sched: Make scheduler aware of cpu frequency state

Capacity of a cpu (how much performance it can deliver) is partly
determined by its frequency (P) state, both current frequency as well
as max frequency it can reach.  Knowing frequency state of cpus will
help scheduler optimize various functions such as tracking every
task's cpu demand and placing tasks on various cpus.

This patch has scheduler registering for cpufreq notifications to
become aware of cpu's frequency state. Subsequent patches will make
use of derived information for various purposes, such as task's scaled
load (cpu demand) accounting and task placement.

sched: window-based load stats for tasks

Provide a metric per task that specifies how cpu bound a task is. Task
execution is monitored over several time windows and the fraction of
the window for which task was found to be executing or wanting to run
is recorded as task's demand. Windows over which task was sleeping are
ignored. We track last 5 recent windows for every task and the maximum
demand seen in any of the previous 5 windows (where task had some
activity) drives freq demand for every task.

A per-cpu metric (rq->cumulative_runnable_avg) is also provided which
is an aggregation of cpu demand of all tasks currently enqueued on it.
rq->cumulative_runnable_avg will be useful to know if cpu frequency
will need to be changed to match task demand.

cpufreq: cpu-boost: Introduce scheduler assisted load based syncs

Previously, on getting a migration notification cpu-boost changed
the scaling min of the destination frequency to match that of the
source frequency or sync_threshold whichever was minimum.

If the scheduler migration notification is extended with task load
(cpu demand) information, the cpu boost driver can use this load to
compute a suitable frequency for the migrating task. The required
frequency for the task is calculated by taking the load percentage
of the max frequency and no sync is performed if the load is less
than a particular value (migration_load_threshold).This change is
beneficial for both perf and power as demand of a task is taken into
consideration while making cpufreq decisions and unnecessary syncs
for lightweight tasks are avoided.

The task load information provided by scheduler comes from a
window-based load collection mechanism which also normalizes the
load collected by the scheduler to the max possible frequency
across all CPUs.

sched: Call the notify_on_migrate notifier chain for wakeups as well

Add a change to send notify_on_migrate hints on wakeups of
foreground tasks from scheduler if their load is above
wakeup_load_thresholds (default value is 60).
These hints can be used to choose an appropriate CPU frequency
corresponding to the load of the task being woken up.

sched: Window-based load stat improvements

Some tasks can have a sporadic load pattern such that they can suddenly
start running for longer intervals of time after running for shorter
durations. To recognize such sharp increase in tasks' demands, max
between the average of 5 window load samples and the most recent sample
is chosen as the task demand.

Make the window size (sched_ravg_window) configurable at boot up
time. To prevent users from setting inappropriate values for window
size, min and max limits are defined. As 'ravg' struct tracks load for
both real-time and non real-time tasks it is moved out of sched_entity
struct.

In order to prevent changing function signatures for move_tasks() and
move_one_task() per-cpu variables are defined to track the total load
moved. In case multiple tasks are selected to migrate in one load
balance operation, loads > 100 could be sent through migration notifiers.
Prevent this scenario by setting mnd.load to 100 in such cases.

Define wrapper functions to compute cpu demands for tasks and to change
rq->cumulative_runnable_avg.

sched: Disable wakeup hints for foreground tasks by default

By default sched_wakeup_load_threshold is set to 60 and therefore
wakeup hints are sent out for those tasks whose loads are higher
that value. This might cause unnecessary wakeup boosts to happen
when load based syncing is turned ON for cpu-boost.
Disable the wake up hints by setting the sched_wakeup_load_threshold
to a value higher than 100 so that wakeup boost doesnt happen unless
it is explicitly turned ON from adb shell.

sched: Add min_max_freq and rq->max_possible_freq

rq->max_possible_freq represents the maximum frequency a cpu is
capable of attaining, while rq->max_freq represents the maximum
frequency a cpu can attain at a given instant. rq->max_freq includes
constraints imposed by user or thermal driver.
rq->max_freq <= rq->max_possible_freq.

max_possible_freq is derived as max(rq->max_possible_freq) and
represents the "best" cpu that can attain best possible frequency.

min_max_freq is derived as min(rq->max_possible_freq). For homogeneous
systems, max_possible_freq and min_max_freq will be same, while they
could be different on heterogeneous systems.

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()

sched: Fix reference to stale task_struct in try_to_wake_up()

try_to_wake_up() currently drops p->pi_lock and later checks for need
to notify cpufreq governor on task migrations or wakeups. However the
woken task could exit between the time p->pi_lock is released and the
time the test for notification is run. As a result, the test for
notification could refer to an exited task. task_notify_on_migrate(p)
could thus lead to invalid memory reference.

Fix this by running the test for notification with task's pi_lock
held.

sched: Remove get_online_cpus() usage

Remove get_online_cpus() usage from the scheduler; there's 4 sites that
use it:

 - sched_init_smp(); where its completely superfluous since we're in
   'early' boot and there simply cannot be any hotplugging.

 - sched_getaffinity(); we already take a raw spinlock to protect the
   task cpus_allowed mask, this disables preemption and therefore
   also stabilizes cpu_online_mask as that's modified using
   stop_machine. However switch to active mask for symmetry with
   sched_setaffinity()/set_cpus_allowed_ptr(). We guarantee active
   mask stability by inserting sync_rcu/sched() into _cpu_down.

 - sched_setaffinity(); we don't appear to need get_online_cpus()
   either, there's two sites where hotplug appears relevant:
    * cpuset_cpus_allowed(); for the !cpuset case we use possible_mask,
      for the cpuset case we hold task_lock, which is a spinlock and
      thus for mainline disables preemption (might cause pain on RT).
    * set_cpus_allowed_ptr(); Holds all scheduler locks and thus has
      preemption properly disabled; also it already deals with hotplug
      races explicitly where it releases them.

 - migrate_swap(); we can make stop_two_cpus() do the heavy lifting for
   us with a little trickery. By adding a sync_sched/rcu() after the
   CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifier we can provide preempt/rcu guarantees for
   cpu_active_mask. Use these to validate that both our cpus are active
   when queueing the stop work before we queue the stop_machine works
   for take_cpu_down().

cpufreq: cpu-boost: Consider only task load to decide on sync frequency

Currently we take the maximum between the source CPU frequency and
the calculated frequency based on the migrating task load to decide on
the frequency to sync the destination CPU to. This was done to handle
short bursts in workloads of tasks which migrated immediately after
causing a ramp up on the source CPU. Since their load history wasn't
high enough, the destination CPU synced to a lower frequency which
wasn't sufficient for the spike in workload.

But as such cases are rare, taking the higher of source and calculated
frequency can lead to destination CPU unnecessarily spending a
considerable amount of time at higher frequencies which in turn can
hurt power.

With this change we make sure only the migrating task load is used
to calculate the sync frequency for destination CPU when load based
syncing is enabled.
