Impact: fix rare memory leak in the sched-domains manual reconfiguration code
In the failure path, rd is not attached to a sched domain,
so it causes a leak.

Impact: re-add incorrectly eliminated sched domain layers
(1) on i386 with SCHED_SMT and SCHED_MC enabled
# mount -t cgroup -o cpuset xxx /mnt
# echo 0 > /mnt/cpuset.sched_load_balance
# mkdir /mnt/0
# echo 0 > /mnt/0/cpuset.cpus
# dmesg
CPU0 attaching sched-domain:
domain 0: span 0 level CPU
groups: 0
(2) on i386 with SCHED_MC enabled but SCHED_SMT disabled
# same with (1)
# dmesg
CPU0 attaching NULL sched-domain.
The bug is that some sched domains may be skipped unintentionally when
degenerating (optimizing) sched domains.

This fixes an oops when reading /proc/sched_debug.
A cgroup won't be removed completely until finishing cgroup_diput(), so we
shouldn't invalidate cgrp->dentry in cgroup_rmdir(). Otherwise, when a
group is being removed while cgroup_path() gets called, we may trigger
NULL dereference BUG.
The bug can be reproduced:
# cat test.sh
#!/bin/sh
mount -t cgroup -o cpu xxx /mnt
for (( ; ; ))
{
mkdir /mnt/sub
rmdir /mnt/sub
}
# ./test.sh &
# cat /proc/sched_debug

This patch (as1158b) adds round_jiffies_up() and friends. These
routines work like the analogous round_jiffies() functions, except
that they will never round down.
The new routines will be useful for timeouts where we don't care
exactly when the timer expires, provided it doesn't expire too soon.

smp_mb() is needed (to make the memory operations visible globally) before
sending the ipi on the sender and the receiver (on Alpha atleast) needs
smp_read_barrier_depends() in the handler before reading the call_single_queue
list in a lock-free fashion.
On x86, x2apic mode register accesses for sending IPI's don't have serializing
semantics. So the need for smp_mb() before sending the IPI becomes more
critical in x2apic mode.
Remove the unnecessary smp_mb() in csd_flag_wait(), as the presence of that
smp_mb() doesn't mean anything on the sender, when the ipi receiver is not
doing any thing special (like memory fence) after clearing the CSD_FLAG_WAIT.

Impact: improve/change/fix wakeup-buddy scheduling
Currently we only have a forward looking buddy, that is, we prefer to
schedule to the task we last woke up, under the presumption that its
going to consume the data we just produced, and therefore will have
cache hot benefits.
This allows co-waking producer/consumer task pairs to run ahead of the
pack for a little while, keeping their cache warm. Without this, we
would interleave all pairs, utterly trashing the cache.
This patch introduces a backward looking buddy, that is, suppose that
in the above scenario, the consumer preempts the producer before it
can go to sleep, we will therefore miss the wakeup from consumer to
producer (its already running, after all), breaking the cycle and
reverting to the cache-trashing interleaved schedule pattern.
The backward buddy will try to schedule back to the task that woke us
up in case the forward buddy is not available, under the assumption
that the last task will be the one with the most cache hot task around
barring current.
This will basically allow a task to continue after it got preempted.
In order to avoid starvation, we allow either buddy to get wakeup_gran
ahead of the pack.

While writing a new tracer, I had a bug where I caused the ring-buffer
to recurse in a bad way. The bug was with the tracer I was writing
and not the ring-buffer itself. But it took a long time to find the
problem.
This patch adds paranoid checks into the ring-buffer infrastructure
that will catch bugs of this nature.
Note: I put the bug back in the tracer and this patch showed the error
nicely and prevented the lockup.

Impact: ia64+tracing build fix
When a function is kprobed, the return address is set to the
kprobe_trampoline, or something similar. This caused the output
of the trace to look confusing when the parent seemed to be this
"kprobe_trampoline" function.
To fix this, Abhishek Sagar added a test of the instruction pointer
of the parent to see if it matched the kprobe_trampoline. If it
did, the output would print a "[unknown/kretprobe'd]" instead.
Unfortunately, not all archs do this the same way, and the trampoline
function may not be exported, which causes failures in builds.
This patch will compare the name instead of the pointer to see
if it matches. This prevents us from depending on a function from
being exported, and should work on all archs. The worst that can
happen is that an arch might use a different name and then we
go back to the confusing output. At least the arch will still build.

This one apparently doesn't generate any warnings, because the function
is only used during system bootup, when the warnings are disabled. But
it's still very wrong.
The __reserve_region_with_split() function is called with the
resource_lock held for writing, so it must only ever do GFP_ATOMIC

Impact: build fix on non-lockdep architectures
Some architectures do not support a way to read the irq flags that
is set from "local_irq_save(flags)" to determine if interrupts were
disabled or enabled. Ftrace uses this information to display to the user
if the trace occurred with interrupts enabled or disabled.
Besides the fact that those archs that do not support this will fail to
compile, unless they fix it, we do not want to have the trace simply
say interrupts were not disabled or they were enabled, without knowing
the real answer.
This patch adds a 'X' in the output to let the user know that the
architecture they are running on does not support a way for the tracer
to determine if interrupts were enabled or disabled. It also lets those
same archs compile with tracing enabled.

Impact: build fix on non-function-tracing architectures
The trace_nop is the tracer that is defined when no tracer is set in
the ftrace infrastructure.
The trace_nop was mistakenly selected by HAVE_FTRACE due to the confusion
between ftrace infrastructure and the ftrace function tracer (which has
been solved by renaming the function tracer).
This patch changes the select to the approriate TRACING.
This patch should fix compile errors on architectures that do not define

Some of the pages below the 1MB ISA addresses will be shared typically by both
BIOS and system usable RAM. For example:
BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009f800 (usable)
BIOS-e820: 000000000009f800 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved)
x86info reads the low physical address using /dev/mem, which internally
uses ioremap() for accessing non RAM pages. ioremap() of such low
pages conflicts with multiple resource entities leading to the
above warning.
Change the iomem_map_sanity_check() to allow mapping a page spanning multiple
resource entities (minimum granularity that one can map is a page anyhow).

Impact: corrects a bug which made the non-dyn function tracer not functional
With latest git, the non-dynamic function tracer didn't get any trace.
The problem was the fact that ftrace_enabled wasn't initialized to 1
because ftrace hasn't any init function when DYNAMIC_FTRACE is disabled.
So when a tracer tries to register an ftrace_ops struct,
__register_ftrace_function failed to set the hook.
This patch corrects it by setting an init function to initialize
ftrace during the boot.

The commit (in linux-tip) c2931e05ec5965597cbfb79ad332d4a29aeceb23
( ftrace: return an error when setting a nonexistent tracer )
added useful code that would error when a bad tracer was written into
the current_tracer file.
But this had a bug if the amount written was more than the amount read by
that code. The first iteration would set the tracer correctly, but since
it did not consume the rest of what was written (usually whitespace), the
userspace utility would continue to write what was not consumed. This
second iteration would fail to find a tracer and return -EINVAL. Funny
thing is that the tracer would have already been set.
This patch just consumes all the data that is written to the file.

Impact: fix lockdep lock-api-caller output when irqsoff tracing is enabled
81d68a96 "ftrace: trace irq disabled critical timings" added wrappers around
trace_hardirqs_on/off_caller. However these functions use
__builtin_return_address(0) to figure out which function actually disabled
or enabled irqs. The result is that we save the ips of trace_hardirqs_on/off
instead of the real caller. Not very helpful.
However since the patch from Steven the ip already gets passed. So use that
and get rid of __builtin_return_address(0) in these two functions.

This reverts commit a802dd0eb5fc97a50cf1abb1f788a8f6cc5db635 by moving
the call to init_workqueues() back where it belongs - after SMP has been
initialized.
It also moves stop_machine_init() - which needs workqueues - to a later
phase using a core_initcall() instead of early_initcall(). That should
satisfy all ordering requirements, and was apparently the reason why
init_workqueues() was moved to be too early.

Since we moved wakeup preemption back to virtual time, it makes sense to move
the buddy stuff back as well. The purpose of the buddy scheduling is to allow
a quickly scheduling pair of tasks to run away from the group as far as a
regular busy task would be allowed under wakeup preemption.
This has the advantage that the pair can ping-pong for a while, enjoying
cache-hotness. Without buddy scheduling other tasks would interleave destroying
the cache.
Also, it saves a word in cfs_rq.

The advantage is that vruntime based wakeup preemption has a better
conceptual model. Here wakeup_gran = 0 means: preempt when 'fair'.
Therefore wakeup_gran is the granularity of unfairness we allow in order
to make progress.

Mysql+oltp and pgsql+oltp peaks are still shifted right. The below puts
the peaks back to 1 client/server pair per core.
Use the avg_overlap information to weaken the sync hint.

Mike noticed the current min_vruntime tracking can go wrong and skip the
current task. If the only remaining task in the tree is a nice 19 task
with huge vruntime, new tasks will be inserted too far to the right too,
causing some interactibity issues.
min_vruntime can only change due to the leftmost entry disappearing
(dequeue_entity()), or by the leftmost entry being incremented past the
next entry, which elects a new leftmost (__update_curr())
Due to the current entry not being part of the actual tree, we have to
compare the leftmost tree entry with the current entry, and take the
leftmost of these two.
So create a update_min_vruntime() function that takes computes the
leftmost vruntime in the system (either tree of current) and increases
the cfs_rq->min_vruntime if the computed value is larger than the
previously found min_vruntime. And call this from the two sites we've
identified that can change min_vruntime.
