sched: Fix compiler warnings

2014-07-02T06:33:48Z

Commit 143e1e28cb (sched: Rework sched_domain topology definition) introduced a number of functions with a return value of 'const int'. gcc doesn't know what to do with that and, if the kernel is compiled with W=1, complains with the following warnings whenever sched.h is included. include/linux/sched.h:875:25: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type include/linux/sched.h:882:25: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type include/linux/sched.h:889:25: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type include/linux/sched.h:1002:21: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type Commits fb2aa855 (sched, ARM: Create a dedicated scheduler topology table) and 607b45e9a (sched, powerpc: Create a dedicated topology table) introduce the same warning in the arm and powerpc code. Drop 'const' from the function declarations to fix the problem. The fix for all three patches has to be applied together to avoid compilation failures for the affected architectures.

signals: mv {dis,}allow_signal() from sched.h/exit.c to signal.[ch]

2014-06-06T23:08:11Z

Move the declaration/definition of allow_signal/disallow_signal to signal.h/signal.c. The new place is more logical and allows to use the static helpers in signal.c (see the next changes). While at it, make them return void and remove the valid_signal() check. Nobody checks the returned value, and in-kernel users must not pass the wrong signal number.

perf: Differentiate exec() and non-exec() comm events

2014-06-06T05:56:22Z

perf tools like 'perf report' can aggregate samples by comm strings, which generally works. However, there are other potential use-cases. For example, to pair up 'calls' with 'returns' accurately (from branch events like Intel BTS) it is necessary to identify whether the process has exec'd. Although a comm event is generated when an 'exec' happens it is also generated whenever the comm string is changed on a whim (e.g. by prctl PR_SET_NAME). This patch adds a flag to the comm event to differentiate one case from the other. In order to determine whether the kernel supports the new flag, a selection bit named 'exec' is added to struct perf_event_attr. The bit does nothing but will cause perf_event_open() to fail if the bit is set on kernels that do not have it defined.

sched: Rename capacity related flags

2014-06-05T09:52:32Z

It is better not to think about compute capacity as being equivalent to "CPU power". The upcoming "power aware" scheduler work may create confusion with the notion of energy consumption if "power" is used too liberally.

sched: Final power vs. capacity cleanups

2014-06-05T09:52:30Z

It is better not to think about compute capacity as being equivalent to "CPU power". The upcoming "power aware" scheduler work may create confusion with the notion of energy consumption if "power" is used too liberally. This contains the architecture visible changes. Incidentally, only ARM takes advantage of the available pow^H^H^Hcapacity scaling hooks and therefore those changes outside kernel/sched/ are confined to one ARM specific file. The default arch_scale_smt_power() hook is not overridden by anyone. Replacements are as follows: arch_scale_freq_power --> arch_scale_freq_capacity arch_scale_smt_power --> arch_scale_smt_capacity SCHED_POWER_SCALE --> SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE SCHED_POWER_SHIFT --> SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT The local usage of "power" in arch/arm/kernel/topology.c is also changed to "capacity" as appropriate.

sched: Let 'struct sched_group_power' care about CPU capacity

2014-06-05T09:52:26Z

It is better not to think about compute capacity as being equivalent to "CPU power". The upcoming "power aware" scheduler work may create confusion with the notion of energy consumption if "power" is used too liberally. Since struct sched_group_power is really about compute capacity of sched groups, let's rename it to struct sched_group_capacity. Similarly sgp becomes sgc. Related variables and functions dealing with groups are also adjusted accordingly.

sched: Fix signedness bug in yield_to()

2014-06-05T09:52:13Z

yield_to() is supposed to return -ESRCH if there is no task to yield to, but because the type is bool that is the same as returning true. The only place I see which cares is kvm_vcpu_on_spin().
