gpio_keys: flip cover wake/suspend event - big code review (arter97/Yank555.lu)

gpio_keys: handle all kinds of hectic flipcover action by nervous users when powersuspend is present (Yank555.lu)

- big code review
- debugging prints added (switchable)

gpio_keys: add a semaphore so powerkey action never happen more than once at the same time (Yank555.lu)

- use shorter delay between press & release

gpio_keys: remove filesystem sync, dynamic fsync already handles this (Yank555.lu)

gpio_keys: fix typo during flip_powerkey registration
input_register_device() returns 1 on errors, not 0

gpio_keys: add flip cover wake/suspend event (arter97)

AOSP doesn't take care of flip covers.

Let make it aware from the kernel side.

gpio_keys: fix registration order

gpio-keys must be in /sys/class/input/input18,
flip_powerkey must be in /sys/class/input/input19

for device/samsung/hlte/power/power_ext.c to properly suspend GPIO_KEYS_POWER.

Re-order registration(flip_powerkey after gpio-keys).

gpio_keys: return early when flip_cover == gpio_flip_cover

This prevents ghost turn-off or turn-on
when there really wasn't a flip-cover event changed,
but flip_cover_work() is just called.

To prevent this, compare ddata->flip_cover with gpio_get_value(ddata->gpio_flip_cover)
and proceed only on when those datas are different.
fs/sync: Make sync() satisfy many requests with one invocation

Dave Jones reported RCU stalls, overly long hrtimer interrupts, and
amazingly long NMI handlers from a trinity-induced workload involving
lots of concurrent sync() calls (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/7/23/369).
There are any number of things that one might do to make sync() behave
better under high levels of contention, but it is also the case that
multiple concurrent sync() system calls can be satisfied by a single
sys_sync() invocation.

Given that this situation is reminiscent of rcu_barrier(), this commit
applies the rcu_barrier() approach to sys_sync().  This approach uses
a global mutex and a sequence counter.  The mutex is held across the
sync() operation, which eliminates contention between concurrent sync()
operations.  The counter is incremented at the beginning and end of
each sync() operation, so that it is odd while a sync() operation is in
progress and even otherwise, just like sequence locks.

The code that used to be in sys_sync() is now in do_sync(), and sys_sync()
now handles the concurrency.  The sys_sync() function first takes a
snapshot of the counter, then acquires the mutex, and then takes another
snapshot of the counter.  If the values of the two snapshots indicate that
a full do_sync() executed during the mutex acquisition, the sys_sync()
function releases the mutex and returns ("Our work is done!").  Otherwise,
sys_sync() increments the counter, invokes do_sync(), and increments
the counter again.

This approach allows a single call to do_sync() to satisfy an arbitrarily
large number of sync() system calls, which should eliminate issues due
to large numbers of concurrent invocations of the sync() system call.

Changes since v1 (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/7/24/683):

o	Add a pair of memory barriers to keep the increments from
	bleeding into the do_sync() code.  (The failure probability
	is insanely low, but when you have several hundred million
	devices running Linux, you can expect several hundred instances
	of one-in-a-million failures.)

o	Actually CC some people who have experience in this area.

Note this was rejected by Michal Hocko when it was initially proposed
by Martin Schwidefsky in LKML, so if you want to upstream it, better
find an alternative (either completely disable cpustat[CPUTIME_IDLE]

hrtimer: Consider preemption when migrating hrtimer cpu_bases

Date	Wed, 10 Apr 2013 14:07:47 -0700

When switching to a new cpu_base in switch_hrtimer_base(), we
briefly enable preemption by unlocking the cpu_base lock in two
places. During this interval it's possible for the running thread
to be swapped to a different CPU.

Consider the following example:

CPU #0                                 CPU #1
----                                   ----
hrtimer_start()                        ...
 lock_hrtimer_base()
 switch_hrtimer_base()
  this_cpu = 0;
  target_cpu_base = 0;
  raw_spin_unlock(&cpu_base->lock)
<migrate to CPU 1>
...                                    this_cpu == 0
                                       cpu == this_cpu
                                       timer->base = CPU #0
                                       timer->base != LOCAL_CPU
Since the cached this_cpu is no longer accurate, we'll skip the
hrtimer_check_target() check. Once we eventually go to program
the hardware, we'll decide not to do so since it knows the real
CPU that we're running on is not the same as the chosen base. As
a consequence, we may end up missing the hrtimer's deadline.

Fix this by updating the local CPU number each time we retake a
cpu_base lock in switch_hrtimer_base().

Another possibility is to disable preemption across the whole of
switch_hrtimer_base. This looks suboptimal since preemption
would be disabled while waiting for lock(s).

hrtimer: Prevent enqueue of hrtimer on dead CPU

Date	Wed, 10 Apr 2013 14:07:48 -0700

When switching the hrtimer cpu_base, we briefly allow for
preemption to become enabled by unlocking the cpu_base lock.
During this time, the CPU corresponding to the new cpu_base
that was selected may in fact go offline. In this scenario, the
hrtimer is enqueued to a CPU that's not online, and therefore
it never fires.

As an example, consider this example:

CPU #0                          CPU #1
----                            ----
...                             hrtimer_start()
                                 lock_hrtimer_base()
                                 switch_hrtimer_base()
                                  cpu = hrtimer_get_target() -> 1
                                  spin_unlock(&cpu_base->lock)
                                <migrate thread to CPU #0>
                                <offline>
spin_lock(&new_base->lock)
this_cpu = 0
cpu != this_cpu
enqueue_hrtimer(cpu_base #1)
To prevent this scenario, verify that the CPU corresponding to
the new cpu_base is indeed online before selecting it in
hrtimer_switch_base(). If it's not online, fallback to using the
base of the current CPU.

mutex: Make more scalable by doing less atomic operations

Date	Mon, 15 Apr 2013 10:37:57 -0400

In the __mutex_lock_common() function, an initial entry into
the lock slow path will cause two atomic_xchg instructions to be
issued. Together with the atomic decrement in the fast path, a total
of three atomic read-modify-write instructions will be issued in
rapid succession. This can cause a lot of cache bouncing when many
tasks are trying to acquire the mutex at the same time.

This patch will reduce the number of atomic_xchg instructions used by
checking the counter value first before issuing the instruction. The
atomic_read() function is just a simple memory read. The atomic_xchg()
function, on the other hand, can be up to 2 order of magnitude or even
more in cost when compared with atomic_read(). By using atomic_read()
to check the value first before calling atomic_xchg(), we can avoid a
lot of unnecessary cache coherency traffic. The only downside with this
change is that a task on the slow path will have a tiny bit
less chance of getting the mutex when competing with another task
in the fast path.

The same is true for the atomic_cmpxchg() function in the
mutex-spin-on-owner loop. So an atomic_read() is also performed before
calling atomic_cmpxchg().

The mutex locking and unlocking code for the x86 architecture can allow
any negative number to be used in the mutex count to indicate that some
tasks are waiting for the mutex. I am not so sure if that is the case
for the other architectures. So the default is to avoid atomic_xchg()
if the count has already been set to -1. For x86, the check is modified
to include all negative numbers to cover a larger case.

The following table shows the jobs per minutes (JPM) scalability data
on an 8-node 80-core Westmere box with a 3.7.10 kernel. The numactl
command is used to restrict the running of the high_systime workloads
to 1/2/4/8 nodes with hyperthreading on and off.

+-----------------+------------+-----------+----------+
At low user range 10-100, the JPM differences were within +/-1%. So
they are not that interesting.

AIM7 benchmark run has a pretty large run-to-run variance due to random
nature of the subtests executed. So a difference of less than +-5%
may not be really significant.

This patch improves high_systime workload performance at 4 nodes
and up by maintaining transaction rates without significant drop-off
at high node count.  The patch has practically no impact on 1 and 2
nodes system.

The table below shows the percentage time (as reported by perf
record -a -s -g) spent on the __mutex_lock_slowpath() function by
the high_systime workload at 1500 users for 2/4/8-node configurations
with hyperthreading off.

+---------------+-----------------+------------------+---------+
|    8 nodes    |      65.34%     |      0.69%       |  -99%   |

+---------------+-----------------+------------------+---------+
It is obvious that the dramatic performance improvement at 8
nodes was due to the drastic cut in the time spent within the
__mutex_lock_slowpath() function.

The table below show the improvements in other AIM7 workloads (at 8
nodes, hyperthreading off).

mutex: back out architecture specific check for negative mutex count

Date	Mon, 15 Apr 2013 10:37:59 -0400

If it is confirmed that all the supported architectures can allow a
negative mutex count without incorrect behavior, we can then back
out the architecture specific change and allow the mutex count to
go to any negative number. That should further reduce contention for
non-x86 architecture.

If this is not the case, this patch should be dropped.

msm:rq_stats: Register for Cpufreq policy notification

Currently the load of the system is calculated using the max
frequency that is read during startup(It does not get updated
when the policy changes). As a result, the average load of the
system is incorrectly calculated and the system might not bring
the cpus online to manage the additional load. This
reduces the performance of the system.

To fix this issue, register rq_stats to receive cpufreq policy
notifications. Update the policy's max frequency when a
notification is received and use that value to calculate the load.
