A work is linked to the next one by having WORK_STRUCT_LINKED bit set
and these links can be chained. When a linked work is dispatched to a
worker, all linked works are dispatched to the worker's newly added
->scheduled queue and processed back-to-back.
Currently, as there's only single worker per cwq, having linked works
doesn't make any visible behavior difference. This change is to
prepare for multiple shared workers per cpu.

Separate out worker thread related information to struct worker from
struct cpu_workqueue_struct and implement helper functions to deal
with the new struct worker. The only change which is visible outside
is that now workqueue worker are all named "kworker/CPUID:WORKERID"
where WORKERID is allocated from per-cpu ida.
This is in preparation of concurrency managed workqueue where shared
multiple workers would be available per cpu.

Reimplement workqueue flushing using color coded works. wq has the
current work color which is painted on the works being issued via
cwqs. Flushing a workqueue is achieved by advancing the current work
colors of cwqs and waiting for all the works which have any of the
previous colors to drain.
Currently there are 16 possible colors, one is reserved for no color
and 15 colors are useable allowing 14 concurrent flushes. When color
space gets full, flush attempts are batched up and processed together
when color frees up, so even with many concurrent flushers, the new
implementation won't build up huge queue of flushers which has to be
processed one after another.
Only works which are queued via __queue_work() are colored. Works
which are directly put on queue using insert_work() use NO_COLOR and
don't participate in workqueue flushing. Currently only works used
for work-specific flush fall in this category.
This new implementation leaves only cleanup_workqueue_thread() as the
user of flush_cpu_workqueue(). Just make its users use
flush_workqueue() and kthread_stop() directly and kill
cleanup_workqueue_thread(). As workqueue flushing doesn't use barrier
request anymore, the comment describing the complex synchronization
around it in cleanup_workqueue_thread() is removed together with the
function.
This new implementation is to allow having and sharing multiple
workers per cpu.
Please note that one more bit is reserved for a future work flag by
this patch. This is to avoid shifting bits and updating comments
later.

work->data field is used for two purposes. It points to cwq it's
queued on and the lower bits are used for flags. Currently, two bits
are reserved which is always safe as 4 byte alignment is guaranteed on
every architecture. However, future changes will need more flag bits.
On SMP, the percpu allocator is capable of honoring larger alignment
(there are other users which depend on it) and larger alignment works
just fine. On UP, percpu allocator is a thin wrapper around
kzalloc/kfree() and don't honor alignment request.
This patch introduces WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS and implements
alloc/free_cwqs() which guarantees max(1 << WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS,
__alignof__(unsigned long long) alignment both on SMP and UP. On SMP,
simply wrapping percpu allocator is enough. On UP, extra space is
allocated so that cwq can be aligned and the original pointer can be
stored after it which is used in the free path.
* Alignment problem on UP is reported by Michal Simek.

Worker management is about to be overhauled. Simplify things by
removing cpu_populated_map, creating workers for all possible cpus and
making single threaded workqueues behave more like multi threaded
ones.
After this patch, all cwqs are always initialized, all workqueues are
linked on the workqueues list and workers for all possibles cpus
always exist. This also makes CPU hotplug support simpler - checking
->cpus_allowed before processing works in worker_thread() and flushing
cwqs on CPU_POST_DEAD are enough.
While at it, make get_cwq() always return the cwq for the specified
cpu, add target_cwq() for cases where single thread distinction is
necessary and drop all direct usage of per_cpu_ptr() on wq->cpu_wq.

Work flags are about to see more traditional mask handling. Define
WORK_STRUCT_*_BIT as the bit position constant and redefine
WORK_STRUCT_* as bit masks. Also, make WORK_STRUCT_STATIC_* flags
conditional
While at it, re-define these constants as enums and use
WORK_STRUCT_STATIC instead of hard-coding 2 in
WORK_DATA_STATIC_INIT().

Make the following updates in preparation of concurrency managed
workqueue. None of these changes causes any visible behavior
difference.
* Add comments and adjust indentations to data structures and several
functions.
* Rename wq_per_cpu() to get_cwq() and swap the position of two
parameters for consistency. Convert a direct per_cpu_ptr() access
to wq->cpu_wq to get_cwq().
* Add work_static() and Update set_wq_data() such that it sets the
flags part to WORK_STRUCT_PENDING | WORK_STRUCT_STATIC if static |
@extra_flags.
* Move santiy check on work->entry emptiness from queue_work_on() to
__queue_work() which all queueing paths share.
* Make __queue_work() take @cpu and @wq instead of @cwq.
* Restructure flush_work() and __create_workqueue_key() to make them
easier to modify.

ACPI works need to be executed on cpu0 and acpi/osl.c achieves this by
creating singlethread workqueue and then binding it to cpu0 from a
work which is quite unorthodox. Make it create regular workqueues and
use queue_work_on() instead. This is in preparation of concurrency
managed workqueue and the extra workers won't be a problem after it's
implemented.

Upcoming workqueue updates will no longer guarantee fixed workqueue to
worker kthread association, so giving RT priority to the irq worker
won't work. Use kthread_worker which guarantees specific kthread
association instead. This also makes setting the priority cleaner.

Implement simple work processor for kthread. This is to ease using
kthread. Single thread workqueue used to be used for things like this
but workqueue won't guarantee fixed kthread association anymore to
enable worker sharing.
This can be used in cases where specific kthread association is
necessary, for example, when it should have RT priority or be assigned
to certain cgroup.

Revert "PCI: create function symlinks in /sys/bus/pci/slots/N/"
PCI: change resource collision messages from KERN_ERR to KERN_INFO
Yannick found that video does not work with 2.6.34. The cause of this
bug was that the BIOS had assigned the wrong range to the PCI bridge
above the video device. Before 2.6.34 the kernel would have shrunk
the size of the bridge window, but since
d65245c PCI: don't shrink bridge resources
the kernel will avoid shrinking BIOS ranges.
So zero out the old range if we fail to claim it at boot time; this will
cause us to allocate a new range at startup, restoring the 2.6.34
behavior.
Fixes regression https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16009.
