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.

cpufreq: Add a sync limit to cpu-boost

Perform frequency synchronization only when source CPU's frequency
is less than sync_threshold, else sync to the sync_threshold.

cpufreq: Add Input Boost feature to the cpu-boost driver

On incoming input events boost the frequency of all online cpus
for at least input_boost_ms ms. This is accomplished by changing
the policy->min of all the online cpus to input_boost_freq.

cpufreq: cpu-boost: Fix queue_delayed_work_on() race with hotplug

Calling queue_delayed_work_on() on a CPU that's in the process of getting
hotplugged out can result in that CPU infinitely looping in
msm_pm_wait_cpu_shutdown(). If queue_delayed_work_on() is called after the
CPU is hotplugged out, it could wake up the CPU without going through the
hotplug path and cause instability. To avoid this, make sure the CPU is and
stays online while queuing a work on it.

cpufreq: cpu-boost: Fix deadlock in wake_up of sync threads

If wake_up() is called on the current task on a CPU, the call will wait
until the current task is switched out before it wakes it up again and
returns.

The sync notifier for a CPU always runs on that CPU.

These two together can result in a deadlock if the sync notifier on CPU A
tries to wake up the sync thread of CPU A as it goes to sleep (is the
current task). A previous commit fixed this by adding a check to the sync
notifier to not wake up the sync thread of CPU A if it's the current task.

But this is still not sufficient to prevent deadlocks.

Sync thread of CPU A could be the current task on CPU B and sync thread of
CPU B could be the current task on CPU A.  At this point, if sync notifier
of CPU A and B try to wake up the sync threads of CPU A and B, it will
result in CPU A waiting for the current task in CPU B to get switched out
and CPU B waiting for the current task in CPU A to get switched out.  This
will result in a deadlock.

Prevent this scenario from happening by pinning the sync threads of each
CPU to run on that CPU. By doing this, we guarantee that sync notifiers
will only try to wake up sync threads running on that CPU. The fix added by
"cpufreq: cpu-boost: Resolve deadlock when waking up sync thread" ensures a
deadlock doesn't happen when a sync notifier tries to wake up a sync thread
running on that CPU.

cpufreq: cpu-boost: Don't register for cpufreq notifiers too early

The cpufreq notifiers should be registered only after all the data
structures used in the notifier callbacks have been initialized. So, move
the cpufreq notifier registration to a later point in the init function.

ext4: Speed up FITRIM by recording flags in ext4_group_info

In ext4, when FITRIM is called every time, we iterate all the
groups and do trim one by one. It is a bit time wasting if the
group has been trimmed and there is no change since the last
trim.

So this patch adds a new flag in ext4_group_info->bb_state to
indicate that the group has been trimmed, and it will be cleared
if some blocks is freed(in release_blocks_on_commit). Another
trim_minlen is added in ext4_sb_info to record the last minlen
we use to trim the volume, so that if the caller provide a small
one, we will go on the trim regardless of the bb_state.

A simple test with my intel x25m ssd:
df -h shows:
/dev/sdb1              40G   21G   17G  56% /mnt/ext4
Block size:               4096

run the FITRIM with the following parameter:
range.start = 0;
range.len = UINT64_MAX;
range.minlen = 1048576;

without the patch:
[root@boyu-tm linux-2.6]# time ./ftrim /mnt/ext4/a
real	0m5.505s

with the patch:
[root@boyu-tm linux-2.6]# time ./ftrim /mnt/ext4/a
real	0m5.625s
user	0m0.000s
sys	0m1.269s

[root@boyu-tm linux-2.6]# time ./ftrim /mnt/ext4/a
real	0m0.002s
user	0m0.000s
sys	0m0.001s

A big improvement for the 2nd and 3rd run.

Even after I delete some big image files, it is still much
faster than iterating the whole disk.
