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.

Rewrite the preempt_count macros in order to extract the 3 basic preempt_count value modifiers: __preempt_count_add() __preempt_count_sub() and the new: __preempt_count_dec_and_test() And since we're at it anyway, replace the unconventional $op_preempt_count names with the more conventional preempt_count_$op. Since these basic operators are equivalent to the previous _notrace() variants, do away with the _notrace() versions.

We need a few special preempt_count accessors: - task_preempt_count() for when we're interested in the preemption count of another (non-running) task. - init_task_preempt_count() for properly initializing the preemption count. - init_idle_preempt_count() a special case of the above for the idle threads. With these no generic code ever touches thread_info::preempt_count anymore and architectures could choose to remove it.

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.

Mike reported that commit 7d1a9417 ("x86: Use generic idle loop") regressed several workloads and caused excessive reschedule interrupts. 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 typical modify_and_test() functions. Because asm goto doesn't allow output fields it has to include an unconditinal memory clobber when it changes a memory variable to force a reload. Luckily all atomic ops already imply a compiler barrier to go along with their memory barrier semantics.

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.

When updating avg_idle, if the delta exceeds some max value, then avg_idle gets set to the max, regardless of what the previous avg was. This can cause avg_idle to often be overestimated. This patch modifies the way we update avg_idle by always updating it with the function call to update_avg() first. Then, if avg_idle exceeds the max, we set it to the max.

In busiest->group_imb case we can come to fix_small_imbalance() with local->avg_load > busiest->avg_load. This can result in wrong imbalance fix-up, because there is the following check there where all the members are unsigned: if (busiest->avg_load - local->avg_load + scaled_busy_load_per_task >= (scaled_busy_load_per_task * imbn)) { env->imbalance = busiest->load_per_task; return; } As a result we can end up constantly bouncing tasks from one cpu to another if there are pinned tasks.

In busiest->group_imb case we can come to calculate_imbalance() with local->avg_load >= busiest->avg_load >= sds->avg_load. This can result in imbalance overflow, because it is calculated as follows env->imbalance = min( max_pull * busiest->group_power, (sds->avg_load - local->avg_load) * local->group_power) / SCHED_POWER_SCALE; As a result we can end up constantly bouncing tasks from one cpu to another if there are pinned tasks.
