In order to get a more consistent naming scheme, making it clear which fault statistics track memory locality, and which track CPU locality, rename the memory fault statistics. Suggested-by:

Excessive migration of pages can hurt the performance of workloads that span multiple NUMA nodes. However, it turns out that the p->numa_migrate_deferred knob is a really big hammer, which does reduce migration rates, but does not actually help performance. Now that the second stage of the automatic numa balancing code has stabilized, it is time to replace the simplistic migration deferral code with something smarter. Signed-off-by:

Since we keep the clock value linearly continuous on frequency change, make sure the initial multiplier is 0, such that our initial value is 0. Without this we compute the initial value at whatever the TSC has managed to reach since power-on. Reported-and-Tested-by:

The code would assume sched_clock_stable() and switch to !stable later, this switch brings a discontinuity in time. The discontinuity on switching from stable to unstable was always present, but previously we would set stable/unstable before initializing TSC and usually stick to the one we start out with. So the static_key bits brought an extra switch where there previously wasn't one. Things are further complicated by the fact that we cannot use static_key as early as we usually call set_sched_clock_stable(). Fix things by tracking the stable state in a regular variable and only set the static_key to the right state on sched_clock_init(), which is ran right after late_time_init->tsc_init(). Before this we would not be using the TSC anyway. Reported-and-Tested-by:

This reverts commit 282cf499 . With the current implementation, the load average statistics of a sched entity change according to other activity on the CPU even if this activity is done between the running window of the sched entity and have no influence on the running duration of the task. When a task wakes up on the same CPU, we currently update last_runnable_update with the return of __synchronize_entity_decay without updating the runnable_avg_sum and runnable_avg_period accordingly. In fact, we have to sync the load_contrib of the se with the rq's blocked_load_contrib before removing it from the latter (with __synchronize_entity_decay) but we must keep last_runnable_update unchanged for updating runnable_avg_sum/period during the next update_entity_load_avg.

Pull core debug changes from Ingo Molnar: "Currently there are two methods to set the panic_timeout: via 'panic=X' boot commandline option, or via /proc/sys/kernel/panic. This tree adds a third panic_timeout configuration method: configuration via Kconfig, via CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT=X - useful to distros that generally want their kernel defaults to come with the .config. CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT defaults to 0, which was the previous default value of panic_timeout. Doing that unearthed a few arch trickeries regarding arch-special panic_timeout values and related complications - hopefully all resolved to the satisfaction of everyone" * 'core-debug-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: powerpc: Clean up panic_timeout usage MIPS: Remove panic_timeout settings panic: Make panic_timeout configurable

Merge tag 'localmodconfig-v3.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-kconfig Pull localmodconfig update from Steven Rostedt: "While debugging the problem with localmodconfig and the ALSA codec modules all being set, I discovered a small bug in the dependency logic. If a config has a dependency based on its setting value, localmodcondig misses it. For example: config FOO default y if BAR || ZOO If FOO is needed for a module and is set to '=m', and so are BAR or ZOO, localmodconfig will not see that BAR or ZOO are also needed for the foo module, and will incorrectly disable them" * tag 'localmodconfig-v3.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-kconfig: localmodconfig: Add config depends by default settings
