block: only force kblockd unplugging from the schedule() path
block: cleanup the block plug helper functions
block, blk-sysfs: Use the variable directly instead of a function call
block: move queue run on unplug to kblockd
block: kill queue_sync_plugs()
block: readd plug trace event
block: add callback function for unplug notification
block: add comment on why we save and disable interrupts in flush_plug_list()
block: fixup block IO unplug trace call
block: remove block_unplug_timer() trace point
block: splice plug list to local context
We really only want to unplug the pending IO when the process actually
goes to sleep. So move the test for flushing the plug up to the place
where we actually deactivate the task - where we have properly checked
for preemption and for the process really sleeping.

Xen save/restore is going to use hibernate device callbacks for
quiescing devices and putting them back to normal operations and it
would need to select CONFIG_HIBERNATION for this purpose. However,
that also would cause the hibernate interfaces for user space to be
enabled, which might confuse user space, because the Xen kernels
don't support hibernation. Moreover, it would be wasteful, as it
would make the Xen kernels include a substantial amount of code that
they would never use.
To address this issue introduce new power management Kconfig option
CONFIG_HIBERNATE_CALLBACKS, such that it will only select the code
that is necessary for the hibernate device callbacks to work and make
CONFIG_HIBERNATION select it. Then, Xen save/restore will be able to
select CONFIG_HIBERNATE_CALLBACKS without dragging the entire
hibernate code along with it.

Instead of the possible multiple-evaluation of num_online_cpus()
in rebalance_domains() that Linus reported, avoid it altogether
in the normal case since it's implemented with a Hamming weight
function over a cpu bitmask which can be darn expensive for those
with big iron.
This also makes it cleaner, smaller and documents the code.

The ADJ_SETOFFSET bit added in commit 094aa188 ("ntp: Add ADJ_SETOFFSET
mode bit") also introduced a way for any user to change the system time.
Sneaky or buggy calls to adjtimex() could set
ADJ_OFFSET_SS_READ | ADJ_SETOFFSET
which would result in a successful call to timekeeping_inject_offset().
This patch fixes the issue by adding the capability check.

On ppc64 the crashkernel region almost always overlaps an area of firmware.
This works fine except when using the sysfs interface to reduce the kdump
region. If we free the firmware area we are guaranteed to crash.
Rename free_reserved_phys_range to crash_free_reserved_phys_range and make
it a weak function so we can override it.

The interval for checking scheduling domains if they are due to be
balanced currently depends on boot state NR_CPUS, which may not
accurately reflect the number of online CPUs at the time of check.
Thus replace NR_CPUS with num_online_cpus().
(ed: Should only affect those who set NR_CPUS really high, such as 4096
or so :-)

sched_setscheduler() (in sched.c) is called in order of changing the
scheduling policy and/or the real-time priority of a task. Thus,
if we find out that neither of those are actually being modified, it
is possible to return earlier and save the overhead of a full
deactivate+activate cycle of the task in question.
Beside that, if we have more than one SCHED_FIFO task with the same
priority on the same rq (which means they share the same priority queue)
having one of them changing its position in the priority queue because of
a sched_setscheduler (as it happens by means of the deactivate+activate)
that does not actually change the priority violates POSIX which states,
for SCHED_FIFO:
"If a thread whose policy or priority has been modified by
pthread_setschedprio() is a running thread or is runnable, the effect on
its position in the thread list depends on the direction of the
modification, as follows: a. <...> b. If the priority is unchanged, the
thread does not change position in the thread list. c. <...>"
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/xsh_chap02_08.html
(ed: And the POSIX specification here does, briefly and somewhat unexpectedly,
match what common sense tells us as well. )
