This is a fix to give notrace filter rules priority over "set_ftrace_filter"
rules.
This fix ensures that functions which are set to be filtered and are
concurrently marked as "notrace" don't get recorded. As of now, if
a record is marked as FTRACE_FL_FILTER and is enabled, then the notrace
flag is not checked. Tested on x86-32.

ACPI PM: Add possibility to change suspend sequence
There are some systems out there that don't work correctly with
our current suspend/hibernation code ordering. Provide a workaround
for these systems allowing them to pass 'acpi_sleep=old_ordering' in
the kernel command line so that it will use the pre-ACPI 2.0 ("old")
suspend code ordering.
Unfortunately, this requires us to add a platform hook to the
resuming of devices for recovering the platform in case one of the
device drivers' .suspend() routines returns error code. Namely,
ACPI 1.0 specifies that _PTS should be called before suspending
devices, but _WAK still should be called before resuming them in
order to undo the changes made by _PTS. However, if there is an
error during suspending devices, they are automatically resumed
without returning control to the PM core, so the _WAK has to be
called from within device_resume() in that cases.
The patch also reorders and refactors the ACPI suspend/hibernation
code to avoid duplication as far as reasonably possible.

sched: fix TASK_WAKEKILL vs SIGKILL race
|

(overflow means weight >= 2^32 here, because inv_weigh = 2^32/weight)
A weight of a cfs_rq is the sum of weights of which entities
are queued on this cfs_rq, so it will overflow when there are
too many entities.
Although, overflow occurs very rarely, but it break fairness when
it occurs. 64-bits systems have more memory than 32-bit systems
and 64-bit systems can create more process usually, so overflow may
occur more frequently.
This patch guarantees fairness when overflow happens on 64-bit systems.
Thanks to the optimization of compiler, it changes nothing on 32-bit.

I found a bug which can be reproduced by this way:(linux-2.6.26-rc5, x86-64)
(use 2^32, 2^33, ...., 2^63 as shares value)
# mkdir /dev/cpuctl
# mount -t cgroup -o cpu cpuctl /dev/cpuctl
# cd /dev/cpuctl
# mkdir sub
# echo 0x8000000000000000 > sub/cpu.shares
# echo $$ > sub/tasks
oops here! divide by zero.
This is because do_div() expects the 2th parameter to be 32 bits,
but unsigned long is 64 bits in x86_64.
Peter Zijstra pointed it out that the sane thing to do is limit the
shares value to something smaller instead of using an even more
expensive divide.
Also, I found another bug about "the shares value is too large":
pid1 and pid2 are set affinity to cpu#0
pid1 is attached to cg1 and pid2 is attached to cg2
if cg1/cpu.shares = 1024 cg2/cpu.shares = 2000000000
then pid2 got 100% usage of cpu, and pid1 0%
if cg1/cpu.shares = 1024 cg2/cpu.shares = 20000000000
then pid2 got 0% usage of cpu, and pid1 100%
And a weight of a cfs_rq is the sum of weights of which entities
are queued on this cfs_rq, so the shares value should be limited
to a smaller value.
I think that (1UL << 18) is a good limited value:
1) it's not too large, we can create a lot of group before overflow
2) it's several times the weight value for nice=-19 (not too small)

Introduce 'struct pm_ops' and 'struct pm_ext_ops' ('ext' meaning
'extended') representing suspend and hibernation operations for bus
types, device classes, device types and device drivers.
Modify the PM core to use 'struct pm_ops' and 'struct pm_ext_ops'
objects, if defined, instead of the ->suspend(), ->resume(),
->suspend_late(), and ->resume_early() callbacks (the old callbacks
will be considered as legacy and gradually phased out).
The main purpose of doing this is to separate suspend (aka S2RAM and
standby) callbacks from hibernation callbacks in such a way that the
new callbacks won't take arguments and the semantics of each of them
will be clearly specified. This has been requested for multiple
times by many people, including Linus himself, and the reason is that
within the current scheme if ->resume() is called, for example, it's
difficult to say why it's been called (ie. is it a resume from RAM or
from hibernation or a suspend/hibernation failure etc.?).
The second purpose is to make the suspend/hibernation callbacks more
flexible so that device drivers can handle more than they can within
the current scheme. For example, some drivers may need to prevent
new children of the device from being registered before their
->suspend() callbacks are executed or they may want to carry out some
operations requiring the availability of some other devices, not
directly bound via the parent-child relationship, in order to prepare
for the execution of ->suspend(), etc.
Ultimately, we'd like to stop using the freezing of tasks for suspend
and therefore the drivers' suspend/hibernation code will have to take
care of the handling of the user space during suspend/hibernation.
That, in turn, would be difficult within the current scheme, without
the new ->prepare() and ->complete() callbacks.

schedule() has the special "TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE && signal_pending()" case,
this allows us to do
current->state = TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE;
schedule();
without fear to sleep with pending signal.
However, the code like
current->state = TASK_KILLABLE;
schedule();
is not right, schedule() doesn't take TASK_WAKEKILL into account. This means
that mutex_lock_killable(), wait_for_completion_killable(), down_killable(),
schedule_timeout_killable() can miss SIGKILL (and btw the second SIGKILL has
no effect).
Introduce the new helper, signal_pending_state(), and change schedule() to
use it. Hopefully it will have more users, that is why the task's state is
passed separately.
Note this "__TASK_STOPPED | __TASK_TRACED" check in signal_pending_state().
This is needed to preserve the current behaviour (ptrace_notify). I hope
this check will be removed soon, but this (afaics good) change needs the
separate discussion.
The fast path is "(state & (INTERRUPTIBLE | WAKEKILL)) + signal_pending(p)",
basically the same that schedule() does now. However, this patch of course
bloats schedule().

cpusets
First issue is not related to the cpusets. We're simply leaking doms_cur.
It's allocated in arch_init_sched_domains() which is called for every
hotplug event. So we just keep reallocation doms_cur without freeing it.
I introduced free_sched_domains() function that cleans things up.
Second issue is that sched domains created by the cpusets are
completely destroyed by the CPU hotplug events. For all CPU hotplug
events scheduler attaches all CPUs to the NULL domain and then puts
them all into the single domain thereby destroying domains created
by the cpusets (partition_sched_domains).
The solution is simple, when cpusets are enabled scheduler should not
create default domain and instead let cpusets do that. Which is
exactly what the patch does.

The RT folks over at RedHat found an issue w.r.t. hotplug support which
was traced to problems with the cpupri infrastructure in the scheduler:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449676
This bug affects 23-rt12+, 24-rtX, 25-rtX, and sched-devel. This patch
applies to 25.4-rt4, though it should trivially apply to most cpupri enabled
kernels mentioned above.
It turned out that the issue was that offline cpus could get inadvertently
registered with cpupri so that they were erroneously selected during
migration decisions. The end result would be an OOPS as the offline cpu
had tasks routed to it.
This patch generalizes the old join/leave domain interface into an
online/offline interface, and adjusts the root-domain/hotplug code to
utilize it.
I was able to easily reproduce the issue prior to this patch, and am no
longer able to reproduce it after this patch. I can offline cpus
indefinately and everything seems to be in working order.
Thanks to Arnaldo (acme), Thomas, and Peter for doing the legwork to point
me in the right direction. Also thank you to Peter for reviewing the

Dmitry Adamushko pointed out a known flaw in the rt-balancing algorithm
that could allow suboptimal balancing if a non-migratable task gets
queued behind a running migratable one. It is discussed in this thread:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/22/296
This issue has been further exacerbated by a recent checkin to
sched-devel (git-id 5eee63a5ebc19a870ac40055c0be49457f3a89a3).
>From a pure priority standpoint, the run-queue is doing the "right"
thing. Using Dmitry's nomenclature, if T0 is on cpu1 first, and T1
wakes up at equal or lower priority (affined only to cpu1) later, it
*should* wait for T0 to finish. However, in reality that is likely
suboptimal from a system perspective if there are other cores that
could allow T0 and T1 to run concurrently. Since T1 can not migrate,
the only choice for higher concurrency is to try to move T0. This is
not something we addessed in the recent rt-balancing re-work.
This patch tries to enhance the balancing algorithm by accomodating this
scenario. It accomplishes this by incorporating the migratability of a
task into its priority calculation. Within a numerical tsk->prio, a
non-migratable task is logically higher than a migratable one. We
maintain this by introducing a new per-priority queue (xqueue, or
exclusive-queue) for holding non-migratable tasks. The scheduler will
draw from the xqueue over the standard shared-queue (squeue) when
available.
There are several details for utilizing this properly.
1) During task-wake-up, we not only need to check if the priority
preempts the current task, but we also need to check for this
non-migratable condition. Therefore, if a non-migratable task wakes
up and sees an equal priority migratable task already running, it
will attempt to preempt it *if* there is a likelyhood that the
current task will find an immediate home.
2) Tasks only get this non-migratable "priority boost" on wake-up. Any
requeuing will result in the non-migratable task being queued to the
end of the shared queue. This is an attempt to prevent the system
from being completely unfair to migratable tasks during things like
SCHED_RR timeslicing.
I am sure this patch introduces potentially "odd" behavior if you
concoct a scenario where a bunch of non-migratable threads could starve
migratable ones given the right pattern. I am not yet convinced that
this is a problem since we are talking about tasks of equal RT priority
anyway, and there never is much in the way of guarantees against
starvation under that scenario anyway. (e.g. you could come up with a
similar scenario with a specific timing environment verses an affinity
environment). I can be convinced otherwise, but for now I think this is
"ok".

Current IRQ affinity interface does not provide a way to set affinity
for the IRQs that will be allocated/activated in the future.
This patch creates /proc/irq/default_smp_affinity that lets users set
default affinity mask for the newly allocated IRQs. Changing the default
does not affect affinity masks for the currently active IRQs, they
have to be changed explicitly.
