The ondemand cpufreq governor uses CPU busy time (e.g. not-idle time) as a measure for scaling the CPU frequency up or down. If the CPU is busy, the CPU frequency scales up, if it's idle, the CPU frequency scales down. Effectively, it uses the CPU busy time as proxy variable for the more nebulous "how critical is performance right now" question. This algorithm falls flat on its face in the light of workloads where you're alternatingly disk and CPU bound, such as the ever popular "git grep", but also things like startup of programs and maildir using email clients... much to the chagarin of Andrew Morton. This patch changes the ondemand algorithm to count iowait time as busy, not idle, time. As shown in the breakdown cases above, iowait is performance critical often, and by counting iowait, the proxy variable becomes a more accurate representation of the "how critical is performance" question. The problem and fix are both verified with the "perf timechar" tool.

For the ondemand cpufreq governor, it is desired that the iowait time is microaccounted in a similar way as idle time is. This patch introduces the infrastructure to account and expose this information via the get_cpu_iowait_time_us() function.

Now that the only user of ts->idle_lastupdate is update_ts_time_stats(), the entire field can be eliminated. In update_ts_time_stats(), idle_lastupdate is first set to "now", and a few lines later, the only user is an if() statement that assigns a variable either to "now" or to ts->idle_lastupdate, which has the value of "now" at that point.

Right now, get_cpu_idle_time_us() only reports the idle statistics upto the point the CPU entered last idle; not what is valid right now. This patch adds an update of the idle statistics to get_cpu_idle_time_us(), so that calling this function always returns statistics that are accurate at the point of the call. This includes resetting the start of the idle time for accounting purposes to avoid double accounting.

When !CONFIG_SMP, cpu_stop functions weren't defined at all which could lead to build failures if UP code uses cpu_stop facility. Add dummy cpu_stop implementation for UP. The waiting variants execute the work function directly with preempt disabled and stop_one_cpu_nowait() schedules a workqueue work. Makefile and ifdefs around stop_machine implementation are updated to accomodate CONFIG_SMP && !CONFIG_STOP_MACHINE case.

The paranoid check which verifies that the cpu_stop callback is actually called on all online cpus is completely superflous. It's guaranteed by cpu_stop facility and if it didn't work as advertised other things would go horribly wrong and trying to recover using synchronize_sched() wouldn't be very meaningful. Kill the paranoid check. Removal of this feature is done as a separate step so that it can serve as a bisection point if something actually goes wrong.

Currently migration_thread is serving three purposes - migration pusher, context to execute active_load_balance() and forced context switcher for expedited RCU synchronize_sched. All three roles are hardcoded into migration_thread() and determining which job is scheduled is slightly messy. This patch kills migration_thread and replaces all three uses with cpu_stop. The three different roles of migration_thread() are splitted into three separate cpu_stop callbacks - migration_cpu_stop(), active_load_balance_cpu_stop() and synchronize_sched_expedited_cpu_stop() - and each use case now simply asks cpu_stop to execute the callback as necessary. synchronize_sched_expedited() was implemented with private preallocated resources and custom multi-cpu queueing and waiting logic, both of which are provided by cpu_stop. synchronize_sched_expedited_count is made atomic and all other shared resources along with the mutex are dropped. synchronize_sched_expedited() also implemented a check to detect cases where not all the callback got executed on their assigned cpus and fall back to synchronize_sched(). If called with cpu hotplug blocked, cpu_stop already guarantees that and the condition cannot happen; otherwise, stop_machine() would break. However, this patch preserves the paranoid check using a cpumask to record on which cpus the stopper ran so that it can serve as a bisection point if something actually goes wrong theree. Because the internal execution state is no longer visible, rcu_expedited_torture_stats() is removed. This patch also renames cpu_stop threads to from "stopper/%d" to "migration/%d". The names of these threads ultimately don't matter and there's no reason to make unnecessary userland visible changes. With this patch applied, stop_machine() and sched now share the same resources. stop_machine() is faster without wasting any resources and sched migration users are much cleaner.

Reimplement stop_machine using cpu_stop. As cpu stoppers are guaranteed to be available for all online cpus, stop_machine_create/destroy() are no longer necessary and removed. With resource management and synchronization handled by cpu_stop, the new implementation is much simpler. Asking the cpu_stop to execute the stop_cpu() state machine on all online cpus with cpu hotplug disabled is enough. stop_machine itself doesn't need to manage any global resources anymore, so all per-instance information is rolled into struct stop_machine_data and the mutex and all static data variables are removed. The previous implementation created and destroyed RT workqueues as necessary which made stop_machine() calls highly expensive on very large machines. According to Dimitri Sivanich, preventing the dynamic creation/destruction makes booting faster more than twice on very large machines. cpu_stop resources are preallocated for all online cpus and should have the same effect.

Implement a simplistic per-cpu maximum priority cpu monopolization mechanism. A non-sleeping callback can be scheduled to run on one or multiple cpus with maximum priority monopolozing those cpus. This is primarily to replace and unify RT workqueue usage in stop_machine and scheduler migration_thread which currently is serving multiple purposes. Four functions are provided - stop_one_cpu(), stop_one_cpu_nowait(), stop_cpus() and try_stop_cpus(). This is to allow clean sharing of resources among stop_cpu and all the migration thread users. One stopper thread per cpu is created which is currently named "stopper/CPU". This will eventually replace the migration thread and take on its name. * This facility was originally named cpuhog and lived in separate files but Peter Zijlstra nacked the name and thus got renamed to cpu_stop and moved into stop_machine.c. * Better reporting of preemption leak as per Peter's suggestion.

On low memory boxes or those with highmem, kernel can OOM before the background reclaims inodes via xfssyncd. Add a shrinker to run inode reclaim so that it inode reclaim is expedited when memory is low. This is more complex than it needs to be because the VM folk don't want a context added to the shrinker infrastructure.
