double_lock balance() currently favors logically lower cpus since they
often do not have to release their own lock to acquire a second lock.
The result is that logically higher cpus can get starved when there is
a lot of pressure on the RQs.  This can result in higher latencies on
higher cpu-ids.

This patch makes the algorithm more fair by forcing all paths to have
to release both locks before acquiring them again.  Since callsites to
double_lock_balance already consider it a potential preemption/reschedule
point, they have the proper logic to recheck for atomicity violations.

git-id c4acb2c0 attempted to limit
newidle critical section length by stopping after at least one task
was moved.  Further investigation has shown that there are other
paths nested further inside the algorithm which still remain that allow
long latencies to occur with newidle balancing.  This patch applies
the same technique inside balance_tasks() to limit the duration of
this optional balancing operation.

There is no sense in wasting time trying to push a task away that
cannot move anywhere else.  We gain no benefit from trying to push
other tasks at this point, so if the task being woken up is non
migratable, just skip the whole operation.  This reduces overhead
in the wakeup path for certain tasks.
Signed-off-by: Gregory Haskins <ghaskins@novell.com>

We currently take the rq->lock for every cpu in an overload state during
pull_rt_tasks().  However, we now have enough information via the
highest_prio.[curr|next] fields to determine if there is any tasks of
interest to warrant the overhead of the rq->lock, before we actually take
it.  So we use this information to reduce lock contention during the
pull for the case where the source-rq doesnt have tasks that preempt
the current task.
Signed-off-by: Gregory Haskins <ghaskins@novell.com>

highest_prio.curr is actually a more accurate way to keep track of
the pull_rt_task() threshold since it is always up to date, even
if the "next" task migrates during double_lock.  Therefore, stop
looking at the "next" task object and simply use the highest_prio.curr.

Impact: change task balancing to save power more agressively

Add SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE flag at MC level and CPU level
if sched_mc is set.  This helps power savings and
will not affect performance when sched_mc=0

Ingo and Mike Galbraith have optimised the SD flags by
removing SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE at MC and CPU level.  This
helps performance but hurts power savings since this
slows down task consolidation by reducing the number
of times load_balance is run.

Impact: tweak task balancing to save power more agressively

Active load balancing is a process by which migration thread
is woken up on the target CPU in order to pull current
running task on another package into this newly idle
package.

This method is already in use with normal load_balance(),
this patch introduces this method to new idle cpus when
sched_mc is set to POWERSAVINGS_BALANCE_WAKEUP.

This logic provides effective consolidation of short running
daemon jobs in a almost idle system

The side effect of this patch may be ping-ponging of tasks
if the system is moderately utilised. May need to adjust the
iterations before triggering.

Impact: tweak task wakeup to save power more agressively

Preferred wakeup cpu (from a semi idle package) has been
nominated in find_busiest_group() in the previous patch.  Use
this information in sched_mc_preferred_wakeup_cpu in function
wake_idle() to bias task wakeups if the following conditions
are satisfied:

        - The present cpu that is trying to wakeup the process is
          idle and waking the target process on this cpu will
          potentially wakeup a completely idle package
        - The previous cpu on which the target process ran is
          also idle and hence selecting the previous cpu may
          wakeup a semi idle cpu package
        - The task being woken up is allowed to run in the
          nominated cpu (cpu affinity and restrictions)

Basically if both the current cpu and the previous cpu on
which the task ran is idle, select the nominated cpu from semi
idle cpu package for running the new task that is waking up.

Cache hotness is considered since the actual biasing happens
in wake_idle() only if the application is cache cold.

This technique will effectively move short running bursty jobs in
a mostly idle system.

Wakeup biasing for power savings gets automatically disabled if
system utilisation increases due to the fact that the probability
of finding both this_cpu and prev_cpu idle decreases.

Impact: extend load-balancing code (no change in behavior yet)

When the system utilisation is low and more cpus are idle,
then the process waking up from sleep should prefer to
wakeup an idle cpu from semi-idle cpu package (multi core
package) rather than a completely idle cpu package which
would waste power.

Use the sched_mc balance logic in find_busiest_group() to
nominate a preferred wakeup cpu.

This info can be stored in appropriate sched_domain, but
updating this info in all copies of sched_domain is not
practical.  Hence this information is stored in root_domain
struct which is one copy per partitioned sched domain.
The root_domain can be accessed from each cpu's runqueue
and there is one copy per partitioned sched domain.

Impact: change load-balancing direction to match that of irqbalanced

Just in case two groups have identical load, prefer to move load to lower
logical cpu number rather than the present logic of moving to higher logical
number.

find_busiest_group() tries to look for a group_leader that has spare capacity
to take more tasks and freeup an appropriate least loaded group.  Just in case
there is a tie and the load is equal, then the group with higher logical number
is favoured.  This conflicts with user space irqbalance daemon that will move
interrupts to lower logical number if the system utilisation is very low.

Impact: extend range of /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_mc_power_savings

Currently the sched_mc/smt_power_savings variable is a boolean,
which either enables or disables topology based power savings.
This patch extends the behaviour of the variable from boolean to
multivalued, such that based on the value, we decide how
aggressively do we want to perform powersavings balance at
appropriate sched domain based on topology.

Variable levels of power saving tunable would benefit end user to
match the required level of power savings vs performance
trade-off depending on the system configuration and workloads.

This version makes the sched_mc_power_savings global variable to
take more values (0,1,2).  Later versions can have a single
tunable called sched_power_savings instead of
sched_{mc,smt}_power_savings.

Impact: fix potential APIC crash

In determining the destination apicid, there are usually three cpumasks
that are considered: the incoming cpumask arg, cfg->domain and the
cpu_online_mask.  Since we are just introducing the cpu_mask_to_apicid_and
function, make sure it includes the cpu_online_mask in it's evaluation.
[Added with this patch.]

There are two io_apic.c functions that did not previously use the
cpu_online_mask:  setup_IO_APIC_irq and msi_compose_msg.  Both of these
simply used cpu_mask_to_apicid(cfg->domain & TARGET_CPUS), and all but
one arch (NUMAQ[*]) returns only online cpus in the TARGET_CPUS mask,
so the behavior is identical for all cases.

[*: NUMAQ bug?]

Note that alloc_cpumask_var is only used for the 32-bit cases where
it's highly likely that the cpumask set size will be small and therefore
CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n.  But if that's not the case, failing the allocate
will cause the same return value as the default.
