Now that we have a nohz full remote kick based on irq work, lets use
it to notify a CPU that it's exiting single task mode.

This unbloats a bit the scheduler IPI that the nohz code was abusing
for its cool "callable anywhere/anytime" properties.

When a new timer is enqueued on a full dynticks target, that CPU must
re-evaluate the next tick to handle the timer correctly.

This is currently performed through the scheduler IPI. Meanwhile this
happens at the cost of off-topic workarounds in that fast path to make
it call irq_exit().

As we plan to remove this hack off the scheduler IPI, lets use
the nohz full kick instead. Pretty much any IPI fits for that job
as long at it calls irq_exit(). The nohz full kick just happens to be
handy and readily available here.

If it happens to be too much an overkill in the future, we can still
turn that timer kick into an empty IPI.

[ This series reduces the number of IPIs on Andy's workload by something like
  99%. It's down from many hundreds per second to very few.

  The basic idea behind this series is to make TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG be a
  reliable indication that the idle task is polling.  Once that's done,
  the rest is reasonably straightforward. ]

When enqueueing tasks on remote LLC domains, we send an IPI to do the
work 'locally' and avoid bouncing all the cachelines over.

However, when the remote CPU is idle (and polling, say x86 mwait), we
don't need to send an IPI, we can simply kick the TIF word to wake it
up and have the 'idle' loop do the work.

So when _TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG is set, but _TIF_NEED_RESCHED is not (yet)
set, set _TIF_NEED_RESCHED and avoid sending the IPI.

	SD_SHARE_CPUPOWER  -> SD_SHARE_CPUCAPACITY
	ARCH_POWER         -> ARCH_CAPACITY

This contains the architecture visible changes.  Incidentally, only ARM
takes advantage of the available pow^H^H^Hcapacity scaling hooks and
therefore those changes outside kernel/sched/ are confined to one ARM
specific file.  The default arch_scale_smt_power() hook is not overridden
by anyone.

Replacements are as follows:

	arch_scale_freq_power  --> arch_scale_freq_capacity
	arch_scale_smt_power   --> arch_scale_smt_capacity
	SCHED_POWER_SCALE      --> SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE
	SCHED_POWER_SHIFT      --> SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT

The local usage of "power" in arch/arm/kernel/topology.c is also changed
to "capacity" as appropriate.

tg_set_cfs_bandwidth() sets cfs_b->timer_active to 0 to
force the period timer restart. It's not safe, because
can lead to deadlock, described in commit 927b54fc:
"__start_cfs_bandwidth calls hrtimer_cancel while holding rq->lock,
waiting for the hrtimer to finish. However, if sched_cfs_period_timer
runs for another loop iteration, the hrtimer can attempt to take
rq->lock, resulting in deadlock."

Three CPUs must be involved:

  CPU0               CPU1                         CPU2
  take rq->lock      period timer fired
  ...                take cfs_b lock
  ...                ...                          tg_set_cfs_bandwidth()
  throttle_cfs_rq()  release cfs_b lock           take cfs_b lock
  ...                distribute_cfs_runtime()     timer_active = 0
  take cfs_b->lock   wait for rq->lock            ...
  __start_cfs_bandwidth()
  {wait for timer callback
   break if timer_active == 1}

So, CPU0 and CPU1 are deadlocked.

Instead of resetting cfs_b->timer_active, tg_set_cfs_bandwidth can
wait for period timer callbacks (ignoring cfs_b->timer_active) and
restart the timer explicitly.

If the sched_clock time starts at a large value, the kernel will spin
in sched_avg_update for a long time while rq->age_stamp catches up
with rq->clock.

The comment in kernel/sched/clock.c says that there is no strict promise
that it starts at zero.  So initialize rq->age_stamp when a cpu starts up
to avoid this.

I was seeing long delays on a simulator that didn't start the clock at
zero.  This might also be an issue on reboots on processors that don't
re-initialize the timer to zero on reset, and when using kexec.

Jet Chen has reported a kernel panics when booting qemu-system-x86_64 with
kvm64 cpu. A panic occured while building the sched_domain.

In sched_init_numa, we create a new topology table in which both default
levels and numa levels are copied. The last row of the table must have a null
pointer in the mask field.

The current implementation doesn't add this last row in the computation of the
table size. So we add 1 row in the allocation size that will be used as the
last row of the table. The kzalloc will ensure that the mask field is NULL.

Michael Kerrisk noticed that creating SCHED_DEADLINE reservations
with certain parameters (e.g, a runtime of something near 2^64 ns)
can cause a system freeze for some amount of time.

The problem is that in the interface we have

 u64 sched_runtime;

while internally we need to have a signed runtime (to cope with
budget overruns)

 s64 runtime;

At the time we setup a new dl_entity we copy the first value in
the second. The cast turns out with negative values when
sched_runtime is too big, and this causes the scheduler to go crazy
right from the start.

Moreover, considering how we deal with deadlines wraparound

 (s64)(a - b) < 0

we also have to restrict acceptable values for sched_{deadline,period}.

This patch fixes the thing checking that user parameters are always
below 2^63 ns (still large enough for everyone).

It also rewrites other conditions that we check, since in
__checkparam_dl we don't have to deal with deadline wraparounds
and what we have now erroneously fails when the difference between
values is too big.

The documented[1] behavior of sched_attr() in the proposed man page text is:

    sched_attr::size must be set to the size of the structure, as in
    sizeof(struct sched_attr), if the provided structure is smaller
    than the kernel structure, any additional fields are assumed
    '0'. If the provided structure is larger than the kernel structure,
    the kernel verifies all additional fields are '0' if not the
    syscall will fail with -E2BIG.

As currently implemented, sched_copy_attr() returns -EFBIG for
for this case, but the logic in sys_sched_setattr() converts that
error to -EFAULT. This patch fixes the behavior.

This patch drops the trivial wrapper css_parent() and let the users
dereference css->parent.  While at it, explicitly mark fields of css
which are public and immutable.

v2: New usage from device_cgroup.c converted.

Given a CPU running a loop containing cond_resched(), with no
other tasks runnable on that CPU, RCU will eventually report RCU
CPU stall warnings due to lack of quiescent states.  Fortunately,
every call to cond_resched() is a perfectly good quiescent state.
Unfortunately, invoking rcu_note_context_switch() is a bit heavyweight
for cond_resched(), especially given the need to disable preemption,
and, for RCU-preempt, interrupts as well.

This commit therefore maintains a per-CPU counter that causes
cond_resched(), cond_resched_lock(), and cond_resched_softirq() to call
rcu_note_context_switch(), but only about once per 256 invocations.
This ratio was chosen in keeping with the relative time constants of
RCU grace periods.

Because mwait_idle_with_hints() gets called from !idle context it must
call current_clr_polling(). This however means that resched_task() is
very likely to send an IPI even when we were polling:

  CPU0					CPU1

  if (current_set_polling_and_test())
    goto out;

  __monitor(&ti->flags);
  if (!need_resched())
    __mwait(eax, ecx);
					set_tsk_need_resched(p);
					smp_mb();
out:
  current_clr_polling();
					if (!tsk_is_polling(p))
					  smp_send_reschedule(cpu);

So while it is correct (extra IPIs aren't a problem, whereas a missed
IPI would be) it is a performance problem (for some).

Avoid this issue by using fetch_or() to atomically set NEED_RESCHED
and test if POLLING_NRFLAG is set.

Since a CPU stuck in mwait is unlikely to modify the flags word,
contention on the cmpxchg is unlikely and thus we should mostly
succeed in a single go.

A new flag SD_SHARE_POWERDOMAIN is created to reflect whether groups of CPUs
in a sched_domain level can or not reach different power state. As an example,
the flag should be cleared at CPU level if groups of cores can be power gated
independently. This information can be used in the load balance decision or to
add load balancing level between group of CPUs that can power gate
independantly.
This flag is part of the topology flags that can be set by arch.

We replace the old way to configure the scheduler topology with a new method
which enables a platform to declare additionnal level (if needed).

We still have a default topology table definition that can be used by platform
that don't want more level than the SMT, MC, CPU and NUMA ones. This table can
be overwritten by an arch which either wants to add new level where a load
balance make sense like BOOK or powergating level or wants to change the flags
configuration of some levels.

For each level, we need a function pointer that returns cpumask for each cpu,
a function pointer that returns the flags for the level and a name. Only flags
that describe topology, can be set by an architecture. The current topology
flags are:

 SD_SHARE_CPUPOWER
 SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES
 SD_NUMA
 SD_ASYM_PACKING

Then, each level must be a subset on the next one. The build sequence of the
sched_domain will take care of removing useless levels like those with 1 CPU
and those with the same CPU span and no more relevant information for
load balancing than its children.

Optimize the second call away for the common case and document the
dependency.

yield_task_dl() is broken:

 o it forces current to be throttled setting its runtime to zero;
 o it sets current's dl_se->dl_new to one, expecting that dl_task_timer()
   will queue it back with proper parameters at replenish time.

Unfortunately, dl_task_timer() has this check at the very beginning:

	if (!dl_task(p) || dl_se->dl_new)
		goto unlock;

So, it just bails out and the task is never replenished. It actually
yielded forever.

To fix this, introduce a new flag indicating that the task properly yielded
the CPU before its current runtime expired. While this is a little overdoing
at the moment, the flag would be useful in the future to discriminate between
"good" jobs (of which remaining runtime could be reclaimed, i.e. recycled)
and "bad" jobs (for which dl_throttled task has been set) that needed to be
stopped.

Introduce NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() macro which builds a kprobes
blacklist at kernel build time.

The usage of this macro is similar to EXPORT_SYMBOL(),
placed after the function definition:

  NOKPROBE_SYMBOL(function);

Since this macro will inhibit inlining of static/inline
functions, this patch also introduces a nokprobe_inline macro
for static/inline functions. In this case, we must use
NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() for the inline function caller.

When CONFIG_KPROBES=y, the macro stores the given function
address in the "_kprobe_blacklist" section.

Since the data structures are not fully initialized by the
macro (because there is no "size" information),  those
are re-initialized at boot time by using kallsyms.

Since the smp_mb__{before,after}*() ops are fundamentally dependent on
how an arch can implement atomics it doesn't make sense to have 3
variants of them. They must all be the same.

Furthermore, the 3 variants suggest they're only valid for those 3
atomic ops, while we have many more where they could be applied.

So move away from
smp_mb__{before,after}_{atomic,clear}_{dec,inc,bit}() and reduce the
interface to just the two: smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic().

This patch prepares the way by introducing default implementations in
asm-generic/barrier.h that default to a full barrier and providing
__deprecated inlines for the previous 6 barriers if they're not
provided by the arch.

This should allow for a mostly painless transition (lots of deprecated
warns in the interim).
