Right, I never liked having to fiddle with those TIF flags. Initially I
needed it because the hrtimer base lock could not nest in the rq lock.
That however is fixed these days.

Currently the only reason left to fiddle with the TIF flags is remote
wakeups. We cannot program a remote cpu's hrtimer. I've been thinking
about using the new and improved IPI function call stuff to implement
hrtimer_start_on().

However that does require that smp_call_function_single(.wait=0) works
from interrupt context - /me looks at the latest series from Jens - Yes
that does seem to be supported, good.

Here's a stab at cleaning this stuff up ...

Mihai reported test success as well.

Fix inc_rt_tasks() to not declare variable 'rq' if it's not needed.  It is

39b0fad712 cpu hotplug: Make cpu_active_map synchronization dependency clear
This goes on top of the cpu_active_map (take 2) patch.

Currently we depend on the stop_machine to provide nescessesary
synchronization for the cpu_active_map updates.
As Dmitry Adamushko pointed this is fragile and is not much clearer
than the previous scheme. In other words we do not want to depend on
the internal stop machine operation here.
So make the synchronization rules clear by doing synchronize_sched()
after clearing out cpu active bit.

Tested on quad-Core2 with:

   while true; do
      for i in 1 2 3; do
        echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$i/online
      done
      for i in 1 2 3; do
        echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$i/online
      done
   done
and
   stress -c 200

No lockdep, preempt or other complaints.

e761b77252 cpu hotplug, sched: Introduce cpu_active_map and redo sched domain managment (take 2)
This is based on Linus' idea of creating cpu_active_map that prevents
scheduler load balancer from migrating tasks to the cpu that is going
down.

It allows us to simplify domain management code and avoid unecessary
domain rebuilds during cpu hotplug event handling.

Please ignore the cpusets part for now. It needs some more work in order
to avoid crazy lock nesting. Although I did simplfy and unify domain
reinitialization logic. We now simply call partition_sched_domains() in
all the cases. This means that we're using exact same code paths as in
cpusets case and hence the test below cover cpusets too.
Cpuset changes to make rebuild_sched_domains() callable from various
contexts are in the separate patch (right next after this one).

This not only boots but also easily handles
	while true; do make clean; make -j 8; done
and
	while true; do on-off-cpu 1; done
at the same time.
(on-off-cpu 1 simple does echo 0/1 > /sys/.../cpu1/online thing).

Suprisingly the box (dual-core Core2) is quite usable. In fact I'm typing
this on right now in gnome-terminal and things are moving just fine.

Also this is running with most of the debug features enabled (lockdep,
mutex, etc) no BUG_ONs or lockdep complaints so far.

I believe I addressed all of the Dmitry's comments for original Linus'
version. I changed both fair and rt balancer to mask out non-active cpus.
And replaced cpu_is_offline() with !cpu_active() in the main scheduler
code where it made sense (to me).

7ebefa8cee sched: rework of "prioritize non-migratable tasks over migratable ones"
(1) handle in a generic way all cases when a newly woken-up task is
not migratable (not just a corner case when "rt_se->nr_cpus_allowed ==
1")

(2) if current is to be preempted, then make sure "p" will be picked
up by pick_next_task_rt().
i.e. move task's group at the head of its list as well.

currently, it's not a case for the group-scheduling case as described
here: http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0807.0/0134.html

2464a609de ftrace: do not trace library functions
make function tracing more robust: do not trace library functions.

We've already got a sizable list of exceptions:

 ifdef CONFIG_FTRACE
 # Do not profile string.o, since it may be used in early boot or vdso
 CFLAGS_REMOVE_string.o = -pg
 # Also do not profile any debug utilities
 CFLAGS_REMOVE_spinlock_debug.o = -pg
 CFLAGS_REMOVE_list_debug.o = -pg
 CFLAGS_REMOVE_debugobjects.o = -pg
 CFLAGS_REMOVE_find_next_bit.o = -pg
 CFLAGS_REMOVE_cpumask.o = -pg
 CFLAGS_REMOVE_bitmap.o = -pg
 endif

... and the pattern has been that random library functionality showed
up in ftrace's critical path (outside of its recursion check), causing
hard to debug lockups.

So be a bit defensive about it and exclude all lib/*.o functions by
default. It's not that they are overly interesting for tracing purposes
anyway. Specific ones can still be traced, in an opt-in manner.

  # Do not profile debug utilities
  CFLAGS_REMOVE_tsc_64.o = -pg
  CFLAGS_REMOVE_tsc_32.o = -pg

those two files got unified meanwhile - so the dont-profile annotation
got lost. The proper rule is:

  CFLAGS_REMOVE_tsc.o = -pg

i guess this could have been caught sooner if the CFLAGS_REMOVE* kbuild
rule aborted the build if it met a target that does not exist anymore?

666f164f4f fix dangling zombie when new parent ignores children
This fixes an arcane bug that we think was a regression introduced
by commit b2b2cbc4b2.  When a parent
ignores SIGCHLD (or uses SA_NOCLDWAIT), its children would self-reap
but they don't if it's using ptrace on them.  When the parent thread
later exits and ceases to ptrace a child but leaves other live
threads in the parent's thread group, any zombie children are left
dangling.  The fix makes them self-reap then, as they would have
done earlier if ptrace had not been in use.

14dd0b8141 do_wait: return security_task_wait() error code in place of -ECHILD
This reverts the effect of commit f2cc3eb133
"do_wait: fix security checks".  That change reverted the effect of commit
7324328446.  The rationale for the original
commit still stands.  The inconsistent treatment of children hidden by
ptrace was an unintended omission in the original change and in no way
invalidates its purpose.

This makes do_wait return the error returned by security_task_wait()
(usually -EACCES) in place of -ECHILD when there are some children the
caller would be able to wait for if not for the permission failure.  A
permission error will give the user a clue to look for security policy
problems, rather than for mysterious wait bugs.

f470021adb ptrace children revamp
ptrace no longer fiddles with the children/sibling links, and the
old ptrace_children list is gone.  Now ptrace, whether of one's own
children or another's via PTRACE_ATTACH, just uses the new ptraced
list instead.

There should be no user-visible difference that matters.  The only
change is the order in which do_wait() sees multiple stopped
children and stopped ptrace attachees.  Since wait_task_stopped()
was changed earlier so it no longer reorders the children list, we
already know this won't cause any new problems.

98abed0200 do_wait reorganization
This breaks out the guts of do_wait into three subfunctions.
The control flow is less nonobvious without so much goto.
do_wait_thread and ptrace_do_wait contain the main work of the outer loop.
wait_consider_task contains the main work of the inner loop.

c0420ad2ca [PATCH] ocfs2: fix oops in mmap_truncate testing
This patch fixes a mmap_truncate bug which was found by ocfs2 test suite.

In an ocfs2 cluster more than 1 node, run program mmap_truncate, which races
mmap writes and truncates from multiple processes. While the test is
running, a stat from another node forces writeout, causing an oops in
ocfs2_get_block() because it sees a buffer to write which isn't allocated.

This patch fixed the bug by clear dirty and uptodate bits in buffer, leave
the buffer unmapped and return.

Fix is suggested by Mark Fasheh, and I code up the patch.

01a5bba576 Fix FADT parsing
The (1.0 inherited) separate length fields in the FADT are byte granular.
Further, PM1a/b may have distinct lengths and live in distinct address spaces.
 acpi_tb_convert_fadt() should account for all of these conditions.

Apart from these changes I'm puzzled by the fact that, not just for
acpi_gbl_xpm1{a,b}_enable, acpi_hw_low_level_{read,write}() get an explicit
size passed rather than using the size found in the passed GAS.  What happens
on a platform that defines PM1{a,b} wider than 16 bits?  Of course,
acpi_hw_low_level_{read,write}() at present are entirely un-prepared to deal
with sizes other than 8, 16, or 32, not to speak of a non-zero bit_offset or
access_width...
