ARM: kernel: update __cpu_disable to use cache LoUIS maintenance API

When a CPU is hotplugged out caches that reside in its power domain
lose their contents and so must be cleaned to the next memory level.

Currently, __cpu_disable calls flush_cache_all() that for new generation
processor like A15/A7 ends up cleaning and invalidating all cache levels
up to Level of Coherency, which includes the unified L2.

This ends up being a waste of cycles since the L2 cache contents are not
lost on power down.

This patch updates __cpu_disable to use the new LoUIS API cache operations.

Input: Send events one packet at a time

On heavy event loads, such as a multitouch driver, the irqsoff latency
can be as high as 250 us.  By accumulating a frame worth of data
before passing it on, the latency can be dramatically reduced.  As a
side effect, the special EV_SYN handling can be removed, since the
frame is now atomic.

This patch adds the events() handler callback and uses it if it
exists. The latency is improved by 50 us even without the callback.

Input: Improve the events-per-packet estimate

The events-per-packet estimate has so far been used by MT devices
only. This patch adjusts the packet buffer size to also accomodate the
KEY and MSC events.  Keyboards normally send one or two keys at a
time. MT devices normally send a number of button keys along with the
MT information.  The buffer size chosen here covers those cases, and
matches the default buffer size in evdev. Since the input estimate is
now preferred, remove the special input-mt estimate.

ARM: mutex: use generic atomic_dec-based implementation for ARMv6+

Commit a76d7bd96d65 ("ARM: 7467/1: mutex: use generic xchg-based
implementation for ARMv6+") removed the barrier-less, ARM-specific
mutex implementation in favour of the generic xchg-based code.

Since then, a bug was uncovered in the xchg code when running on SMP
platforms, due to interactions between the locking paths and the
MUTEX_SPIN_ON_OWNER code. This was fixed in 0bce9c46bf3b ("mutex: place
lock in contended state after fastpath_lock failure"), however, the
atomic_dec-based mutex algorithm is now marginally more efficient for
ARM (~0.5% improvement in hackbench scores on dual A15).

This patch moves ARMv6+ platforms to the atomic_dec-based mutex code.

writeback: fix occasional slow sync(1)

In case when system contains no dirty pages, wakeup_flusher_threads() will
submit WB_SYNC_NONE writeback for 0 pages so wb_writeback() exits
immediately without doing anything, even though there are dirty inodes in
the system.  Thus sync(1) will write all the dirty inodes from a
WB_SYNC_ALL writeback pass which is slow.

Fix the problem by using get_nr_dirty_pages() in wakeup_flusher_threads()
instead of calculating number of dirty pages manually.  That function also
takes number of dirty inodes into account.

rwsem-spinlock: Implement writer lock-stealing for better scalability

We (Linux Kernel Performance project) found a regression
introduced by commit:

  5a505085f043 mm/rmap: Convert the struct anon_vma::mutex to an rwsem

which converted all anon_vma::mutex locks rwsem write locks.

The semantics are the same, but the behavioral difference is
quite huge in some cases. After investigating it we found the
root cause: mutexes support lock stealing while rwsems don't.

Here is the link for the detailed regression report:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/29/84

Ingo suggested adding write lock stealing to rwsems:

    "I think we should allow lock-steal between rwsem writers - that
     will not hurt fairness as most rwsem fairness concerns relate to
     reader vs. writer fairness"

And here is the rwsem-spinlock version.

With this patch, we got a double performance increase in one
test box with following aim7 workfile:

    FILESIZE: 1M
    POOLSIZE: 10M
    10 fork_test

 /usr/bin/time output w/o patch                       /usr/bin/time_output with patch

We got a 45% increase in CPU usage and saved about 3/4 voluntary context switches.

rwsem: Implement writer lock-stealing for better scalability

Commit 5a505085f043 ("mm/rmap: Convert the struct anon_vma::mutex
to an rwsem") changed struct anon_vma::mutex to an rwsem, which
caused aim7 fork_test performance to drop by 50%.

Yuanhan Liu did the following excellent analysis:

    https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/29/84

and found that the regression is caused by strict, serialized,
FIFO sequential write-ownership of rwsems. Ingo suggested
implementing opportunistic lock-stealing for the front writer
task in the waitqueue.

Yuanhan Liu implemented lock-stealing for spinlock-rwsems,
which indeed recovered much of the regression - confirming
the analysis that the main factor in the regression was the
FIFO writer-fairness of rwsems.

In this patch we allow lock-stealing to happen when the first
waiter is also writer. With that change in place the
aim7 fork_test performance is fully recovered on my
Intel NHM EP, NHM EX, SNB EP 2S and 4S test-machines.

rwsem: shorter spinlocked section in rwsem_down_failed_common()

This change reduces the size of the spinlocked and TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE
sections in rwsem_down_failed_common():

- We only need the sem->wait_lock to insert ourselves on the wait_list;
  the waiter node can be prepared outside of the wait_lock.

- The task state only needs to be set to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE immediately
  before checking if we actually need to sleep; it doesn't need to protect
  the entire function.

rwsem: simplify rwsem_down_read_failed

When trying to acquire a read lock, the RWSEM_ACTIVE_READ_BIAS adjustment
doesn't cause other readers to block, so we never have to worry about waking
them back after canceling this adjustment in rwsem_down_read_failed().

We also never want to steal the lock in rwsem_down_read_failed(), so we
don't have to grab the wait_lock either.

rwsem: simplify rwsem_down_write_failed

When waking writers, we never grant them the lock - instead, they have
to acquire it themselves when they run, and remove themselves from the
wait_list when they succeed.

As a result, we can do a few simplifications in rwsem_down_write_failed():

- We don't need to check for !waiter.task since __rwsem_do_wake() doesn't
  remove writers from the wait_list

- There is no point releaseing the wait_lock before entering the wait loop,
  as we will need to reacquire it immediately. We can change the loop so
  that the lock is always held at the start of each loop iteration.

- We don't need to get a reference on the task structure, since the task
  is responsible for removing itself from the wait_list. There is no risk,
  like in the rwsem_down_read_failed() case, that a task would wake up and
  exit (thus destroying its task structure) while __rwsem_do_wake() is
  still running - wait_lock protects against that.
