When a task in a taskgroup sleeps, pick_next_task starts all the way back at
the root and picks the task/taskgroup with the min vruntime across all
runnable tasks.

But when there are many frequently sleeping tasks across different taskgroups,
it makes better sense to stay with same taskgroup for its slice period (or
until all tasks in the taskgroup sleeps) instead of switching cross taskgroup
on each sleep after a short runtime.

This helps specifically where taskgroups corresponds to a process with
multiple threads. The change reduces the number of CR3 switches in this case.

Example:

Two taskgroups with 2 threads each which are running for 2ms and
sleeping for 1ms. Looking at sched:sched_switch shows:

BEFORE: taskgroup_1 threads [5004, 5005], taskgroup_2 threads [5016, 5017]
      cpu-soaker-5004  [003]  3683.391089
      cpu-soaker-5016  [003]  3683.393106

      cpu-soaker-5005  [003]  3683.403168
      cpu-soaker-5017  [003]  3683.405170

AFTER: taskgroup_1 threads [21890, 21891], taskgroup_2 threads [21934, 21935]
      cpu-soaker-21890 [003]   865.895494
      cpu-soaker-21935 [003]   865.897506
      cpu-soaker-21934 [003]   865.899520
      cpu-soaker-21935 [003]   865.901532
      cpu-soaker-21934 [003]   865.903543
      cpu-soaker-21935 [003]   865.905546
      cpu-soaker-21891 [003]   865.907548
      cpu-soaker-21890 [003]   865.909560
      cpu-soaker-21891 [003]   865.911571
      cpu-soaker-21890 [003]   865.913582

      cpu-soaker-21934 [003]   865.917606

Similar problem is there when there are multiple taskgroups and say a task A
preempts currently running task B of taskgroup_1. On schedule, pick_next_task
can pick an unrelated task on taskgroup_2. Here it would be better to give some
preference to task B on pick_next_task.

A simple (may be extreme case) benchmark I tried was tbench with 2 tbench
client processes with 2 threads each running on a single CPU. Avg throughput
across 5 50 sec runs was:

Now that we've removed the rq->lock requirement from the first part of
ttwu() and can compute placement without holding any rq->lock, ensure
we execute the second half of ttwu() on the actual cpu we want the
task to run on.

This avoids having to take rq->lock and doing the task enqueue
remotely, saving lots on cacheline transfers.

Currently ttwu() does two rq->lock acquisitions, once on the task's
old rq, holding it over the p->state fiddling and load-balance pass.
Then it drops the old rq->lock to acquire the new rq->lock.

By having serialized ttwu(), p->sched_class, p->cpus_allowed with
p->pi_lock, we can now drop the whole first rq->lock acquisition.

The p->pi_lock serializing concurrent ttwu() calls protects p->state,
which we will set to TASK_WAKING to bridge possible p->pi_lock to
rq->lock gaps and serialize set_task_cpu() calls against
task_rq_lock().

The p->pi_lock serialization of p->sched_class allows us to call
scheduling class methods without holding the rq->lock, and the
serialization of p->cpus_allowed allows us to do the load-balancing
bits without races.

In order to be able to call set_task_cpu() while either holding
p->pi_lock or task_rq(p)->lock we need to hold both locks in order to
stabilize task_rq().

This makes task_rq_lock() acquire both locks, and have
__task_rq_lock() validate that p->pi_lock is held. This increases the
locking overhead for most scheduler syscalls but allows reduction of
rq->lock contention for some scheduler hot paths (ttwu).

The ATAG_BOARDINFO is intended to hand over the information
bd->bi_board_number from u-boot to the kernel.

This piece of information can be used to implement some kind of board
identification while booting the kernel. Therefore it is placed in .initdata
section and can be accessed via the new symbol board_number only while
initializing the kernel.

platform_get_irq returns -ENXIO on failure, so !int_irq was probably
always true.  Better use (int)int_irq <= 0.  Note that a return value of
zero is still handled as error even though this could mean irq0.

This is a followup to 305b3228 that
changed the return value of platform_get_irq from 0 to -ENXIO on error.

We can delete the code that checks to see if we're sending an ignored
signal to init because force_sig_info() already handles this case.
force_sig_info() will kill init even if the signal handler is SIG_DFL
and the scenario described in the comment where init might "generate
the same exception over and over again" cannot occur (force_sig_info()
clears SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE to ensure that init will die).

Also, the use of is_global_init() is not correct in the multhreaded
case, as Oleg Nesterov explains,

	"is_global_init() is not right in theory, /sbin/init can be
	multithreaded. And, this doesn't cover the sub-namespace
	inits... I'd suggest to check SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE, but looking
	closer I think you can simply remove this code."

It seems this code was copied from arch/powerpc in March 2007 in commit

  623b0355 "[AVR32] Clean up exception handling code"

but the code was deleted from arch/powerpc in November 2009 in commit

  a0592d42 "powerpc: kill the obsolete code under is_global_init()"

So catch up with powerpc and delete the bogus code.

When writing out /sys/kernel/debug/at32ap_clk, clock list lock is being
held while clk_get() is called. clk_get() attempts to take the same
lock, which results in deadlock. Introduce and call lock free version,
__clk_get(), instead.

gas used to accept (and ignore?) .size directives which referred to
undefined symbols, as this does.  In binutils 2.21 these are treated
as errors.
