Since commit 2f36825b ("sched: Next buddy hint on sleep and preempt path") it is likely we pick a new task from the same cgroup, doing a put and then set on all intermediate entities is a waste of time, so try to avoid this. Measured using: mount nodev /cgroup -t cgroup -o cpu cd /cgroup mkdir a; cd a mkdir b; cd b mkdir c; cd c echo $$ > tasks perf stat --repeat 10 -- taskset 1 perf bench sched pipe PRE : 4.542422684 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.33% ) POST: 4.389409991 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.32% ) Which shows a significant improvement of ~3.5% Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1328936700.2476.17.camel@laptopSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

In order to avoid having to do put/set on a whole cgroup hierarchy when we context switch, push the put into pick_next_task() so that both operations are in the same function. Further changes then allow us to possibly optimize away redundant work.

Track depth in cgroup tree, this is useful for things like find_matching_se() where you need to get to a common parent of two sched entities. Keeping the depth avoids having to calculate it on the spot, which saves a number of possible cache-misses.

idle_balance() modifies the rq->idle_stamp field, making this information shared across core.c and fair.c. As we know if the cpu is going to idle or not with the previous patch, let's encapsulate the rq->idle_stamp information in core.c by moving it up to the caller. The idle_balance() function returns true in case a balancing occured and the cpu won't be idle, false if no balance happened and the cpu is going idle.

Daniel Lezcano authored
The scheduler main function 'schedule()' checks if there are no more tasks on the runqueue. Then it checks if a task should be pulled in the current runqueue in idle_balance() assuming it will go to idle otherwise. But idle_balance() releases the rq->lock in order to look up the sched domains and takes the lock again right after. That opens a window where another cpu may put a task in our runqueue, so we won't go to idle but we have filled the idle_stamp, thinking we will. This patch closes the window by checking if the runqueue has been modified but without pulling a task after taking the lock again, so we won't go to idle right after in the __schedule() function.

As patch "sched: Move the priority specific bits into a new header file" exposes the priority related macros in linux/sched/prio.h, we don't have to implement task_nice() in kernel/sched/core.c any more. This patch implements it in linux/sched/sched.h as static inline function, saving the kernel stack and enhancing performance a bit.

Some macros in kernel/sched/sched.h about priority are private to kernel/sched. But they are useful to other parts of the core kernel.

With commit d8d14bd0 ("fs/compat: fix lookup_dcookie() parameter handling") I changed the type of the len parameter of the lookup_dcookie() syscall. However I missed that there was still a stale declaration in arch/tile/.. which now causes a compile error on tile: In file included from fs/dcookies.c:28:0: include/linux/compat.h:425:17: error: conflicting types for 'compat_sys_lookup_dcookie' fs/dcookies.c:207:1: error: conflicting types for 'compat_sys_lookup_dcookie' Simply remove the declaration in the tile architecture, which is only a leftover from before the different compat lookup_dcookie() versions have been merged. The correct declaration is now in include/linux/compat.h The build error was reported by Fenguang's build bot.

Revert commit ef83b078 "PCI: Remove from bus_list and release resources in pci_release_dev()" that made some nasty race conditions become possible. For example, if a Thunderbolt link is unplugged and then replugged immediately, the pci_release_dev() resulting from the hot-remove code path may be racing with the hot-add code path which after that commit causes various kinds of breakage to happen (up to and including a hard crash of the whole system). Moreover, the problem that commit ef83b078 attempted to address cannot happen any more after commit 8a4c5c32 "PCI: Check parent kobject in pci_destroy_dev()", because pci_destroy_dev() will now return immediately if it has already been executed for the given device. Note, however, that the invocation of msi_remove_pci_irq_vectors() removed by commit ef83b078 from pci_free_resources() along with the other changes made by it is not added back because of subsequent code changes depending on that modification.

Move sync_filesystem() after sb_prepare_remount_readonly(). If writers sneak in anywhere from sync_filesystem() to sb_prepare_remount_readonly() it can cause inodes to be dirtied and writeback to occur well after sys_mount() has completely successfully. This was spotted by corrupted ubifs filesystems on reboot, but appears that it can cause issues with any filesystem using writeback.

Pull ACPI and power management fixes and cleanups from Rafael Wysocki: - ACPI device hotplug fix preventing ACPI drivers from binding to device objects that acpi_bus_trim() has been called for and the devices represented by them may not be operational. - Recent cpufreq changes related to the "boost" (turbo) feature broke the acpi-cpufreq error code path causing a NULL pointer dereference to occur on some systems. Fix from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk. - The log level of a CPU initialization error message added recently needs to be reduced, because the particular BIOS issue indicated by it turns out to be widespread and doesn't really matter for the majority of systems having it. From Jiang Liu. - The regulator API needs to be told to stay away from things on systems with ACPI BIOSes or it may conflict with the BIOS' own handling of voltage regulators. Fix from Mark Brown that works around a 3.13 regression in lm90 on PCs occuring if the regulator API is enabled. - Prevent the Exynos4 devfreq driver from being built on multiplatform, because it depends on things that aren't available during such builds. From Sachin Kamat. - Upstream ACPICA doesn't use the bool type as defined in the kernel, so modify the kernel's ACPICA code to follow the upstream in that respect (only one variable definition is affected) to reduce divergences between the two. From Lv Zheng. - Make the ACPI device PM code use ACPI_COMPANION() instead of its own routine doing the same thing (and invokng ACPI_COMPANION() in the process). - Modify some routines in the ACPI processor driver to follow the common convention and return negative integers on errors.

The patch 3ddc5b46 breaks networking on alpha (there is a follow-up fix 5cfe8f1b, but networking is still broken even with the second patch). The patch 3ddc5b46 makes csum_partial_copy_from_user check the pointer with access_ok. However, csum_partial_copy_from_user is called also from csum_partial_copy_nocheck and csum_partial_copy_nocheck is called on kernel pointers and it is supposed not to check pointer validity. This bug results in ssh session hangs if the system is loaded and bulk data are printed to ssh terminal. This patch fixes csum_partial_copy_nocheck to call set_fs(KERNEL_DS), so that access_ok in csum_partial_copy_from_user accepts kernel-space addresses.

Commit 384a48d7 "ALSA: hda: HDMI: Support codecs with fewer cvts than pins" dynamically enabled each pin widget's PIN_OUT only when the pin was actively in use. This was required on certain NVIDIA CODECs for correct operation. Specifically, if multiple pin widgets each had their mux input select the same audio converter widget and each pin widget had PIN_OUT enabled, then only one of the pin widgets would actually receive the audio, and often not the one the user wanted! However, this apparently broke some Intel systems, and commit 6169b673 "ALSA: hda - Always turn on pins for HDMI/DP" reverted the dynamic setting of PIN_OUT. This in turn broke the afore-mentioned NVIDIA CODECs. This change supports either dynamic or static handling of PIN_OUT, selected by a flag set up during CODEC initialization. This flag is enabled for all recent NVIDIA GPUs.

Merge tag 'stable/for-linus-3.14-rc0-late-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip Pull Xen bugfixes from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk: "Bug-fixes for the new features that were added during this cycle. There are also two fixes for long-standing issues for which we have a solution: grant-table operations extra work that was not needed causing performance issues and the self balloon code was too aggressive causing OOMs. Details: - Xen ARM couldn't use the new FIFO events - Xen ARM couldn't use the SWIOTLB if compiled as 32-bit with 64-bit PCIe devices. - Grant table were doing needless M2P operations. - Ratchet down the self-balloon code so it won't OOM. - Fix misplaced kfree in Xen PVH error code paths" * tag 'stable/for-linus-3.14-rc0-late-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip: xen/pvh: Fix misplaced kfree from xlated_setup_gnttab_pages drivers: xen: deaggressive selfballoon driver xen/grant-table: Avoid m2p_override during mapping xen/gnttab: Use phys_addr_t to describe the grant frame base address xen: swiotlb: handle sizeof(dma_addr_t) != sizeof(phys_addr_t) arm/xen: Initialize event channels earlier
