hrtimer_expires_remaining does not take internal hrtimer locks and thus
must be guarded against concurrent __hrtimer_start_range_ns (but
returning HRTIMER_RESTART is safe). Use cfs_b->lock to make it safe.

When we transition cfs_bandwidth_used to false, any currently
throttled groups will incorrectly return false from cfs_rq_throttled.
While tg_set_cfs_bandwidth will unthrottle them eventually, currently
running code (including at least dequeue_task_fair and
distribute_cfs_runtime) will cause errors.
Fix this by turning off cfs_bandwidth_used only after unthrottling all
cfs_rqs.
Tested: toggle bandwidth back and forth on a loaded cgroup. Caused
crashes in minutes without the patch, hasn't crashed with it.

The PPC64 people noticed a missing memory barrier and crufty old
comments in the perf ring buffer code. So update all the comments and
add the missing barrier.
When the architecture implements local_t using atomic_long_t there
will be double barriers issued; but short of introducing more
conditional barrier primitives this is the best we can do.

In commit ee23871389 ("genirq: Set irq thread to RT priority on
creation") we moved the assigment of the thread's priority from the
thread's function into __setup_irq(). That function may run in user
context for instance if the user opens an UART node and then driver
calls requests in the ->open() callback. That user may not have
CAP_SYS_NICE and so the irq thread won't run with the SCHED_OTHER
policy.
This patch uses sched_setscheduler_nocheck() so we omit the CAP_SYS_NICE
check which is otherwise required for the SCHED_OTHER policy.

software_resume is being called after deferred_probe_initcall in

image is deferred, and the system has been instructed to wait for

Marc Kleine-Budde pointed out, that commit 77cc982 "clocksource: use
clockevents_config_and_register() where possible" caused a regression
for some of the converted subarchs.
The reason is, that the clockevents core code converts the minimal
hardware tick delta to a nanosecond value for core internal
usage. This conversion is affected by integer math rounding loss, so
the backwards conversion to hardware ticks will likely result in a
value which is less than the configured hardware limitation. The
affected subarchs used their own workaround (SIGH!) which got lost in
the conversion.
The solution for the issue at hand is simple: adding evt->mult - 1 to
the shifted value before the integer divison in the core conversion
function takes care of it. But this only works for the case where for
the scaled math mult/shift pair "mult <= 1 << shift" is true. For the
case where "mult > 1 << shift" we can apply the rounding add only for
the minimum delta value to make sure that the backward conversion is
not less than the given hardware limit. For the upper bound we need to
omit the rounding add, because the backwards conversion is always
larger than the original latch value. That would violate the upper
bound of the hardware device.
Though looking closer at the details of that function reveals another
bogosity: The upper bounds check is broken as well. Checking for a
resulting "clc" value greater than KTIME_MAX after the conversion is
pointless. The conversion does:
u64 clc = (latch << evt->shift) / evt->mult;
So there is no sanity check for (latch << evt->shift) exceeding the
64bit boundary. The latch argument is "unsigned long", so on a 64bit
arch the handed in argument could easily lead to an unnoticed shift
overflow. With the above rounding fix applied the calculation before
the divison is:
u64 clc = (latch << evt->shift) + evt->mult - 1;
So we need to make sure, that neither the shift nor the rounding add
is overflowing the u64 boundary.
[ukl: move assignment to rnd after eventually changing mult, fix build
issue and correct comment with the right math]

Fedora Ruby maintainer reported latest Ruby doesn't work on Fedora Rawhide
on ARM. (http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9008)
Because of, commit 1c6b39ad3f (alarmtimers: Return -ENOTSUPP if no
RTC device is present) intruduced to return ENOTSUPP when
clock_get{time,res} can't find a RTC device. However this is incorrect.
First, ENOTSUPP isn't exported to userland (ENOTSUP or EOPNOTSUP are the
closest userland equivlents).
Second, Posix and Linux man pages agree that clock_gettime and
clock_getres should return EINVAL if clk_id argument is invalid.
While the arugment that the clockid is valid, but just not supported
on this hardware could be made, this is just a technicality that
doesn't help userspace applicaitons, and only complicates error
handling.
Thus, this patch changes the code to use EINVAL.

For now, we disable the extended MMAP record support (MMAP2).
We have identified cases where it would not report the correct mapping
information, clone(VM_CLONE) but with separate pids. We will revisit
the support once we find a solution for this case.
The patch changes the kernel to return EINVAL if attr->mmap2 is set. The
patch also modifies the perf tool to use regular PERF_RECORD_MMAP for
synthetic events and it also prevents the tool from requesting
attr->mmap2 mode because the kernel would reject it.
The support will be revisited once the kenrel interface is updated.
In V2, we reduce the patch to the strict minimum.
In V3, we avoid calling perf_event_open() with mmap2 set because we know
it will fail and require fallback retry.

Add the new helper, prepare_to_wait_event() which should only be used
by ___wait_event().
prepare_to_wait_event() returns -ERESTARTSYS if signal_pending_state()
is true, otherwise it does prepare_to_wait/exclusive. This allows to
uninline the signal-pending checks in wait_event*() macros.
Also, it can initialize wait->private/func. We do not care if they were
already initialized, the values are the same. This also shaves a couple
of insns from the inlined code.
This obviously makes prepare_*() path a little bit slower, but we are
likely going to sleep anyway, so I think it makes sense to shrink .text:

Remove get_online_cpus() usage from the scheduler; there's 4 sites that
use it:
- sched_init_smp(); where its completely superfluous since we're in
'early' boot and there simply cannot be any hotplugging.
- sched_getaffinity(); we already take a raw spinlock to protect the
task cpus_allowed mask, this disables preemption and therefore
also stabilizes cpu_online_mask as that's modified using
stop_machine. However switch to active mask for symmetry with
sched_setaffinity()/set_cpus_allowed_ptr(). We guarantee active
mask stability by inserting sync_rcu/sched() into _cpu_down.
- sched_setaffinity(); we don't appear to need get_online_cpus()
either, there's two sites where hotplug appears relevant:
* cpuset_cpus_allowed(); for the !cpuset case we use possible_mask,
for the cpuset case we hold task_lock, which is a spinlock and
thus for mainline disables preemption (might cause pain on RT).
* set_cpus_allowed_ptr(); Holds all scheduler locks and thus has
preemption properly disabled; also it already deals with hotplug
races explicitly where it releases them.
- migrate_swap(); we can make stop_two_cpus() do the heavy lifting for
us with a little trickery. By adding a sync_sched/rcu() after the
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifier we can provide preempt/rcu guarantees for
cpu_active_mask. Use these to validate that both our cpus are active
when queueing the stop work before we queue the stop_machine works
for take_cpu_down().

There is a subtle race in migrate_swap, when task P, on CPU A, decides to swap
places with task T, on CPU B.
Task P:
- call migrate_swap
Task T:
- go to sleep, removing itself from the runqueue
Task P:
- double lock the runqueues on CPU A & B
Task T:
- get woken up, place itself on the runqueue of CPU C
Task P:
- see that task T is on a runqueue, and pretend to remove it
from the runqueue on CPU B
Now CPUs B & C both have corrupted scheduler data structures.
This patch fixes it, by holding the pi_lock for both of the tasks
involved in the migrate swap. This prevents task T from waking up,
and placing itself onto another runqueue, until after migrate_swap
has released all locks.
This means that, when migrate_swap checks, task T will be either
on the runqueue where it was originally seen, or not on any
runqueue at all. Migrate_swap deals correctly with of those cases.

While discussing the proposed SCHED_DEADLINE patches which in parts
mimic the existing FIFO code it was noticed that the wmb in
rt_set_overloaded() didn't have a matching barrier.
The only site using rt_overloaded() to test the rto_count is
pull_rt_task() and we should issue a matching rmb before then assuming
there's an rto_mask bit set.
Without that smp_rmb() in there we could actually miss seeing the
rto_mask bit.
Also, change to using smp_[wr]mb(), even though this is SMP only code;
memory barriers without smp_ always make me think they're against
hardware of some sort.

Both Anjana and Eunki reported a stall in the while_each_thread loop
in cgroup_attach_task().
It's because, when we attach a single thread to a cgroup, if the cgroup
is exiting or is already in that cgroup, we won't break the loop.
If the task is already in the cgroup, the bug can lead to another thread
being attached to the cgroup unexpectedly:
# echo 5207 > tasks
# cat tasks
5207
# echo 5207 > tasks
# cat tasks
5207
5215
What's worse, if the task to be attached isn't the leader of the thread
group, we might never exit the loop, hence cpu stall. Thanks for Oleg's
analysis.
This bug was introduced by commit 081aa458c38ba576bdd4265fc807fa95b48b9e79
("cgroup: consolidate cgroup_attach_task() and cgroup_attach_proc()")
[ lizf: - fixed the first continue, pointed out by Oleg,
- rewrote changelog. ]

We can enable/disable timer statistics collection via:
echo [1|0] > /proc/timers_stats
and it would be nice if apps had the ability to check
what the current collection status is.
This patch adds a 'Collection: active/inactive' line to display the
current timer collection status.
Also bump up the timer stats version to v0.3.

Short spikes of CPU load can lead to a task being migrated
away from its preferred node for temporary reasons.
It is important that the task is migrated back to where it
belongs, in order to avoid migrating too much memory to its
new location, and generally disturbing a task's NUMA location.
This patch fixes NUMA placement for 4 specjbb instances on
a 4 node system. Without this patch, things take longer to
converge, and processes are not always completely on their
own node.

Shared faults can lead to lots of unnecessary page migrations,
slowing down the system, and causing private faults to hit the
per-pgdat migration ratelimit.
This patch adds sysctl numa_balancing_migrate_deferred, which specifies
how many shared page migrations to skip unconditionally, after each page
migration that is skipped because it is a shared fault.
This reduces the number of page migrations back and forth in
shared fault situations. It also gives a strong preference to
the tasks that are already running where most of the memory is,
and to moving the other tasks to near the memory.
Testing this with a much higher scan rate than the default
still seems to result in fewer page migrations than before.
Memory seems to be somewhat better consolidated than previously,
with multi-instance specjbb runs on a 4 node system.

Adjust numa_scan_period in task_numa_placement, depending on how much
useful work the numa code can do. The more local faults there are in a
given scan window the longer the period (and hence the slower the scan rate)
during the next window. If there are excessive shared faults then the scan
period will decrease with the amount of scaling depending on whether the
ratio of shared/private faults. If the preferred node changes then the
scan rate is reset to recheck if the task is properly placed.

Due to the way the pid is truncated, and tasks are moved between
CPUs by the scheduler, it is possible for the current task_numa_fault
to group together tasks that do not actually share memory together.
This patch adds a few easy sanity checks to task_numa_fault, joining
tasks together if they share the same tsk->mm, or if the fault was on
a page with an elevated mapcount, in a shared VMA.

This patch classifies scheduler domains and runqueues into types depending
the number of tasks that are about their NUMA placement and the number
that are currently running on their preferred node. The types are
regular: There are tasks running that do not care about their NUMA
placement.
remote: There are tasks running that care about their placement but are
currently running on a node remote to their ideal placement
all: No distinction
To implement this the patch tracks the number of tasks that are optimally
NUMA placed (rq->nr_preferred_running) and the number of tasks running
that care about their placement (nr_numa_running). The load balancer
uses this information to avoid migrating idea placed NUMA tasks as long
as better options for load balancing exists. For example, it will not
consider balancing between a group whose tasks are all perfectly placed
and a group with remote tasks.

This patch separately considers task and group affinities when
searching for swap candidates during NUMA placement. If tasks
are part of the same group, or no group at all, the task weights
are considered.
Some hysteresis is added to prevent tasks within one group from
getting bounced between NUMA nodes due to tiny differences.
If tasks are part of different groups, the code compares group
weights, in order to favor grouping task groups together.
The patch also changes the group weight multiplier to be the
same as the task weight multiplier, since the two are no longer
added up like before.
