ARM: mutex: use generic atomic_dec-based implementation for ARMv6+

Commit a76d7bd96d65 ("ARM: 7467/1: mutex: use generic xchg-based
implementation for ARMv6+") removed the barrier-less, ARM-specific
mutex implementation in favour of the generic xchg-based code.

Since then, a bug was uncovered in the xchg code when running on SMP
platforms, due to interactions between the locking paths and the
MUTEX_SPIN_ON_OWNER code. This was fixed in 0bce9c46bf3b ("mutex: place
lock in contended state after fastpath_lock failure"), however, the
atomic_dec-based mutex algorithm is now marginally more efficient for
ARM (~0.5% improvement in hackbench scores on dual A15).

This patch moves ARMv6+ platforms to the atomic_dec-based mutex code.

sched: Optimize build_sched_domains() for saving first SD node for a cpu

Date	Tue, 4 Jun 2013 16:50:18 +0530

We are saving first scheduling domain for a cpu in build_sched_domains() by
iterating over the nested sd->child list. We don't actually need to do it this
way.

*per_cpu_ptr(d.sd, i) is guaranteed to be NULL in the beginning as we have
called __visit_domain_allocation_hell() which does a memset to zero for struct
s_data.

So, save pointer to first SD while running the iteration loop over tl's.

tl will be equal to sched_domain_topology for the first iteration and so we can

sched: scale cpu load for judgment of group imbalance

Date	Mon, 17 Jun 2013 21:00:24 +0800

We cannot compare two load directly from two cpus, since the cpu power
over two cpu may vary largely.

Suppose we meet such two kind of cpus.
CPU A:
	No real time work, and there are 3 task, with rq->load.weight
being 512.
CPU B:
	Has real time work, and it take 3/4 of the cpu power, which
makes CFS only take 1/4, that is 1024/4=256 cpu power. And over its CFS
runqueue, there is only one task with weight as 128.

Since both cpu's CFS task take for half of the CFS's cpu power, it
should be considered as balanced in such case.

But original judgment like:
        if ((max_cpu_load - min_cpu_load) >= avg_load_per_task &&
            (max_nr_running - min_nr_running) > 1)
It makes (512-128)>=((512+128)/4), and lead to imbalance conclusion...
Make the load as scaled, to avoid such case.

sched: Reduce overestimating rq->avg_idle

Date	Thu, 29 Aug 2013 13:05:34 -0700

When updating avg_idle, if the delta exceeds some max value, then avg_idle
gets set to the max, regardless of what the previous avg was. This can cause
avg_idle to often be overestimated.

This patch modifies the way we update avg_idle by always updating it with the
function call to update_avg() first. Then, if avg_idle exceeds the max, we set
it to the max.

sched: Consider max cost of idle balance per sched domain

Date    Thu, 29 Aug 2013 13:05:35 -0700

In this patch, we keep track of the max cost we spend doing idle load balancing
for each sched domain. If the avg time the CPU remains idle is less then the
time we have already spent on idle balancing + the max cost of idle balancing
in the sched domain, then we don't continue to attempt the balance. We also
keep a per rq variable, max_idle_balance_cost, which keeps track of the max
time spent on newidle load balances throughout all its domains. Additionally,
we swap sched_migration_cost used in idle_balance for rq->max_idle_balance_cost.

By using the max, we avoid overrunning the average. This further reduces the chance
we attempt balancing when the CPU is not idle for longer than the cost to balance.

I also limited the max cost of each domain to 5*sysctl_sched_migration_cost as
a way to prevent the max from becoming too inflated.

sched: Periodically decay max cost of idle balance

This RFC patch builds on patch 2 and periodically decays that max value to
do idle balancing per sched domain.

Though we want to decay it fairly consistently, we may not want to lower it by
too much each time, especially since avg_idle is capped based on that value.
So I thought that decaying the value every second and lowering it by half a
percent each time appeared to be fairly reasonable.

This change would allow us to remove the limit we set on each domain's max cost
to idle balance. Also, since the max can be reduced now, we now have to
update rq->max_idle balance_cost more frequently. So after every idle balance,
we loop through the sched domain to find the max sd's newidle load balance cost
for any one domain. Then we will set rq->max_idle_balance_cost to that value.

Since we are now decaying the max cost to do idle balancing, that max cost can
also become not high enough. One possible explanation for why is that
besides the time spent on each newidle load balance, there are other costs
associated with attempting idle balancing. Idle balance also releases and
reacquires a spin lock. That cost is not counted when we keep track of each
domain's cost to do newidle load balance. Also, acquiring the rq locks can
potentially prevent other CPUs from running something useful. And after
migrating tasks, it might potentially have to pay the costs of cache misses and
refreshing tasks' cache.

Because of that, this patch also compares avg_idle with max cost to do idle
balancing + sched_migration_cost. While using the max cost helps reduce
overestimating the average idle, the sched_migration_cost can help account
for those additional costs of idle balancing.
