402b08622d s390: KVM preparation: provide hook to enable pgstes in user pagetable
The SIE instruction on s390 uses the 2nd half of the page table page to
virtualize the storage keys of a guest. This patch offers the s390_enable_sie
function, which reorganizes the page tables of a single-threaded process to
reserve space in the page table:
s390_enable_sie makes sure that the process is single threaded and then uses
dup_mm to create a new mm with reorganized page tables. The old mm is freed
and the process has now a page status extended field after every page table.

Code that wants to exploit pgstes should SELECT CONFIG_PGSTE.

This patch has a small common code hit, namely making dup_mm non-static.

Edit (Carsten): I've modified Martin's patch, following Jeremy Fitzhardinge's
review feedback. Now we do have the prototype for dup_mm in
include/linux/sched.h. Following Martin's suggestion, s390_enable_sie() does now
call task_lock() to prevent race against ptrace modification of mm_users.

3b1253880b [PATCH] sanitize unshare_files/reset_files_struct
* let unshare_files() give caller the displaced files_struct
* don't bother with grabbing reference only to drop it in the
  caller if it hadn't been shared in the first place
* in that form unshare_files() is trivially implemented via
  unshare_fd(), so we eliminate the duplicate logics in fork.c
* reset_files_struct() is not just only called for current;
  it will break the system if somebody ever calls it for anything
  else (we can't modify ->files of somebody else).  Lose the
  task_struct * argument.

fd8328be87 [PATCH] sanitize handling of shared descriptor tables in failing execve()
* unshare_files() can fail; doing it after irreversible actions is wrong
  and de_thread() is certainly irreversible.
* since we do it unconditionally anyway, we might as well do it in do_execve()
  and save ourselves the PITA in binfmt handlers, etc.
* while we are at it, binfmt_som actually leaked files_struct on failure.

As a side benefit, unshare_files(), put_files_struct() and reset_files_struct()
become unexported.

3f5087a2ba sched: fix share (re)distribution
fix __aggregate_redistribute_shares() related lockup reported by
David S. Miller.

The problem this code tries to solve is 'accurately' calculating the 'fair'
share of the group weight for each cpu. The current code falls back to a global
group rebalance in case the sched_domain's span it looks at has no shares, but
does have tasks.

The reason it gets stuck here, is because its inherently racy - if someone
steals the last task after we compute the agg->rq_weight, but before we
rebalance, we'll never get out of the loop.

We could of course go fix that, but while looking at this issue I found that
this 'fallback' wasn't nearly as rare as I'd hoped it to be. In fact its quite
common - and given it walks the whole machine, thats very bad.

The new approach is simple (why didn't I think of it before?), we set the
aggregate shares to the full task group weight, and each larger sched domain
that encounters an aggregate shares larger than the weight, clips it (it
already re-distributes anyway).

This nicely converges to the desired global picture where the sum of all
shares equals the task group weight.

It's simple enough to trigger this by doing a 10 minute sleep after a
fresh bootup then starting a parallel kernel build.

I suspect this might be reintroducing a problem we've had and fixed
before, see the thread:

e16b278164 ptrace: compat_ptrace_request siginfo
This adds support for PTRACE_GETSIGINFO and PTRACE_SETSIGINFO in
compat_ptrace_request.  It relies on existing arch definitions for
copy_siginfo_to_user32 and copy_siginfo_from_user32.

On powerpc, this fixes a longstanding regression of 32-bit ptrace
calls on 64-bit kernels vs native calls (64-bit calls or 32-bit
kernels).  This can be seen in a 32-bit call using PTRACE_GETSIGINFO
to examine e.g. siginfo_t.si_addr from a signal that sets it.
(This was broken as of 2.6.24 and, I presume, many or all prior versions.)

833883d9ac hrtimer: reduce calls to hrtimer_get_softirq_time()
It seems that hrtimer_run_queues() is calling hrtimer_get_softirq_time() more
often than it needs to.  This can cause frequent contention on systems with
large numbers of processors/cores.

With this patch, hrtimer_run_queues only calls hrtimer_get_softirq_time() if
there is a pending timer in one of the hrtimer bases, and only once.

This also combines hrtimer_run_queues() and the inline run_hrtimer_queue()
into one function.

8f1bc385cf sched: fair: weight calculations
In order to level the hierarchy, we need to calculate load based on the
root view. That is, each task's load is in the same unit.

             A
            / \
           B   1
          / \
         2   3

To compute 1's load we do:

	   weight(1)
	--------------
	 rq_weight(A)

To compute 2's load we do:

	  weight(2)      weight(B)
	------------ * -----------
	rq_weight(B)   rw_weight(A)

This yields load fractions in comparable units.

The consequence is that it changes virtual time. We used to have:

                time_{i}
  vtime_{i} = ------------
               weight_{i}

  vtime = \Sum vtime_{i} = time / rq_weight.

But with the new way of load calculation we get that vtime equals time.

18d95a2832 sched: fair-group: SMP-nice for group scheduling
Implement SMP nice support for the full group hierarchy.

On each load-balance action, compile a sched_domain wide view of the full
task_group tree. We compute the domain wide view when walking down the
hierarchy, and readjust the weights when walking back up.

After collecting and readjusting the domain wide view, we try to balance the
tasks within the task_groups. The current approach is a naively balance each
task group until we've moved the targeted amount of load.

Inspired by Srivatsa Vaddsgiri's previous code and Abhishek Chandra's H-SMP
paper.

XXX: there will be some numerical issues due to the limited nature of
     SCHED_LOAD_SCALE wrt to representing a task_groups influence on the
     total weight. When the tree is deep enough, or the task weight small
     enough, we'll run out of bits.

 - Modify partition_sched_domains() and build_sched_domains()
   to take attributes parameter passed from cpuset.

 - Fill newidle_idx for node domains which currently unused but
   might be required if sched_relax_domain_level become higher.

 - We can change the default level by boot option 'relax_domain_level='.

cd8ba7cd9b sched: add new set_cpus_allowed_ptr function
Add a new function that accepts a pointer to the "newly allowed cpus"
cpumask argument.

int set_cpus_allowed_ptr(struct task_struct *p, const cpumask_t *new_mask)

The current set_cpus_allowed() function is modified to use the above
but this does not result in an ABI change.  And with some compiler
optimization help, it may not introduce any additional overhead.

Additionally, to enforce the read only nature of the new_mask arg, the
"const" property is migrated to sub-functions called by set_cpus_allowed.
This silences compiler warnings.
