Some ARM systems have a short sched_clock() [ which needs to be fixed too ], but this exposed a bug in the irq_time code as well, it doesn't deal with wraps at all. Fix the irq_time code to deal with u64 wraps by re-writing the code to only use delta increments, which avoids the whole issue.

This fixes a bug as seen on 2.6.32 based kernels where timers got enqueued on offline cpus. If a cpu goes offline it might still have pending timers. These will be migrated during CPU_DEAD handling after the cpu is offline. However while the cpu is going offline it will schedule the idle task which will then call tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(). That function in turn will call get_next_timer_intterupt() to figure out if the tick of the cpu can be stopped or not. If it turns out that the next tick is just one jiffy off (delta_jiffies == 1) tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() incorrectly assumes that the tick should not stop and takes an early exit and thus it won't update the load balancer cpu. Just afterwards the cpu will be killed and the load balancer cpu could be the offline cpu. On 2.6.32 based kernel get_nohz_load_balancer() gets called to decide on which cpu a timer should be enqueued (see __mod_timer()). Which leads to the possibility that timers get enqueued on an offline cpu. These will never expire and can cause a system hang. This has been observed 2.6.32 kernels. On current kernels __mod_timer() uses get_nohz_timer_target() which doesn't have that problem. However there might be other problems because of the too early exit tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() in case a cpu goes offline. The easiest and probably safest fix seems to be to let get_next_timer_interrupt() just lie and let it say there isn't any pending timer if the current cpu is offline. I also thought of moving migrate_[hr]timers() from CPU_DEAD to CPU_DYING, but seeing that there already have been fixes at least in the hrtimer code in this area I'm afraid that this could add new subtle bugs.

idle_balance() drops/retakes rq->lock, leaving the previous task vulnerable to set_tsk_need_resched(). Clear it after we return from balancing instead, and in setup_thread_stack() as well, so no successfully descheduled or never scheduled task has it set. Need resched confused the skip_clock_update logic, which assumes that the next call to update_rq_clock() will come nearly immediately after being set. Make the optimization robust against the waking a sleeper before it sucessfully deschedules case by checking that the current task has not been dequeued before setting the flag, since it is that useless clock update we're trying to save, and clear unconditionally in schedule() proper instead of conditionally in put_prev_task().

There's a long-running regression that proved difficult to fix and which is hitting certain people and is rather annoying in its effects. Damien reported that after 74f5187a (sched: Cure load average vs NO_HZ woes) his load average is unnaturally high, he also noted that even with that patch reverted the load avgerage numbers are not correct. The problem is that the previous patch only solved half the NO_HZ problem, it addressed the part of going into NO_HZ mode, not of comming out of NO_HZ mode. This patch implements that missing half. When comming out of NO_HZ mode there are two important things to take care of: - Folding the pending idle delta into the global active count. - Correctly aging the averages for the idle-duration. So with this patch the NO_HZ interaction should be complete and behaviour between CONFIG_NO_HZ=[yn] should be equivalent. Furthermore, this patch slightly changes the load average computation by adding a rounding term to the fixed point multiplication.

Currently the {set,get}_pull callbacks of the s3c24xx_gpiocfg_default structure are initalized via s3c_gpio_{get,set}pull_1up. This results in a linker error when only CONFIG_CPU_S3C2442 is selected: arch/arm/plat-s3c24xx/built-in.o:(.data+0x13f4): undefined reference to `s3c_gpio_getpull_1up' arch/arm/plat-s3c24xx/built-in.o:(.data+0x13f8): undefined reference to `s3c_gpio_setpull_1up' The s3c2442 has pulldowns instead of pullups compared to the s3c2440. The method of controlling them is the same though. So this patch modifies the existing s3c_gpio_{get,set}pull_1up helper functions to take an additional parameter deciding whether the pin has a pullup or pulldown. The s3c_gpio_{get,set}pull_1{down,up} functions then wrap that functions passing either S3C_GPIO_PULL_UP or S3C_GPIO_PULL_DOWN. Furthermore this patch sets up the s3c24xx_gpiocfg_default.{get,set}_pull fields in the s3c244{0,2}_map_io function to the new pulldown helper functions.

With the recent changes to remove the BKL a mutex was added to the ioctl entry point for calls to the old ioctl interface. This mutex needs to be removed because of the need for the expire ioctl to call back to the daemon to perform a umount and receive a completion status (via another ioctl). This should be fine as the new ioctl interface uses much of the same code and it has been used without a mutex for around a year without issue, as was the original intention.

由 Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
There is a problem that swap pages allocated before the creation of a hibernation image can be released and used for storing the contents of different memory pages while the image is being saved. Since the kernel stored in the image doesn't know of that, it causes memory corruption to occur after resume from hibernation, especially on systems with relatively small RAM that need to swap often. This issue can be addressed by keeping the GFP_IOFS bits clear in gfp_allowed_mask during the entire hibernation, including the saving of the image, until the system is finally turned off or the hibernation is aborted. Unfortunately, for this purpose it's necessary to rework the way in which the hibernate and suspend code manipulates gfp_allowed_mask. This change is based on an earlier patch from Hugh Dickins.

This is a fix for reading LZO compressed image using async I/O. Essentially, instead of having just one page into which we keep reading blocks from swap, we allocate enough of them to cover the largest compressed size and then let block I/O pick them all up. Once we have them all (and here we wait), we decompress them, as usual. Obviously, the very first block we still pick up synchronously, because we need to know the size of the lot before we pick up the rest. Also fixed the copyright line, which I've forgotten before.
