Introduce nohz_flags in the struct rq, which will track these two flags for now. NOHZ_TICK_STOPPED keeps track of the tick stopped status that gets set when the tick is stopped. It will be used to update the nohz idle load balancer data structures during the first busy tick after the tick is restarted. At this first busy tick after tickless idle, NOHZ_TICK_STOPPED flag will be reset. This will minimize the nohz idle load balancer status updates that currently happen for every tickless exit, making it more scalable when there are many logical cpu's that enter and exit idle often. NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK will track the need for nohz idle load balance on this rq. This will replace the nohz_balance_kick in the rq, which was not being updated atomically. Signed-off-by:

For the SD_OVERLAP domain, sched_groups for each CPU's sched_domain are privately allocated and not shared with any other cpu. So the sched group allocation should come from the cpu's node for which SD_OVERLAP sched domain is being setup. Signed-off-by:

Instead of going through the scheduler domain hierarchy multiple times (for giving priority to an idle core over an idle SMT sibling in a busy core), start with the highest scheduler domain with the SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES flag and traverse the domain hierarchy down till we find an idle group. This cleanup also addresses an issue reported by Mike where the recent changes returned the busy thread even in the presence of an idle SMT sibling in single socket platforms. Signed-off-by:

In UP systems, the idle task is initialized using the init_task structure from which the command name is taken (currently "swapper"). In SMP systems, one idle task per CPU is forked by the worker thread from which the task structure is copied. The command name is, therefore, "kworker/0:0" or "kworker/0:1", if not updated. Since such update was lacking, all idle tasks in SMP systems were incorrectly named. This longtime bug was not discovered immediately, because there is no /proc/0 entry - the bug only becomes apparent when tracing is enabled. This patch sets the command name of the idle tasks in SMP systems to the name that is used in the INIT_TASK structure suffixed by a slash and the number of the CPU. Signed-off-by:

* git://github.com/rustyrussell/linux: virtio-pci: fix use after free
-
Michael S. Tsirkin authored
Commit 31a3ddda introduced a use after free in virtio-pci. The main issue is that the release method signals removal of the virtio device, while remove signals removal of the pci device. For example, on driver removal or hot-unplug, virtio_pci_release_dev is called before virtio_pci_remove. We then might get a crash as virtio_pci_remove tries to use the device freed by virtio_pci_release_dev. We allocate/free all resources together with the pci device, so we can leave the release method empty. Signed-off-by:

After commit e978aa7d ("cpuidle: Move dev->last_residency update to driver enter routine; remove dev->last_state") setting acpi_idle_suspend to 1 by acpi_processor_suspend() causes the ACPI cpuidle routines to return error codes continuously, which in turn causes cpuidle to lock up (hard). However, acpi_idle_suspend doesn't appear to be useful for any particular purpose (it's racy and doesn't really provide any real protection), so it can be removed, which makes the problem go away.

Real world year equals the value in vrtc YEAR register plus an offset. We used 1960 as the offset to make leap year consistent, but for a device's first use, its YEAR register is 0 and the system year will be parsed as 1960 which is not a valid UNIX time and will cause many applications to fail mysteriously. So we use 1972 instead to fix this issue. Updated patch which adds a sanity check suggested by Mathias This isn't a change in behaviour for systems, because 1972 is the one we actually use. It's the old version in upstream which is out of sync with all devices. Signed-off-by:
