91a8d07d82 ring-buffer: reset timestamps when ring buffer is reset
Impact: fix bad times of recent resets

The ring buffer needs to reset its timestamps when reseting of the
buffer, otherwise the timestamps are stale and might be used to
calculate times in the buffer causing funny timestamps to appear.

1092307d58 trace: set max latency variable to zero on default
Impact: trace max latencies on start of latency tracing

This patch sets the max latency to zero whenever one of the
irq variant tracers or the wakeup tracer is set to current tracer.

Most developers expect to see output when starting up a latency
tracer. But since the max_latency is already set to max, and
it takes a latency greater than max_latency to be recorded, there
is no trace. This is not the expected behavior and has even confused
myself.

a442e5e0a2 trace: stop all recording to ring buffer on ftrace_dump
Impact: limit ftrace dump output

Currently ftrace_dump only calls ftrace_kill that is a fast way
to prevent the function tracer functions from being called (just sets
a flag and clears the function to call, nothing else). It is better
to also turn off any recording to the ring buffers as well.

faf6861ebd trace: print ftrace_dump at KERN_EMERG log level
Impact: fix to print out ftrace_dump when expected

I was debugging a hard race condition to only find out that
after I hit the race, my log level was not at level to show
KERN_INFO. The time it took to trigger the race was wasted because
I did not capture the trace.

Since ftrace_dump is only called from kernel oops (and only when
it is set in the kernel command line to do so), or when a
developer adds it to their own local tree, the log level of
the print should be at KERN_EMERG to make sure the print appears.

ftrace_dump is not called by a normal user setup, and will not
add extra unwanted print out to the console. There is no reason
it should be at KERN_INFO.

551b4048b3 ring_buffer: reset write when reserve buffer fail
Impact: reset struct buffer_page.write when interrupt storm

if struct buffer_page.write is not reset, any succedent committing
will corrupted ring_buffer:

static inline void
rb_set_commit_to_write(struct ring_buffer_per_cpu *cpu_buffer)
{
	......
		cpu_buffer->commit_page->commit =
			cpu_buffer->commit_page->write;
	......
}

when "if (RB_WARN_ON(cpu_buffer, next_page == reader_page))", ring_buffer
is disabled, but some reserved buffers may haven't been committed.
we need reset struct buffer_page.write.

when "if (unlikely(next_page == cpu_buffer->commit_page))", ring_buffer
is still available, we should not corrupt it.

00f57f545a tracing/function-graph-tracer: fix a regression while suspend to disk
Impact: fix a crash while kernel image restore

When the function graph tracer is running and while suspend to disk, some racy
and dangerous things happen against this tracer.

The current task will save its registers including the stack pointer which
contains the return address hooked by the tracer. But the current task will
continue to enter other functions after that to save the memory, and then
it will store other return addresses, and finally loose the old depth which
matches the return address saved in the old stack (during the registers saving).

So on image restore, the code will return to wrong addresses.
And there are other things: on restore, the task will have it's "current"
pointer overwritten during registers restoring....switching from one task to
another... That would be insane to try to trace function graphs at these
stages.

This patch makes the function graph tracer listening on power events, making
it's tracing disabled for the current task (the one that performs the
hibernation work) while suspend/resume to disk, making the tracing safe
during hibernation.

0609697eab dma-coherent: Restore dma_alloc_from_coherent() large alloc fall back policy.
When doing large allocations (larger than the per-device coherent area)
the generic memory allocators are silently fallen back on regardless of
consideration for the per-device constraints.

In the DMA_MEMORY_EXCLUSIVE case falling back on generic memory is not
an option, as it tends not to be addressable by the DMA hardware in
question. This issue showed up with the 8139too breakage on the
Dreamcast, where non-addressable buffers were silently allocated due to
the size mismatch calculation -- while it should have simply errored out
upon being unable to satisfy the allocation with the given device
constraints.

This restores fall back behaviour to what it was before the oversized
request change caused multiple regressions.

cdf57cab27 dma-coherent: per-device coherent area is in pages, not bytes.
Commit 58c6d3dfe4 ("dma-coherent: catch
oversized requests to dma_alloc_from_coherent()") attempted to add a
sanity check to bail out on allocations larger than the coherent area.

Unfortunately when this was implemented, the fact the coherent area
is tracked in pages rather than bytes was overlooked, which subsequently
broke every single dma_alloc_from_coherent() user, forcing the allocation
silently through generic memory instead.

082605de5f ring-buffer: fix alignment problem
Impact: fix to allow some archs to use the ring buffer

Commits in the ring buffer are checked by pointer arithmetic.
If the calculation is incorrect, then the commits will never take
place and the buffer will simply fill up and report an error.

Each page in the ring buffer has a small header:

struct buffer_data_page {
	u64		time_stamp;
	local_t		commit;
	unsigned char	data[];
};

Unfortuntely, some of the calculations used sizeof(struct buffer_data_page)
to know the size of the header. But this is incorrect on some archs,
where sizeof(struct buffer_data_page) does not equal
offsetof(struct buffer_data_page, data), and on those archs, the commits
are never processed.

This patch replaces the sizeof with offsetof.

if they don't do it they're no worse than before when they were using

f90d4118ba cpuset: fix possible deadlock in async_rebuild_sched_domains
Lockdep reported some possible circular locking info when we tested cpuset on
NUMA/fake NUMA box.

=======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.29-rc1-00224-ga652504 #111
-------------------------------------------------------
bash/2968 is trying to acquire lock:
 (events){--..}, at: [<ffffffff8024c8cd>] flush_work+0x24/0xd8

but task is already holding lock:
 (cgroup_mutex){--..}, at: [<ffffffff8026ad1e>] cgroup_lock_live_group+0x12/0x29

which lock already depends on the new lock.
......
-------------------------------------------------------

Steps to reproduce:
# mkdir /dev/cpuset
# mount -t cpuset xxx /dev/cpuset
# mkdir /dev/cpuset/0
# echo 0 > /dev/cpuset/0/cpus
# echo 0 > /dev/cpuset/0/mems
# echo 1 > /dev/cpuset/0/memory_migrate
# cat /dev/zero > /dev/null &
# echo $! > /dev/cpuset/0/tasks

This is because async_rebuild_sched_domains has the following lock sequence:
run_workqueue(async_rebuild_sched_domains)
	-> do_rebuild_sched_domains -> cgroup_lock

But, attaching tasks when memory_migrate is set has following:
cgroup_lock_live_group(cgroup_tasks_write)
	-> do_migrate_pages -> flush_work

This patch fixes it by using a separate workqueue thread.

Add a debug check to test this theory. If it triggers then it
triggers because the resume code calls it with irqs enabled,
which is a no-no not just for timekeeping_resume(), but also
bad for a number of other resume handlers.

This has caused more problems than it solved, with a pile of cpu
hotplug locking issues.

if they don't do it they're no worse than before when they were using

e17036dac1 sched: fix update_min_vruntime
Impact: fix SCHED_IDLE latency problems

OK, so we have 1 running task A (which is obviously curr and the tree is
equally obviously empty).

'A' nicely chugs along, doing its thing, carrying min_vruntime along as it
goes.

Then some whacko speed freak SCHED_IDLE task gets inserted due to SMP
balancing, which is very likely far right, in that case

update_curr
  update_min_vruntime
    cfs_rq->rb_leftmost := true (the crazy task sitting in a tree)
      vruntime = se->vruntime

and voila, min_vruntime is waaay right of where it ought to be.

OK, so why did I write it like that to begin with...

Aah, yes.

Say we've just dequeued current

schedule
  deactivate_task(prev)
    dequeue_entity
      update_min_vruntime

Then we'll set

  vruntime = cfs_rq->min_vruntime;

we find !cfs_rq->curr, but do find someone in the tree. Then we _must_
do vruntime = se->vruntime, because

 vruntime = min_vruntime(vruntime := cfs_rq->min_vruntime, se->vruntime)

will not advance vruntime, and cause lags the other way around (which we
fixed with that initial patch: 1af5f730fc
(sched: more accurate min_vruntime accounting).

Mark Glines reported:

For UID grouping we initialize the root group with infinite bandwidth
which by default is actually more than the global limit, therefore the
bandwidth check always fails.

Because the root group is a phantom group (for UID grouping) we cannot
runtime adjust it, therefore we let it reflect the global bandwidth
settings.

01e3eb8227 Revert "sched: improve preempt debugging"
This reverts commit 7317d7b87e.

This has been reported (and bisected) by Alexey Zaytsev and
Kamalesh Babulal to produce annoying warnings during bootup
on both x86 and powerpc.

kernel_locked() is not a valid test in IRQ context (we update the
BKL's ->lock_depth and the preempt count separately and non-atomicalyy),
so we cannot put it into the generic preempt debugging checks which
can run in IRQ contexts too.

9332fccded irq: initialize nr_irqs based on nr_cpu_ids
Impact: Reduce memory usage.

This is the second half of the changes to make the irq_desc_ptrs be
variable sized based on nr_cpu_ids.  This is done by adding a new
"max_nr_irqs" macro to irq_vectors.h (and a dummy in irqnr.h) to
return a max NR_IRQS value based on NR_CPUS or nr_cpu_ids.

This necessitated moving the define of MAX_IO_APICS to a separate
file (asm/apicnum.h) so it could be included without the baggage
of the other asm/apicdef.h declarations.

802bf931f2 cpumask: fix bug in use cpumask_var_t in irq_desc
Impact: fix bug where new irq_desc uses old cpumask pointers which are freed.

As Yinghai pointed out, init_copy_one_irq_desc() copies the old desc to
the new desc overwriting the cpumask pointers.  Since the old_desc and
the cpumask pointers are freed, then memory corruption will occur if
these old pointers are used.

Move the allocation of these pointers to after the copy.

7f7ace0cda cpumask: update irq_desc to use cpumask_var_t
Impact: reduce memory usage, use new cpumask API.

Replace the affinity and pending_masks with cpumask_var_t's.  This adds
to the significant size reduction done with the SPARSE_IRQS changes.

The added functions (init_alloc_desc_masks & init_copy_desc_masks) are
in the include file so they can be inlined (and optimized out for the
!CONFIG_CPUMASKS_OFFSTACK case.)  [Naming chosen to be consistent with
the other init*irq functions, as well as the backwards arg declaration
of "from, to" instead of the more common "to, from" standard.]

Includes a slight change to the declaration of struct irq_desc to embed
the pending_mask within ifdef(CONFIG_SMP) to be consistent with other
references, and some small changes to Xen.

then expression-with-side-effects never gets evaluated on UP builds.

As always, implementing it in C is the correct thing to do.

While we're there, uninline it for size and possible header dependency
reasons.

And create a new kernel/up.c, as a place in which to put

61bce0f137 pid: generalize task_active_pid_ns
Currently task_active_pid_ns is not safe to call after a task becomes a
zombie and exit_task_namespaces is called, as nsproxy becomes NULL.  By
reading the pid namespace from the pid of the task we can trivially solve
this problem at the cost of one extra memory read in what should be the
same cacheline as we read the namespace from.

When moving things around I have made task_active_pid_ns out of line
because keeping it in pid_namespace.h would require adding includes of
pid.h and sched.h that I don't think we want.

This change does make task_active_pid_ns unsafe to call during
copy_process until we attach a pid on the task_struct which seems to be a
reasonable trade off.

f5813d9427 cpusets: set task's cpu_allowed to cpu_possible_map when attaching it into top cpuset
I found a bug on my dual-cpu box.  I created a sub cpuset in top 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 top cpuset automatically because there is no cpu in sub
cpuset.  Then we online CPU1, we find all the tasks which doesn't belong
to top cpuset originally just run on CPU0.

We fix this bug by setting task's cpu_allowed to cpu_possible_map when
attaching it into top cpuset.  This method needn't modify the current
behavior of cpusets on CPU hotplug, and all of tasks in top cpuset use
cpu_possible_map to initialize their cpu_allowed.

13337714f3 cpuset: rcu_read_lock() to protect task_cs()
task_cs() calls task_subsys_state().

We must use rcu_read_lock() to protect cgroup_subsys_state().

It's correct that top_cpuset is never freed, but cgroup_subsys_state()
accesses css_set, this css_set maybe freed when task_cs() called.

We use use rcu_read_lock() to protect it.

e7c5ec9193 cgroups: add css_tryget()
Add css_tryget(), that obtains a counted reference on a CSS.  It is used
in situations where the caller has a "weak" reference to the CSS, i.e.
one that does not protect the cgroup from removal via a reference count,
but would instead be cleaned up by a destroy() callback.

css_tryget() will return true on success, or false if the cgroup is being
removed.

This is similar to Kamezawa Hiroyuki's patch from a week or two ago, but
with the difference that in the event of css_tryget() racing with a
cgroup_rmdir(), css_tryget() will only return false if the cgroup really
does get removed.

This implementation is done by biasing css->refcnt, so that a refcnt of 1
means "releasable" and 0 means "released or releasing".  In the event of a
race, css_tryget() distinguishes between "released" and "releasing" by
checking for the CSS_REMOVED flag in css->flags.

999cd8a450 cgroups: add a per-subsystem hierarchy_mutex
These patches introduce new locking/refcount support for cgroups to
reduce the need for subsystems to call cgroup_lock(). This will
ultimately allow the atomicity of cgroup_rmdir() (which was removed
recently) to be restored.

These three patches give:

1/3 - introduce a per-subsystem hierarchy_mutex which a subsystem can
     use to prevent changes to its own cgroup tree

2/3 - use hierarchy_mutex in place of calling cgroup_lock() in the
     memory controller

3/3 - introduce a css_tryget() function similar to the one recently
      proposed by Kamezawa, but avoiding spurious refcount failures in
      the event of a race between a css_tryget() and an unsuccessful
      cgroup_rmdir()

Future patches will likely involve:

- using hierarchy mutex in place of cgroup_lock() in more subsystems
 where appropriate

- restoring the atomicity of cgroup_rmdir() with respect to cgroup_create()

This patch:

Add a hierarchy_mutex to the cgroup_subsys object that protects changes to
the hierarchy observed by that subsystem.  It is taken by the cgroup
subsystem (in addition to cgroup_mutex) for the following operations:

- linking a cgroup into that subsystem's cgroup tree
- unlinking a cgroup from that subsystem's cgroup tree
- moving the subsystem to/from a hierarchy (including across the
  bind() callback)

Thus if the subsystem holds its own hierarchy_mutex, it can safely
traverse its own hierarchy.

28dbc4b6a0 memcg: memory cgroup resource counters for hierarchy
Add support for building hierarchies in resource counters.  Cgroups allows
us to build a deep hierarchy, but we currently don't link the resource
counters belonging to the memory controller control groups, in the same
fashion as the corresponding cgroup entries in the cgroup hierarchy.  This
patch provides the infrastructure for resource counters that have the same
hiearchy as their cgroup counter parts.

These set of patches are based on the resource counter hiearchy patches
posted by Pavel Emelianov.

NOTE: Building hiearchies is expensive, deeper hierarchies imply charging
the all the way up to the root.  It is known that hiearchies are
expensive, so the user needs to be careful and aware of the trade-offs
before creating very deep ones.

a47295e6bc cgroups: make cgroup_path() RCU-safe
Fix races between /proc/sched_debug by freeing cgroup objects via an RCU
callback.  Thus any cgroup reference obtained from an RCU-safe source will
remain valid during the RCU section.  Since dentries are also RCU-safe,
this allows us to traverse up the tree safely.

Additionally, make cgroup_path() check for a NULL cgrp->dentry to avoid
trying to report a path for a partially-created cgroup.

33a68ac1c1 cgroups: add inactive subsystems to rootnode.subsys_list

		...
		if (ss->root->subsys_list.next == &ss->sibling) {
			...
		}
	}
	if (list_empty(&rootnode.subsys_list)) {
		...
	}

The above code assumes rootnode.subsys_list links all inactive
hierarchies.

77efecd9e0 cgroups: call find_css_set() safely in cgroup_attach_task()
In cgroup_attach_task(), tsk maybe exit when we call find_css_set().  and
find_css_set() will access to invalid css_set.

This patch increases the count before get_css_set(), and decreases it
after find_css_set().

NOTE:

css_set's refcount is also taskcount, after this patch applied, taskcount
may be off-by-one WHEN cgroup_lock() is not held.  but I reviewed other
code which use taskcount, they are still correct.  No regression found by
reviewing and simply testing.

So I do not use two counters in css_set.  (one counter for taskcount, the
other for refcount.  like struct mm_struct) If this fix cause regression,
we will use two counters in css_set.

b2aa30f7bb cgroups: don't put struct cgroupfs_root protected by RCU
We don't access struct cgroupfs_root in fast path, so we should not put
struct cgroupfs_root protected by RCU

But the comment in struct cgroup_subsys.root confuse us.

struct cgroup_subsys.root is used in these places:

1 find_css_set(): if (ss->root->subsys_list.next == &ss->sibling)
2 rebind_subsystems(): if (ss->root != &rootnode)
                       rcu_assign_pointer(ss->root, root);
                       rcu_assign_pointer(subsys[i]->root, &rootnode);
3 cgroup_has_css_refs(): if (ss->root != cgrp->root)
4 cgroup_init_subsys(): ss->root = &rootnode;
5 proc_cgroupstats_show(): ss->name, ss->root->subsys_bits,
                           ss->root->number_of_cgroups, !ss->disabled);
6 cgroup_clone(): root = subsys->root;
                  if ((root != subsys->root) ||

All these place we have held cgroup_lock() or we don't dereference to
struct cgroupfs_root.  It's means wo don't need RCU when use struct
cgroup_subsys.root, and we should not put struct cgroupfs_root protected
by RCU.

We access res->cgroups without the task_lock(), so res->cgroups may be

We don't need add any lock for fixing this bug.  we just access to struct
css_set by struct cg_cgroup_link, not by struct task_struct.

Since we hold css_set_lock, struct cg_cgroup_link is reliable.

dd8632a12e NOMMU: Make mmap allocation page trimming behaviour configurable.
NOMMU mmap allocates a piece of memory for an mmap that's rounded up in size to
the nearest power-of-2 number of pages.  Currently it then discards the excess
pages back to the page allocator, making that memory available for use by other
things.  This can, however, cause greater amount of fragmentation.

To counter this, a sysctl is added in order to fine-tune the trimming
behaviour.  The default behaviour remains to trim pages aggressively, while
this can either be disabled completely or set to a higher page-granular
watermark in order to have finer-grained control.

8feae13110 NOMMU: Make VMAs per MM as for MMU-mode linux
Make VMAs per mm_struct as for MMU-mode linux.  This solves two problems:

 (1) In SYSV SHM where nattch for a segment does not reflect the number of
     shmat's (and forks) done.

 (2) In mmap() where the VMA's vm_mm is set to point to the parent mm by an
     exec'ing process when VM_EXECUTABLE is specified, regardless of the fact
     that a VMA might be shared and already have its vm_mm assigned to another
     process or a dead process.

A new struct (vm_region) is introduced to track a mapped region and to remember
the circumstances under which it may be shared and the vm_list_struct structure
is discarded as it's no longer required.

This patch makes the following additional changes:

 (1) Regions are now allocated with alloc_pages() rather than kmalloc() and
     with no recourse to __GFP_COMP, so the pages are not composite.  Instead,
     each page has a reference on it held by the region.  Anything else that is
     interested in such a page will have to get a reference on it to retain it.
     When the pages are released due to unmapping, each page is passed to
     put_page() and will be freed when the page usage count reaches zero.

 (2) Excess pages are trimmed after an allocation as the allocation must be
     made as a power-of-2 quantity of pages.

 (3) VMAs are added to the parent MM's R/B tree and mmap lists.  As an MM may
     end up with overlapping VMAs within the tree, the VMA struct address is
     appended to the sort key.

 (4) Non-anonymous VMAs are now added to the backing inode's prio list.

 (5) Holes may be punched in anonymous VMAs with munmap(), releasing parts of
     the backing region.  The VMA and region structs will be split if
     necessary.

 (6) sys_shmdt() only releases one attachment to a SYSV IPC shared memory
     segment instead of all the attachments at that addresss.  Multiple
     shmat()'s return the same address under NOMMU-mode instead of different
     virtual addresses as under MMU-mode.

 (7) Core dumping for ELF-FDPIC requires fewer exceptions for NOMMU-mode.

 (8) /proc/maps is now the global list of mapped regions, and may list bits
     that aren't actually mapped anywhere.

 (9) /proc/meminfo gains a line (tagged "MmapCopy") that indicates the amount
     of RAM currently allocated by mmap to hold mappable regions that can't be
     mapped directly.  These are copies of the backing device or file if not
     anonymous.

These changes make NOMMU mode more similar to MMU mode.  The downside is that
NOMMU mode requires some extra memory to track things over NOMMU without this
patch (VMAs are no longer shared, and there are now region structs).

This patch fixes an rcutorture bug found by Eric Sesterhenn that
resulted in oopses in response to "rmmod rcutorture".  The problem
was in some new code that attempted to handle the case where a system
is shut down while rcutorture is still running, for example, when
rcutorture is built into the kernel so that it cannot be removed.
The fix causes the rcutorture threads to "park" in an
schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT) rather than
trying to get them to terminate cleanly.  Concurrent shutdown and
rmmod is illegal.

I believe that this is 2.6.29 material, as it is used in some testing
setups.

For reference, here are the rcutorture operating modes:

CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST=m

	This is the normal rcutorture build.  Use "modprobe rcutorture"
	(with optional arguments) to start, and "rmmod rcutorture" to
	stop.  If you shut the system down without doing the rmmod, you
	should see console output like:

	rcutorture thread rcu_torture_writer parking due to system shutdown

	One for each rcutorture kthread.

CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST=y
CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_RUNNABLE=n

	Use this if you want rcutorture built in, but don't want the
	test to start running during early boot.  To start the
	torturing:

		echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/rcutorture_runnable

	To stop the torturing, s/1/0/

	You will get "parking" console messages as noted above when
	you shut the system down.

CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST=y
CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_RUNNABLE=y

	Same as above, except that the torturing starts during early
	boot.  Only for the stout of heart and strong of stomach.
	The same /proc entry noted above may be used to control the
	test.

465634adc1 ring_buffer: fix ring_buffer_event_length()
Function ring_buffer_event_length() provides an interface to detect
the length of data stored in an entry. However, the length contains
offsets depending on the internal usage. This makes it unusable. This
patch fixes this and now ring_buffer_event_length() returns the
alligned length that has been used in ring_buffer_lock_reserve().

a0e280e0f3 stop_machine/cpu hotplug: fix disable_nonboot_cpus
disable_nonboot_cpus calls _cpu_down. But _cpu_down requires that the
caller already created the stop_machine workqueue (like cpu_down does).
Otherwise a call to stop_machine will lead to accesses to random memory
regions.

When introducing this new interface (9ea09af3bd
"stop_machine: introduce stop_machine_create/destroy") I missed the second
call site of _cpu_down.
So add the missing stop_machine_create/destroy calls to disable_nonboot_cpus
as well.

Fixes suspend-to-ram/disk and also this bug:

e8de1481fd resource: allow MMIO exclusivity for device drivers
Device drivers that use pci_request_regions() (and similar APIs) have a
reasonable expectation that they are the only ones accessing their device.
As part of the e1000e hunt, we were afraid that some userland (X or some
bootsplash stuff) was mapping the MMIO region that the driver thought it
had exclusively via /dev/mem or via various sysfs resource mappings.

This patch adds the option for device drivers to cause their reserved
regions to the "banned from /dev/mem use" list, so now both kernel memory
and device-exclusive MMIO regions are banned.
NOTE: This is only active when CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is set.

In addition to the config option, a kernel parameter iomem=relaxed is
provided for the cases where developers want to diagnose, in the field,
drivers issues from userspace.

490dea45d0 itimers: remove the per-cpu-ish-ness
Either we bounce once cacheline per cpu per tick, yielding n^2 bounces
or we just bounce a single..

Also, using per-cpu allocations for the thread-groups complicates the
per-cpu allocator in that its currently aimed to be a fixed sized
allocator and the only possible extention to that would be vmap based,
which is seriously constrained on 32 bit archs.

So making the per-cpu memory requirement depend on the number of
processes is an issue.

Lastly, it didn't deal with cpu-hotplug, although admittedly that might
be fixable.

22a9d64567 async: Asynchronous function calls to speed up kernel boot
Right now, most of the kernel boot is strictly synchronous, such that
various hardware delays are done sequentially.

In order to make the kernel boot faster, this patch introduces
infrastructure to allow doing some of the initialization steps
asynchronously, which will hide significant portions of the hardware delays
in practice.

In order to not change device order and other similar observables, this
patch does NOT do full parallel initialization.

Rather, it operates more in the way an out of order CPU does; the work may
be done out of order and asynchronous, but the observable effects
(instruction retiring for the CPU) are still done in the original sequence.

With sched_mc at 2. (it is default-off)

Strictly speaking we'll not deadlock, because ttwu will not be able to
place the migration task on our rq, but since the code can deal with
both rqs getting unlocked, this seems the easiest way out.
