runtime limit and wakeup granularity used to be a function of
granularity and that was incorrect changed to sched_latency.
Fix this to make wakeup granularity a function of min-granularity,
and the runtime limit equal to latency.

due to adaptive granularity scheduling the role of sched_granularity
has changed to "minimum granularity", so rename the variable (and the
tunable) accordingly.

Instead of specifying the preemption granularity, specify the wanted
latency. By fixing the granlarity to a constany the wakeup latency
it a function of the number of running tasks on the rq.
Invert this relation.
sysctl_sched_granularity becomes a minimum for the dynamic granularity
computed from the new sysctl_sched_latency.
Then use this latency to do more intelligent granularity decisions: if
there are fewer tasks running then we can schedule coarser. This helps
performance while still always keeping the latency target.

delta = min((u64)delta, cfs_rq->sleeper_bonus);

delta = min(cfs_rq->sleeper_bonus, (u64)delta_exec);
delta = calc_delta_mine(delta, curr->load.weight, lw);
delta = min((u64)delta, cfs_rq->sleeper_bonus);
drop the first min(), because we clip against sleeper_bonus in the 3rd line
again. That gives:

make the bonus balance more consistent: do not hand out a bonus if
there's too much in flight already, and only deduct as much from a
runner as it has the capacity. This makes the bonus engine a zero-sum
game (as intended).
this also simplifies the code:
text data bss dec hex filename
34770 2998 24 37792 93a0 sched.o.before
34749 2998 24 37771 938b sched.o.after
and it also avoids overscheduling in sleep-happy workloads like
hackbench.c.

Mitchell Erblich suggested a quality-of-implementation change to
not requeue SCHED_RR tasks if there's only a single task on the
runqueue, by checking for rq->nr_running == 1.
provide a more efficient implementation of that, to check that
particular RT priority-queue only.
[ From: mingo@elte.hu ]
Also first requeue the task then set need_resched - results in slightly
better machine-instruction ordering. Also clean up the code a bit.

remove HZ dependency from the granularity default. Use 10 msec for
the base granularity, 1 msec for wakeup granularity and 25 msec for
batch wakeup granularity. (These defaults are close to the values
that the default HZ=250 setting got previously, and thus it's the
most common setting.)

Was playing with sched_smt_power_savings/sched_mc_power_savings and
found out that while the scheduler domains are reconstructed when sysfs
settings change, rebalance_domains() can get triggered with null domain
on other cpus, which is setting next_balance to jiffies + 60*HZ.
Resulting in no idle/busy balancing for 60 seconds.
Fix this.

On a four package system with HT - HT load balancing optimizations were
broken. For example, if two tasks end up running on two logical threads
of one of the packages, scheduler is not able to pull one of the tasks
to a completely idle package.
In this scenario, for nice-0 tasks, imbalance calculated by scheduler
will be 512 and find_busiest_queue() will return 0 (as each cpu's load
is 1024 > imbalance and has only one task running).
Similarly MC scheduler optimizations also get fixed with this patch.

construct a more or less wall-clock time out of sched_clock(), by
using ACPI-idle's existing knowledge about how much time we spent
idling. This allows the rq clock to work around TSC-stops-in-C2,
TSC-gets-corrupted-in-C3 type of problems.
( Besides the scheduler's statistics this also benefits blktrace and
printk-timestamps as well. )
Furthermore, the precise before-C2/C3-sleep and after-C2/C3-wakeup
callbacks allow the scheduler to get out the most of the period where
the CPU has a reliable TSC. This results in slightly more precise
task statistics.
the ACPI bits were acked by Len.

dequeue_signal:
if (__SI_TIMER) {
spin_unlock(&tsk->sighand->siglock);
do_schedule_next_timer(info);
spin_lock(&tsk->sighand->siglock);
}
Unless tsk == curent, this is absolutely unsafe: nothing prevents tsk from
exiting. If signalfd was passed to another process, do_schedule_next_timer()
is just wrong.
Add yet another "tsk == current" check into dequeue_signal().
This patch fixes an oopsable bug, but breaks the scheduling of posix timers
if the shared __SI_TIMER signal was fetched via signalfd attached to another
sub-thread. Mostly fixed by the next patch.

sys_timer_create() sets ->it_process and unlocks ->siglock, then checks
tmr->it_sigev_notify to define if get_task_struct() is needed.
We already passed ->it_id to the caller, another thread can delete this timer
and free its memory in between.
As a minimal fix, move this code under ->siglock, sys_timer_delete() takes it
too before calling release_posix_timer(). A proper serialization would be to
take ->it_lock, we add a partly initialized timer on posix_timers_id, not
good.

timer_delete does:
lock_timer();
timer->it_process = NULL;
unlock_timer();
release_posix_timer();
timer->it_process is checked in lock_timer() to prevent access to a
timer, which is on the way to be deleted, but the check happens after
idr_lock is dropped. This allows release_posix_timer() to delete the
timer before the lock code can check the timer:
CPU 0 CPU 1
lock_timer();
timer->it_process = NULL;
unlock_timer();
lock_timer()
spin_lock(idr_lock);
timer = idr_find();
spin_lock(timer->lock);
spin_unlock(idr_lock);
release_posix_timer();
spin_lock(idr_lock);
idr_remove(timer);
spin_unlock(idr_lock);
free_timer(timer);
if (timer->......)

gcc-4.2 is a lot more picky about its symbol handling. EXPORT_SYMBOL no
longer works on symbols that are undefined or defined with static scope.
For example, with CONFIG_PROFILE off, I see:
kernel/profile.c:206: error: __ksymtab_profile_event_unregister causes a section type conflict
kernel/profile.c:205: error: __ksymtab_profile_event_register causes a section type conflict
This patch moves the EXPORTs inside the #ifdef CONFIG_PROFILE, so we
only try to export symbols that are defined.
Also, in kernel/kprobes.c there's an EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() for
jprobes_return, which if CONFIG_JPROBES is undefined is a static
inline and gives the same error.
And in drivers/acpi/resources/rsxface.c, there's an
ACPI_EXPORT_SYMBOPL() for a static symbol. If it's static, it's not
accessible from outside the compilation unit, so should bot be exported.
These three changes allow building a zx1_defconfig kernel with gcc 4.2
on IA64.
