354d60c2ff sched: mix tasks and groups
This patch allows tasks and groups to exist in the same cfs_rq. With this
change the CFS group scheduling follows a 1/(M+N) model from a 1/(1+N)
fairness model where M tasks and N groups exist at the cfs_rq level.

cd8ba7cd9b sched: add new set_cpus_allowed_ptr function
Add a new function that accepts a pointer to the "newly allowed cpus"
cpumask argument.

int set_cpus_allowed_ptr(struct task_struct *p, const cpumask_t *new_mask)

The current set_cpus_allowed() function is modified to use the above
but this does not result in an ABI change.  And with some compiler
optimization help, it may not introduce any additional overhead.

Additionally, to enforce the read only nature of the new_mask arg, the
"const" property is migrated to sub-functions called by set_cpus_allowed.
This silences compiler warnings.

e0982e90cd init: move setup of nr_cpu_ids to as early as possible
Move the setting of nr_cpu_ids from sched_init() to start_kernel()
so that it's available as early as possible.

Note that an arch has the option of setting it even earlier if need be,
but it should not result in a different value than the setup_nr_cpu_ids()
function.

9f0e8d0400 x86: convert cpumask_of_cpu macro to allocated array
* Here is a simple patch to use an allocated array of cpumasks to
    represent cpumask_of_cpu() instead of constructing one on the stack.
    It's based on the Kconfig option "HAVE_CPUMASK_OF_CPU_MAP" which is
    currently only set for x86_64 SMP.  Otherwise the the existing
    cpumask_of_cpu() is used but has been changed to produce an lvalue
    so a pointer to it can be used.

434d53b00d sched: remove fixed NR_CPUS sized arrays in kernel_sched_c
* Change fixed size arrays to per_cpu variables or dynamically allocated

 * Change sched_domain_debug_one() to use cpulist_scnprintf instead of
   cpumask_scnprintf.  This reduces the output buffer required and improves
   readability when large NR_CPU count machines arrive.

 * In sched_create_group() we allocate new arrays based on nr_cpu_ids.

aa6b54461c asm-generic: add node_to_cpumask_ptr macro
Create a simple macro to always return a pointer to the node_to_cpumask(node)
value.  This relies on compiler optimization to remove the extra indirection:

    #define node_to_cpumask_ptr(v, node) 		\
	    cpumask_t _##v = node_to_cpumask(node), *v = &_##v

For those systems with a large cpumask size, then a true pointer
to the array element can be used:

    #define node_to_cpumask_ptr(v, node)		\
	    cpumask_t *v = &(node_to_cpumask_map[node])

A node_to_cpumask_ptr_next() macro is provided to access another
node_to_cpumask value.

The other change is to always include asm-generic/topology.h moving the
ifdef CONFIG_NUMA to this same file.

Note: there are no references to either of these new macros in this patch,
only the definition.

Based on 2.6.25-rc5-mm1

d18d00f5db x86: oprofile: remove NR_CPUS arrays in arch/x86/oprofile/nmi_int.c
Change the following arrays sized by NR_CPUS to be PERCPU variables:

	static struct op_msrs cpu_msrs[NR_CPUS];
	static unsigned long saved_lvtpc[NR_CPUS];

Also some minor complaints from checkpatch.pl fixed.

Based on:
	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/x86/linux-2.6-x86.git

All changes were transparent except for:

 static void nmi_shutdown(void)
 {
+	struct op_msrs *msrs = &__get_cpu_var(cpu_msrs);
 	nmi_enabled = 0;
 	on_each_cpu(nmi_cpu_shutdown, NULL, 0, 1);
 	unregister_die_notifier(&profile_exceptions_nb);
-	model->shutdown(cpu_msrs);
+	model->shutdown(msrs);
 	free_msrs();
 }

The existing code passed a reference to cpu 0's instance of struct op_msrs
to model->shutdown, whilst the other functions are passed a reference to
<this cpu's> instance of a struct op_msrs.  This seemed to be a bug to me
even though as long as cpu 0 and <this cpu> are of the same type it would
have the same effect...?

Add a new function cpumask_scnprintf_len() to return the number of

of allocating NR_CPUS bytes is incorrect as what's really needed is
9 characters per 32-bit word of cpumask bits (8 hex digits plus the
seperator [','] or the terminating NULL.)  This function provides the
caller the means to allocate the correct string length.

48f20a9a94 tasklets: execute tasklets in the same order they were queued
I noticed this when looking at an openswan issue.  Openswan (ab?)uses the
tasklet API to defer processing of packets in some situations, with one
packet per tasklet_action().  I started noticing sequences of
backwards-ordered sequence numbers coming over the wire, since new tasklets
are always queued at the head of the list but processed sequentially.

Convert it to instead append new entries to the tail of the list.  As an
extra bonus, the splicing code in takeover_tasklets() no longer has to
iterate over the list.

ac086bc229 sched: rt-group: smp balancing
Currently the rt group scheduling does a per cpu runtime limit, however
the rt load balancer makes no guarantees about an equal spread of real-
time tasks, just that at any one time, the highest priority tasks run.

Solve this by making the runtime limit a global property by borrowing
excessive runtime from the other cpus once the local limit runs out.

the check that should have avoided that is:

        /*

         */
        if (unlikely(rq->load.weight == curr->se.load.weight))

But I guess that overlooks rt tasks, they also increase the load.
So I guess something like this ought to fix it..

27ec440779 sched: make cpu_clock() globally synchronous
Alexey Zaytsev reported (and bisected) that the introduction of
cpu_clock() in printk made the timestamps jump back and forth.

Make cpu_clock() more reliable while still keeping it fast when it's
called frequently.

|     sched: fix fair sleepers

|     Fair sleepers need to scale their latency target down by runqueue
|     weight. Otherwise busy systems will gain ever larger sleep bonus.

076c54c5bc Security: Introduce security= boot parameter
Add the security= boot parameter. This is done to avoid LSM
registration clashes in case of more than one bult-in module.

User can choose a security module to enable at boot. If no
security= boot parameter is specified, only the first LSM
asking for registration will be loaded. An invalid security
module name will be treated as if no module has been chosen.

LSM modules must check now if they are allowed to register
by calling security_module_enable(ops) first. Modify SELinux
and SMACK to do so.

Do not let SMACK register smackfs if it was not chosen on
boot. Smackfs assumes that smack hooks are registered and
the initial task security setup (swapper->security) is done.

9d57a7f9e2 SELinux: use new audit hooks, remove redundant exports
Setup the new Audit LSM hooks for SELinux.
Remove the now redundant exported SELinux Audit interface.

Audit: Export 'audit_krule' and 'audit_field' to the public
since their internals are needed by the implementation of the
new LSM hook 'audit_rule_known'.
