Sync wakeups are critical functionality with a long history. Remove it, we don't

Don't bother with selection when the current cpu is idle. Recent load
balancing changes also make it no longer necessary to check wake_affine()
success before returning the selected sibling, so we now always use it.

Allow LAST_BUDDY to kick in sooner, improving cache utilization as soon as
a second buddy pair arrives on scene. The cost is latency starting to climb
sooner, the tbenefit for tbench 8 on my Q6600 box is ~2%. No detrimental
effects noted in normal idesktop usage.

Now that we no longer depend on the clock being updated prior to enqueueing
on migratory wakeup, we can clean up a bit, placing calls to update_rq_clock()
exactly where they are needed, ie on enqueue, dequeue and schedule events.
In the case of a freshly enqueued task immediately preempting, we can skip the
update during preemption, as the clock was just updated by the enqueue event.
We also save an unneeded call during a migratory wakeup by not updating the
previous runqueue, where update_curr() won't be invoked.

Both avg_overlap and avg_wakeup had an inherent problem in that their accuracy
was detrimentally affected by cross-cpu wakeups, this because we are missing
the necessary call to update_curr(). This can't be fixed without increasing
overhead in our already too fat fastpath.
Additionally, with recent load balancing changes making us prefer to place tasks
in an idle cache domain (which is good for compute bound loads), communicating
tasks suffer when a sync wakeup, which would enable affine placement, is turned
into a non-sync wakeup by SYNC_LESS. With one task on the runqueue, wake_affine()
rejects the affine wakeup request, leaving the unfortunate where placed, taking
frequent cache misses.
Remove it, and recover some fastpath cycles.

Testing the load which led to this heuristic (nfs4 kbuild) shows that it has
outlived it's usefullness. With intervening load balancing changes, I cannot
see any difference with/without, so recover there fastpath cycles.

Entering nohz code on every micro-idle is costing ~10% throughput for netperf
TCP_RR when scheduling cross-cpu. Rate limiting entry fixes this, but raises
ticks a bit. On my Q6600, an idle box goes from ~85 interrupts/sec to 128.
The higher the context switch rate, the more nohz entry costs. With this patch
and some cycle recovery patches in my tree, max cross cpu context switch rate is
improved by ~16%, a large portion of which of which is this ratelimiting.

This patch disables irqs across the call to rcu_needs_cpu(). It

softirq itself to death when there are lots of RCU callbacks in

It is invalid to invoke __rcu_process_callbacks() with irqs

The function graph tracer is currently the most invasive tracer
in the ftrace family. It can easily overflow the buffer even with
10megs per CPU. This means that events can often be lost.
On start up, or after events are lost, if the function return is
recorded but the function enter was lost, all we get to see is the
exiting '}'.
Here is how a typical trace output starts:
[tracing] cat trace
# tracer: function_graph
#
# CPU DURATION FUNCTION CALLS
# | | | | | | |
0) + 91.897 us | }
0) ! 567.961 us | }
0) <========== |
0) ! 579.083 us | _raw_spin_lock_irqsave();
0) 4.694 us | _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore();
0) ! 594.862 us | }
0) ! 603.361 us | }
0) ! 613.574 us | }
0) ! 623.554 us | }
0) 3.653 us | fget_light();
0) | sock_poll() {
There are a series of '}' with no matching "func() {". There's no information
to what functions these ending brackets belong to.
This patch adds a stack on the per cpu structure used in outputting
the function graph tracer to keep track of what function was outputted.
Then on a function exit event, it checks the depth to see if the
function exit has a matching entry event. If it does, then it only
prints the '}', otherwise it adds the function name after the '}'.
This allows function exit events to show what function they belong to
at trace output startup, when the entry was lost due to ring buffer
overflow, or even after a new task is scheduled in.
Here is what the above trace will look like after this patch:
[tracing] cat trace
# tracer: function_graph
#
# CPU DURATION FUNCTION CALLS
# | | | | | | |
0) + 91.897 us | } (irq_exit)

The hibernate memory preallocation code allocates memory to push some
user space data out of physical RAM, so that the hibernation image is
not too large. It allocates more memory than necessary for creating
the image, so it has to release some pages to make room for
allocations made while suspending devices and disabling nonboot CPUs,
or the system will hang due to the lack of free pages to allocate
from. Unfortunately, the function used for freeing these pages,
free_unnecessary_pages(), contains a bug that prevents it from doing
the job on all systems without highmem.
Fix this problem, which is a regression from the 2.6.30 kernel, by
using the right condition for the termination of the loop in
free_unnecessary_pages().

It will never reach here if the sws_resume_bdev is erratic.
swsusp_read() is called only from software_resume(), but after
swsusp_check() which would catch the error state.

Add configuration switch CONFIG_PM_ADVANCED_DEBUG for compiling in
extra PM debugging/testing code allowing one to access some
PM-related attributes of devices from the user space via sysfs.
If CONFIG_PM_ADVANCED_DEBUG is set, add sysfs attribute power/async
for every device allowing the user space to access the device's
power.async_suspend flag and modify it, if desired.

A recent commit introduced a preemption warning for
perf_clock(), use raw_smp_processor_id() to avoid this, it
really doesn't matter which cpu we use here.

On platforms like dual socket quad-core platform, the scheduler load
balancer is not detecting the load imbalances in certain scenarios. This
is leading to scenarios like where one socket is completely busy (with
all the 4 cores running with 4 tasks) and leaving another socket
completely idle. This causes performance issues as those 4 tasks share
the memory controller, last-level cache bandwidth etc. Also we won't be
taking advantage of turbo-mode as much as we would like, etc.
Some of the comparisons in the scheduler load balancing code are
comparing the "weighted cpu load that is scaled wrt sched_group's
cpu_power" with the "weighted average load per task that is not scaled
wrt sched_group's cpu_power". While this has probably been broken for a
longer time (for multi socket numa nodes etc), the problem got aggrevated
via this recent change:

| sched: Restore __cpu_power to a straight sum of power
|
Also with this change, the sched group cpu power alone no longer reflects
the group capacity that is needed to implement MC, MT performance
(default) and power-savings (user-selectable) policies.
We need to use the computed group capacity (sgs.group_capacity, that is
computed using the SD_PREFER_SIBLING logic in update_sd_lb_stats()) to
find out if the group with the max load is above its capacity and how
much load to move etc.

Since the cpu argument to hw_perf_group_sched_in() is always
smp_processor_id(), simplify the code a little by removing this argument
and using the current cpu where needed.

This patch adds correct AMD NorthBridge event scheduling.
NB events are events measuring L3 cache, Hypertransport traffic. They are
identified by an event code >= 0xe0. They measure events on the
Northbride which is shared by all cores on a package. NB events are
counted on a shared set of counters. When a NB event is programmed in a
counter, the data actually comes from a shared counter. Thus, access to
those counters needs to be synchronized.
We implement the synchronization such that no two cores can be measuring
NB events using the same counters. Thus, we maintain a per-NB allocation
table. The available slot is propagated using the event_constraint
structure.

In certain situations, the kernel may need to stop and start the same
event rapidly. The current PMU callbacks do not distinguish between stop
and release (i.e., stop + free the resource). Thus, a counter may be
released, then it will be immediately re-acquired. Event scheduling will
again take place with no guarantee to assign the same counter. On some
processors, this may event yield to failure to assign the event back due
to competion between cores.
This patch is adding a new pair of callback to stop and restart a counter
without actually release the underlying counter resource. On stop, the
counter is stopped, its values saved and that's it. On start, the value
is reloaded and counter is restarted (on x86, actual restart is delayed
until perf_enable()).

DaveM reported that currently perf interprets the pgoff value reported by
the MMAP events as a byte range, but the kernel reports it as a page
offset.
Since its broken (and unusable) anyway, change the kernel behaviour (ABI)
to report bytes indeed, avoiding the need for userspace to deal with
PAGE_SIZE things.

Kernel modules using rcu_read_lock_sched_held() must now have
access to rcu_scheduler_active, so it must be exported.
This should fix the fix for the boot-time RCU-lockdep splat.

Before the scheduler starts, all tasks are non-preemptible by
definition. So, during that time, rcu_read_lock_sched_held()
needs to always return "true". This patch makes that be so.
