      frv: Remove bogus NO_IRQ = -1 define · b2f051ae
      Alan Cox authored
      The old NO_IRQ define some platforms had was long ago declared obsolete
      and wrong. FRV should therefore not be re-introducing this, especially as
      IRQs are usually unsigned in the kernel. The "no IRQ" case is defined to be
      zero and Linus made this rather clear at the time.
      
      arch/frv shows no dependancy on this but it might show up driver fixes
      needing doing I guess

      sched: avoid large irq-latencies in smp-balancing · b82d9fdd
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      SMP balancing is done with IRQs disabled and can iterate the full rq.
      When rqs are large this can cause large irq-latencies. Limit the nr of
      iterations on each run.
      
      This fixes a scheduling latency regression reported by the -rt folks.

      sched: fix copy_namespace() <-> sched_fork() dependency in do_fork · 3c90e6e9
      Srivatsa Vaddagiri authored
      Sukadev Bhattiprolu reported a kernel crash with control groups.
      There are couple of problems discovered by Suka's test:
      
      - The test requires the cgroup filesystem to be mounted with
        atleast the cpu and ns options (i.e both namespace and cpu 
        controllers are active in the same hierarchy). 
      
      	# mkdir /dev/cpuctl
      	# mount -t cgroup -ocpu,ns none cpuctl
      	(or simply)
      	# mount -t cgroup none cpuctl -> Will activate all controllers
      					 in same hierarchy.
      
      - The test invokes clone() with CLONE_NEWNS set. This causes a a new child
        to be created, also a new group (do_fork->copy_namespaces->ns_cgroup_clone->
        cgroup_clone) and the child is attached to the new group (cgroup_clone->
        attach_task->sched_move_task). At this point in time, the child's scheduler 
        related fields are uninitialized (including its on_rq field, which it has
        inherited from parent). As a result sched_move_task thinks its on
        runqueue, when it isn't.
      
        As a solution to this problem, I moved sched_fork() call, which
        initializes scheduler related fields on a new task, before
        copy_namespaces(). I am not sure though whether moving up will
        cause other side-effects. Do you see any issue?
      
      - The second problem exposed by this test is that task_new_fair()
        assumes that parent and child will be part of the same group (which 
        needn't be as this test shows). As a result, cfs_rq->curr can be NULL
        for the child.
      
        The solution is to test for curr pointer being NULL in
        task_new_fair().
      
      With the patch below, I could run ns_exec() fine w/o a crash.

      sched: turn off PREEMPT_RESTRICT · 52d3da1a
      Ingo Molnar authored
      PREEMPT_RESTRICT was a method aimed at reducing the amount of wakeup
      related preemption. It has a disadvantage though, it can prevent
      legitimate wakeups if a task is 'unlucky' to be hit too early by a tick
      that clears peer_preempt.
      
      Now that the wakeup preemption has been cleaned up we dont seem to have
      excessive preemptions anymore, so this feature can be turned off. (and
      removed in the next patch)
