Generic support for PTRACE_GETREGSET/PTRACE_SETREGSET commands which
export the regsets supported by each architecture using the correponding
NT_* types. These NT_* types are already part of the userland ABI, used
in representing the architecture specific register sets as different NOTES
in an ELF core file.
'addr' parameter for the ptrace system call encode the REGSET type (using
the corresppnding NT_* type) and the 'data' parameter points to the
struct iovec having the user buffer and the length of that buffer.
struct iovec iov = { buf, len};
ret = ptrace(PTRACE_GETREGSET/PTRACE_SETREGSET, pid, NT_XXX_TYPE, &iov);
On successful completion, iov.len will be updated by the kernel specifying
how much the kernel has written/read to/from the user's iov.buf.
x86 extended state registers are primarily exported using this interface.

On platforms like dual socket quad-core platform, the scheduler load
balancer is not detecting the load imbalances in certain scenarios. This
is leading to scenarios like where one socket is completely busy (with
all the 4 cores running with 4 tasks) and leaving another socket
completely idle. This causes performance issues as those 4 tasks share
the memory controller, last-level cache bandwidth etc. Also we won't be
taking advantage of turbo-mode as much as we would like, etc.
Some of the comparisons in the scheduler load balancing code are
comparing the "weighted cpu load that is scaled wrt sched_group's
cpu_power" with the "weighted average load per task that is not scaled
wrt sched_group's cpu_power". While this has probably been broken for a
longer time (for multi socket numa nodes etc), the problem got aggrevated
via this recent change:

| Date: Tue Sep 1 10:34:32 2009 +0200
|
| sched: Restore __cpu_power to a straight sum of power
|
Also with this change, the sched group cpu power alone no longer reflects
the group capacity that is needed to implement MC, MT performance
(default) and power-savings (user-selectable) policies.
We need to use the computed group capacity (sgs.group_capacity, that is
computed using the SD_PREFER_SIBLING logic in update_sd_lb_stats()) to
find out if the group with the max load is above its capacity and how
much load to move etc.

setscheduler() saves task->sched_class outside of the rq->lock held
region for a check after the setscheduler changes have become
effective. That might result in checking a stale value.
rtmutex_setprio() has the same problem, though it is protected by
p->pi_lock against setscheduler(), but for correctness sake (and to
avoid bad examples) it needs to be fixed as well.
Retrieve task->sched_class inside of the rq->lock held region.

When CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING and CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT are
enabled we can call cpuacct_update_stats with values much larger
than percpu_counter_batch. This means the call to
percpu_counter_add will always add to the global count which is
protected by a spinlock and we end up with a global spinlock in
the scheduler.
Based on an idea by KOSAKI Motohiro, this patch scales the batch
value by cputime_one_jiffy such that we have the same batch
limit as we would if CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING was disabled.
His patch did this once at boot but that initialisation happened
too early on PowerPC (before time_init) and it was never updated
at runtime as a result of a hotplug cpu add/remove.
This patch instead scales percpu_counter_batch by
cputime_one_jiffy at runtime, which keeps the batch correct even
after cpu hotplug operations. We cap it at INT_MAX in case of
overflow.
For architectures that do not support
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING, cputime_one_jiffy is the constant 1
and gcc is smart enough to optimise min(s32
percpu_counter_batch, INT_MAX) to just percpu_counter_batch at
least on x86 and PowerPC. So there is no need to add an #ifdef.
On a 64 thread PowerPC box with CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING and
CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT enabled, a context switch microbenchmark
is 234x faster and almost matches a CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT
disabled kernel:
CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT disabled: 16906698 ctx switches/sec
CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT enabled: 61720 ctx switches/sec
CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT + patch: 16663217 ctx switches/sec
Tested with:
wget http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/context_switch.c
make context_switch
for i in `seq 0 63`; do taskset -c $i ./context_switch & done
vmstat 1

rtmutex_set_prio() is used to implement priority inheritance for
futexes. When a task is deboosted it gets enqueued at the tail of its
RT priority list. This is violating the POSIX scheduling semantics:
rt priority list X contains two runnable tasks A and B
task A runs with priority X and holds mutex M
task C preempts A and is blocked on mutex M
-> task A is boosted to priority of task C (Y)
task A unlocks the mutex M and deboosts itself
-> A is dequeued from rt priority list Y
-> A is enqueued to the tail of rt priority list X
task C schedules away
task B runs
This is wrong as task A did not schedule away and therefor violates
the POSIX scheduling semantics.
Enqueue the task to the head of the priority list instead.

We want to update the sched_group_powers when balance_cpu == this_cpu.
Currently the group powers are updated only if the balance_cpu is the

The two functions: load_balance{,_newidle}() are very similar, with the
following differences:
- rq->lock usage
- sb->balance_interval updates
- *balance check
So remove the load_balance_newidle() call with load_balance(.idle =
CPU_NEWLY_IDLE), explicitly unlock the rq->lock before calling (would be
done by double_lock_balance() anyway), and ignore the other differences
for now.

load_balance() and load_balance_newidle() look remarkably similar, one
key point they differ in is the condition on when to active balance.
So split out that logic into a separate function.
One side effect is that previously load_balance_newidle() used to fail
and return -1 under these conditions, whereas now it doesn't. I've not
yet fully figured out the whole -1 return case for either
load_balance{,_newidle}().

Thomas found that due to ttwu() changing a task's cpu without holding
the rq->lock, task_rq_lock() might end up locking the wrong rq.
Avoid this by serializing against TASK_WAKING.

Fix a SMT scheduler performance regression that is leading to a scenario
where SMT threads in one core are completely idle while both the SMT threads
in another core (on the same socket) are busy.
This is caused by this commit (with the problematic code highlighted)

sched: Try to deal with low capacity
@@ -4203,15 +4223,18 @@ find_busiest_queue()
...
for_each_cpu(i, sched_group_cpus(group)) {
+ unsigned long power = power_of(i);
...
- wl = weighted_cpuload(i);

continue;
On a SMT system, power of the HT logical cpu will be 589 and
the scheduler load imbalance (for scenarios like the one mentioned above)
can be approximately 1024 (SCHED_LOAD_SCALE). The above change of scaling
the weighted load with the power will result in "wl > imbalance" and
ultimately resulting in find_busiest_queue() return NULL, causing
load_balance() to think that the load is well balanced. But infact
one of the tasks can be moved to the idle core for optimal performance.
We don't need to use the weighted load (wl) scaled by the cpu power to
compare with imabalance. In that condition, we already know there is only a
single task "rq->nr_running == 1" and the comparison between imbalance,
wl is to make sure that we select the correct priority thread which matches
imbalance. So we really need to compare the imabalnce with the original
weighted load of the cpu and not the scaled load.
But in other conditions where we want the most hammered(busiest) cpu, we can
use scaled load to ensure that we consider the cpu power in addition to the
actual load on that cpu, so that we can move the load away from the
guy that is getting most hammered with respect to the actual capacity,
as compared with the rest of the cpu's in that busiest group.
Fix it.

This patch adds correct AMD NorthBridge event scheduling.
NB events are events measuring L3 cache, Hypertransport traffic. They are
identified by an event code >= 0xe0. They measure events on the
Northbride which is shared by all cores on a package. NB events are
counted on a shared set of counters. When a NB event is programmed in a
counter, the data actually comes from a shared counter. Thus, access to
those counters needs to be synchronized.
We implement the synchronization such that no two cores can be measuring
NB events using the same counters. Thus, we maintain a per-NB allocation
table. The available slot is propagated using the event_constraint
structure.

In certain situations, the kernel may need to stop and start the same
event rapidly. The current PMU callbacks do not distinguish between stop
and release (i.e., stop + free the resource). Thus, a counter may be
released, then it will be immediately re-acquired. Event scheduling will
again take place with no guarantee to assign the same counter. On some
processors, this may event yield to failure to assign the event back due
to competion between cores.
This patch is adding a new pair of callback to stop and restart a counter
without actually release the underlying counter resource. On stop, the
counter is stopped, its values saved and that's it. On start, the value
is reloaded and counter is restarted (on x86, actual restart is delayed
until perf_enable()).

DaveM reported that currently perf interprets the pgoff value reported by
the MMAP events as a byte range, but the kernel reports it as a page
offset.
Since its broken (and unusable) anyway, change the kernel behaviour (ABI)
to report bytes indeed, avoiding the need for userspace to deal with
PAGE_SIZE things.

ftrace or alternatives (on x86) when registering new probe.
If reserved, it returns an error and not register the probe.

Introducing *_text_reserved functions for checking the text
address range is partially reserved or not. This patch provides
checking routines for x86 smp alternatives and dynamic ftrace.
Since both functions modify fixed pieces of kernel text, they
should reserve and protect those from other dynamic text
modifier, like kprobes.
This will also be extended when introducing other subsystems
which modify fixed pieces of kernel text. Dynamic text modifiers
should avoid those.

Disable kprobe booster when CONFIG_PREEMPT=y at this time,
because it can't ensure that all kernel threads preempted on
kprobe's boosted slot run out from the slot even using
freeze_processes().
The booster on preemptive kernel will be resumed if
synchronize_tasks() or something like that is introduced.
