KOSAKI Motohiro 1e1b6c511d cpuset: Fix cpuset_cpus_allowed_fallback(), don't update tsk->rt.nr_cpus_allowed
The rule is, we have to update tsk->rt.nr_cpus_allowed if we change
tsk->cpus_allowed. Otherwise RT scheduler may confuse.

Peter Zijlstra d6aa8f85f1 sched: Fix ttwu() for __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW
Marc reported that e4a52bcb9 (sched: Remove rq->lock from the first
half of ttwu()) broke his ARM-SMP machine. Now ARM is one of the few
__ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW users, so that exception in the ttwu()
code was suspect.

Yong found that the interrupt could hit after context_switch() changes
current but before it clears p->on_cpu, if that interrupt were to
attempt a wake-up of p we would indeed find ourselves spinning in IRQ
context.

Fix this by reverting to the old behaviour for this situation and
perform a full remote wake-up.

Ben Blum f780bdb7c1 cgroups: add per-thread subsystem callbacks
Add cgroup subsystem callbacks for per-thread attachment in atomic contexts

Add can_attach_task(), pre_attach(), and attach_task() as new callbacks
for cgroups's subsystem interface.  Unlike can_attach and attach, these
are for per-thread operations, to be called potentially many times when
attaching an entire threadgroup.

Also, the old "bool threadgroup" interface is removed, as replaced by
this.  All subsystems are modified for the new interface - of note is
cpuset, which requires from/to nodemasks for attach to be globally scoped
(though per-cpuset would work too) to persist from its pre_attach to
attach_task and attach.

This is a pre-patch for cgroup-procs-writable.patch.

Nikhil Rao c8b281161d sched: Increase SCHED_LOAD_SCALE resolution
Introduce SCHED_LOAD_RESOLUTION, which scales is added to
SCHED_LOAD_SHIFT and increases the resolution of
SCHED_LOAD_SCALE. This patch sets the value of
SCHED_LOAD_RESOLUTION to 10, scaling up the weights for all
sched entities by a factor of 1024. With this extra resolution,
we can handle deeper cgroup hiearchies and the scheduler can do
better shares distribution and load load balancing on larger
systems (especially for low weight task groups).

This does not change the existing user interface, the scaled
weights are only used internally. We do not modify
prio_to_weight values or inverses, but use the original weights
when calculating the inverse which is used to scale execution
time delta in calc_delta_mine(). This ensures we do not lose
accuracy when accounting time to the sched entities. Thanks to
Nikunj Dadhania for fixing an bug in c_d_m() that broken fairness.

Below is some analysis of the performance costs/improvements of
this patch.

1. Micro-arch performance costs:

Experiment was to run Ingo's pipe_test_100k 200 times with the
task pinned to one cpu. I measured instruction, cycles and
stalled-cycles for the runs. See:

   http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1129232/focus=1129389

for more info.

-tip (baseline):

 Performance counter stats for '/root/load-scale/pipe-test-100k' (200 runs):

       964,991,769 instructions             #    0.82  insns per cycle

       316,835,873 stalled-cycles-frontend  #   26.96% frontend cycles idle     ( +-  0.29% )

        1.122238659  seconds time elapsed  ( +-  0.06% )

With this patch, instructions decrease by ~0.10% and cycles
increase by 0.27%. This doesn't look statistically significant.
The number of stalled cycles in the backend increased from
26.16% to 26.83%. This can be attributed to the shifts we do in
c_d_m() and other places. The fraction of stalled cycles in the
frontend remains about the same, at 26.96% compared to 26.89% in -tip.

2. Balancing low-weight task groups

Test setup: run 50 tasks with random sleep/busy times (biased
around 100ms) in a low weight container (with cpu.shares = 2).
Measure %idle as reported by mpstat over a 10s window.

Stephan Baerwolf db670dac49 sched: Fix and optimise calculation of the weight-inverse
If the inverse loadweight should be zero, function "calc_delta_mine"
calculates the inverse of "lw->weight" (in 32bit integer ops).

This calculation is actually a little bit impure (because it is
inverting something around "lw-weight"+1), especially when
"lw->weight" becomes smaller.

The correct inverse would be 1/lw->weight multiplied by
"WMULT_CONST" for fixcomma-scaling it into integers.
(So WMULT_CONST/lw->weight ...)

The old, impure algorithm took two divisions for inverting lw->weight,
the new, more exact one only takes one and an additional unlikely-if.

Jonathan Corbet 625f2a378e sched: Get rid of lock_depth
Neil Brown pointed out that lock_depth somehow escaped the BKL
removal work.  Let's get rid of it now.

Note that the perf scripting utilities still have a bunch of
code for dealing with common_lock_depth in tracepoints; I have
left that in place in case anybody wants to use that code with
older kernels.

Peter Zijlstra 057f3fadb3 sched: Fix sched_domain iterations vs. RCU
Vladis Kletnieks reported a new RCU debug warning in the scheduler.

Since commit dce840a087 ("sched: Dynamically allocate sched_domain/
sched_group data-structures") the sched_domain trees are protected by
RCU instead of RCU-sched.

This means that we need to include rcu_read_lock() protection when we
iterate them since disabling preemption doesn't suffice anymore.

Jens Axboe a237c1c5bc block: let io_schedule() flush the plug inline
Linus correctly observes that the most important dispatch cases
are now done from kblockd, this isn't ideal for latency reasons.
The original reason for switching dispatches out-of-line was to
avoid too deep a stack, so by _only_ letting the "accidental"
flush directly in schedule() be guarded by offload to kblockd,
we should be able to get the best of both worlds.

So add a blk_schedule_flush_plug() that offloads to kblockd,
and only use that from the schedule() path.

Now that we've removed the rq->lock requirement from the first part of

Peter Zijlstra e4a52bcb9a sched: Remove rq->lock from the first half of ttwu()
Currently ttwu() does two rq->lock acquisitions, once on the task's
old rq, holding it over the p->state fiddling and load-balance pass.
Then it drops the old rq->lock to acquire the new rq->lock.

By having serialized ttwu(), p->sched_class, p->cpus_allowed with
p->pi_lock, we can now drop the whole first rq->lock acquisition.

The p->pi_lock serializing concurrent ttwu() calls protects p->state,
which we will set to TASK_WAKING to bridge possible p->pi_lock to
rq->lock gaps and serialize set_task_cpu() calls against
task_rq_lock().

The p->pi_lock serialization of p->sched_class allows us to call
scheduling class methods without holding the rq->lock, and the
serialization of p->cpus_allowed allows us to do the load-balancing
bits without races.
