* sched: allow the group scheduler to have multiple levelsDhaval Giani2008-04-19
| | | | | | | | | This patch makes the group scheduler multi hierarchy aware. [a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl: rt-parts and assorted fixes] Signed-off-by: Dhaval Giani <dhaval@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* sched: mix tasks and groupsDhaval Giani2008-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows tasks and groups to exist in the same cfs_rq. With this change the CFS group scheduling follows a 1/(M+N) model from a 1/(1+N) fairness model where M tasks and N groups exist at the cfs_rq level.

* sched: add new set_cpus_allowed_ptr functionMike Travis2008-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new function that accepts a pointer to the "newly allowed cpus" cpumask argument. int set_cpus_allowed_ptr(struct task_struct *p, const cpumask_t *new_mask) The current set_cpus_allowed() function is modified to use the above but this does not result in an ABI change. And with some compiler optimization help, it may not introduce any additional overhead. Additionally, to enforce the read only nature of the new_mask arg, the "const" property is migrated to sub-functions called by set_cpus_allowed. This silences compiler warnings.

* init: move setup of nr_cpu_ids to as early as possibleMike Travis2008-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | Move the setting of nr_cpu_ids from sched_init() to start_kernel() so that it's available as early as possible. Note that an arch has the option of setting it even earlier if need be, but it should not result in a different value than the setup_nr_cpu_ids() function.

* x86: convert cpumask_of_cpu macro to allocated arrayMike Travis2008-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Here is a simple patch to use an allocated array of cpumasks to represent cpumask_of_cpu() instead of constructing one on the stack. It's based on the Kconfig option "HAVE_CPUMASK_OF_CPU_MAP" which is currently only set for x86_64 SMP. Otherwise the the existing cpumask_of_cpu() is used but has been changed to produce an lvalue so a pointer to it can be used. Cc: H.

* asm-generic: add node_to_cpumask_ptr macroMike Travis2008-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create a simple macro to always return a pointer to the node_to_cpumask(node) value. This relies on compiler optimization to remove the extra indirection: #define node_to_cpumask_ptr(v, node) \ cpumask_t _##v = node_to_cpumask(node), *v = &_##v For those systems with a large cpumask size, then a true pointer to the array element can be used: #define node_to_cpumask_ptr(v, node) \ cpumask_t *v = &(node_to_cpumask_map[node]) A node_to_cpumask_ptr_next() macro is provided to access another node_to_cpumask value. The other change is to always include asm-generic/topology.h moving the ifdef CONFIG_NUMA to this same file. Note: there are no references to either of these new macros in this patch, only the definition.

This seemed to be a bug to me even though as long as cpu 0 and <this cpu> are of the same type it would have the same effect...?

* tasklets: execute tasklets in the same order they were queuedOlof Johansson2008-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I noticed this when looking at an openswan issue. Openswan (ab?)uses the tasklet API to defer processing of packets in some situations, with one packet per tasklet_action(). I started noticing sequences of backwards-ordered sequence numbers coming over the wire, since new tasklets are always queued at the head of the list but processed sequentially. Convert it to instead append new entries to the tail of the list. As an extra bonus, the splicing code in takeover_tasklets() no longer has to iterate over the list.

* sched: rt-group: smp balancingPeter Zijlstra2008-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the rt group scheduling does a per cpu runtime limit, however the rt load balancer makes no guarantees about an equal spread of real- time tasks, just that at any one time, the highest priority tasks run.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add the security= boot parameter. This is done to avoid LSM registration clashes in case of more than one bult-in module. User can choose a security module to enable at boot. If no security= boot parameter is specified, only the first LSM asking for registration will be loaded. An invalid security module name will be treated as if no module has been chosen. LSM modules must check now if they are allowed to register by calling security_module_enable(ops) first. Modify SELinux and SMACK to do so. Do not let SMACK register smackfs if it was not chosen on boot. Smackfs assumes that smack hooks are registered and the initial task security setup (swapper->security) is done.
