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).

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. 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.

block/partitions: optimize memory allocation in check_partition()

Currently, sizeof(struct parsed_partitions) may be 64KB in 32bit arch, so
it is easy to trigger page allocation failure by check_partition,
especially in hotplug block device situation(such as, USB mass storage,
MMC card, ...), and Felipe Balbi has observed the failure.

This patch does below optimizations on the allocation of struct
parsed_partitions to try to address the issue:

- make parsed_partitions.parts as pointer so that the pointed memory can
  fit in 32KB buffer, then approximate 32KB memory can be saved

- vmalloc the buffer pointed by parsed_partitions.parts because 32KB is
  still a bit big for kmalloc

- given that many devices have the partition count limit, so only
  allocate disk_max_parts() partitions instead of 256 partitions always

rtc: alarm: Add power-on alarm feature

Android does not support powering up of phone through alarm.
Adding shutdown hook in alarm driver which will set alarm while phone
is going down so as to power-up the phone after alarm expiration.

rtc: alarm: Set power-on alarm 120 sec before actual alarm time

This will add extra buffer time for booting-up the device before
actual alarm expiration time.

kernel: alarm: :fix the BUG that device automatically powers on

The value of alarm.time is invalid if we get it by:
    memset(&alarm, 0, sizeof(alarm)).
So function of rtc_set_alarm aborts before it really calls into:
    rtc->ops->set_alarm.
Then we can`t disable the RTC alarm by that. The result is some
alarms enabled by alarm_suspend are not disabled correctly during
alarm_resume. And device will automatically power on.

kernel: alarm: add dedicated alarm type for poweroff alarm

Now we use type of RTC_WAKEUP for the poweroff alarm.
Actually lots of other applications also use this type.
But these applications never expect the device will
power on after it has been shut down. So we need to
add dedicated alarm type for the Deskclock or similar
applications.

cpufreq: Save user policy min/max instead of policy min/max during hotplug

When a CPU is hotplugged off, various fields of the policy are saved so
that they can be restored when the CPU is hotplugged back in.

The existing code saves the policy min/max field during hotplug remove and
restores it into user policy min/max during hotplug add. This results in
the loss of the user policy min/max values across a hotplug remove/add.

Fix it by saving the user policy min/max instead of policy min/max during
hotplug remove. During a hotplug add, after user policy min/max is
restored, the policy min/max is already recomputed. So, there's no risk of
going beyound any limits imposed by the CPUFREQ_ADJUST/INCOMPATIBLE
notifiers.

cpufreq: ondemand: Remove unnecessary synchronization attempt

Commit 1ce28d6b (ondemand: updated tune for hardware coordination)
brings in an attempt to synchronize expiry of per-cpu ondemand timer
at same time across all online cpus. This is meant to help systems
where "multiple cores share P-state via Hardware Coordination".

Synchronization is achieved by having timers expire when jiffy value
would be a perfect multiple of sampling window size. While such
synchronozation attemps are unnecessary on systems where cores don't
share P-states, it can hurt on power as cpus can now work off shorter
sampling windows (when percentage utilization over short window can be
observed to be high, causing frequency to be boosted).

Remove this unnecessary attempt to synchronize expiry of ondemand
timer across online cpus. A more acceptable solution could be to have
low-level architecture specific cpufreq driver indicate the need for
synchronization.
