<title>hrtimer: prevent overrun DoS in hrtimer_forward()</title>

hrtimer_forward() does not check for the possible overflow of
timer-&gt;expires.  This can happen on 64 bit machines with large interval
values and results currently in an endless loop in the softirq because the
expiry value becomes negative and therefor the timer is expired all the
time.

Check for this condition and set the expiry value to the max.  expiry time
in the future.  The fix should be applied to stable kernel series as well.

lockdep_init() is marked __init but used in several places
outside __init code. This causes following warnings:
$ scripts/mod/modpost kernel/lockdep.o
WARNING: kernel/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:lockdep_init from .text.lockdep_init_map after 'lockdep_init_map' (at offset 0x105)
WARNING: kernel/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:lockdep_init from .text.lockdep_reset_lock after 'lockdep_reset_lock' (at offset 0x35)
WARNING: kernel/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:lockdep_init from .text.__lock_acquire after '__lock_acquire' (at offset 0xb2)

The warnings are less obviously due to heavy inlining by gcc - this is not
altered.

Fix the section mismatch warnings by removing the __init marking, which
seems obviously wrong.

kernel/time/clocksource.c needs struct task_struct on m68k.

Because it uses spin_unlock_irq(), which, on m68k, uses hardirq_count(), which
uses preempt_count(), which needs to dereference struct task_struct, we
have to include sched.h. Because it would cause a loop inclusion, we
cannot include sched.h in any other of asm-m68k/system.h,
linux/thread_info.h, linux/hardirq.h, which leaves this ugly include in
a C file as the only simple solution.

<title>sched: fix SMT scheduler bug</title>

<content type='text'>
The SMT scheduler incorrectly skips kernel threads even if they are
runnable (but they are preempted by a higher-prio user-space task which got
SMT-delayed by an even higher-priority task running on a sibling CPU).

Fix this for now by only doing the SMT-nice optimization if the
to-be-delayed task is the only runnable task.  (This should cover most of
the real-life cases anyway.)

This bug has been in the SMT scheduler since 2.6.17 or so, but has only
been noticed now by the active check in the dynticks code.

Commit b18ec80396834497933d77b81ec0918519f4e2a7 
    [PATCH] sched: improve migration accuracy
optimized the scheduler time calculations, but broke posix-cpu-timers.

The problem is that the p-&gt;last_ran value is not updated after a context
switch. So a subsequent call to current_sched_time() calculates with a
stale p-&gt;last_ran value, i.e. accounts the full time, which the task was
scheduled away.
