While doing some testing, I pinned mplayer, only to find it
following X around like a puppy. Looking at commit c88d591, I found
a cpu_allowed check that went AWOL. I plugged it back in where it
looks like it needs to go, and now when I say "sit, stay!", mplayer
obeys again.
'c88d591 sched: Merge select_task_rq_fair() and
sched_balance_self()' accidentally dropped the check, causing
wake_affine() to pull pinned tasks - put it back.

This patch converts the existing power tracer into an event tracer,
so that power events (C states and frequency changes) can be
tracked via "perf".
This also removes the perl script that was used to demo the tracer;
its functionality is being replaced entirely with timechart.

o Drop the calls to cpu_quiet() from the online/offline code.
These are unnecessary, since force_quiescent_state() will
clean up, and removing them simplifies the code a bit.
o Add a warning to check that we don't enqueue the same blocked
task twice onto the ->blocked_tasks[] lists.
o Rework the phase computation in rcu_preempt_note_context_switch()
to be more readable, as suggested by Josh Triplett.
o Disable irqs to close a race between the scheduling clock
interrupt and rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() WRT the
->rcu_read_unlock_special field.
o Add comments to rnp->lock acquisition and release within
rcu_read_unlock_special() noting that irqs are already
disabled.

Arjan complained about the suckyness of TSC on modern machines, and
asked if we could do something about that for PERF_SAMPLE_TIME.
Make cpu_clock() NMI safe by removing the spinlock and using
cmpxchg. This also makes it smaller and more robust.
Affects architectures that use HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK, i.e. IA64

Currently the trace event profile buffer is allocated in the stack. But
this may be too much for the stack, as the events can have large
statically defined field size and can also grow with dynamic arrays.
Allocate two per cpu buffer for all profiled events. The first cpu
buffer is used to host every non-nmi context traces. It is protected
by disabling the interrupts while writing and committing the trace.
The second buffer is reserved for nmi. So that there is no race between
them and the first buffer.
The whole write/commit section is rcu protected because we release
these buffers while deactivating the last profiling trace event.
v2: Move the buffers from trace_event to be global, as pointed by
Steven Rostedt.
v3: Fix the syscall events to handle the profiling buffer races
by disabling interrupts, now that the buffers are globals.

Without this patch, tasks preempted in RCU read-side critical
sections can fail to block the grace period, given that
rnp->gpnum is used to determine which rnp->blocked_tasks[]
element the preempted task is enqueued on.
Before the patch, rnp->gpnum is always zero, so preempted tasks
are always enqueued on rnp->blocked_tasks[0], which is correct
only when the current CPU has not checked into the current
grace period and the grace-period number is even, or,
similarly, if the current CPU -has- checked into the current
grace period and the grace-period number is odd.

Currently we wake the mmap() consumer once every PAGE_SIZE of data
and/or once event wakeup_events when specified.
For high speed sampling this results in too many wakeups wrt. the
buffer size, hence change this.
We move the default wakeup limit to 1/4-th the buffer size, and
provide for means to manually specify this limit.

We can have swcounter events that contribute more than a single
count per event, when used with a non-zero period, those can
generate multiple events, which is when we need throttling.
However, swcounter that contribute only a single count per event
can only come as fast as we can run code, hence don't throttle
them.

Clear buddies more agressively.
The (theoretical, haven't actually observed any of this) problem is
that when we do not select either buddy in pick_next_entity()
because they are too far ahead of the left-most task, we do not
clear the buddies.
This means that as soon as we service the left-most task, these
same buddies will be tried again on the next schedule. Now if the
left-most task was a pure hog, it wouldn't have done any wakeups
and it wouldn't have set buddies of its own. That leads to the old
buddies dominating, which would lead to bad latencies.
