simple_set_mnt() is defined as returning 'int' but always returns 0.
Callers assume simple_set_mnt() never fails and don't properly cleanup if
it were to _ever_ fail. For instance, get_sb_single() and get_sb_nodev()
should:
up_write(sb->s_unmount);
deactivate_super(sb);
if simple_set_mnt() fails.
Since simple_set_mnt() never fails, would be cleaner if it did not
return anything.

Impact: cleanup
Add /** style comments around find_busiest_group(). Also add a few
explanatory comments.
This concludes the find_busiest_group() cleanup. The function is

Impact: cleanup
Create seperate helper functions to initialize the
power-savings-balance related variables, to update them and
to check if we have a scope for performing power-savings balance.
Add no-op inline functions for the !(CONFIG_SCHED_MC || CONFIG_SCHED_SMT)
case.
This will eliminate all the #ifdef jungle in find_busiest_group() and the
other helper functions.

Impact: cleanup, micro-optimization
We don't need to perform power_savings balance if either the
cpu is NOT_IDLE or if the sched_domain doesn't contain the
SD_POWERSAVINGS_BALANCE flag set.
Currently, we check for these conditions multiple number of
times, even though these variables don't change over the scope
of find_busiest_group().
Check once, and store the value in the already exiting
"power_savings_balance" variable.

Move all the imbalance calculation out of find_busiest_group()
through this helper function.
With this change, the structure of find_busiest_group() will be
as follows:
- update_sched_domain_statistics.
- check if imbalance exits.
- update imbalance and return busiest.

This patch combines Greg Bank's dprintk() work with the existing dynamic
printk patchset, we are now calling it 'dynamic debug'.
The new feature of this patchset is a richer /debugfs control file interface,
(an example output from my system is at the bottom), which allows fined grained
control over the the debug output. The output can be controlled by function,
file, module, format string, and line number.
for example, enabled all debug messages in module 'nf_conntrack':
echo -n 'module nf_conntrack +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control
to disable them:
echo -n 'module nf_conntrack -p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control
A further explanation can be found in the documentation patch.

following fields from struct rq have been removed: yld_exp_empty,
yld_act_empty and yld_both_empty.
Both Sched Debug and SCHEDSTAT_VERSION versions has also been
incremented since ABIs have been changed.
The schedtop tool has been updated to properly handle new version of

See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12911
copy_signal() copies signal->rlim, but RLIMIT_CPU is "lost". Because
posix_cpu_timers_init_group() sets cputime_expires.prof_exp = 0 and thus
fastpath_timer_check() returns false unless we have other cpu timers.
This is the minimal fix for 2.6.29 (tested) and 2.6.28. The patch is not
optimal, we need further cleanups here. With this patch update_rlimit_cpu()
is not really needed, but I don't think it should be removed.
The proper fix (I think) is:
- set_process_cpu_timer() should just start the cputimer->running
logic (it does), no need to change cputime_expires.xxx_exp
- posix_cpu_timers_init_group() should set ->running when needed
- fastpath_timer_check() can check ->running instead of
task_cputime_zero(signal->cputime_expires)

This patch fixes bug #12208:
Bug-Entry : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12208
Subject : uml is very slow on 2.6.28 host
This turned out to be not a scheduler regression, but an already
existing problem in ptrace being triggered by subtle scheduler
changes.
The problem is this:
- task A is ptracing task B
- task B stops on a trace event
- task A is woken up and preempts task B
- task A calls ptrace on task B, which does ptrace_check_attach()
- this calls wait_task_inactive(), which sees that task B is still on the runq
- task A goes to sleep for a jiffy
- ...
Since UML does lots of the above sequences, those jiffies quickly add
up to make it slow as hell.
This patch solves this by not rescheduling in read_unlock() after
ptrace_stop() has woken up the tracer.
Thanks to Oleg Nesterov and Ingo Molnar for the feedback.

Impact: more precise avg_overlap metric - better load-balancing
avg_overlap is used to measure the runtime overlap of the waker and
wakee.
However, when a process changes behaviour, eg a pipe becomes
un-congested and we don't need to go to sleep after a wakeup
for a while, the avg_overlap value grows stale.
When running we use the avg runtime between preemption as a
measure for avg_overlap since the amount of runtime can be
correlated to cache footprint.
The longer we run, the less likely we'll be wanting to be
migrated to another CPU.

We were returning early in the sysfs directory cleanup function if the
user belonged to a non init usernamespace. Due to this a lot of the
cleanup was not done and we were left with a leak. Fix the leak.

Impact: micro-optimization
We can avoid the sched domain walk on try_to_wake_up() when we know
there are no groups.

CLONE_PARENT can fool the ->self_exec_id/parent_exec_id logic. If we
re-use the old parent, we must also re-use ->parent_exec_id to make
sure exit_notify() sees the right ->xxx_exec_id's when the CLONE_PARENT'ed
task exits.
Also, move down the "p->parent_exec_id = p->self_exec_id" thing, to place
two different cases together.

Reason for this is that cpu time accounting usually only happens from
interrupt context, but acct_update_integrals gets also called from
process context with interrupts enabled.
So in acct_update_integrals we may end up with the following scenario:
Between reading tsk->stime/tsk->utime and tsk->acct_timexpd an interrupt
happens which updates accouting values. This causes acct_timexpd to be
greater than the former stime + utime. The subsequent calculation of
dtime = cputime_sub(time, tsk->acct_timexpd);
will be negative and the division performed by
cputime_to_jiffies(dtime)
will generate an exception since the result won't fit into a 32 bit
register.
In order to fix this just always disable interrupts while accessing any
of the accounting values.

Impact: cleanup
Use test_tsk_need_resched(), set_tsk_need_resched(), need_resched()
instead of using TIF_NEED_RESCHED.
