- Correct the marking of kthreads which are supposed to run on a specific,
single CPU vs such which are affine to only one CPU, mark per-cpu workqueue
threads as such and make sure that marking "survives" CPU hotplug. Fix CPU
hotplug issues with such kthreads.
- A fix to not push away tasks on CPUs coming online.
- Have workqueue CPU hotplug code use cpu_possible_mask when breaking affinity
on CPU offlining so that pending workers can finish on newly arrived onlined
CPUs too.
- Dump tasks which haven't vacated a CPU which is currently being unplugged.
- Register a special scale invariance callback which gets called on resume
from RAM to read out APERF/MPERF after resume and thus make the schedutil
scaling governor more precise.
sched: Relax the set_cpus_allowed_ptr() semantics
Now that we have KTHREAD_IS_PER_CPU to denote the critical per-cpu
tasks to retain during CPU offline, we can relax the warning in
set_cpus_allowed_ptr(). Any spurious kthread that wants to get on at
the last minute will get pushed off before it can run.
While during CPU online there is no harm, and actual benefit, to
allowing kthreads back on early, it simplifies hotplug code and fixes
a number of outstanding races.
