based on Eric's patch ...
together mold it with dyn_array for irq_desc, will allcate kstat_irqs for
nr_irq_desc alltogether if needed. -- at that point nr_cpus is known already.
v2: make sure system without generic_hardirqs works they don't have irq_desc
v3: fix merging
v4: [mingo@elte.hu] fix typo
[ mingo@elte.hu ] irq: build fix
fix:

( No change in functionality is expected anywhere, except the odd build

rcu_read_lock()
lock_task_sighand() make sure task->sighand is being protected,
so we do not need rcu_read_lock().
[ exec() will get task->sighand->siglock before change task->sighand! ]
But code using rcu_read_lock() _just_ to protect lock_task_sighand()
only appear in procfs. (and some code in procfs use lock_task_sighand()
without such redundant protection.)
Other subsystem may put lock_task_sighand() into rcu_read_lock()
critical region, but these rcu_read_lock() are used for protecting
"for_each_process()", "find_task_by_vpid()" etc. , not for protecting
lock_task_sighand().

While looking at the code I wondered why we always do:
sync && avg_overlap < migration_cost
Which is a bit odd, since the overlap test was meant to detect sync wakeups
so using it to specialize sync wakeups doesn't make much sense.
Hence change the code to do:
sync || avg_overlap < migration_cost

While working on the new version of the code for SCHED_SPORADIC I
noticed something strange in the present throttling mechanism. More
specifically in the throttling timer handler in sched_rt.c
(do_sched_rt_period_timer()) and in rt_rq_enqueue().
The problem is that, when unthrottling a runqueue, rt_rq_enqueue() only
asks for rescheduling if the runqueue has a sched_entity associated to
it (i.e., rt_rq->rt_se != NULL).
Now, if the runqueue is the root rq (which has a rt_se = NULL)
rescheduling does not take place, and it is delayed to some undefined
instant in the future.
This imply some random bandwidth usage by the RT tasks under throttling.
For instance, setting rt_runtime_us/rt_period_us = 950ms/1000ms an RT
task will get less than 95%. In our tests we got something varying
between 70% to 95%.
Using smaller time values, e.g., 95ms/100ms, things are even worse, and
I can see values also going down to 20-25%!!
The tests we performed are simply running 'yes' as a SCHED_FIFO task,
and checking the CPU usage with top, but we can investigate thoroughly
if you think it is needed.
Things go much better, for us, with the attached patch... Don't know if
it is the best approach, but it solved the issue for us.

Impact: jiffies increment too fast.
Hugh Dickins noted that with NOHZ=n and HIGHRES=n jiffies get
incremented too fast. The reason is a wrong check in the broadcast
enter/exit code, which keeps the local apic timer in periodic mode
when the switch happens.

This patch adds stalled-CPU detection to Classic RCU. This capability
is enabled by a new config variable CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR, which
defaults disabled.
This is a debugging feature to detect infinite loops in kernel code, not
something that non-kernel-hackers would be expected to care about.
This feature can detect looping CPUs in !PREEMPT builds and looping CPUs
with preemption disabled in PREEMPT builds. This is essentially a port of
this functionality from the treercu patch, replacing the stall debug patch
that is already in tip/core/rcu (commit 67182ae1c4).
The changes from the patch in tip/core/rcu include making the config
variable name match that in treercu, changing from seconds to jiffies to
avoid spurious warnings, and printing a boot message when this feature
is enabled.

Genirq hasn't previously recorded the trigger type used by any given IRQ,
although some irq_chip support has done so. That data can be useful when
troubleshooting. This patch records it in the relevant irq_desc.status
bits, and improves consistency between the two driver-visible calls
affected:
- Make set_irq_type() usage match request_irq() usage:
* IRQ_TYPE_NONE should be a NOP; succeed, so irq_chip methods
won't have to handle that case any more (many do it wrong).
* IRQ_TYPE_PROBE is ignored; any buggy out-of-tree callers
might need to switch over to the real IRQ probing code.
* emit the same diagnostics (from shared utility code)
- Their kerneldoc now reflects usage:
* request_irq() flags include IRQF_TRIGGER_* to specify
active edge(s)/level ... docs previously omitted that
* set_irq_type() is declared in <linux/irq.h> so callers
should use the (bit-equivalent) IRQ_TYPE_* symbols there
Also: adds a warning about shared IRQs that don't end up using the
requested trigger mode; and fix an unrelated "sparse" warning.

This patch does following:
o Removes unused variable and argument "rq".
o Optimizes one of the "if" conditions in wake_affine() - i.e. if
"balanced" is true, we need not do rest of the calculations in the
condition.
o If this cpu is same as the previous cpu (on which woken up task
was running when it went to sleep), no need to call wake_affine at all.

This patch adds the CONFIG_FILE_LOCKING option which allows to remove
support for advisory locks. With this patch enabled, the flock()
system call, the F_GETLK, F_SETLK and F_SETLKW operations of fcntl()
and NFS support are disabled. These features are not necessarly needed
on embedded systems. It allows to save ~11 Kb of kernel code and data:

There's a race between mm->owner assignment and swapoff, more easily
seen when task slab poisoning is turned on. The condition occurs when
try_to_unuse() runs in parallel with an exiting task. A similar race
can occur with callers of get_task_mm(), such as /proc/<pid>/<mmstats>
or ptrace or page migration.
CPU0 CPU1
try_to_unuse
looks at mm = task0->mm
increments mm->mm_users
task 0 exits
mm->owner needs to be updated, but no
new owner is found (mm_users > 1, but
no other task has task->mm = task0->mm)
mm_update_next_owner() leaves
mmput(mm) decrements mm->mm_users
task0 freed
dereferencing mm->owner fails
The fix is to notify the subsystem via mm_owner_changed callback(),
if no new owner is found, by specifying the new task as NULL.
Jiri Slaby:
mm->owner was set to NULL prior to calling cgroup_mm_owner_callbacks(), but
must be set after that, so as not to pass NULL as old owner causing oops.
Daisuke Nishimura:
mm_update_next_owner() may set mm->owner to NULL, but mem_cgroup_from_task()
and its callers need to take account of this situation to avoid oops.
Hugh Dickins:
Lockdep warning and hang below exec_mmap() when testing these patches.
exit_mm() up_reads mmap_sem before calling mm_update_next_owner(),
so exec_mmap() now needs to do the same. And with that repositioning,
there's now no point in mm_need_new_owner() allowing for NULL mm.

Impact: per CPU hrtimers can be migrated from a dead CPU
The hrtimer code has no knowledge about per CPU timers, but we need to
prevent the migration of such timers and warn when such a timer is
active at migration time.
Explicitely mark the timers as per CPU and use a more understandable
mode descriptor for the interrupts safe unlocked callback mode, which
is used by hrtimer_sleeper and the scheduler code.

Impact: during migration active hrtimers can be seen as inactive
The migration code removes the hrtimers from the queues of the dead
CPU and sets the state temporary to INACTIVE. The enqueue code sets it
to ACTIVE/PENDING again.
Prevent that the wrong state can be seen by using a separate migration
state bit.

Impact: Stale timers after a CPU went offline.
commit 37bb6cb4097e29ffee970065b74499cbf10603a3
hrtimer: unlock hrtimer_wakeup
changed the hrtimer sleeper callback mode to CB_IRQSAFE_NO_SOFTIRQ due
to locking problems. A result of this change is that when enqueue is
called for an already expired hrtimer the callback function is not
longer called directly from the enqueue code. The normal callers have
been fixed in the code, but the migration code which moves hrtimers
from a dead CPU to a live CPU was not made aware of this.
This can be fixed by checking the timer state after the call to
enqueue in the migration code.

Impact: hrtimers which are on the pending list are not migrated at cpu
offline and can be stale forever
Add the pending list migration when CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS is enabled

On the x86 arch, user space single step exceptions should be ignored
if they occur in the kernel space, such as ptrace stepping through a
system call.
First check if it is kgdb that is executing a single step, then ensure
it is not an accidental traversal into the user space, while in kgdb,
any other time the TIF_SINGLESTEP is set, kgdb should ignore the
exception.
On x86, arm, mips and powerpc, the kgdb_contthread usage was
inconsistent with the way single stepping is implemented in the kgdb
core. The arch specific stub should always set the
kgdb_cpu_doing_single_step correctly if it is single stepping. This
allows kgdb to correctly process an instruction steps if ptrace
happens to be requesting an instruction step over a system call.
