re-weight
Mike Galbraith reported poor interactivity[*] when the new shares distribution
code was combined with autogroups.
The root cause turns out to be a mis-ordering of accounting accrued execution
time and shares updates. Since update_curr() is issued hierarchically,
updating the parent entity weights to reflect child enqueue/dequeue results in
the parent's unaccounted execution time then being accrued (vs vruntime) at the
new weight as opposed to the weight present at accumulation.
While this doesn't have much effect on processes with timeslices that cross a
tick, it is particularly problematic for an interactive process (e.g. Xorg)
which incurs many (tiny) timeslices. In this scenario almost all updates are
at dequeue which can result in significant fairness perturbation (especially if
it is the only thread, resulting in potential {tg->shares, MIN_SHARES}
transitions).
Correct this by ensuring unaccounted time is accumulated prior to manipulating
an entity's weight.

Long running entities that do not block (dequeue) require periodic updates to
maintain accurate share values. (Note: group entities with several threads are
quite likely to be non-blocking in many circumstances).
By virtue of being long-running however, we will see entity ticks (otherwise
the required update occurs in dequeue/put and we are done). Thus we can move
the detection (and associated work) for these updates into the periodic path.
This restores the 'atomicity' of update_curr() with respect to accounting.

The AXI protocol specifies that the write response can only
be sent back to an AXI master when the last write data has been
accepted. This optimization enables the PL310 to send the write
response of certain write transactions as soon as the store buffer
accepts the write address. This behavior is not compatible with
the AXI protocol and is disabled by default. You enable this
optimization by setting the Early BRESP Enable bit in the
Auxiliary Control Register (bit [30]).

Clearing bit 22 in the PL310 Auxiliary Control register (shared
attribute override enable) has the side effect of transforming Normal
Shared Non-cacheable reads into Cacheable no-allocate reads.
Coherent DMA buffers in Linux always have a Cacheable alias via the
kernel linear mapping and the processor can speculatively load cache
lines into the PL310 controller. With bit 22 cleared, Non-cacheable
reads would unexpectedly hit such cache lines leading to buffer
corruption

Enabling L2 prefetching improves performance as shown on Panda
ES2.1 board with mem test, and it has measurable impact on
performances. I think we should consider it, even though it damages
"writes" a bit. (rebased to k.org)
Usually the prefetch is used at both levels together L1 + L2, however,
to enable the CP15 prefetch engines, these are under security, and on
GP devices, we cannot enable it(e.g. on PandaBoard). However, just
enabling PL310 prefetch seems to provide performance improvement,
as shown in the data below (from Ubuntu) and would be a great thing
to pull in.
What prefetch does is enable automatic next line prefetching. With this
enabled, whenever the PL310 receives a cachable read request, it
automatically prefetches the following cache line as well.

Currently the operations to increment vm counters must disable interrupts
in order to not mess up their housekeeping of counters.
So use this_cpu_cmpxchg() to avoid the overhead. Since we can no longer
count on preremption being disabled we still have some minor issues.
The fetching of the counter thresholds is racy.
A threshold from another cpu may be applied if we happen to be
rescheduled on another cpu. However, the following vmstat operation
will then bring the counter again under the threshold limit.
The operations for __xxx_zone_state are not changed since the caller
has taken care of the synchronization needs (and therefore the cycle
count is even less than the optimized version for the irq disable case
provided here).
The optimization using this_cpu_cmpxchg will only be used if the arch
supports efficient this_cpu_ops (must have CONFIG_CMPXCHG_LOCAL set!)
The use of this_cpu_cmpxchg reduces the cycle count for the counter
operations by %80 (inc_zone_page_state goes from 170 cycles to 32).

Use cmpxchg instead of xchg to realize this_cpu_xchg.
xchg will cause LOCK overhead since LOCK is always implied but cmpxchg
will not.
Baselines:
xchg() = 18 cycles (no segment prefix, LOCK semantics)
__this_cpu_xchg = 1 cycle
(simulated using this_cpu_read/write, two prefixes. Looks like the
cpu can use loop optimization to get rid of most of the overhead)
Cycles before:
this_cpu_xchg = 37 cycles (segment prefix and LOCK (implied by xchg))
After:
this_cpu_xchg = 11 cycle (using cmpxchg without lock semantics)

Generic code to provide new per cpu atomic features
this_cpu_cmpxchg
this_cpu_xchg
Fallback occurs to functions using interrupts disable/enable
to ensure correct per cpu atomicity.
Fallback to regular cmpxchg and xchg is not possible since per cpu atomic
semantics include the guarantee that the current cpus per cpu data is
accessed atomically. Use of regular cmpxchg and xchg requires the
determination of the address of the per cpu data before regular cmpxchg
or xchg which therefore cannot be atomically included in an xchg or
cmpxchg without segment override.
tj: - Relocated new ops to conform better to the general organization.
- This patch contains a trivial comment fix.

We should not be incrementing mm_users when we startup a secondary
CPU - doing so results in mm_users incrementing by one each time we
hotplug a CPU, which will eventually wrap, and will cause problems.
Other architectures such as x86 do not increment mm_users, but only
mm_count, so we follow that pattern.

The current tile rt_sigreturn() syscall pattern uses the common idiom
of loading up pt_regs with all the saved registers from the time of
the signal, then anticipating the fact that we will clobber the ABI
"return value" register (r0) as we return from the syscall by setting
the rt_sigreturn return value to whatever random value was in the pt_regs
for r0.
However, this breaks in our 64-bit kernel when running "compat" tasks,
since we always sign-extend the "return value" register to properly
handle returned pointers that are in the upper 2GB of the 32-bit compat
address space. Doing this to the sigreturn path then causes occasional
random corruption of the 64-bit r0 register.
Instead, we stop doing the crazy "load the return-value register"
hack in sigreturn. We already have some sigreturn-specific assembly
code that we use to pass the pt_regs pointer to C code. We extend that
code to also set the link register to point to a spot a few instructions
after the usual syscall return address so we don't clobber the saved r0.
Now it no longer matters what the rt_sigreturn syscall returns, and the
pt_regs structure can be cleanly and completely reloaded.

Previously we were just setting up the "tp" register in the
new task as started by clone() in libc. However, this is not
quite right, since in principle a signal might be delivered to
the new task before it had its TLS set up. (Of course, this race
window still exists for resetting the libc getpid() cached value
in the new task, in principle. But in any case, we are now doing
this exactly the way all other architectures do it.)
This change is important for 2.6.37 since the tile glibc we will
be submitting upstream will not set TLS in user space any more,
so it will only work on a kernel that has this fix. It should
also be taken for 2.6.36.x in the stable tree if possible.

If a device is reported as inactive or not present by its _STA
control method, acpi_bus_check_add() skips it without evaluating its
_PRW method. This leads to a problem when the device's _PRW method
points to a GPE, because in that case the GPE may be enabled by
ACPICA during the subsequent acpi_update_gpes() call which, in
turn, may cause a GPE storm to appear.
To avoid this issue, make acpi_bus_check_add() evaluate _PRW for
inactive or not present devices and register the wakeup GPE
information returned by them, so that acpi_update_gpes() does not
enable their GPEs unnecessarily.
