This adds support for PTRACE_GETSIGINFO and PTRACE_SETSIGINFO in
compat_ptrace_request. It relies on existing arch definitions for
copy_siginfo_to_user32 and copy_siginfo_from_user32.
On powerpc, this fixes a longstanding regression of 32-bit ptrace
calls on 64-bit kernels vs native calls (64-bit calls or 32-bit
kernels). This can be seen in a 32-bit call using PTRACE_GETSIGINFO
to examine e.g. siginfo_t.si_addr from a signal that sets it.
(This was broken as of 2.6.24 and, I presume, many or all prior versions.)

The previous optimization did not take the case into account where a
clock provides its own softirq_get_time() function.
Check for the availablitiy of the clock get time function first and
then check if we need to retrieve the time for both clocks via
hrtimer_softirq_gettime() to avoid a double evaluation of time in that
case as well.

It seems that hrtimer_run_queues() is calling hrtimer_get_softirq_time() more
often than it needs to. This can cause frequent contention on systems with
large numbers of processors/cores.
With this patch, hrtimer_run_queues only calls hrtimer_get_softirq_time() if
there is a pending timer in one of the hrtimer bases, and only once.
This also combines hrtimer_run_queues() and the inline run_hrtimer_queue()
into one function.

In order to level the hierarchy, we need to calculate load based on the
root view. That is, each task's load is in the same unit.
A
/ \
B 1
/ \
2 3
To compute 1's load we do:
weight(1)
--------------
rq_weight(A)
To compute 2's load we do:
weight(2) weight(B)
------------ * -----------
rq_weight(B) rw_weight(A)
This yields load fractions in comparable units.
The consequence is that it changes virtual time. We used to have:
time_{i}
vtime_{i} = ------------
weight_{i}
vtime = \Sum vtime_{i} = time / rq_weight.
But with the new way of load calculation we get that vtime equals time.

Implement SMP nice support for the full group hierarchy.
On each load-balance action, compile a sched_domain wide view of the full
task_group tree. We compute the domain wide view when walking down the
hierarchy, and readjust the weights when walking back up.
After collecting and readjusting the domain wide view, we try to balance the
tasks within the task_groups. The current approach is a naively balance each
task group until we've moved the targeted amount of load.
Inspired by Srivatsa Vaddsgiri's previous code and Abhishek Chandra's H-SMP
paper.
XXX: there will be some numerical issues due to the limited nature of
SCHED_LOAD_SCALE wrt to representing a task_groups influence on the
total weight. When the tree is deep enough, or the task weight small
enough, we'll run out of bits.

Add a new function that accepts a pointer to the "newly allowed cpus"
cpumask argument.
int set_cpus_allowed_ptr(struct task_struct *p, const cpumask_t *new_mask)
The current set_cpus_allowed() function is modified to use the above
but this does not result in an ABI change. And with some compiler
optimization help, it may not introduce any additional overhead.
Additionally, to enforce the read only nature of the new_mask arg, the
"const" property is migrated to sub-functions called by set_cpus_allowed.
This silences compiler warnings.

I noticed this when looking at an openswan issue. Openswan (ab?)uses the
tasklet API to defer processing of packets in some situations, with one
packet per tasklet_action(). I started noticing sequences of
backwards-ordered sequence numbers coming over the wire, since new tasklets
are always queued at the head of the list but processed sequentially.
Convert it to instead append new entries to the tail of the list. As an
extra bonus, the splicing code in takeover_tasklets() no longer has to
iterate over the list.

Currently the rt group scheduling does a per cpu runtime limit, however
the rt load balancer makes no guarantees about an equal spread of real-
time tasks, just that at any one time, the highest priority tasks run.
Solve this by making the runtime limit a global property by borrowing
excessive runtime from the other cpus once the local limit runs out.

the check that should have avoided that is:
/*
* Are we the only task in the tree?
*/
if (unlikely(rq->load.weight == curr->se.load.weight))
return;
But I guess that overlooks rt tasks, they also increase the load.
So I guess something like this ought to fix it..
