cpufreq: ondemand: Remove unnecessary synchronization attempt

Commit 1ce28d6b (ondemand: updated tune for hardware coordination)
brings in an attempt to synchronize expiry of per-cpu ondemand timer
at same time across all online cpus. This is meant to help systems
where "multiple cores share P-state via Hardware Coordination".

Synchronization is achieved by having timers expire when jiffy value
would be a perfect multiple of sampling window size. While such
synchronozation attemps are unnecessary on systems where cores don't
share P-states, it can hurt on power as cpus can now work off shorter
sampling windows (when percentage utilization over short window can be
observed to be high, causing frequency to be boosted).

Remove this unnecessary attempt to synchronize expiry of ondemand
timer across online cpus. A more acceptable solution could be to have
low-level architecture specific cpufreq driver indicate the need for
synchronization.

cpufreq: Sync on thread migration optimizations

When threads migrate between CPUs the destination CPU will temporarily
have a boosted frequency and the source CPU will have a residual higher
frequency even though the load could have just been reduced. To avoid
leaving CPUs at a high frequencies notify the source CPU after a thread
migration and make the interactive governor's timer reschedule
conditionally.

cpufreq: interactive: Don't reset sampling down factor at max freq

A previous patch sets the min_sample_time to zero if the cpufreq
min/max limits have changed which would bring down the frequency
in the next sample even if min_sample_time doesnt allow it to do so.
This could severly affect benchmarks if this is applied to max
frequencies as min_sample_time for max frequencies is set to
sampling_down_factor.
This patch resets the limits_changed flag for cases where timer fires
while running at max frequencies so that sampling_down_factor is
still applicable as before.

cpufreq: interactive: Remove unnecessary cpu_online() check

Cpufreq no longer calls governor callback for offlined cpus. i.e. All
policy->cpus are guaranteed to be online. Hence we don't need explicit check to
see if cpu is online or not.

cpufreq: cpu-boost: Re-issue boosts above minimum frequency

Frequency boosts where the source CPU frequency is greater than CPU's
minimum frequency should always go through regardless of the destination
CPU's current frequency. This fixes a performance issue where the governor
lowers the CPU frequency shortly after a thread is migrated to it because
the boost wasn't re-issued.

msm: cpufreq: Fix msm_cpufreq_get_freq() for sync CPUs

When CPUs are in sync, only CPU0 has a non-NULL cpu_clk. clk_get_rate()
on other cpu_clk will return 0. msm_cpufreq_get_freq() is used in multiple
places in cpufreq framework to determine current hardware frequency.

Fix msm_cpufreq_get_freq() to return the right hardware frequency for
systems with synchronous CPUs.

n_tty: Fix n_tty_write crash when echoing in raw mode

The tty atomic_write_lock does not provide an exclusion guarantee for
the tty driver if the termios settings are LECHO & !OPOST.  And since
it is unexpected and not allowed to call TTY buffer helpers like
tty_insert_flip_string concurrently, this may lead to crashes when
concurrect writers call pty_write. In that case the following two
writers:
* the ECHOing from a workqueue and
* pty_write from the process
race and can overflow the corresponding TTY buffer like follows.

If we look into tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag, there is:
  int space = __tty_buffer_request_room(port, goal, flags);
  struct tty_buffer *tb = port->buf.tail;
  ...
  memcpy(char_buf_ptr(tb, tb->used), chars, space);
  ...
  tb->used += space;

so the race of the two can result in something like this:
              A                                B
__tty_buffer_request_room
                                  __tty_buffer_request_room
memcpy(buf(tb->used), ...)
tb->used += space;
                                  memcpy(buf(tb->used), ...) ->BOOM

B's memcpy is past the tty_buffer due to the previous A's tb->used
increment.

Since the N_TTY line discipline input processing can output
concurrently with a tty write, obtain the N_TTY ldisc output_lock to
serialize echo output with normal tty writes.  This ensures the tty
buffer helper tty_insert_flip_string is not called concurrently and
everything is fine.

Note that this is nicely reproducible by an ordinary user using
forkpty and some setup around that (raw termios + ECHO). And it is
present in kernels at least after commit
d945cb9cce20ac7143c2de8d88b187f62db99bdc (pty: Rework the pty layer to
use the normal buffering logic) in 2.6.31-rc3.
