This adds a general mechanism whereby a task can request the scheduler to
notify it whenever it is preempted or scheduled back in.  This allows the
task to swap any special-purpose registers like the fpu or Intel's VT

increase SCHED_LOAD_SCALE_FUZZ that adds a small amount of
over-balancing: to help distribute CPU-bound tasks more fairly on SMP
systems.

the problem of unfair balancing was noticed and reported by Tong N Li.

10 CPU-bound tasks running on 8 CPUs, v2.6.23-rc1:

The Xtensa architecture places literal pools in sections separate
from the instructions. The corresponsing text sections, therefore,
reference the .literal section, and we have to suppress those
warnings.

The naming convention defines the name for a literal
section as .SECTION.literal, unless .SECTION is .text. In that case
the name is only .literal. Using strncmp() instead of strcmp()
to compare the from-section with .SECTION.init.refok in pattern 0
should not cause any regressions for other architectures.

We also need to suppress warnings for two informational
sections (.xt.lit and .xt.prop) used by the Xtensa architecture.

For APM calls, BX contains the device index, which is zero for
the system BIOS.  Disconnect requres BX = 0.
Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

Starting with kernel 2.6.23-rc1, the i386 APM driver fails
on several of my machines with the message:

apm: BIOS not found

This happens because of a bug in the i386 boot code rewrite
from assembler to C. The original assembly code had the
following code in its APM BIOS presence test (boot/setup.S):

	andw	$0x02, %cx			# Is 32 bit supported?
	je	done_apm_bios			# No 32-bit, no (good) APM BIOS

That is, the code bails out if bit 2 is zero.

In the new C version, this is coded as (boot/apm.c):

	if (cx & 0x02)		/* 32 bits supported? */
		return -1;

Here we see that the test has been accidentally inverted.

The fix is to negate the test. I've verified that this
allows the APM driver to work again on my affected machines.

This avoids xtime lag seen with dynticks, because while 'xtime' itself
is still not updated often, we keep a 'xtime_cache' variable around that
contains the approximate real-time that _is_ updated each time we do a
'update_wall_time()', and is thus never off by more than one tick.

IOW, this restores the original semantics for 'xtime' users, as long as
you use the proper abstraction functions (ie 'current_kernel_time()' or
'get_seconds()' depending on whether you want a timespec or just the
seconds field).

This avoids use of the kernel-internal "xtime" variable directly outside
of the actual time-related functions.  Instead, use the helper functions
that we already have available to us.

This doesn't actually change any behaviour, but this will allow us to
fix the fact that "xtime" isn't updated very often with CONFIG_NO_HZ
(because much of the realtime information is maintained as separate
offsets to 'xtime'), which has caused interfaces that use xtime directly
to get a time that is out of sync with the real-time clock by up to a
third of a second or so.
