sync: don't block the flusher thread waiting on IO

When sync does it's WB_SYNC_ALL writeback, it issues data Io and
then immediately waits for IO completion. This is done in the
context of the flusher thread, and hence completely ties up the
flusher thread for the backing device until all the dirty inodes
have been synced. On filesystems that are dirtying inodes constantly
and quickly, this means the flusher thread can be tied up for
minutes per sync call and hence badly affect system level write IO
performance as the page cache cannot be cleaned quickly.

We already have a wait loop for IO completion for sync(2), so cut
this out of the flusher thread and delegate it to wait_sb_inodes().
Hence we can do rapid IO submission, and then wait for it all to
complete.

Effect of sync on fsmark before the patch:

FSUse%        Count         Size    Files/sec     App Overhead

     0       640000         4096      35154.6          1026984
     0       720000         4096      36740.3          1023844
     0       800000         4096      36184.6           916599
     0       880000         4096       1282.7          1054367
     0       960000         4096       3951.3           918773
     0      1040000         4096      40646.2           996448
     0      1120000         4096      43610.1           895647
     0      1200000         4096      40333.1           921048

And a single sync pass took:

  real    0m52.407s
  user    0m0.000s
  sys     0m0.090s

After the patch, there is no impact on fsmark results, and each
individual sync(2) operation run concurrently with the same fsmark
workload takes roughly 7s:

  real    0m6.930s
  user    0m0.000s
  sys     0m0.039s

IOWs, sync is 7-8x faster on a busy filesystem and does not have an
adverse impact on ongoing async data write operations.

ARM: 7486/1: sched_clock: update epoch_cyc on resume

Many clocks that are used to provide sched_clock will reset during
suspend.  If read_sched_clock returns 0 after suspend, sched_clock will
appear to jump forward.  This patch resets cd.epoch_cyc to the current
value of read_sched_clock during resume, which causes sched_clock() just
after suspend to return the same value as sched_clock() just before
suspend.

In addition, during the window where epoch_ns has been updated before
suspend, but epoch_cyc has not been updated after suspend, it is unknown
whether the clock has reset or not, and sched_clock() could return a
bogus value.  Add a suspended flag, and return the pre-suspend epoch_ns
value during this period.

The new behavior is triggered by calling setup_sched_clock_needs_suspend
instead of setup_sched_clock.

ARM: 7565/1: sched: stop sched_clock() during suspend

The scheduler imposes a requirement to sched_clock()
which is to stop the clock during suspend, if we don't
do that any RT thread will be rescheduled in the future
which might cause any sort of problems.

This became an issue on OMAP when we converted omap-i2c.c
to use threaded IRQs, it turned out that depending on how
much time we spent on suspend, the I2C IRQ thread would
end up being rescheduled so far in the future that I2C
transfers would timeout and, because omap_hsmmc depends
on an I2C-connected device to detect if an MMC card is
inserted in the slot, our rootfs would just vanish.

arch/arm/kernel/sched_clock.c already had an optional
implementation (sched_clock_needs_suspend()) which would
handle scheduler's requirement properly, what this patch
does is simply to make that implementation non-optional.

Note that this has the side-effect that printk timings
won't reflect the actual time spent on suspend so other
methods to measure that will have to be used.

This has been tested with beagleboard XM (OMAP3630) and
pandaboard rev A3 (OMAP4430). Suspend to RAM is now working
after this patch.

Thanks to Kevin Hilman for helping out with debugging.
