A Mandriva user reported this bug last week. Run the following program
as a normal user.

"""
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sched.h>

int main(void)
{
sched_rr_get_interval(1, NULL);
return 0;
}

You should get the following OOPS and the machine will hang.

That OOPS is from a -rc3-git1 Mandriva kernel, but the same thing
happens with you're latest tree.

I've reported it to vendor-sec but looks like it's only
present in 2.6.24-rcs and Ingo's CFS backports.

As Ingo's usually very responsive and he didn't answer me so
far I'm starting to think you can't reproduce this problem?

Anyway, the problem seems to be in sched_slice() called by
sys_sched_rr_get_interval():

time_slice = NS_TO_JIFFIES(sched_slice(cfs_rq_of(se), se));

sched_slice() will use 'cfs_rq->load.weight' as the base for a
division, which is zero for process 1.

The following hack fixes the problem for me.
