rcu_read_lock() lock_task_sighand() make sure task->sighand is being protected, so we do not need rcu_read_lock(). [ exec() will get task->sighand->siglock before change task->sighand! ] But code using rcu_read_lock() _just_ to protect lock_task_sighand() only appear in procfs. (and some code in procfs use lock_task_sighand() without such redundant protection.) Other subsystem may put lock_task_sighand() into rcu_read_lock() critical region, but these rcu_read_lock() are used for protecting "for_each_process()", "find_task_by_vpid()" etc. , not for protecting lock_task_sighand().

2008-10-09sched debug: add name to sched_domain sysctl entriesIngo Molnar
add /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/cpu0/domain0/name, to make it easier to see which specific scheduler domain remained at that entry. Since we process the scheduler domain tree and simplify it, it's not always immediately clear during debugging which domain came from where. depends on CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG=y.

2008-10-08sched: sync wakeups vs avg_overlapPeter Zijlstra
While looking at the code I wondered why we always do: sync && avg_overlap < migration_cost Which is a bit odd, since the overlap test was meant to detect sync wakeups so using it to specialize sync wakeups doesn't make much sense. Hence change the code to do: sync || avg_overlap < migration_cost Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-10-04sched_rt.c: resch needed in rt_rq_enqueue() for the root rt_rqDario Faggioli
While working on the new version of the code for SCHED_SPORADIC I noticed something strange in the present throttling mechanism. More specifically in the throttling timer handler in sched_rt.c (do_sched_rt_period_timer()) and in rt_rq_enqueue(). The problem is that, when unthrottling a runqueue, rt_rq_enqueue() only asks for rescheduling if the runqueue has a sched_entity associated to it (i.e., rt_rq->rt_se != NULL). Now, if the runqueue is the root rq (which has a rt_se = NULL) rescheduling does not take place, and it is delayed to some undefined instant in the future. This imply some random bandwidth usage by the RT tasks under throttling. For instance, setting rt_runtime_us/rt_period_us = 950ms/1000ms an RT task will get less than 95%. In our tests we got something varying between 70% to 95%. Using smaller time values, e.g., 95ms/100ms, things are even worse, and I can see values also going down to 20-25%!! The tests we performed are simply running 'yes' as a SCHED_FIFO task, and checking the CPU usage with top, but we can investigate thoroughly if you think it is needed. Things go much better, for us, with the attached patch... Don't know if it is the best approach, but it solved the issue for us.

2008-10-04clockevents: check broadcast tick device not the clock events deviceThomas Gleixner
Impact: jiffies increment too fast. Hugh Dickins noted that with NOHZ=n and HIGHRES=n jiffies get incremented too fast. The reason is a wrong check in the broadcast enter/exit code, which keeps the local apic timer in periodic mode when the switch happens. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

2008-10-03rcu: RCU-based detection of stalled CPUs for Classic RCUPaul E. McKenney
This patch adds stalled-CPU detection to Classic RCU. This capability is enabled by a new config variable CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR, which defaults disabled. This is a debugging feature to detect infinite loops in kernel code, not something that non-kernel-hackers would be expected to care about. This feature can detect looping CPUs in !PREEMPT builds and looping CPUs with preemption disabled in PREEMPT builds. This is essentially a port of this functionality from the treercu patch, replacing the stall debug patch that is already in tip/core/rcu (commit 67182ae1c4). The changes from the patch in tip/core/rcu include making the config variable name match that in treercu, changing from seconds to jiffies to avoid spurious warnings, and printing a boot message when this feature is enabled.

2008-10-02genirq: record trigger typeDavid Brownell
Genirq hasn't previously recorded the trigger type used by any given IRQ, although some irq_chip support has done so. That data can be useful when troubleshooting. This patch records it in the relevant irq_desc.status bits, and improves consistency between the two driver-visible calls affected: - Make set_irq_type() usage match request_irq() usage: * IRQ_TYPE_NONE should be a NOP; succeed, so irq_chip methods won't have to handle that case any more (many do it wrong). * IRQ_TYPE_PROBE is ignored; any buggy out-of-tree callers might need to switch over to the real IRQ probing code. * emit the same diagnostics (from shared utility code) - Their kerneldoc now reflects usage: * request_irq() flags include IRQF_TRIGGER_* to specify active edge(s)/level ... docs previously omitted that * set_irq_type() is declared in <linux/irq.h> so callers should use the (bit-equivalent) IRQ_TYPE_* symbols there Also: adds a warning about shared IRQs that don't end up using the requested trigger mode; and fix an unrelated "sparse" warning.
