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.

+config EARLY_PRINTK
+ bool "Early printk" if EXPERT
+ depends on SYS_HAS_EARLY_PRINTK
+ default y
+ help
+ This option enables special console drivers which allow the kernel
+ to print messages very early in the bootup process.
+
+ This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very
+ early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation,
+ it is not recommended because it looks ugly on some machines and
+ doesn't cooperate with an X server. You should normally say N here,
+ unless you want to debug such a crash.

+ bool "Built-in kernel command line"
+ help
+ For most systems, it is firmware or second stage bootloader that
+ by default specifies the kernel command line options. However,
+ it might be necessary or advantageous to either override the
+ default kernel command line or add a few extra options to it.
+ For such cases, this option allows you to hardcode your own
+ command line options directly into the kernel. For that, you
+ should choose 'Y' here, and fill in the extra boot arguments
+ in CONFIG_CMDLINE.
+
+ The built-in options will be concatenated to the default command
+ line if CMDLINE_OVERRIDE is set to 'N'. Otherwise, the default
+ command line will be ignored and replaced by the built-in string.

+ Most MIPS systems will normally expect 'N' here and rely upon
+ the command line from the firmware or the second-stage bootloader.

+ On some platforms, there is currently no way for the boot loader to
+ pass arguments to the kernel. For these platforms, and for the cases
+ when you want to add some extra options to the command line or ignore
+ the default command line, you can supply some command-line options at
+ build time by entering them here. In other cases you can specify
+ kernel args so that you don't have to set them up in board prom
+ initialization routines.
+
+ For more information, see the CMDLINE_BOOL and CMDLINE_OVERRIDE
+ options.
