Change the group_imb detection from the old 'load-spike' detector to
an actual imbalance detector. We set it from the lower domain balance
pass when it fails to create a balance in the presence of task
affinities.

The advantage is that this should no longer generate the false
positive group_imb conditions generated by transient load spikes from
the normal balancing/bulk-wakeup etc. behaviour.

While I haven't actually observed those they could happen.

I'm not entirely happy with this patch; it somehow feels a little
fragile.

Nor does it solve the biggest issue I have with the group_imb code; it
it still a fragile construct in that once we 'fixed' the imbalance
we'll not detect the group_imb again and could end up re-creating it.

That said, this patch does seem to preserve behaviour for the
described degenerate case. In particular on my 2*6*2 wsm-ep:

  taskset -c 3-11 bash -c 'for ((i=0;i<9;i++)) do while :; do :; done & done'

ends up with 9 spinners, each on their own CPU; whereas if you disable
the group_imb code that typically doesn't happen (you'll get one pair
sharing a CPU most of the time).

2bd2d6f2 ("sched: Replace use of entity_key()") had remove the
entity_key() which function is to subtract a tasks vruntime by

The phrase "there is a subtraction using rq->cfs.min_vruntime

and meaningless. So remove it.

There is a small race between copy_process() and cgroup_attach_task()
where child->se.parent,cfs_rq points to invalid (old) ones.

        parent doing fork()      | someone moving the parent to another cgroup
  -------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
    copy_process()
      + dup_task_struct()
        -> parent->se is copied to child->se.
           se.parent,cfs_rq of them point to old ones.

      + cgroup_fork()
        -> parent->cgroup is copied to child->cgroup. (*1)
      + sched_fork()
        + task_fork_fair()
          -> se.parent,cfs_rq of child are accessed
             while they point to old ones. (*2)

In the worst case, this bug can lead to "use-after-free" and cause a panic,
because it's new cgroup's refcount that is incremented at (*1),
so the old cgroup(and related data) can be freed before (*2).

In fact, a panic caused by this bug was originally caught in RHEL6.4.

Commit 23f0d209 ("sched: Factor out code to should_we_balance()")
introduces the should_we_balance() function.  This function should
return 1 if this cpu is appropriate for balancing. But the newly
introduced code doesn't do so, it returns 0 instead of 1.

This introduces performance regression, reported by Dave Chinner:

                        v4 filesystem           v5 filesystem
3.11+xfsdev:            220k files/s            225k files/s
3.12-git                180k files/s            185k files/s
3.12-git-revert         245k files/s            247k files/s

You can find more detailed information at:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/9/10/1

This patch corrects the return value of should_we_balance()
function as orignally intended.

With this patch, Dave Chinner reports that the regression is gone:

                        v4 filesystem           v5 filesystem

        . Honor target pid / tid options when analyzing a file, by David Ahern.

        . Remove odd build stall by moving a large struct initialization
          from a local variable to a global one, by Namhyung Kim.

   - 'perf stat' enhancements:

        . Add --initial-delay option to skip measuring for a defined
          startup phase, by Andi Kleen.

   - Generic perf tooling infrastructure/plumbing changes:

        . Improve robustness of the topology parsing code,
          by Stephane Eranian.

        . Add group leader sampling, that allows just one event in a group

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot of activities on the cgroup front.  Most changes aren't visible
  to userland at all at this point and are laying foundation for the
  planned unified hierarchy.

   - The biggest change is decoupling the lifetime management of css
     (cgroup_subsys_state) from that of cgroup's.  Because controllers
     (cpu, memory, block and so on) will need to be dynamically enabled
     and disabled, css which is the association point between a cgroup
     and a controller may come and go dynamically across the lifetime of
     a cgroup.  Till now, css's were created when the associated cgroup
     was created and stayed till the cgroup got destroyed.

     Assumptions around this tight coupling permeated through cgroup
     core and controllers.  These assumptions are gradually removed,
     which consists bulk of patches, and css destruction path is
     completely decoupled from cgroup destruction path.  Note that
     decoupling of creation path is relatively easy on top of these
     changes and the patchset is pending for the next window.

   - cgroup has its own event mechanism cgroup.event_control, which is
     only used by memcg.  It is overly complex trying to achieve high
     flexibility whose benefits seem dubious at best.  Going forward,
     new events will simply generate file modified event and the
     existing mechanism is being made specific to memcg.  This pull
     request contains prepatory patches for such change.

   - Various fixes and cleanups"

Pull tty/serial driver patches from Greg KH:
 "Here's the big tty/serial driver pull request for 3.12-rc1.

  Lots of n_tty reworks to resolve some very long-standing issues,
  removing the 3-4 different locks that were taken for every character.
  This code has been beaten on for a long time in linux-next with no
  reported regressions.

  Other than that, a range of serial and tty driver updates and
  revisions.  Full details in the shortlog"

Pull staging tree merge from Greg KH:
 "Here's the bit staging tree pull request for 3.12-rc1.

  Lots of staging driver updates, and fixes.  Lustre is finally enabled
  in the build, and lots of cleanup started happening in it.  There's a
  new wireless driver in here, and 2 new TTY drivers, which cause the
  overall lines added/removed to be quite large on the "added" side.

  The IIO driver updates are also coming through here, as they are tied
  to the staging iio drivers"
