Binary chop with a jiffy-resync on each step to find an upper bound is
slow, so just race in a tight-ish loop to find an underestimate.If done with lots of individual steps, sometimes several hundreds of
iterations would be required, which would impose a significant overhead,
and make the initial estimate very low. By taking slowly increasing steps
there will be less overhead.E.g. an x86_64 2.67GHz could have fitted in 613 individual small delays,
but in reality should have been able to fit in a single delay 644 times
longer, so underestimated by 31 steps. To reach the equivalent of 644
small delays with the accelerating scheme now requires about 130
iterations, so has

The motivation for this patch series is that currently our OMAP calibrates
itself using the trial-and-error binary chop fallback that some other
architectures no longer need to perform. This is a lengthy process,
taking 0.2s in an environment where boot time is of great interest.Patch 2/4 has two optimisations. Firstly, it replaces the initial
repeated- doubling to find the relevant power of 2 with a tight loop that
just does as much as it can in a jiffy. Secondly, it doesn't binary chop
over an entire power of 2 range, it choses a much smaller range based on
how much it squeezed in, and failed to squeeze in, during the first stage.
Both are significant optimisations, and bring our calibration down from
23 jiffies to 5, and, in the process, often arrive at a more accurate lpj
value.The 'bands' and 'sub-logarithmic' growth may look over-engineered, but
they only cost a small level of inaccuracy in the initial guess (for all
architectures) in order to avoid the very large inaccuracies that appeared
during testing (on x86_64 architectures, and presumably others with less
metronomic operation). Note that due to the existence of the TSC and
other timers, the x86_64 will not typically use this fallback routine, but
I wanted to code defensively, able to cope with all kinds of processor
behaviours and kernel command line options.Patch 3/4 is an additional trap for the nightmare scenario where the
initial estimate is very inaccurate, possibly due to things like SMIs.
It simply retries with a larger bound.Stephen said:
I tried this patch set out on an MSM7630.

: Before:
:
: Calibrating delay loop... 681.57 BogoMIPS (lpj=3407872)
:
: After:
:
: Calibrating delay loop... 680.75 BogoMIPS (lpj=3403776)

: But the really good news is calibration time dropped from ~247ms to ~56ms.

: this to calibrate_delay_direct()? That would be even better, but this is
: definitely a boot time improvement.
:
: Or maybe we could just replace calibrate_delay_direct() with this fallback
: calculation? If __delay() is a thin wrapper around read_current_timer()
: it should work just as well (plus patch 3 makes it handle SMIs). I'll try
: that out.This patch:
... so that it can be modified more clinically.
This is almost entirely cosmetic. The only change to the operation
is that the global variable is only set once after the estimation is
completed, rather than taking on all the intermediate values. However,
there are no readers of that variable, so this change is unimportant.Signed-off-by: Phil Carmody

This kernel patch adds the ability to filter monitoring based on
container groups (cgroups). This is for use in per-cpu mode only.The cgroup to monitor is passed as a file descriptor in the pid
argument to the syscall. The file descriptor must be opened to
the cgroup name in the cgroup filesystem. For instance, if the
cgroup name is foo and cgroupfs is mounted in /cgroup, then the
file descriptor is opened to /cgroup/foo. Cgroup mode is
activated by passing PERF_FLAG_PID_CGROUP in the flags argument
to the syscall.For instance to measure in cgroup foo on CPU1 assuming
cgroupfs is mounted under /cgroup:struct perf_event_attr attr;
int cgroup_fd, fd;cgroup_fd = open("/cgroup/foo", O_RDONLY);
fd = perf_event_open(&attr, cgroup_fd, 1, -1, PERF_FLAG_PID_CGROUP);

smp: Allow on_each_cpu() to be called while early_boot_irqs_disabled status to init/main.c
lockdep: Move early boot local IRQ enable/disable status to init/main.c -
The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.Reviewed-by: Ingo Molnar

During early boot, local IRQ is disabled until IRQ subsystem is
properly initialized. During this time, no one should enable
local IRQ and some operations which usually are not allowed with
IRQ disabled, e.g. operations which might sleep or require
communications with other processors, are allowed.lockdep tracked this with early_boot_irqs_off/on() callbacks.
As other subsystems need this information too, move it to
init/main.c and make it generally available. While at it,
toggle the boolean to early_boot_irqs_disabled instead of
enabled so that it can be initialized with %false and %true
indicates the exceptional condition.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

Because the adaptive synchronize_srcu_expedited() approach has
worked very well in testing, remove the kernel parameter and
replace it by a C-preprocessor macro. If someone finds problems
with this approach, a more complex and aggressively adaptive
approach might be required.Longer term, SRCU will be merged with the other RCU implementations,
at which point synchronize_srcu_expedited() will be event driven,
just as synchronize_sched_expedited() currently is. At that point,
there will be no need for this adaptive approach.Reported-by: Linus Torvalds

This implements the API defined in which is
used for kernel, initramfs, and initrd decompression. This patch together
with the first patch is enough for XZ-compressed initramfs and initrd;
XZ-compressed kernel will need arch-specific changes.The buffering requirements described in decompress_unxz.c are stricter
than with gzip, so the relevant changes should be done to the
arch-specific code when adding support for XZ-compressed kernel.
Similarly, the heap size in arch-specific pre-boot code may need to be
increased (30 KiB is enough).The XZ decompressor needs memmove(), memeq() (memcmp() == 0), and
memzero() (memset(ptr, 0, size)), which aren't available in all
arch-specific pre-boot environments. I'm including simple versions in
decompress_unxz.c, but a cleaner solution would naturally be nicer.Signed-off-by: Lasse Collin

The call to flush_scheduled_work() in do_initcalls() is there to make
sure all works queued to system_wq by initcalls finish before the init
sections are dropped.However, the call doesn't make much sense at this point - there
already are multiple different workqueues and different subsystems are
free to create and use their own. Ordering requirements are and
should be expressed explicitly.Drop the call to prepare for the deprecation and removal of
flush_scheduled_work().Andrew suggested adding sanity check where the workqueue code checks
whether any pending or running work has the work function in the init
text section. However, checking this for running works requires the
worker to keep track of the current function being executed, and
checking only the pending works will miss most cases. As a violation
will almost always be caught by the usual page fault mechanism, I
don't think it would be worthwhile to make the workqueue code track
extra state just for this.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

A recurring complaint from CFS users is that parallel kbuild has
a negative impact on desktop interactivity. This patch
implements an idea from Linus, to automatically create task
groups. Currently, only per session autogroups are implemented,
but the patch leaves the way open for enhancement.Implementation: each task's signal struct contains an inherited
pointer to a refcounted autogroup struct containing a task group
pointer, the default for all tasks pointing to the
init_task_group. When a task calls setsid(), a new task group
is created, the process is moved into the new task group, and a
reference to the preveious task group is dropped. Child
processes inherit this task group thereafter, and increase it's
refcount. When the last thread of a process exits, the
process's reference is dropped, such that when the last process
referencing an autogroup exits, the autogroup is destroyed.At runqueue selection time, IFF a task has no cgroup assignment,
its current autogroup is used.Autogroup bandwidth is controllable via setting it's nice level
through the proc filesystem:cat /proc//autogroup
Displays the task's group and the group's nice level.
echo > /proc//autogroup
Sets the task group's shares to the weight of nice task.
Setting nice level is rate limited for !admin users due to the
abuse risk of task group locking.The feature is enabled from boot by default if
CONFIG_SCHED_AUTOGROUP=y is selected, but can be disabled via
the boot option noautogroup, and can also be turned on/off on
