c3921ab715 Add new 'cond_resched_bkl()' helper function
It acts exactly like a regular 'cond_resched()', but will not get
optimized away when CONFIG_PREEMPT is set.

Normal kernel code is already preemptable in the presense of
CONFIG_PREEMPT, so cond_resched() is optimized away (see commit
02b67cc3ba "sched: do not do
cond_resched() when CONFIG_PREEMPT").

But when wanting to conditionally reschedule while holding a lock, you
need to use "cond_sched_lock(lock)", and the new function is the BKL
equivalent of that.

Also make fs/locks.c use it.

8e3e076c5a BKL: revert back to the old spinlock implementation
The generic semaphore rewrite had a huge performance regression on AIM7
(and potentially other BKL-heavy benchmarks) because the generic
semaphores had been rewritten to be simple to understand and fair.  The
latter, in particular, turns a semaphore-based BKL implementation into a
mess of scheduling.

The attempt to fix the performance regression failed miserably (see the
previous commit 00b41ec261 'Revert
"semaphore: fix"'), and so for now the simple and sane approach is to
instead just go back to the old spinlock-based BKL implementation that
never had any issues like this.

This patch also has the advantage of being reported to fix the
regression completely according to Yanmin Zhang, unlike the semaphore
hack which still left a couple percentage point regression.

As a spinlock, the BKL obviously has the potential to be a latency
issue, but it's not really any different from any other spinlock in that
respect.  We do want to get rid of the BKL asap, but that has been the
plan for several years.

These days, the biggest users are in the tty layer (open/release in
particular) and Alan holds out some hope:

  "tty release is probably a few months away from getting cured - I'm
   afraid it will almost certainly be the very last user of the BKL in
   tty to get fixed as it depends on everything else being sanely locked."

so while we're not there yet, we do have a plan of action.

3e51f33fcc sched: add optional support for CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK
this replaces the rq->clock stuff (and possibly cpu_clock()).

 - architectures that have an 'imperfect' hardware clock can set
   CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK

 - the 'jiffie' window might be superfulous when we update tick_gtod
   before the __update_sched_clock() call in sched_clock_tick()

 - cpu_clock() might be implemented as:

     sched_clock_cpu(smp_processor_id())

   if the accuracy proves good enough - how far can TSC drift in a
   single jiffie when considering the filtering and idle hooks?

dfbf4a1bc3 sched: fix cpu clock
David Miller pointed it out that nothing in cpu_clock() sets
prev_cpu_time. This caused __sync_cpu_clock() to be called
all the time - against the intention of this code.

The result was that in practice we hit a global spinlock every
time cpu_clock() is called - which - even though cpu_clock()
is used for tracing and debugging, is suboptimal.

While at it, also:

- move the irq disabling to the outest layer,
  this should make cpu_clock() warp-free when called with irqs
  enabled.

- use long long instead of cycles_t - for platforms where cycles_t
  is 32-bit.

cb4ad1ffc7 sched: fair-group: fix a Div0 error of the fair group scheduler
When I echoed 0 into the "cpu.shares" file, a Div0 error occured.

We found it is caused by the following calling.

   sched_group_set_shares(tg, shares)
       set_se_shares(tg->se[i], shares/nr_cpu_ids)
           __set_se_shares(se, shares)
               div64_64((1ULL<<32), shares)

When the echoed value was less than the number of processores, the result of the
sentence "shares/nr_cpu_ids" was 0, and then the system called div64() to divide
the result, the Div0 error occured.

It is unnecessary that the shares value is divided by nr_cpu_ids, I think.
Because in the function  __update_group_shares_cpu() and init_tg_cfs_entry(),
the shares value isn't divided by nr_cpu_ids when setting shares of the sched
entity.

This patch fixes this bug. And echoing ULONG_MAX value into cpu.shares also
causes Div0 error, so we set a macro MAX_SHARES to limit the max value of
shares.

712555ee4f sched: fix missing locking in sched_domains code
Concurrent calls to detach_destroy_domains and arch_init_sched_domains
were prevented by the old scheduler subsystem cpu hotplug mutex. When
this got converted to get_online_cpus() the locking got broken.
Unlike before now several processes can concurrently enter the critical
sections that were protected by the old lock.

So use the already present doms_cur_mutex to protect these sections again.

3f5087a2ba sched: fix share (re)distribution
fix __aggregate_redistribute_shares() related lockup reported by
David S. Miller.

The problem this code tries to solve is 'accurately' calculating the 'fair'
share of the group weight for each cpu. The current code falls back to a global
group rebalance in case the sched_domain's span it looks at has no shares, but
does have tasks.

The reason it gets stuck here, is because its inherently racy - if someone
steals the last task after we compute the agg->rq_weight, but before we
rebalance, we'll never get out of the loop.

We could of course go fix that, but while looking at this issue I found that
this 'fallback' wasn't nearly as rare as I'd hoped it to be. In fact its quite
common - and given it walks the whole machine, thats very bad.

The new approach is simple (why didn't I think of it before?), we set the
aggregate shares to the full task group weight, and each larger sched domain
that encounters an aggregate shares larger than the weight, clips it (it
already re-distributes anyway).

This nicely converges to the desired global picture where the sum of all
shares equals the task group weight.

8f1bc385cf sched: fair: weight calculations
In order to level the hierarchy, we need to calculate load based on the
root view. That is, each task's load is in the same unit.

             A
            / \
           B   1
          / \
         2   3

To compute 1's load we do:

	   weight(1)
	--------------
	 rq_weight(A)

To compute 2's load we do:

	  weight(2)      weight(B)
	------------ * -----------
	rq_weight(B)   rw_weight(A)

This yields load fractions in comparable units.

The consequence is that it changes virtual time. We used to have:

                time_{i}
  vtime_{i} = ------------
               weight_{i}

  vtime = \Sum vtime_{i} = time / rq_weight.

But with the new way of load calculation we get that vtime equals time.

Implement SMP nice support for the full group hierarchy.

On each load-balance action, compile a sched_domain wide view of the full
task_group tree. We compute the domain wide view when walking down the
hierarchy, and readjust the weights when walking back up.

After collecting and readjusting the domain wide view, we try to balance the
tasks within the task_groups. The current approach is a naively balance each
task group until we've moved the targeted amount of load.

Inspired by Srivatsa Vaddsgiri's previous code and Abhishek Chandra's H-SMP
paper.

XXX: there will be some numerical issues due to the limited nature of
     SCHED_LOAD_SCALE wrt to representing a task_groups influence on the
     total weight. When the tree is deep enough, or the task weight small
     enough, we'll run out of bits.

optimization help, it may not introduce any additional overhead.

Additionally, to enforce the read only nature of the new_mask arg, the
"const" property is migrated to sub-functions called by set_cpus_allowed.
This silences compiler warnings.

    in SD_*_INIT macros.  Use memset(0) to clear.  Also, don't
    inline the initializer functions to save on stack space in
    build_sched_domains().

  * Merge change to include/linux/topology.h that uses the new
    node_to_cpumask_ptr function in the nr_cpus_node macro into
    this patch.

Depends on:
	[mm-patch]: asm-generic-add-node_to_cpumask_ptr-macro.patch
	[sched-devel]: sched: add new set_cpus_allowed_ptr function

434d53b00d sched: remove fixed NR_CPUS sized arrays in kernel_sched_c
* Change fixed size arrays to per_cpu variables or dynamically allocated
   arrays in sched_init() and sched_init_smp().

     (1) static struct sched_entity *init_sched_entity_p[NR_CPUS];
     (1) static struct cfs_rq *init_cfs_rq_p[NR_CPUS];
     (1) static struct sched_rt_entity *init_sched_rt_entity_p[NR_CPUS];
     (1) static struct rt_rq *init_rt_rq_p[NR_CPUS];
	 static struct sched_group **sched_group_nodes_bycpu[NR_CPUS];

     (1) - these arrays are allocated via alloc_bootmem_low()

 * Change sched_domain_debug_one() to use cpulist_scnprintf instead of
   cpumask_scnprintf.  This reduces the output buffer required and improves
   readability when large NR_CPU count machines arrive.

 * In sched_create_group() we allocate new arrays based on nr_cpu_ids.

0297b80339 sched: allow cpuacct stats to be reset
Currently the schedstats implementation does not allow the statistics
to be reset. This patch aims to allow that.

  echo 0 > cpuacct.usage

resets the usage. Any other value is not allowed and returns -EINVAL.

ac086bc229 sched: rt-group: smp balancing
Currently the rt group scheduling does a per cpu runtime limit, however
the rt load balancer makes no guarantees about an equal spread of real-
time tasks, just that at any one time, the highest priority tasks run.

Solve this by making the runtime limit a global property by borrowing
excessive runtime from the other cpus once the local limit runs out.

d0b27fa778 sched: rt-group: synchonised bandwidth period
Various SMP balancing algorithms require that the bandwidth period
run in sync.

Possible improvements are moving the rt_bandwidth thing into root_domain
