      sched: isolate SMP balancing code a bit more · 681f3e68
      Peter Williams authored 
      At the moment, a lot of load balancing code that is irrelevant to non
SMP systems gets included during non SMP builds.

This patch addresses this issue and reduces the binary size on non
SMP systems:

      sched: reduce balance-tasks overhead · e1d1484f
      Peter Williams authored 
      At the moment, balance_tasks() provides low level functionality for both
  move_tasks() and move_one_task() (indirectly) via the load_balance()
function (in the sched_class interface) which also provides dual
functionality.  This dual functionality complicates the interfaces and
internal mechanisms and makes the run time overhead of operations that
are called with two run queue locks held.

This patch addresses this issue and reduces the overhead of these
operations.

      sched: use show_regs() to improve __schedule_bug() output · 838225b4
      Satyam Sharma authored 
      A full register dump along with stack backtrace would make the
"scheduling while atomic" message more helpful. Use show_regs() instead
of dump_stack() for this. We already know we're atomic in here (that is
why this function was called) so show_regs()'s atomicity expectations
are guaranteed.

Also, modify the output of the "BUG: scheduling while atomic:" header a
bit to keep task->comm and task->pid together and preempt_count() after
them.

      sched: fix sched_domain sysctl registration again · 7378547f
      Milton Miller authored 
      commit  029190c5 (cpuset
sched_load_balance flag) was not tested SCHED_DEBUG enabled as
committed as it dereferences NULL when used and it reordered
the sysctl registration to cause it to never show any domains
or their tunables.

Fixes:

1) restore arch_init_sched_domains ordering
	we can't walk the domains before we build them

	presently we register cpus with empty directories (no domain
	directories or files).

2) make unregister_sched_domain_sysctl do nothing when already unregistered
	detach_destroy_domains is now called one set of cpus at a time
	unregister_syctl dereferences NULL if called with a null.

	While the the function would always dereference null if called
	twice, in the previous code it was always called once and then
	was followed a register.  So only the hidden bug of the
	sysctl_root_table not being allocated followed by an attempt to
	free it would have shown the error.

3) always call unregister and register in partition_sched_domains
	The code is "smart" about unregistering only needed domains.
	Since we aren't guaranteed any calls to unregister, always 
	unregister.   Without calling register on the way out we
	will not have a table or any sysctl tree.

4) warn if register is called without unregistering
	The previous table memory is lost, leaving pointers to the
	later freed memory in sysctl and leaking the memory of the
	tables.

Before this patch on a 2-core 4-thread box compiled for SMT and NUMA,
the domains appear empty (there are actually 3 levels per cpu).  And as
soon as two domains a null pointer is dereferenced (unreliable in this
case is stack garbage):

      The patch is big.  Really big.  You just won't believe how vastly hugely
mindbogglingly big it is.  I mean you may think it's a long way down the
road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to how big the patch from
2.6.23 is.

But it's all good.
