Impact: fix to allow some archs to use the ring buffer
Commits in the ring buffer are checked by pointer arithmetic.
If the calculation is incorrect, then the commits will never take
place and the buffer will simply fill up and report an error.
Each page in the ring buffer has a small header:
struct buffer_data_page {
u64 time_stamp;
local_t commit;
unsigned char data[];
};
Unfortuntely, some of the calculations used sizeof(struct buffer_data_page)
to know the size of the header. But this is incorrect on some archs,
where sizeof(struct buffer_data_page) does not equal
offsetof(struct buffer_data_page, data), and on those archs, the commits
are never processed.
This patch replaces the sizeof with offsetof.

Lockdep reported some possible circular locking info when we tested cpuset on
NUMA/fake NUMA box.
=======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.29-rc1-00224-ga652504 #111
-------------------------------------------------------
bash/2968 is trying to acquire lock:
(events){--..}, at: [<ffffffff8024c8cd>] flush_work+0x24/0xd8
but task is already holding lock:
(cgroup_mutex){--..}, at: [<ffffffff8026ad1e>] cgroup_lock_live_group+0x12/0x29
which lock already depends on the new lock.
......
-------------------------------------------------------
Steps to reproduce:
# mkdir /dev/cpuset
# mount -t cpuset xxx /dev/cpuset
# mkdir /dev/cpuset/0
# echo 0 > /dev/cpuset/0/cpus
# echo 0 > /dev/cpuset/0/mems
# echo 1 > /dev/cpuset/0/memory_migrate
# cat /dev/zero > /dev/null &
# echo $! > /dev/cpuset/0/tasks
This is because async_rebuild_sched_domains has the following lock sequence:
run_workqueue(async_rebuild_sched_domains)
-> do_rebuild_sched_domains -> cgroup_lock
But, attaching tasks when memory_migrate is set has following:
cgroup_lock_live_group(cgroup_tasks_write)
-> do_migrate_pages -> flush_work
This patch fixes it by using a separate workqueue thread.

Provide a shared interrupt debug facility under CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ:
it uses the existing irqpoll facilities to iterate through all
registered interrupt handlers and call those which can handle shared
IRQ lines.
This can be handy for suspend/resume debugging: if we call this function
early during resume we can trigger crashes in those drivers which have
incorrect assumptions about when exactly their ISRs will be called
during suspend/resume.

Allow the set_mode() clockevent callback to decide and fill in delta
details such as shift, mult, max_delta_ns and min_delta_ns.
With this change the clockevent can be registered without delta details
which allows us to keep the parent clock disabled until the clockevent
gets setup using set_mode().
Letting set_mode() fill in or update delta details allows us to save
power by disabling the parent clock while the clockevent is unused.
This may however make the parent clock rate change, so next time the
clockevent gets enabled we need let set_mode() to update the detla
details accordingly. Doing it at registration time is not enough.
Furthermore, the delta details seem unused in the case of periodic-only
clockevent drivers, so this change also allows registration of such
drivers without the delta details filled in.

Impact: fix SCHED_IDLE latency problems
OK, so we have 1 running task A (which is obviously curr and the tree is
equally obviously empty).
'A' nicely chugs along, doing its thing, carrying min_vruntime along as it
goes.
Then some whacko speed freak SCHED_IDLE task gets inserted due to SMP
balancing, which is very likely far right, in that case
update_curr
update_min_vruntime
cfs_rq->rb_leftmost := true (the crazy task sitting in a tree)
vruntime = se->vruntime
and voila, min_vruntime is waaay right of where it ought to be.
OK, so why did I write it like that to begin with...
Aah, yes.
Say we've just dequeued current
schedule
deactivate_task(prev)
dequeue_entity
update_min_vruntime
Then we'll set
vruntime = cfs_rq->min_vruntime;
we find !cfs_rq->curr, but do find someone in the tree. Then we _must_
do vruntime = se->vruntime, because
vruntime = min_vruntime(vruntime := cfs_rq->min_vruntime, se->vruntime)
will not advance vruntime, and cause lags the other way around (which we
fixed with that initial patch: 1af5f730fc

For UID grouping we initialize the root group with infinite bandwidth
which by default is actually more than the global limit, therefore the
bandwidth check always fails.
Because the root group is a phantom group (for UID grouping) we cannot
runtime adjust it, therefore we let it reflect the global bandwidth
settings.

Prefer tasks that wake other tasks to preempt quickly. This improves
performance because more work is available sooner.
The workload that prompted this patch was a kernel build over NFS4 (for some
curious and not understood reason we had to revert commit:
18de973530 to make any progress at all)
Without this patch a make -j8 bzImage (of x86-64 defconfig) would take
3m30-ish, with this patch we're down to 2m50-ish.
psql-sysbench/mysql-sysbench show a slight improvement in peak performance as
well, tbench and vmark seemed to not care.
It is possible to improve upon the build time (to 2m20-ish) but that seriously
destroys other benchmarks (just shows that there's more room for tinkering).
Much thanks to Mike who put in a lot of effort to benchmark things and proved
a worthy opponent with a competing patch.
