sched: Fix poor interactivity on UP systems due to group scheduler nice tune bug
Michael Witten and Christian Kujau reported that the autogroup
scheduling feature hurts interactivity on their UP systems.
It turns out that this is an older bug in the group scheduling code,
and the wider appeal provided by the autogroup feature exposed it
more prominently.
When on UP with FAIR_GROUP_SCHED enabled, tune shares
only affect tg->shares, but is not reflected in
tg->se->load. The reason is that update_cfs_shares()
does nothing on UP.
So introduce update_cfs_shares() for UP && FAIR_GROUP_SCHED.
This issue was found when enable autogroup scheduling was enabled,
but it is an older bug that also exists on cgroup.cpu on UP.

BUILD_BUG_ON: make it handle more cases
BUILD_BUG_ON used to use the optimizer to do code elimination or fail
at link time; it was changed to first the size of a negative array (a
nicer compile time error), then (in 8c87df457cb58fe75b9b893007917cf8095660a0) to a bitfield.
This forced us to change some non-constant cases to MAYBE_BUILD_BUG_ON();
as Jan points out in that commit, it didn't work as intended anyway.
bitfields: needs a literal constant at parse time, and can't be put under
"if (__builtin_constant_p(x))" for example.
negative array: can handle anything, but if the compiler can't tell it's
a constant, silently has no effect.
link time: breaks link if the compiler can't determine the value, but the
linker output is not usually as informative as a compiler error.
If we use the negative-array-size method *and* the link time trick,
we get the ability to use BUILD_BUG_ON() under __builtin_constant_p()
branches, and maximal ability for the compiler to detect errors at
build time.
We also document it thoroughly.

Although the last_pfn obtained from the startup info is 0x26700, which
should in turn not be hit, the additional 8MB which are added as extra
memory normally seem to be ok. This lead to looking into the initial
p2m tree construction, which uses the smaller value and assuming that
there is other code handling the extra memory.
When the p2m tree is set up, the leaves are directly pointed to the
array which the domain builder set up. But if the mapping is not on a
boundary that fits into one p2m page, this will result in the last leaf
being only partially valid. And as the invalid entries are not
initialized in that case, things go badly wrong.
I am trying to fix that by checking whether the current leaf is a
complete map and if not, allocate a completely new page and copy only
the valid pointers there. This may not be the most efficient or elegant
solution, but at least it seems to allow me booting DomUs with memory
assignments all over the range.

powerpc: Don't silently handle machine checks from userspace
If a machine check comes from userspace we send a SIGBUS to the task and
fail to printk anything.
If we are taking machine checks due to bad hardware we want to know about
it right away. Furthermore if we don't complain loudly then it will look
a lot like a bug in the userspace application, potentially causing a lot
of confusion.

powerpc: Never halt RTAS error logging after receiving an unrecoverable machine check
Newer versions of the System p firwmare send a partial RTAS error log in the
machine check handler with a more detailed response appearing sometime later
via check event.
This means at machine check time we do not have enough information to
ascertain exactly what went on. Furthermore, I have found the RTAS error
logs in the machine check handler contain no useful information, so halting on
them makes little sense. If we want to halt it would make more sense to do
it following the error log received sometime later via check event.
In light of this, never halt the error log in the pseries machine
check handler.
