Commit 3105b86a9f ("mm: sched: numa: Control enabling and disabling of
NUMA balancing if !SCHED_DEBUG") defined numabalancing_enabled to
control the enabling and disabling of automatic NUMA balancing, but it
is never used.
I believe the intention was to use this in place of sched_feat_numa(NUMA).
Currently, if SCHED_DEBUG is not defined, sched_feat_numa(NUMA) will
never be changed from the initial "false".

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in
the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include)
that don't really have a specific maintainer.

David reported that the HRTICK sched feature was borken; which was enough
motivation for me to finally fix it ;-)
We should not allow hrtimer code to do softirq wakeups while holding scheduler
locks. The hrtimer code only needs this when we accidentally try to program an
expired time. We don't much care about those anyway since we have the regular
tick to fall back to.

Pull timer core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The timer changes contain:
- posix timer code consolidation and fixes for odd corner cases
- sched_clock implementation moved from ARM to core code to avoid
duplication by other architectures
- alarm timer updates
- clocksource and clockevents unregistration facilities
- clocksource/events support for new hardware
- precise nanoseconds RTC readout (Xen feature)
- generic support for Xen suspend/resume oddities
- the usual lot of fixes and cleanups all over the place
The parts which touch other areas (ARM/XEN) have been coordinated with
the relevant maintainers. Though this results in an handful of
trivial to solve merge conflicts, which we preferred over nasty cross
tree merge dependencies.
The patches which have been committed in the last few days are bug
fixes plus the posix timer lot. The latter was in akpms queue and
next for quite some time; they just got forgotten and Frederic
collected them last minute."

xen: Remove clock_was_set() call in the resume path
hrtimers: Support resuming with two or more CPUs online (but stopped)

...
When tsk->signal->cputimer->running is 1, signal->cputimer (i.e. per process
timer account) and tsk->sum_sched_runtime (i.e. per thread timer account)
increase at the same pace because update_curr() increases both accounting.
However, there is one exception. When thread exiting, __exit_signal() turns
over task's sum_shced_runtime to sig->sum_sched_runtime, but it doesn't stop
signal->cputimer accounting.
This inconsistency makes POSIX timer wake up too early. This patch fixes it.

but that cause kbuild performance drop 6% on every Intel machine, and

We need to initialize the se.avg.{decay_count, load_avg_contrib} for a
new forked task. Otherwise random values of above variables cause a
mess when a new task is enqueued:
enqueue_task_fair
enqueue_entity
enqueue_entity_load_avg
and make fork balancing imbalance due to incorrect load_avg_contrib.
Further more, Morten Rasmussen notice some tasks were not launched at
once after created. So Paul and Peter suggest giving a start value for
new task runnable avg time same as sched_slice().

I have faced a sequence where the Idle Load Balance was sometime not
triggered for a while on my platform, in the following scenario:
CPU 0 and CPU 1 are running tasks and CPU 2 is idle
CPU 1 kicks the Idle Load Balance
CPU 1 selects CPU 2 as the new Idle Load Balancer
CPU 2 sets NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK for CPU 2
CPU 2 sends a reschedule IPI to CPU 2
While CPU 3 wakes up, CPU 0 or CPU 1 migrates a waking up task A on CPU 2
CPU 2 finally wakes up, runs task A and discards the Idle Load Balance
task A quickly goes back to sleep (before a tick occurs on CPU 2)
CPU 2 goes back to idle with NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK set
Whenever CPU 2 will be selected as the ILB, no reschedule IPI will be sent
because NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK is already set and no Idle Load Balance will be
performed.
We must wait for the sched softirq to be raised on CPU 2 thanks to another
part the kernel to come back to clear NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK.
The proposed solution clears NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK in schedule_ipi if
we can't raise the sched_softirq for the Idle Load Balance.
Change since V1:
- move the clear of NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK in got_nohz_idle_kick if the ILB
can't run on this CPU (as suggested by Peter)

While computing the cputime delta of dynticks CPUs,
we are mixing up clocks of differents natures:
* local_clock() which takes care of unstable clock
sources and fix these if needed.
* sched_clock() which is the weaker version of
local_clock(). It doesn't compute any fixup in case
of unstable source.
If the clock source is stable, those two clocks are the
same and we can safely compute the difference against
two random points.
Otherwise it results in random deltas as sched_clock()
can randomly drift away, back or forward, from local_clock().
As a consequence, some strange behaviour with unstable tsc
has been observed such as non progressing constant zero cputime.
(The 'top' command showing no load).
Fix this by only using local_clock(), or its irq safe/remote
equivalent, in vtime code.

In this function we are making use of rq->clock right before the
update of the rq clock, let's just call update_rq_clock() just
before that to avoid using a stale rq clock value.

check_preempt_curr() of fair class needs an uptodate sched clock
value to update runtime stats of the current task of the target's rq.
When a task is woken up, activate_task() is usually called right before
ttwu_do_wakeup() unless the task is still in the runqueue. In the latter
case we need to update the rq clock explicitly because activate_task()
isn't here to do the job for us.

Because we may update the execution time in
sched_group_set_shares()->update_cfs_shares()->reweight_entity()->update_curr()
before reweighting the entity while setting the group shares and this requires
an uptodate version of the runqueue clock.

Because the sched_class::put_prev_task() callback of rt and fair
classes are referring to the rq clock to update their runtime
statistics. There is a missing rq clock update from the CPU
hotplug notifier's entry point of the scheduler.

migration_call() will do all the things that update_runtime() does.
So let's remove it.
Furthermore, there is potential risk that the current code will catch
BUG_ON at line 689 of rt.c when do cpu hotplug while there are realtime
threads running because of enabling runtime twice while the rt_runtime
may already changed.

In autogroup_create(), a tg is allocated and added to the task_groups
list. If CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED is set, this tg is then modified while on
the list, without locking. This can race with someone walking the list,
like __enable_runtime() during CPU unplug, and result in a use-after-free
bug.
To fix this, move sched_online_group(), which adds the tg to the list,
to the end of the autogroup_create() function after the modification.

It is a few instructions more efficent to and slightly more
readable to use this_rq()-> instead of cpu_rq(smp_processor_id())-> .

These inlines are only used by kernel/sched/fair.c so they do
not need to be present in the main kernel/sched/sched.h file.
