3e51f33fcc sched: add optional support for CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK
this replaces the rq->clock stuff (and possibly cpu_clock()).

 - architectures that have an 'imperfect' hardware clock can set
   CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK

 - the 'jiffie' window might be superfulous when we update tick_gtod
   before the __update_sched_clock() call in sched_clock_tick()

 - cpu_clock() might be implemented as:

     sched_clock_cpu(smp_processor_id())

   if the accuracy proves good enough - how far can TSC drift in a
   single jiffie when considering the filtering and idle hooks?

dfbf4a1bc3 sched: fix cpu clock
David Miller pointed it out that nothing in cpu_clock() sets
prev_cpu_time. This caused __sync_cpu_clock() to be called
all the time - against the intention of this code.

The result was that in practice we hit a global spinlock every
time cpu_clock() is called - which - even though cpu_clock()
is used for tracing and debugging, is suboptimal.

While at it, also:

- move the irq disabling to the outest layer,
  this should make cpu_clock() warp-free when called with irqs
  enabled.

- use long long instead of cycles_t - for platforms where cycles_t
  is 32-bit.

cb4ad1ffc7 sched: fair-group: fix a Div0 error of the fair group scheduler
When I echoed 0 into the "cpu.shares" file, a Div0 error occured.

We found it is caused by the following calling.

   sched_group_set_shares(tg, shares)
       set_se_shares(tg->se[i], shares/nr_cpu_ids)
           __set_se_shares(se, shares)
               div64_64((1ULL<<32), shares)

When the echoed value was less than the number of processores, the result of the
sentence "shares/nr_cpu_ids" was 0, and then the system called div64() to divide
the result, the Div0 error occured.

It is unnecessary that the shares value is divided by nr_cpu_ids, I think.
Because in the function  __update_group_shares_cpu() and init_tg_cfs_entry(),
the shares value isn't divided by nr_cpu_ids when setting shares of the sched
entity.

This patch fixes this bug. And echoing ULONG_MAX value into cpu.shares also
causes Div0 error, so we set a macro MAX_SHARES to limit the max value of
shares.

712555ee4f sched: fix missing locking in sched_domains code
Concurrent calls to detach_destroy_domains and arch_init_sched_domains
were prevented by the old scheduler subsystem cpu hotplug mutex. When
this got converted to get_online_cpus() the locking got broken.
Unlike before now several processes can concurrently enter the critical
sections that were protected by the old lock.

So use the already present doms_cur_mutex to protect these sections again.

This looks like its indeed not cancelled at all and migrates the it to

104f64549c sched: fix SCHED_FAIR wake-idle logic error
We currently use an optimization to skip the overhead of wake-idle
processing if more than one task is assigned to a run-queue.  The
assumption is that the system must already be load-balanced or we
wouldnt be overloaded to begin with.

The problem is that we are looking at rq->nr_running, which may include
RT tasks in addition to CFS tasks.  Since the presence of RT tasks
really has no bearing on the balance status of CFS tasks, this throws
the calculation off.

This patch changes the logic to only consider the number of CFS tasks
when making the decision to optimze the wake-idle.

8ae121ac86 sched: fix RT task-wakeup logic
Dmitry Adamushko pointed out a logic error in task_wake_up_rt() where we
will always evaluate to "true".  You can find the thread here:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/22/296

In reality, we only want to try to push tasks away when a wake up request is
not going to preempt the current task.  So lets fix it.

Note: We introduce test_tsk_need_resched() instead of open-coding the flag
check so that the merge-conflict with -rt should help remind us that we
may need to support NEEDS_RESCHED_DELAYED in the future, too.

826e4506a0 Make forced module loading optional
The kernel module loader used to be much too happy to allow loading of
modules for the wrong kernel version by default.  For example, if you
had MODVERSIONS enabled, but tried to load a module with no version
info, it would happily load it and taint the kernel - whether it was
likely to actually work or not!

Generally, such forced module loading should be considered a really
really bad idea, so make it conditional on a new config option
(MODULE_FORCE_LOAD), and make it default to off.

If somebody really wants to force module loads, that's their problem,
but we should not encourage it.  Especially as it happened to me by
mistake (ie regular unversioned Fedora modules getting loaded) causing
lots of strange behavior.

Force constants in kernel/timeconst.h (except shift counts) to be 64 bits,
using U64_C() constructor macros, and eliminate constants that cannot
be represented at all in 64 bits.  This avoids warnings with some gcc
versions.

Drop generating 64-bit constants, since we have no real hope of
getting a full set (operation on 64-bit values requires a 128-bit
intermediate result, which gcc only supports on 64-bit platforms, and
only with libgcc support on some.)  Note that the use of these
constants does not depend on if we are on a 32- or 64-bit architecture.

1adb0850a1 genirq: reenable a nobody cared disabled irq when a new driver arrives
Uwe Kleine-Koenig has some strange hardware where one of the shared
interrupts can be asserted during boot before the appropriate driver
loads. Requesting the shared irq line from another driver result in a
spurious interrupt storm which finally disables the interrupt line.

I have seen similar behaviour on resume before (the hardware does not
work anymore so I can not verify).

Change the spurious disable logic to increment the disable depth and
mark the interrupt with an extra flag which allows us to reenable the
interrupt when a new driver arrives which requests the same irq
line. In the worst case this will disable the irq again via the
spurious trap, but there is a decent chance that the new driver is the
one which can handle the already asserted interrupt and makes the box
usable again.

Eric Biederman said further: This case also happens on a regular basis
in kdump kernels where we deliberately don't shutdown the hardware
before starting the new kernel.  This patch should reduce the need for
using irqpoll in that situation by a small amount.

be089d79c4 kexec: make extended crashkernel= syntax less confusing
The extended crashkernel syntax is a little confusing in the way it handles
ranges.  eg:

 crashkernel=512M-2G:64M,2G-:128M

Means if the machine has between 512M and 2G of memory the crash region should
be 64M, and if the machine has 2G of memory the region should be 64M.  Only if
the machine has more than 2G memory will 128M be allocated.

Although that semantic is correct, it is somewhat baffling.  Instead I propose
that the end of the range means the first address past the end of the range,
ie: 512M up to but not including 2G.

9f14f669d1 ntp: increase time_offset resolution
time_offset is already a 64bit value but its resolution barely used, so this
makes better use of it by replacing SHIFT_UPDATE with TICK_LENGTH_SHIFT.

Side note: the SHIFT_HZ in SHIFT_UPDATE was incorrect for CONFIG_NO_HZ and the
primary reason for changing time_offset to 64bit to avoid the overflow.

074b3b8794 ntp: increase time_freq resolution
This changes time_freq to a 64bit value and makes it static (the only outside
user had no real need to modify it).  Intermediate values were already 64bit,
so the change isn't that big, but it saves a little in shifts by replacing
SHIFT_NSEC with TICK_LENGTH_SHIFT.  PPM_SCALE is then used to convert between
user space and kernel space representation.

eea83d896e ntp: NTP4 user space bits update
This adds a few more things from the ntp nanokernel related to user space.
It's now possible to select the resolution used of some values via STA_NANO
and the kernel reports in which mode it works (pll/fll).

If some values for adjtimex() are outside the acceptable range, they are now
simply normalized instead of letting the syscall fail.  I removed
MOD_CLKA/MOD_CLKB as the mapping didn't really makes any sense, the kernel
doesn't support setting the clock.

ee9851b218 ntp: cleanup ntp.c
This is mostly a style cleanup of ntp.c and extracts part of do_adjtimex as
ntp_update_offset().  Otherwise the functionality is still the same as before.

f8bd2258e2 remove div_long_long_rem
x86 is the only arch right now, which provides an optimized for
div_long_long_rem and it has the downside that one has to be very careful that
the divide doesn't overflow.

The API is a little akward, as the arguments for the unsigned divide are
signed.  The signed version also doesn't handle a negative divisor and
produces worse code on 64bit archs.

There is little incentive to keep this API alive, so this converts the few
users to the new API.

6f6d6a1a6a rename div64_64 to div64_u64
Rename div64_64 to div64_u64 to make it consistent with the other divide
functions, so it clearly includes the type of the divide.  Move its definition
to math64.h as currently no architecture overrides the generic implementation.
 They can still override it of course, but the duplicated declarations are
avoided.

This converts a few users of do_div to div_[su]64 and this demonstrates nicely
how it can reduce some expressions to one-liners.

e5e417232e Fix cpu hotplug problem in softirq code
currently cpu hotplug (unplug) seems broken on s390 and likely others. On cpu
unplug the system starts to behave very strange and hangs.

I bisected the problem to the following commit:

commit 48f20a9a94
Author: Olof Johansson <olof@lixom.net>
Date: Tue Mar 4 15:23:25 2008 -0800
	tasklets: execute tasklets in the same order they were queued

Reverting this patch seems to fix the problem.  I looked into takeover_tasklet
and it seems that there is a way to corrupt the tail pointer of the current
cpu.  If the tasklet list of the frozen cpu is empty, the tail pointer of the
current cpu points to the address of the head pointer of the stopped cpu and
not to the next pointer of a tasklet_struct.

This patch avoids the list splice of the list is empty and cpu hotplug seems
to work as the tail pointer is not corrupted.  Olof, can you look into that
patch and ACK/NACK it so Andrew can push this to Linus, if appropriate?
Please note that some lines are longer than 80 chars, but line-wrapping looked
worse that this version.

ad9546c991 module: neaten __find_symbol, rename to find_symbol
__find_symbol() has grown over time: there are now 5 different arrays
of symbols it traverses.  It also shouldn't print out a warning on
some calls (ie. verify_symbol which simply checks for name clashes,
and __symbol_put which checks for bugs).

1) Rename to find_symbol: no need for underscores.
2) Use bool and add "warn" parameter to suppress warnings.
3) Make table-driven rather than open coded.
