David Miller pointed it out that nothing in cpu_clock() sets
prev_cpu_time. This caused __sync_cpu_clock() to be called
all the time - against the intention of this code.
The result was that in practice we hit a global spinlock every
time cpu_clock() is called - which - even though cpu_clock()
is used for tracing and debugging, is suboptimal.
While at it, also:
- move the irq disabling to the outest layer,
this should make cpu_clock() warp-free when called with irqs
enabled.
- use long long instead of cycles_t - for platforms where cycles_t
is 32-bit.

When the echoed value was less than the number of processores, the result of the
sentence "shares/nr_cpu_ids" was 0, and then the system called div64() to divide
the result, the Div0 error occured.
It is unnecessary that the shares value is divided by nr_cpu_ids, I think.
Because in the function __update_group_shares_cpu() and init_tg_cfs_entry(),
the shares value isn't divided by nr_cpu_ids when setting shares of the sched
entity.
This patch fixes this bug. And echoing ULONG_MAX value into cpu.shares also
causes Div0 error, so we set a macro MAX_SHARES to limit the max value of
shares.
Concurrent calls to detach_destroy_domains and arch_init_sched_domains
were prevented by the old scheduler subsystem cpu hotplug mutex. When
this got converted to get_online_cpus() the locking got broken.
Unlike before now several processes can concurrently enter the critical
sections that were protected by the old lock.
So use the already present doms_cur_mutex to protect these sections again.

We currently use an optimization to skip the overhead of wake-idle
processing if more than one task is assigned to a run-queue. The
assumption is that the system must already be load-balanced or we
wouldnt be overloaded to begin with.
The problem is that we are looking at rq->nr_running, which may include
RT tasks in addition to CFS tasks. Since the presence of RT tasks
really has no bearing on the balance status of CFS tasks, this throws
the calculation off.
This patch changes the logic to only consider the number of CFS tasks
when making the decision to optimze the wake-idle.
Dmitry Adamushko pointed out a logic error in task_wake_up_rt() where we
will always evaluate to "true". You can find the thread here:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/22/296
In reality, we only want to try to push tasks away when a wake up request is
not going to preempt the current task. So lets fix it.
Note: We introduce test_tsk_need_resched() instead of open-coding the flag
check so that the merge-conflict with -rt should help remind us that we
may need to support NEEDS_RESCHED_DELAYED in the future, too.

Make forced module loading optional
The kernel module loader used to be much too happy to allow loading of
modules for the wrong kernel version by default. For example, if you
had MODVERSIONS enabled, but tried to load a module with no version
info, it would happily load it and taint the kernel - whether it was
likely to actually work or not!
Generally, such forced module loading should be considered a really
really bad idea, so make it conditional on a new config option
(MODULE_FORCE_LOAD), and make it default to off.
If somebody really wants to force module loads, that's their problem,
but we should not encourage it. Especially as it happened to me by
mistake (ie regular unversioned Fedora modules getting loaded) causing
lots of strange behavior.

x86: remove dell reboot dmi quirk board name match
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10547
Newer Dell OptiPlex 745s hang before rebooting after 'sudo reboot'.
A patch for some versions of the OptiPlex was proposed here --
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/6/5/59 -- and is included in 2.6.23 and
later kernels, according to
http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.23/arch/i386/kernel/reboot.c . However,
the DMI_BOARD_NAME ("0WF810") is too restrictive. Newer OptiPlex
machines have a DMI_BOARD_NAME of "0RF703". I therefore suggest
adding another clause to reboot.c, similar to the one in the original
patch, but matching a DMI_BOARD_NAME of "0RF703".
On further inspection, it seems that there are other DMI_BOARD_NAMEs
for this same machine. They seem to change from time to time, which
means that the current code is fragile. Moreover, using bios reboot
should not break non-SFF OptiPlex 745s, and so a reasonable fix is to
simply drop the match on DMI_BOARD_NAME.

Not all device types need a wildcard at the end of their module
aliases. In particular, for i2c module aliases, the trailing wildcard
is not only unneeded, it could also cause the wrong driver to be
loaded.
As I2C devices have no IDs, i2c module aliases are simple, arbitrary
device names. For example:
This would cause trouble if one I2C chip name matches the beginning of
another I2C chip name and both chips are supported by different
drivers. For example, an i2c device named lm9042 would cause the lm90
driver to be loaded, while it doesn't support that device. This case
has yet to be seen in practice, but still, I'd like to fix it now. The
cleanest fix is to remove the trailing wildcard from i2c module aliases.
Here's a patch doing this.
Not all device type aliases need a trailing wildcard, in particular
the i2c aliases don't. Don't add a wildcard by default in do_table(),
instead let each device type handler add it if needed.
I have tested types acpi, dmi, eisa, i2c, ide, ieee1394, input, pci,
pcmcia, platform, pnp, scsi, serio, ssb and usb. Other types (ccw, of,
vio, parisc, sdio and virtio) are untested. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Acked-by: Jochen Friedrich <jochen@scram.de> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

tiny mq_open optimization
A very small cleanup for mq_open.
We do not have to call set_close_on_exit if we create the file
descriptor right away with the flag set. We have a function for this
now. The resulting code is smaller and a tiny bit faster.

unified (weak) sys_pipe implementation
This replaces the duplicated arch-specific versions of "sys_pipe()" with
one unified implementation. This removes almost 250 lines of duplicated
code.
It's marked __weak, so that *if* an architecture wants to override the
default implementation it can do so by simply having its own replacement
version, since many architectures use alternate calling conventions for
the 'pipe()' system call for legacy reasons (ie traditional UNIX
implementations often return the two file descriptors in registers)
I still haven't changed the cris version even though Linus says the BKL
isn't needed. The arch maintainer can easily do it if there are really
no obstacles.

netns: Fix device renaming for sysfs
When a netdev is moved across namespaces with the
'dev_change_net_namespace' function, the 'device_rename' function is
used to fixup kobject and refresh the sysfs tree. The device_rename
function will call kobject_rename and this one will check if there is
an object with the same name and this is the case because we are
renaming the object with the same name.
The use of 'device_rename' seems for me wrong because we usually don't
rename it but just move it across namespaces. As we just want to do a
mini "netdev_[un]register", IMO the functions
'netdev_[un]register_kobject' should be used instead, like an usual
network device [un]registering.
This patch replace device_rename by netdev_unregister_kobject,
followed by netdev_register_kobject.
The netdev_register_kobject will call device_initialize and will raise
a warning indicating the device was already initialized. In order to
fix that, I split the device initialization into a separate function
and use it together with 'netdev_register_kobject' into
register_netdevice. So we can safely call 'netdev_register_kobject' in
'dev_change_net_namespace'.
This fix will allow to properly use the sysfs per namespace which is
coming from -mm tree.

bridge: forwarding table information for >256 devices
The forwarding table binary interface (my bad choice), only exposes
the port number of the first 8 bits. The bridge code was limited to
256 ports at the time, but now the kernel supports up 1024 ports, so
the upper bits are lost when doing:
brctl showmacs
The fix is to squeeze the extra bits into small hole left in data
structure, to maintain binary compatiablity.
