3b64089422 sched: Optimize cgroup vs wakeup a bit
We don't need to call update_shares() for each domain we iterate,
just got the largets one.

However, we should call it before wake_affine() as well, so that
that can use up-to-date values too.

51e0304ce6 sched: Implement a gentler fair-sleepers feature
Add back FAIR_SLEEPERS and GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS.

FAIR_SLEEPERS is the old logic: credit sleepers with their sleep time.

GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS dampens this a bit: 50% of their sleep time gets
credited.

The hope here is to still give the benefits of fair-sleepers logic
(quick wakeups, etc.) while not allow them to have 100% of their
sleep time as if they were running.

 encoded 600 frames, 425.45 fps, 22096.60 kb/s
 encoded 600 frames, 422.49 fps, 22096.60 kb/s

Peter pointed out that this is better done via newidle_idx,
not via LB_BIAS, newidle balancing should look for where
there is load _now_, not where there was load 2 ticks ago.

Worst-case latencies are improved as well as no buddies
means less vruntime spread. (as per prior lkml discussions)

This change improves kbuild-peak parallelism as well.

c88d591089 sched: Merge select_task_rq_fair() and sched_balance_self()
The problem with wake_idle() is that is doesn't respect things like
cpu_power, which means it doesn't deal well with SMT nor the recent
RT interaction.

To cure this, it needs to do what sched_balance_self() does, which
leads to the possibility of merging select_task_rq_fair() and
sched_balance_self().

Modify sched_balance_self() to:

  - update_shares() when walking up the domain tree,
    (it only called it for the top domain, but it should
     have done this anyway), which allows us to remove
    this ugly bit from try_to_wake_up().

  - do wake_affine() on the smallest domain that contains
    both this (the waking) and the prev (the wakee) cpu for
    WAKE invocations.

Then use the top-down balance steps it had to replace wake_idle().

This leads to the dissapearance of SD_WAKE_BALANCE and
SD_WAKE_IDLE_FAR, with SD_WAKE_IDLE replaced with SD_BALANCE_WAKE.

SD_WAKE_AFFINE needs SD_BALANCE_WAKE to be effective.

Touch all topology bits to replace the old with new SD flags --
platforms might need re-tuning, enabling SD_BALANCE_WAKE
conditionally on a NUMA distance seems like a good additional
feature, magny-core and small nehalem systems would want this
enabled, systems with slow interconnects would not.

waking of the same task, which is currently handled by holding

So introduce a new TASK state, namely TASK_WAKING, which indicates
someone is already waking the task (other wakers will fail p->state
& state).

We also keep preemption disabled over the whole ttwu().

12e09337fe time: Prevent 32 bit overflow with set_normalized_timespec()
set_normalized_timespec() nsec argument is of type long. The recent
timekeeping changes of ktime_get_ts() feed 

	ts->tv_nsec + tomono.tv_nsec + nsecs

to set_normalized_timespec(). On 32 bit machines that sum can be
larger than (1 << 31) and therefor result in a negative value which
screws up the result completely.

Make the nsec argument of set_normalized_timespec() s64 to fix the
problem at hand. This also prevents similar problems for future users
of set_normalized_timespec().

555f386c98 ftrace: document function and function graph implementation
While implementing function tracer and function tracer graph support,
I found the exact arch implementation details to be a bit lacking
(and my x86 foo ain't great).  So after pounding out support for
the Blackfin arch, start documenting the requirements/details.

353f6dd2de cleanup console_print()
console_print() is an old legacy interface mostly unused in the entire
kernel tree. It's best to clean up its existing use and let developers
use their own implementation of it as they feel fit.

54a6bc0b07 clocksource: Delay clocksource down rating to late boot
The down rating of clock sources in the early boot process via the
clock source watchdog mechanism can happen way before the per cpu
event queues are initialized. This leads to a boot crash on x86 when
the TSC is marked unstable in the SMP bring up.

The selection of a clock source for time keeping happens in the late
boot process so we can safely delay the list manipulation until
clocksource_done_booting() is called.

98e73dc5d2 PM / Hibernate / Memory hotplug: Always use for_each_populated_zone()
Use for_each_populated_zone() instead of for_each_zone() in hibernation
code. This fixes a bug on s390, where we allow both config options
HIBERNATION and MEMORY_HOTPLUG, so that we also have a ZONE_MOVABLE
here. We only allow hibernation if no memory hotplug operation was
performed, so in fact both features can only be used exclusively, but
this way we don't need 2 differently configured (distribution) kernels.

If we have an unpopulated ZONE_MOVABLE, we allow hibernation but run
into a BUG_ON() in memory_bm_test/set/clear_bit() because hibernation
code iterates through all zones, not only the populated zones, in
several places. For example, swsusp_free() does for_each_zone() and
then checks for pfn_valid(), which is true even if the zone is not
populated, resulting in a BUG_ON() later because the pfn cannot be
found in the memory bitmap.

Replacing all occurences of for_each_zone() in hibernation code with
for_each_populated_zone() would fix this issue.

[rjw: Rebased on top of linux-next hibernation patches.]

ef4aede3f1 PM/Hibernate: Do not try to allocate too much memory too hard (rev. 2)
We want to avoid attempting to free too much memory too hard during
hibernation, so estimate the minimum size of the image to use as the
lower limit for preallocating memory.

The approach here is based on the (experimental) observation that we
can't free more page frames than the sum of:

* global_page_state(NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE)
* global_page_state(NR_ACTIVE_ANON)
* global_page_state(NR_INACTIVE_ANON)
* global_page_state(NR_ACTIVE_FILE)
* global_page_state(NR_INACTIVE_FILE)

minus

* global_page_state(NR_FILE_MAPPED)

Namely, if this number is subtracted from the number of saveable
pages in the system, we get a good estimate of the minimum reasonable
size of a hibernation image.
