The check at the beginning of cpupri_find() makes sure that the task_pri
variable does not exceed the cp->pri_to_cpu array length. But that length
is CPUPRI_NR_PRIORITIES not MAX_RT_PRIO, where it will miss the last two
priorities in that array.
As task_pri is computed from convert_prio() which should never be bigger
than CPUPRI_NR_PRIORITIES, if the check should cause a panic if it is
hit.

yield_task_dl() is broken:
o it forces current to be throttled setting its runtime to zero;
o it sets current's dl_se->dl_new to one, expecting that dl_task_timer()
will queue it back with proper parameters at replenish time.
Unfortunately, dl_task_timer() has this check at the very beginning:
if (!dl_task(p) || dl_se->dl_new)
goto unlock;
So, it just bails out and the task is never replenished. It actually
yielded forever.
To fix this, introduce a new flag indicating that the task properly yielded
the CPU before its current runtime expired. While this is a little overdoing
at the moment, the flag would be useful in the future to discriminate between
"good" jobs (of which remaining runtime could be reclaimed, i.e. recycled)
and "bad" jobs (for which dl_throttled task has been set) that needed to be
stopped.

Russell reported, that irqtime_account_idle_ticks() takes ages due to:
for (i = 0; i < ticks; i++)
irqtime_account_process_tick(current, 0, rq);
It's sad, that this code was written way _AFTER_ the NOHZ idle
functionality was available. I charge myself guitly for not paying
attention when that crap got merged with commit abb74cefa ("sched:
Export ns irqtimes through /proc/stat")
So instead of looping nr_ticks times just apply the whole thing at
once.
As a side note: The whole cputime_t vs. u64 business in that context
wants to be cleaned up as well. There is no point in having all these
back and forth conversions. Lets standardise on u64 nsec for all
kernel internal accounting and be done with it. Everything else does
not make sense at all for fine grained accounting. Frederic, can you
please take care of that?

Since both cpuidle_enabled() and cpuidle_select() are only called by

{inc,dec}_rt_tasks() used to count entities which are directly queued
on the rt_rq. If an entity was not a task (i.e., it is some queue), its
children were not counted.
There is no problem here, but now we want to count number of all tasks
which are actually queued under the rt_rq in all the hierarchy (except
throttled rt queues).
Empty queues are not able to be queued and all of the places, which
use ->rt_nr_running, just compare it with zero, so we do not break
anything here.

Since the smp_mb__{before,after}*() ops are fundamentally dependent on
how an arch can implement atomics it doesn't make sense to have 3
variants of them. They must all be the same.
Furthermore, the 3 variants suggest they're only valid for those 3
atomic ops, while we have many more where they could be applied.
So move away from
smp_mb__{before,after}_{atomic,clear}_{dec,inc,bit}() and reduce the
interface to just the two: smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic().
This patch prepares the way by introducing default implementations in
asm-generic/barrier.h that default to a full barrier and providing
__deprecated inlines for the previous 6 barriers if they're not
provided by the arch.
This should allow for a mostly painless transition (lots of deprecated
warns in the interim).

Citing Jon Corbet from http://lwn.net/2001/0201/kernel.php3":
"[...] it was suggested that the janitors look for and fix all code
that calls sleep_on() [...] since (1) almost all such code is

Code that is obj-y (always built-in) or dependent on a bool Kconfig
(built-in or absent) can never be modular. So using module_init as an
alias for __initcall can be somewhat misleading.
Fix these up now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into
module.h in the future. If we don't do this, we'd have to add module.h
to obviously non-modular code, and that would be a worse thing.
The audit targets the following module_init users for change:
kernel/user.c obj-y
kernel/kexec.c bool KEXEC (one instance per arch)
kernel/profile.c bool PROFILING
kernel/hung_task.c bool DETECT_HUNG_TASK
kernel/sched/stats.c bool SCHEDSTATS
kernel/user_namespace.c bool USER_NS
Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one of the
priority categorized subgroups. As __initcall gets mapped onto
device_initcall, our use of subsys_initcall (which makes sense for these
files) will thus change this registration from level 6-device to level
4-subsys (i.e. slightly earlier). However no observable impact of that
difference has been observed during testing.
Also, two instances of missing ";" at EOL are fixed in kexec.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"A lot updates for cgroup:
- The biggest one is cgroup's conversion to kernfs. cgroup took
after the long abandoned vfs-entangled sysfs implementation and
made it even more convoluted over time. cgroup's internal objects
were fused with vfs objects which also brought in vfs locking and
object lifetime rules. Naturally, there are places where vfs rules
don't fit and nasty hacks, such as credential switching or lock
dance interleaving inode mutex and cgroup_mutex with object serial
number comparison thrown in to decide whether the operation is
actually necessary, needed to be employed.
After conversion to kernfs, internal object lifetime and locking
rules are mostly isolated from vfs interactions allowing shedding
of several nasty hacks and overall simplification. This will also
allow implmentation of operations which may affect multiple cgroups
which weren't possible before as it would have required nesting
i_mutexes.
- Various simplifications including dropping of module support,
easier cgroup name/path handling, simplified cgroup file type
handling and task_cg_lists optimization.
- Prepatory changes for the planned unified hierarchy, which is still
a patchset away from being actually operational. The dummy
hierarchy is updated to serve as the default unified hierarchy.
Controllers which aren't claimed by other hierarchies are
associated with it, which BTW was what the dummy hierarchy was for
anyway.
- Various fixes from Li and others. This pull request includes some
patches to add missing slab.h to various subsystems. This was
triggered xattr.h include removal from cgroup.h. cgroup.h
indirectly got included a lot of files which brought in xattr.h

There are only two users of get_nohz_timer_target(): timer and hrtimer. Both
call it under same circumstances, i.e.
#ifdef CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON
if (!pinned && get_sysctl_timer_migration() && idle_cpu(this_cpu))
return get_nohz_timer_target();
#endif
So, it makes more sense to get all this as part of get_nohz_timer_target()
instead of duplicating code at two places. For this another parameter is
required to be passed to this routine, pinned.

When update_rq_clock_task() accounts the pending steal time for a task,
it converts the steal delta from nsecs to tick then from tick to nsecs.
There is no apparent good reason for doing that though because both
the task clock and the prev steal delta are u64 and store values
in nsecs.
So lets remove the needless conversion.

The steal guest time accounting code assumes that cputime_t is based on
jiffies. So when CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y, which implies that cputime_t
is based on nsecs, steal_account_process_tick() passes the delta in
jiffies to account_steal_time() which then accounts it as if it's a
value in nsecs.
As a result, accounting 1 second of steal time (with HZ=100 that would
be 100 jiffies) is spuriously accounted as 100 nsecs.
As such /proc/stat may report 0 values of steal time even when two
guests have run concurrently for a few seconds on the same host and
same CPU.
In order to fix this, lets convert the nsecs based steal delta to
cputime instead of jiffies by using the right conversion API.
Given that the steal time is stored in cputime_t and this type can have
a smaller granularity than nsecs, we only account the rounded converted
value and leave the remaining nsecs for the next deltas.

I decided to run my tests on linux-next, and my wakeup_rt tracer was
broken. After running a bisect, I found that the problem commit was:
linux-next commit c365c292d0
"sched: Consider pi boosting in setscheduler()"
And the reason the wake_rt tracer test was failing, was because it had
no RT task to trace. I first noticed this when running with
sched_switch event and saw that my RT task still had normal SCHED_OTHER
priority. Looking at the problem commit, I found:
- p->normal_prio = normal_prio(p);
- p->prio = rt_mutex_getprio(p);
With no
+ p->normal_prio = normal_prio(p);
+ p->prio = rt_mutex_getprio(p);
Reading what the commit is suppose to do, I realize that the p->prio
can't be set if the task is boosted with a higher prio, but the
p->normal_prio still needs to be set regardless, otherwise, when the
task is deboosted, it wont get the new priority.
The p->prio has to be set before "check_class_changed()" is called,
otherwise the class wont be changed.
Also added fix to newprio to include a check for deadline policy that
was missing. This change was suggested by Juri Lelli.

1) Single cpu machine case.
When rq has only RT tasks, but no one of them can be picked
because of throttling, we enter in endless loop.
pick_next_task_{dl,rt} return NULL.
In pick_next_task_fair() we permanently go to retry
if (rq->nr_running != rq->cfs.h_nr_running)
return RETRY_TASK;
(rq->nr_running is not being decremented when rt_rq becomes
throttled).
No chances to unthrottle any rt_rq or to wake fair here,
because of rq is locked permanently and interrupts are
disabled.
2) In case of SMP this can cause a hang too. Although we unlock
rq in idle_balance(), interrupts are still disabled.
The solution is to check for available tasks in DL and RT
classes instead of checking for sum.

The problems:
1) We check for rt_nr_running before call of put_prev_task().
If previous task is RT, its rt_rq may become throttled
and dequeued after this call.
In case of p is from rt->rq this just causes picking a task
from throttled queue, but in case of its rt_rq is child
we are guaranteed catch BUG_ON.
2) The same with deadline class. The only difference we operate
on only dl_rq.
This patch fixes all the above problems and it adds a small skip in the
DL update like we've already done for RT class:
if (unlikely((s64)delta_exec <= 0))
return;

Michael spotted that the idle_balance() push down created a task
priority problem.
Previously, when we called idle_balance() before pick_next_task() it
wasn't a problem when -- because of the rq->lock droppage -- an rt/dl
task slipped in.
Similarly for pre_schedule(), rt pre-schedule could have a dl task
slip in.
But by pulling it into the pick_next_task() loop, we'll not try a
higher task priority again.
Cure this by creating a re-start condition in pick_next_task(); and
triggering this from pick_next_task_{rt,fair}().
It also fixes a live-lock where we get stuck in pick_next_task_fair()
due to idle_balance() seeing !0 nr_running but there not actually
being any fair tasks about.

Kirill Tkhai noted:
Since deadline tasks share rt bandwidth, we must care about
bandwidth timer set. Otherwise rt_time may grow up to infinity
in update_curr_dl(), if there are no other available RT tasks
on top level bandwidth.
RT task were in fact throttled right after they got enqueued,
and never executed again (rt_time never again went below rt_runtime).
Peter then proposed to accrue DL execution on rt_time only when
rt timer is active, and proposed a patch (this patch is a slight
modification of that) to implement that behavior. While this
solves Kirill problem, it has a drawback.
Indeed, Kirill noted again:
It looks we may get into a situation, when all CPU time is shared
between RT and DL tasks:
rt_runtime = n
rt_period = 2n
| RT working, DL sleeping | DL working, RT sleeping |
-----------------------------------------------------------
| (1) duration = n | (2) duration = n | (repeat)
|--------------------------|------------------------------|
| (rt_bw timer is running) | (rt_bw timer is not running) |
No time for fair tasks at all.
While this can happen during the first period, if rq is always backlogged,
RT tasks won't have the opportunity to execute anymore: rt_time reached
rt_runtime during (1), suppose after (2) RT is enqueued back, it gets
throttled since rt timer didn't fire, replenishment is from now on eaten up
by DL tasks that accrue their execution on rt_time (while rt timer is
active - we have an RT task waiting for replenishment). FAIR tasks are
not touched after this first period. Ok, this is not ideal, and the situation
is even worse!
What above (the nice case), practically never happens in reality, where
your rt timer is not aligned to tasks periods, tasks are in general not
periodic, etc.. Long story short, you always risk to overload your system.
This patch is based on Peter's idea, but exploits an additional fact:
if you don't have RT tasks enqueued, it makes little sense to continue
incrementing rt_time once you reached the upper limit (DL tasks have their
own mechanism for throttling).
This cures both problems:
- no matter how many DL instances in the past, you'll have an rt_time
slightly above rt_runtime when an RT task is enqueued, and from that
point on (after the first replenishment), the task will normally execute;
- you can still eat up all bandwidth during the first period, but not
anymore after that, remember that DL execution will increment rt_time
till the upper limit is reached.
The situation is still not perfect! But, we have a simple solution for now,
that limits how much you can jeopardize your system, as we keep working
towards the right answer: RT groups scheduled using deadline servers.

dequeue_entity() is called when p->on_rq and sets se->on_rq = 0
which appears to guarentee that the !se->on_rq condition is met.
If the task has done set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE) without
schedule() the second condition will be met and vruntime will be
incorrectly adjusted twice.
In certain cases this can result in the task's vruntime never increasing

CPU time.
This patch changes switched_from_fair() to use !p->on_rq instead of

The name __smp_call_function_single() doesn't tell much about the
properties of this function, especially when compared to
smp_call_function_single().
The comments above the implementation are also misleading. The main
point of this function is actually not to be able to embed the csd
in an object. This is actually a requirement that result from the
purpose of this function which is to raise an IPI asynchronously.
As such it can be called with interrupts disabled. And this feature
comes at the cost of the caller who then needs to serialize the
IPIs on this csd.
Lets rename the function and enhance the comments so that they reflect
these properties.

The main point of calling __smp_call_function_single() is to send
an IPI in a pure asynchronous way. By embedding a csd in an object,
a caller can send the IPI without waiting for a previous one to complete
as is required by smp_call_function_single() for example. As such,
sending this kind of IPI can be safe even when irqs are disabled.
This flexibility comes at the expense of the caller who then needs to
synchronize the csd lifecycle by himself and make sure that IPIs on a
single csd are serialized.
This is how __smp_call_function_single() works when wait = 0 and this
usecase is relevant.
Now there don't seem to be any usecase with wait = 1 that can't be
covered by smp_call_function_single() instead, which is safer. Lets look
at the two possible scenario:
1) The user calls __smp_call_function_single(wait = 1) on a csd embedded
in an object. It looks like a nice and convenient pattern at the first
sight because we can then retrieve the object from the IPI handler easily.
But actually it is a waste of memory space in the object since the csd
can be allocated from the stack by smp_call_function_single(wait = 1)
and the object can be passed an the IPI argument.
Besides that, embedding the csd in an object is more error prone
because the caller must take care of the serialization of the IPIs
for this csd.
2) The user calls __smp_call_function_single(wait = 1) on a csd that
is allocated on the stack. It's ok but smp_call_function_single()
can do it as well and it already takes care of the allocation on the
stack. Again it's more simple and less error prone.
Therefore, using the underscore prepend API version with wait = 1
is a bad pattern and a sign that the caller can do safer and more
simple.
There was a single user of that which has just been converted.
So lets remove this option to discourage further users.

If a PI boosted task policy/priority is modified by a setscheduler()
call we unconditionally dequeue and requeue the task if it is on the
runqueue even if the new priority is lower than the current effective
boosted priority. This can result in undesired reordering of the
priority bucket list.
If the new priority is less or equal than the current effective we
just store the new parameters in the task struct and leave the
scheduler class and the runqueue untouched. This is handled when the
task deboosts itself. Only if the new priority is higher than the
effective boosted priority we apply the change immediately.

The following scenario does not work correctly:
Runqueue of CPUx contains two runnable and pinned tasks:
T1: SCHED_FIFO, prio 80
T2: SCHED_FIFO, prio 80
T1 is on the cpu and executes the following syscalls (classic priority
ceiling scenario):
sys_sched_setscheduler(pid(T1), SCHED_FIFO, .prio = 90);
...
sys_sched_setscheduler(pid(T1), SCHED_FIFO, .prio = 80);
...
Now T1 gets preempted by T3 (SCHED_FIFO, prio 95). After T3 goes back
to sleep the scheduler picks T2. Surprise!
The same happens w/o actual preemption when T1 is forced into the
scheduler due to a sporadic NEED_RESCHED event. The scheduler invokes
pick_next_task() which returns T2. So T1 gets preempted and scheduled
out.
This happens because sched_setscheduler() dequeues T1 from the prio 90
list and then enqueues it on the tail of the prio 80 list behind T2.
This violates the POSIX spec and surprises user space which relies on
the guarantee that SCHED_FIFO tasks are not scheduled out unless they
give the CPU up voluntarily or are preempted by a higher priority
task. In the latter case the preempted task must get back on the CPU
after the preempting task schedules out again.
We fixed a similar issue already in commit 60db48c (sched: Queue a
deboosted task to the head of the RT prio queue). The same treatment
is necessary for sched_setscheduler(). So enqueue to head of the prio
bucket list if the priority of the task is lowered.
It might be possible that existing user space relies on the current
behaviour, but it can be considered highly unlikely due to the corner
case nature of the application scenario.

We stumbled in RT over a SMP bringup issue on ARM where the
idle->on_rq == 0 was causing try_to_wakeup() on the other cpu to run
into nada land.
After adding that idle->on_rq = 1; I was able to find the root cause
of the lockup: the idle task on the newly woken up cpu was fiddling
with a sleeping spinlock, which is a nono.
I kept the init of idle->on_rq to keep the state consistent and to
avoid another long lasting debug session.
As a side note, the whole debug mess could have been avoided if
might_sleep() would have yelled when called from the idle task. That's
fixed with patch 2/6 - and that one actually has a changelog :)

Kirill also spotted that migrate_tasks() will have an instant NULL
deref because pick_next_task() will immediately deref prev.
Instead of fixing all the corner cases because migrate_tasks() can
pass in a NULL prev task in the unlikely case of hot-un-plug, provide
a fake task such that we can remove all the NULL checks from the far
more common paths.
A further problem; not previously spotted; is that because we pushed
pre_schedule() and idle_balance() into pick_next_task() we now need to
avoid those getting called and pulling more tasks on our dying CPU.
We avoid pull_{dl,rt}_task() by setting fake_task.prio to MAX_PRIO+1.
We also note that since we call pick_next_task() exactly the amount of
times we have runnable tasks present, we should never land in
idle_balance().

We're copying the on-stack structure to userspace, but forgot to give
the right number of bytes to copy. This allows the calling process to
obtain up to PAGE_SIZE bytes from the stack (and possibly adjacent
kernel memory).
This fix copies only as much as we actually have on the stack
(attr->size defaults to the size of the struct) and leaves the rest of
the userspace-provided buffer untouched.

While debugging the crash with the bad nr_running accounting, I hit
another bug where, after running my sched deadline test, I was getting
failures to take a CPU offline. It was giving me a -EBUSY error.
Adding a bunch of trace_printk()s around, I found that the cpu
notifier that called sched_cpu_inactive() was returning a failure. The
overflow value was coming up negative?
Talking this over with Juri, the problem is that the total_bw update was
suppose to be made by dl_overflow() which, during my tests, seemed to
not be called. Adding more trace_printk()s, it wasn't that it wasn't
called, but it exited out right away with the check of new_bw being
equal to p->dl.dl_bw. The new_bw calculates the ratio between period and
runtime. The bug is that if you set a deadline, you do not need to set
a period if you plan on the period being equal to the deadline. That
is, if period is zero and deadline is not, then the system call should
set the period to be equal to the deadline. This is done elsewhere in
the code.
The fix is easy, check if period is set, and if it is not, then use the
deadline.

Rostedt writes:
My test suite was locking up hard when enabling mmiotracer. This was due
to the mmiotracer placing all but one CPU offline. I found this out
when I was able to reproduce the bug with just my stress-cpu-hotplug
test. This bug baffled me because it would not always trigger, and
would only trigger on the first run after boot up. The
stress-cpu-hotplug test would crash hard the first run, or never crash
at all. But a new reboot may cause it to crash on the first run again.
I spent all week bisecting this, as I couldn't find a consistent
reproducer. I finally narrowed it down to the sched deadline patches,
and even more peculiar, to the commit that added the sched
deadline boot up self test to the latency tracer. Then it dawned on me
to what the bug was.
All it took was to run a task under sched deadline to screw up the CPU
hot plugging. This explained why it would lock up only on the first run
of the stress-cpu-hotplug test. The bug happened when the boot up self
test of the schedule latency tracer would test a deadline task. The
deadline task would corrupt something that would cause CPU hotplug to
fail. If it didn't corrupt it, the stress test would always work
(there's no other sched deadline tasks that would run to cause
problems). If it did corrupt on boot up, the first test would lockup
hard.
I proved this theory by running my deadline test program on another box,
and then run the stress-cpu-hotplug test, and it would now consistently
lock up. I could run stress-cpu-hotplug over and over with no problem,
but once I ran the deadline test, the next run of the
stress-cpu-hotplug would lock hard.
After adding lots of tracing to the code, I found the cause. The
function tracer showed that migrate_tasks() was stuck in an infinite
loop, where rq->nr_running never equaled 1 to break out of it. When I
added a trace_printk() to see what that number was, it was 335 and
never decrementing!
Looking at the deadline code I found:
static void __dequeue_task_dl(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int flags) {
dequeue_dl_entity(&p->dl);
dequeue_pushable_dl_task(rq, p);
}
static void dequeue_task_dl(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int flags) {
update_curr_dl(rq);
__dequeue_task_dl(rq, p, flags);
dec_nr_running(rq);
}
And this:
if (dl_runtime_exceeded(rq, dl_se)) {
__dequeue_task_dl(rq, curr, 0);
if (likely(start_dl_timer(dl_se, curr->dl.dl_boosted)))
dl_se->dl_throttled = 1;
else
enqueue_task_dl(rq, curr, ENQUEUE_REPLENISH);
if (!is_leftmost(curr, &rq->dl))
resched_task(curr);
}
Notice how we call __dequeue_task_dl() and in the else case we
call enqueue_task_dl()? Also notice that dequeue_task_dl() has
underscores where enqueue_task_dl() does not. The enqueue_task_dl()
calls inc_nr_running(rq), but __dequeue_task_dl() does not. This is
where we get nr_running out of sync.
[snip]
Another point where nr_running can get out of sync is when the dl_timer
fires:
dl_se->dl_throttled = 0;
if (p->on_rq) {
enqueue_task_dl(rq, p, ENQUEUE_REPLENISH);
if (task_has_dl_policy(rq->curr))
check_preempt_curr_dl(rq, p, 0);
else
resched_task(rq->curr);
This patch does two things:
- correctly accounts for throttled tasks (that are now considered
!running);
- fixes the bug, updating nr_running from {inc,dec}_dl_tasks(),
since we risk to update it twice in some situations (e.g., a
task is dequeued while it has exceeded its budget).

cgroup->name handling became quite complicated over time involving
dedicated struct cgroup_name for RCU protection. Now that cgroup is
on kernfs, we can drop all of it and simply use kernfs_name/path() and
friends. Replace cgroup->name and all related code with kernfs
name/path constructs.
* Reimplement cgroup_name() and cgroup_path() as thin wrappers on top
of kernfs counterparts, which involves semantic changes.
pr_cont_cgroup_name() and pr_cont_cgroup_path() added.
* cgroup->name handling dropped from cgroup_rename().
* All users of cgroup_name/path() updated to the new semantics. Users
which were formatting the string just to printk them are converted
to use pr_cont_cgroup_name/path() instead, which simplifies things
quite a bit. As cgroup_name() no longer requires RCU read lock
around it, RCU lockings which were protecting only cgroup_name() are
removed.
v2: Comment above oom_info_lock updated as suggested by Michal.
v3: dummy_top doesn't have a kn associated and
pr_cont_cgroup_name/path() ended up calling the matching kernfs
functions with NULL kn leading to oops. Test for NULL kn and
print "/" if so. This issue was reported by Fengguang Wu.

This patch both merged idle_balance() and pre_schedule() and pushes
both of them into pick_next_task().
Conceptually pre_schedule() and idle_balance() are rather similar,
both are used to pull more work onto the current CPU.
We cannot however first move idle_balance() into pre_schedule_fair()
since there is no guarantee the last runnable task is a fair task, and
thus we would miss newidle balances.
Similarly, the dl and rt pre_schedule calls must be ran before
idle_balance() since their respective tasks have higher priority and
it would not do to delay their execution searching for less important
tasks first.
However, by noticing that pick_next_tasks() already traverses the
sched_class hierarchy in the right order, we can get the right
behaviour and do away with both calls.
We must however change the special case optimization to also require
that prev is of sched_class_fair, otherwise we can miss doing a dl or
rt pull where we needed one.

idle_balance() modifies the rq->idle_stamp field, making this information
shared across core.c and fair.c.
As we know if the cpu is going to idle or not with the previous patch, let's
encapsulate the rq->idle_stamp information in core.c by moving it up to the
caller.
The idle_balance() function returns true in case a balancing occured and the
cpu won't be idle, false if no balance happened and the cpu is going idle.

The scheduler main function 'schedule()' checks if there are no more tasks
on the runqueue. Then it checks if a task should be pulled in the current
runqueue in idle_balance() assuming it will go to idle otherwise.
But idle_balance() releases the rq->lock in order to look up the sched
domains and takes the lock again right after. That opens a window where
another cpu may put a task in our runqueue, so we won't go to idle but
we have filled the idle_stamp, thinking we will.
This patch closes the window by checking if the runqueue has been modified
but without pulling a task after taking the lock again, so we won't go to idle
right after in the __schedule() function.

As patch "sched: Move the priority specific bits into a new header file" exposes
the priority related macros in linux/sched/prio.h, we don't have to implement
task_nice() in kernel/sched/core.c any more.
This patch implements it in linux/sched/sched.h as static inline function,
saving the kernel stack and enhancing performance a bit.

When p is current and it's not of dl class, then there are no other
dl taks in the rq. If we had had pushable tasks in some other rq,
they would have been pushed earlier. So, skip "p == rq->curr" case.

cgroup_subsys is a bit messier than it needs to be.
* The name of a subsys can be different from its internal identifier
defined in cgroup_subsys.h. Most subsystems use the matching name
but three - cpu, memory and perf_event - use different ones.
* cgroup_subsys_id enums are postfixed with _subsys_id and each
cgroup_subsys is postfixed with _subsys. cgroup.h is widely
included throughout various subsystems, it doesn't and shouldn't
have claim on such generic names which don't have any qualifier
indicating that they belong to cgroup.
* cgroup_subsys->subsys_id should always equal the matching
cgroup_subsys_id enum; however, we require each controller to
initialize it and then BUG if they don't match, which is a bit
silly.
This patch cleans up cgroup_subsys names and initialization by doing
the followings.
* cgroup_subsys_id enums are now postfixed with _cgrp_id, and each
cgroup_subsys with _cgrp_subsys.
* With the above, renaming subsys identifiers to match the userland
visible names doesn't cause any naming conflicts. All non-matching
identifiers are renamed to match the official names.
cpu_cgroup -> cpu
mem_cgroup -> memory
perf -> perf_event
* controllers no longer need to initialize ->subsys_id and ->name.
They're generated in cgroup core and set automatically during boot.
* Redundant cgroup_subsys declarations removed.
* While updating BUG_ON()s in cgroup_init_early(), convert them to
WARN()s. BUGging that early during boot is stupid - the kernel
can't print anything, even through serial console and the trap
handler doesn't even link stack frame properly for back-tracing.
This patch doesn't introduce any behavior changes.
v2: Rebased on top of fe1217c4f3 ("net: net_cls: move cgroupfs
classid handling into core").
