wake_affine() would always fail under low-load situations where
both prev and this were idle, because adding a single task will
always be a significant imbalance, even if there's nothing
around that could balance it.
Deal with this by allowing imbalance when there's nothing you
can do about it.

select_task_rq_fair() incorrectly skips the wake_affine()
logic, remove this.
When prev_cpu == this_cpu, the code jumps straight to the
wake_idle() logic, this doesn't give the wake_affine() logic
the chance to pin the task to this cpu.

Triggers because update_group_power() modifies the sd tree and does
temporary calculations there - not considering that other CPUs
could observe intermediate values, such as the zero initial value.
Calculate it in a temporary variable instead. (we need no memory

sgs.group_capacity can now be 0, if for some reason
group->__cpu_power happens to be less than SCHED_LOAD_SCALE/2.
In that case, we need the following fix to make it work for
update_sd_power_savings_stats(). That's because both
sum_nr_running and group_capacity are unsigned longs.

For counting how long an application has been waiting for

information available, while for all other counters in this
class, a high resolution version is available via
CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS.
In order to make an improved bootchart tool possible, we also
need a higher resolution version of the iowait time.

When re-computing the shares for each task group's cpu
representation we need the ratio of weight on each cpu vs the
total weight of the sched domain.
Since load-balancing is loosely (read not) synchronized, the
weight of individual cpus can change between doing the sum and
calculating the ratio.
The previous patch dealt with only one of the race scenarios,
this patch side steps them all by saving a snapshot of all the
individual cpu weights, thereby always working on a consistent
set.

The root cause is a duplicate section name (.text); is this legal?
[ Amerigo Wang: "AFAIK, yes." ]
However, there's a problem with commit
6d76013381ed28979cd122eb4b249a88b5e384fa in that if you fail to allocate
a mod->sect_attrs (in this case it's null because of the duplication),
it still gets used without checking in add_notes_attrs()
This should fix it
[ This patch leaves other problems, particularly the sections directory,
but recent parisc toolchains seem to produce these modules and this
prevents a crash and is a minimal change -- RR ]

Spotted by Hiroshi Shimamoto who also provided the test-case below.
copy_process() uses signal->count as a reference counter, but it is not.
This test case
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <pthread.h>
void *null_thread(void *p)
{
for (;;)
sleep(1);
return NULL;
}
void *exec_thread(void *p)
{
execl("/bin/true", "/bin/true", NULL);
return null_thread(p);
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
for (;;) {
pid_t pid;
int ret, status;
pid = fork();
if (pid < 0)
break;
if (!pid) {
pthread_t tid;
pthread_create(&tid, NULL, exec_thread, NULL);
for (;;)
pthread_create(&tid, NULL, null_thread, NULL);
}
do {
ret = waitpid(pid, &status, 0);
} while (ret == -1 && errno == EINTR);
}
return 0;
}
quickly creates an unkillable task.
If copy_process(CLONE_THREAD) races with de_thread()
copy_signal()->atomic(signal->count) breaks the signal->notify_count
logic, and the execing thread can hang forever in kernel space.
Change copy_process() to increment count/live only when we know for sure
we can't fail. In this case the forked thread will take care of its
reference to signal correctly.
If copy_process() fails, check CLONE_THREAD flag. If it it set - do
nothing, the counters were not changed and current belongs to the same
thread group. If it is not set, ->signal must be released in any case
(and ->count must be == 1), the forked child is the only thread in the
thread group.
We need more cleanups here, in particular signal->count should not be used
by de_thread/__exit_signal at all. This patch only fixes the bug.

Currently clockevents_notify() is called with interrupts enabled at
some places and interrupts disabled at some other places.
This results in a deadlock in this scenario.
cpu A holds clockevents_lock in clockevents_notify() with irqs enabled
cpu B waits for clockevents_lock in clockevents_notify() with irqs disabled
cpu C doing set_mtrr() which will try to rendezvous of all the cpus.
This will result in C and A come to the rendezvous point and waiting
for B. B is stuck forever waiting for the spinlock and thus not
reaching the rendezvous point.
Fix the clockevents code so that clockevents_lock is taken with
interrupts disabled and thus avoid the above deadlock.
Also call lapic_timer_propagate_broadcast() on the destination cpu so
that we avoid calling smp_call_function() in the clockevents notifier
chain.
This issue left us wondering if we need to change the MTRR rendezvous
logic to use stop machine logic (instead of smp_call_function) or add
a check in spinlock debug code to see if there are other spinlocks
which gets taken under both interrupts enabled/disabled conditions.

The commit 2ff05b2b (oom: move oom_adj value) moveed the oom_adj value to
the mm_struct. It was a very good first step for sanitize OOM.
However Paul Menage reported the commit makes regression to his job
scheduler. Current OOM logic can kill OOM_DISABLED process.
Why? His program has the code of similar to the following.
...
set_oom_adj(OOM_DISABLE); /* The job scheduler never killed by oom */
...
if (vfork() == 0) {
set_oom_adj(0); /* Invoked child can be killed */
execve("foo-bar-cmd");
}
....
vfork() parent and child are shared the same mm_struct. then above
set_oom_adj(0) doesn't only change oom_adj for vfork() child, it's also
change oom_adj for vfork() parent. Then, vfork() parent (job scheduler)
lost OOM immune and it was killed.
Actually, fork-setting-exec idiom is very frequently used in userland program.
We must not break this assumption.
Then, this patch revert commit 2ff05b2b and related commit.

The wake_up_process() of the new irq thread in __setup_irq() is too
early as the irqaction is not yet fully initialized especially
action->irq is not yet set. The interrupt thread might dereference the
wrong irq descriptor.
Move the wakeup after the action is installed and action->irq has been
set.

PARISC does not build:
/home/mingo/tip/kernel/perf_counter.c: In function 'perf_counter_index':
/home/mingo/tip/kernel/perf_counter.c:2016: error: 'PERF_COUNTER_INDEX_OFFSET' undeclared (first use in this function)
/home/mingo/tip/kernel/perf_counter.c:2016: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
/home/mingo/tip/kernel/perf_counter.c:2016: error: for each function it appears in.)
As PERF_COUNTER_INDEX_OFFSET is not defined.
Now, we could define it in the architecture - but lets also provide
a core default of 0 (which happens to be what all but one
architecture uses at the moment).
Architectures that need a different index offset should set this
value in their asm/perf_counter.h files.

"echo noglobal-clock > trace_options" can be used to change trace
clock but "echo 0 > options/global-clock" can't. The flag toggling
will be silently accepted without actually changing the clock callback.
We can fix it by using set_tracer_flags() in
trace_options_core_write().

In general, code in perf_counter.c that is called through an
IPI checks, for per-task counters, that the counter's task is
still the current task. This is to handle the race condition
where the cpu switches from the task we want to another task in
the interval between sending the IPI and the IPI arriving and
being handled on the target CPU.
For some reason, __perf_counter_read is missing this check, yet
there is no reason why the race condition can't occur. This
adds a check that the current task is the one we want. If it
isn't, we just return. In that case the counter->count value
should be up to date, since it will have been updated when the
counter was scheduled out, which must have happened since the
IPI was sent.
I don't have an example of an actual failure due to this race,
but it seems obvious that it could occur and we need to guard
against it.

Currently SELinux enforcement of controls on the ability to map low memory
is determined by the mmap_min_addr tunable. This patch causes SELinux to
ignore the tunable and instead use a seperate Kconfig option specific to how
much space the LSM should protect.
The tunable will now only control the need for CAP_SYS_RAWIO and SELinux
permissions will always protect the amount of low memory designated by
CONFIG_LSM_MMAP_MIN_ADDR.
This allows users who need to disable the mmap_min_addr controls (usual reason
being they run WINE as a non-root user) to do so and still have SELinux
controls preventing confined domains (like a web server) from being able to
map some area of low memory.
