Michael Kerrisk noticed that creating SCHED_DEADLINE reservations
with certain parameters (e.g, a runtime of something near 2^64 ns)
can cause a system freeze for some amount of time.

The problem is that in the interface we have

 u64 sched_runtime;

while internally we need to have a signed runtime (to cope with
budget overruns)

 s64 runtime;

At the time we setup a new dl_entity we copy the first value in
the second. The cast turns out with negative values when
sched_runtime is too big, and this causes the scheduler to go crazy
right from the start.

Moreover, considering how we deal with deadlines wraparound

 (s64)(a - b) < 0

we also have to restrict acceptable values for sched_{deadline,period}.

This patch fixes the thing checking that user parameters are always
below 2^63 ns (still large enough for everyone).

It also rewrites other conditions that we check, since in
__checkparam_dl we don't have to deal with deadline wraparounds
and what we have now erroneously fails when the difference between
values is too big.

The way we read POSIX one should only call sched_getparam() when
sched_getscheduler() returns either SCHED_FIFO or SCHED_RR.

Given that we currently return sched_param::sched_priority=0 for all
others, extend the same behaviour to SCHED_DEADLINE.

The documented[1] behavior of sched_attr() in the proposed man page text is:

    sched_attr::size must be set to the size of the structure, as in
    sizeof(struct sched_attr), if the provided structure is smaller
    than the kernel structure, any additional fields are assumed
    '0'. If the provided structure is larger than the kernel structure,
    the kernel verifies all additional fields are '0' if not the
    syscall will fail with -E2BIG.

As currently implemented, sched_copy_attr() returns -EFBIG for
for this case, but the logic in sys_sched_setattr() converts that
error to -EFAULT. This patch fixes the behavior.

The following commit:

can potentially cause rq->max_idle_balance_cost to not be updated,
even when load_balance(NEWLY_IDLE) is attempted and the per-sd
max cost value is updated.

Preeti noticed a similar issue with updating rq->next_balance.

In this patch, we fix this by making sure we still check/update those values
even if a task gets enqueued while browsing the domains.

The check at the beginning of cpupri_find() makes sure that the task_pri
variable does not exceed the cp->pri_to_cpu array length. But that length
is CPUPRI_NR_PRIORITIES not MAX_RT_PRIO, where it will miss the last two
priorities in that array.

As task_pri is computed from convert_prio() which should never be bigger
than CPUPRI_NR_PRIORITIES, if the check should cause a panic if it is
hit.

yield_task_dl() is broken:

 o it forces current to be throttled setting its runtime to zero;
 o it sets current's dl_se->dl_new to one, expecting that dl_task_timer()
   will queue it back with proper parameters at replenish time.

Unfortunately, dl_task_timer() has this check at the very beginning:

	if (!dl_task(p) || dl_se->dl_new)
		goto unlock;

So, it just bails out and the task is never replenished. It actually
yielded forever.

To fix this, introduce a new flag indicating that the task properly yielded
the CPU before its current runtime expired. While this is a little overdoing
at the moment, the flag would be useful in the future to discriminate between
"good" jobs (of which remaining runtime could be reclaimed, i.e. recycled)
and "bad" jobs (for which dl_throttled task has been set) that needed to be
stopped.

Russell reported, that irqtime_account_idle_ticks() takes ages due to:

       for (i = 0; i < ticks; i++)
               irqtime_account_process_tick(current, 0, rq);

It's sad, that this code was written way _AFTER_ the NOHZ idle
functionality was available. I charge myself guitly for not paying
attention when that crap got merged with commit abb74cef ("sched:
Export ns irqtimes through /proc/stat")

So instead of looping nr_ticks times just apply the whole thing at
once.

As a side note: The whole cputime_t vs. u64 business in that context
wants to be cleaned up as well. There is no point in having all these
back and forth conversions. Lets standardise on u64 nsec for all
kernel internal accounting and be done with it. Everything else does
not make sense at all for fine grained accounting. Frederic, can you
please take care of that?

Inferring the mount hierarchy correctly from /proc/mounts is hard when MS_MOVE
may have been used, and the previous code did it wrongly. This change simplifies
the logic to only require that /dev/shm be _on_ tmpfs (which can be checked
trivially with statfs) rather than that it be a _mountpoint_ of tmpfs, since
there isn't a compelling reason to be that strict. We also now check for tmpfs
on whatever directory we ultimately use so that the user is better informed.

This change also moves the more standard TMPDIR environment variable check ahead
of the others.

Every event in the perf-kvm has a 'stats' structure, which contains
max/min/average/etc times of handling this event.
The problem is that the 'perf-kvm stat report' command always shows
that 'min time' is 0us for every event. Example:

 # perf kvm stat report

 Analyze events for all VCPUs:

    VM-EXIT    Samples  Samples%     Time%   Min Time   Max Time Avg time
  [..]
  0xB2 MSCH         12     0.07%     0.00%        0us        8us 7.31us ( +-   2.11% )
  0xB2 CHSC         12     0.07%     0.00%        0us       18us 9.39us ( +-   9.49% )
  0xB2 STPX          8     0.05%     0.00%        0us        2us 1.88us ( +-   7.18% )

  [..]

This happens because the 'stats' structure is not initialized and
stats->min equals to 0. Lets initialize the structure for every
event after its allocation using init_stats() function. This initializes
stats->min to -1 and makes 'Min time' statistics counting work:

 # perf kvm stat report

    VM-EXIT    Samples  Samples%     Time%   Min Time   Max Time Avg time

function truncate_pagecache_range is block size aligned. In this
function start offset is re-aligned to PAGE_SIZE by rounding_up to the
next page boundary.  Due to this rounding up, old data remains in the
page cache when blocksize is less than page size and start offset is

A va_list needs to be copied in case it needs to be used twice.

Thanks to Hugh for debugging this issue, leading to various panics.

Tested:

  lpq84:~# echo "|/foobar12345 %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h" >/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern

'produce_core' is simply : main() { *(int *)0 = 1;}

  lpq84:~# ./produce_core
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)
  lpq84:~# dmesg | tail -1
  [  614.352947] Core dump to |/foobar12345 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 (null) pipe failed

Notice the last argument was replaced by a NULL (we were lucky enough to
not crash, but do not try this on your production machine !)

After fix :

  lpq83:~# echo "|/foobar12345 %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h" >/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern

 "Unfortunately this contains no easter eggs, its a bit larger than I'd
