Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main scheduling related changes in this cycle were:

   - various sched/numa updates, for better performance

   - tree wide cleanup of open coded nice levels

   - nohz fix related to rq->nr_running use

   - cpuidle changes and continued consolidation to improve the
     kernel/sched/idle.c high level idle scheduling logic.  As part of
     this effort I pulled cpuidle driver changes from Rafael as well.

   - standardized idle polling amongst architectures

   - continued work on preparing better power/energy aware scheduling

   - sched/rt updates

   - misc fixlets and cleanups"

PCI: Turn pcibios_penalize_isa_irq() into a weak function

2014-05-27T22:23:58+00:00

pcibios_penalize_isa_irq() is only implemented by x86 now, and legacy ISA
is not used by some architectures.  Make pcibios_penalize_isa_irq() a
__weak function to simplify the code.  This removes the need for new
platforms to add stub implementations of pcibios_penalize_isa_irq().

sched/idle, alpha: Switch from TS_POLLING to TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG

2014-05-08T07:16:53+00:00

Standardize the idle polling indicator to TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG such that
both TIF_NEED_RESCHED and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG are in the same word.
This will allow us, using fetch_or(), to both set NEED_RESCHED and
check for POLLING_NRFLAG in a single operation and avoid pointless
wakeups.

Changing from the non-atomic thread_info::status flags to the atomic
thread_info::flags shouldn't be a big issue since most polling state
changes were followed/preceded by a full memory barrier anyway.

arch,alpha: Convert smp_mb__*() to the asm-generic primitives

2014-04-18T09:40:31+00:00

The Alpha ll/sc primitives do not imply any sort of barrier; therefore
the smp_mb__{before,after} should be a full barrier. This is the
default from asm-generic/barrier.h and therefore just remove the
current definitions.

arch: Remove stub cputime.h headers

2014-03-13T15:09:30+00:00

Many architectures have a stub cputime.h that only include the default
cputime.h

Lets remove the useless headers, we only need to mention that we want
the default headers on the Kbuild files.

locking/mcs: Allow architecture specific asm files to be used for contended case

2014-02-09T20:18:52+00:00

This patch allows each architecture to add its specific assembly optimized
arch_mcs_spin_lock_contended and arch_mcs_spinlock_uncontended for
MCS lock and unlock functions.

locking/mcs: Order the header files in Kbuild of each architecture in alphabetical order

2014-02-09T20:17:50+00:00

We perform a clean up of the Kbuid files in each architecture.
We order the files in each Kbuild in alphabetical order
by running the below script.

for i in arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild
do
        cat $i | gawk '/^generic-y/ {
                i = 3;
                do {
                        for (; i <= NF; i++) {
                                if ($i == "\\") {
                                        getline;
                                        i = 1;
                                        continue;
                                }
                                if ($i != "")
                                        hdr[$i] = $i;
                        }
                        break;
                } while (1);
                next;
        }
        // {
                print $0;
        }
        END {
                n = asort(hdr);
                for (i = 1; i <= n; i++)
                        print "generic-y += " hdr[i];
        }' > ${i}.sorted;
        mv ${i}.sorted $i;
