sched: prefer wakers
Prefer tasks that wake other tasks to preempt quickly. This improves
performance because more work is available sooner.
The workload that prompted this patch was a kernel build over NFS4 (for some
curious and not understood reason we had to revert commit: 18de9735300756e3ca9c361ef58409d8561dfe0d to make any progress at all)
Without this patch a make -j8 bzImage (of x86-64 defconfig) would take
3m30-ish, with this patch we're down to 2m50-ish.
psql-sysbench/mysql-sysbench show a slight improvement in peak performance as
well, tbench and vmark seemed to not care.
It is possible to improve upon the build time (to 2m20-ish) but that seriously
destroys other benchmarks (just shows that there's more room for tinkering).
Much thanks to Mike who put in a lot of effort to benchmark things and proved
a worthy opponent with a competing patch.

sound: virtuoso: do not overwrite EEPROM on Xonar D2/D2X
On the Asus Xonar D2 and D2X models, the SPI chip select signal for the
fourth DAC shares its pin with the serial clock for the EEPROM that
contains the PCI subdevice ID values. It appears that when DAC
registers are written and some other unknown conditions occur (probably
noise on the EEPROM's chip select line), the EEPROM gets overwritten
with garbage, which makes it impossible to properly detect the card
later.
Therefore, we better avoid DAC register writes and make sure that the
driver works with the DAC's registers' default values. Consequently,
the sample format is now I2S instead of left-justified (no user-visible
change), and the DAC's volume/mute registers cannot be used anymore
(volume changes are now done by the software volume plugin).

tracing/function-graph-tracer: fix a regression while suspend to disk
Impact: fix a crash while kernel image restore
When the function graph tracer is running and while suspend to disk, some racy
and dangerous things happen against this tracer.
The current task will save its registers including the stack pointer which
contains the return address hooked by the tracer. But the current task will
continue to enter other functions after that to save the memory, and then
it will store other return addresses, and finally loose the old depth which
matches the return address saved in the old stack (during the registers saving).
So on image restore, the code will return to wrong addresses.
And there are other things: on restore, the task will have it's "current"
pointer overwritten during registers restoring....switching from one task to
another... That would be insane to try to trace function graphs at these
stages.
This patch makes the function graph tracer listening on power events, making
it's tracing disabled for the current task (the one that performs the
hibernation work) while suspend/resume to disk, making the tracing safe
during hibernation.

Fix this by having the child interface creation/deletion code take the

Restart the request queue early for REQ_TYPE_PM_RESUME requests
(though there is only one resume request for the whole resume
sequence it stays in the queue until is fully completed and now
depends on kblockd for processing consequential resume states).

ide: fix accidental LOCKDEP breakage caused by local_irq_set() removal
commit 54cc1428cfa619e16d75baae8cb041a2eff015f0 ("ide: remove
local_irq_set() macro") accidentally replaced local_save_flags()
by local_irq_set() in ide_probe_port() and __ide_wait_stat()
which resulted in LOCKDEP breakage.

Spin more agressively. This is less fair but also markedly faster.

mutex: implement adaptive spinning
Change mutex contention behaviour such that it will sometimes busy wait on
acquisition - moving its behaviour closer to that of spinlocks.
This concept got ported to mainline from the -rt tree, where it was originally
implemented for rtmutexes by Steven Rostedt, based on work by Gregory Haskins.
Testing with Ingo's test-mutex application (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/8/50)
gave a 345% boost for VFS scalability on my testbox:
The key criteria for the busy wait is that the lock owner has to be running on
a (different) cpu. The idea is that as long as the owner is running, there is a
fair chance it'll release the lock soon, and thus we'll be better off spinning
instead of blocking/scheduling.
Since regular mutexes (as opposed to rtmutexes) do not atomically track the
owner, we add the owner in a non-atomic fashion and deal with the races in
the slowpath.
Furthermore, to ease the testing of the performance impact of this new code,
there is means to disable this behaviour runtime (without having to reboot
the system), when scheduler debugging is enabled (CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG=y),
by issuing the following command:
# echo NO_OWNER_SPIN > /debug/sched_features
This command re-enables spinning again (this is also the default):
# echo OWNER_SPIN > /debug/sched_features

mutex: preemption fixes
The problem is that dropping the spinlock right before schedule is a voluntary
preemption point and can cause a schedule, right after which we schedule again.
Fix this inefficiency by keeping preemption disabled until we schedule, do this
by explicity disabling preemption and providing a schedule() variant that
assumes preemption is already disabled.

mm: fix assertion
This assertion is incorrect for lockless pagecache. By definition if we
have an unpinned page that we are trying to take a speculative reference
to, it may become the tail of a compound page at any time (if it is
freed, then reallocated as a compound page).
It was still a valid assertion for the vmscan.c LRU isolation case, but
it doesn't seem incredibly helpful... if somebody wants it, they can
put it back directly where it applies in the vmscan code.
