That seems to be existing practice for this sort of thing.

The current load balancing scheme isn't good for group fairness.
For ex: on a 8-cpu system, I created 3 groups as under:
a = 8 tasks (cpu.shares = 1024)
b = 4 tasks (cpu.shares = 1024)
c = 3 tasks (cpu.shares = 1024)
a, b and c are task groups that have equal weight.
This patch changes how the cpu load exerted by fair_sched_class tasks
is calculated. Load exerted by fair_sched_class tasks on a cpu is now a
summation of the group weights, rather than summation of task weights.
Weight exerted by a group on a cpu is dependent on the shares allocated
to it.

The watchdog is "off" by default, meaning that you have to have
something actually start resetting the watchdog before it will start
running. That's why you are seeing this behavior.
There is a start_now option that will start the watchdog when it is
loaded, but then it will reset the system

This adds low-level support for a per-thread value of MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR.
The per-thread value is switched in when TIF_DEBUGCTLMSR is set.

This adjusts the x86 kprobes implementation to cope with per-thread
MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR being set for user mode. I haven't delved deep
enough into the kprobes code to be really sure this covers all the
cases where the user-mode BTF setting needs to be cleared or restored.
It looks about right to
This adds constant macros for a few of the bits in MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR.

This adds the (internal) Kconfig macro CONFIG_X86_DEBUGCTLMSR,

definitely supports MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR with the BTF flag.

This defines the new macro arch_has_block_step() in linux/ptrace.h, a
default for when asm/ptrace.h does not define it. This is the analog
of arch_has_single_step() for step-until-branch on machines that have
it. It declares the new user_enable_block_step function, which goes

This makes ptrace_request handle PTRACE_SINGLEBLOCK along with
PTRACE_CONT et al. The new generic code makes use of the
arch_has_block_step macro and generic entry points on machines
that define them.

This cleans up the 64-bit ptrace code to separate the guts of the
debug register access from the implementation of PTRACE_PEEKUSR and
PTRACE_POKEUSR. The new functions ptrace_[gs]et_debugreg are made
global so that the ia32 code can later be changed to call them too.

This cleans up the 32-bit ptrace code to separate the guts of the
debug register access from the implementation of PTRACE_PEEKUSR and
PTRACE_POKEUSR. The new functions ptrace_[gs]et_debugreg match the
new 64-bit entry points for parity, but they don't need to be global.

This defines the new standard arch_has_single_step macro. It makes the
existing set_single_step and clear_single_step entry points global, and
renames them to the new standard names user_enable_single_step and
user_disable_single_step, respectively.

Hi,
I have a Linksys NSLU2 running 2.6.21 (I can replicate the problem on
2.6.23 but it isn't fully supported on SlugOS). It is a armv5teb device
with 32MB of RAM, 400+ MB swap on its 160GB USB2 root disk. The machine is
used as a fileserver and to build packages for other ARM devices. It

This makes ptrace_request handle all the ptrace requests that wake
up the traced task. These do low-level ptrace implementation magic
that is not arch-specific and should be kept out of arch code. The
implementations on each arch usually do the same thing. The new
generic code makes use of the
This removes the single-step code from ptrace_32.c and uses the step.c code
shared with the 64-bit kernel. The two versions of the code were nearly
identical already, so the shared code has only a couple of simple #ifdef's.
