There is no known reason for this option to be unavailable on other archs than x86. They just need to call enable_sched_clock_irqtime() if they have a sufficiently finegrained clock to make it working. Move it to the general option and let the user choose between it and pure tick based or virtual cputime accounting. Note that virtual cputime accounting already performs a finegrained irqtime accounting. CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING is a kind of middle ground between tick and virtual based accounting. So CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING and CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING are mutually exclusive choices.

Move the code that finds out to which context we account the cputime into generic layer. Archs that consider the whole time spent in the idle task as idle time (ia64, powerpc) can rely on the generic vtime_account() and implement vtime_account_system() and vtime_account_idle(), letting the generic code to decide when to call which API. Archs that have their own meaning of idle time, such as s390 that only considers the time spent in CPU low power mode as idle time, can just override vtime_account(). Signed-off-by: -
Frederic Weisbecker authored
Use a naming based on vtime as a prefix for virtual based cputime accounting APIs: - account_system_vtime() -> vtime_account() - account_switch_vtime() -> vtime_task_switch() It makes it easier to allow for further declension such as vtime_account_system(), vtime_account_idle(), ... if we want to find out the context we account to from generic code. This also make it better to know on which subsystem these APIs refer to. Signed-off-by:

There is no load_balancer to be selected now. It just sets the state of the nohz tick to stop. So rename the function, pass the 'cpu' as a parameter and then remove the useless call from tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick().

Commit f319da0c ("sched: Fix load avg vs cpu-hotplug") was an incomplete fix: In particular, the problem is that at the point it calls calc_load_migrate() nr_running := 1 (the stopper thread), so move the call to CPU_DEAD where we're sure that nr_running := 0. Also note that we can call calc_load_migrate() without serialization, we know the state of rq is stable since its cpu is dead, and we modify the global state using appropriate atomic ops.

migrate_tasks() uses _pick_next_task_rt() to get tasks from the real-time runqueues to be migrated. When rt_rq is throttled _pick_next_task_rt() won't return anything, in which case migrate_tasks() can't move all threads over and gets stuck in an infinite loop. Instead unthrottle rt runqueues before migrating tasks. Additionally: move unthrottle_offline_cfs_rqs() to rq_offline_fair() Signed-off-by:

Azat Khuzhin reported high loadavg in Linux v3.6 After checking the upstream scheduler code, I found Peter's commit: 5167e8d5 sched/nohz: Rewrite and fix load-avg computation -- again not fully applied, missing the call to calc_load_exit_idle(). After that idle exit in sampling window will always be calculated to non-idle, and the load will be higher than normal. This patch adds the missing call to calc_load_exit_idle(). Signed-off-by:

Rabik and Paul reported two different issues related to the same few lines of code. Rabik's issue is that the nr_uninterruptible migration code is wrong in that he sees artifacts due to this (Rabik please do expand in more detail). Paul's issue is that this code as it stands relies on us using stop_machine() for unplug, we all would like to remove this assumption so that eventually we can remove this stop_machine() usage altogether. The only reason we'd have to migrate nr_uninterruptible is so that we could use for_each_online_cpu() loops in favour of for_each_possible_cpu() loops, however since nr_uninterruptible() is the only such loop and its using possible lets not bother at all. The problem Rabik sees is (probably) caused by the fact that by migrating nr_uninterruptible we screw rq->calc_load_active for both rqs involved. So don't bother with fancy migration schemes (meaning we now have to keep using for_each_possible_cpu()) and instead fold any nr_active delta after we migrate all tasks away to make sure we don't have any skewed nr_active accounting.

Andreas Bombe reported that the added ktime_t overflow checking added to timespec_valid in commit 4e8b1452 ("time: Improve sanity checking of timekeeping inputs") was causing problems with X.org because it caused timeouts larger then KTIME_T to be invalid. Previously, these large timeouts would be clamped to KTIME_MAX and would never expire, which is valid. This patch splits the ktime_t overflow checking into a new timespec_valid_strict function, and converts the timekeeping codes internal checking to use this more strict function.

Existing code assumes that del_timer returns true for alive conntrack entries. However, this is not true if reliable events are enabled. In that case, del_timer may return true for entries that were just inserted in the dying list. Note that packets / ctnetlink may hold references to conntrack entries that were just inserted to such list. This patch fixes the issue by adding an independent timer for event delivery. This increases the size of the ecache extension. Still we can revisit this later and use variable size extensions to allocate this area on demand. Tested-by:
