Yuanhan reported a serious throughput regression in his pigz
benchmark. Using the ftrace patch I found that several idle
paths need more TLC before we can switch the generic
need_resched() over to preempt_need_resched.

The preemption paths benefit most from preempt_need_resched and
do indeed use it; all other need_resched() users don't really
care that much so reverting need_resched() back to
tif_need_resched() is the simple and safe solution.

Convert x86 to use a per-cpu preemption count. The reason for doing so
is that accessing per-cpu variables is a lot cheaper than accessing
thread_info variables.

We still need to save/restore the actual preemption count due to
PREEMPT_ACTIVE so we place the per-cpu __preempt_count variable in the
same cache-line as the other hot __switch_to() variables such as
current_task.

NOTE: this save/restore is required even for !PREEMPT kernels as
cond_resched() also relies on preempt_count's PREEMPT_ACTIVE to ignore
task_struct::state.

Also rename thread_info::preempt_count to ensure nobody is
'accidentally' still poking at it.

When using per-cpu preempt_count variables we need to save/restore the
preempt_count on context switch (into per task storage; for instance
the old thread_info::preempt_count variable) because of
PREEMPT_ACTIVE.

However, this means that on fork() the preempt_count value of the last
context switch gets copied and if we had a PREEMPT_ACTIVE switch right
before cloning a child task the child task will now too have
PREEMPT_ACTIVE set and start its life with an extra PREEMPT_ACTIVE
count.

Therefore we need to make init_task_preempt_count() unconditional;
this resets whatever preempt_count we inherited from our parent
process.

Doing so for !per-cpu implementations is harmless.

For !PREEMPT_COUNT kernels we need to be careful not to start life
with an increased preempt_count.

And since we're at it anyway, replace the unconventional

In order to combine the preemption and need_resched test we need to
fold the need_resched information into the preempt_count value.

Since the NEED_RESCHED flag is set across CPUs this needs to be an
atomic operation, however we very much want to avoid making
preempt_count atomic, therefore we keep the existing TIF_NEED_RESCHED
infrastructure in place but at 3 sites test it and fold its value into
preempt_count; namely:

 - resched_task() when setting TIF_NEED_RESCHED on the current task
 - scheduler_ipi() when resched_task() sets TIF_NEED_RESCHED on a
                   remote task it follows it up with a reschedule IPI
                   and we can modify the cpu local preempt_count from
                   there.
 - cpu_idle_loop() for when resched_task() found tsk_is_polling().

We use an inverted bitmask to indicate need_resched so that a 0 means
both need_resched and !atomic.

Also remove the barrier() in preempt_enable() between
preempt_enable_no_resched() and preempt_check_resched() to avoid
having to reload the preemption value and allow the compiler to use
the flags of the previuos decrement. I couldn't come up with any sane
reason for this barrier() to be there as preempt_enable_no_resched()
already has a barrier() before doing the decrement.

The patch in question failed to notice that the x86 code had an
inverted sense of the polling state versus the new generic code (x86:
default polling, generic: default !polling).

Fix the two prominent x86 mwait based idle drivers and introduce a few
new generic polling helpers (fixing the wrong smp_mb__after_clear_bit
usage).

Also switch the idle routines to using tif_need_resched() which is an
immediate TIF_NEED_RESCHED test as opposed to need_resched which will
end up being slightly different.

Linus suggested using asm goto to get rid of the typical SETcc + TEST
instruction pair -- which also clobbers an extra register -- for our

Because asm goto doesn't allow output fields it has to include an

a reload.

Luckily all atomic ops already imply a compiler barrier to go along

In this patch, we keep track of the max cost we spend doing idle load balancing
for each sched domain. If the avg time the CPU remains idle is less then the
time we have already spent on idle balancing + the max cost of idle balancing
in the sched domain, then we don't continue to attempt the balance. We also
keep a per rq variable, max_idle_balance_cost, which keeps track of the max
time spent on newidle load balances throughout all its domains so that we can
determine the avg_idle's max value.

By using the max, we avoid overrunning the average. This further reduces the
chance we attempt balancing when the CPU is not idle for longer than the cost
to balance.

In busiest->group_imb case we can come to fix_small_imbalance() with
