rtl8187: Fix crash on unload when using SLUB debug

After the code was modified to use urb anchors ("rtl8187: Use usb anchor
facilities to manage urbs"), rtl8187 began generating an intermittent GPF
on shutdown when using SLUB with debugging enabled. Furthermore, rebooting
the system with a ping running caused a GPF every time. There are two problems:

sched: add SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE at MC and CPU level for sched_mc>0
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.
This patch selectively enables SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE flag
only when sched_mc is set to 1 or 2. This helps power savings
by task consolidation and also does not hurt performance at
sched_mc=0 where all power saving optimisations are turned off.
sched: activate active load balancing in new idle cpus
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.
sched: bias task wakeups to preferred semi-idle packages
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.
sched: favour lower logical cpu number for sched_mc balance
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,

This patch extends the behaviour of the variable from boolean to

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

Impact: fix wrong cache sharing detection on platforms supporting > 8 bit apicid's
In the presence of extended topology eumeration leaf 0xb provided
by cpuid, 32bit extended initial_apicid in cpuinfo_x86 struct will be
updated by detect_extended_topology(). At this instance, we should also
reinit the apicid (which could also potentially be extended to 32bit).
With out this there will potentially be duplicate apicid's populated in the
per cpu's cpuinfo_x86 struct, resulting in wrong cache sharing topology etc
detected by init_intel_cacheinfo().

ALSA: hda - Add no-jd model for IDT 92HD73xx
Added the model without the jack-detection for some desktops that
have really no jack-detection. The recent driver caused regressions
regarding the sound output on such machines.
