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 registers.

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: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 2572 mingo 20 0 1576 244 196 R 100 0.0 1:03.61 loop 2578 mingo 20 0 1576 248 196 R 100 0.0 1:03.59 loop 2576 mingo 20 0 1576 248 196 R 100 0.0 1:03.52 loop 2571 mingo 20 0 1576 244 196 R 100 0.0 1:03.46 loop 2569 mingo 20 0 1576 244 196 R 99 0.0 1:03.36 loop 2570 mingo 20 0 1576 244 196 R 95 0.0 1:00.55 loop 2577 mingo 20 0 1576 248 196 R 50 0.0 0:31.88 loop 2574 mingo 20 0 1576 248 196 R 50 0.0 0:31.87 loop 2573 mingo 20 0 1576 248 196 R 50 0.0 0:31.86 loop 2575 mingo 20 0 1576 248 196 R 50 0.0 0:31.86 loop v2.6.23-rc1 + patch: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 2681 mingo 20 0 1576 244 196 R 85 0.0 3:51.68 loop 2688 mingo 20 0 1576 244 196 R 81 0.0 3:46.35 loop 2682 mingo 20 0 1576 244 196 R 80 0.0 3:43.68 loop 2685 mingo 20 0 1576 248 196 R 80 0.0 3:45.97 loop 2683 mingo 20 0 1576 248 196 R 80 0.0 3:40.25 loop 2679 mingo 20 0 1576 244 196 R 80 0.0 3:33.53 loop 2680 mingo 20 0 1576 244 196 R 79 0.0 3:43.53 loop 2686 mingo 20 0 1576 244 196 R 79 0.0 3:39.31 loop 2687 mingo 20 0 1576 244 196 R 78 0.0 3:33.31 loop 2684 mingo 20 0 1576 244 196 R 77 0.0 3:27.52 loop so they now nicely converge to the expected 80% long-term CPU usage.

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.

In the whitelist function of modpost now use the same check to identify init_section as in other places of modpost. This has the effect that we now recognize sections named .init.text.19 as init sections and we no longer warn when we see these. At the same time make surrounding code readable by dropping use of temporary flags. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

I noticed, when running scripts/ver_linux on both a Gentoo system and a Slackware system, that the line printing the C library version looked a little odd.

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. Signed-off-by: Mikael Pettersson <mikpe@it.uu.se> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

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). [ Updated Patch. As penance for my sins I've also yanked another #ifdef that was added to avoid the xtime lag w/ hrtimers. ] Signed-off-by: John Stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
