block: add REQ_URGENT to request flags

This patch adds a new flag to be used in cmd_flags field of struct request
for marking request as urgent.
Urgent request is the one that should be given priority currently handled
(regular) request by the device driver. The decision of a request urgency
is taken by the scheduler.

sched: fix rq->lock recursion

Enabling SCHED_HRTICK currently results in rq->lock recursion and a hard
hang at bootup.  Essentially try_to_wakeup() grabs rq->lock and tries
arming a hrtimer via hrtimer_restart(), which deep down tries waking up
ksoftirqd, which leads to a recursive call to try_to_wakeup() and thus
attempt to take rq->lock recursively!!

This is fixed by having scheduler queue hrtimer via
__hrtimer_start_range_ns() which avoids waking up ksoftirqd.

sched: Reset rq->next_interval before going idle

next_balance, the point in jiffy time scale when a cpu will next load
balance, could have been calculated when the cpu was busy. A busy cpu
will apply its sched domain's busy_factor (usually > 1) in computing
next_balance for that sched domain, which causes the (busy) cpu to load
balance less frequently in its sched domains. However when the same cpu
is going idle, its next_balance needs to be reset without consideration
of busy_factor. Failure to do so would not trigger nohz idle balancer on
that cpu for unnecessarily long time (introducing additional scheduling
latencies for tasks). Fix bug in scheduler which aims to reset
next_balance before a cpu goes idle (as per existing comment) but is
clearly not doing so.

sched: Fix SCHED_HRTICK bug leading to late preemption of tasks

SCHED_HRTICK feature is useful to preempt SCHED_FAIR tasks on-the-dot
(just when they would have exceeded their ideal_runtime). It makes use
of a a per-cpu hrtimer resource and hence alarming that hrtimer should
be based on total SCHED_FAIR tasks a cpu has across its various cfs_rqs,
rather than being based on number of tasks in a particular cfs_rq (as
implemented currently). As a result, with current code, its possible for
a running task (which is the sole task in its cfs_rq) to be preempted
much after its ideal_runtime has elapsed, resulting in increased latency
for tasks in other cfs_rq on same cpu.

Fix this by alarming sched hrtimer based on total number of SCHED_FAIR
tasks a CPU has across its various cfs_rqs.

sched: fix reference to wrong cfs_rq

Commit 7db16c8c (sched: Fix SCHED_HRTICK bug leading to late preemption
of tasks) introduced a bug in sched_slice() calculation by using wrong
cfs_rq for tasks. rq->cfs was incorrectly used as task's cfs_rq, rather
than the correct one to which they belonged.

Fix the bug by using correct cfs_rq for tasks.

sched: re-calculate a cpu's next_balance point upon sched domain changes

Commit 55ddeb0f (sched: Reset rq->next_interval before going idle) reset
a cpu's rq->next_balance when pulled_task = 0, which will be true when
the cpu failed to pull any task, causing it go idle. However that patch
relied on next_balance being calculated as a result of traversing cpu's
sched domain hierarchy.

A cpu that is the only online cpu will however not be attached to any
sched domain hierarchy. When such a cpu calls into idle_balance(), we
will end up initializing next_balance to be 1sec away! Such a CPU will
defer load balance check for another 1sec, even though we may bring up
more cpus in the meantime requiring it to check for load imbalance more
frequently. This could then lead to increased scheduling latency for
some tasks.

This patch results in a cpu's next_balance being re-calculated when its
attaching to a new sched domain hierarchy.  This should let cpus call
load balance checks at the right time we expect them to!

sched: change WARN_ON_ONCE to WARN_ON in try_to_wake_up_local()

The WARN_ON_ONCE() calls at the beginning of try_to_wake_up_local()
were recently converted from BUG_ON() calls. If these hit it indicates
something is wrong and that may contribute to other system instability.
To eliminate the risk of an instance of one of these errors going
un-noticed because there was an earlier instance that occured long ago,
change to WARN_ON(). If there ever is a flood of these there are bigger
problems.

tracing/sched: add load balancer tracepoint

When doing performance analysis it can be useful to see exactly
what is going on with the load balancer - when it runs and why
exactly it may not be redistributing load.

This additional tracepoint will show the idle context of the
load balance operation (idle, not idle, newly idle), various
values from the load balancing operation, the final result,
and the new balance interval.

sched: Fix clear NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK

I have faced a sequence where the Idle Load Balance was sometime not
triggered for a while on my platform, in the following scenario:

 CPU 0 and CPU 1 are running tasks and CPU 2 is idle

 CPU 1 kicks the Idle Load Balance
 CPU 1 selects CPU 2 as the new Idle Load Balancer
 CPU 2 sets NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK for CPU 2
 CPU 2 sends a reschedule IPI to CPU 2

 While CPU 3 wakes up, CPU 0 or CPU 1 migrates a waking up task A on CPU 2

 CPU 2 finally wakes up, runs task A and discards the Idle Load Balance
       task A quickly goes back to sleep (before a tick occurs on CPU 2)
 CPU 2 goes back to idle with NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK set

Whenever CPU 2 will be selected as the ILB, no reschedule IPI will be sent
because NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK is already set and no Idle Load Balance will be
performed.

We must wait for the sched softirq to be raised on CPU 2 thanks to another
part the kernel to come back to clear NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK.

The proposed solution clears NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK in schedule_ipi if
we can't raise the sched_softirq for the Idle Load Balance.

Change since V1:

- move the clear of NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK in got_nohz_idle_kick if the ILB
  can't run on this CPU (as suggested by Peter)

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" .
