David reported that his Niagra spend a little too much time in
tg_shares_up(), which considering he has a large cpu count makes sense.
So scale the ratelimit value with the number of cpus like we do for
other controls as well.

Ftrace depends on some processor state that we destroyed during kexec and
restored by restore_processor_state(). So save_processor_state() and
restore_processor_state() are moved into machine_kexec() and ftrace is
restored after restore_processor_state().

When we hot-unplug a cpu and rebuild the sched-domain, all cpus will be

from an already disabled runqueue to satisfy its own needs.

Fix the setting of PF_SUPERPRIV by __capable() as it could corrupt the flags
the target process if that is not the current process and it is trying to
change its own flags in a different way at the same time.
__capable() is using neither atomic ops nor locking to protect t->flags. This
patch removes __capable() and introduces has_capability() that doesn't set
PF_SUPERPRIV on the process being queried.
This patch further splits security_ptrace() in two:
(1) security_ptrace_may_access(). This passes judgement on whether one
process may access another only (PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH for ptrace() and
PTRACE_MODE_READ for /proc), and takes a pointer to the child process.
current is the parent.
(2) security_ptrace_traceme(). This passes judgement on PTRACE_TRACEME only,
and takes only a pointer to the parent process. current is the child.
In Smack and commoncap, this uses has_capability() to determine whether
the parent will be permitted to use PTRACE_ATTACH if normal checks fail.
This does not set PF_SUPERPRIV.
Two of the instances of __capable() actually only act on current, and so have
been changed to calls to capable().
Of the places that were using __capable():
(1) The OOM killer calls __capable() thrice when weighing the killability of a
process. All of these now use has_capability().
(2) cap_ptrace() and smack_ptrace() were using __capable() to check to see
whether the parent was allowed to trace any process. As mentioned above,
these have been split. For PTRACE_ATTACH and /proc, capable() is now
used, and for PTRACE_TRACEME, has_capability() is used.
(3) cap_safe_nice() only ever saw current, so now uses capable().
(4) smack_setprocattr() rejected accesses to tasks other than current just
after calling __capable(), so the order of these two tests have been
switched and capable() is used instead.
(5) In smack_file_send_sigiotask(), we need to allow privileged processes to
receive SIGIO on files they're manipulating.
(6) In smack_task_wait(), we let a process wait for a privileged process,
whether or not the process doing the waiting is privileged.
I've tested this with the LTP SELinux and syscalls testscripts.

With 2.6.27-rc3, I hit a kernel panic when running volanoMark on my
new x86_64 machine. I also hit it with other 2.6.27-rc kernels.
See below log.
Basically, function walk_tg_tree and sched_create_group have a race
between accessing and initiating tg->children. Below patch fixes it
by moving tg->children initiation to the front of linking tg->siblings
to parent->children.

OK indeed it did have a couple of bugs. Firstly, I wasn't freeing the
data properly in the alloc && wait case. Secondly, I wasn't resetting
CSD_FLAG_WAIT in the for each cpu loop (so only the first CPU would
wait).
After those fixes, the patch boots and runs with the kmalloc commented
out (so it always executes the slowpath).

The kernel has this really nice facility where if you put "initcall_debug"
on the kernel commandline, it'll print which function it's going to
execute just before calling an initcall, and then after the call completes
it will
1) print if it had an error code
2) checks for a few simple bugs (like leaving irqs off)
and
3) print how long the init call took in milliseconds.
While trying to optimize the boot speed of my laptop, I have been loving
number 3 to figure out what to optimize... ... and then I wished that
the same thing was done for module loading.
This patch makes the module loader use this exact same functionality; it's
a logical extension in my view (since modules are just sort of late
binding initcalls anyway) and so far I've found it quite useful in finding
where things are too slow in my boot.

When we enable DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC but do not enable PROVE_LOCKING and or
LOCK_STAT, lock_alloc() and lock_release() turn into nops, even though
we should be doing hlock checking (check=1).
This causes a false warning and a lockdep self-disable.
Rectify this.

So set the CPU active before calling the CPU_ONLINE notifier chain,
there are a handful of notifiers that use set_cpus_allowed().
This fix also solves the problem with x86-microcode. I've sent
alternative patches for microcode, but as this "rely on
set_cpus_allowed_ptr() being workable in cpu-hotplug(CPU_ONLINE, ...)"
assumption seems to be more broad than what we thought, perhaps this fix
should be applied.
With this patch we define that by the moment CPU_ONLINE is being sent,
a 'cpu' is online and ready for tasks to be migrated onto it.

Nice debugging work.
I'd suggest something like the attached (boot tested) patch as the simple
fix for now.
I expect the benefits from the less synchronized, multiple-in-flight-data
global queue will still outweigh the costs of dynamic allocations. But
if worst comes to worst then we just go back to a globally synchronous
one-at-a-time implementation, but that would be pretty sad!

Defer commit 6d299f1b53b84e2665f402d9bcc494800aba6386 to the next release.
Testing of the tip/sched/clock tree revealed a mysql+oltp regression
which bisection eventually traced back to this commit in mainline.
Pertinent test results: Three run sysbench averages, throughput units
in read/write requests/sec.
clients 1 2 4 8 16 32 64
6e0534f 9646 17876 34774 33868 32230 30767 29441
2.6.26.1 9112 17936 34652 33383 31929 30665 29232
6d299f1 9112 14637 28370 33339 32038 30762 29204
Note: subsequent commits hide the majority of this regression until you
apply the clock fixes, at which time it reemerges at full magnitude.
We cannot see anything bad about the change itself so we defer it to the
next release until this problem is fully analysed.

Expose the new lock protection lock.
This can be used to annotate places where we take multiple locks of the
same class and avoid deadlocks by always taking another (top-level) lock
first.
NOTE: we're still bound to the MAX_LOCK_DEPTH (48) limit.

Do as Linus suggested. The lock protection lock is called nest_lock.
Note that we still have the MAX_LOCK_DEPTH (48) limit to consider, so anything
that spills that it still up shit creek.

Instead of using a per-rq lock class, use the regular nesting operations.
However, take extra care with double_lock_balance() as it can release the
already held rq->lock (and therefore change its nesting class).
So what can happen is:
spin_lock(rq->lock); // this rq subclass 0
double_lock_balance(rq, other_rq);
// release rq
// acquire other_rq->lock subclass 0
// acquire rq->lock subclass 1
spin_unlock(other_rq->lock);
leaving you with rq->lock in subclass 1
So a subsequent double_lock_balance() call can try to nest a subclass 1
lock while already holding a subclass 1 lock.
Fix this by introducing double_unlock_balance() which releases the other
rq's lock, but also re-sets the subclass for this rq's lock to 0.

get_order() takes byte-sized input, not a page-granular one.
Irrespective of this fix I'm inclined to believe that this doesn't work
right anyway - bitmap_allocate_region() has an implicit assumption of
'pos' being suitable for 'order', which this function doesn't seem to
enforce (and since it's being called with a byte-granular value there's no
reason to believe that the callers would make sure device_addr is passed
accordingly - it's also not documented that way).
