13 years agosched: Fix poor interactivity on UP systems due to group scheduler nice tune bug

sched: Fix poor interactivity on UP systems due to group scheduler nice tune bug

Michael Witten and Christian Kujau reported that the autogroup
scheduling feature hurts interactivity on their UP systems.

It turns out that this is an older bug in the group scheduling code,
and the wider appeal provided by the autogroup feature exposed it
more prominently.

When on UP with FAIR_GROUP_SCHED enabled, tune shares
only affect tg->shares, but is not reflected in
tg->se->load. The reason is that update_cfs_shares()
does nothing on UP.

So introduce update_cfs_shares() for UP && FAIR_GROUP_SCHED.

This issue was found when enable autogroup scheduling was enabled,
but it is an older bug that also exists on cgroup.cpu on UP.

BUILD_BUG_ON: make it handle more cases

BUILD_BUG_ON used to use the optimizer to do code elimination or fail
at link time; it was changed to first the size of a negative array (a
nicer compile time error), then (in
8c87df457cb58fe75b9b893007917cf8095660a0) to a bitfield.

This forced us to change some non-constant cases to MAYBE_BUILD_BUG_ON();
as Jan points out in that commit, it didn't work as intended anyway.

bitfields: needs a literal constant at parse time, and can't be put under
"if (__builtin_constant_p(x))" for example.
negative array: can handle anything, but if the compiler can't tell it's
a constant, silently has no effect.
link time: breaks link if the compiler can't determine the value, but the
linker output is not usually as informative as a compiler error.

If we use the negative-array-size method *and* the link time trick,
we get the ability to use BUILD_BUG_ON() under __builtin_constant_p()
branches, and maximal ability for the compiler to detect errors at
build time.

We also document it thoroughly.

perf: perf_event_exit_task_context: s/rcu_dereference/rcu_dereference_raw/

In theory, almost every user of task->child->perf_event_ctxp[]
is wrong. find_get_context() can install the new context at any
moment, we need read_barrier_depends().

dbe08d82ce3967ccdf459f7951d02589cf967300 "perf: Fix
find_get_context() vs perf_event_exit_task() race" added
rcu_dereference() into perf_event_exit_task_context() to make
the precedent, but this makes __rcu_dereference_check() unhappy.
Use rcu_dereference_raw() to shut up the warning.

the function as Thumb; the instructions are in reality 2 or 4 byte on 2

This patch extends rtc_timer_enqueue so it catches errors from the hardware

handling, it also internalizes the management of the timer->enabled bit

Also makes rtc_timer_enqueue and rtc_timer_remove static.

xen: p2m: correctly initialize partial p2m leaf

After changing the p2m mapping to a tree by

  commit 58e05027b530ff081ecea68e38de8d59db8f87e0
    xen: convert p2m to a 3 level tree

and trying to boot a DomU with 615MB of memory, the following crash was
observed in the dump:

kernel direct mapping tables up to 26f00000 @ 1ec4000-1fff000
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
IP: [<c0107397>] xen_set_pte+0x27/0x60
*pdpt = 0000000000000000 *pde = 0000000000000000

Adding further debug statements showed that when trying to set up
pfn=0x26700 the returned mapping was invalid.

pfn=0x266ff calling set_pte(0xc1fe77f8, 0x6b3003)
pfn=0x26700 calling set_pte(0xc1fe7800, 0x3)

Although the last_pfn obtained from the startup info is 0x26700, which
should in turn not be hit, the additional 8MB which are added as extra
memory normally seem to be ok. This lead to looking into the initial
p2m tree construction, which uses the smaller value and assuming that
there is other code handling the extra memory.

When the p2m tree is set up, the leaves are directly pointed to the
array which the domain builder set up. But if the mapping is not on a
boundary that fits into one p2m page, this will result in the last leaf
being only partially valid. And as the invalid entries are not
initialized in that case, things go badly wrong.

I am trying to fix that by checking whether the current leaf is a
complete map and if not, allocate a completely new page and copy only
the valid pointers there. This may not be the most efficient or elegant
solution, but at least it seems to allow me booting DomUs with memory
assignments all over the range.
