0b3dae68ac workqueue: simplify is-work-item-queued-here test
Currently, determining whether a work item is queued on a locked pool
involves somewhat convoluted memory barrier dancing.  It goes like the
following.

* When a work item is queued on a pool, work->data is updated before
  work->entry is linked to the pending list with a wmb() inbetween.

* When trying to determine whether a work item is currently queued on
  a pool pointed to by work->data, it locks the pool and looks at
  work->entry.  If work->entry is linked, we then do rmb() and then
  check whether work->data points to the current pool.

This works because, work->data can only point to a pool if it
currently is or were on the pool and,

* If it currently is on the pool, the tests would obviously succeed.

* It it left the pool, its work->entry was cleared under pool->lock,
  so if we're seeing non-empty work->entry, it has to be from the work
  item being linked on another pool.  Because work->data is updated
  before work->entry is linked with wmb() inbetween, work->data update
  from another pool is guaranteed to be visible if we do rmb() after
  seeing non-empty work->entry.  So, we either see empty work->entry
  or we see updated work->data pointin to another pool.

While this works, it's convoluted, to put it mildly.  With recent
updates, it's now guaranteed that work->data points to cwq only while
the work item is queued and that updating work->data to point to cwq
or back to pool is done under pool->lock, so we can simply test
whether work->data points to cwq which is associated with the
currently locked pool instead of the convoluted memory barrier
dancing.

This patch replaces the memory barrier based "are you still here,
really?" test with much simpler "does work->data points to me?" test -
if work->data points to a cwq which is associated with the currently
locked pool, the work item is guaranteed to be queued on the pool as
work->data can start and stop pointing to such cwq only under
pool->lock and the start and stop coincide with queue and dequeue.

4468a00fd9 workqueue: make work->data point to pool after try_to_grab_pending()
We plan to use work->data pointing to cwq as the synchronization
invariant when determining whether a given work item is on a locked
pool or not, which requires work->data pointing to cwq only while the
work item is queued on the associated pool.

With delayed_work updated not to overload work->data for target
workqueue recording, the only case where we still have off-queue
work->data pointing to cwq is try_to_grab_pending() which doesn't
update work->data after stealing a queued work item.  There's no
reason for try_to_grab_pending() to not update work->data to point to
the pool instead of cwq, like the normal execution does.

This patch adds set_work_pool_and_keep_pending() which makes
work->data point to pool instead of cwq but keeps the pending bit
unlike set_work_pool_and_clear_pending() (surprise!).

After this patch, it's guaranteed that only queued work items point to
cwqs.

This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior change.

tj: Renamed the new helper function to match
    set_work_pool_and_clear_pending() and rewrote the description.

60c057bca2 workqueue: add delayed_work->wq to simplify reentrancy handling
To avoid executing the same work item from multiple CPUs concurrently,
a work_struct records the last pool it was on in its ->data so that,
on the next queueing, the pool can be queried to determine whether the
work item is still executing or not.

A delayed_work goes through timer before actually being queued on the
target workqueue and the timer needs to know the target workqueue and
CPU.  This is currently achieved by modifying delayed_work->work.data
such that it points to the cwq which points to the target workqueue
and the last CPU the work item was on.  __queue_delayed_work()
extracts the last CPU from delayed_work->work.data and then combines
it with the target workqueue to create new work.data.

The only thing this rather ugly hack achieves is encoding the target
workqueue into delayed_work->work.data without using a separate field,
which could be a trade off one can make; unfortunately, this entangles
work->data management between regular workqueue and delayed_work code
by setting cwq pointer before the work item is actually queued and
becomes a hindrance for further improvements of work->data handling.

This can be easily made sane by adding a target workqueue field to
delayed_work.  While delayed_work is used widely in the kernel and
this does make it a bit larger (<5%), I think this is the right
trade-off especially given the prospect of much saner handling of
work->data which currently involves quite tricky memory barrier
dancing, and don't expect to see any measureable effect.

Add delayed_work->wq and drop the delayed_work->work.data overloading.

038366c5cf workqueue: make work_busy() test WORK_STRUCT_PENDING first
Currently, work_busy() first tests whether the work has a pool
associated with it and if not, considers it idle.  This works fine
even for delayed_work.work queued on timer, as __queue_delayed_work()
sets cwq on delayed_work.work - a queued delayed_work always has its
cwq and thus pool associated with it.

However, we're about to update delayed_work queueing and this won't
hold.  Update work_busy() such that it tests WORK_STRUCT_PENDING
before the associated pool.  This doesn't make any noticeable behavior
difference now.

With work_pending() test moved, the function read a lot better with
"if (!pool)" test flipped to positive.  Flip it.

While at it, lose the comment about now non-existent reentrant
workqueues.

6be195886a workqueue: replace WORK_CPU_NONE/LAST with WORK_CPU_END
Now that workqueue has moved away from gcwqs, workqueue no longer has
the need to have a CPU identifier indicating "no cpu associated" - we
now use WORK_OFFQ_POOL_NONE instead - and most uses of WORK_CPU_NONE
are gone.

The only left usage is as the end marker for for_each_*wq*()
iterators, where the name WORK_CPU_NONE is confusing w/o actual
WORK_CPU_NONE usages.  Similarly, WORK_CPU_LAST which equals
WORK_CPU_NONE no longer makes sense.

Replace both WORK_CPU_NONE and LAST with WORK_CPU_END.  This patch
doesn't introduce any functional difference.

b2c77a57e4 This implements the cputime accounting on full dynticks CPUs.
Typical cputime stats infrastructure relies on the timer tick and
 its periodic polling on the CPU to account the amount of time
 spent by the CPUs and the tasks per high level domains such as
 userspace, kernelspace, guest, ...
 
 Now we are preparing to implement full dynticks capability on
 Linux for Real Time and HPC users who want full CPU isolation.
 This feature requires a cputime accounting that doesn't depend
 on the timer tick.
 
 To implement it, this new cputime infrastructure plugs into
 kernel/user/guest boundaries to take snapshots of cputime and
 flush these to the stats when needed. This performs pretty
 much like CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING except that context location
 and cputime snaphots are synchronized between write and read
 side such that the latter can safely retrieve the pending tickless
 cputime of a task and add it to its latest cputime snapshot to
 return the correct result to the user.

b22affe0ae hrtimer: Prevent hrtimer_enqueue_reprogram race
hrtimer_enqueue_reprogram contains a race which could result in
timer.base switch during unlock/lock sequence.

hrtimer_enqueue_reprogram is releasing the lock protecting the timer
base for calling raise_softirq_irqsoff() due to a lock ordering issue
versus rq->lock.

If during that time another CPU calls __hrtimer_start_range_ns() on
the same hrtimer, the timer base might switch, before the current CPU
can lock base->lock again and therefor the unlock_timer_base() call
will unlock the wrong lock.

need it are alpha and sparc.  The reason for use of CONFIG_...
instead of __ARCH_... is that it's needed only kernel-side
and doing it that way avoids a mess with include order on many
architectures.

60334caf37 sched/rt: Further simplify pick_rt_task()
Function next_prio() has been removed and pull_rt_task() is the
only user of pick_next_highest_task_rt() at the moment.

pull_rt_task is not interested in p->nr_cpus_allowed, its only
interest is the fact that cpu is allowed to execute p. If
nr_cpus_allowed == 1, cpu != task_cpu(p) and cpu is allowed then
it means that task p is in the middle of the migration
techniques; the task waits until it is moved by migration
thread. So, lets pull it earlier.

0231bb5336 perf: Fix event group context move
When we have group with mixed events (hw/sw) we want to end up
with group leader being in hw context. So if group leader is
initialy sw event, we move all the events under hw context.

The move is done for each event by removing it from its context
and adding it back into proper one. As a part of the removal the
event is automatically disabled, which is not what we want at
this stage of creating groups.

The fix is to initialize event state after removal from sw
context.

This fix resulted from the following discussion:

d840f718d2 tracing: Init current_trace to nop_trace and remove NULL checks
On early boot up, when the ftrace ring buffer is initialized, the
static variable current_trace is initialized to &nop_trace.
Before this initialization, current_trace is NULL and will never
become NULL again. It is always reassigned to a ftrace tracer.

Several places check if current_trace is NULL before it uses
it, and this check is frivolous, because at the point in time
when the checks are made the only way current_trace could be
NULL is if ftrace failed its allocations at boot up, and the
paths to these locations would probably not be possible.

By initializing current_trace to &nop_trace where it is declared,
current_trace will never be NULL, and we can remove all these
checks of current_trace being NULL which never needed to be
checked in the first place.

12ad100046 clockevents: Add generic timer broadcast function
Currently, the timer broadcast mechanism is defined by a function
pointer on struct clock_event_device. As the fundamental mechanism for
broadcast is architecture-specific, this means that clock_event_device
drivers cannot be shared across multiple architectures.

This patch adds an (optional) architecture-specific function for timer
tick broadcast, allowing drivers which may require broadcast
functionality to be shared across multiple architectures.

12572dbb53 clockevents: Add generic timer broadcast receiver
Currently the broadcast mechanism used for timers is abstracted by a
function pointer on struct clock_event_device. As the fundamental
mechanism for broadcast is architecture-specific, this ties each
clock_event_device driver to a single architecture, even where the
driver is otherwise generic.

This patch adds a standard path for the receipt of timer broadcasts, so
drivers and/or architecture backends need not manage redundant lists of
timers for the purpose of routing broadcast timer ticks.

[tglx: Made the implementation depend on the config switch as well ]

fc79e240be sched/rt: Do not account zero delta_exec in update_curr_rt()
There are several places of consecutive calls of
dequeue_task_rt() and put_prev_task_rt() in the scheduler.
For example, function rt_mutex_setprio() does it.

The both calls lead to update_curr_rt(), the second of it
receives zeroed delta_exec. The only effective action in this
case is call of sched_rt_avg_update(), which can change
rq->age_stamp and rq->rt_avg. But it is possible in case of
""floating"" rq->clock. This fact is not reasonable to be
accounted. Another actions do nothing.

debdd57f51 tracing: Make a snapshot feature available from userspace
Ftrace has a snapshot feature available from kernel space and
latency tracers (e.g. irqsoff) are using it. This patch enables
user applictions to take a snapshot via debugfs.

Add "snapshot" debugfs file in "tracing" directory.

  snapshot:
    This is used to take a snapshot and to read the output of the
    snapshot.

     # echo 1 > snapshot

    This will allocate the spare buffer for snapshot (if it is
    not allocated), and take a snapshot.

     # cat snapshot

    This will show contents of the snapshot.

     # echo 0 > snapshot

    This will free the snapshot if it is allocated.

    Any other positive values will clear the snapshot contents if
    the snapshot is allocated, or return EINVAL if it is not allocated.

2fd196ec1e tracing: Replace static old_tracer check of tracer name
Currently the trace buffer read functions use a static variable
"old_tracer" for detecting if the current tracer changes. This
was suitable for a single trace file ("trace"), but to add a
snapshot feature that will use the same function for its file,
a check against a static variable is not sufficient.

To use the output functions for two different files, instead of
storing the current tracer in a static variable, as the trace
iterator descriptor contains a pointer to the original current
tracer's name, that pointer can now be used to check if the
current tracer has changed between different reads of the trace
file.

For systems with an unstable sched_clock, all cpu_clock() does is enable/
disable local irq during the call to sched_clock_cpu().  And for stable
systems they are same.

trace_clock_global() already disables interrupts, so it can call
sched_clock_cpu() directly.
