sched/core: Fix some documentation build warnings

2017-07-25T09:17:02+00:00

The kerneldoc comments for try_to_wake_up_local() were out of date, leading
to these documentation build warnings:

  ./kernel/sched/core.c:2080: warning: No description found for parameter 'rf'
  ./kernel/sched/core.c:2080: warning: Excess function parameter 'cookie' description in 'try_to_wake_up_local'

Update the comment to reflect current reality and give us some peace and
quiet.

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

   - Add the SYSTEM_SCHEDULING bootup state to move various scheduler
     debug checks earlier into the bootup. This turns silent and
     sporadically deadly bugs into nice, deterministic splats. Fix some
     of the splats that triggered. (Thomas Gleixner)

   - A round of restructuring and refactoring of the load-balancing and
     topology code (Peter Zijlstra)

   - Another round of consolidating ~20 of incremental scheduler code
     history: this time in terms of wait-queue nomenclature. (I didn't
     get much feedback on these renaming patches, and we can still
     easily change any names I might have misplaced, so if anyone hates
     a new name, please holler and I'll fix it.) (Ingo Molnar)

   - sched/numa improvements, fixes and updates (Rik van Riel)

   - Another round of x86/tsc scheduler clock code improvements, in hope
     of making it more robust (Peter Zijlstra)

   - Improve NOHZ behavior (Frederic Weisbecker)

   - Deadline scheduler improvements and fixes (Luca Abeni, Daniel
     Bristot de Oliveira)

   - Simplify and optimize the topology setup code (Lauro Ramos
     Venancio)

   - Debloat and decouple scheduler code some more (Nicolas Pitre)

   - Simplify code by making better use of llist primitives (Byungchul
     Park)

   - ... plus other fixes and improvements"

Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The sole purpose of these changes is to shrink and simplify the RCU
  code base, which has suffered from creeping bloat over the past couple
  of years. The end result is a net removal of ~2700 lines of code:

  Plus there's a marked reduction in the Kconfig space complexity as
  well, here's the number of matches on 'grep RCU' in the .config:

sched/rt: Move RT related code from sched/core.c to sched/rt.c

This helps making sched/core.c smaller and hopefully easier to understand and maintain.

sched/cpuset: Only offer CONFIG_CPUSETS if SMP is enabled

2017-06-23T08:46:44+00:00

Make CONFIG_CPUSETS=y depend on SMP as this feature makes no sense
on UP. This allows for configuring out cpuset_cpumask_can_shrink()
and task_can_attach() entirely, which shrinks the kernel a bit.

Merge branch 'WIP.sched/core' into sched/core

2017-06-20T10:28:21+00:00

 Conflicts:
	kernel/sched/Makefile

Pick up the waitqueue related renames - it didn't get much feedback,
so it appears to be uncontroversial. Famous last words? ;-)

sched/wait: Move bit_wait_table[] and related functionality from sched/core.c to sched/wait_bit.c

2017-06-20T10:19:14+00:00

The key hashed waitqueue data structures and their initialization
was done in the main scheduler file for no good reason, move them
to sched/wait_bit.c instead.

sched/wait: Rename wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t

2017-06-20T10:18:27+00:00

Rename:

	wait_queue_t		=>	wait_queue_entry_t

'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue",
but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head,
which had to carry the name.

Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'.

This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to
lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry',
which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.

sched/core: Idle_task_exit() shouldn't use switch_mm_irqs_off()

2017-06-11T08:58:17+00:00

idle_task_exit() can be called with IRQs on x86 on and therefore
should use switch_mm(), not switch_mm_irqs_off().

This doesn't seem to cause any problems right now, but it will
confuse my upcoming TLB flush changes.  Nonetheless, I think it
should be backported because it's trivial.  There won't be any
meaningful performance impact because idle_task_exit() is only
used when offlining a CPU.
