MAINTAINERS: Update email address for SCHEDULER and PERF EVENTS
If schedule is called from an interrupt handler __schedule_bug()
will call show_regs() with the registers saved during the
interrupt handling done in do_IRQ(). This means we'll see the
registers and the backtrace for the process that was interrupted
and not the full backtrace explaining who called schedule().
This is due to 838225b ("sched: use show_regs() to improve
__schedule_bug() output", 2007-10-24) which improperly assumed
that get_irq_regs() would return the registers for the current
stack because it is being called from within an interrupt
handler. Simply remove the show_reg() code so that we dump a
backtrace for the interrupt handler that called schedule().
[ I ran across this when I was presented with a scheduling while
atomic log with a stacktrace pointing at spin_unlock_irqrestore().
It made no sense and I had to guess what interrupt handler could
be called and poke around for someone calling schedule() in an
interrupt handler. A simple test of putting an msleep() in
an interrupt handler works better with this patch because you
can actually see the msleep() call in the backtrace. ]

asm/system.h is a cause of circular dependency problems because it contains
commonly used primitive stuff like barrier definitions and uncommonly used
stuff like switch_to() that might require MMU definitions.
asm/system.h has been disintegrated by this point on all arches into the
following common segments:
(1) asm/barrier.h
Moved memory barrier definitions here.
(2) asm/cmpxchg.h
Moved xchg() and cmpxchg() here. #included in asm/atomic.h.
(3) asm/bug.h
Moved die() and similar here.
(4) asm/exec.h

(5) asm/elf.h

(6) asm/switch_to.h

Commit 5fbd036b55 ("sched: Cleanup cpu_active madness"), which was
supposed to finally sort the cpu_active mess, instead uncovered more.
Since CPU_STARTING is ran before setting the cpu online, there's a
(small) window where the cpu has active,!online.
If during this time there's a wakeup of a task that used to reside on
that cpu select_task_rq() will use select_fallback_rq() to compute an
alternative cpu to run on since we find !online.
select_fallback_rq() however will compute the new cpu against
cpu_active, this means that it can return the same cpu it started out
with, the !online one, since that cpu is in fact marked active.
This results in us trying to scheduling a task on an offline cpu and
triggering a WARN in the IPI code.
The solution proposed by Chuansheng Liu of setting cpu_active in
set_cpu_online() is buggy, firstly not all archs actually use
set_cpu_online(), secondly, not all archs call set_cpu_online() with
IRQs disabled, this means we would introduce either the same race or
the race from fd8a7de17 ("x86: cpu-hotplug: Prevent softirq wakeup on
wrong CPU") -- albeit much narrower.
[ By setting online first and active later we have a window of
online,!active, fresh and bound kthreads have task_cpu() of 0 and
since cpu0 isn't in tsk_cpus_allowed() we end up in
select_fallback_rq() which excludes !active, resulting in a reset
of ->cpus_allowed and the thread running all over the place. ]
The solution is to re-work select_fallback_rq() to require active
_and_ online. This makes the active,!online case work as expected,
OTOH archs running CPU_STARTING after setting online are now
vulnerable to the issue from fd8a7de17 -- these are alpha and
blackfin.

Pull security subsystem updates for 3.4 from James Morris:
"The main addition here is the new Yama security module from Kees Cook,
which was discussed at the Linux Security Summit last year. Its
purpose is to collect miscellaneous DAC security enhancements in one

were previously limited to being standalone access control systems.
Chromium OS is using Yama, and I believe there are plans for Ubuntu,
at least.
This patchset also includes maintenance updates for AppArmor, TOMOYO

Various people reported nohz load tracking still being wrecked, but Doug
spotted the actual problem. We fold the nohz remainder in too soon,
causing us to loose samples and under-account.
So instead of playing catch-up up-front, always do a single load-fold
with whatever state we encounter and only then fold the nohz remainder
and play catch-up.

There's a few awkward printk()s inside of scheduler guts that people
prefer to keep but really are rather deadlock prone. Fudge around it
by storing the text in a per-cpu buffer and poll it using the existing
printk_tick() handler.
This will drop output when its more frequent than once a tick, however
only the affinity thing could possible go that fast and for that just
one should suffice to notify the admin he's done something silly..

Now the purpose of cpu_active is mostly with bringing down a cpu, where
we mark it !active to avoid the load-balancer from moving tasks to it
while we tear down the cpu. This is required because we only update the
sched_domain tree after we brought the cpu-down. And this is needed so
that some tasks can still run while we bring it down, we just don't want
new tasks to appear.
On cpu-up however the sched_domain tree doesn't yet include the new cpu,
so its invisible to the load-balancer, regardless of the active state.
So instead of setting the active state after we boot the new cpu (and
consequently having to wait for it before enabling interrupts) set the
cpu active before we set it online and avoid the whole mess.

This reverts commit 8f2f748b06.
It causes some odd regression that we have not figured out, and it's too
late in the -rc series to try to figure it out now.
As reported by Konstantin Khlebnikov, it causes consistent hangs on his
laptop (Thinkpad x220: 2x cores + HT). They can be avoided by adding
calls to "rebuild_sched_domains();" in cpuset_cpu_[in]active() for the
CPU_{ONLINE/DOWN_FAILED/DOWN_PREPARE}_FROZEN cases, but it's not at all
clear why, and it makes no sense.
Konstantin's config doesn't even have CONFIG_CPUSETS enabled, just to
make things even more interesting. So it's not the cpusets, it's just
the scheduling domains.
So until this is understood, revert.

Per cgroup load-balance has numerous problems, chief amongst them that
there is no real sane order in them. So stop pretending it makes sense
and enqueue all tasks on a single list.
This also allows us to more easily fix the fwd progress issue
uncovered by the lock-break stuff. Rotate the list on failure to
migreate and limit the total iterations to nr_running (which with
releasing the lock isn't strictly accurate but close enough).
Also add a filter that skips very light tasks on the first attempt
around the list, this attempts to avoid shooting whole cgroups around
without affecting over balance.

Idle task boosting is a nono in general. There is one
exception, when PREEMPT_RT and NOHZ is active:
The idle task calls get_next_timer_interrupt() and holds
the timer wheel base->lock on the CPU and another CPU wants
to access the timer (probably to cancel it). We can safely
ignore the boosting request, as the idle CPU runs this code
with interrupts disabled and will complete the lock
protected section without being interrupted. So there is no
real need to boost.

For code which protects the waitqueue itself with another lock it
makes no sense to acquire the waitqueue lock for wakeup all. Provide
__wake_up_all_locked().
This is an optimization on the vanilla kernel (to be used by the
PCI code) and an important semantic distinction on -rt.

Create a distinction between scheduler related preempt_enable_no_resched()
calls and the nearly one hundred other places in the kernel that do not
want to reschedule, for one reason or another.
This distinction matters for -rt, where the scheduler and the non-scheduler
preempt models (and checks) are different. For upstream it's purely
documentational.

Currently, during CPU hotplug, the cpuset callbacks modify the cpusets
to reflect the state of the system, and this handling is asymmetric.
That is, upon CPU offline, that CPU is removed from all cpusets. However
when it comes back online, it is put back only to the root cpuset.
This gives rise to a significant problem during suspend/resume. During
suspend, we offline all non-boot cpus and during resume we online them back.
Which means, after a resume, all cpusets (except the root cpuset) will be
restricted to just one single CPU (the boot cpu). But the whole point of
suspend/resume is to restore the system to a state which is as close as
possible to how it was before suspend.
So to fix this, don't touch cpusets during suspend/resume. That is, modify
the cpuset-related CPU hotplug callback to just ignore CPU hotplug when it
is initiated as part of the suspend/resume sequence.
