commit 9067ac85d533651b98c2ff903182a20cbb361fcb upstream.

wake_up_process() should never wakeup a TASK_STOPPED/TRACED task.
Change it to use TASK_NORMAL and add the WARN_ON().

TASK_ALL has no other users, probably can be killed.

commit bea6832cc8c4a0a9a65dd17da6aaa657fe27bc3e upstream.

On architectures where cputime_t is 64 bit type, is possible to trigger
divide by zero on do_div(temp, (__force u32) total) line, if total is a
non zero number but has lower 32 bit's zeroed. Removing casting is not
a good solution since some do_div() implementations do cast to u32
internally.

This problem can be triggered in practice on very long lived processes:

<title>ftrace: Fix memory leak with function graph and cpu hotplug</title>

commit 868baf07b1a259f5f3803c1dc2777b6c358f83cf upstream.

When the fuction graph tracer starts, it needs to make a special
stack for each task to save the real return values of the tasks.
All running tasks have this stack created, as well as any new
tasks.

On CPU hot plug, the new idle task will allocate a stack as well
when init_idle() is called. The problem is that cpu hotplug does
not create a new idle_task. Instead it uses the idle task that
existed when the cpu went down.

ftrace_graph_init_task() will add a new ret_stack to the task
that is given to it. Because a clone will make the task
have a stack of its parent it does not check if the task's
ret_stack is already NULL or not. When the CPU hotplug code
starts a CPU up again, it will allocate a new stack even
though one already existed for it.

The solution is to treat the idle_task specially. In fact, the
function_graph code already does, just not at init_idle().
Instead of using the ftrace_graph_init_task() for the idle task,
which that function expects the task to be a clone, have a
separate ftrace_graph_init_idle_task(). Also, we will create a
per_cpu ret_stack that is used by the idle task. When we call
ftrace_graph_init_idle_task() it will check if the idle task's
ret_stack is NULL, if it is, then it will assign it the per_cpu
ret_stack.

commit e51fd5e22e12b39f49b1bb60b37b300b17378a43 upstream.

Mike reports that since e9e9250b (sched: Scale down cpu_power due to RT
tasks), wake_affine() goes funny on RT tasks due to them still having a
!0 weight and wake_affine() still subtracts that from the rq weight.

Since nobody should be using se-&gt;weight for RT tasks, set the value to
zero. Also, since we now use -&gt;cpu_power to normalize rq weights to
account for RT cpu usage, add that factor into the imbalance computation.

The cgroup_subsys_state structures referenced by idle tasks are never
freed, because the idle tasks should be part of the root cgroup,
which is not removable.

The problem is that while we do in-fact hold rq-&gt;lock, the newly spawned
idle thread's cpu is not yet set to the correct cpu so the lockdep check
in task_group():

  lockdep_is_held(&amp;task_rq(p)-&gt;lock)

will fail.

But this is a chicken and egg problem.  Setting the CPU's runqueue requires
that the CPU's runqueue already be set.  ;-)

So insert an RCU read-side critical section to avoid the complaint.

commit da2b71edd8a7db44fe1746261410a981f3e03632 upstream.

Currently sched_avg_update() (which updates rt_avg stats in the rq)
is getting called from scale_rt_power() (in the load balance context)
which doesn't take rq-&gt;lock.

Fix it by moving the sched_avg_update() to more appropriate
update_cpu_load() where the CFS load gets updated as well.

commit 7740191cd909b75d75685fb08a5d1f54b8a9d28b upstream.

Fix incorrect handling of the following case:

 INTERACTIVE
 INTERACTIVE_SOMETHING_ELSE

The comparison only checks up to each element's length.

Changelog since v1:
 - Embellish using some Rostedtisms.
  [ mingo:                 ^^ == smaller and cleaner ]

commit e75e863dd5c7d96b91ebbd241da5328fc38a78cc upstream.

We have 32-bit variable overflow possibility when multiply in
task_times() and thread_group_times() functions. When the
overflow happens then the scaled utime value becomes erroneously
small and the scaled stime becomes i erroneously big.

commit 669c55e9f99b90e46eaa0f98a67ec53d46dc969a upstream.

Dave reported that his large SPARC machines spend lots of time in
hweight64(), try and optimize some of those needless cpumask_weight()
invocations (esp. with the large offstack cpumasks these are very
expensive indeed).
