ARM: mm: implement LoUIS API for cache maintenance ops

ARM v7 architecture introduced the concept of cache levels and related
control registers. New processors like A7 and A15 embed an L2 unified cache
controller that becomes part of the cache level hierarchy. Some operations in
the kernel like cpu_suspend and __cpu_disable do not require a flush of the
entire cache hierarchy to DRAM but just the cache levels belonging to the
Level of Unification Inner Shareable (LoUIS), which in most of ARM v7 systems
correspond to L1.

The current cache flushing API used in cpu_suspend and __cpu_disable,
flush_cache_all(), ends up flushing the whole cache hierarchy since for
v7 it cleans and invalidates all cache levels up to Level of Coherency
(LoC) which cripples system performance when used in hot paths like hotplug
and cpuidle.

Therefore a new kernel cache maintenance API must be added to cope with
latest ARM system requirements.

This patch adds flush_cache_louis() to the ARM kernel cache maintenance API.

This function cleans and invalidates all data cache levels up to the
Level of Unification Inner Shareable (LoUIS) and invalidates the instruction
cache for processors that support it (> v7).

This patch also creates an alias of the cache LoUIS function to flush_kern_all
for all processor versions prior to v7, so that the current cache flushing
behaviour is unchanged for those processors.

v7 cache maintenance code implements a cache LoUIS function that cleans and
invalidates the D-cache up to LoUIS and invalidates the I-cache, according
to the new API.

ARM: mm: update __v7_setup() to the new LoUIS cache maintenance API

The ARMv7 processor setup function __v7_setup() cleans and invalidates the
CPU cache before enabling MMU to start the CPU with a clean CPU local cache.

But on ARMv7 architectures like Cortex-[A15/A8], this code will end
up flushing the L2 caches(up to level of Coherency) which is undesirable
and expensive. The setup functions are used in the CPU hotplug scenario too
and hence flushing all cache levels should be avoided.

This patch replaces the cache flushing call with the newly introduced
v7 dcache LoUIS API where only cache levels up to LoUIS are cleaned and
invalidated when a processors executes __v7_setup which is the expected
behavior.

For processors like A9 and A5 where the L2 cache is an outer one the
behavior should be unchanged.

ARM: 7408/1: cacheflush: return error to userspace when flushing syscall fails

The cacheflush syscall can fail for two reasons:

(1) The arguments are invalid (nonsensical address range or no VMA)

(2) The region generates a translation fault on a VIPT or PIPT cache

This patch allows do_cache_op to return an error code to userspace in
the case of the above. The various coherent_user_range implementations
are modified to return 0 in the case of VIVT caches or -EFAULT in the
case of an abort on v6/v7 cores.

sched: Implement smarter wake-affine logic

The wake-affine scheduler feature is currently always trying to pull
the wakee close to the waker. In theory this should be beneficial if
the waker's CPU caches hot data for the wakee, and it's also beneficial
in the extreme ping-pong high context switch rate case.

Testing shows it can benefit hackbench up to 15%.

However, the feature is somewhat blind, from which some workloads
such as pgbench suffer. It's also time-consuming algorithmically.

Testing shows it can damage pgbench up to 50% - far more than the
benefit it brings in the best case.

So wake-affine should be smarter and it should realize when to
stop its thankless effort at trying to find a suitable CPU to wake on.

This patch introduces 'wakee_flips', which will be increased each
time the task flips (switches) its wakee target.

So a high 'wakee_flips' value means the task has more than one
wakee, and the bigger the number, the higher the wakeup frequency.

Now when making the decision on whether to pull or not, pay attention to
the wakee with a high 'wakee_flips', pulling such a task may benefit
the wakee. Also imply that the waker will face cruel competition later,
it could be very cruel or very fast depends on the story behind
'wakee_flips', waker therefore suffers.

Furthermore, if waker also has a high 'wakee_flips', that implies that
multiple tasks rely on it, then waker's higher latency will damage all
of them, so pulling wakee seems to be a bad deal.

Thus, when 'waker->wakee_flips / wakee->wakee_flips' becomes
higher and higher, the cost of pulling seems to be worse and worse.

The patch therefore helps the wake-affine feature to stop its pulling
work when:

	wakee->wakee_flips > factor &&
	waker->wakee_flips > (factor * wakee->wakee_flips)

The 'factor' here is the number of CPUs in the current CPU's NUMA node,
so a bigger node will lead to more pulling since the trial becomes more
severe.

After applying the patch, pgbench shows up to 40% improvements and no regressions.

Tested with 12 cpu x86 server and tip 3.10.0-rc7.

The percentages in the final column highlight the areas with the biggest wins,
all other areas improved as well:

sched: Fix clear NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK

I have faced a sequence where the Idle Load Balance was sometime not
triggered for a while on my platform, in the following scenario:

 CPU 0 and CPU 1 are running tasks and CPU 2 is idle

 CPU 1 kicks the Idle Load Balance
 CPU 1 selects CPU 2 as the new Idle Load Balancer
 CPU 2 sets NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK for CPU 2
 CPU 2 sends a reschedule IPI to CPU 2

 While CPU 3 wakes up, CPU 0 or CPU 1 migrates a waking up task A on CPU 2

 CPU 2 finally wakes up, runs task A and discards the Idle Load Balance
       task A quickly goes back to sleep (before a tick occurs on CPU 2)
 CPU 2 goes back to idle with NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK set

Whenever CPU 2 will be selected as the ILB, no reschedule IPI will be sent
because NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK is already set and no Idle Load Balance will be
performed.

We must wait for the sched softirq to be raised on CPU 2 thanks to another
part the kernel to come back to clear NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK.

The proposed solution clears NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK in schedule_ipi if
we can't raise the sched_softirq for the Idle Load Balance.

Change since V1:

- move the clear of NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK in got_nohz_idle_kick if the ILB
  can't run on this CPU (as suggested by Peter)

sched: reinitialize rq->next_balance when a CPU is hot-added

Reinitialize rq->next_balance when a CPU is hot-added.  Otherwise,
scheduler domain rebalancing may be skipped if rq->next_balance was
set to a future time when the CPU was last active, and the
newly-re-added CPU is in idle_balance().  As a result, the
newly-re-added CPU will remain idle with no tasks scheduled until the
softlockup watchdog runs - potentially 4 seconds later.  This can
waste energy and reduce performance.

This behavior can be observed in some SoC kernels, which use CPU
hotplug to dynamically remove and add CPUs in response to load.  In
one case that triggered this behavior,

0. the system started with all cores enabled, running multi-threaded
   CPU-bound code;

1. the system entered some single-threaded code;

2. a CPU went idle and was hot-removed;

3. the system started executing a multi-threaded CPU-bound task;

4. the CPU from event 2 was re-added, to respond to the load.

The time interval between events 2 and 4 was approximately 300
milliseconds.

Of course, ideally CPU hotplug would not be used in this manner,
but this patch does appear to fix a real bug.

Nvidia folks: this patch is submitted as at least a partial fix for
bug 1243368 ("[sched] Load-balancing not happening correctly after
cores brought online")

 freezer: skip waking up tasks with PF_FREEZER_SKIP set

Android goes through suspend/resume very often (every few seconds when
on a busy wifi network with the screen off), and a significant portion
of the energy used to go in and out of suspend is spent in the
freezer.  If a task has called freezer_do_not_count(), don't bother
waking it up.  If it happens to wake up later it will call
freezer_count() and immediately enter the refrigerator.

Combined with patches to convert freezable helpers to use
freezer_do_not_count() and convert common sites where idle userspace
tasks are blocked to use the freezable helpers, this reduces the
time and energy required to suspend and resume.

freezer: shorten freezer sleep time using exponential backoff
 freezer: convert freezable helpers to freezer_do_not_count()

Freezing tasks will wake up almost every userspace task from
where it is blocking and force it to run until it hits a
call to try_to_sleep(), generally on the exit path from the syscall
it is blocking in.  On resume each task will run again, usually
restarting the syscall and running until it hits the same
blocking call as it was originally blocked in.

Convert the existing wait_event_freezable* wrappers to use
freezer_do_not_count().  Combined with a previous patch,
these tasks will not run during suspend or resume unless they wake
up for another reason, in which case they will run until they hit
the try_to_freeze() in freezer_count(), and then continue processing
the wakeup after tasks are thawed.

This results in a small change in behavior, previously a race
between freezing and a normal wakeup would be won by the wakeup,
now the task will freeze and then handle the wakeup after thawing.
