ksm: Provide support to use deferred timers for scanner thread

KSM thread to scan pages is getting schedule on definite timeout.
That wakes up CPU from idle state and hence may affect the power
consumption. Provide an optional support to use deferred timer
which suites low-power use-cases.

To enable deferred timers,
$ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/deferred_timer

mm: remove swap token code

The swap token code no longer fits in with the current VM model.  It
does not play well with cgroups or the better NUMA placement code in
development, since we have only one swap token globally.

It also has the potential to mess with scalability of the system, by
increasing the number of non-reclaimable pages on the active and
inactive anon LRU lists.

Last but not least, the swap token code has been broken for a year
without complaints, as reported by Konstantin Khlebnikov.  This suggests
we no longer have much use for it.

The days of sub-1G memory systems with heavy use of swap are over.  If
we ever need thrashing reducing code in the future, we will have to
implement something that does scale.

tcp: cubic: fix overflow error in bictcp_update()

commit 17a6e9f1aa9 ("tcp_cubic: fix clock dependency") added an
overflow error in bictcp_update() in following code :

/* change the unit from HZ to bictcp_HZ */
t = ((tcp_time_stamp + msecs_to_jiffies(ca->delay_min>>3) -
      ca->epoch_start) << BICTCP_HZ) / HZ;

Because msecs_to_jiffies() being unsigned long, compiler does
implicit type promotion.

We really want to constrain (tcp_time_stamp - ca->epoch_start)
to a signed 32bit value, or else 't' has unexpected high values.

This bugs triggers an increase of retransmit rates ~24 days after
boot [1], as the high order bit of tcp_time_stamp flips.

[1] for hosts with HZ=1000

Big thanks to Van Jacobson for spotting this problem.

tcp: cubic: fix bug in bictcp_acked()

While investigating about strange increase of retransmit rates
on hosts ~24 days after boot, Van found hystart was disabled
if ca->epoch_start was 0, as following condition is true
when tcp_time_stamp high order bit is set.

(s32)(tcp_time_stamp - ca->epoch_start) < HZ

Quoting Van :

 At initialization & after every loss ca->epoch_start is set to zero so
 I believe that the above line will turn off hystart as soon as the 2^31
 bit is set in tcp_time_stamp & hystart will stay off for 24 days.
 I think we've observed that cubic's restart is too aggressive without
 hystart so this might account for the higher drop rate we observe.

tcp_cubic: fix the range of delayed_ack

commit b9f47a3aaeab (tcp_cubic: limit delayed_ack ratio to prevent
divide error) try to prevent divide error, but there is still a little
chance that delayed_ack can reach zero. In case the param cnt get
negative value, then ratio+cnt would overflow and may happen to be zero.
As a result, min(ratio, ACK_RATIO_LIMIT) will calculate to be zero.

In some old kernels, such as 2.6.32, there is a bug that would
pass negative param, which then ultimately leads to this divide error.

commit 5b35e1e6e9c (tcp: fix tcp_trim_head() to adjust segment count
with skb MSS) fixed the negative param issue. However,
it's safe that we fix the range of delayed_ack as well,
to make sure we do not hit a divide by zero.

rcu: Add a module parameter to force use of expedited RCU primitives

There have been some embedded applications that would benefit from
use of expedited grace-period primitives.  In some ways, this is
similar to synchronize_net() doing either a normal or an expedited
grace period depending on lock state, but with control outside of
the kernel.

This commit therefore adds rcu_expedited boot and sysfs parameters
that cause the kernel to substitute expedited primitives for the
normal grace-period primitives.

tracing/sched: add load balancer tracepoint

When doing performance analysis it can be useful to see exactly
what is going on with the load balancer - when it runs and why
exactly it may not be redistributing load.

This additional tracepoint will show the idle context of the
load balance operation (idle, not idle, newly idle), various
values from the load balancing operation, the final result,
and the new balance interval.

sched: Fix clear NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK

I have faced a sequence where the Idle Load Balance was sometime not
triggered for a while on my platform, in the following scenario:

 CPU 0 and CPU 1 are running tasks and CPU 2 is idle

 CPU 1 kicks the Idle Load Balance
 CPU 1 selects CPU 2 as the new Idle Load Balancer
 CPU 2 sets NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK for CPU 2
 CPU 2 sends a reschedule IPI to CPU 2

 While CPU 3 wakes up, CPU 0 or CPU 1 migrates a waking up task A on CPU 2

 CPU 2 finally wakes up, runs task A and discards the Idle Load Balance
       task A quickly goes back to sleep (before a tick occurs on CPU 2)
 CPU 2 goes back to idle with NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK set

Whenever CPU 2 will be selected as the ILB, no reschedule IPI will be sent
because NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK is already set and no Idle Load Balance will be
performed.

We must wait for the sched softirq to be raised on CPU 2 thanks to another
part the kernel to come back to clear NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK.

The proposed solution clears NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK in schedule_ipi if
we can't raise the sched_softirq for the Idle Load Balance.

Change since V1:

- move the clear of NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK in got_nohz_idle_kick if the ILB
  can't run on this CPU (as suggested by Peter)

sched/rt: Use root_domain of rt_rq not current processor

When the system has multiple domains do_sched_rt_period_timer()
can run on any CPU and may iterate over all rt_rq in
cpu_online_mask.  This means when balance_runtime() is run for a
given rt_rq that rt_rq may be in a different rd than the current
processor.  Thus if we use smp_processor_id() to get rd in
do_balance_runtime() we may borrow runtime from a rt_rq that is
not part of our rd.

This changes do_balance_runtime to get the rd from the passed in
rt_rq ensuring that we borrow runtime only from the correct rd
for the given rt_rq.

This fixes a BUG at kernel/sched/rt.c:687! in __disable_runtime
when we try reclaim runtime lent to other rt_rq but runtime has
been lent to a rt_rq in another rd.

sched: fix race between try_to_wake_up() and move_task()

Until a task's state has been seen as interruptible/uninterruptible
and it is no longer on_cpu, it is possible that the task may move
to another CPU (load balancing may cause this). Here is an example
where the race condition results in incorrect operation:

- cpu 0 calls put_prev_task on task A, task A's state is TASK_RUNNING
- cpu 0 runs task B, which attempts to wake up A
- cpu 0 begins try_to_wake_up(), recording src_cpu for task A as cpu 0
- cpu 1 then pulls task A (perhaps due to idle balance)
- cpu 1 runs task A, which then sleeps, becoming INTERRUPTIBLE
- cpu 0 continues in try_to_wake_up(), thinking task A's previous
  cpu is 0, where it is actually 1
- if select_task_rq returns cpu 0, task A will be woken up on cpu 0
  without properly updating its cpu to 0 in set_task_cpu()
