Oleg Nesterov 3da1c84c00 workqueues: make get_online_cpus() useable for work->func()
workqueue_cpu_callback(CPU_DEAD) flushes cwq->thread under
cpu_maps_update_begin().  This means that the multithreaded workqueues
can't use get_online_cpus() due to the possible deadlock, very bad and
very old problem.

Introduce the new state, CPU_POST_DEAD, which is called after
cpu_hotplug_done() but before cpu_maps_update_done().

Change workqueue_cpu_callback() to use CPU_POST_DEAD instead of CPU_DEAD.
This means that create/destroy functions can't rely on get_online_cpus()
any longer and should take cpu_add_remove_lock instead.

Oleg Nesterov 8616a89ab7 workqueues: schedule_on_each_cpu: use flush_work()
Change schedule_on_each_cpu() to use flush_work() instead of
flush_workqueue(), this way we don't wait for other work_struct's which
can be queued meanwhile.

Oleg Nesterov db70089722 workqueues: implement flush_work()
Most of users of flush_workqueue() can be changed to use cancel_work_sync(),
but sometimes we really need to wait for the completion and cancelling is not
an option. schedule_on_each_cpu() is good example.

Add the new helper, flush_work(work), which waits for the completion of the
specific work_struct. More precisely, it "flushes" the result of of the last
queue_work() which is visible to the caller.

For example, this code

	queue_work(wq, work);
	/* WINDOW */
	queue_work(wq, work);

	flush_work(work);

doesn't necessary work "as expected". What can happen in the WINDOW above is

	- wq starts the execution of work->func()

	- the caller migrates to another CPU

now, after the 2nd queue_work() this work is active on the previous CPU, and
at the same time it is queued on another. In this case flush_work(work) may
return before the first work->func() completes.

It is trivial to add another helper

	int flush_work_sync(struct work_struct *work)
	{
		return flush_work(work) || wait_on_work(work);
	}

which works "more correctly", but it has to iterate over all CPUs and thus
it much slower than flush_work().

Oleg Nesterov 1a4d9b0aa0 workqueues: insert_work: use "list_head *" instead of "int tail"
insert_work() inserts the new work_struct before or after cwq->worklist,
depending on the "int tail" parameter. Change it to accept "list_head *"
instead, this shrinks .text a bit and allows us to insert the barrier
after specific work_struct.

Oleg Nesterov a94e2d408e coredump: kill mm->core_done
Now that we have core_state->dumper list we can use it to wake up the
sub-threads waiting for the coredump completion.

This uglifies the code and .text grows by 47 bytes, but otoh mm_struct
lessens by sizeof(struct completion).  Also, with this change we can
decouple exit_mm() from the coredumping code.

Oleg Nesterov b564daf806 coredump: construct the list of coredumping threads at startup time
binfmt->core_dump() has to iterate over the all threads in system in order
to find the coredumping threads and construct the list using the
GFP_ATOMIC allocations.

With this patch each thread allocates the list node on exit_mm()'s stack and
adds itself to the list.

This allows us to do further changes:

	- simplify ->core_dump()

	- change exit_mm() to clear ->mm first, then wait for ->core_done.
	  this makes the coredumping process visible to oom_kill

	- kill mm->core_done

Move mm->core_waiters into "struct core_state" allocated on stack.  This
shrinks mm_struct a little bit and allows further changes.

This patch mostly does s/core_waiters/core_state.  The only essential
change is that coredump_wait() must clear mm->core_state before return.

is fixed by the next patch.

Oleg Nesterov 246bb0b1de kill PF_BORROWED_MM in favour of PF_KTHREAD
Kill PF_BORROWED_MM.  Change use_mm/unuse_mm to not play with ->flags, and
do s/PF_BORROWED_MM/PF_KTHREAD/ for a couple of other users.

No functional changes yet.  But this allows us to do further
fixes/cleanups.

oom_kill/ptrace/etc often check "p->mm != NULL" to filter out the
kthreads, this is wrong because of use_mm().  The problem with
PF_BORROWED_MM is that we need task_lock() to avoid races.  With this
patch we can check PF_KTHREAD directly, or use a simple lockless helper:

	/* The result must not be dereferenced !!! */
	struct mm_struct *__get_task_mm(struct task_struct *tsk)
	{
		if (tsk->flags & PF_KTHREAD)
			return NULL;
		return tsk->mm;
	}

Note also ecard_task().  It runs with ->mm != NULL, but it's the kernel
thread without PF_BORROWED_MM.

Oleg Nesterov 7b34e4283c introduce PF_KTHREAD flag
Introduce the new PF_KTHREAD flag to mark the kernel threads.  It is set
by INIT_TASK() and copied to the forked childs (we could set it in
kthreadd() along with PF_NOFREEZE instead).

daemonize() was changed as well.  In that case testing of PF_KTHREAD is
racy, but daemonize() is hopeless anyway.

This flag is cleared in do_execve(), before search_binary_handler().
Probably not the best place, we can do this in exec_mmap() or in
start_thread(), or clear it along with PF_FORKNOEXEC.  But I think this
doesn't matter in practice, and if do_execve() fails kthread should die
soon.

Oleg Nesterov 3d749b9e67 ptrace: simplify ptrace_stop()->sigkill_pending() path
1. SIGKILL can't be blocked, remove this check from sigkill_pending().

2. When ptrace_stop() sees sigkill_pending() == T, it can just return.
   Kill "int killed" and simplify the code. This also is more correct,
   the tracer shouldn't see us in TASK_TRACED if we are not going to
   stop.

I strongly believe this code needs further changes.  We should do the "was
this task killed" check unconditionally, currently it depends on
arch_ptrace_stop_needed().  On the other hand, sigkill_pending() isn't
very clever.  If the task was killed tkill(SIGKILL), the signal can be
already dequeued if the caller is do_exit().

In the switch to configurable HZ in 2.6, the treatment of the si_utime and
si_stime fields that are exposed to userland via the siginfo structure
looks to have been botched.  As things stand, these fields report times in
units of HZ, so that userland gets information that varies depending on
the HZ that the kernel was configured with.  This patch changes the
reported values to use USER_HZ units.

Oleg Nesterov 92413d771e signals: dequeue_signal: don't check SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT when setting SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED
dequeue_signal() checks SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT before setting
SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED.  This was added by
788e05a67c a long ago to avoid the
coredump/SIGSTOP race.

Since then the related code was changed, and now this subtle check is both
incomplete and unneeded at the same time.  It is incomplete because
nowadays exec() doesn't set SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT, so in fact we should check
signal_group_exit() to avoid a similar race.  Fortunately, we doesn't need
the check at all.  The only function which relies on SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED
is do_signal_stop(), and it ignores this flag if signal_group_exit() == T,
this covers the SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT case.

Miao Xie f9b4fb8dab cpusets: update task's cpus_allowed and mems_allowed after CPU/NODE offline/online
The bug is that a task may run on the cpu/node which is not in its
cpuset.cpus/ cpuset.mems.

It can be reproduced by the following commands:
-----------------------------------
# mkdir /dev/cpuset
# mount -t cpuset xxx /dev/cpuset
# mkdir /dev/cpuset/0
# echo 0-1 > /dev/cpuset/0/cpus
# echo 0 > /dev/cpuset/0/mems
# echo $$ > /dev/cpuset/0/tasks
# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
-----------------------------------

There is only CPU0 in cpuset.cpus, but the task in this cpuset runs on
both CPU0 and CPU1.

It is because the task's cpu_allowed didn't get updated after we did CPU
offline/online manipulation.  Similar for mem_allowed.

This patch fixes this bug expect for root cpuset.  Because there is a
problem about root cpuset, in that whether it is necessary to update all
the tasks in root cpuset or not after cpu/node offline/online.

If updating, some kernel threads which is bound into a specified cpu will
be unbound.

If not updating, there is a bug in root cpuset.  This bug is also caused
by offline/online manipulation.  For example, there is a dual-cpu machine.
 we create a sub cpuset in root cpuset and assign 1 to its cpus.  And then
we attach some tasks into this sub cpuset.  After this, we offline CPU1.
Now, the tasks in this new cpuset are moved into root cpuset automatically
because there is no cpu in sub cpuset.  Then we online CPU1, we find all
the tasks which doesn't belong to root cpuset originally just run on CPU0.

Maybe we need to add a flag in the task_struct to mark which task can't be
unbound?

Serge E. Hallyn e885dcde75 cgroup_clone: use pid of newly created task for new cgroup
cgroup_clone creates a new cgroup with the pid of the task.  This works
correctly for unshare, but for clone cgroup_clone is called from
copy_namespaces inside copy_process, which happens before the new pid is
created.  As a result, the new cgroup was created with current's pid.
This patch:

	1. Moves the call inside copy_process to after the new pid
	   is created
	2. Passes the struct pid into ns_cgroup_clone (as it is not
	   yet attached to the task)
	3. Passes a name from ns_cgroup_clone() into cgroup_clone()
	   so as to keep cgroup_clone() itself simpler
	4. Uses pid_vnr() to get the process id value, so that the
	   pid used to name the new cgroup is always the pid as it
	   would be known to the task which did the cloning or
	   unsharing.  I think that is the most intuitive thing to
	   do.  This way, task t1 does clone(CLONE_NEWPID) to get
	   t2, which does clone(CLONE_NEWPID) to get t3, then the
	   cgroup for t3 will be named for the pid by which t2 knows
	   t3.

(Thanks to Dan Smith for finding the main bug)

Changelog:
	June 11: Incorporate Paul Menage's feedback:  don't pass
	         NULL to ns_cgroup_clone from unshare, and reduce
		 patch size by using 'nodename' in cgroup_clone.

Paul Menage 856c13aa1f cgroup files: convert res_counter_write() to be a cgroups write_string() handler
Currently res_counter_write() is a raw file handler even though it's
ultimately taking a number, since in some cases it wants to
pre-process the string when converting it to a number.

This patch converts res_counter_write() from a raw file handler to a
write_string() handler; this allows some of the boilerplate
copying/locking/checking to be removed, and simplies the cleanup path,
since these functions are now performed by the cgroups framework.

This patch contains cleanups suggested by reviewers for the recent
write_string() patchset:

- pair cgroup_lock_live_group() with cgroup_unlock() in cgroup.c for
  clarity, rather than directly unlocking cgroup_mutex.

- make the return type of cgroup_lock_live_group() a bool

- use a #define'd constant for the local buffer size in read/write functions

Paul Menage e788e066c6 cgroup files: move the release_agent file to use typed handlers
Adds cgroup_release_agent_write() and cgroup_release_agent_show()
methods to handle writing/reading the path to a cgroup hierarchy's
release agent. As a result, cgroup_common_file_read() is now unnecessary.

As part of the change, a previously-tolerated race in
cgroup_release_agent() is avoided by copying the current
release_agent_path prior to calling call_usermode_helper().

Paul Menage db3b14978a cgroup files: add write_string cgroup control file method
This patch adds a write_string() method for cgroups control files. The
semantics are that a buffer is copied from userspace to kernelspace
and the handler function invoked on that buffer.  The buffer is
guaranteed to be nul-terminated, and no longer than max_write_len
(defaulting to 64 bytes if unspecified). Later patches will convert
existing raw file write handlers in control group subsystems to use
this method.

Srinivasa D S ef53d9c5e4 kprobes: improve kretprobe scalability with hashed locking
Currently list of kretprobe instances are stored in kretprobe object (as
used_instances,free_instances) and in kretprobe hash table.  We have one
global kretprobe lock to serialise the access to these lists.  This causes
only one kretprobe handler to execute at a time.  Hence affects system
performance, particularly on SMP systems and when return probe is set on
lot of functions (like on all systemcalls).

Solution proposed here gives fine-grain locks that performs better on SMP
system compared to present kretprobe implementation.

Solution:

 1) Instead of having one global lock to protect kretprobe instances
    present in kretprobe object and kretprobe hash table.  We will have
    two locks, one lock for protecting kretprobe hash table and another
    lock for kretporbe object.

 2) We hold lock present in kretprobe object while we modify kretprobe
    instance in kretprobe object and we hold per-hash-list lock while
    modifying kretprobe instances present in that hash list.  To prevent
    deadlock, we never grab a per-hash-list lock while holding a kretprobe
    lock.

 3) We can remove used_instances from struct kretprobe, as we can
    track used instances of kretprobe instances using kretprobe hash
    table.

Time duration for kernel compilation ("make -j 8") on a 8-way ppc64 system
with return probes set on all systemcalls looks like this.

All ratelimit user use same jiffies and burst params, so some messages

For example:
a call printk_ratelimit(5 * HZ, 1)
b call printk_ratelimit(5 * HZ, 1) before the 5*HZ timeout of a, then b will
will be supressed.

- rewrite __ratelimit, and use a ratelimit_state as parameter.  Thanks for
  hints from andrew.

- Add WARN_ON_RATELIMIT, update rcupreempt.h

- remove __printk_ratelimit

- use __ratelimit in net_ratelimit

KOSAKI Motohiro ac331d158e call_usermodehelper(): increase reliability
Presently call_usermodehelper_setup() uses GFP_ATOMIC.  but it can return
NULL _very_ easily.

GFP_ATOMIC is needed only when we can't sleep.  and, GFP_KERNEL is robust
and better.

thus, I add gfp_mask argument to call_usermodehelper_setup().

So, its callers pass the gfp_t as below:

call_usermodehelper() and call_usermodehelper_keys():
	depend on 'wait' argument.
call_usermodehelper_pipe():
	always GFP_KERNEL because always run under process context.
orderly_poweroff():
	pass to GFP_ATOMIC because may run under interrupt context.

Adrian Bunk b03f6489f9 build kernel/profile.o only when requested
Build kernel/profile.o only if CONFIG_PROFILING is enabled.

This makes CONFIG_PROFILING=n kernels smaller.

As a bonus, some profile_tick() calls and one branch from schedule() are
now eliminated with CONFIG_PROFILING=n (but I doubt these are
measurable effects).

This patch changes the effects of CONFIG_PROFILING=n, but I don't think
having more than two choices would be the better choice.

This patch also adds the name of the first parameter to the prototypes
of profile_{hits,tick}() since I anyway had to add them for the dummy

values accepted for this parameter are function-specific and defined in the
inotify.h header.  Here the values must match the O_* flags, though.  In this
patch CLOEXEC support is introduced.

The following test must be adjusted for architectures other than x86 and
x86-64 and in case the syscall numbers changed.

Ulrich Drepper aaca0bdca5 flag parameters: paccept
This patch is by far the most complex in the series.  It adds a new syscall
paccept.  This syscall differs from accept in that it adds (at the userlevel)
two additional parameters:

- a signal mask
- a flags value

The flags parameter can be used to set flag like SOCK_CLOEXEC.  This is
imlpemented here as well.  Some people argued that this is a property which
should be inherited from the file desriptor for the server but this is against
POSIX.  Additionally, we really want the signal mask parameter as well
(similar to pselect, ppoll, etc).  So an interface change in inevitable.

The flag value is the same as for socket and socketpair.  I think diverging
here will only create confusion.  Similar to the filesystem interfaces where
the use of the O_* constants differs, it is acceptable here.

The signal mask is handled as for pselect etc.  The mask is temporarily
installed for the thread and removed before the call returns.  I modeled the
code after pselect.  If there is a problem it's likely also in pselect.

For architectures which use socketcall I maintained this interface instead of
adding a system call.  The symmetry shouldn't be broken.

The following test must be adjusted for architectures other than x86 and
x86-64 and in case the syscall numbers changed.

Uwe Kleine-König 82736f4d1d generic irqs: handle failure of irqchip->set_type in setup_irq
set_type returns an int indicating success or failure, but up to now
setup_irq ignores that.

In my case this resulted in a machine hang:

gpio-keys requested IRQF_TRIGGER_RISING | IRQF_TRIGGER_FALLING, but
arm/ns9xxx can only trigger on one direction so set_type didn't touch
the configuration which happens do default to a level sensitiveness and
returned -EINVAL.  setup_irq ignored that and unmasked the irq.  This
resulted in an endless triggering of the gpio-key interrupt service
routine which effectively killed the machine.

With this patch applied setup_irq propagates the error to the caller.

Note that before in the case

	chip && !chip->set_type && !chip->name

a NULL pointer was feed to printk.  This is fixed, too.

David Brownell 77437fd4e6 pm: boot time suspend selftest
Boot-time test for system suspend states (STR or standby).  The generic
RTC framework triggers wakeup alarms, which are used to exit those states.

  - Measures some aspects of suspend time ... this uses "jiffies" until
    someone converts it to use a timebase that works properly even while
    timer IRQs are disabled.

  - Triggered by a command line parameter.  By default nothing even
    vaguely troublesome will happen, but "test_suspend=mem" will give
    you a brief STR test during system boot.  (Or you may need to use
    "test_suspend=standby" instead, if your hardware needs that.)

This isn't without problems.  It fires early enough during boot that for
example both PCMCIA and MMC stacks have misbehaved.  The workaround in
those cases was to boot without such media cards inserted.

Andrew G. Morgan ab763c7112 security: filesystem capabilities refactor kernel code
To date, we've tried hard to confine filesystem support for capabilities
to the security modules.  This has left a lot of the code in
kernel/capability.c in a state where it looks like it supports something
that filesystem support for capabilities actually suppresses when the LSM
security/commmoncap.c code runs.  What is left is a lot of code that uses
sub-optimal locking in the main kernel

With this change we refactor the main kernel code and make it explicit
which locks are needed and that the only remaining kernel races in this
area are associated with non-filesystem capability code.

Mel Gorman a1e78772d7 hugetlb: reserve huge pages for reliable MAP_PRIVATE hugetlbfs mappings until fork()
This patch reserves huge pages at mmap() time for MAP_PRIVATE mappings in
a similar manner to the reservations taken for MAP_SHARED mappings.  The
reserve count is accounted both globally and on a per-VMA basis for
private mappings.  This guarantees that a process that successfully calls
mmap() will successfully fault all pages in the future unless fork() is
called.

The characteristics of private mappings of hugetlbfs files behaviour after
this patch are;

1. The process calling mmap() is guaranteed to succeed all future faults until
   it forks().
2. On fork(), the parent may die due to SIGKILL on writes to the private
   mapping if enough pages are not available for the COW. For reasonably
   reliable behaviour in the face of a small huge page pool, children of
   hugepage-aware processes should not reference the mappings; such as
   might occur when fork()ing to exec().
3. On fork(), the child VMAs inherit no reserves. Reads on pages already
   faulted by the parent will succeed. Successful writes will depend on enough
   huge pages being free in the pool.
4. Quotas of the hugetlbfs mount are checked at reserve time for the mapper
   and at fault time otherwise.

Before this patch, all reads or writes in the child potentially needs page
allocations that can later lead to the death of the parent.  This applies
to reads and writes of uninstantiated pages as well as COW.  After the
patch it is only a write to an instantiated page that causes problems.

Rusty Russell 3a642e99ba modules: Take a shortcut for checking if an address is in a module
This patch keeps track of the boundaries of module allocation, in
order to speed up module_text_address().

Inspired by Arjan's version, which required arch-specific defines:

	Various pieces of the kernel (lockdep, latencytop, etc) tend
	to store backtraces, sometimes at a relatively high
	frequency. In itself this isn't a big performance deal (after
	all you're using diagnostics features), but there have been
	some complaints from people who have over 100 modules loaded
	that this is a tad too slow.

	This is due to the new backtracer code which looks at every
	slot on the stack to see if it's a kernel/module text address,
	so that's 1024 slots.  1024 times 100 modules... that's a lot
	of list walking.

This shrinks module.o and each *.ko file.

And finally, structure members which hold length of module
code (four such members there) and count of symbols
are converted from longs to ints.

We cannot possibly have a module where 32 bits won't
be enough to hold such counts.

For one, module loading checks module size for sanity
before loading, so such insanely big module will fail
that test first.

This allow to dynamically generate attributes and share show/store
functions between attributes. Right now most attributes are generated
by special macros and lots of duplicated code. With the attribute
passed it's instead possible to attach some data to the attribute

I need this for the dynamically generated bank attributes in the x86
machine check code, but it'll allow some further cleanups.

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.

Mike Travis 65c0118453 cpumask: Replace cpumask_of_cpu with cpumask_of_cpu_ptr
* This patch replaces the dangerous lvalue version of cpumask_of_cpu
    with new cpumask_of_cpu_ptr macros.  These are patterned after the
    node_to_cpumask_ptr macros.

    In general terms, if there is a cpumask_of_cpu_map[] then a pointer to
    the cpumask_of_cpu_map[cpu] entry is used.  The cpumask_of_cpu_map
    is provided when there is a large NR_CPUS count, reducing
    greatly the amount of code generated and stack space used for
    cpumask_of_cpu().  The pointer to the cpumask_t value is needed for
    calling set_cpus_allowed_ptr() to reduce the amount of stack space
    needed to pass the cpumask_t value.

    If there isn't a cpumask_of_cpu_map[], then a temporary variable is
    declared and filled in with value from cpumask_of_cpu(cpu) as well as
    a pointer variable pointing to this temporary variable.  Afterwards,
    the pointer is used to reference the cpumask value.  The compiler
    will optimize out the extra dereference through the pointer as well
    as the stack space used for the pointer, resulting in identical code.

    A good example of the orthogonal usages is in net/sunrpc/svc.c:

	case SVC_POOL_PERCPU:
	{
		unsigned int cpu = m->pool_to[pidx];
		cpumask_of_cpu_ptr(cpumask, cpu);

		*oldmask = current->cpus_allowed;
		set_cpus_allowed_ptr(current, cpumask);
		return 1;
	}
	case SVC_POOL_PERNODE:
	{
		unsigned int node = m->pool_to[pidx];
		node_to_cpumask_ptr(nodecpumask, node);

		*oldmask = current->cpus_allowed;
		set_cpus_allowed_ptr(current, nodecpumask);
		return 1;
	}

Thomas Gleixner b8f8c3cf0a nohz: prevent tick stop outside of the idle loop
Jack Ren and Eric Miao tracked down the following long standing
problem in the NOHZ code:

	scheduler switch to idle task
	enable interrupts

Window starts here

	----> interrupt happens (does not set NEED_RESCHED)
	      	irq_exit() stops the tick

	----> interrupt happens (does set NEED_RESCHED)

	return from schedule()
	
	cpu_idle(): preempt_disable();

Window ends here

The interrupts can happen at any point inside the race window. The
first interrupt stops the tick, the second one causes the scheduler to
rerun and switch away from idle again and we end up with the tick
disabled.

The fact that it needs two interrupts where the first one does not set
NEED_RESCHED and the second one does made the bug obscure and extremly
hard to reproduce and analyse. Kudos to Jack and Eric.

Solution: Limit the NOHZ functionality to the idle loop to make sure
that we can not run into such a situation ever again.

cpu_idle()
{
	preempt_disable();

	while(1) {
		 tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(1); <- tell NOHZ code that we
		 			          are in the idle loop

		 while (!need_resched())
		       halt();

		 tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(); <- disables NOHZ mode
		 preempt_enable_no_resched();
		 schedule();
		 preempt_disable();
	}
}

In hindsight we should have done this forever, but ... 

/me grabs a large brown paperbag.

Max Krasnyansky 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

   stress -c 200

Max Krasnyansky 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).
