[LINARO] workqueues: Introduce new flag WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT for power oriented workqueues

Adapted for 3.4 from lsk-v3.10

Workqueues can be performance or power-oriented. Currently, most workqueues are
bound to the CPU they were created on. This gives good performance (due to cache
effects) at the cost of potentially waking up otherwise idle cores (Idle from
scheduler's perspective. Which may or may not be physically idle) just to
process some work. To save power, we can allow the work to be rescheduled on a
core that is already awake.

Workqueues created with the WQ_UNBOUND flag will allow some power savings.
However, we don't change the default behaviour of the system.  To enable
power-saving behaviour, a new config option CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT needs to
be turned on. This option can also be overridden by the
workqueue.power_efficient boot parameter.

tj: Updated config description and comments.  Renamed
    CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT to CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT_DEFAULT.

[LINARO] workqueue: Add system wide power_efficient workqueues

Adapted for 3.4 from lsk-v3.10

This patch adds system wide workqueues aligned towards power saving. This is
done by allocating them with WQ_UNBOUND flag if 'wq_power_efficient' is set to
'true'.

tj: updated comments a bit.

[LINARO] block: queue work on power efficient wq

Adapted for 3.4 from lsk-v3.10

Block layer uses workqueues for multiple purposes. There is no real dependency
of scheduling these on the cpu which scheduled them.

On a idle system, it is observed that and idle cpu wakes up many times just to
service this work. It would be better if we can schedule it on a cpu which the
scheduler believes to be the most appropriate one.

This patch replaces normal workqueues with power efficient versions.

[LINARO] ASoC: pcm: Use the power efficient workqueue for delayed powerdown

Adapted for 3.4 from lsk-v3.10

There is no need to use a normal per-CPU workqueue for delayed power downs
as they're not timing or performance critical and waking up a core for them
would defeat some of the point.

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.

ARM: cacheflush: split user cache-flushing into interruptible chunks

Flushing a large, non-faulting VMA from userspace can potentially result
in a long time spent flushing the cache line-by-line without preemption
occurring (in the case of CONFIG_PREEMPT=n).

Whilst this doesn't affect the stability of the system, it can certainly
affect the responsiveness and CPU availability for other tasks.

This patch splits up the user cacheflush code so that it flushes in
chunks of a page. After each chunk has been flushed, we may reschedule
if appropriate and, before processing the next chunk, we allow any
pending signals to be handled before resuming from where we left off.

ARM: cacheflush: don't bother rounding to nearest vma

do_cache_op finds the lowest VMA contained in the specified address
range and rounds the range to cover only the mapped addresses.

Since commit 4542b6a0fa6b ("ARM: 7365/1: drop unused parameter from
flush_cache_user_range") the VMA is not used for anything else in this
code and seeing as the low-level cache flushing routines return -EFAULT
if the address is not valid, there is no need for this range truncation.

This patch removes the VMA handling code from the cacheflushing syscall.

ARM: 7917/1: cacheflush: correctly limit range of memory region being flushed

commit b31459adeab018b297541e288ac88873011da82a upstream.

The __do_cache_op function operates with a 'chunk' size of one page
but fails to limit the size of the final chunk so as to not exceed
the specified memory region. Fix this.

mm: writeback: every 500ms the writeback daemon kicks in and flushes the dirty pages into disk.

Thats not very pleasant for performance and *maybe* battery. This patch disables the writeback function while the screen is on,
and enables it back when the screen is off to flush all the dirty pages.
In my real world usage testing I notice a slight bump in smoothness and performance while using the device.
