The sync argument rename to introduce WF_* broke stuff by missing a
local alias for an argument in __wake_up_common, fix it by using
the more descriptive wake_flags name.

This restores WF_SYNC propagation, which fixes wake_affine()
behaviour, which fixes pipe-test.

Avoid the cache buddies from biasing the time distribution away
from fork()ers. Normally the next buddy will be the preferred
scheduling target, but this makes fork()s prefer to run the new
child, whereas we prefer to run the parent, since that will

I suspect a feed-back loop between cpuidle and the aperf/mperf
cpu_power bits, where when we have idle C-states lower the ratio,
which leads to lower cpu_power and then less load, which generates
more idle time, etc..

APERF/MPERF support for cpu_power.

APERF/MPERF is arch defined to be a relative scale of work capacity
per logical cpu, this is assumed to include SMT and Turbo mode.

APERF/MPERF are specified to both reset to 0 when either counter
wraps, which is highly inconvenient, since that'll give a blimp
when that happens. The manual specifies writing 0 to the counters
after each read, but that's 1) too expensive, and 2) destroys the
possibility of sharing these counters with other users, so we live
with the blimp - the other existing user does too.

Peter pointed out that this is better done via newidle_idx,
not via LB_BIAS, newidle balancing should look for where
there is load _now_, not where there was load 2 ticks ago.

Worst-case latencies are improved as well as no buddies
means less vruntime spread. (as per prior lkml discussions)

This change improves kbuild-peak parallelism as well.

The problem with wake_idle() is that is doesn't respect things like
cpu_power, which means it doesn't deal well with SMT nor the recent
RT interaction.

To cure this, it needs to do what sched_balance_self() does, which
leads to the possibility of merging select_task_rq_fair() and
sched_balance_self().

Modify sched_balance_self() to:

  - update_shares() when walking up the domain tree,
    (it only called it for the top domain, but it should
     have done this anyway), which allows us to remove
    this ugly bit from try_to_wake_up().

  - do wake_affine() on the smallest domain that contains
    both this (the waking) and the prev (the wakee) cpu for
    WAKE invocations.

Then use the top-down balance steps it had to replace wake_idle().

This leads to the dissapearance of SD_WAKE_BALANCE and
SD_WAKE_IDLE_FAR, with SD_WAKE_IDLE replaced with SD_BALANCE_WAKE.

SD_WAKE_AFFINE needs SD_BALANCE_WAKE to be effective.

Touch all topology bits to replace the old with new SD flags --
platforms might need re-tuning, enabling SD_BALANCE_WAKE
conditionally on a NUMA distance seems like a good additional
feature, magny-core and small nehalem systems would want this
enabled, systems with slow interconnects would not.

We're going to want to drop rq->lock in try_to_wake_up() for a
longer period of time, however we also want to deal with concurrent
waking of the same task, which is currently handled by holding
rq->lock.

So introduce a new TASK state, namely TASK_WAKING, which indicates
someone is already waking the task (other wakers will fail p->state
& state).

We also keep preemption disabled over the whole ttwu().
