sched: don't call task_group() many times in set_task_rq()

It improves perfomance, especially if autogroup enabled.

The size of set_task_rq() was 0x180 and now it is 0xa0.

slub: set slub_max_order to 0

To avoid locking and per-cpu overhead, SLUB optimisically uses
high-order allocations up to order-3 by default and falls back to lower
allocations if they fail.

So, with the default value (slub_max_order = 3), the kernel may ask up
to 3 contigous pages for each slab. However, with a reduced amount of
memory it is not worth to try to do order-3 allocations, it adds more
overhead (shrinkers have to free more objects to release any memory) and
probably it can easily fail to success with order-3 allocations.

For this reason it is better to immediately fallback to oder-0
allocations to reduce unnecessary overhead.

sched/nohz: Fix rq->cpu_load[] calculations

While investigating why the load-balancer did funny I found that the
rq->cpu_load[] tables were completely screwy.. a bit more digging
revealed that the updates that got through were missing ticks followed
by a catchup of 2 ticks.

The catchup assumes the cpu was idle during that time (since only nohz
can cause missed ticks and the machine is idle etc..) this means that
esp. the higher indices were significantly lower than they ought to
be.

The reason for this is that its not correct to compare against jiffies
on every jiffy on any other cpu than the cpu that updates jiffies.

This patch cludges around it by only doing the catch-up stuff from
nohz_idle_balance() and doing the regular stuff unconditionally from
the tick.

slub: zero page to fix boot crashes

Latest mmotm rarely boots if SLUB is enabled: earlyprintk=vga shows
it crashing with various backtraces.  The memset has now been removed
from kmem_cache_open(), so kmem_cache_init() needs to zero its page.
This gets SLUB booting reliably again.

sched: Improve scalability via 'CPU buddies', which withstand random perturbations

Traversing an entire package is not only expensive, it also leads to tasks
bouncing all over a partially idle and possible quite large package.  Fix
that up by assigning a 'buddy' CPU to try to motivate.  Each buddy may try
to motivate that one other CPU, if it's busy, tough, it may then try its
SMT sibling, but that's all this optimization is allowed to cost.

Sibling cache buddies are cross-wired to prevent bouncing.

4 socket 40 core + SMT Westmere box, single 30 sec tbench runs, higher is better:

 clients     1       2       4        8       16       32       64      128

ashmem: fix deadlock when system is low on memory
When system is low on memory, allocating memory while holding the
ashmem_mutex may try to directly reclaim memory. Then ashmem_shrink()
is called in same thread. It will deadlock at acquiring ashmem_mutex.
This change lets ashmem_shrink() return failure if ashmem_mutex is not
available. Memory will be reclaimed from others.
Add ARM CPU topology

** This is a combination of 12 commits.
** The first commit's message is:
Add ARM cpu topology definition

(Patch accepted by Russell for 3.1:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg131273.html)

The affinity between ARM processors is defined in the MPIDR register.
We can identify which processors are in the same cluster,
and which ones have performance interdependency. We can define the
cpu topology of ARM platform, that is then used by sched_mc and sched_smt.

The default state of sched_mc and sched_smt config is disable.
When enabled, the behavior of the scheduler can be modified with
sched_mc_power_savings and sched_smt_power_savings sysfs interfaces.

Changes since v4 :
*  Remove unnecessary parentheses and blank lines
