked(data.whq, (condition));
...
spin_unlock(&data.whq.lock);

/* Waking up */
spin_lock(&data.wqh.lock);
...
wake_up_locked(&data.wqh);
...
spin_unlock(&data.wqh.lock);

When spin_lock_irq() is used matching versions of macros need to be
used (*_locked_irq()).

The addition of preemptible RCU to treercu resulted in a bit of
confusion and inefficiency surrounding the handling of context switches
for RCU-sched and for RCU-preempt.  For RCU-sched, a context switch
is a quiescent state, pure and simple, just like it always has been.
For RCU-preempt, a context switch is in no way a quiescent state, but
special handling is required when a task blocks in an RCU read-side
critical section.

However, the callout from the scheduler and the outer loop in ksoftirqd
still calls something named rcu_sched_qs(), whose name is no longer
accurate.  Furthermore, when rcu_check_callbacks() notes an RCU-sched
quiescent state, it ends up unnecessarily (though harmlessly, aside
from the performance hit) enqueuing the current task if it happens to
be running in an RCU-preempt read-side critical section.  This not only
increases the maximum latency of scheduler_tick(), it also needlessly
increases the overhead of the next outermost rcu_read_unlock() invocation.

This patch addresses this situation by separating the notion of RCU's
context-switch handling from that of RCU-sched's quiescent states.
The context-switch handling is covered by rcu_note_context_switch() in
general and by rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() for preemptible RCU.
This permits rcu_sched_qs() to handle quiescent states and only quiescent
states.  It also reduces the maximum latency of scheduler_tick(), though
probably by much less than a microsecond.  Finally, it means that tasks
within preemptible-RCU read-side critical sections avoid incurring the
overhead of queuing unless there really is a context switch.

Currently migration_thread is serving three purposes - migration
pusher, context to execute active_load_balance() and forced context
switcher for expedited RCU synchronize_sched.  All three roles are
hardcoded into migration_thread() and determining which job is
scheduled is slightly messy.

This patch kills migration_thread and replaces all three uses with
cpu_stop.  The three different roles of migration_thread() are
splitted into three separate cpu_stop callbacks -
migration_cpu_stop(), active_load_balance_cpu_stop() and
synchronize_sched_expedited_cpu_stop() - and each use case now simply
asks cpu_stop to execute the callback as necessary.

synchronize_sched_expedited() was implemented with private
preallocated resources and custom multi-cpu queueing and waiting
logic, both of which are provided by cpu_stop.
synchronize_sched_expedited_count is made atomic and all other shared
resources along with the mutex are dropped.

synchronize_sched_expedited() also implemented a check to detect cases
where not all the callback got executed on their assigned cpus and
fall back to synchronize_sched().  If called with cpu hotplug blocked,
cpu_stop already guarantees that and the condition cannot happen;
otherwise, stop_machine() would break.  However, this patch preserves
the paranoid check using a cpumask to record on which cpus the stopper
ran so that it can serve as a bisection point if something actually
goes wrong theree.

Because the internal execution state is no longer visible,
rcu_expedited_torture_stats() is removed.

This patch also renames cpu_stop threads to from "stopper/%d" to
"migration/%d".  The names of these threads ultimately don't matter
and there's no reason to make unnecessary userland visible changes.

With this patch applied, stop_machine() and sched now share the same
resources.  stop_machine() is faster without wasting any resources and
sched migration users are much cleaner.

taskset on 2.6.34-rc3 fails on one of my ppc64 test boxes with
the following error:

  sched_getaffinity(0, 16, 0x10029650030) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)

This box has 128 threads and 16 bytes is enough to cover it.

Commit cd3d8031 (sched:
sched_getaffinity(): Allow less than NR_CPUS length) is
comparing this 16 bytes agains nr_cpu_ids.

Fix it by comparing nr_cpu_ids to the number of bits in the
cpumask we pass in.

In order to reduce the dependency on TASK_WAKING rework the enqueue
interface to support a proper flags field.

Replace the int wakeup, bool head arguments with an int flags argument
and create the following flags:

  ENQUEUE_WAKEUP - the enqueue is a wakeup of a sleeping task,
  ENQUEUE_WAKING - the enqueue has relative vruntime due to
                   having sched_class::task_waking() called,
  ENQUEUE_HEAD - the waking task should be places on the head
                 of the priority queue (where appropriate).

For symmetry also convert sched_class::dequeue() to a flags scheme.

The cpuload calculation in calc_load_account_active() assumes
rq->nr_uninterruptible will not change on an offline cpu after
migrate_nr_uninterruptible(). However the recent migrate on wakeup
changes broke that and would result in decrementing the offline cpu's
rq->nr_uninterruptible.

Fix this by accounting the nr_uninterruptible on the waking cpu.

Now that we hold the rq->lock over set_task_cpu() again, we can do
away with most of the TASK_WAKING checks and reduce them again to
set_cpus_allowed_ptr().

Removes some conditionals from scheduling hot-paths.

Oleg noticed a few races with the TASK_WAKING usage on fork.

 - since TASK_WAKING is basically a spinlock, it should be IRQ safe
 - since we set TASK_WAKING (*) without holding rq->lock it could
   be there still is a rq->lock holder, thereby not actually
   providing full serialization.

(*) in fact we clear PF_STARTING, which in effect enables TASK_WAKING.

Cure the second issue by not setting TASK_WAKING in sched_fork(), but
only temporarily in wake_up_new_task() while calling select_task_rq().

Cure the first by holding rq->lock around the select_task_rq() call,
this will disable IRQs, this however requires that we push down the
rq->lock release into select_task_rq_fair()'s cgroup stuff.

Because select_task_rq_fair() still needs to drop the rq->lock we
cannot fully get rid of TASK_WAKING.

Introduce cpuset_cpus_allowed_fallback() helper to fix the cpuset problems
with select_fallback_rq(). It can be called from any context and can't use
any cpuset locks including task_lock(). It is called when the task doesn't
have online cpus in ->cpus_allowed but ttwu/etc must be able to find a
suitable cpu.

I am not proud of this patch. Everything which needs such a fat comment
can't be good even if correct. But I'd prefer to not change the locking
rules in the code I hardly understand, and in any case I believe this
simple change make the code much more correct compared to deadlocks we
currently have.

_cpu_down() changes the current task's affinity and then recovers it at
the end. The problems are well known: we can't restore old_allowed if it
was bound to the now-dead-cpu, and we can race with the userspace which
can change cpu-affinity during unplug.

_cpu_down() should not play with current->cpus_allowed at all. Instead,
take_cpu_down() can migrate the caller of _cpu_down() after __cpu_disable()
removes the dying cpu from cpu_online_mask.

sched_exec()->select_task_rq() reads/updates ->cpus_allowed lockless.
This can race with other CPUs updating our ->cpus_allowed, and this
looks meaningless to me.

The task is current and running, it must have online cpus in ->cpus_allowed,
the fallback mode is bogus. And, if ->sched_class returns the "wrong" cpu,
this likely means we raced with set_cpus_allowed() which was called
for reason, why should sched_exec() retry and call ->select_task_rq()
again?

Change the code to call sched_class->select_task_rq() directly and do
nothing if the returned cpu is wrong after re-checking under rq->lock.

From now task_struct->cpus_allowed is always stable under TASK_WAKING,
select_fallback_rq() is always called under rq-lock or the caller or
the caller owns TASK_WAKING (select_task_rq).

The previous patch preserved the retry logic, but it looks unneeded.

__migrate_task() can only fail if we raced with migration after we dropped
the lock, but in this case the caller of set_cpus_allowed/etc must initiate
migration itself if ->on_rq == T.

We already fixed p->cpus_allowed, the changes in active/online masks must
be visible to racer, it should migrate the task to online cpu correctly.

move_task_off_dead_cpu()->select_fallback_rq() reads/updates ->cpus_allowed
lockless. We can race with set_cpus_allowed() running in parallel.

Change it to take rq->lock around select_fallback_rq(). Note that it is not
trivial to move this spin_lock() into select_fallback_rq(), we must recheck
the task was not migrated after we take the lock and other callers do not
need this lock.

To avoid the races with other callers of select_fallback_rq() which rely on
TASK_WAKING, we also check p->state != TASK_WAKING and do nothing otherwise.
The owner of TASK_WAKING must update ->cpus_allowed and choose the correct
CPU anyway, and the subsequent __migrate_task() is just meaningless because
p->se.on_rq must be false.

Alternatively, we could change select_task_rq() to take rq->lock right
after it calls sched_class->select_task_rq(), but this looks a bit ugly.

Also, change it to not assume irqs are disabled and absorb __migrate_task_irq().

This patch just states the fact the cpusets/cpuhotplug interaction is
broken and removes the deadlockable code which only pretends to work.

- cpuset_lock() doesn't really work. It is needed for
  cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked() but we can't take this lock in
  try_to_wake_up()->select_fallback_rq() path.

- cpuset_lock() is deadlockable. Suppose that a task T bound to CPU takes
  callback_mutex. If cpu_down(CPU) happens before T drops callback_mutex
  stop_machine() preempts T, then migration_call(CPU_DEAD) tries to take
  cpuset_lock() and hangs forever because CPU is already dead and thus
  T can't be scheduled.

- cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked() is deadlockable too. It takes task_lock()
  which is not irq-safe, but try_to_wake_up() can be called from irq.

Kill them, and change select_fallback_rq() to use cpu_possible_mask, like
we currently do without CONFIG_CPUSETS.

Also, with or without this patch, with or without CONFIG_CPUSETS, the
callers of select_fallback_rq() can race with each other or with
set_cpus_allowed() pathes.

The subsequent patches try to to fix these problems.
