It does not get processed because sched_domain_level_max is 0 at the
time that setup_relax_domain_level() is run.
Simply accept the value as it is, as we don't know the value of
sched_domain_level_max until sched domain construction is completed.
Fix sched_relax_domain_level in cpuset. The build_sched_domain() routine calls
the set_domain_attribute() routine prior to setting the sd->level, however,
the set_domain_attribute() routine relies on the sd->level to decide whether
idle load balancing will be off/on.

Often when we run into mis-shapen topologies the balance iteration
fails to update the cpu power properly and we'll end up in /0 traps.
Always initialize the cpu-power to a semi-sane value so that we can
at least boot the machine, even if the load-balancer might not
function correctly.

Weird topologies can lead to asymmetric domain setups. This needs
further consideration since these setups are typically non-minimal
too.
For now, make it work by adding an extra mask selecting which CPUs
are allowed to iterate up.
The topology that triggered it is the one from David Rientjes:
10 20 20 30
20 10 20 20
20 20 10 20
30 20 20 10
resulting in boxes that wouldn't even boot.

Roland Dreier reported spurious, hard to trigger lockdep warnings
within the scheduler - without any real lockup.
This bit gives us the right clue:
> [89945.640512] [<ffffffff8103fa1a>] double_lock_balance+0x5a/0x90
> [89945.640568] [<ffffffff8104c546>] push_rt_task+0xc6/0x290
if you look at that code you'll find the double_lock_balance() in
question is the one in find_lock_lowest_rq() [yay for inlining].
Now find_lock_lowest_rq() has a bug.. it fails to use
double_unlock_balance() in one exit path, if this results in a retry in
push_rt_task() we'll call double_lock_balance() again, at which point
we'll run into said lockdep confusion.

Commit cb83b629b ("sched/numa: Rewrite the CONFIG_NUMA sched
domain support") removed the NODE sched domain and started checking
if the node distance in SLIT table is farther than REMOTE_DISTANCE,
if so, it will lose the load balance chance at exec/fork/wake_affine
points.
But actually, even the node distance is farther than REMOTE_DISTANCE.
Modern CPUs also has QPI like connections, which ensures that memory
access is not too slow between nodes. So the above change in behavior
on NUMA machine causes a performance regression on various benchmarks:
hackbench, tbench, netperf, oltp, etc.
This patch will recover the scheduler behavior to old mode on all my
Intel platforms: NHM EP/EX, WSM EP, SNB EP/EP4S, and thus fixes the
perfromance regressions. (all of them just have 2 kinds distance, 10, 21)

Does block_sigmask() + tracehook_signal_handler(); called when
sigframe has been successfully built. All architectures converted
to it; block_sigmask() itself is gone now (merged into this one).
I'm still not too happy with the signature, but that's a separate
story (IMO we need a structure that would contain signal number +
siginfo + k_sigaction, so that get_signal_to_deliver() would fill one,
signal_delivered(), handle_signal() and probably setup...frame() -
take one).

When we do restore we would like to have a way to setup a former
mm_struct::exe_file so that /proc/pid/exe would point to the original
executable file a process had at checkpoint time.
For this the PR_SET_MM_EXE_FILE code is introduced. This option takes a
file descriptor which will be set as a source for new /proc/$pid/exe
symlink.
Note it allows to change /proc/$pid/exe if there are no VM_EXECUTABLE
vmas present for current process, simply because this feature is a special
to C/R and mm::num_exe_file_vmas become meaningless after that.
To minimize the amount of transition the /proc/pid/exe symlink might have,
this feature is implemented in one-shot manner. Thus once changed the
symlink can't be changed again. This should help sysadmins to monitor the
symlinks over all process running in a system.
In particular one could make a snapshot of processes and ring alarm if
there unexpected changes of /proc/pid/exe's in a system.
Note -- this feature is available iif CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is set and
the caller must have CAP_SYS_RESOURCE capability granted, otherwise the
request to change symlink will be rejected.

During checkpoint we dump whole process memory to a file and the dump
includes process stack memory. But among stack data itself, the stack
carries additional parameters such as command line arguments, environment
data and auxiliary vector.
So when we do restore procedure and once we've restored stack data itself
we need to setup mm_struct::arg_start/end, env_start/end, so restored
process would be able to find command line arguments and environment data
it had at checkpoint time. The same applies to auxiliary vector.
For this reason additional PR_SET_MM_(ARG_START | ARG_END | ENV_START |
ENV_END | AUXV) codes are introduced.

While doing the checkpoint-restore in the user space one need to determine
whether various kernel objects (like mm_struct-s of file_struct-s) are
shared between tasks and restore this state.
The 2nd step can be solved by using appropriate CLONE_ flags and the
unshare syscall, while there's currently no ways for solving the 1st one.
One of the ways for checking whether two tasks share e.g. mm_struct is to
provide some mm_struct ID of a task to its proc file, but showing such
info considered to be not that good for security reasons.
Thus after some debates we end up in conclusion that using that named
'comparison' syscall might be the best candidate. So here is it --
__NR_kcmp.
It takes up to 5 arguments - the pids of the two tasks (which
characteristics should be compared), the comparison type and (in case of
comparison of files) two file descriptors.
Lookups for pids are done in the caller's PID namespace only.
At moment only x86 is supported and tested.

Using task_active_pid_ns is more robust because it works even after we
have called exit_namespaces. This change allows us to have parent
processes that are zombies. Normally a zombie parent processes is crazy
and the last thing you would want to have but in the case of not letting
the init process of a pid namespace be reaped until all of it's children
are dead and reaped a zombie parent process is exactly what we want.

Many architectures clear tasks' mm_cpumask like this:
read_lock(&tasklist_lock);
for_each_process(p) {
if (p->mm)
cpumask_clear_cpu(cpu, mm_cpumask(p->mm));
}
read_unlock(&tasklist_lock);
Depending on the context, the code above may have several problems,
such as:
1. Working with task->mm w/o getting mm or grabing the task lock is
dangerous as ->mm might disappear (exit_mm() assigns NULL under
task_lock(), so tasklist lock is not enough).
2. Checking for process->mm is not enough because process' main
thread may exit or detach its mm via use_mm(), but other threads
may still have a valid mm.
This patch implements a small helper function that does things
correctly, i.e.:
1. We take the task's lock while whe handle its mm (we can't use
get_task_mm()/mmput() pair as mmput() might sleep);
2. To catch exited main thread case, we use find_lock_task_mm(),
which walks up all threads and returns an appropriate task
(with task lock held).
Also, Per Peter Zijlstra's idea, now we don't grab tasklist_lock in
the new helper, instead we take the rcu read lock. We can do this
because the function is called after the cpu is taken down and marked
offline, so no new tasks will get this cpu set in their mm mask.

warning printk helps distinguish which instances of a program are using
the stack most.
This is a small patch, but useful.

Commit 8f92054e7ca1 ("CRED: Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check and banner
comment"):
add the following validation condition:
task->exit_state >= 0
to permit the access if the target task is dead and therefore
unable to change its own credentials.
OK, but afaics currently this can only help wait_task_zombie() which calls
__task_cred() without rcu lock.
Remove this validation and change wait_task_zombie() to use task_uid()
instead. This means we do rcu_read_lock() only to shut up the lockdep,
but we already do the same in, say, wait_task_stopped().
task_is_dead() should die, task->exit_state != 0 means that this task has
passed exit_notify(), only do_wait-like code paths should use this.
Unfortunately, we can't kill task_is_dead() right now, it has already
acquired buggy users in drivers/staging. The fix already exists.

If we move call_usermodehelper_fns() to kmod.c file and EXPORT_SYMBOL it
we can avoid exporting all it's helper functions:
call_usermodehelper_setup
call_usermodehelper_setfns
call_usermodehelper_exec
And make all of them static to kmod.c
Since the optimizer will see all these as a single call site it will
inline them inside call_usermodehelper_fns(). So we loose the call to
_fns but gain 3 calls to the helpers. (Not that it matters)

Merge block/IO core bits from Jens Axboe:
"This is a bit bigger on the core side than usual, but that is purely
because we decided to hold off on parts of Tejun's submission on 3.4
to give it a bit more time to simmer. As a consequence, it's seen a
long cycle in for-next.
It contains:
- Bug fix from Dan, wrong locking type.
- Relax splice gifting restriction from Eric.
- A ton of updates from Tejun, primarily for blkcg. This improves
the code a lot, making the API nicer and cleaner, and also includes
fixes for how we handle and tie policies and re-activate on
switches. The changes also include generic bug fixes.
- A simple fix from Vivek, along with a fix for doing proper delayed
allocation of the blkcg stats."

task_tick_rt() has an optimization to only reschedule SCHED_RR tasks
if they were the only element on their rq. However, with cgroups
a SCHED_RR task could be the only element on its per-cgroup rq but
still be competing with other SCHED_RR tasks in its parent's
cgroup. In this case, the SCHED_RR task in the child cgroup would
never yield at the end of its timeslice. If the child cgroup
rt_runtime_us was the same as the parent cgroup rt_runtime_us,
the task in the parent cgroup would starve completely.
Modify task_tick_rt() to check that the task is the only task on its
rq, and that the each of the scheduling entities of its ancestors
is also the only entity on its rq.

SD_OVERLAP exists to allow overlapping groups, overlapping groups
appear in NUMA topologies that aren't fully connected.
The typical result of not fully connected NUMA is that each cpu (or
rather node) will have different spans for a particular distance.
However due to how sched domains are traversed -- only the first cpu
in the mask goes one level up -- the next level only cares about the
spans of the cpus that went up.
Due to this two things were observed to be broken:
- build_overlap_sched_groups() -- since its possible the cpu we're
building the groups for exists in multiple (or all) groups, the
selection criteria of the first group didn't ensure there was a cpu
for which is was true that cpumask_first(span) == cpu. Thus load-
balancing would terminate.
- update_group_power() -- assumed that the cpu span of the first
group of the domain was covered by all groups of the child domain.
The above explains why this isn't true, so deal with it.
