cpumask: remove cpumask_t from core
Impact: cleanup

struct cpumask is nicer, and we use it to make where we've made code
safe for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y.

cpumask: convert rcutorture.c
We're getting rid of cpumasks on the stack.

Simply change tmp_mask to a global, and allocate it in
rcu_torture_init().

cpumask: use mm_cpumask() wrapper: kernel/fork.c
Impact: futureproof

Makes code futureproof against the impending change to mm->cpu_vm_mask.

It's also a chance to use the new cpumask_ ops which take a pointer.

cpumask: use set_cpu_active in init/main.c
cpu_active_map is deprecated in favor of cpu_active_mask, which is
const for safety: we use accessors now (set_cpu_active) is we really
want to make a change.

cpumask: remove dangerous CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR, &CPU_MASK_ALL
Impact: cleanup

(Thanks to Al Viro for reminding me of this, via Ingo)

CPU_MASK_ALL is the (deprecated) "all bits set" cpumask, defined as so:

	#define CPU_MASK_ALL (cpumask_t) { { ... } }

Taking the address of such a temporary is questionable at best,
unfortunately 321a8e9d (cpumask: add CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR macro) added
CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR:

	#define CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR (&CPU_MASK_ALL)

Which formalizes this practice.  One day gcc could bite us over this
usage (though we seem to have gotten away with it so far).

So replace everywhere which used &CPU_MASK_ALL or CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR
with the modern "cpu_all_mask" (a real const struct cpumask *).

vfs: simple_set_mnt() should return void
simple_set_mnt() is defined as returning 'int' but always returns 0.
Callers assume simple_set_mnt() never fails and don't properly cleanup if
it were to _ever_ fail.  For instance, get_sb_single() and get_sb_nodev()
should:

        up_write(sb->s_unmount);
        deactivate_super(sb);

if simple_set_mnt() fails.

Since simple_set_mnt() never fails, would be cleaner if it did not
return anything.

Impact: cleanup, micro-optimization

We don't need to perform power_savings balance if either the
cpu is NOT_IDLE or if the sched_domain doesn't contain the
SD_POWERSAVINGS_BALANCE flag set.

Currently, we check for these conditions multiple number of
times, even though these variables don't change over the scope
of find_busiest_group().

Check once, and store the value in the already exiting
"power_savings_balance" variable.

Currently we use a lot of local variables in find_busiest_group()

Group them together into a single data structure.

This will help us to offload the job of updating the sched_domain
statistics to a helper function.

sched: Define structure to store the sched_group statistics for fbg()
Impact: cleanup

Currently a whole bunch of variables are used to store the
various statistics pertaining to the groups we iterate over
in find_busiest_group().

Group them together in a single data structure and add
appropriate comments.

This will be useful later on when we create helper functions
to calculate the sched_group statistics.

Some indentations in find_busiest_group() can minimized by using

sched: Simple helper functions for find_busiest_group()
Impact: cleanup

Currently the load idx calculation code is in find_busiest_group().
Move that to a static inline helper function.

Similary, to find the first cpu of a sched_group we use
cpumask_first(sched_group_cpus(group))

Use a helper to that. It improves readability in some cases.

dynamic debug: combine dprintk and dynamic printk
This patch combines Greg Bank's dprintk() work with the existing dynamic
printk patchset, we are now calling it 'dynamic debug'.

The new feature of this patchset is a richer /debugfs control file interface,
(an example output from my system is at the bottom), which allows fined grained
control over the the debug output. The output can be controlled by function,
file, module, format string, and line number.

for example, enabled all debug messages in module 'nf_conntrack':

echo -n 'module nf_conntrack +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control

to disable them:

echo -n 'module nf_conntrack -p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control

A further explanation can be found in the documentation patch.

sched: remove unused fields from struct rq
Impact: cleanup, new schedstat ABI

Since they are used on in statistics and are always set to zero, the
following fields from struct rq have been removed: yld_exp_empty,
yld_act_empty and yld_both_empty.

Both Sched Debug and SCHEDSTAT_VERSION versions has also been
incremented since ABIs have been changed.

The schedtop tool has been updated to properly handle new version of
schedstat:

posix timers: fix RLIMIT_CPU && fork()
See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12911

copy_signal() copies signal->rlim, but RLIMIT_CPU is "lost". Because
posix_cpu_timers_init_group() sets cputime_expires.prof_exp = 0 and thus
fastpath_timer_check() returns false unless we have other cpu timers.

This is the minimal fix for 2.6.29 (tested) and 2.6.28. The patch is not
optimal, we need further cleanups here. With this patch update_rlimit_cpu()
is not really needed, but I don't think it should be removed.

The proper fix (I think) is:

	- set_process_cpu_timer() should just start the cputimer->running
	  logic (it does), no need to change cputime_expires.xxx_exp

	- posix_cpu_timers_init_group() should set ->running when needed

	- fastpath_timer_check() can check ->running instead of
	  task_cputime_zero(signal->cputime_expires)

fix ptrace slowness
This patch fixes bug #12208:

  Bug-Entry       : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12208
  Subject         : uml is very slow on 2.6.28 host

This turned out to be not a scheduler regression, but an already
existing problem in ptrace being triggered by subtle scheduler
changes.

The problem is this:

 - task A is ptracing task B
 - task B stops on a trace event
 - task A is woken up and preempts task B
 - task A calls ptrace on task B, which does ptrace_check_attach()
 - this calls wait_task_inactive(), which sees that task B is still on the runq
 - task A goes to sleep for a jiffy
 - ...

Since UML does lots of the above sequences, those jiffies quickly add
up to make it slow as hell.

This patch solves this by not rescheduling in read_unlock() after
ptrace_stop() has woken up the tracer.

Thanks to Oleg Nesterov and Ingo Molnar for the feedback.
