Subject: Re: Divide-by-zero in post_init_entity_util_avg

Chris Wilson reported a divide by 0 at:

post_init_entity_util_avg():

Which given the lack of serialization, and the code generated from
update_cfs_rq_load_avg() is entirely possible.

	if (atomic_long_read(&cfs_rq->removed_load_avg)) {
		s64 r = atomic_long_xchg(&cfs_rq->removed_load_avg, 0);
		sa->load_avg = max_t(long, sa->load_avg - r, 0);
		sa->load_sum = max_t(s64, sa->load_sum - r * LOAD_AVG_MAX, 0);
		removed_load = 1;
	}

turns into:

ffffffff81087064:       49 8b 85 98 00 00 00    mov    0x98(%r13),%rax
ffffffff8108706b:       48 85 c0                test   %rax,%rax
ffffffff8108706e:       74 40                   je     ffffffff810870b0 <update_blocked_averages+0xc0>
ffffffff81087070:       4c 89 f8                mov    %r15,%rax
ffffffff81087073:       49 87 85 98 00 00 00    xchg   %rax,0x98(%r13)
ffffffff8108707a:       49 29 45 70             sub    %rax,0x70(%r13)
ffffffff8108707e:       4c 89 f9                mov    %r15,%rcx
ffffffff81087081:       bb 01 00 00 00          mov    $0x1,%ebx
ffffffff81087086:       49 83 7d 70 00          cmpq   $0x0,0x70(%r13)
ffffffff8108708b:       49 0f 49 4d 70          cmovns 0x70(%r13),%rcx

Which you'll note ends up with sa->load_avg -= r in memory at
ffffffff8108707a.

Ludicrous code generation if you ask me; I'd have expected something
like (note, r15 holds 0):

	mov	%r15, %rax
	xchg	%rax, cfs_rq->removed_load_avg
	mov	sa->load_avg, %rcx
	sub	%rax, %rcx
	cmovs	%r15, %rcx
	mov	%rcx, sa->load_avg

Adding the serialization (to _both_ call sites) should fix this.
