Some numbers like nr_running and nr_uninterruptible are fundamentally
unsigned since its impossible to have a negative amount of tasks, yet
we still print them as signed to easily recognise the underflow
condition.

rq->nr_uninterruptible has 'special' accounting and can in fact very
easily become negative on a per-cpu basis.

It was noted that since the P() macro assumes things are long long and
the promotion of unsigned 'int/long' to long long on 32bit doesn't
sign extend we print silly large numbers instead of the easier to read
signed numbers.

Therefore extend the P() macro to not require the sign extention.

Group imbalance is meant to deal with situations where affinity masks
and sched domains don't align well, such as 3 cpus from one group and
6 from another. In this case the domain based balancer will want to
put an equal amount of tasks on each side even though they don't have
equal cpus.

Currently group_imb is set whenever two cpus of a group have a weight
difference of at least one avg task and the heaviest cpu has at least
two tasks. A group with imbalance set will always be picked as busiest
and a balance pass will be forced.

The problem is that even if there are no affinity masks this stuff can
trigger and cause weird balancing decisions, eg. the observed
behaviour was that of 6 cpus, 5 had 2 and 1 had 3 tasks, due to the
difference of 1 avg load (they all had the same weight) and nr_running
being >1 the group_imbalance logic triggered and did the weird thing
of pulling more load instead of trying to move the 1 excess task to
the other domain of 6 cpus that had 5 cpu with 2 tasks and 1 cpu with
1 task.

Curb the group_imbalance stuff by making the nr_running condition
weaker by also tracking the min_nr_running and using the difference in
nr_running over the set instead of the absolute max nr_running.

While investigating why the load-balancer did funny I found that the
rq->cpu_load[] tables were completely screwy.. a bit more digging
revealed that the updates that got through were missing ticks followed
by a catchup of 2 ticks.

The catchup assumes the cpu was idle during that time (since only nohz
can cause missed ticks and the machine is idle etc..) this means that
esp. the higher indices were significantly lower than they ought to
be.

The reason for this is that its not correct to compare against jiffies
on every jiffy on any other cpu than the cpu that updates jiffies.

This patch cludges around it by only doing the catch-up stuff from
nohz_idle_balance() and doing the regular stuff unconditionally from
the tick.

Patches c22402a2 ("sched/fair: Let minimally loaded cpu balance the
group") and 0ce90475 ("sched/fair: Add some serialization to the
sched_domain load-balance walk") are horribly broken so revert them.

The problem is that while it sounds good to have the minimally loaded
cpu do the pulling of more load, the way we walk the domains there is
absolutely no guarantee this cpu will actually get to the domain. In
fact its very likely it wont. Therefore the higher up the tree we get,
the less likely it is we'll balance at all.

The first of mask always walks up, while sucky in that it accumulates
load on the first cpu and needs extra passes to spread it out at least
guarantees a cpu gets up that far and load-balancing happens at all.

Since its now always the first and idle cpus should always be able to
balance so they get a task as fast as possible we can also do away
with the added serialization.

The current code groups up to 16 nodes in a level and then puts an
ALLNODES domain spanning the entire tree on top of that. This doesn't
reflect the numa topology and esp for the smaller not-fully-connected
machines out there today this might make a difference.

Therefore, build a proper numa topology based on node_distance().

Since there's no fixed numa layers anymore, the static SD_NODE_INIT
and SD_ALLNODES_INIT aren't usable anymore, the new code tries to
construct something similar and scales some values either on the
number of cpus in the domain and/or the node_distance() ratio.

Currently we let the leftmost (or first idle) cpu ascend the
sched_domain tree and perform load-balancing. The result is that the
busiest cpu in the group might be performing this function and pull
more load to itself. The next load balance pass will then try to
equalize this again.

Since there's a PID space limit of 30bits (see
futex.h:FUTEX_TID_MASK) and allocating that many tasks (assuming a
lower bound of 2 pages per task) would still take 8T of memory it
seems reasonable to say that unsigned int is sufficient for
rq->nr_running.

When we do get anywhere near that amount of tasks I suspect other
things would go funny, load-balancer load computations would really
need to be hoisted to 128bit etc.

So save a few bytes and convert rq->nr_running and friends to
unsigned int.

The checks that exist in mwait_usable() for "idle=" kernel
parameters are insufficient. As a result, mwait_usable() can
return 1 even if "idle=nomwait" or "idle=poll" or "idle=halt"
parameters are passed.

Of these cases, incorrect handling of idle=nomwait is a
universal problem since mwait can get used for usual CPU idling.
However the rest of the cases are problematic only during CPU
Hotplug (offline) because, in the CPU offline path, the function
mwait_play_dead() is called, which might result in mwait being
used in the offline CPUs, if mwait_usable() happens to return 1.

Fix these issues by checking for the boot time "idle=" kernel
parameter properly in mwait_usable().

The first issue (usual cpu idling) is demonstrated below:

verify_parent_transid needs to lock the extent range to make

But, a few callers are using it with spinlocks held.  Most
of the time, the generation numbers are going to match, and

  ACPI: Fix D3hot v D3cold confusion

Currently, we'll try mounting any device who's major device number is
UNNAMED_MAJOR as NFS root.  This would happen for non-NFS devices as
well (such as 9p devices) but it wouldn't cause any issues since
mounting the device as NFS would fail quickly and the code proceeded to
doing the proper mount:

       [  101.522716] VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy.
       [  101.534499] VFS: Mounted root (9p filesystem) on device 0:18.

Commit 6829a048102a ("NFS: Retry mounting NFSROOT") introduced retries
when mounting NFS root, which means that now we don't immediately fail
and instead it takes an additional 90+ seconds until we stop retrying,
which has revealed the issue this patch fixes.

This meant that it would take an additional 90 seconds to boot when
we're not using a device type which gets detected in order before NFS.

This patch modifies the NFS type check to require device type to be
'Root_NFS' instead of requiring the device to have an UNNAMED_MAJOR
major.  This makes boot process cleaner since we now won't go through
the NFS mounting code at all when the device isn't an NFS root
("/dev/nfs").

ASoC: Updates for 3.4

Nothing terribly exciting here, a bunch of small and simple fixes
scattered around the place.

Before this patch, ACPI_STATE_D3 incorrectly referenced D3hot
in some places, but D3cold in other places.

After this patch, ACPI_STATE_D3 always means ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD;
and all references to D3hot use ACPI_STATE_D3_HOT.

ACPI's _PR3 method is used to enter both D3hot and D3cold states.
What distinguishes D3hot from D3cold is the presence _PR3
(Power Resources for D3hot)  If these resources are all ON,
then the state is D3hot.  If _PR3 is not present,
or all _PR0 resources for the devices are OFF,
then the state is D3cold.

This patch applies after Linux-3.4-rc1.
A future syntax cleanup may remove ACPI_STATE_D3
to emphasize that it always means ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD.

count is even.

That "wait for sequence count to stabilize" is the right thing to do if
the read-locker will just retry the whole operation on contention: no
point in doing a potentially expensive reader sequence if we know at the
beginning that we'll just end up re-doing it all.

HOWEVER.  Some users don't actually retry the operation, but instead
will abort and do the operation with proper locking.  So the sequence
count case may be the optimistic quick case, but in the presense of
writers you may want to do full locking in order to guarantee forward
progress.  The prime example of this would be the RCU name lookup.

And in that case, you may well be better off without the "retry early",
and are in a rush to instead get to the failure handling.  Thus this
"raw" interface that just returns the sequence number without testing it
- it just forces the low bit to zero so that read_seqcount_retry() will
always fail such a "active concurrent writer" scenario.
