* sched, x86: clean up hrtick implementationPeter Zijlstra2008-07-201-142/+60

Initially I needed it because the hrtimer base lock could not nest in the rq lock. That however is fixed these days. Currently the only reason left to fiddle with the TIF flags is remote wakeups. We cannot program a remote cpu's hrtimer. I've been thinking about using the new and improved IPI function call stuff to implement hrtimer_start_on(). However that does require that smp_call_function_single(.wait=0) works from interrupt context - /me looks at the latest series from Jens - Yes that does seem to be supported, good. Here's a stab at cleaning this stuff up ... Mihai reported test success as well.

A lot of kernel core code is taken from the RT patch latency trace that was written by Ingo Molnar. This adds "preemptoff" and "preemptirqsoff" to /debugfs/tracing/available_tracers Now instead of just tracing irqs off, preemption off can be selected to be recorded. When this is selected, it shares the same files as irqs off timings. One can either trace preemption off, irqs off, or one or the other off. By echoing "preemptoff" into /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer, recording of preempt off only is performed. "irqsoff" will only record the time irqs are disabled, but "preemptirqsoff" will take the total time irqs or preemption are disabled. Runtime switching of these options is now supported by simpling echoing in the appropriate trace name into /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer.

There is no reason why an rt to cfs interaction cannot share in establishing a relationhip in a similar manner. Because PREEMPT_RT runs many kernel threads as FIFO priority, we often times have heavy interaction between RT threads waking CFS applications. This patch offers a substantial boost (50-60%+) in perfomance under those circumstances.

We should use the load value for that CPU. By not needing per domain hierarchical load values we don't need to store per domain aggregate shares, which greatly simplifies all the math. It basically falls apart in two separate computations: - per domain update of the shares - per CPU update of the hierarchical load Also get rid of the move_group_shares() stuff - just re-compute the shares again after a successful load balance.

To avoid this situation partially re-do the aggregation once we have the RQs locked (which avoids new tasks from appearing).
