sched: provide per cpu-cgroup option to notify on migrations

On systems where CPUs may run asynchronously, task migrations
between CPUs running at grossly different speeds can cause
problems.

This change provides a mechanism to notify a subsystem
in the kernel if a task in a particular cgroup migrates to a
different CPU. Other subsystems (such as cpufreq) may then
register for this notifier to take appropriate action when
such a task is migrated.

The cgroup attribute to set for this behavior is
"notify_on_migrate" .

sched: remove migration notification from RT class

Commit 88a7e37d265 (sched: provide per cpu-cgroup option to
notify on migrations) added a notifier call when a task is moved
to a different CPU. Unfortunately the two call sites in the RT
sched class where this occurs happens with a runqueue lock held.
This can result in a deadlock if the notifier call attempts to do
something like wake up a task.

Fortunately the benefit of 88a7e37d265 comes mainly from notifying
on migration of non-RT tasks, so we can simply ignore the movements
of RT tasks.

cpufreq: Add cpu-boost driver

When certain bursty and important events take place, it might take a while
for the current cpufreq governor to notice the new load and react to it.
That would result in poor user experience. To alleviate this, the cpu-boost
driver boosts the frequency of a CPU for a short duration to maintain good
user experience while the governor catches up.

Specifically, this commit deals with ensuring that when "important" tasks
migrate from a fast CPU to a slow CPU, the frequency of the slow CPU is
boosted to be at least as high as the fast CPU for a short duration.

Since this driver enforces the boost by hooking into standard cpufreq
ADJUST notifiers, it has several advantages:
- More portable across kernel versions where the cpufreq internals might
  have been rewritten.
- Governor agnostic and hence works with multiple governors like
  conservative, ondemand, interactive, etc.
- Does not affect the sampling period/logic of existing governors.
- Can have the boost period adjusted independent of governor sampling
  period.

(cherry picked from commit c26e25944543c61b34b1830938bb6f353a2580ac)
cpufreq: interactive: Reset floor_validate_time if busy at max for 100ms

When the interactive governor selects to run at max frequency it doesn't
re-schedule the timer until it hits an idle. This change checks if the CPU
has been continuously busy for last 100ms on hitting an idle start. If yes,
then floor_validate_time is reset so that the CPU stays at max frequency
for at least another 100 ms before stepping down.
This is an important feature for detecting CPU intensive workloads which
require high frequencies for achieving better performance.

Revert "ashmem: avoid deadlock between read and mmap calls"

This reverts commit cd9c067039e5f1acf8cb2442e96ecac9ddd25c66.
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.
