6c9ae009b2 irq: use per_cpu kstat_irqs
Use modern per_cpu API to increment {soft|hard}irq counters, and use
per_cpu allocation for (struct irq_desc)->kstats_irq instead of an array.

This gives better SMP/NUMA locality and saves few instructions per irq.

With small nr_cpuids values (8 for example), kstats_irq was a small array
(less than L1_CACHE_BYTES), potentially source of false sharing.

In the !CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ case, remove the huge, NUMA/cache unfriendly
kstat_irqs_all[NR_IRQS][NR_CPUS] array.

Note: we still populate kstats_irq for all possible irqs in
early_irq_init().  We probably could use on-demand allocations.  (Code
included in alloc_descs()).  Problem is not all IRQS are used with a prior
alloc_descs() call.

kstat_irqs_this_cpu() is not used anymore, remove it.

909ea96468 core: Replace __get_cpu_var with __this_cpu_read if not used for an address.
__get_cpu_var() can be replaced with this_cpu_read and will then use a
single read instruction with implied address calculation to access the
correct per cpu instance.

However, the address of a per cpu variable passed to __this_cpu_read()
cannot be determined (since it's an implied address conversion through
segment prefixes).  Therefore apply this only to uses of __get_cpu_var
where the address of the variable is not used.

478735e388 /proc/stat: fix scalability of irq sum of all cpu
In /proc/stat, the number of per-IRQ event is shown by making a sum each
irq's events on all cpus.  But we can make use of kstat_irqs().

kstat_irqs() do the same calculation, If !CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQ,
it's not a big cost. (Both of the number of cpus and irqs are small.)

If a system is very big and CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQ, it does

	for_each_irq()
		for_each_cpu()
			- look up a radix tree
			- read desc->irq_stat[cpu]
This seems not efficient. This patch adds kstat_irqs() for
CONFIG_GENRIC_HARDIRQ and change the calculation as

	for_each_irq()
		look up radix tree
		for_each_cpu()
			- read desc->irq_stat[cpu]

This reduces cost.

f2c66cd8ee /proc/stat: scalability of irq num per cpu
/proc/stat shows the total number of all interrupts to each cpu.  But when
the number of IRQs are very large, it take very long time and 'cat
/proc/stat' takes more than 10 secs.  This is because sum of all irq
events are counted when /proc/stat is read.  This patch adds "sum of all
irq" counter percpu and reduce read costs.

The cost of reading /proc/stat is important because it's used by major
applications as 'top', 'ps', 'w', etc....

ce0e7b28fb sched, cpuacct: Fix niced guest time accounting
CPU time of a guest is always accounted in 'user' time
without concern for the nice value of its counterpart
process although the guest is scheduled under the nice
value.

This patch fixes the defect and accounts cpu time of
a niced guest in 'nice' time as same as a niced process.

And also the patch adds 'guest_nice' to cpuacct. The
value provides niced guest cpu time which is like 'nice'
to 'user'.

aa0ce5bbc2 softirq: introduce statistics for softirq
Statistics for softirq doesn't exist.
It will be helpful like statistics for interrupts.
This patch introduces counting the number of softirq,
which will be exported in /proc/softirqs.

When softirq handler consumes much CPU time,
/proc/stat is like the following.

$ while :; do  cat /proc/stat | head -n1 ; sleep 10 ; done
cpu  88 0 408 739665 583 28 2 0 0
cpu  450 0 1090 740970 594 28 1294 0 0
                              ^^^^
                             softirq

In such a situation,
/proc/softirqs shows us which softirq handler is invoked.
We can see the increase rate of softirqs.

<before>
$ cat /proc/softirqs
                CPU0       CPU1       CPU2       CPU3

RCU             3505       2948       3947       3673

When CPU TIME of softirq is high,
the rates of increase is the following.
  TIMER  : 220/sec     : CPU1-3
  NET_TX : 5/sec       : CPU0
  NET_RX : 120/sec     : CPU0
  SCHED  : 40-200/sec  : all CPU
  RCU    : 45-58/sec   : all CPU

The rates of increase in an idle mode is the following.
  TIMER  : 250/sec
  SCHED  : 250/sec
  RCU    : 2/sec

It seems many softirqs for receiving packets and rcu are invoked.  This
gives us help for checking system.

79741dd357 [PATCH] idle cputime accounting
The cpu time spent by the idle process actually doing something is
currently accounted as idle time. This is plain wrong, the architectures
that support VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y can do better: distinguish between the
time spent doing nothing and the time spent by idle doing work. The first
is accounted with account_idle_time and the second with account_system_time.
The architectures that use the account_xxx_time interface directly and not
the account_xxx_ticks interface now need to do the check for the idle
process in their arch code. In particular to improve the system vs true
idle time accounting the arch code needs to measure the true idle time
instead of just testing for the idle process.
To improve the tick based accounting as well we would need an architecture
primitive that can tell us if the pt_regs of the interrupted context
points to the magic instruction that halts the cpu.

In addition idle time is no more added to the stime of the idle process.
This field now contains the system time of the idle process as it should
be. On systems without VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING this will always be zero as
every tick that occurs while idle is running will be accounted as idle
time.

This patch contains the necessary common code changes to be able to
distinguish idle system time and true idle time. The architectures with
support for VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING need some changes to exploit this.

The utimescaled / stimescaled fields in the task structure and the
global cpustat should be set on all architectures. On s390 the calls
to account_user_time_scaled and account_system_time_scaled never have
been added. In addition system time that is accounted as guest time
to the user time of a process is accounted to the scaled system time
instead of the scaled user time.
To fix the bugs and to prevent future forgetfulness this patch merges
account_system_time_scaled into account_system_time and
account_user_time_scaled into account_user_time.

0b8f1efad3 sparse irq_desc[] array: core kernel and x86 changes
Impact: new feature

Problem on distro kernels: irq_desc[NR_IRQS] takes megabytes of RAM with
NR_CPUS set to large values. The goal is to be able to scale up to much
larger NR_IRQS value without impacting the (important) common case.

To solve this, we generalize irq_desc[NR_IRQS] to an (optional) array of
irq_desc pointers.

When CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=y is used, we use kzalloc_node to get irq_desc,
this also makes the IRQ descriptors NUMA-local (to the site that calls
request_irq()).

This gets rid of the irq_cfg[] static array on x86 as well: irq_cfg now
uses desc->chip_data for x86 to store irq_cfg.

This merges branches irq/genirq, irq/sparseirq-v4, timers/hpet-percpu

The sparseirq branch is just preliminary groundwork: no sparse IRQs are
actually implemented by this tree anymore - just the new APIs are added
while keeping the old way intact as well (the new APIs map 1:1 to
irq_desc[]).  The 'real' sparse IRQ support will then be a relatively
small patch ontop of this - with a v2.6.29 merge target.

bb34d92f64 timers: fix itimer/many thread hang, v2
This is the second resubmission of the posix timer rework patch, posted
a few days ago.

This includes the changes from the previous resubmittion, which addressed
Oleg Nesterov's comments, removing the RCU stuff from the patch and
un-inlining the thread_group_cputime() function for SMP.

In addition, per Ingo Molnar it simplifies the UP code, consolidating much
of it with the SMP version and depending on lower-level SMP/UP handling to
take care of the differences.

It also cleans up some UP compile errors, moves the scheduler stats-related
macros into kernel/sched_stats.h, cleans up a merge error in
kernel/fork.c and has a few other minor fixes and cleanups as suggested
by Oleg and Ingo. Thanks for the review, guys.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
