Staging: android: binder: Don't call dump_stack in binder_vma_open

If user-space partially unmaps the driver, binder_vma_open
would dump the kernel stack. This is not a kernel bug however
and will be treated as if the whole area was unmapped once
binder_vma_close gets called.

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).

ARM: spinlock: use ticket algorithm for ARMv6+ locking implementation

Ticket spinlocks ensure locking fairness by reducing the thundering herd
effect when acquiring a lock. This is especially important on systems
where memory-access times are not necessarily uniform when accessing
the lock structure (for example, on a multi-cluster platform where the
lock is allocated into L1 when a CPU releases it).

This patch implements the ticket spinlock algorithm for ARM, replacing
the simpler implementation for ARMv6+ processors.

ARM: rwlocks: remove unused branch labels from trylock routines

The ARM arch_{read,write}_trylock implementations include unused
backwards branch labels, since we don't retry the locking operation
if the exclusive store fails.

This patch removes the labels.

sched/nohz: Fix rq->cpu_load[] calculations

While investigating why the load-balancer did funny I found that the
rq->cpu_load[] tables were completely screwy.. a bit more digging
revealed that the updates that got through were missing ticks followed
by a catchup of 2 ticks.

The catchup assumes the cpu was idle during that time (since only nohz
can cause missed ticks and the machine is idle etc..) this means that
esp. the higher indices were significantly lower than they ought to
be.

The reason for this is that its not correct to compare against jiffies
on every jiffy on any other cpu than the cpu that updates jiffies.

This patch cludges around it by only doing the catch-up stuff from
nohz_idle_balance() and doing the regular stuff unconditionally from
the tick.

sched/fair: Improve the ->group_imb logic

Group imbalance is meant to deal with situations where affinity masks
and sched domains don't align well, such as 3 cpus from one group and
6 from another. In this case the domain based balancer will want to
put an equal amount of tasks on each side even though they don't have
equal cpus.

Currently group_imb is set whenever two cpus of a group have a weight
difference of at least one avg task and the heaviest cpu has at least
two tasks. A group with imbalance set will always be picked as busiest
and a balance pass will be forced.
The problem is that even if there are no affinity masks this stuff can
trigger and cause weird balancing decisions, eg. the observed
behaviour was that of 6 cpus, 5 had 2 and 1 had 3 tasks, due to the
difference of 1 avg load (they all had the same weight) and nr_running
being >1 the group_imbalance logic triggered and did the weird thing
of pulling more load instead of trying to move the 1 excess task to
the other domain of 6 cpus that had 5 cpu with 2 tasks and 1 cpu with
1 task.
Curb the group_imbalance stuff by making the nr_running condition
weaker by also tracking the min_nr_running and using the difference in
nr_running over the set instead of the absolute max nr_running.

mm, oom: fix potential killing of thread that is disabled from oom killing

/proc/sys/vm/oom_kill_allocating_task will immediately kill current when
the oom killer is called to avoid a potentially expensive tasklist scan
for large systems.

Currently, however, it is not checking current's oom_score_adj value
which may be OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN, meaning that it has been disabled from
oom killing.

This patch avoids killing current in such a condition and simply falls
back to the tasklist scan since memory still needs to be freed.

If anything, I think something like the below ought to cure things.
