Frederic reported that because swevents handling doesn't disable IRQs
anymore, we can get a recursion of perf_adjust_period(), once from
overflow handling and once from the tick.
If both call ->disable, we get a double hlist_del_rcu() and trigger
a LIST_POISON2 dereference.
Since we don't actually need to stop/start a swevent to re-programm
the hardware (lack of hardware to program), simply nop out these
callbacks for the swevent pmu.

In commit e9fb7631eb ("cpu-hotplug: introduce cpu_notify(),
__cpu_notify(), cpu_notify_nofail()") the new helper functions access
cpu_chain. As a result, it shouldn't be marked __cpuinitdata (via
section mismatch warning).
Alternatively, the helper functions should be forced inline, or marked
__ref or __cpuinit. In the meantime, this patch silences the warning
the trivial way.

Mike reports that since e9e9250b (sched: Scale down cpu_power due to RT
tasks), wake_affine() goes funny on RT tasks due to them still having a
!0 weight and wake_affine() still subtracts that from the rq weight.
Since nobody should be using se->weight for RT tasks, set the value to
zero. Also, since we now use ->cpu_power to normalize rq weights to
account for RT cpu usage, add that factor into the imbalance computation.

Rafael sees a sometimes crash at precpu_modfree from kernel/module.c; it
only occurred with another (since-reverted) patch, but that patch simply
changed timing to uncover this bug, it was otherwise unrelated.
The comment about the mod being freed is self-explanatory, but neither
Tejun nor I read it. This bug was introduced in 259354deaa, after it
had previously been fixed in 6e2b75740b. How embarrassing.

If a sample size crosses to the next page boundary, the copy
will be made in more than one step. However we forget to advance
the source offset for the next copy, leading to unexpected double
copies that completely mess up the traces.
This fixes various kinds of bad traces that have irrelevant
data inside, as an example:
geany-4979 [001] 5758.077775: sched_switch: prev_comm=! prev_pid=121
prev_prio=0 prev_state=S|D|Z|X|x ==> next_comm= next_pid=7497072

The transactional API patch between the generic and model-specific
code introduced several important bugs with event scheduling, at
least on X86. If you had pinned events, e.g., watchdog, and were
over-committing the PMU, you would get bogus counts. The bug was
showing up on Intel CPU because events would move around more
often that on AMD. But the problem also existed on AMD, though
harder to expose.
The issues were:
- group_sched_in() was missing a cancel_txn() in the error path
- cpuc->n_added was not properly maintained, leading to missing
actions in hw_perf_enable(), i.e., n_running being 0. You cannot
update n_added until you know the transaction has succeeded. In
case of failed transaction n_added was not adjusted back.
- in case of failed transactions, event_sched_out() was called
and eventually invoked x86_disable_event() to touch the HW reg.
But with transactions, on X86, event_sched_in() does not touch
HW registers, it simply collects events into a list. Thus, you
could end up calling x86_disable_event() on a counter which
did not correspond to the current event when idx != -1.
The patch modifies the generic and X86 code to avoid all those problems.
First, we keep track of the number of events added last. In case the
transaction fails, we substract them from n_added. This approach is
necessary (as opposed to delaying updates to n_added) because not all
event updates use the transaction API, e.g., single events.
Second, we encapsulate the event_sched_in() and event_sched_out() in
group_sched_in() inside the transaction. That makes the operations
symmetrical and you can also detect that you are inside a transaction
and skip the HW reg access by checking cpuc->group_flag.
With this patch, you can now overcommit the PMU even with pinned
system-wide events present and still get valid counts.

tracepoint_probe_unregister() does not synchronize against the probe
callbacks, so do that explicitly. This properly serializes the callbacks
and the free of the data used therein.

Group siblings don't pin each-other or the parent, so when we destroy
events we must make sure to clean up all cross referencing pointers.
In particular, for destruction of a group leader we must be able to
find all its siblings and remove their reference to it.
This means that detaching an event from its context must not detach it
from the group, otherwise we can end up failing to clear all pointers.
Solve this by clearly separating the attachment to a context and
attachment to a group, and keep the group composed until we destroy
the events.

Problem: In a stress test where some heavy tests were running along with
regular CPU offlining and onlining, a hang was observed. The system seems
to be hung at a point where migration_call() tries to kill the
migration_thread of the dying CPU, which just got moved to the current
CPU. This migration thread does not get a chance to run (and die) since
rt_throttled is set to 1 on current, and it doesn't get cleared as the
hrtimer which is supposed to reset the rt bandwidth
(sched_rt_period_timer) is tied to the CPU which we just marked dead!
Solution: This patch pushes the killing of migration thread to
"CPU_POST_DEAD" event. By then all the timers (including
sched_rt_period_timer) should have got migrated (along with other
callbacks).

IA64 already added its own version of __node_random(), but the fact is,
there is nothing architectural about the function, and the original
commit was just badly done. Revert it, since no fix is forthcoming.
