sched: Fix select_idle_sibling() bouncing cow syndrome

If the previous CPU is cache affine and idle, select it.

The current implementation simply traverses the sd_llc domain,
taking the first idle CPU encountered, which walks buddy pairs
hand in hand over the package, inflicting excruciating pain.

1 tbench pair (worst case) in a 10 core + SMT package:

mm: slub: Default slub_max_order to 0

To avoid locking and per-cpu overhead, SLUB optimisically uses
high-order allocations up to order-3 by default and falls back to
lower allocations if they fail. While care is taken that the caller
and kswapd take no unusual steps in response to this, there are
further consequences like shrinkers who have to free more objects to
release any memory. There is anecdotal evidence that significant time
is being spent looping in shrinkers with insufficient progress being
made (https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/28/361) and keeping kswapd awake.

SLUB is now the default allocator and some bug reports have been
pinned down to SLUB using high orders during operations like
copying large amounts of data. SLUBs use of high-orders benefits
applications that are sized to memory appropriately but this does not
necessarily apply to large file servers or desktops.  This patch
causes SLUB to use order-0 pages like SLAB does by default.
There is further evidence that this keeps kswapd's usage lower
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/5/10/383).

mm: vmscan: If kswapd has been running too long, allow it to sleep

Under constant allocation pressure, kswapd can be in the situation where
sleeping_prematurely() will always return true even if kswapd has been
running a long time. Check if kswapd needs to be scheduled.

lowmemorykiller: Account for highmem during kswapd reclaim

Currenlty most memory reclaim is done through kswapd.
Since kswapd uses a gfp mask of GFP_KERNEL, and because
the lowmemorykiller is zone aware, the lowmemorykiller will
ignore highmem most of the time.
This results in the lowmemorykiller being overly aggressive.

The fix to this issue is to allow the lowmemorykiller to
count highmem when being called by the kswapd if the lowmem
watermarks are satisfied.

workqueue: don't use WQ_HIGHPRI for unbound workqueues

Unbound wqs aren't concurrency-managed and try to execute work items
as soon as possible.  This is currently achieved by implicitly setting
%WQ_HIGHPRI on all unbound workqueues; however, WQ_HIGHPRI
implementation is about to be restructured and this usage won't be
valid anymore.

Add an explicit chain-wakeup path for unbound workqueues in
process_one_work() instead of piggy backing on %WQ_HIGHPRI.

workqueue: factor out worker_pool from global_cwq

Move worklist and all worker management fields from global_cwq into
the new struct worker_pool.  worker_pool points back to the containing
gcwq.  worker and cpu_workqueue_struct are updated to point to
worker_pool instead of gcwq too.

This change is mechanical and doesn't introduce any functional
difference other than rearranging of fields and an added level of
indirection in some places.  This is to prepare for multiple pools per
gcwq.

workqueue: introduce NR_WORKER_POOLS and for_each_worker_pool()

Introduce NR_WORKER_POOLS and for_each_worker_pool() and convert code
paths which need to manipulate all pools in a gcwq to use them.
NR_WORKER_POOLS is currently one and for_each_worker_pool() iterates
over only @gcwq->pool.

Note that nr_running is per-pool property and converted to an array
with NR_WORKER_POOLS elements and renamed to pool_nr_running.  Note
that get_pool_nr_running() currently assumes 0 index.  The next patch
will make use of non-zero index.

The changes in this patch are mechanical and don't caues any
functional difference.  This is to prepare for multiple pools per

v2: nr_running indexing bug in get_pool_nr_running() fixed.

v3: Pointer to array is stupid.  Don't use it in get_pool_nr_running()
    as suggested by Linus.

workqueue: reimplement WQ_HIGHPRI using a separate worker_pool

WQ_HIGHPRI was implemented by queueing highpri work items at the head
of the global worklist.  Other than queueing at the head, they weren't
handled differently; unfortunately, this could lead to execution
latency of a few seconds on heavily loaded systems.

Now that workqueue code has been updated to deal with multiple
worker_pools per global_cwq, this patch reimplements WQ_HIGHPRI using
a separate worker_pool.  NR_WORKER_POOLS is bumped to two and
gcwq->pools[0] is used for normal pri work items and ->pools[1] for
highpri.  Highpri workers get -20 nice level and has 'H' suffix in
their names.  Note that this change increases the number of kworkers
per cpu.

POOL_HIGHPRI_PENDING, pool_determine_ins_pos() and highpri chain
wakeup code in process_one_work() are no longer used and removed.

This allows proper prioritization of highpri work items and removes
high execution latency of highpri work items.

v2: nr_running indexing bug in get_pool_nr_running() fixed.

v3: Refreshed for the get_pool_nr_running() update in the previous
    patch.

staging: android: ashmem: get_name,set_name not to hold ashmem_mutex

Problem:
There exists a path in ashmem driver that could lead to acquistion
of mm->mmap_sem, ashmem_mutex in reverse order. This could lead
to deadlock in the system.
For Example, assume that mmap is called on a ashmem region
in the context of a thread say T1.
 sys_mmap_pgoff (1. acquires mm->mmap_sem)
  |
   --> mmap_region
 	|
         ----> ashmem_mmap (2. acquires asmem_mutex)
 Now if there is a context switch after 1 and before 2,
 and if another thread T2 (that shares the mm struct) invokes an
 ioctl say ASHMEM_GET_NAME, this can lead to the following path

ashmem_ioctl
  |
  -->get_name (3. acquires ashmem_mutex)
	|
	---> copy_to_user (4. acquires the mm->mmap_sem)
Note that the copy_to_user could lead to a valid fault if no
physical page is allocated yet for the user address passed.
Now T1 has mmap_sem and is waiting for ashmem_mutex.
and T2 has the ashmem_mutex and is waiting for mmap_sem
Thus leading to deadlock.

Solution:
Do not call copy_to_user or copy_from_user while holding the
ahsmem_mutex. Instead copy this to a local buffer that lives
in the stack while holding this lock. This will maintain data
integrity as well never reverse the lock order.

Testing:
Created a unit test case to reproduce the problem.
Used the same to test this fix on kernel version 3.4.0
Ported the same patch to 3.8

ashmem: avoid deadlock between read and mmap calls

Avoid holding ashmem_mutex across code that can page fault.  Page faults
grab the mmap_sem for the process, which are also held by mmap calls
prior to calling ashmem_mmap, which locks ashmem_mutex.  The reversed
order of locking between the two can deadlock.

The calls that can page fault are read() and the ASHMEM_SET_NAME and
ASHMEM_GET_NAME ioctls.  Move the code that accesses userspace pages
outside the ashmem_mutex.
