Subject: [TIP,BISECTED] Negative nice values have become big positive numbers
(Forgot to cc lkml. Resending...)
Formally negative nice values have started become very big in positive
integers in -tip kernels:

I've just finished bisecting down to this commit:

tracing: infrastructure for supporting binary record
Impact: save on memory for tracing
Current tracers are typically using a struct(like struct ftrace_entry,
struct ctx_switch_entry, struct special_entr etc...)to record a binary
event. These structs can only record a their own kind of events.
A new kind of tracer need a new struct and a lot of code too handle it.
So we need a generic binary record for events. This infrastructure
is for this purpose.
[fweisbec@...il.com: rebase against latest -tip, make it safe while sched
tracing as reported by Steven Rostedt]
