a53a8b5682 ppp: fix lost fragments in ppp_mp_explode() (resubmit)
This patch fixes the corner cases where the sum of MTU of the free
channels (adjusted for fragmentation overheads) is less than the MTU
of PPP link.  There are at least 3 situations where this case might
arise:

- some of the channels are busy

- the multilink session is running in a degraded state (i.e. with less
than its full complement of active channels)

- by design, where multilink protocol is being used to artificially
increase the effective link MTU of a single link.

Without this patch, at most 1 fragment is ever sent per free channel
for a given PPP frame and any remaining part of the PPP frame that
does not fit into those fragments is silently discarded.

This patch restores the original behaviour which was broken by commit
9c705260fe 'ppp:ppp_mp_explode()
redesign'.  Once all 'free' channels have been given a fragment, an
additional fragment is queued to each available channel in turn, as many
times as necessary, until the entire PPP frame has been consumed.

7334546a52 eeepc-laptop: fix hot-unplug on resume
OOPS on resume when the wireless adaptor is disabled during suspend was
introduced by "eeepc-laptop: read rfkill soft-blocked state on resume".

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference

Process s2disk
Tainted: G W
IP: klist_put

Call trace:
? klist_del
? device_del
? device_unregister
? pci_stop_dev
? pci_stop_bus
? pci_remove_device
? eeepc_rfkill_hotplug [eeepc_laptop]
? eeepc_hotk_resume [eeepc_laptop]
? acpi_device_resume
? device_resume
? hibernation_snapshot

It appears the PCI device is removed twice.  The eeepc_rfkill_hotplug()
call from the resume handler is racing against the call from the ACPI
notifier callback.  The ACPI notification is triggered by the resume
handler when it refreshes the value of CM_ASL_WLAN.

The fix is to serialize hotplug calls using a workqueue.

74b5820808 ACPI: bind workqueues to CPU 0 to avoid SMI corruption
On some machines, a software-initiated SMI causes corruption unless the
SMI runs on CPU 0.  An SMI can be initiated by any AML, but typically it's
done in GPE-related methods that are run via workqueues, so we can avoid
the known corruption cases by binding the workqueues to CPU 0.

e351b660fd lockdep: Reintroduce generation count to make BFS faster
We still can apply DaveM's generation count optimization to
BFS, based on the following idea:

 - before doing each BFS, increase the global generation id
   by 1

 - if one node in the graph has been visited, mark it as
   visited by storing the current global generation id into
   the node's dep_gen_id field

 - so we can decide if one node has been visited already, by
   comparing the node's dep_gen_id with the global generation id.

By applying DaveM's generation count optimization to current
implementation of BFS, we gain the following advantages:

 - we save MAX_LOCKDEP_ENTRIES/8 bytes memory;

 - we remove the bitmap_zero(bfs_accessed, MAX_LOCKDEP_ENTRIES);
   in each BFS, which is very time-consuming since
   MAX_LOCKDEP_ENTRIES may be very large.(16384UL)

bb97a91e25 lockdep: Deal with many similar locks
spin_lock_nest_lock() allows to take many instances of the same
class, this can easily lead to overflow of MAX_LOCK_DEPTH.

To avoid this overflow, we'll stop accounting instances but
start reference counting the class in the held_lock structure.

[ We could maintain a list of instances, if we'd move the hlock
  stuff into __lock_acquired(), but that would require
  significant modifications to the current code. ]

We restrict this mode to spin_lock_nest_lock() only, because it
degrades the lockdep quality due to lost of instance.

For lockstat this means we don't track lock statistics for any
but the first lock in the series.

Currently nesting is limited to 11 bits because that was the
spare space available in held_lock. This yields a 2048
instances maximium.

00aec93d10 sched: Fully integrate cpus_active_map and root-domain code
Reflect "active" cpus in the rq->rd->online field, instead of
the online_map.

The motivation is that things that use the root-domain code
(such as cpupri) only care about cpus classified as "active"
anyway. By synchronizing the root-domain state with the active
map, we allow several optimizations.

For instance, we can remove an extra cpumask_and from the
scheduler hotpath by utilizing rq->rd->online (since it is now
a cached version of cpu_active_map & rq->rd->span).

3f029d3c6d sched: Enhance the pre/post scheduling logic
We currently have an explicit "needs_post" vtable method which
returns a stack variable for whether we should later run
post-schedule.  This leads to an awkward exchange of the
variable as it bubbles back up out of the context switch. Peter
Zijlstra observed that this information could be stored in the
run-queue itself instead of handled on the stack.

Therefore, we revert to the method of having context_switch
return void, and update an internal rq->post_schedule variable
when we require further processing.

In addition, we fix a race condition where we try to access
current->sched_class without holding the rq->lock.  This is
technically racy, as the sched-class could change out from
under us.  Instead, we reference the per-rq post_schedule
variable with the runqueue unlocked, but with preemption
disabled to see if we need to reacquire the rq->lock.

Finally, we clean the code up slightly by removing the #ifdef
CONFIG_SMP conditionals from the schedule() call, and implement
some inline helper functions instead.

This patch passes checkpatch, and rt-migrate.

c3a2ae3d93 sched: Add new prio to cpupri before removing old prio
We need to add the new prio to the cpupri accounting before
removing the old prio. This is because removing the old prio
first will open a race window where the cpu will be removed

RT push and pulls. This could cause a RT task to not migrate
appropriately, and create a very large latency.

a5004278f0 sched: Fix cgroup smp fairness
Commit ec4e0e2fe0 ("fix
inconsistency when redistribute per-cpu tg->cfs_rq shares")
broke cgroup smp fairness.

In order to avoid starvation of newly placed tasks, we never
quite set the share of an empty cpu group-task to 0, but
instead we set it as if there's a single NICE-0 task present.

If however we actually set this in cfs_rq[cpu]->shares, that
means the total shares for that group will be slightly inflated
every time we balance, causing the observed unfairness.

Fix this by setting cfs_rq[cpu]->shares to 0 but actually
setting the effective weight of the related se to the inflated
number.

07903af152 sched: Fix race in cpupri introduced by cpumask_var changes
Background:

Several race conditions in the scheduler have cropped up
recently, which Steven and I have tracked down using ftrace.
The most recent one turns out to be a race in how the scheduler
determines a suitable migration target for RT tasks, introduced
recently with commit:

    commit 68e74568fb
    Date:   Tue Nov 25 02:35:13 2008 +1030

        sched: convert struct cpupri_vec cpumask_var_t.

The original design of cpupri allowed lockless readers to
quickly determine a best-estimate target.  Races between the
pri_active bitmap and the vec->mask were handled in the
original code because we would detect and return "0" when this
occured.  The design was predicated on the *effective*
atomicity (*) of caching the result of cpus_and() between the
cpus_allowed and the vec->mask.

Commit 68e74568 changed the behavior such that vec->mask is
accessed multiple times.  This introduces a subtle race, the
result of which means we can have a result that returns "1",
but with an empty bitmap.

*) yes, we know cpus_and() is not a locked operator across the
   entire composite array, but it is implicitly atomic on a
   per-word basis which is all the design required to work.

Implementation:

Rather than forgoing the lockless design, or reverting to a
stack-based cpumask_t, we simply check for when the race has
been encountered and continue processing in the event that the
race is hit.  This renders the removal race as if the priority
bit had been atomically cleared as well, and allows the
algorithm to execute correctly.

on the IRQ rate or sometimes they dominate the profile if
they are polling based.

Add mwait_idle_with_hints too, this is one of the idle
routines on x86.

9b30a26bf3 perf tools: Fix faulty check
This patch fixes a spelling error that has resulted from copy
and pasting. The location of the error was found using a
semantic patch but the semantic patch was not trying to find
these errors. After looking things over it seemed logical that
this change was needed. Please review it and then include the
patch if it is in fact the correct change.

9f498cc5be perf_counter: Full task tracing
In order to be able to distinguish between no samples due to
inactivity and no samples due to task ended, Arjan asked for
PERF_EVENT_EXIT events. This is useful to the boot delay
instrumentation (bootchart) app.

This patch changes the PERF_EVENT_FORK to be emitted on every
clone, and adds PERF_EVENT_EXIT to be emitted on task exit,
after the task's counters have been closed.

This task tracing is controlled through: attr.comm || attr.mmap
and through the new attr.task field.

e53c099470 perf_counter: Collapse inherit on read()
Currently the counter value returned by read() is the value of
the parent counter, to which child counters are only fed back
on child exit.

Thus read() can return rather erratic (and meaningless) numbers
depending on the state of the child processes.

Change this by always iterating the full child hierarchy on
read() and sum all counters.

c1dc0b9c0c debug lockups: Improve lockup detection
When debugging a recent lockup bug i found various deficiencies
in how our current lockup detection helpers work:

 - SysRq-L is not very efficient as it uses a workqueue, hence
   it cannot punch through hard lockups and cannot see through
   most soft lockups either.

 - The SysRq-L code depends on the NMI watchdog - which is off
   by default.

 - We dont print backtraces from the RCU code's built-in
   'RCU state machine is stuck' debug code. This debug
   code tends to be one of the first (and only) mechanisms
   that show that a lockup has occured.

This patch changes the code so taht we:

 - Trigger the NMI backtrace code from SysRq-L instead of using
   a workqueue (which cannot punch through hard lockups)

 - Trigger print-all-CPU-backtraces from the RCU lockup detection
   code

Also decouple the backtrace printing code from the NMI watchdog:

 - Dont use variable size cpumasks (it might not be initialized
   and they are a bit more fragile anyway)

 - Trigger an NMI immediately via an IPI, instead of waiting
   for the NMI tick to occur. This is a lot faster and can
   produce more relevant backtraces. It will also work if the
   NMI watchdog is disabled.

 - Dont print the 'dazed and confused' message when we print
   a backtrace from the NMI

 - Do a show_regs() plus a dump_stack() to get maximum info
   out of the dump. Worst-case we get two stacktraces - which
   is not a big deal. Sometimes, if register content is
   corrupted, the precise stack walker in show_regs() wont
   give us a full backtrace - in this case dump_stack() will
   do it.
