Impact: stack usage reduction, (future) size reduction for large NR_CPUS.

Dynamically allocating cpumasks (when CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK) saves

The fact cpupro_init is called both before and after the slab is
available makes for an ugly parameter unfortunately.

We also use cpumask_any_and to get rid of a temporary in cpupri_find.

Rusty Russell e76bd8d985 sched: avoid stack var in move_task_off_dead_cpu
Impact: stack usage reduction

With some care, we can avoid needing a temporary cpumask (we can't
really allocate here, since we can't fail).

This version calls cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked() with the task_rq_lock
held.  I'm fairly sure this works, but there might be a deadlock
hiding.

And of course, we can't get rid of the last cpumask on stack until we
can use cpumask_of_node instead of node_to_cpumask.

Rusty Russell 6c99e9ad47 sched: convert struct sched_group/sched_domain cpumask_ts to variable bitmaps
Impact: (future) size reduction for large NR_CPUS.

We move the 'cpumask' member of sched_group to the end, so when we
kmalloc it we can do a minimal allocation: saves space for small
nr_cpu_ids but big CONFIG_NR_CPUS.  Similar trick for 'span' in
sched_domain.

This isn't quite as good as converting to a cpumask_var_t, as some
sched_groups are actually static, but it's safer: we don't have to
figure out where to call alloc_cpumask_var/free_cpumask_var.

Frederic Weisbecker f201ae2356 tracing/function-return-tracer: store return stack into task_struct and allocate it dynamically
Impact: use deeper function tracing depth safely

Some tests showed that function return tracing needed a more deeper depth
of function calls. But it could be unsafe to store these return addresses
to the stack.

So these arrays will now be allocated dynamically into task_struct of current
only when the tracer is activated.

Typical scheme when tracer is activated:
- allocate a return stack for each task in global list.
- fork: allocate the return stack for the newly created task
- exit: free return stack of current
- idle init: same as fork

I chose a default depth of 50. I don't have overruns anymore.

Ken Chen ec4e0e2fe0 sched: fix inconsistency when redistribute per-cpu tg->cfs_rq shares
Impact: make load-balancing more consistent

In the update_shares() path leading to tg_shares_up(), the calculation of
per-cpu cfs_rq shares is rather erratic even under moderate task wake up
rate.  The problem is that the per-cpu tg->cfs_rq load weight used in the
sd_rq_weight aggregation and actual redistribution of the cfs_rq->shares
are collected at different time.  Under moderate system load, we've seen
quite a bit of variation on the cfs_rq->shares and ultimately wildly
affects sched_entity's load weight.

This patch caches the result of initial per-cpu load weight when doing the
sum calculation, and then pass it down to update_group_shares_cpu() for
redistributing per-cpu cfs_rq shares.  This allows consistent total cfs_rq
shares across all CPUs. It also simplifies the rounding and zero load
weight check.

Li Zefan 700018e0a7 cpuset: fix regression when failed to generate sched domains
Impact: properly rebuild sched-domains on kmalloc() failure

When cpuset failed to generate sched domains due to kmalloc()

destroys but not rebuilds sched domains.

The regression was introduced by:

only destroy sched domains and partition_sched_domains(1, NULL, NULL)
will create the default sched domain.

Oleg Nesterov ad474caca3 fix for account_group_exec_runtime(), make sure ->signal can't be freed under rq->lock
Impact: fix hang/crash on ia64 under high load

This is ugly, but the simplest patch by far.

Unlike other similar routines, account_group_exec_runtime() could be
called "implicitly" from within scheduler after exit_notify(). This
means we can race with the parent doing release_task(), we can't just
check ->signal != NULL.

Change __exit_signal() to do spin_unlock_wait(&task_rq(tsk)->lock)
before __cleanup_signal() to make sure ->signal can't be freed under
task_rq(tsk)->lock. Note that task_rq_unlock_wait() doesn't care
about the case when tsk changes cpu/rq under us, this should be OK.

This allows co-waking producer/consumer task pairs to run ahead of the
pack for a little while, keeping their cache warm. Without this, we
would interleave all pairs, utterly trashing the cache.

This patch introduces a backward looking buddy, that is, suppose that
in the above scenario, the consumer preempts the producer before it
can go to sleep, we will therefore miss the wakeup from consumer to
producer (its already running, after all), breaking the cycle and
reverting to the cache-trashing interleaved schedule pattern.

The backward buddy will try to schedule back to the task that woke us
up in case the forward buddy is not available, under the assumption
that the last task will be the one with the most cache hot task around
barring current.

This will basically allow a task to continue after it got preempted.

In order to avoid starvation, we allow either buddy to get wakeup_gran
ahead of the pack.

Li Zefan faa2f98f85 sched: add sanity check in partition_sched_domains()
Impact: cleanup, add debug check

It's wrong to make dattr_new = NULL if doms_new == NULL, it introduces
memory leak if dattr_new != NULL. Fortunately dattr_new is always NULL
in this case. So remove the code and add a sanity check.

Li Zefan eab172294d sched: cleanup for alloc_rt/fair_sched_group()
Impact: cleanup

Remove checking parent == NULL. It won't be NULLL, because we dynamically
create sub task_group only, and sub task_group always has its parent.
(root task_group is statically defined)

Also replace kmalloc_node(GFP_ZERO) with kzalloc_node().

Peter Zijlstra 3f3a490480 sched: virtual time buddy preemption
Since we moved wakeup preemption back to virtual time, it makes sense to move
the buddy stuff back as well. The purpose of the buddy scheduling is to allow
a quickly scheduling pair of tasks to run away from the group as far as a
regular busy task would be allowed under wakeup preemption.

This has the advantage that the pair can ping-pong for a while, enjoying
cache-hotness. Without buddy scheduling other tasks would interleave destroying
the cache.

Also, it saves a word in cfs_rq.
