The RCU iterators used 'rcu_dereference()' on an already-fetched RCU
pointer value, which defeats the whole point of the exercise.

When we dereference a pointer protected by RCU, we need to make sure
that we only fetch the value _once_, because if the compiler ends up
re-loading it due to register pressure, the newly reloaded value could
be different from the previously fetched one, and you get inconsistent
results.

Cleaned-up, fixed, and the pointless list_for_each_safe_rcu #define
deleted by Paul Kenney.

The previous optimization did not take the case into account where a
clock provides its own softirq_get_time() function.

Check for the availablitiy of the clock get time function first and
then check if we need to retrieve the time for both clocks via
hrtimer_softirq_gettime() to avoid a double evaluation of time in that
case as well.

It seems that hrtimer_run_queues() is calling hrtimer_get_softirq_time() more
often than it needs to.  This can cause frequent contention on systems with
large numbers of processors/cores.

With this patch, hrtimer_run_queues only calls hrtimer_get_softirq_time() if
there is a pending timer in one of the hrtimer bases, and only once.

This also combines hrtimer_run_queues() and the inline run_hrtimer_queue()
into one function.

Print a tree of weights.
Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

In order to level the hierarchy, we need to calculate load based on the
root view. That is, each task's load is in the same unit.

             A
            / \
           B   1
          / \
         2   3

To compute 1's load we do:

	   weight(1)
	--------------
	 rq_weight(A)

To compute 2's load we do:

	  weight(2)      weight(B)
	------------ * -----------
	rq_weight(B)   rw_weight(A)

This yields load fractions in comparable units.

The consequence is that it changes virtual time. We used to have:

                time_{i}
  vtime_{i} = ------------
               weight_{i}

  vtime = \Sum vtime_{i} = time / rq_weight.

But with the new way of load calculation we get that vtime equals time.

Implement SMP nice support for the full group hierarchy.

On each load-balance action, compile a sched_domain wide view of the full
task_group tree. We compute the domain wide view when walking down the
hierarchy, and readjust the weights when walking back up.

After collecting and readjusting the domain wide view, we try to balance the
tasks within the task_groups. The current approach is a naively balance each
task group until we've moved the targeted amount of load.

Inspired by Srivatsa Vaddsgiri's previous code and Abhishek Chandra's H-SMP
paper.

XXX: there will be some numerical issues due to the limited nature of
     SCHED_LOAD_SCALE wrt to representing a task_groups influence on the
     total weight. When the tree is deep enough, or the task weight small
     enough, we'll run out of bits.

Add a new function that accepts a pointer to the "newly allowed cpus"
cpumask argument.

int set_cpus_allowed_ptr(struct task_struct *p, const cpumask_t *new_mask)

The current set_cpus_allowed() function is modified to use the above
but this does not result in an ABI change.  And with some compiler
optimization help, it may not introduce any additional overhead.

Additionally, to enforce the read only nature of the new_mask arg, the
"const" property is migrated to sub-functions called by set_cpus_allowed.
This silences compiler warnings.
