2009-09-16sched: Implement a gentler fair-sleepers featureIngo Molnar
Add back FAIR_SLEEPERS and GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS. FAIR_SLEEPERS is the old logic: credit sleepers with their sleep time. GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS dampens this a bit: 50% of their sleep time gets credited. The hope here is to still give the benefits of fair-sleepers logic (quick wakeups, etc.) while not allow them to have 100% of their sleep time as if they were running.

2009-09-16sched: Add SD_PREFER_LOCALPeter Zijlstra

2009-09-15sched: Add a few SYNC hint knobs to play withPeter Zijlstra
Currently we use overlap to weaken the SYNC hint, but allow it to set the hint as well. echo NO_SYNC_WAKEUP > /debug/sched_features echo SYNC_MORE > /debug/sched_features preserves pipe-test behaviour without using the WF_SYNC hint.

2009-09-15sched: Fix sync wakeups againPeter Zijlstra
The sync argument rename to introduce WF_* broke stuff by missing a local alias for an argument in __wake_up_common, fix it by using the more descriptive wake_flags name. This restores WF_SYNC propagation, which fixes wake_affine() behaviour, which fixes pipe-test.

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). We also keep preemption disabled over the whole ttwu(). Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2009-09-15time: Prevent 32 bit overflow with set_normalized_timespec()Thomas Gleixner
set_normalized_timespec() nsec argument is of type long. The recent timekeeping changes of ktime_get_ts() feed ts->tv_nsec + tomono.tv_nsec + nsecs to set_normalized_timespec(). On 32 bit machines that sum can be larger than (1 << 31) and therefor result in a negative value which screws up the result completely. Make the nsec argument of set_normalized_timespec() s64 to fix the problem at hand. This also prevents similar problems for future users of set_normalized_timespec().

2009-09-14clocksource: Delay clocksource down rating to late bootThomas Gleixner
The down rating of clock sources in the early boot process via the clock source watchdog mechanism can happen way before the per cpu event queues are initialized. This leads to a boot crash on x86 when the TSC is marked unstable in the SMP bring up. The selection of a clock source for time keeping happens in the late boot process so we can safely delay the list manipulation until clocksource_done_booting() is called.

2009-09-14PM / Hibernate / Memory hotplug: Always use for_each_populated_zone()Gerald Schaefer
Use for_each_populated_zone() instead of for_each_zone() in hibernation code. This fixes a bug on s390, where we allow both config options HIBERNATION and MEMORY_HOTPLUG, so that we also have a ZONE_MOVABLE here. We only allow hibernation if no memory hotplug operation was performed, so in fact both features can only be used exclusively, but this way we don't need 2 differently configured (distribution) kernels. If we have an unpopulated ZONE_MOVABLE, we allow hibernation but run into a BUG_ON() in memory_bm_test/set/clear_bit() because hibernation code iterates through all zones, not only the populated zones, in several places. For example, swsusp_free() does for_each_zone() and then checks for pfn_valid(), which is true even if the zone is not populated, resulting in a BUG_ON() later because the pfn cannot be found in the memory bitmap. Replacing all occurences of for_each_zone() in hibernation code with for_each_populated_zone() would fix this issue.

2009-09-14PM/Hibernate: Do not try to allocate too much memory too hard (rev. 2)Rafael J. Wysocki
We want to avoid attempting to free too much memory too hard during hibernation, so estimate the minimum size of the image to use as the lower limit for preallocating memory. The approach here is based on the (experimental) observation that we can't free more page frames than the sum of: * global_page_state(NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE) * global_page_state(NR_ACTIVE_ANON) * global_page_state(NR_INACTIVE_ANON) * global_page_state(NR_ACTIVE_FILE) * global_page_state(NR_INACTIVE_FILE) minus * global_page_state(NR_FILE_MAPPED) Namely, if this number is subtracted from the number of saveable pages in the system, we get a good estimate of the minimum reasonable size of a hibernation image.

2009-09-14PM/Hibernate: Do not release preallocated memory unnecessarily (rev. 2)Rafael J. Wysocki
Since the hibernation code is now going to use allocations of memory to make enough room for the image, it can also use the page frames allocated at this stage as image page frames. The low-level hibernation code needs to be rearranged for this purpose, but it allows us to avoid freeing a great number of pages and allocating these same pages once again later, so it generally is worth doing.

2009-09-14PM/Hibernate: Rework shrinking of memoryRafael J. Wysocki
Rework swsusp_shrink_memory() so that it calls shrink_all_memory() just once to make some room for the image and then allocates memory to apply more pressure to the memory management subsystem, if necessary. Unfortunately, we don't seem to be able to drop shrink_all_memory() entirely just yet, because that would lead to huge performance regressions in some test cases. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
