commit 9b5b77512dce239fa168183fa71896712232e95a

sched: clean up code under CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED
Introduced an assumption of the existence of CPU0 via this line
cfs_rq = tg->cfs_rq[0];
If you have no CPU0, that will be NULL. The fix seems to be just to
take whatever cfs_rq queue comes out of the for_each_possible_cpu()
loop, since they're all equally good for the destruction operation.

At the moment, balance_tasks() provides low level functionality for both
move_tasks() and move_one_task() (indirectly) via the load_balance()
function (in the sched_class interface) which also provides dual
functionality. This dual functionality complicates the interfaces and
internal mechanisms and makes the run time overhead of operations that
are called with two run queue locks held.
This patch addresses this issue and reduces the overhead of these
operations.

A full register dump along with stack backtrace would make the
"scheduling while atomic" message more helpful. Use show_regs() instead
of dump_stack() for this. We already know we're atomic in here (that is
why this function was called) so show_regs()'s atomicity expectations
are guaranteed.
Also, modify the output of the "BUG: scheduling while atomic:" header a
bit to keep task->comm and task->pid together and preempt_count() after
them.

commit 029190c515f15f512ac85de8fc686d4dbd0ae731 (cpuset
sched_load_balance flag) was not tested SCHED_DEBUG enabled as
committed as it dereferences NULL when used and it reordered
the sysctl registration to cause it to never show any domains
or their tunables.
Fixes:
1) restore arch_init_sched_domains ordering
we can't walk the domains before we build them
presently we register cpus with empty directories (no domain
directories or files).
2) make unregister_sched_domain_sysctl do nothing when already unregistered
detach_destroy_domains is now called one set of cpus at a time
unregister_syctl dereferences NULL if called with a null.
While the the function would always dereference null if called
twice, in the previous code it was always called once and then
was followed a register. So only the hidden bug of the
sysctl_root_table not being allocated followed by an attempt to
free it would have shown the error.
3) always call unregister and register in partition_sched_domains
The code is "smart" about unregistering only needed domains.
Since we aren't guaranteed any calls to unregister, always
unregister. Without calling register on the way out we
will not have a table or any sysctl tree.
4) warn if register is called without unregistering
The previous table memory is lost, leaving pointers to the
later freed memory in sysctl and leaking the memory of the
tables.
Before this patch on a 2-core 4-thread box compiled for SMT and NUMA,
the domains appear empty (there are actually 3 levels per cpu). And as
soon as two domains a null pointer is dereferenced (unreliable in this
case is stack garbage):

As it is some callers of synchronize_irq rely on memory barriers
to provide synchronisation against the IRQ handlers. For example,
the tg3 driver does
tp->irq_sync = 1;
smp_mb();
synchronize_irq();
and then in the IRQ handler:
if (!tp->irq_sync)
netif_rx_schedule(dev, &tp->napi);
Unfortunately memory barriers only work well when they come in
pairs. Because we don't actually have memory barriers on the
IRQ path, the memory barrier before the synchronize_irq() doesn't
actually protect us.
In particular, synchronize_irq() may return followed by the
result of netif_rx_schedule being made visible.
This patch (mostly written by Linus) fixes this by using spin
locks instead of memory barries on the synchronize_irq() path.

New kind of audit rule predicates: "object is visible in given subtree".
The part that can be sanely implemented, that is. Limitations:
* if you have hardlink from outside of tree, you'd better watch
it too (or just watch the object itself, obviously)
* if you mount something under a watched tree, tell audit
that new chunk should be added to watched subtrees
* if you umount something in a watched tree and it's still mounted
elsewhere, you will get matches on events happening there. New command
tells audit to recalculate the trees, trimming such sources of false
positives.
Note that it's _not_ about path - if something mounted in several places
(multiple mount, bindings, different namespaces, etc.), the match does
_not_ depend on which one we are using for access.

However, what you did for avr32 seems more on the right track to me: make

This patch adds a extended crashkernel syntax that makes the value of reserved
system RAM dependent on the system RAM itself:
crashkernel=<range1>:<size1>[,<range2>:<size2>,...][@offset]
range=start-[end]
For example:
crashkernel=512M-2G:64M,2G-:128M
The motivation comes from distributors that configure their crashkernel
command line automatically with some configuration tool (YaST, you know ;)).
Of course that tool knows the value of System RAM, but if the user removes
RAM, then the system becomes unbootable or at least unusable and error
handling is very difficult.
This series implements this change for i386, x86_64, ia64, ppc64 and sh. That
should be all platforms that support kdump in current mainline. I tested all
platforms except sh due to the lack of a sh processor.
This patch:
This is the generic part of the patch. It adds a parse_crashkernel() function
in kernel/kexec.c that is called by the architecture specific code that
actually reserves the memory. That function takes the whole command line and
looks itself for "crashkernel=" in it.
If there are multiple occurrences, then the last one is taken. The advantage
is that if you have a bootloader like lilo or elilo which allows you to append
a command line parameter but not to remove one (like in GRUB), then you can
add another crashkernel value for testing at the boot command line and this
one overwrites the command line in the configuration then.

When a cpu is disabled, move_task_off_dead_cpu() is called for tasks that have
been running on that cpu.
Currently, such a task is migrated:
1) to any cpu on the same node as the disabled cpu, which is both online
and among that task's cpus_allowed
2) to any cpu which is both online and among that task's cpus_allowed
It is typical of a multithreaded application running on a large NUMA system to
have its tasks confined to a cpuset so as to cluster them near the memory that
they share. Furthermore, it is typical to explicitly place such a task on a
specific cpu in that cpuset. And in that case the task's cpus_allowed
includes only a single cpu.
This patch would insert a preference to migrate such a task to some cpu within
its cpuset (and set its cpus_allowed to its entire cpuset).
With this patch, migrate the task to:
1) to any cpu on the same node as the disabled cpu, which is both online
and among that task's cpus_allowed
2) to any online cpu within the task's cpuset
3) to any cpu which is both online and among that task's cpus_allowed
In order to do this, move_task_off_dead_cpu() must make a call to
cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked(), a new subset of cpuset_cpus_allowed(), that will
not block. (name change - per Oleg's suggestion)
Calls are made to cpuset_lock() and cpuset_unlock() in migration_call() to set
the cpuset mutex during the whole migrate_live_tasks() and
migrate_dead_tasks() procedure.

Replace "cont" with "cgrp" and other misc renaming
This patch finishes some of the names that got missed in the great
"task containers" -> "control groups" rename. Primarily it renames
the local variable "cont" to "cgrp" in a number of places, and renames
the CONT_* enum members to CGRP_*.
This patch is not intended to have any effect on the generated code;
the output of "objdump -d kernel/cgroup.o" is unchanged.

There are two places that do so - the cgroups subsystem and the autofs
code.

The task_struct->pid member is going to be deprecated, so start
using the helpers (task_pid_nr/task_pid_vnr/task_pid_nr_ns) in
the kernel.
The first thing to start with is the pid, printed to dmesg - in
this case we may safely use task_pid_nr(). Besides, printks produce
more (much more) than a half of all the explicit pid usage.

The pgrp field is not used widely around the kernel so it is now marked as
deprecated with appropriate comment.
The initialization of INIT_SIGNALS is trimmed because
a) they are set to 0 automatically;
b) gcc cannot properly initialize two anonymous (the second one
is the one with the session) unions. In this particular case
to make it compile we'd have to add some field initialized
right before the .pgrp.
This is the same patch as the 1ec320afdc9552c92191d5f89fcd1ebe588334ca one
(from Cedric), but for the pgrp field.
Some progress report:
We have to deprecate the pid, tgid, session and pgrp fields on struct
task_struct and struct signal_struct. The session and pgrp are already
deprecated. The tgid value is close to being such - the worst known usage
in in fs/locks.c and audit code. The pid field deprecation is mainly
blocked by numerous printk-s around the kernel that print the tsk->pid to
log.
