sched: improve affine wakeups
improve affine wakeups. Maintain the 'overlap' metric based on CFS's
sum_exec_runtime - which means the amount of time a task executes
after it wakes up some other task.
Use the 'overlap' for the wakeup decisions: if the 'overlap' is short,
it means there's strong workload coupling between this task and the
woken up task. If the 'overlap' is large then the workload is decoupled
and the scheduler will move them to separate CPUs more easily.
( Also slightly move the preempt_check within try_to_wake_up() - this has
no effect on functionality but allows 'early wakeups' (for still-on-rq
tasks) to be correctly accounted as well.)
(the md5's changed because stack slots changed and some registers
get scheduled by gcc in a different order - but otherwise the before
and after assembly is instruction for instruction equivalent.)

The problem can be triggered with a high amount of host->guest traffic.
I think its the following race:
poll says netif_rx_complete
poll calls enable_cb
enable_cb opens the interrupt mask
a new packet comes, an interrupt is triggered----\
enable_cb sees that there is more work |
enable_cb disables the interrupt |
. V
. interrupt is delivered
. skb_recv_done does atomic napi test, ok
some waiting disable_cb is called->check fails->bang!
.
poll would do napi check
poll would do disable_cb
The fix is to let enable_cb not disable the interrupt again, but expect the
caller to do the cleanup if it returns false. In that case, the interrupt is
only disabled, if the napi test_set_bit was successful.

drm: Fix race that can lockup the kernel
The i915_vblank_swap() function schedules an automatic buffer swap
upon receipt of the vertical sync interrupt. Such an operation is
lengthy so it can't be allowed to happen in normal interrupt context,
thus the DRM implements this by scheduling the work in a kernel
softirq-scheduled tasklet. In order for the buffer swap to work
safely, the DRM's central lock must be taken, via a call to
drm_lock_take() located in drivers/char/drm/drm_irq.c within the
function drm_locked_tasklet_func(). The lock-taking logic uses a
non-interrupt-blocking spinlock to implement the manipulations needed
to take the lock. This semantic would be safe if all attempts to use
the spinlock only happen from process context. However this buffer
swap happens from softirq context which is really a form of interrupt
context. Thus we have an unsafe situation, in that
drm_locked_tasklet_func() can block on a spinlock already taken by a
thread in process context which will never get scheduled again because
of the blocked softirq tasklet. This wedges the kernel hard.
To trigger this bug, run a dual-head cloned mode configuration which
uses the i915 drm, then execute an opengl application which
synchronizes buffer swaps against the vertical sync interrupt. In my
testing, a lockup always results after running anywhere from 5 minutes
to an hour and a half. I believe dual-head is needed to really
trigger the problem because then the vertical sync interrupt handling
is no longer predictable (due to being interrupt-sourced from two
different heads running at different speeds). This raises the
probability of the tasklet trying to run while the userspace DRI is
doing things to the GPU (and manipulating the DRM lock).
The fix is to change the relevant spinlock semantics to be the
interrupt-blocking form. After this change I am no longer able to
trigger the lockup; the longest test run so far was 20 hours (test
stopped after that point).
Note: I have examined the places where this spinlock is being
employed; all are reasonably short bounded sequences and should be
suitable for interrupts being blocked without impacting overall kernel
interrupt response latency.

scheduler looks for another process on other CPU's runqueue because CPU1
will be idle. idle_balance(), load_balance_newidle() and

the rq lock. On the other hand, CPU0 is trying to boost the priority of
P1. The result of boosting only P1's prio and sched_class are changed to
