ARM: crypto: add NEON accelerated XOR implementation

Add a source file xor-neon.c (which is really just the reference
C implementation passed through the GCC vectorizer) and hook it
up to the XOR framework.

ARM: 7835/2: fix modular build of xor_blocks() with NEON enabled

Commit 0195659 introduced a NEON accelerated version of the xor_blocks()
function, but it needs the changes in this patch to allow it to be built
as a module rather than statically into the kernel.

This patch creates a separate module xor-neon.ko which exports the NEON
inner xor_blocks() functions depended upon by the regular xor.ko if it
is built with CONFIG_KERNEL_MODE_NEON=y

ARM: vfp: rename last_VFP_context to vfp_current_hw_state

Rename the slightly confusing 'last_VFP_context' variable to be more
descriptive of what it actually is.  This variable stores a pointer
to the current owner's vfpstate structure for the context held in the
VFP hardware.

ARM: vfp: fix a hole in VFP thread migration

Fix a hole in the VFP thread migration.  Lets define two threads.

Thread 1, we'll call 'interesting_thread' which is a thread which is
running on CPU0, using VFP (so vfp_current_hw_state[0] =
&interesting_thread->vfpstate) and gets migrated off to CPU1, where
it continues execution of VFP instructions.

Thread 2, we'll call 'new_cpu0_thread' which is the thread which takes
over on CPU0.  This has also been using VFP, and last used VFP on CPU0,
but doesn't use it again.

The following code will be executed twice:

		cpu = thread->cpu;

		/*
		 * On SMP, if VFP is enabled, save the old state in
		 * case the thread migrates to a different CPU. The
		 * restoring is done lazily.
		 */
		if ((fpexc & FPEXC_EN) && vfp_current_hw_state[cpu]) {
			vfp_save_state(vfp_current_hw_state[cpu], fpexc);
			vfp_current_hw_state[cpu]->hard.cpu = cpu;
		}
		/*
		 * Thread migration, just force the reloading of the
		 * state on the new CPU in case the VFP registers
		 * contain stale data.
		 */
		if (thread->vfpstate.hard.cpu != cpu)
			vfp_current_hw_state[cpu] = NULL;

The first execution will be on CPU0 to switch away from 'interesting_thread'.
interesting_thread->cpu will be 0.

So, vfp_current_hw_state[0] points at interesting_thread->vfpstate.
The hardware state will be saved, along with the CPU number (0) that
it was executing on.

'thread' will be 'new_cpu0_thread' with new_cpu0_thread->cpu = 0.
Also, because it was executing on CPU0, new_cpu0_thread->vfpstate.hard.cpu = 0,
and so the thread migration check is not triggered.

This means that vfp_current_hw_state[0] remains pointing at interesting_thread.

The second execution will be on CPU1 to switch _to_ 'interesting_thread'.
So, 'thread' will be 'interesting_thread' and interesting_thread->cpu now
will be 1.  The previous thread executing on CPU1 is not relevant to this
so we shall ignore that.

We get to the thread migration check.  Here, we discover that
interesting_thread->vfpstate.hard.cpu = 0, yet interesting_thread->cpu is
now 1, indicating thread migration.  We set vfp_current_hw_state[1] to
NULL.

So, at this point vfp_current_hw_state[] contains the following:

[0] = &interesting_thread->vfpstate
[1] = NULL

Our interesting thread now executes a VFP instruction, takes a fault
which loads the state into the VFP hardware.  Now, through the assembly
we now have:

[0] = &interesting_thread->vfpstate
[1] = &interesting_thread->vfpstate

CPU1 stops due to ptrace (and so saves its VFP state) using the thread
switch code above), and CPU0 calls vfp_sync_hwstate().

	if (vfp_current_hw_state[cpu] == &thread->vfpstate) {
		vfp_save_state(&thread->vfpstate, fpexc | FPEXC_EN);

BANG, we corrupt interesting_thread's VFP state by overwriting the
more up-to-date state saved by CPU1 with the old VFP state from CPU0.

Fix this by ensuring that we have sane semantics for the various state
describing variables:

1. vfp_current_hw_state[] points to the current owner of the context
   information stored in each CPUs hardware, or NULL if that state
   information is invalid.
2. thread->vfpstate.hard.cpu always contains the most recent CPU number
   which the state was loaded into or NR_CPUS if no CPU owns the state.

So, for a particular CPU to be a valid owner of the VFP state for a
particular thread t, two things must be true:

 vfp_current_hw_state[cpu] == &t->vfpstate && t->vfpstate.hard.cpu == cpu.

and that is valid from the moment a CPU loads the saved VFP context
into the hardware.  This gives clear and consistent semantics to
interpreting these variables.

This patch also fixes thread copying, ensuring that t->vfpstate.hard.cpu
is invalidated, otherwise CPU0 may believe it was the last owner.  The
hole can happen thus:

- thread1 runs on CPU2 using VFP, migrates to CPU3, exits and thread_info
  freed.
- New thread allocated from a previously running thread on CPU2, reusing
  memory for thread1 and copying vfp.hard.cpu.

At this point, the following are true:

	new_thread1->vfpstate.hard.cpu == 2
	&new_thread1->vfpstate == vfp_current_hw_state[2]

Lastly, this also addresses thread flushing in a similar way to thread
copying.  Hole is:

- thread runs on CPU0, using VFP, migrates to CPU1 but does not use VFP.
- thread calls execve(), so thread flush happens, leaving
  vfp_current_hw_state[0] intact.  This vfpstate is memset to 0 causing
  thread->vfpstate.hard.cpu = 0.
- thread migrates back to CPU0 before using VFP.

At this point, the following are true:

	thread->vfpstate.hard.cpu == 0
	&thread->vfpstate == vfp_current_hw_state[0]

ARM: vfp: ensure that thread flushing works if preempted

Prevent a preemption event causing the initialized VFP state being

arm: remove several unnecessary module.h include instances

Building these files does not reveal a hidden need for
any of these.  Since module.h brings in the whole kitchen
sink, it just needlessly adds 30k+ lines to the cpp burden.

There are probably lots more, but ARM files of mach-* and plat-*
don't get coverage via a simple yesconfig build.  They will have
to be cleaned up and tested via using their respective configs.

ARM: move VFP init to an earlier boot stage

In order to use the NEON unit in the kernel, we should
initialize it a bit earlier in the boot process so NEON users
that like to do a quick benchmark at load time (like the
xor_blocks or RAID-6 code) find the NEON/VFP unit already
enabled.

Replaced late_initcall() with core_initcall().

ARM: be strict about FP exceptions in kernel mode

The support code in vfp_support_entry does not care whether the
exception that caused it to be invoked occurred in kernel mode or
in user mode. However, neither condition that could trigger this
exception (lazy restore and VFP bounce to support code) is
currently allowable in kernel mode.

In either case, print a message describing the condition before
letting the undefined instruction handler run its course and trigger
an oops.

ARM: add support for kernel mode NEON

In order to safely support the use of NEON instructions in
kernel mode, some precautions need to be taken:
- the userland context that may be present in the registers (even
  if the NEON/VFP is currently disabled) must be stored under the
  correct task (which may not be 'current' in the UP case),
- to avoid having to keep track of additional vfpstates for the
  kernel side, disallow the use of NEON in interrupt context
  and run with preemption disabled,
- after use, re-enable preemption and re-enable the lazy restore
  machinery by disabling the NEON/VFP unit.

This patch adds the functions kernel_neon_begin() and
kernel_neon_end() which take care of the above. It also adds
the Kconfig symbol KERNEL_MODE_NEON to enable it.

softirq: reduce latencies

Date	Thu, 03 Jan 2013 23:49:40 -0800

In various network workloads, __do_softirq() latencies can be up
to 20 ms if HZ=1000, and 200 ms if HZ=100.

This is because we iterate 10 times in the softirq dispatcher,
and some actions can consume a lot of cycles.

This patch changes the fallback to ksoftirqd condition to :

- A time limit of 2 ms.
- need_resched() being set on current task

When one of this condition is met, we wakeup ksoftirqd for further
softirq processing if we still have pending softirqs.

Using need_resched() as the only condition can trigger RCU stalls,
as we can keep BH disabled for too long.

I ran several benchmarks and got no significant difference in
throughput, but a very significant reduction of latencies (one order
of magnitude) :

In following bench, 200 antagonist "netperf -t TCP_RR" are started in
background, using all available cpus.

Then we start one "netperf -t TCP_RR", bound to the cpu handling the NIC
IRQ (hard+soft)

writeback: fix occasional slow sync(1)

In case when system contains no dirty pages, wakeup_flusher_threads() will
submit WB_SYNC_NONE writeback for 0 pages so wb_writeback() exits
immediately without doing anything, even though there are dirty inodes in
the system.  Thus sync(1) will write all the dirty inodes from a
WB_SYNC_ALL writeback pass which is slow.

Fix the problem by using get_nr_dirty_pages() in wakeup_flusher_threads()
instead of calculating number of dirty pages manually.  That function also
takes number of dirty inodes into account.
