cpufreq: intelliactive: initial coding and introduction!

intelliactive is based on Latest Google Interactive cpufreq governor from
Google.  The original Interactive provides smooth UI operations but suffers
slight battery drain due to its aggressive policies.  Intelliactive is an
improvement built on top of it.

It has the following enhancements added:
1. self-boost capability from input drivers (no need for PowerHAL assist)
2. two phase scheduling (idle/busy phases to prevent from jumping directly to
   max freq
3. Checks for offline cpus and short circuits some unnecessary checks to
   improve code execution paths
4. removed trace calls

futex: Larger hash table

Date	Thu, 2 Jan 2014 07:05:18 -0800

From: Davidlohr Bueso <davidlohr@hp.com>

Currently, the futex global hash table suffers from it's fixed, smallish
(for today's standards) size of 256 entries, as well as its lack of NUMA
awareness. Large systems, using many futexes, can be prone to high amounts
of collisions; where these futexes hash to the same bucket and lead to
extra contention on the same hb->lock. Furthermore, cacheline bouncing is a
reality when we have multiple hb->locks residing on the same cacheline and
different futexes hash to adjacent buckets.
This patch keeps the current static size of 16 entries for small systems,
or otherwise, 256 * ncpus (or larger as we need to round the number to a
power of 2). Note that this number of CPUs accounts for all CPUs that can
ever be available in the system, taking into consideration things like
hotpluging. While we do impose extra overhead at bootup by making the hash
table larger, this is a one time thing, and does not shadow the benefits
of this patch.

Furthermore, as suggested by tglx, by cache aligning the hash buckets we can
avoid access across cacheline boundaries and also avoid massive cache line
bouncing if multiple cpus are hammering away at different hash buckets which
happen to reside in the same cache line.

Also, similar to other core kernel components (pid, dcache, tcp), by using
alloc_large_system_hash() we benefit from its NUMA awareness and thus the
table is distributed among the nodes instead of in a single one.

For a custom microbenchmark that pounds on the uaddr hashing -- making the wait
path fail at futex_wait_setup() returning -EWOULDBLOCK for large amounts of
futexes, we can see the following benefits on a 80-core, 8-socket 1Tb server:

+---------+--------------------+------------------------+-----------------------+-------------------------------+

futex: Avoid taking hb lock if nothing to wakeup

Date	Thu, 2 Jan 2014 07:05:20 -0800

From: Davidlohr Bueso <davidlohr@hp.com>

In futex_wake() there is clearly no point in taking the hb->lock if we know
beforehand that there are no tasks to be woken. While the hash bucket's plist
head is a cheap way of knowing this, we cannot rely 100% on it as there is a
racy window between the futex_wait call and when the task is actually added to
the plist. To this end, we couple it with the spinlock check as tasks trying to
enter the critical region are most likely potential waiters that will be added
to the plist, thus preventing tasks sleeping forever if wakers don't acknowledge
all possible waiters.

Furthermore, the futex ordering guarantees are preserved, ensuring that waiters
either observe the changed user space value before blocking or is woken by a
concurrent waker. For wakers, this is done by relying on the barriers in
get_futex_key_refs() -- for archs that do have implicit mb in atomic_inc() we
explicitly add them through a new futex_get_mm function. For waiters we rely
on the fact that spin_lock calls already update the head counter, so spinners
are visible even if the lock hasn't been acquired yet.

For more details please refer to the updated comments in the code and related
discussion: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/26/556

Special thanks to tglx for careful review and feedback.

ARM: move VFP init to an earlier boot stage

In order to use the NEON unit in the kernel, we should
initialize it a bit earlier in the boot process so NEON users
that like to do a quick benchmark at load time (like the
xor_blocks or RAID-6 code) find the NEON/VFP unit already
enabled.

Replaced late_initcall() with core_initcall().

ARM: be strict about FP exceptions in kernel mode

The support code in vfp_support_entry does not care whether the
exception that caused it to be invoked occurred in kernel mode or
in user mode. However, neither condition that could trigger this
exception (lazy restore and VFP bounce to support code) is
currently allowable in kernel mode.

In either case, print a message describing the condition before
letting the undefined instruction handler run its course and trigger
an oops.

ARM: add support for kernel mode NEON

In order to safely support the use of NEON instructions in
kernel mode, some precautions need to be taken:
- the userland context that may be present in the registers (even
  if the NEON/VFP is currently disabled) must be stored under the
  correct task (which may not be 'current' in the UP case),
- to avoid having to keep track of additional vfpstates for the
  kernel side, disallow the use of NEON in interrupt context
  and run with preemption disabled,
- after use, re-enable preemption and re-enable the lazy restore
  machinery by disabling the NEON/VFP unit.

This patch adds the functions kernel_neon_begin() and
kernel_neon_end() which take care of the above. It also adds
the Kconfig symbol KERNEL_MODE_NEON to enable it.

ARM: 7835/2: fix modular build of xor_blocks() with NEON enabled

Commit 0195659 introduced a NEON accelerated version of the xor_blocks()
function, but it needs the changes in this patch to allow it to be built
as a module rather than statically into the kernel.

This patch creates a separate module xor-neon.ko which exports the NEON
inner xor_blocks() functions depended upon by the regular xor.ko if it
is built with CONFIG_KERNEL_MODE_NEON=y

ARM: only allow kernel mode neon with AEABI

This prevents the linker erroring with:

arm-linux-ld: error: arch/arm/lib/xor-neon.o uses VFP instructions, whereas arch/arm/lib/built-in.o does not
arm-linux-ld: failed to merge target specific data of file arch/arm/lib/xor-neon.o

This is due to the non-neon files being marked as containing FPA data/
instructions (even though they do not) being mixed with files which
contain VFP, which is an incompatible floating point format.
