mutex: Queue mutex spinners with MCS lock to reduce cacheline contention
cpuidle: remove cross-cpu IPI by new latency request.

when drivers request new latency requirement, it's not necessary to
immediately wake up another cpu by sending cross-cpu IPI, we can consider
the new latency to be taken into effect after next wakeup from idle,
this can save the unnecessary wakeup cost, and reduce the risk that
drivers may request latency in irq disabled context.

lib/kstrtox: common code between kstrto*() and simple_strto*() functions

Currently termination logic (\0 or \n\0) is hardcoded in _kstrtoull(),
avoid that for code reuse between kstrto*() and simple_strtoull().
Essentially, make them different only in termination logic.

simple_strtoull() (and scanf(), BTW) ignores integer overflow, that's a
bug we currently don't have guts to fix, making KSTRTOX_OVERFLOW hack
necessary.

Almost forgot: patch shrinks code size by about ~80 bytes on x86_64.

vsprintf: make %pV handling compatible with kasprintf()

kasprintf() (and potentially other functions that I didn't run across so
far) want to evaluate argument lists twice.  Caring to do so for the
primary list is obviously their job, but they can't reasonably be
expected to check the format string for instances of %pV, which however
need special handling too: On architectures like x86-64 (as opposed to
e.g.  ix86), using the same argument list twice doesn't produce the
expected results, as an internally managed cursor gets updated during
the first run.

Fix the problem by always acting on a copy of the original list when
handling %pV.

net: introduce skb_flow_dissect()

We use at least two flow dissectors in network stack, with known
limitations and code duplication.

Introduce skb_flow_dissect() to factorize this, highly inspired from
existing dissector from __skb_get_rxhash()

Note : We extensively use skb_header_pointer(), this permits us to not

Thanks David !

Here is a small patch to use one 64bit load/store on x86_64 instead of
two 32bit load/stores.

[PATCH net-next] flow_dissector: use a 64bit load/store

gcc compiler is smart enough to use a single load/store if we
memcpy(dptr, sptr, 8) on x86_64, regardless of
CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE

In IP header, daddr immediately follows saddr, this wont change in the
future. We only need to make sure our flow_keys (src,dst) fields wont
break the rule.

codel: Controlled Delay AQM

An implementation of CoDel AQM, from Kathleen Nichols and Van Jacobson.

http://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=2209336

This AQM main input is no longer queue size in bytes or packets, but the
delay packets stay in (FIFO) queue.

As we don't have infinite memory, we still can drop packets in enqueue()
in case of massive load, but mean of CoDel is to drop packets in
dequeue(), using a control law based on two simple parameters :

target : target sojourn time (default 5ms)
interval : width of moving time window (default 100ms)

Based on initial work from Dave Taht.

Refactored to help future codel inclusion as a plugin for other linux
qdisc (FQ_CODEL, ...), like RED.

include/net/codel.h contains codel algorithm as close as possible than
Kathleen reference.

net/sched/sch_codel.c contains the linux qdisc specific glue.

Separate structures permit a memory efficient implementation of fq_codel
(to be sent as a separate work) : Each flow has its own struct
codel_vars.

timestamps are taken at enqueue() time with 1024 ns precision, allowing
a range of 2199 seconds in queue, and 100Gb links support. iproute2 uses
usec as base unit.

Selected packets are dropped, unless ECN is enabled and packets can get
ECN mark instead.

Tested from 2Mb to 10Gb speeds with no particular problems, on ixgbe and
tg3 drivers (BQL enabled).

Usage: tc qdisc ... codel [ limit PACKETS ] [ target TIME ]
                          [ interval TIME ] [ ecn ]

qdisc codel 10: parent 1:1 limit 2000p target 3.0ms interval 60.0ms ecn
 Sent 13347099587 bytes 8815805 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
 rate 202365Kbit 16708pps backlog 113550b 75p requeues 0
  count 116 lastcount 98 ldelay 4.3ms dropping drop_next 816us
  maxpacket 1514 ecn_mark 84399 drop_overlimit 0

CoDel must be seen as a base module, and should be used keeping in mind
there is still a FIFO queue. So a typical setup will probably need a
hierarchy of several qdiscs and packet classifiers to be able to meet
whatever constraints a user might have.

One possible example would be to use fq_codel, which combines Fair
Queueing and CoDel, in replacement of sfq / sfq_red.

fq_codel: Fair Queue Codel AQM

Fair Queue Codel packet scheduler

Principles :

- Packets are classified (internal classifier or external) on flows.
- This is a Stochastic model (as we use a hash, several flows might
                              be hashed on same slot)
- Each flow has a CoDel managed queue.
- Flows are linked onto two (Round Robin) lists,
  so that new flows have priority on old ones.

- For a given flow, packets are not reordered (CoDel uses a FIFO)
- head drops only.
- ECN capability is on by default.
- Very low memory footprint (64 bytes per flow)

tc qdisc ... fq_codel [ limit PACKETS ] [ flows number ]
                      [ target TIME ] [ interval TIME ] [ noecn ]
                      [ quantum BYTES ]

defaults : 1024 flows, 10240 packets limit, quantum : device MTU
           target : 5ms (CoDel default)
           interval : 100ms (CoDel default)

codel: use Newton method instead of sqrt() and divides

As Van pointed out, interval/sqrt(count) can be implemented using
multiplies only.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_of_computing_square_roots#Iterative_methods_for_reciprocal_square_roots

This patch implements the Newton method and reciprocal divide.

Total cost is 15 cycles instead of 120 on my Corei5 machine (64bit
kernel).

There is a small 'error' for count values < 5, but we don't really care.

I reuse a hole in struct codel_vars :
 - pack the dropping boolean into one bit
 - use 31bit to store the reciprocal value of sqrt(count).

fq_codel: should use qdisc backlog as threshold

codel_should_drop() logic allows a packet being not dropped if queue
size is under max packet size.

In fq_codel, we have two possible backlogs : The qdisc global one, and
the flow local one.

The meaningful one for codel_should_drop() should be the global backlog,
not the per flow one, so that thin flows can have a non zero drop/mark
probability.

codel: refine one condition to avoid a nul rec_inv_sqrt

One condition before codel_Newton_step() was not good if
we never left the dropping state for a flow. As a result
rec_inv_sqrt was 0, instead of the ~0 initial value.

codel control law was then set to a very aggressive mode, dropping
many packets before reaching 'target' and recovering from this problem.

To keep codel_vars_init() as efficient as possible, refine
the condition to make sure rec_inv_sqrt initial value is correct

Many thanks to Anton Mich for discovering the issue and suggesting
a fix.
