Linus correctly observes that the most important dispatch cases
are now done from kblockd, this isn't ideal for latency reasons.
The original reason for switching dispatches out-of-line was to
avoid too deep a stack, so by _only_ letting the "accidental"
flush directly in schedule() be guarded by offload to kblockd,
we should be able to get the best of both worlds.
So add a blk_schedule_flush_plug() that offloads to kblockd,
and only use that from the schedule() path.

We really only want to unplug the pending IO when the process actually
goes to sleep. So move the test for flushing the plug up to the place
where we actually deactivate the task - where we have properly checked
for preemption and for the process really sleeping.

Instead of the possible multiple-evaluation of num_online_cpus()
in rebalance_domains() that Linus reported, avoid it altogether
in the normal case since it's implemented with a Hamming weight
function over a cpu bitmask which can be darn expensive for those
with big iron.
This also makes it cleaner, smaller and documents the code.

SCHED_FIFO tasks
sched_setscheduler() (in sched.c) is called in order of changing the
scheduling policy and/or the real-time priority of a task. Thus,
if we find out that neither of those are actually being modified, it
is possible to return earlier and save the overhead of a full
deactivate+activate cycle of the task in question.
Beside that, if we have more than one SCHED_FIFO task with the same
priority on the same rq (which means they share the same priority queue)
having one of them changing its position in the priority queue because of
a sched_setscheduler (as it happens by means of the deactivate+activate)
that does not actually change the priority violates POSIX which states,
for SCHED_FIFO:
"If a thread whose policy or priority has been modified by
pthread_setschedprio() is a running thread or is runnable, the effect on
its position in the thread list depends on the direction of the
modification, as follows: a. <...> b. If the priority is unchanged, the
thread does not change position in the thread list. c. <...>"
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/xsh_chap02_08.html
(ed: And the POSIX specification here does, briefly and somewhat unexpectedly,
match what common sense tells us as well. )

Although they run as rpciod background tasks, under normal operation
(i.e. no SIGKILL), functions like nfs_sillyrename(), nfs4_proc_unlck()
and nfs4_do_close() want to be fully synchronous. This means that when we
exit, we want all references to the rpc_task to be gone, and we want
any dentry references etc. held by that task to be released.
For this reason these functions call __rpc_wait_for_completion_task(),
followed by rpc_put_task() in the expectation that the latter will be
releasing the last reference to the rpc_task, and thus ensuring that the
callback_ops->rpc_release() has been called synchronously.
This patch fixes a race which exists due to the fact that
rpciod calls rpc_complete_task() (in order to wake up the callers of
__rpc_wait_for_completion_task()) and then subsequently calls
rpc_put_task() without ensuring that these two steps are done atomically.
In order to avoid adding new spin locks, the patch uses the existing
waitqueue spin lock to order the rpc_task reference count releases between
the waiting process and rpciod.
The common case where nobody is waiting for completion is optimised for by
checking if the RPC_TASK_ASYNC flag is cleared and/or if the rpc_task
reference count is 1: in those cases we drop trying to grab the spin lock,
and immediately free up the rpc_task.
Those few processes that need to put the rpc_task from inside an
asynchronous context and that do not care about ordering are given a new
helper: rpc_put_task_async().

This patch adds support for creating a queuing context outside
of the queue itself. This enables us to batch up pieces of IO
before grabbing the block device queue lock and submitting them to
the IO scheduler.
The context is created on the stack of the process and assigned in
the task structure, so that we can auto-unplug it if we hit a schedule
event.
The current queue plugging happens implicitly if IO is submitted to
an empty device, yet callers have to remember to unplug that IO when
they are going to wait for it. This is an ugly API and has caused bugs
in the past. Additionally, it requires hacks in the vm (->sync_page()
callback) to handle that logic. By switching to an explicit plugging
scheme we make the API a lot nicer and can get rid of the ->sync_page()
hack in the vm.

The current scheduler implementation returns -EPERM when trying to
change from SCHED_IDLE to SCHED_OTHER or SCHED_BATCH. Since SCHED_IDLE
is considered to be a nice 20 on steroids, changing to another policy
should be allowed provided the RLIMIT_NICE is accounted for.
This patch allows the following test-case to pass with RLIMIT_NICE=40,
but still fail with RLIMIT_NICE=10 when the calling process is run
from a typical shell (nice 0, or 20 in rlimit terms).
int main()
{
int ret;
struct sched_param sp;
sp.sched_priority = 0;
/* switch to SCHED_IDLE */
ret = sched_setscheduler(0, SCHED_IDLE, &sp);
printf("setscheduler IDLE: %d\n", ret);
if (ret) return ret;
/* switch back to SCHED_OTHER */
ret = sched_setscheduler(0, SCHED_OTHER, &sp);
printf("setscheduler OTHER: %d\n", ret);
return ret;

When the fuction graph tracer starts, it needs to make a special
stack for each task to save the real return values of the tasks.
All running tasks have this stack created, as well as any new
tasks.
On CPU hot plug, the new idle task will allocate a stack as well
when init_idle() is called. The problem is that cpu hotplug does
not create a new idle_task. Instead it uses the idle task that
existed when the cpu went down.
ftrace_graph_init_task() will add a new ret_stack to the task
that is given to it. Because a clone will make the task
have a stack of its parent it does not check if the task's
ret_stack is already NULL or not. When the CPU hotplug code
starts a CPU up again, it will allocate a new stack even
though one already existed for it.
The solution is to treat the idle_task specially. In fact, the
function_graph code already does, just not at init_idle().
Instead of using the ftrace_graph_init_task() for the idle task,
which that function expects the task to be a clone, have a
separate ftrace_graph_init_idle_task(). Also, we will create a
per_cpu ret_stack that is used by the idle task. When we call
ftrace_graph_init_idle_task() it will check if the idle task's
ret_stack is NULL, if it is, then it will assign it the per_cpu
ret_stack.

Currently only implemented for fair class tasks.
Add a yield_to_task method() to the fair scheduling class. allowing the
caller of yield_to() to accelerate another thread in it's thread group,
task group.
Implemented via a scheduler hint, using cfs_rq->next to encourage the
target being selected. We can rely on pick_next_entity to keep things
fair, so noone can accelerate a thread that has already used its fair
share of CPU time.
This also means callers should only call yield_to when they really
mean it. Calling it too often can result in the scheduler just
ignoring the hint.

Use the buddy mechanism to implement yield_task_fair. This
allows us to skip onto the next highest priority se at every
level in the CFS tree, unless doing so would introduce gross
unfairness in CPU time distribution.
We order the buddy selection in pick_next_entity to check
yield first, then last, then next. We need next to be able
to override yield, because it is possible for the "next" and
"yield" task to be different processen in the same sub-tree
of the CFS tree. When they are, we need to go into that
sub-tree regardless of the "yield" hint, and pick the correct
entity once we get to the right level.

Oleg reported that on architectures with
__ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW the IPI from
task_oncpu_function_call() can land before perf_event_task_sched_in()
and cause interesting situations for eg. perf_install_in_context().
This patch reworks the task_oncpu_function_call() interface to give a
more usable primitive as well as rework all its users to hopefully be
more obvious as well as remove the races.
While looking at the code I also found a number of races against
perf_event_task_sched_out() which can flip contexts between tasks so
plug those too.

When a task is taken out of the fair class we must ensure the vruntime
is properly normalized because when we put it back in it will assume
to be normalized.
The case that goes wrong is when changing away from the fair class
while sleeping. Sleeping tasks have non-normalized vruntime in order
to make sleeper-fairness work. So treat the switch away from fair as a
wakeup and preserve the relative vruntime.
Also update sysrq-n to call the ->switch_{to,from} methods.

softirq time in ksoftirqd context is not accounted in ns granularity
per cpu softirq stats, as we want that to be a part of ksoftirqd
exec_runtime.
Accounting them as softirq on /proc/stat separately.

CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING adds ns granularity irq time on each CPU.
This info is already used in scheduler to do proper task chargeback
(earlier patches). This patch retro-fits this ns granularity
hardirq and softirq information to /proc/stat irq and softirq fields.
The update is still done on timer tick, where we look at accumulated
ns hardirq/softirq time and account the tick to user/system/irq/hardirq/guest
accordingly.
No new interface added.
Earlier versions looked at adding this as new fields in some /proc
files. This one seems to be the best in terms of impact to existing
apps, even though it has somewhat more kernel code than earlier versions.

Refactor account_system_time, to separate out the logic of
identifying the update needed and code that does actual update.
This is used by following patch for IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING,
which has different identification logic and same update logic.

Since cfs->{load_stamp,load_last} are zero-initalized the initial load update
will consider the delta to be 'since the beginning of time'.
This results in a lot of pointless divisions to bring this large period to be
within the sysctl_sched_shares_window.
Fix this by initializing load_stamp to be 1 at cfs_rq initialization, this
allows for an initial load_stamp > load_last which then lets standard idle
truncation proceed.
We avoid spinning (and slightly improve consistency) by fixing delta to be
[period - 1] in this path resulting in a slightly more predictable shares ramp.
(Previously the amount of idle time preserved by the overflow would range between
[period/2,period-1].)

Re-visiting this: Since update_cfs_shares will now only ever re-weight an
entity that is a relative parent of the current entity in enqueue_entity; we
can safely issue the account_entity_enqueue relative to that cfs_rq and avoid
the requirement for special handling of the enqueue case in update_cfs_shares.

By not notifying the controller of the on-exit move back to
init_css_set, we fail to move the task out of the previous
cgroup's cfs_rq. This leads to an opportunity for a
cgroup-destroy to come in and free the cgroup (there are no
active tasks left in it after all) to which the not-quite dead
task is still enqueued.

If CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED is set, __sched_setscheduler() fails due to autogroup
not allocating rt_runtime. Free unused/unusable rt_se and rt_rq, redirect RT
tasks to the root task group, and tell __sched_setscheduler() that it's ok.

One of the operands, buf, is incorrect, since it is stripped and the
correct address for subsequent string comparing could change if
leading white spaces, if any, are removed from buf.
It is fixed by replacing buf with cmp.

root_task_group is the leftover of USER_SCHED, now it's always
same to init_task_group.
But as Mike suggested, root_task_group is maybe the suitable name
to keep for a tree.
So in this patch:
init_task_group --> root_task_group
init_task_group_load --> root_task_group_load
INIT_TASK_GROUP_LOAD --> ROOT_TASK_GROUP_LOAD
