f5a2e34375 clocksource: Allow clocksource select to skip current clocksource
Preparatory patch for clocksource unbind support.

Split out code from clocksource_select and modify it, so it skips the
current clocksource on request and tries to find a fallback
clocksource. Convert all existing users. No functional change.

ba919d1caa clocksource: Let timekeeping_notify return success/error
timekeeping_notify() can fail due cs->enable() failure. Though the
caller does not notice and happily keeps the wrong clocksource as the
current one.

Let the caller know about failure, so the current clocksource will be
shown correctly in sysfs.

5d33b883ae clocksource: Always verify highres capability
If a clocksource has a (wrong) high rating, but can't be used as a
timebase for oneshot tick mode, it is unconditionally selected even
when the system is already in oneshot tick mode. This causes full
system failure.

Verify the clocksource selection against the oneshot mode.

1be0c25da5 workqueue: don't perform NUMA-aware allocations on offline nodes in wq_numa_init()
wq_numa_init() builds per-node cpumasks which are later used to make
unbound workqueues NUMA-aware.  The cpumasks are allocated using
alloc_cpumask_var_node() for all possible nodes.  Unfortunately, on
machines with off-line nodes, this leads to NUMA-aware allocations on
existing bug offline nodes, which in turn triggers BUG in the memory
allocation code.

Fix it by using NUMA_NO_NODE for cpumask allocations for offline
nodes.

615ee5443f rcu: Don't allocate bootmem from rcu_init()
When rcu_init() is called we already have slab working, allocating
bootmem at that point results in warnings and an allocation from
slab.  This commit therefore changes alloc_bootmem_cpumask_var() to
alloc_cpumask_var() in rcu_bootup_announce_oddness(), which is called
from rcu_init().

cb65537ee1 Add wait_on_atomic_t() and wake_up_atomic_t()
Add wait_on_atomic_t() and wake_up_atomic_t() to indicate became-zero events on
atomic_t types.  This uses the bit-wake waitqueue table.  The key is set to a
value outside of the number of bits in a long so that wait_on_bit() won't be
woken up accidentally.

What I'm using this for is: in a following patch I add a counter to struct
fscache_cookie to count the number of outstanding operations that need access
to netfs data.  The way this works is:

 (1) When a cookie is allocated, the counter is initialised to 1.

 (2) When an operation wants to access netfs data, it calls atomic_inc_unless()
     to increment the counter before it does so.  If it was 0, then the counter
     isn't incremented, the operation isn't permitted to access the netfs data
     (which might by this point no longer exist) and the operation aborts in
     some appropriate manner.

 (3) When an operation finishes with the netfs data, it decrements the counter
     and if it reaches 0, calls wake_up_atomic_t() on it - the assumption being
     that it was the last blocker.

 (4) When a cookie is released, the counter is decremented and the releaser
     uses wait_on_atomic_t() to wait for the counter to become 0 - which should
     indicate no one is using the netfs data any longer.  The netfs data can
     then be destroyed.

There are some alternatives that I have thought of and that have been suggested
by Tejun Heo:

 (A) Using wait_on_bit() to wait on a bit in the counter.  This doesn't work
     because if that bit happens to be 0 then the wait won't happen - even if
     the counter is non-zero.

 (B) Using wait_on_bit() to wait on a flag elsewhere which is cleared when the
     counter reaches 0.  Such a flag would be redundant and would add
     complexity.

 (C) Adding a waitqueue to fscache_cookie - this would expand that struct by
     several words for an event that happens just once in each cookie's
     lifetime.  Further, cookies are generally per-file so there are likely to
     be a lot of them.

 (D) Similar to (C), but add a pointer to a waitqueue in the cookie instead of
     a waitqueue.  This would add single word per cookie and so would be less
     of an expansion - but still an expansion.

 (E) Adding a static waitqueue to the fscache module.  Generally this would be
     fine, but under certain circumstances many cookies will all get added at
     the same time (eg. NFS umount, cache withdrawal) thereby presenting
     scaling issues.  Note that the wait may be significant as disk I/O may be
     in progress.

So, I think reusing the wait_on_bit() waitqueue set is reasonable.  I don't
make much use of the waitqueue I need on a per-cookie basis, but sometimes I
have a huge flood of the cookies to deal with.

I also don't want to add a whole new set of global waitqueue tables
specifically for the dec-to-0 event if I can reuse the bit tables.

b4f711ee03 time: Revert ALWAYS_USE_PERSISTENT_CLOCK compile time optimizaitons
Kay Sievers noted that the ALWAYS_USE_PERSISTENT_CLOCK config,
which enables some minor compile time optimization to avoid
uncessary code in mostly the suspend/resume path could cause
problems for userland.

In particular, the dependency for RTC_HCTOSYS on
!ALWAYS_USE_PERSISTENT_CLOCK, which avoids setting the time
twice and simplifies suspend/resume, has the side effect
of causing the /sys/class/rtc/rtcN/hctosys flag to always be
zero, and this flag is commonly used by udev to setup the
/dev/rtc symlink to /dev/rtcN, which can cause pain for
older applications.

While the udev rules could use some work to be less fragile,
breaking userland should strongly be avoided. Additionally
the compile time optimizations are fairly minor, and the code
being optimized is likely to be reworked in the future, so
lets revert this change.

fa3ca07e96 cgroup: refactor hierarchy_id handling
We're planning to converting hierarchy_ida to an idr and use it to
look up hierarchy from its id.  As we want the mapping to happen
atomically with cgroupfs_root registration, this patch refactors
hierarchy_id init / exit so that ida operations happen inside
cgroup_[root_]mutex.

* s/init_root_id()/cgroup_init_root_id()/ and make it return 0 or
  -errno like a normal function.

* Move hierarchy_id initialization from cgroup_root_from_opts() into
  cgroup_mount() block where the root is confirmed to be used and
  being registered while holding both mutexes.

* Split cgroup_drop_id() into cgroup_exit_root_id() and
  cgroup_free_root(), so that ID release can happen before dropping
  the mutexes in cgroup_kill_sb().  The latter expects hierarchy_id to
  be exited before being invoked.

6faf72834d rcu: Fix comparison sense in rcu_needs_cpu()
Commit c0f4dfd4f (rcu: Make RCU_FAST_NO_HZ take advantage of numbered
callbacks) introduced a bug that can result in excessively long grace
periods.  This bug reverse the senes of the "if" statement checking
for lazy callbacks, so that RCU takes a lazy approach when there are
in fact non-lazy callbacks.  This can result in excessive boot, suspend,
and resume times.

This commit therefore fixes the sense of this "if" statement.

0668106ca3 workqueue: Add system wide power_efficient workqueues
This patch adds system wide workqueues aligned towards power saving. This is
done by allocating them with WQ_UNBOUND flag if 'wq_power_efficient' is set to
'true'.

tj: updated comments a bit.

cee22a1505 workqueues: Introduce new flag WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT for power oriented workqueues
Workqueues can be performance or power-oriented. Currently, most workqueues are
bound to the CPU they were created on. This gives good performance (due to cache
effects) at the cost of potentially waking up otherwise idle cores (Idle from
scheduler's perspective. Which may or may not be physically idle) just to
process some work. To save power, we can allow the work to be rescheduled on a
core that is already awake.

Workqueues created with the WQ_UNBOUND flag will allow some power savings.
However, we don't change the default behaviour of the system.  To enable
power-saving behaviour, a new config option CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT needs to
be turned on. This option can also be overridden by the
workqueue.power_efficient boot parameter.

tj: Updated config description and comments.  Renamed
    CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT to CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT_DEFAULT.
