      sched: Optimize unused cgroup configuration · e7097159
      Peter Zijlstra authored 
      When cgroup group scheduling is built in, skip some code paths
if we don't have any (but the root) cgroups configured.

      sched: Fix cgroup smp fairness · a5004278
      Peter Zijlstra authored 
      Commit ec4e0e2f ("fix
inconsistency when redistribute per-cpu tg->cfs_rq shares")
broke cgroup smp fairness.

In order to avoid starvation of newly placed tasks, we never
quite set the share of an empty cpu group-task to 0, but
instead we set it as if there's a single NICE-0 task present.

If however we actually set this in cfs_rq[cpu]->shares, that
means the total shares for that group will be slightly inflated
every time we balance, causing the observed unfairness.

Fix this by setting cfs_rq[cpu]->shares to 0 but actually
setting the effective weight of the related se to the inflated
number.

      sched: Fix race in cpupri introduced by cpumask_var changes · 07903af1
      Gregory Haskins authored 
      Background:

Several race conditions in the scheduler have cropped up
recently, which Steven and I have tracked down using ftrace.
The most recent one turns out to be a race in how the scheduler
determines a suitable migration target for RT tasks, introduced
recently with commit:

    commit 68e74568
    Date:   Tue Nov 25 02:35:13 2008 +1030

        sched: convert struct cpupri_vec cpumask_var_t.

The original design of cpupri allowed lockless readers to
quickly determine a best-estimate target.  Races between the
pri_active bitmap and the vec->mask were handled in the
original code because we would detect and return "0" when this
occured.  The design was predicated on the *effective*
atomicity (*) of caching the result of cpus_and() between the
cpus_allowed and the vec->mask.

Commit 68e74568 changed the behavior such that vec->mask is
accessed multiple times.  This introduces a subtle race, the
result of which means we can have a result that returns "1",
but with an empty bitmap.

*) yes, we know cpus_and() is not a locked operator across the
   entire composite array, but it is implicitly atomic on a
   per-word basis which is all the design required to work.

Implementation:

Rather than forgoing the lockless design, or reverting to a
stack-based cpumask_t, we simply check for when the race has
been encountered and continue processing in the event that the
race is hit.  This renders the removal race as if the priority
bit had been atomically cleared as well, and allows the
algorithm to execute correctly.

      sched: Fix latencytop and sleep profiling vs group scheduling · e414314c
      Peter Zijlstra authored 
      The latencytop and sleep accounting code assumes that any
scheduler entity represents a task, this is not so.

      sched: Fix cond_resched_lock() in !CONFIG_PREEMPT · 716a4234
      Frederic Weisbecker authored 
      The might_sleep() test inside cond_resched_lock() assumes the
spinlock is held and then preemption is disabled. This is true
with CONFIG_PREEMPT but the preempt_count() doesn't change
otherwise.

Check by starting from the appropriate preempt offset depending
on the config.
