timer: optimize apply_slack()

__fls(mask) is equivalent to find_last_bit(&mask, BITS_PER_LONG), but cheaper.
find_last_bit was showing up high on the list when I was profiling for stalls
on icache misses on a system with very small cache size (MIPS).

mm, vmalloc: use well-defined find_last_bit() func

Our intention in here is to find last_bit within the region to flush.
There is well-defined function, find_last_bit() for this purpose and
it's performance may be slightly better than current implementation.
So change it.

ARM: cacheflush: don't round address range up to nearest page

The flush_cache_user_range macro takes a pair of addresses describing
the start and end of the virtual address range to flush. Due to an
accidental oversight when flush_cache_range_user was introduced, the
address range was rounded up so that the start and end addresses were
page-aligned.

For historical reference, the interesting commits in history.git are:

10eacf1775e1 ("[ARM] Clean up ARM cache handling interfaces (part 1)")
71432e79b76b ("[ARM] Add flush_cache_user_page() for sys_cacheflush()")

This patch removes the alignment code, reducing the amount of flushing
required for ranges that are not an exact multiple of PAGE_SIZE.

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: cacheflush: add new iovec-based cache flushing system call

The cacheflush system call flushes a contiguous range, specified by a
pair of addresses. This means that user applications wishing to flush
discrete ranges must issue multiple system calls, since attempting to
flush past a vma results in range truncation.

This patch introduces a new private system call for ARM, cacheflush_iov,
which processes a range of addresses described in an iovec structure.

ARM: Add optimised swahb32() byteswap helper for v6 and above

ARMv6 and later processors have the REV16 instruction, which swaps
the bytes within each halfword of a register value.

This is already used to implement swab16(), but since the native
operation performaed by REV16 is actually swahb32(), this patch
renames the existing swab16() helper accordingly and defines
__arch_swab16() in terms of it.  This allows calls to both swab16()
and swahb32() to be optimised.

The compiler's generated code might improve someday, but as of
4.5.2 the code generated for pure C implementing these 16-bit
bytesswaps remains pessimal.

swahb32() is useful for converting 32-bit Thumb instructions
between integer and memory representation on BE8 platforms (among
other uses).

sched: don't call task_group() many times in set_task_rq()

It improves perfomance, especially if autogroup enabled.

The size of set_task_rq() was 0x180 and now it is 0xa0.
