Peter Zijlstra noticed the following bug in SCHED_FEAT_SKIP_INITIAL (which
is disabled by default at the moment): it relies on se.wait_start_fair
being 0 while update_stats_wait_end() did not recognize a 0 value,
so instead of 'skipping' the initial interval we gave the new child
a maximum boost of +runtime-limit ...

(No impact on the default kernel, but nice to fix for completeness.)

de-HZ-ification of the granularity defaults unearthed a pre-existing
property of CFS: while it correctly converges to the granularity goal,
it does not prevent run-time fluctuations in the range of
[-gran ... 0 ... +gran].

With the increase of the granularity due to the removal of HZ
dependencies, this becomes visible in chew-max output (with 5 tasks
running):

 out:  28 . 27. 32 | flu:  0 .  0 | ran:    9 .   13 | per:   37 .   40
 out:  27 . 27. 32 | flu:  0 .  0 | ran:   17 .   13 | per:   44 .   40
 out:  27 . 27. 32 | flu:  0 .  0 | ran:    9 .   13 | per:   36 .   40
 out:  29 . 27. 32 | flu:  2 .  0 | ran:   17 .   13 | per:   46 .   40
 out:  28 . 27. 32 | flu:  0 .  0 | ran:    9 .   13 | per:   37 .   40
 out:  29 . 27. 32 | flu:  0 .  0 | ran:   18 .   13 | per:   47 .   40
 out:  28 . 27. 32 | flu:  0 .  0 | ran:    9 .   13 | per:   37 .   40

average slice is the ideal 13 msecs and the period is picture-perfect 40
msecs. But the 'ran' field fluctuates around 13.33 msecs and there's no
mechanism in CFS to keep that from happening: it's a perfectly valid
solution that CFS finds.

to fix this we add a granularity/preemption rule that knows about
the "target latency", which makes tasks that run longer than the ideal
latency run a bit less. The simplest approach is to simply decrease the
preemption granularity when a task overruns its ideal latency. For this
we have to track how much the task executed since its last preemption.

( this adds a new field to task_struct, but we can eliminate that
  overhead in 2.6.24 by putting all the scheduler timestamps into an
  anonymous union. )

with this change in place, chew-max output is fluctuation-less all
around:

 out:  28 . 27. 39 | flu:  0 .  2 | ran:   13 .   13 | per:   41 .   40
 out:  28 . 27. 39 | flu:  0 .  2 | ran:   13 .   13 | per:   41 .   40
 out:  28 . 27. 39 | flu:  0 .  2 | ran:   13 .   13 | per:   41 .   40
 out:  28 . 27. 39 | flu:  0 .  2 | ran:   13 .   13 | per:   41 .   40
 out:  28 . 27. 39 | flu:  0 .  1 | ran:   13 .   13 | per:   41 .   40
 out:  28 . 27. 39 | flu:  0 .  1 | ran:   13 .   13 | per:   41 .   40

this patch has no impact on any fastpath or on any globally observable
scheduling property. (unless you have sharp enough eyes to see
millisecond-level ruckles in glxgears smoothness :-)

There is an Amarok song switch time increase (regression) under
hefty load.

What is happening is that sleeper_bonus is never consumed, and only
rarely goes below runtime_limit, so for the most part, Amarok isn't
getting any bonus at all.  We're keeping sleeper_bonus right at
runtime_limit (sched_latency == sched_runtime_limit == 40ms) forever, ie
we don't consume if we're lower that that, and don't add if we're above
it.  One Amarok thread waking (or anybody else) will push us past the
threshold, so the next thread waking gets nada, but will reap pain from
the previous thread waking until we drop back to runtime_limit.  It
looks to me like under load, some random task gets a bonus, and
everybody else pays, whether deserving or not.

This diff fixed the regression for me at any load rate.

Commit 61ec7567 ('ACPI: boot correctly
with "nosmp" or "maxcpus=0"') broke 'maxcpus=' handling on x86[-64].

maxcpus=N is now having no effect on x86_64, and freezing bootup on i386
(because of inconsistency with the separate maxcpus parsing down in
arch/i386, I guess).  That's because early_param parsing is a little
different from __setup parsing, and needs the "=" omitted: then it seems
to work as the original commit intended (no mention of IO-APIC in
/proc/interrupts when maxcpus=0).

I tried to preserve bridging code as it was before, but logic is quite
strange - I think we should free skb on error, since it is already
unshared and thus will just leak.

Herbert Xu states:

> +	if ((skb = skb_share_check(skb, GFP_ATOMIC)) == NULL)
> +		goto out;

If this happens it'll be a double-free on skb since we'll
return NF_DROP which makes the caller free it too.

We could return NF_STOLEN to prevent that but I'm not sure
whether that's correct netfilter semantics.  Patrick, could
you please make a call on this?
