8b8e8c1bf7 x86: remove irqbalance in kernel for 32 bit
This has been deprecated for years, the user space irqbalanced utility
works better with numa, has configurable policies, etc...

cb5bc83225 x86_64: rename irq_desc/irq_desc_alloc
change names:

          irq_desc() ==> irq_desc_alloc
	__irq_desc() ==> irq_desc

Also split a few of the uses in lowlevel x86 code.

v2: need to check if desc is null in smp_irq_move_cleanup

7d94f7ca40 irq: remove >= nr_irqs checking with config_have_sparse_irq
remove irq limit checks - nr_irqs is dynamic and we expand anytime.

v2: fix checking about result irq_cfg_without_new, so could use msi again
v3: use irq_desc_without_new to check irq is valid

2c6927a38f irq: replace loop with nr_irqs with for_each_irq_desc
There are a handful of loops that go from 0 to nr_irqs and use
get_irq_desc() on them. These would allocate all the irq_desc
entries, regardless of the need for them.

Use the smarter for_each_irq_desc() iterator that will only iterate
over the present ones.

v2: make sure arch without GENERIC_HARDIRQS work too

7f95ec9e4c x86: move kstat_irqs from kstat to irq_desc
based on Eric's patch ...

together mold it with dyn_array for irq_desc, will allcate kstat_irqs for
nr_irq_desc alltogether if needed. -- at that point nr_cpus is known already.

v2: make sure system without generic_hardirqs works they don't have irq_desc
v3: fix merging

08678b0841 generic: sparse irqs: use irq_desc() together with dyn_array, instead of irq_desc[]
add CONFIG_HAVE_SPARSE_IRQ to for use condensed array.
Get rid of irq_desc[] array assumptions.

Preallocate 32 irq_desc, and irq_desc() will try to get more.

( No change in functionality is expected anywhere, except the odd build
  failure where we missed a code site or where a crossing commit itroduces
  new irq_desc[] usage. )

v2: according to Eric, change get_irq_desc() to irq_desc()

[ exec() will get task->sighand->siglock before change task->sighand! ]

But code using rcu_read_lock() _just_ to protect lock_task_sighand()
only appear in procfs. (and some code in procfs use lock_task_sighand()
without such redundant protection.)

Other subsystem may put lock_task_sighand() into rcu_read_lock()
critical region, but these rcu_read_lock() are used for protecting
"for_each_process()", "find_task_by_vpid()" etc. , not for protecting
lock_task_sighand().

a5d8c3483a sched debug: add name to sched_domain sysctl entries
add /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/cpu0/domain0/name, to make
it easier to see which specific scheduler domain remained at
that entry.

Since we process the scheduler domain tree and
simplify it, it's not always immediately clear during debugging
which domain came from where.

depends on CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG=y.

2fb7635c4c sched: sync wakeups vs avg_overlap
While looking at the code I wondered why we always do:

  sync && avg_overlap < migration_cost

Which is a bit odd, since the overlap test was meant to detect sync wakeups
so using it to specialize sync wakeups doesn't make much sense.

Hence change the code to do:

  sync || avg_overlap < migration_cost

f6121f4f87 sched_rt.c: resch needed in rt_rq_enqueue() for the root rt_rq
While working on the new version of the code for SCHED_SPORADIC I
noticed something strange in the present throttling mechanism. More
specifically in the throttling timer handler in sched_rt.c
(do_sched_rt_period_timer()) and in rt_rq_enqueue().

The problem is that, when unthrottling a runqueue, rt_rq_enqueue() only
asks for rescheduling if the runqueue has a sched_entity associated to
it (i.e., rt_rq->rt_se != NULL).
Now, if the runqueue is the root rq (which has a rt_se = NULL)
rescheduling does not take place, and it is delayed to some undefined
instant in the future.

This imply some random bandwidth usage by the RT tasks under throttling.
For instance, setting rt_runtime_us/rt_period_us = 950ms/1000ms an RT
task will get less than 95%. In our tests we got something varying
between 70% to 95%.
Using smaller time values, e.g., 95ms/100ms, things are even worse, and
I can see values also going down to 20-25%!!

The tests we performed are simply running 'yes' as a SCHED_FIFO task,
and checking the CPU usage with top, but we can investigate thoroughly
if you think it is needed.

Things go much better, for us, with the attached patch... Don't know if
it is the best approach, but it solved the issue for us.

07454bfff1 clockevents: check broadcast tick device not the clock events device
Impact: jiffies increment too fast.

Hugh Dickins noted that with NOHZ=n and HIGHRES=n jiffies get
incremented too fast. The reason is a wrong check in the broadcast
enter/exit code, which keeps the local apic timer in periodic mode
when the switch happens.

2133b5d7ff rcu: RCU-based detection of stalled CPUs for Classic RCU
This patch adds stalled-CPU detection to Classic RCU.  This capability
is enabled by a new config variable CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR, which
defaults disabled.

This is a debugging feature to detect infinite loops in kernel code, not
something that non-kernel-hackers would be expected to care about.

This feature can detect looping CPUs in !PREEMPT builds and looping CPUs
with preemption disabled in PREEMPT builds.  This is essentially a port of
this functionality from the treercu patch, replacing the stall debug patch
that is already in tip/core/rcu (commit 67182ae1c4).

The changes from the patch in tip/core/rcu include making the config
variable name match that in treercu, changing from seconds to jiffies to
avoid spurious warnings, and printing a boot message when this feature
is enabled.

0c5d1eb77a genirq: record trigger type
Genirq hasn't previously recorded the trigger type used by any given IRQ,
although some irq_chip support has done so.  That data can be useful when
troubleshooting.  This patch records it in the relevant irq_desc.status
bits, and improves consistency between the two driver-visible calls
affected:

 - Make set_irq_type() usage match request_irq() usage:
    * IRQ_TYPE_NONE should be a NOP; succeed, so irq_chip methods
      won't have to handle that case any more (many do it wrong).
    * IRQ_TYPE_PROBE is ignored; any buggy out-of-tree callers
      might need to switch over to the real IRQ probing code.
    * emit the same diagnostics (from shared utility code)

 - Their kerneldoc now reflects usage:
    * request_irq() flags include IRQF_TRIGGER_* to specify
      active edge(s)/level ... docs previously omitted that
    * set_irq_type() is declared in <linux/irq.h> so callers
      should use the (bit-equivalent) IRQ_TYPE_* symbols there

Also: adds a warning about shared IRQs that don't end up using the
requested trigger mode; and fix an unrelated "sparse" warning.

o Removes unused variable and argument "rq".
o Optimizes one of the "if" conditions in wake_affine() - i.e.  if
  "balanced" is true, we need not do rest of the calculations in the
  condition.
o If this cpu is same as the previous cpu (on which woken up task
  was running when it went to sleep), no need to call wake_affine at all.
