In order to reduce the dependency on TASK_WAKING rework the enqueue
interface to support a proper flags field.
Replace the int wakeup, bool head arguments with an int flags argument
and create the following flags:
ENQUEUE_WAKEUP - the enqueue is a wakeup of a sleeping task,
ENQUEUE_WAKING - the enqueue has relative vruntime due to
having sched_class::task_waking() called,
ENQUEUE_HEAD - the waking task should be places on the head
of the priority queue (where appropriate).
For symmetry also convert sched_class::dequeue() to a flags scheme.

Oleg noticed a few races with the TASK_WAKING usage on fork.
- since TASK_WAKING is basically a spinlock, it should be IRQ safe
- since we set TASK_WAKING (*) without holding rq->lock it could
be there still is a rq->lock holder, thereby not actually
providing full serialization.
(*) in fact we clear PF_STARTING, which in effect enables TASK_WAKING.
Cure the second issue by not setting TASK_WAKING in sched_fork(), but
only temporarily in wake_up_new_task() while calling select_task_rq().
Cure the first by holding rq->lock around the select_task_rq() call,
this will disable IRQs, this however requires that we push down the
rq->lock release into select_task_rq_fair()'s cgroup stuff.
Because select_task_rq_fair() still needs to drop the rq->lock we
cannot fully get rid of TASK_WAKING.

Make sure compiler won't do weird things with limits. E.g. fetching them
twice may return 2 different values after writable limits are implemented.
I.e. either use rlimit helpers added in commit 3e10e716abf3 ("resource:
add helpers for fetching rlimits") or ACCESS_ONCE if not applicable.

Put all statistic fields of sched_entity in one struct, sched_statistics,
and embed it into sched_entity.
This change allows to memset the sched_statistics to 0 when needed (for
instance when forking), avoiding bugs of non initialized fields.

find_lowest_rq() wants to call pick_optimal_cpu() on the
intersection of sched_domain_span(sd) and lowest_mask. Rather
than doing a cpus_and into a temporary, we can open-code it.

Reflect "active" cpus in the rq->rd->online field, instead of
the online_map.
The motivation is that things that use the root-domain code
(such as cpupri) only care about cpus classified as "active"
anyway. By synchronizing the root-domain state with the active
map, we allow several optimizations.
For instance, we can remove an extra cpumask_and from the
scheduler hotpath by utilizing rq->rd->online (since it is now
a cached version of cpu_active_map & rq->rd->span).

We currently have an explicit "needs_post" vtable method which
returns a stack variable for whether we should later run
post-schedule. This leads to an awkward exchange of the
variable as it bubbles back up out of the context switch. Peter
Zijlstra observed that this information could be stored in the
run-queue itself instead of handled on the stack.
Therefore, we revert to the method of having context_switch
return void, and update an internal rq->post_schedule variable
when we require further processing.
In addition, we fix a race condition where we try to access
current->sched_class without holding the rq->lock. This is
technically racy, as the sched-class could change out from
under us. Instead, we reference the per-rq post_schedule
variable with the runqueue unlocked, but with preemption
disabled to see if we need to reacquire the rq->lock.
Finally, we clean the code up slightly by removing the #ifdef
CONFIG_SMP conditionals from the schedule() call, and implement
some inline helper functions instead.
This patch passes checkpatch, and rt-migrate.

Fixes an easily triggerable BUG() when setting process affinities.
Make sure to count the number of migratable tasks in the same place:
the root rt_rq. Otherwise the number doesn't make sense and we'll hit
the BUG in set_cpus_allowed_rt().
Also, make sure we only count tasks, not groups (this is probably
already taken care of by the fact that rt_se->nr_cpus_allowed will be 0
for groups, but be more explicit)

Ingo found a build error in the scheduler when RT_GROUP_SCHED was
enabled, but SMP was not. This patch rearranges the code such
that it is a little more streamlined and compiles under all permutations
of SMP, UP and RT_GROUP_SCHED. It was boot tested on my 4-way x86_64
and it still passes preempt-test.

A panic was discovered by Chirag Jog where a BUG_ON sanity check
in the new "pushable_task" logic would trigger a panic under
certain circumstances:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/25/189
Gilles Carry discovered that the root cause was attributed to the
pushable_tasks list getting corrupted in the push_rt_task logic.
This was the result of a dropped rq lock in double_lock_balance
allowing a task in the process of being pushed to potentially migrate
away, and thus corrupt the pushable_tasks() list.
I traced back the problem as introduced by the pushable_tasks patch
that went in recently. There is a "retry" path in push_rt_task()
that actually had a compound conditional to decide whether to
retry or exit. I missed the meaning behind the rationale for the
virtual "if(!task) goto out;" portion of the compound statement and
thus did not handle it properly. The new pushable_tasks logic
actually creates three distinct conditions:
1) an untouched and unpushable task should be dequeued
2) a migrated task where more pushable tasks remain should be retried
3) a migrated task where no more pushable tasks exist should exit
The original logic mushed (1) and (3) together, resulting in the
system dequeuing a migrated task (against an unlocked foreign run-queue
nonetheless).
To fix this, we get rid of the notion of "paranoid" and we support the
three unique conditions properly. The paranoid feature is no longer
relevant with the new pushable logic (since pushable naturally limits
the loop) anyway, so lets just remove it.

The RT scheduler employs a "push/pull" design to actively balance tasks
within the system (on a per disjoint cpuset basis). When a task is
awoken, it is immediately determined if there are any lower priority
cpus which should be preempted. This is opposed to the way normal
SCHED_OTHER tasks behave, which will wait for a periodic rebalancing
operation to occur before spreading out load.
When a particular RQ has more than 1 active RT task, it is said to
be in an "overloaded" state. Once this occurs, the system enters
the active balancing mode, where it will try to push the task away,
or persuade a different cpu to pull it over. The system will stay
in this state until the system falls back below the <= 1 queued RT
task per RQ.
However, the current implementation suffers from a limitation in the
push logic. Once overloaded, all tasks (other than current) on the
RQ are analyzed on every push operation, even if it was previously
unpushable (due to affinity, etc). Whats more, the operation stops
at the first task that is unpushable and will not look at items
lower in the queue. This causes two problems:
1) We can have the same tasks analyzed over and over again during each
push, which extends out the fast path in the scheduler for no
gain. Consider a RQ that has dozens of tasks that are bound to a
core. Each one of those tasks will be encountered and skipped
for each push operation while they are queued.
2) There may be lower-priority tasks under the unpushable task that
could have been successfully pushed, but will never be considered
until either the unpushable task is cleared, or a pull operation
succeeds. The net result is a potential latency source for mid
priority tasks.
This patch aims to rectify these two conditions by introducing a new
priority sorted list: "pushable_tasks". A task is added to the list
each time a task is activated or preempted. It is removed from the
list any time it is deactivated, made current, or fails to push.
This works because a task only needs to be attempted to push once.
After an initial failure to push, the other cpus will eventually try to
pull the task when the conditions are proper. This also solves the
problem that we don't completely analyze all tasks due to encountering
an unpushable tasks. Now every task will have a push attempted (when
appropriate).
This reduces latency both by shorting the critical section of the
rq->lock for certain workloads, and by making sure the algorithm
considers all eligible tasks in the system.

We currently run class->post_schedule() outside of the rq->lock, which
means that we need to test for the need to post_schedule outside of
the lock to avoid a forced reacquistion. This is currently not a problem
as we only look at rq->rt.overloaded. However, we want to enhance this
going forward to look at more state to reduce the need to post_schedule to
a bare minimum set. Therefore, we introduce a new member-func called
needs_post_schedule() which tests for the post_schedule condtion without
actually performing the work. Therefore it is safe to call this
function before the rq->lock is released, because we are guaranteed not
to drop the lock at an intermediate point (such as what post_schedule()
may do).
We will use this later in the series

There is no sense in wasting time trying to push a task away that
cannot move anywhere else. We gain no benefit from trying to push
other tasks at this point, so if the task being woken up is non
migratable, just skip the whole operation. This reduces overhead
in the wakeup path for certain tasks.

We currently take the rq->lock for every cpu in an overload state during
pull_rt_tasks(). However, we now have enough information via the
highest_prio.[curr|next] fields to determine if there is any tasks of
interest to warrant the overhead of the rq->lock, before we actually take
it. So we use this information to reduce lock contention during the
pull for the case where the source-rq doesnt have tasks that preempt
the current task.

highest_prio.curr is actually a more accurate way to keep track of
the pull_rt_task() threshold since it is always up to date, even
if the "next" task migrates during double_lock. Therefore, stop
looking at the "next" task object and simply use the highest_prio.curr.

Impact: cleanup
As pointed out by Steven Rostedt. Since the arg in question is
unused, we simply change cpupri_find() to accept NULL.

cpumask_and() only initializes nr_cpu_ids bits, so the (deprecated)
first_cpu() might find one of those uninitialized bits if nr_cpu_ids
is less than NR_CPUS (as it can be for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK).

Impact: prevents panic from stack overflow on numa-capable machines.
Some of the "removal of stack hogs" changes in kernel/sched.c by using
node_to_cpumask_ptr were undone by the early cpumask API updates, and
causes a panic due to stack overflow. This patch undoes those changes
by using cpumask_of_node() which returns a 'const struct cpumask *'.
In addition, cpu_coregoup_map is replaced with cpu_coregroup_mask further
reducing stack usage. (Both of these updates removed 9 FIXME's!)
Also:
Pick up some remaining changes from the old 'cpumask_t' functions to
the new 'struct cpumask *' functions.
Optimize memory traffic by allocating each percpu local_cpu_mask on the
same node as the referring cpu.
