2009-09-19sched: Re-add lost cpu_allowed check to sched_fair.c::select_task_rq_fair()Mike Galbraith
While doing some testing, I pinned mplayer, only to find it following X around like a puppy. Looking at commit c88d591, I found a cpu_allowed check that went AWOL. I plugged it back in where it looks like it needs to go, and now when I say "sit, stay!", mplayer obeys again. 'c88d591 sched: Merge select_task_rq_fair() and sched_balance_self()' accidentally dropped the check, causing wake_affine() to pull pinned tasks - put it back.

2009-09-17sched: Fix SD_POWERSAVING_BALANCE|SD_PREFER_LOCAL vs SD_WAKE_AFFINEPeter Zijlstra
The SD_POWERSAVING_BALANCE|SD_PREFER_LOCAL code can break out of the domain iteration early, making us miss the SD_WAKE_AFFINE bits. Fix this by continuing iteration until there is no need for a larger domain. This also cleans up the cgroup stuff a bit, but not having two update_shares() invocations.

2009-09-17sched: Stop buddies from hogging the systemPeter Zijlstra
Clear buddies more agressively. The (theoretical, haven't actually observed any of this) problem is that when we do not select either buddy in pick_next_entity() because they are too far ahead of the left-most task, we do not clear the buddies. This means that as soon as we service the left-most task, these same buddies will be tried again on the next schedule. Now if the left-most task was a pure hog, it wouldn't have done any wakeups and it wouldn't have set buddies of its own. That leads to the old buddies dominating, which would lead to bad latencies.

2009-09-15sched: Merge select_task_rq_fair() and sched_balance_self()Peter Zijlstra
The problem with wake_idle() is that is doesn't respect things like cpu_power, which means it doesn't deal well with SMT nor the recent RT interaction. To cure this, it needs to do what sched_balance_self() does, which leads to the possibility of merging select_task_rq_fair() and sched_balance_self(). Modify sched_balance_self() to: - update_shares() when walking up the domain tree, (it only called it for the top domain, but it should have done this anyway), which allows us to remove this ugly bit from try_to_wake_up(). - do wake_affine() on the smallest domain that contains both this (the waking) and the prev (the wakee) cpu for WAKE invocations. Then use the top-down balance steps it had to replace wake_idle(). This leads to the dissapearance of SD_WAKE_BALANCE and SD_WAKE_IDLE_FAR, with SD_WAKE_IDLE replaced with SD_BALANCE_WAKE. SD_WAKE_AFFINE needs SD_BALANCE_WAKE to be effective. Touch all topology bits to replace the old with new SD flags -- platforms might need re-tuning, enabling SD_BALANCE_WAKE conditionally on a NUMA distance seems like a good additional feature, magny-core and small nehalem systems would want this enabled, systems with slow interconnects would not.

2009-09-15sched: Add TASK_WAKINGPeter Zijlstra
We're going to want to drop rq->lock in try_to_wake_up() for a longer period of time, however we also want to deal with concurrent waking of the same task, which is currently handled by holding rq->lock. So introduce a new TASK state, namely TASK_WAKING, which indicates someone is already waking the task (other wakers will fail p->state & state).

2009-09-15perf_counter: Fix buffer overflow in perf_copy_attr()Xiao Guangrong

This bug makes the kernel unsafe and non-root local user can trigger it.
