2007-08-27fix bogus hotplug cpu warningHugh Dickins
Fix bogus DEBUG_PREEMPT warning on x86_64, when cpu brought online after bootup: current_is_keventd is right to note its use of smp_processor_id is preempt-safe, but should use raw_smp_processor_id to avoid the warning.

2007-08-25sched: s/sched_latency/sched_min_granularityIngo Molnar
runtime limit and wakeup granularity used to be a function of granularity and that was incorrect changed to sched_latency. Fix this to make wakeup granularity a function of min-granularity, and the runtime limit equal to latency. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-08-25sched: cleanup, sched_granularity -> sched_min_granularityIngo Molnar
due to adaptive granularity scheduling the role of sched_granularity has changed to "minimum granularity", so rename the variable (and the tunable) accordingly. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>
2007-08-25sched: adaptive scheduler granularityPeter Zijlstra
Instead of specifying the preemption granularity, specify the wanted latency. By fixing the granlarity to a constany the wakeup latency it a function of the number of running tasks on the rq. Invert this relation. sysctl_sched_granularity becomes a minimum for the dynamic granularity computed from the new sysctl_sched_latency. Then use this latency to do more intelligent granularity decisions: if there are fewer tasks running then we can schedule coarser. This helps performance while still always keeping the latency target. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

current code: delta = calc_delta_mine(delta_exec, curr->load.weight, lw); delta = min((u64)delta, cfs_rq->sleeper_bonus); Notice that this calc_delta_mine() line is exactly delta_mine, which gives: delta = min((u64)delta_mine, cfs_rq->sleeper_bonus); Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2007-08-24sched: tidy up and simplify the bonus balanceIngo Molnar
make the bonus balance more consistent: do not hand out a bonus if there's too much in flight already, and only deduct as much from a runner as it has the capacity. This makes the bonus engine a zero-sum game (as intended). this also simplifies the code: text data bss dec hex filename 34770 2998 24 37792 93a0 sched.o.before 34749 2998 24 37771 938b sched.o.after and it also avoids overscheduling in sleep-happy workloads like hackbench.c.

2007-08-24sched: optimize task_tick_rt() a bitDmitry Adamushko
Mitchell Erblich suggested a quality-of-implementation change to not requeue SCHED_RR tasks if there's only a single task on the runqueue, by checking for rq->nr_running == 1. provide a more efficient implementation of that, to check that particular RT priority-queue only. [ From: mingo@elte.hu ] Also first requeue the task then set need_resched - results in slightly better machine-instruction ordering. Also clean up the code a bit.

remove HZ dependency from the granularity default. Use 10 msec for the base granularity, 1 msec for wakeup granularity and 25 msec for batch wakeup granularity. (These defaults are close to the values that the default HZ=250 setting got previously, and thus it's the most common setting.) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2007-08-23sched: skip updating rq's next_balance under null SDSuresh Siddha
Was playing with sched_smt_power_savings/sched_mc_power_savings and found out that while the scheduler domains are reconstructed when sysfs settings change, rebalance_domains() can get triggered with null domain on other cpus, which is setting next_balance to jiffies + 60*HZ.

2007-08-23sched: fix broken SMT/MC optimizationsSuresh Siddha
On a four package system with HT - HT load balancing optimizations were broken. For example, if two tasks end up running on two logical threads of one of the packages, scheduler is not able to pull one of the tasks to a completely idle package. In this scenario, for nice-0 tasks, imbalance calculated by scheduler will be 512 and find_busiest_queue() will return 0 (as each cpu's load is 1024 > imbalance and has only one task running). Similarly MC scheduler optimizations also get fixed with this patch.

2007-08-23sched: sched_clock_idle_[sleep|wakeup]_event()Ingo Molnar
construct a more or less wall-clock time out of sched_clock(), by using ACPI-idle's existing knowledge about how much time we spent idling. This allows the rq clock to work around TSC-stops-in-C2, TSC-gets-corrupted-in-C3 type of problems. ( Besides the scheduler's statistics this also benefits blktrace and printk-timestamps as well. ) Furthermore, the precise before-C2/C3-sleep and after-C2/C3-wakeup callbacks allow the scheduler to get out the most of the period where the CPU has a reliable TSC. This results in slightly more precise task statistics. the ACPI bits were acked by Len. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Acked-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2007-08-22signalfd: fix interaction with posix-timersOleg Nesterov
dequeue_signal: if (__SI_TIMER) { spin_unlock(&tsk->sighand->siglock); do_schedule_next_timer(info); spin_lock(&tsk->sighand->siglock); } Unless tsk == curent, this is absolutely unsafe: nothing prevents tsk from exiting. If signalfd was passed to another process, do_schedule_next_timer() is just wrong. Add yet another "tsk == current" check into dequeue_signal(). This patch fixes an oopsable bug, but breaks the scheduling of posix timers if the shared __SI_TIMER signal was fetched via signalfd attached to another sub-thread. Mostly fixed by the next patch.

2007-08-22posix-timers: fix creation raceOleg Nesterov
sys_timer_create() sets ->it_process and unlocks ->siglock, then checks tmr->it_sigev_notify to define if get_task_struct() is needed. We already passed ->it_id to the caller, another thread can delete this timer and free its memory in between. As a minimal fix, move this code under ->siglock, sys_timer_delete() takes it too before calling release_posix_timer(). A proper serialization would be to take ->it_lock, we add a partly initialized timer on posix_timers_id, not good.

This allows release_posix_timer() to delete the timer before the lock code can check the timer: CPU 0 CPU 1 lock_timer(); timer->it_process = NULL; unlock_timer(); lock_timer() spin_lock(idr_lock); timer = idr_find(); spin_lock(timer->lock); spin_unlock(idr_lock); release_posix_timer(); spin_lock(idr_lock); idr_remove(timer); spin_unlock(idr_lock); free_timer(timer); if (timer->......)

2007-08-11fix compilation with gcc 4.2Peter Chubb
gcc-4.2 is a lot more picky about its symbol handling. EXPORT_SYMBOL no longer works on symbols that are undefined or defined with static scope. For example, with CONFIG_PROFILE off, I see: kernel/profile.c:206: error: __ksymtab_profile_event_unregister causes a section type conflict kernel/profile.c:205: error: __ksymtab_profile_event_register causes a section type conflict This patch moves the EXPORTs inside the #ifdef CONFIG_PROFILE, so we only try to export symbols that are defined. Also, in kernel/kprobes.c there's an EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() for jprobes_return, which if CONFIG_JPROBES is undefined is a static inline and gives the same error. And in drivers/acpi/resources/rsxface.c, there's an ACPI_EXPORT_SYMBOPL() for a static symbol. If it's static, it's not accessible from outside the compilation unit, so should bot be exported.
