remove PREEMPT_RESTRICT. (this is a separate commit so that any regression related to the removal itself is bisectable) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Ingo Molnar authored
PREEMPT_RESTRICT was a method aimed at reducing the amount of wakeup related preemption. It has a disadvantage though, it can prevent legitimate wakeups if a task is 'unlucky' to be hit too early by a tick that clears peer_preempt. Now that the wakeup preemption has been cleaned up we dont seem to have excessive preemptions anymore, so this feature can be turned off. (and removed in the next patch) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

fix a !SMP build error: drivers/kvm/kvm_main.c: In function 'kvm_flush_remote_tlbs': drivers/kvm/kvm_main.c:220: error: implicit declaration of function 'smp_call_function_mask' (and also avoid unused function warning related to up_smp_call_function() not making use of the 'func' parameter.)

1) hardcoded 1000000000 value is used five times in places where NSEC_PER_SEC might be more readable. 2) A conversion from nsec to msec uses the hardcoded 1000000 value, which is a candidate for NSEC_PER_MSEC. no code changed: text data bss dec hex filename 44359 3326 36 47721 ba69 sched.o.before 44359 3326 36 47721 ba69 sched.o.after Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Yanmin Zhang reported an aim7 regression and bisected it down to: | commit 38ad464d | Author: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> | Date: Mon Oct 15 17:00:02 2007 +0200 | | sched: uniform tunings | | use the same defaults on both UP and SMP. fix this by reintroducing similar SMP tunings again. This resolves the regression. (also update the comments to match the ilog2(nr_cpus) tuning effect) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Since powerpc started using CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, the deterministic CPU accounting (CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING) has been broken on powerpc, because we end up counting user time twice: once in timer_interrupt() and once in update_process_times(). This fixes the problem by pulling the code in update_process_times that updates utime and stime into a separate function called account_process_tick. If CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is not defined, there is a version of account_process_tick in kernel/timer.c that simply accounts a whole tick to either utime or stime as before. If CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is defined, then arch code gets to implement account_process_tick. This also lets us simplify the s390 code a bit; it means that the s390 timer interrupt can now call update_process_times even when CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is turned on, and can just implement a suitable account_process_tick(). account_process_tick() now takes the task_struct * as an argument. Tested both with and without CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Fix the delay accounting regression introduced by commit 75d4ef16. rq no longer has sched_info data associated with it. task_struct sched_info structure is used by delay accounting to provide back statistics to user space. also remove direct use of sched_clock() (which is not a valid thing to do anymore) and use rq->clock instead.

we lost the sched_min_granularity tunable to a clever optimization that uses the sched_latency/min_granularity ratio - but the ratio is quite unintuitive to users and can also crash the kernel if the ratio is set to 0. So reintroduce the min_granularity tunable, while keeping the ratio maintained internally. no functionality changed.

v9fs_parse_options function uses strsep which modifies the value of the v9ses->options field. That modified value is later passed to the function that creates the transport potentially making the transport creation function to fail. This patch creates a copy of v9ses->option field that v9fs_parse_options function uses instead of the original value.
