Subject: rt: Introduce cpu_chill()
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
Date: Wed Mar  7 20:51:03 2012 +0100

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

Retry loops on RT might loop forever when the modifying side was
preempted. Add cpu_chill() to replace cpu_relax(). cpu_chill()
defaults to cpu_relax() for non RT. On RT it puts the looping task to
sleep for a tick so the preempted task can make progress.

Steven Rostedt changed it to use a hrtimer instead of msleep():
|
|Ulrich Obergfell pointed out that cpu_chill() calls msleep() which is woken
|up by the ksoftirqd running the TIMER softirq. But as the cpu_chill() is
|called from softirq context, it may block the ksoftirqd() from running, in
|which case, it may never wake up the msleep() causing the deadlock.

+ bigeasy later changed to schedule_hrtimeout()
|If a task calls cpu_chill() and gets woken up by a regular or spurious
|wakeup and has a signal pending, then it exits the sleep loop in
|do_nanosleep() and sets up the restart block. If restart->nanosleep.type is
|not TI_NONE then this results in accessing a stale user pointer from a
|previously interrupted syscall and a copy to user based on the stale
|pointer or a BUG() when 'type' is not supported in nanosleep_copyout().

+ bigeasy: add PF_NOFREEZE:
