sched: optimize sched_clock() a bit
sched: improve sched_clock() performance
sched_clock() uses cycles_2_ns() needlessly - which is an irq-disabling
variant of __cycles_2_ns().
Most of the time sched_clock() is called with irqs disabled already.
The few places that call it with irqs enabled need to be updated.

in scheduler-intense workloads native_read_tsc() overhead accounts for
20% of the system overhead:
659567 system_call 41222.9375
686796 schedule 435.7843
718382 __switch_to 665.1685
823875 switch_mm 4526.7857
1883122 native_read_tsc 55385.9412
9761990 total 2.8468
this is large part due to the rdtsc_barrier() that is done before
and after reading the TSC.
But sched_clock() is not a precise clock in the GTOD sense, using such
barriers is completely pointless. So remove the barriers and only use
them in vget_cycles().
This improves lat_ctx performance by about 5%.

IA64 kdump kernel failed to initialize /proc/vmcore in 2.6.28-rc2.
A bug was introduced in this patch commit:
d9a9855d0b
always reserve elfcore header memory in crash kernel
The problem was that the call to reserve_elfcorehdr() should be placed
in CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP rather than in CONFIG_CRASH_KERNEL, which does
not exist.

Xen requires that all mappings of pagetable pages are read-only, so
that they can't be updated illegally. As a result, if a page is being
turned into a pagetable page, we need to make sure all its mappings
are RO.
If the page had been used for ioremap or vmalloc, it may still have
left over mappings as a result of not having been lazily unmapped.
This change makes sure we explicitly mop them all up before pinning
the page.
Unlike aliases created by kmap, the there can be vmalloc aliases even
for non-high pages, so we must do the flush unconditionally.

On 32-bit PAE, pud_page, for no good reason, didn't really return a

pud_page does return a struct page *.
Because PAE has 3 pagetable levels, the pud level is folded into the
pgd level, so pgd_page() is the same as pud_page(), and now returns
a struct page *. Update the xen/mmu.c code which uses pgd_page()
accordingly.

This fixes a regression introduced by 2c6e6db41f
"Minimize per_cpu reservations." That patch incorrectly used information about
what CPUs are possible that was not yet initialized by ACPI. The end result
was that per_cpu structures for offline CPUs were not initialized causing a
NULL pointer reference.
Since we cannot do the full acpi_boot_init() call any earlier, the simplest
fix is to just parse the MADT for SAPIC entries early to find the CPU
info. This should also allow for some cleanup of the code added by the
"Minimize per_cpu reservations". This patch just fixes the regressions, the
cleanup will come in a later patch.

As of 73bdf0a60e, the kernel needs
to know where modules are located in the virtual address space.
On ARM, we located this region between MODULE_START and MODULE_END.
Unfortunately, everyone else calls it MODULES_VADDR and MODULES_END.
Update ARM to use the same naming, so is_vmalloc_or_module_addr()
can work properly. Also update the comment on mm/vmalloc.c to
reflect that ARM also places modules in a separate region from the
vmalloc space.

This reverts commit c7ffa6c262.
the assumptio of this change was that this would not break

the ACPI reboot method: the system would hang on reboot, necessiating
a power cycle. Probably more systems are affected as well.
Also, there are patches queued up for v2.6.29 to disable virtualization
on emergency_restart() - which was the original motivation of
this change.

Impact: fix boot hang on 32-bit systems with more than 224 IO-APIC pins
On some 32-bit systems with a lot of IO-APICs probe_nr_irqs() can
return a value larger than NR_IRQS. This will lead to probe_irq_on()
overrunning the irq_desc array.
I hit this when running net-next-2.6 (close to 2.6.28-rc3) on a
Supermicro dual Xeon system. NR_IRQS is 224 but probe_nr_irqs() detects
5 IOAPICs and returns 240. Here are the log messages:

Impact: improve wakeup affinity on NUMA systems, tweak SMP systems
Given the fixes+tweaks to the wakeup-buddy code, re-tweak the domain
balancing defaults on NUMA and SMP systems.
Turn on SD_WAKE_AFFINE which was off on x86 NUMA - there's no reason
why we would not want to have wakeup affinity across nodes as well.
(we already do this in the standard NUMA template.)
lat_ctx on a NUMA box is particularly happy about this change:
before:
| phoenix:~/l> ./lat_ctx -s 0 2
| "size=0k ovr=2.60
| 2 5.70
after:
| phoenix:~/l> ./lat_ctx -s 0 2
| "size=0k ovr=2.65
| 2 2.07
a 2.75x speedup.
pipe-test is similarly happy about it too:
| phoenix:~/sched-tests> ./pipe-test
| 18.26 usecs/loop.
| 14.70 usecs/loop.
| 14.38 usecs/loop.
| 10.55 usecs/loop. # +WAKE_AFFINE on domain0+domain1
| 8.63 usecs/loop.
| 8.59 usecs/loop.
| 9.03 usecs/loop.
| 8.94 usecs/loop.
| 8.96 usecs/loop.
| 8.63 usecs/loop.
Also:
- disable SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE on NUMA and SMP domains (keep it for siblings)
- enable SD_WAKE_BALANCE on SMP domains
Sysbench+postgresql improves all around the board, quite significantly:
.28-rc3-11474e2c .28-rc3-11474e2c-tune
-------------------------------------------------
1: 571 688 +17.08%
2: 1236 1206 -2.55%

makedumpfile[1] cannot run on ia64 discontigmem kernel, because the member
node_mem_map of struct pgdat_list has invalid value. This patch fixes it.
node_start_pfn shows the start pfn of each node, and node_mem_map should
point 'struct page' of each node's node_start_pfn. On my machine, node0's
node_start_pfn shows 0x400 and its node_mem_map points 0xa0007fffbf000000.
This address is the same as vmem_map, so the node_mem_map points 'struct
page' of pfn 0, even if its node_start_pfn shows 0x400.
The cause is due to the round down of min_pfn in count_node_pages() and
node0's node_mem_map points 'struct page' of inactive pfn (0x0). This
patch fixes it.
