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.

tmpfs: fix mempolicy object leaks

This patch fixes several mempolicy leaks in the tmpfs mount logic.
These leaks are slow - on the order of one object leaked per mount
attempt.

Leak 1 (umount doesn't free mpol allocated in mount):
    while true; do
        mount -t tmpfs -o mpol=interleave,size=100M nodev /mnt
        umount /mnt
    done

Leak 2 (errors parsing remount options will leak mpol):
    mount -t tmpfs -o size=100M nodev /mnt
    while true; do
        mount -o remount,mpol=interleave,size=x /mnt 2> /dev/null
    done
    umount /mnt

Leak 3 (multiple mpol per mount leak mpol):
    while true; do
        mount -t tmpfs -o mpol=interleave,mpol=interleave,size=100M nodev /mnt
        umount /mnt
    done

This patch fixes all of the above.  I could have broken the patch into
three pieces but is seemed easier to review as one.

Tune deadline for flash devices
make default readahead size a kernel parameter
From: Nikanth Karthikesan <knikanth@suse.de>

Add new kernel parameter "readahead", which would be used instead of the
value of VM_MAX_READAHEAD. If the parameter is not specified, the default
of 128kb would be used.

block: limit default readahead size for small devices

Linus reports a _really_ small & slow (505kB, 15kB/s) USB device,
on which blkid runs unpleasantly slow. He manages to optimize the blkid
reads down to 1kB+16kB, but still kernel read-ahead turns it into 48kB.

     lseek 0,    read 1024   => readahead 4 pages (start of file)
     lseek 1536, read 16384  => readahead 8 pages (page contiguous)

The readahead heuristics involved here are reasonable ones in general.
So it's good to fix blkid with fadvise(RANDOM), as Linus already did.

For the kernel part, Linus suggests:
  So maybe we could be less aggressive about read-ahead when the size of
  the device is small? Turning a 16kB read into a 64kB one is a big deal,
  when it's about 15% of the whole device!

This looks reasonable: smaller device tend to be slower (USB sticks as
well as micro/mobile/old hard disks).

Given that the non-rotational attribute is not always reported, we can
take disk size as a max readahead size hint. This patch uses a formula
that generates the following concrete limits:

        disk size    readahead size
     (scale by 4)      (scale by 2)
               1M                8k
               4M               16k
              16M               32k
              64M               64k
             256M              128k
        --------------------------- (*)
               1G              256k
               4G              512k
              16G             1024k
              64G             2048k
             256G             4096k
(*) Since the default readahead size is 128k, this limit only takes
effect for devices whose size is less than 256M.

The formula is determined on the following data, collected by script:

	#!/bin/sh

	# please make sure BDEV is not mounted or opened by others
	BDEV=sdb

	for rasize in 4 16 32 64 128 256 512 1024 2048 4096 8192
	do
		echo $rasize > /sys/block/$BDEV/queue/read_ahead_kb
		time dd if=/dev/$BDEV of=/dev/null bs=4k count=102400
	done
The principle is, the formula shall not limit readahead size to such a
degree that will impact some device's sequential read performance.

The Intel SSD is special in that its throughput increases steadily with
larger readahead size. However it may take years for Linux to increase
its default readahead size to 2MB, so we don't take it seriously in the
formula.

lib/memcopy: use glibc version

the kernel's memcpy and memmove is very inefficient. But the glibc version is
quite fast, in some cases it is 10 times faster than the kernel version. So I
introduce some memory copy macros and functions of the glibc to improve the
kernel version's performance.

The strategy of the memory functions is:
1. Copy bytes until the destination pointer is aligned.
2. Copy words in unrolled loops.  If the source and destination are not
   aligned in the same way, use word memory operations, but shift and merge
   two read words before writing.
3. Copy the few remaining bytes.
