mm: compaction: introduce isolate_migratepages_range()

This commit introduces isolate_migratepages_range() function which
extracts functionality from isolate_migratepages() so that it can be
used on arbitrary PFN ranges.

isolate_migratepages() function is implemented as a simple wrapper
around isolate_migratepages_range().

mm: compaction: introduce map_pages()

This commit creates a map_pages() function which map pages freed
using split_free_pages().  This merely moves some code from
isolate_freepages() so that it can be reused in other places.

mm: compaction: introduce isolate_freepages_range()

This commit introduces isolate_freepages_range() function which
generalises isolate_freepages_block() so that it can be used on
arbitrary PFN ranges.

isolate_freepages_block() is left with only minor changes.

cpufreq: interactive: always limit initial speed bump to hispeed

First bump speed up to hispeed_freq whenever the current speed is below
hispeed_freq, instead of only when the current speed is the minimum speed.
The previous code made it too difficult to use hispeed_freq as a common
intermediate speed on systems that frequently run at speeds between
minimum and hispeed_freq.

kthread_worker: reorganize to prepare for flush_kthread_work() reimplementation

Make the following two non-functional changes.

* Separate out insert_kthread_work() from queue_kthread_work().

* Relocate struct kthread_flush_work and kthread_flush_work_fn()
  definitions above flush_kthread_work().

v2: Added lockdep_assert_held() in insert_kthread_work() as suggested
    by Andy Walls.

kthread_worker: reimplement flush_kthread_work() to allow freeing the work item being executed

kthread_worker provides minimalistic workqueue-like interface for
users which need a dedicated worker thread (e.g. for realtime
priority).  It has basic queue, flush_work, flush_worker operations
which mostly match the workqueue counterparts; however, due to the way
flush_work() is implemented, it has a noticeable difference of not
allowing work items to be freed while being executed.

While the current users of kthread_worker are okay with the current
behavior, the restriction does impede some valid use cases.  Also,
removing this difference isn't difficult and actually makes the code
easier to understand.

This patch reimplements flush_kthread_work() such that it uses a
flush_work item instead of queue/done sequence numbers.

ARM: 7467/1: mutex: use generic xchg-based implementation for ARMv6+

The open-coded mutex implementation for ARMv6+ cores suffers from a
severe lack of barriers, so in the uncontended case we don't actually
protect any accesses performed during the critical section.

Furthermore, the code is largely a duplication of the ARMv6+ atomic_dec
code but optimised to remove a branch instruction, as the mutex fastpath
was previously inlined. Now that this is executed out-of-line, we can
reuse the atomic access code for the locking (in fact, we use the xchg
code as this produces shorter critical sections).

This patch uses the generic xchg based implementation for mutexes on
ARMv6+, which introduces barriers to the lock/unlock operations and also
has the benefit of removing a fair amount of inline assembly code.

Scm: Remove unnecessary pid & credential references in Unix socket's send and receive path

Patch series 109f6e39..7361c36c back in 2.6.36 added functionality to
allow credentials to work across pid namespaces for packets sent via
UNIX sockets.  However, the atomic reference counts on pid and
credentials caused plenty of cache bouncing when there are numerous
threads of the same pid sharing a UNIX socket.  This patch mitigates the
problem by eliminating extraneous reference counts on pid and
credentials on both send and receive path of UNIX sockets. I found a 2x
improvement in hackbench's threaded case.

On the receive path in unix_dgram_recvmsg, currently there is an
increment of reference count on pid and credentials in scm_set_cred.
Then there are two decrement of the reference counts.  Once in scm_recv
and once when skb_free_datagram call skb->destructor function
unix_destruct_scm.  One pair of increment and decrement of ref count on
pid and credentials can be eliminated from the receive path.  Until we
destroy the skb, we already set a reference when we created the skb on
the send side.

On the send path, there are two increments of ref count on pid and
credentials, once in scm_send and once in unix_scm_to_skb.  Then there
is a decrement of the reference counts in scm_destroy's call to
scm_destroy_cred at the end of unix_dgram_sendmsg functions.   One pair
of increment and decrement of the reference counts can be removed so we
only need to increment the ref counts once.

By incorporating these changes, for hackbench running on a 4 socket
NHM-EX machine with 40 cores, the execution of hackbench on
50 groups of 20 threads sped up by factor of 2.

Hackbench command used for testing:
./hackbench 50 thread 2000

Revert "Scm: Remove unnecessary pid & credential references in Unix socket's send and receive path"

This reverts commit 0856a304091b33a8e8f9f9c98e776f425af2b625.

As requested by Eric Dumazet, it has various ref-counting
problems and has introduced regressions.  Eric will add
a more suitable version of this performance fix.
