sched/cache: Keep nr_pref_llc_running in the runnable domain, to fix LLC mis-scheduling buggrafted
alb_break_llc() decides whether to break LLC preference during active load balance. It does so by testing that every runnable fair task on the source rq prefers its LLC: env->src_rq->nr_pref_llc_running == env->src_rq->cfs.h_nr_runnable But the two counters cover different sets. nr_pref_llc_running is updated in account_llc_enqueue()/account_llc_dequeue(), next to cfs_rq->nr_queued, so it follows queued tasks. h_nr_runnable is updated in set_delayed()/ clear_delayed() and drops delay-dequeued tasks. So under DELAY_DEQUEUE, a preferring task that goes to sleep stays counted in nr_pref_llc_running while h_nr_runnable falls. The equality then breaks, alb_break_llc() returns false, and active balance is free to pull a task off its preferred LLC. Active balance only moves runnable tasks, and this is the only LLC check it consults: once the stopper runs, LBF_ACTIVE_LB skips the per-task test in can_migrate_task(). The runnable set is the one we want. Fix it on the counter side. A task should be counted in nr_pref_llc_running exactly while it is both queued on its preferred LLC (pref_llc_queued) and runnable (!sched_delayed). Define that membership once in task_pref_llc_runnable(), and adjust the counter only through pref_llc_running_inc()/pref_llc_running_dec() from the four sites that change either input: account_llc_enqueue(), account_llc_dequeue(), set_delayed() and clear_delayed(). Gating every update on the same predicate keeps the delay, wake and dequeue paths from double-counting or underflowing; see the comments at those sites for the ordering. nr_llc_running and sd->llc_counts are not touched and stay on queued semantics.

+Description:
+ This folder includes the attributes related with PPI (Physical
+ Presence Interface). Only if TPM is supported by BIOS, this
+ folder makes sense. The folder path can be got by command
+ 'find /sys/ -name 'pcrs''. For the detail information of PPI,
+ please refer to the PPI specification from
+
+ http://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org/
+
+ In Linux 4.2 ppi was moved to the character device directory.
+ A symlink from tpmX/device/ppi to tpmX/ppi to provide backwards
+ compatibility.

+What: /sys/class/tpm/tpmX/ppi/version
+Date: August 2012

+Description:
+ This attribute shows the version of the PPI supported by the

+What: /sys/class/tpm/tpmX/ppi/request
+Date: August 2012
+Contact: xiaoyan.zhang@intel.com
+Description:
+ This attribute shows the request for an operation to be
+ executed in the pre-OS environment. It is the only input from
+ the OS to the pre-OS environment. The request should be an
+ integer value range from 1 to 160, and 0 means no request.
+ This file can be read and written.

+Description:
+ This attribute shows the response to the most recent operation
+ request it acted upon. The format is "<request> <response num>
+ : <response description>".
+ This file is readonly.

+ take place in order to transition to the BIOS for execution of
+ a requested operation. The format is "<action num>: <action

+Description:

+ for the requests defined by TCG, i.e. requests from 1 to 22.
+ The format is "<request> <status num>: <status description>".
