98a4826b99 sched: fix bandwidth validation for UID grouping
Impact: make rt-limit tunables work again

Mark Glines reported:

For UID grouping we initialize the root group with infinite bandwidth
which by default is actually more than the global limit, therefore the
bandwidth check always fails.

Because the root group is a phantom group (for UID grouping) we cannot
runtime adjust it, therefore we let it reflect the global bandwidth
settings.

baf48f6577 softlock: fix false panic which can occur if softlockup_thresh is reduced
At run-time, if softlockup_thresh is changed to a much lower value,
touch_timestamp is likely to be much older than the new softlock_thresh.

This will cause a false softlockup to be detected. If softlockup_panic
is enabled, the system will panic.

The fix is to touch all watchdogs before changing softlockup_thresh.

01e3eb8227 Revert "sched: improve preempt debugging"
This reverts commit 7317d7b87edb41a9135e30be1ec3f7ef817c53dd.

This has been reported (and bisected) by Alexey Zaytsev and
Kamalesh Babulal to produce annoying warnings during bootup
on both x86 and powerpc.

kernel_locked() is not a valid test in IRQ context (we update the
BKL's ->lock_depth and the preempt count separately and non-atomicalyy),
so we cannot put it into the generic preempt debugging checks which
can run in IRQ contexts too.

9332fccded irq: initialize nr_irqs based on nr_cpu_ids
Impact: Reduce memory usage.

This is the second half of the changes to make the irq_desc_ptrs be
variable sized based on nr_cpu_ids.  This is done by adding a new
"max_nr_irqs" macro to irq_vectors.h (and a dummy in irqnr.h) to
return a max NR_IRQS value based on NR_CPUS or nr_cpu_ids.

This necessitated moving the define of MAX_IO_APICS to a separate
file (asm/apicnum.h) so it could be included without the baggage
of the other asm/apicdef.h declarations.

Impact: fix bug where new irq_desc uses old cpumask pointers which are freed.

As Yinghai pointed out, init_copy_one_irq_desc() copies the old desc to
the new desc overwriting the cpumask pointers.  Since the old_desc and
the cpumask pointers are freed, then memory corruption will occur if
these old pointers are used.

Move the allocation of these pointers to after the copy.

7f7ace0cda cpumask: update irq_desc to use cpumask_var_t
Impact: reduce memory usage, use new cpumask API.

Replace the affinity and pending_masks with cpumask_var_t's.  This adds
to the significant size reduction done with the SPARSE_IRQS changes.

The added functions (init_alloc_desc_masks & init_copy_desc_masks) are
in the include file so they can be inlined (and optimized out for the
!CONFIG_CPUMASKS_OFFSTACK case.)  [Naming chosen to be consistent with
the other init*irq functions, as well as the backwards arg declaration
of "from, to" instead of the more common "to, from" standard.]

Includes a slight change to the declaration of struct irq_desc to embed
the pending_mask within ifdef(CONFIG_SMP) to be consistent with other
references, and some small changes to Xen.
