d5811e8731 drm/radeon/kms: don't try to be smart in the hpd handler
Attempting to try and turn off disconnected display hw in the
hotput handler lead to more problems than it helped.  For
now just register an event and only attempt the do something
interesting with DP.  Other connectors are just too problematic:
- Some systems have an HPD pin assigned to LVDS, but it's rarely
if ever connected properly and we don't really care about hpd
events on LVDS anyway since it's always connected.
- The HPD pin is wired up correctly for eDP, but we don't really
have to do anything since the events since it's always connected.
- Some HPD pins fire more than once when you connect/disconnect
- etc.

2e61027079 ALSA: hdspm - Enable 32 samples/period on RME RayDAT/AIO
Newer RME cards like RayDAT and AIO support 32 samples per period. This
value is encoded as {1,1,1} in the HDSP_LatencyMask bits in the control
register.

Since {1,1,1} is also the representation for 8192 samples/period on
older RME cards, we have to special case 32 samples and 32768 bytes
according to the actual card.

7cb155ff3e ALSA: hdspm - Introduce hdspm_get_latency() to harmonize latency calculation
Currently, hdspm_decode_latency is called several times, violating the
DRY principle. Given that we need to distinguish between old and new
cards when decoding the latency bits in the control register, introduce
hdspm_get_latency() to provide the required functionality.

1ad5972f71 ALSA: hdspm - Reorder period sizes according to their bit representation
On newer RME cards like RayDAT and AIO, the 8192 samples per period size
are no longer supported. Instead, setting all three bits of
HDSP_LatencyMask to one ({1,1,1}) now corresponds to 32 samples per
period.

To make this more obvious to future developers, let's reorder the array
according to their bit representation, starting at 64 ({0,0,0}) up to
4096 ({1,1,0}) and finally 32 ({1,1,1}).

Note that this patch doesn't change semantics.

e22a539824 lguest: allow booting guest with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y
The CONFIG_RELOCATABLE code tries to align the unpack destination to
the value of 'kernel_alignment' in the setup_hdr.  If that's 0, it
tries to unpack to address 0, which in fact causes the gunzip code
to call 'error("Out of memory while allocating output buffer")'.

The bootloader (ie. the lguest Launcher in this case) should be doing
setting this field; the normal bzImage is 16M, we can use the same.

f982f91516 mm: fix wrong vmap address calculations with odd NR_CPUS values
Commit db64fe0225 ("mm: rewrite vmap layer") introduced code that does
address calculations under the assumption that VMAP_BLOCK_SIZE is a
power of two.  However, this might not be true if CONFIG_NR_CPUS is not
set to a power of two.

Wrong vmap_block index/offset values could lead to memory corruption.
However, this has never been observed in practice (or never been
diagnosed correctly); what caught this was the BUG_ON in vb_alloc() that
checks for inconsistent vmap_block indices.

To fix this, ensure that VMAP_BLOCK_SIZE always is a power of two.

da6094ea7d ALSA: snd_usb_caiaq: track submitted output urbs
The snd_usb_caiaq driver currently assumes that output urbs are serviced
in time and doesn't track when and whether they are given back by the
USB core. That usually works fine, but due to temporary limitations of
the XHCI stack, we faced that urbs were submitted more than once with
this approach.

As it's no good practice to fire and forget urbs anyway, this patch
introduces a proper bit mask to track which requests have been submitted
and given back.

That alone however doesn't make the driver work in case the host
controller is broken and doesn't give back urbs at all, and the output
stream will stop once all pre-allocated output urbs are consumed. But
it does prevent crashes of the controller stack in such cases.

See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40702 for more details.

311aab73d2 PM / Runtime: Add might_sleep() to runtime PM functions
Some of the entry points to pm runtime are not safe to
call in atomic context unless pm_runtime_irq_safe() has
been called.  Inspecting the code, it is not immediately
obvious that the functions sleep at all, as they run
inside a spin_lock_irqsave, but under some conditions
they can drop the lock and turn on irqs.

If a driver incorrectly calls the pm_runtime apis, it can
cause sleeping and irq processing when it expects to stay
in atomic context.

Add might_sleep_if to the majority of the __pm_runtime_* entry points
to enforce correct usage.

Add pm_runtime_put_sync_autosuspend to the list of
functions that can be called in atomic context.

d8b4986d3d sched: Return unused runtime on group dequeue
When a local cfs_rq blocks we return the majority of its remaining quota to the
global bandwidth pool for use by other runqueues.

We do this only when the quota is current and there is more than
min_cfs_rq_quota [1ms by default] of runtime remaining on the rq.

In the case where there are throttled runqueues and we have sufficient
bandwidth to meter out a slice, a second timer is kicked off to handle this
delivery, unthrottling where appropriate.

Using a 'worst case' antagonist which executes on each cpu
for 1ms before moving onto the next on a fairly large machine:

no quota generations:

 197.47 ms       /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage
 199.46 ms       /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage
 205.46 ms       /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage
 198.46 ms       /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage
 208.39 ms       /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage

Since we are allowed to use "stale" quota our usage is effectively bounded by
the rate of input into the global pool and performance is relatively stable.

with quota generations [1s increments]:

 119.58 ms       /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage
 119.65 ms       /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage
 119.64 ms       /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage
 119.63 ms       /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage
 119.60 ms       /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage

The large deficit here is due to quota generations (/intentionally/) preventing
us from now using previously stranded slack quota.  The cost is that this quota
becomes unavailable.

with quota generations and quota return:

 200.09 ms       /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage
 200.09 ms       /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage
 198.09 ms       /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage
 200.09 ms       /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage
 200.06 ms       /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage

By returning unused quota we're able to both stably consume our desired quota
and prevent unintentional overages due to the abuse of slack quota from
previous quota periods (especially on a large machine).

d3d9dc3302 sched: Throttle entities exceeding their allowed bandwidth
With the machinery in place to throttle and unthrottle entities, as well as
handle their participation (or lack there of) we can now enable throttling.

There are 2 points that we must check whether it's time to set throttled state:
 put_prev_entity() and enqueue_entity().

- put_prev_entity() is the typical throttle path, we reach it by exceeding our
  allocated run-time within update_curr()->account_cfs_rq_runtime() and going
  through a reschedule.

- enqueue_entity() covers the case of a wake-up into an already throttled
  group.  In this case we know the group cannot be on_rq and can throttle
  immediately.  Checks are added at time of put_prev_entity() and
  enqueue_entity()

8cb120d3e4 sched: Migrate throttled tasks on HOTPLUG
Throttled tasks are invisisble to cpu-offline since they are not eligible for
selection by pick_next_task().  The regular 'escape' path for a thread that is
blocked at offline is via ttwu->select_task_rq, however this will not handle a
throttled group since there are no individual thread wakeups on an unthrottle.

Resolve this by unthrottling offline cpus so that threads can be migrated.

5238cdd387 sched: Prevent buddy interactions with throttled entities
Buddies allow us to select "on-rq" entities without actually selecting them
from a cfs_rq's rb_tree.  As a result we must ensure that throttled entities
are not falsely nominated as buddies.  The fact that entities are dequeued
within throttle_entity is not sufficient for clearing buddy status as the
nomination may occur after throttling.

64660c864f sched: Prevent interactions with throttled entities
From the perspective of load-balance and shares distribution, throttled
entities should be invisible.

However, both of these operations work on 'active' lists and are not
inherently aware of what group hierarchies may be present.  In some cases this
may be side-stepped (e.g. we could sideload via tg_load_down in load balance)
while in others (e.g. update_shares()) it is more difficult to compute without
incurring some O(n^2) costs.

Instead, track hierarchicaal throttled state at time of transition.  This
allows us to easily identify whether an entity belongs to a throttled hierarchy
and avoid incorrect interactions with it.

Also, when an entity leaves a throttled hierarchy we need to advance its
time averaging for shares averaging so that the elapsed throttled time is not
considered as part of the cfs_rq's operation.

We also use this information to prevent buddy interactions in the wakeup and
yield_to() paths.

Now that consumption is tracked (via update_curr()) we add support to throttle
group entities (and their corresponding cfs_rqs) in the case where this is no
run-time remaining.

Throttled entities are dequeued to prevent scheduling, additionally we mark
them as throttled (using cfs_rq->throttled) to prevent them from becoming
re-enqueued until they are unthrottled.  A list of a task_group's throttled
entities are maintained on the cfs_bandwidth structure.

Note: While the machinery for throttling is added in this patch the act of
throttling an entity exceeding its bandwidth is deferred until later within
the series.

a9cf55b286 sched: Expire invalid runtime
Since quota is managed using a global state but consumed on a per-cpu basis
we need to ensure that our per-cpu state is appropriately synchronized.
Most importantly, runtime that is state (from a previous period) should not be
locally consumable.

We take advantage of existing sched_clock synchronization about the jiffy to
efficiently detect whether we have (globally) crossed a quota boundary above.

One catch is that the direction of spread on sched_clock is undefined,
specifically, we don't know whether our local clock is behind or ahead
of the one responsible for the current expiration time.

Fortunately we can differentiate these by considering whether the
global deadline has advanced.  If it has not, then we assume our clock to be
"fast" and advance our local expiration; otherwise, we know the deadline has
truly passed and we expire our local runtime.

Account bandwidth usage on the cfs_rq level versus the task_groups to which
they belong.  Whether we are tracking bandwidth on a given cfs_rq is maintained
under cfs_rq->runtime_enabled.

cfs_rq's which belong to a bandwidth constrained task_group have their runtime
accounted via the update_curr() path, which withdraws bandwidth from the global
pool as desired.  Updates involving the global pool are currently protected
under cfs_bandwidth->lock, local runtime is protected by rq->lock.

ab84d31e15 sched: Introduce primitives to account for CFS bandwidth tracking
In this patch we introduce the notion of CFS bandwidth, partitioned into
globally unassigned bandwidth, and locally claimed bandwidth.

 - The global bandwidth is per task_group, it represents a pool of unclaimed
   bandwidth that cfs_rqs can allocate from.
 - The local bandwidth is tracked per-cfs_rq, this represents allotments from
   the global pool bandwidth assigned to a specific cpu.

Bandwidth is managed via cgroupfs, adding two new interfaces to the cpu subsystem:
 - cpu.cfs_period_us : the bandwidth period in usecs
 - cpu.cfs_quota_us : the cpu bandwidth (in usecs) that this tg will be allowed
   to consume over period above.

953bfcd10e sched: Implement hierarchical task accounting for SCHED_OTHER
Introduce hierarchical task accounting for the group scheduling case in CFS, as
well as promoting the responsibility for maintaining rq->nr_running to the
scheduling classes.

The primary motivation for this is that with scheduling classes supporting
bandwidth throttling it is possible for entities participating in throttled
sub-trees to not have root visible changes in rq->nr_running across activate
and de-activate operations.  This in turn leads to incorrect idle and
weight-per-task load balance decisions.

This also allows us to make a small fixlet to the fastpath in pick_next_task()
under group scheduling.

Note: this issue also exists with the existing sched_rt throttling mechanism.
This patch does not address that.

d473750b40 sched/cpupri: Fix memory barriers for vec updates to always be in order
[ This patch actually compiles. Thanks to Mike Galbraith for pointing
that out. I compiled and booted this patch with no issues. ]

Re-examining the cpupri patch, I see there's a possible race because the
update of the two priorities vec->counts are not protected by a memory
barrier.

When a RT runqueue is overloaded and wants to push an RT task to another
runqueue, it scans the RT priority vectors in a loop from lowest
priority to highest.

When we queue or dequeue an RT task that changes a runqueue's highest
priority task, we update the vectors to show that a runqueue is rated at
a different priority. To do this, we first set the new priority mask,
and increment the vec->count, and then set the old priority mask by
decrementing the vec->count.

If we are lowering the runqueue's RT priority rating, it will trigger a
RT pull, and we do not care if we miss pushing to this runqueue or not.

But if we raise the priority, but the priority is still lower than an RT
task that is looking to be pushed, we must make sure that this runqueue
is still seen by the push algorithm (the loop).

Because the loop reads from lowest to highest, and the new priority is
set before the old one is cleared, we will either see the new or old
priority set and the vector will be checked.

But! Since there's no memory barrier between the updates of the two, the
old count may be decremented first before the new count is incremented.
This means the loop may see the old count of zero and skip it, and also
the new count of zero before it was updated. A possible runqueue that
the RT task could move to could be missed.

A conditional memory barrier is placed between the vec->count updates
and is only called when both updates are done.

The smp_wmb() has also been changed to smp_mb__before_atomic_inc/dec(),
as they are not needed by archs that already synchronize
atomic_inc/dec().

The smp_rmb() has been moved to be called at every iteration of the loop
so that the race between seeing the two updates is visible by each
iteration of the loop, as an arch is free to optimize the reading of
memory of the counters in the loop.

c92211d9b7 sched/cpupri: Remove the vec->lock
sched/cpupri: Remove the vec->lock

The cpupri vec->lock has been showing up as a top contention
lately. This is because of the RT push/pull logic takes an
agressive approach for migrating RT tasks. The cpupri logic is
in place to improve the performance of the push/pull when dealing
with large number CPU machines.

The problem though is a vec->lock is required, where a vec is a
global per RT priority structure. That is, if there are lots of
RT tasks at the same priority, every time they are added or removed
from the RT queue, this global vec->lock is taken. Now that more
kernel threads are becoming RT (RCU boost and threaded interrupts)
this is becoming much more of an issue.

There are two variables that are being synced by the vec->lock.
The cpupri bitmask, and the vec->counter. The cpupri bitmask
is one bit per priority. If a RT priority vec has a process queued,
then the vec->count is > 0 and the cpupri bitmask is set for that
RT priority.

If the cpupri bitmask gets out of sync with the vec->counter, we could
end up pushing a low proirity RT task to a high priority queue.
That RT task that could have run immediately could be queued on a
run queue with a higher priority task indefinitely.

The solution is not to use the cpupri bitmask and just look at the
vec->count directly when doing a pull. The cpupri bitmask is just
a fast way to scan the RT priorities when a pull is made. Instead
of using the bitmask, and just examine all RT priorities, and
look at the vec->counts, we could eliminate the vec->lock. The
scan of RT tasks is to find a run queue that we can push an RT task
to, and we do not push to a high priority queue, thus the scan only
needs to go from 1 to RT task->prio, and not all 100 RT priorities.

The push algorithm, which does the scan of RT priorities (and
scan of the bitmask) only happens when we have an overloaded RT run
queue (more than one RT task queued). The grabbing of the vec->lock
happens every time any RT task is queued or dequeued on the run
queue for that priority. The slowing down of the scan by not using
a bitmask is negligible by the speed up of removing the vec->lock
contention, and replacing it with an atomic counter and memory barrier.

To prove this, I wrote a patch that times both the loop and the code
that grabs the vec->locks. I passed the patches to various people
(and companies) to test and show the results. I let everyone choose
their own load to test, giving different loads on the system,
for various different setups.

Here's some of the results: (snipping to a few CPUs to not make
this change log huge, but the results were consistent across
the entire system).

All times are in microseconds. The 'loop' is the amount of time spent
doing the loop across the priorities (before patch uses bitmask).
the 'vec' is the amount of time in the code that requires grabbing
the vec->lock. The second patch just does not have the vec lock, but
encompasses the same code.

Amazingly the loop code even went down on average. The vec code went
from .5 down to .18, that's more than half the time spent!

Note, more than one test was run, but they all had the same results.

The test run during the measurement did not have any (very few,
from other CPUs) RT tasks pushing. But this shows that it helped
out tremendously with the contention, as the contention happens
because the vec->lock is taken only on queuing at an RT priority,
and different CPUs that queue tasks at the same priority will
have contention.

I tested on my own 4 CPU machine with the following results:

This was running my migrate.c code that can be found at:
http://lwn.net/Articles/425763/

The migrate code does stress the RT tasks a bit. This shows that
the loop did increase a little after the patch, but not by much.
The vec code dropped dramatically. From 4.3us down to .42us.
That's a 10x improvement!

5181f4a46a sched: Use pushable_tasks to determine next highest prio
Hillf Danton proposed a patch (see link) that cleaned up the
sched_rt code that calculates the priority of the next highest priority
task to be used in finding run queues to pull from.

His patch removed the calculating of the next prio to just use the current
prio when deteriming if we should examine a run queue to pull from. The problem
with his patch was that it caused more false checks. Because we check a run
queue for pushable tasks if the current priority of that run queue is higher
in priority than the task about to run on our run queue. But after grabbing
the locks and doing the real check, we find that there may not be a task
that has a higher prio task to pull. Thus the locks were taken with nothing to
do.

I added some trace_printks() to record when and how many times the run queue
locks were taken to check for pullable tasks, compared to how many times we
pulled a task.

With the current method, it was:

  3806 locks taken vs 2812 pulled tasks

With Hillf's patch:

  6728 locks taken vs 2804 pulled tasks

The number of times locks were taken to pull a task went up almost double with
no more success rate.

But his patch did get me thinking. When we look at the priority of the highest
task to consider taking the locks to do a pull, a failure to pull can be one
of the following: (in order of most likely)

 o RT task was pushed off already between the check and taking the lock
 o Waiting RT task can not be migrated
 o RT task's CPU affinity does not include the target run queue's CPU
 o RT task's priority changed between the check and taking the lock

And with Hillf's patch, the thing that caused most of the failures, is
the RT task to pull was not at the right priority to pull (not greater than
the current RT task priority on the target run queue).

Most of the above cases we can't help. But the current method does not check
if the next highest prio RT task can be migrated or not, and if it can not,
we still grab the locks to do the test (we don't find out about this fact until
after we have the locks). I thought about this case, and realized that the
pushable task plist that is maintained only holds RT tasks that can migrate.
If we move the calculating of the next highest prio task from the inc/dec_rt_task()
functions into the queuing of the pushable tasks, then we only measure the
priorities of those tasks that we push, and we get this basically for free.

Not only does this patch make the code a little more efficient, it cleans it
up and makes it a little simpler.

Thanks to Hillf Danton for inspiring me on this patch.
