e29c98d12b sched: update the sched-domains debug documentation
SCHED_DOMAIN_DEBUG mentioned in the Documentation for sched-domains
for enabling sched-domains debugging doesn't exist anymore.

Update the documentation to reflect the correct way of enabling
sched-domain debugging.

e21f5b153b sched: print module list in the "scheduling while atomic" warning
For the normal WARN_ON() etc we added a print-the-modules-list already,
which is very useful to figure out candidates for certain types of bugs.

This patch adds the same print to the "scheduling while atomic" BUG warning,
for the same reason: when we get here it's very useful to see which modules
are loaded, to narrow down the candidate code list.

d07355f5de sched: check for SD_SERIALIZE atomically in rebalance_domains()
Nothing really serious here, mainly just a matter of nit-picking :-/

From: Dmitry Adamushko <dmitry.adamushko@gmail.com>
For CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG && CONFIG_SYSCT configs, sd->flags can be altered
while being manipulated in rebalance_domains(). Let's do an atomic check.
We rely here on the atomicity of read/write accesses for aligned words.

45c01e8249 sched: prioritize non-migratable tasks over migratable ones
Dmitry Adamushko pointed out a known flaw in the rt-balancing algorithm
that could allow suboptimal balancing if a non-migratable task gets
queued behind a running migratable one.  It is discussed in this thread:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/22/296

This issue has been further exacerbated by a recent checkin to
sched-devel (git-id 5eee63a5ebc19a870ac40055c0be49457f3a89a3).

>From a pure priority standpoint, the run-queue is doing the "right"
thing. Using Dmitry's nomenclature, if T0 is on cpu1 first, and T1
wakes up at equal or lower priority (affined only to cpu1) later, it
*should* wait for T0 to finish.  However, in reality that is likely
suboptimal from a system perspective if there are other cores that
could allow T0 and T1 to run concurrently.  Since T1 can not migrate,
the only choice for higher concurrency is to try to move T0.  This is
not something we addessed in the recent rt-balancing re-work.

This patch tries to enhance the balancing algorithm by accomodating this
scenario.  It accomplishes this by incorporating the migratability of a
task into its priority calculation.  Within a numerical tsk->prio, a
non-migratable task is logically higher than a migratable one.  We
maintain this by introducing a new per-priority queue (xqueue, or
exclusive-queue) for holding non-migratable tasks.  The scheduler will
draw from the xqueue over the standard shared-queue (squeue) when
available.

There are several details for utilizing this properly.

1) During task-wake-up, we not only need to check if the priority
   preempts the current task, but we also need to check for this
   non-migratable condition.  Therefore, if a non-migratable task wakes
   up and sees an equal priority migratable task already running, it
   will attempt to preempt it *if* there is a likelyhood that the
   current task will find an immediate home.

2) Tasks only get this non-migratable "priority boost" on wake-up.  Any
   requeuing will result in the non-migratable task being queued to the
   end of the shared queue.  This is an attempt to prevent the system
   from being completely unfair to migratable tasks during things like
   SCHED_RR timeslicing.

I am sure this patch introduces potentially "odd" behavior if you
concoct a scenario where a bunch of non-migratable threads could starve
migratable ones given the right pattern.  I am not yet convinced that
this is a problem since we are talking about tasks of equal RT priority
anyway, and there never is much in the way of guarantees against
starvation under that scenario anyway. (e.g. you could come up with a
similar scenario with a specific timing environment verses an affinity
environment).  I can be convinced otherwise, but for now I think this is
"ok".

ddb2c43594 asn1: additional sanity checking during BER decoding
- Don't trust a length which is greater than the working buffer.
  An invalid length could cause overflow when calculating buffer size
  for decoding oid.

- An oid length of zero is invalid and allows for an off-by-one error when
  decoding oid because the first subid actually encodes first 2 subids.

- A primitive encoding may not have an indefinite length.

609a70ac92 FRV: ip_fast_csum() requires a memory clobber on its inline asm
ip_fast_csum() requires a memory clobber on its inline asm as it accesses
memory in a fashion that gcc can't predict.

The GCC manual says:

 If your assembler instructions access memory in an unpredictable
 fashion, add `memory' to the list of clobbered registers.  This will
 cause GCC to not keep memory values cached in registers across the
 assembler instruction and not optimize stores or loads to that memory.

The bug hasn't been noticed in FRV, but it has been seen in PA-RISC.

6637dea60e V4L/DVB (7974): fix MEDIA_TUNER && FW_LOADER build error
-tip testing found the following build failure:

  LD      .tmp_vmlinux1
  drivers/built-in.o: In function `generic_set_freq':
  tuner-xc2028.c:(.text+0xbd896): undefined reference to `request_firmware'
  tuner-xc2028.c:(.text+0xbdd7a): undefined reference to `release_firmware'
  drivers/built-in.o: In function `xc_load_fw_and_init_tuner':
  xc5000.c:(.text+0xc68e6): undefined reference to `request_firmware'
  xc5000.c:(.text+0xc6abe): undefined reference to `release_firmware'

with this config:

  http://redhat.com/~mingo/misc/config-Tue_May_20_18_11_34_CEST_2008.bad

the reason is another kconfig tool bug that has to be worked around in
the driver's Kconfig file: if FW_LOADER is selected in a second
dependency, that is not properly propagated up the dependencies.

in this case, FW_LOADER is selected from MEDIA_TUNER_XC2028:

  config MEDIA_TUNER_XC2028
        tristate "XCeive xc2028/xc3028 tuners"
        depends on VIDEO_MEDIA && I2C
        depends on HOTPLUG
        select FW_LOADER

which got selected by MEDIA_TUNER:

  config MEDIA_TUNER
        tristate
        default VIDEO_MEDIA && I2C
        depends on VIDEO_MEDIA && I2C
        select FW_LOADER if !MEDIA_TUNER_CUSTOMIZE && HOTPLUG

but the kconfig tool did not pick up this second-order dependency and
allowed CONFIG_FW_LOADER=m to be selected - in which case the build
fails.

the workaround i found was to move the select of FW_LOADER one level up,
so that the buggy kconfig tool can notice it and can act appropriately.
This problem can probably be worked around in other ways as well, i went
for the minimal fix.

Obviously, the kconfig tool should be fixed, it is not reasonable to
expect driver authors to do manual dependency resolution (that kconfig
itself already does) and uglify the Kconfig files. The kconfig tool did
nothing to warn about this situation and did not prevent this faulty
.config from being constructed.
