      ACPI: Remove ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_INITRD option · 9a9e0d68
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      This essentially reverts commit 71fc47a9
("ACPI: basic initramfs DSDT override support"), because the code simply
isn't ready.

It did ugly things to the init sequence to populate the rootfs image
early, but that just ended up showing other problems with the whole
approach.  The fact is, the VFS layer simply isn't initialized this
early, and the relevant ACPI code should either run much later, or this
shouldn't be done at all.

For 2.6.25, we'll just pick the latter option.  We can revisit this
concept later if necessary.

      sched: simplify sched_slice() · 6a6029b8
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      Use the existing calc_delta_mine() calculation for sched_slice(). This
saves a divide and simplifies the code because we share it with the
other /cfs_rq->load users.

It also improves code size:

      sched: fix fair sleepers · e22ecef1
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      Fair sleepers need to scale their latency target down by runqueue
weight. Otherwise busy systems will gain ever larger sleep bonus.

      sched: fix overload performance: buddy wakeups · aa2ac252
      Peter Zijlstra authored 
      Currently we schedule to the leftmost task in the runqueue. When the
runtimes are very short because of some server/client ping-pong,
especially in over-saturated workloads, this will cycle through all
tasks trashing the cache.

Reduce cache trashing by keeping dependent tasks together by running
newly woken tasks first. However, by not running the leftmost task first
we could starve tasks because the wakee can gain unlimited runtime.

Therefore we only run the wakee if its within a small
(wakeup_granularity) window of the leftmost task. This preserves
fairness, but does alternate server/client task groups.

      sched: min_vruntime fix · 3fe69747
      Peter Zijlstra authored 
      Current min_vruntime tracking is incorrect and will cause serious
problems when we don't run the leftmost task for some reason.

min_vruntime does two things; 1) it's used to determine a forward
direction when the u64 vruntime wraps, 2) it's used to track the
leftmost vruntime to position newly enqueued tasks from.

The current logic advances min_vruntime whenever the current task's
vruntime advance. Because the current task may pass the leftmost task
still waiting we're failing the second goal. This causes new tasks to be
placed too far ahead and thus penalizes their runtime.

Fix this by making min_vruntime the min_vruntime of the waiting tasks by
tracking it in enqueue/dequeue, and compare against current's vruntime
to obtain the absolute minimum when placing new tasks.

      sched: fix race in schedule() · 0e1f3483
      Hiroshi Shimamoto authored 
      Fix a hard to trigger crash seen in the -rt kernel that also affects
the vanilla scheduler.

There is a race condition between schedule() and some dequeue/enqueue
functions; rt_mutex_setprio(), __setscheduler() and sched_move_task().

When scheduling to idle, idle_balance() is called to pull tasks from
other busy processor. It might drop the rq lock. It means that those 3
functions encounter on_rq=0 and running=1. The current task should be
put when running.

Here is a possible scenario:

   CPU0                               CPU1
    |                              schedule()
    |                              ->deactivate_task()
    |                              ->idle_balance()
    |                              -->load_balance_newidle()
rt_mutex_setprio()                     |
    |                              --->double_lock_balance()
    *get lock                          *rel lock
    * on_rq=0, ruuning=1               |
    * sched_class is changed           |
    *rel lock                          *get lock
    :                                  |
                                       :
                                   ->put_prev_task_rt()
                                   ->pick_next_task_fair()
                                       => panic

The current process of CPU1(P1) is scheduling. Deactivated P1, and the
scheduler looks for another process on other CPU's runqueue because CPU1
will be idle. idle_balance(), load_balance_newidle() and
double_lock_balance() are called and double_lock_balance() could drop
the rq lock. On the other hand, CPU0 is trying to boost the priority of
P1. The result of boosting only P1's prio and sched_class are changed to
RT. The sched entities of P1 and P1's group are never put. It makes
cfs_rq invalid, because the cfs_rq has curr and no leaf, but
pick_next_task_fair() is called, then the kernel panics.
