Reading /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/cpu*/domain0/flags mutliple times
with small reads causes oopses with slub corruption issues because the kfree is
free'ing an offset from a previous allocation. Fix this by adding in a new
pointer 'buf' for the allocation and kfree and use the temporary pointer tmp

During fast wakeup path, scheduler always check whether local or prev
cpus are good candidates for the task before looking for other cpus in
the domain. With commit b7a331615d25 ("sched/fair: Add asymmetric CPU
capacity wakeup scan") the heterogenous system gains a dedicated path
but doesn't try to reuse prev cpu whenever possible. If the previous
cpu is idle and belong to the LLC domain, we should check it 1st
before looking for another cpu because it stays one of the best
candidate and this also stabilizes task placement on the system.

This change aligns asymmetric path behavior with symmetric one and reduces
cases where the task migrates across all cpus of the sd_asym_cpucapacity
domains at wakeup.

This change does not impact normal EAS mode but only the overloaded case or
when EAS is not used.

- On hikey960 with performance governor (EAS disable)

./perf bench sched pipe -T -l 50000
             mainline           w/ patch
# migrations   999364                  0
ops/sec        149313(+/-0.28%)   182587(+/- 0.40) +22%

- On hikey with performance governor

./perf bench sched pipe -T -l 50000

ops/sec         47721(+/-0.76%)    47899(+/- 0.56) +0.4%

According to test on hikey, the patch doesn't impact symmetric system
compared to current implementation (only tested on arm64)

Also read the uclamped value of task's utilization at most twice instead
instead each time we compare task's utilization with cpu's capacity.

schbench shows latency increase for 95 percentile above since:
  commit 0b0695f2b34a ("sched/fair: Rework load_balance()")

Align the behavior of the load balancer with the wake up path, which tries
to select an idle CPU which belongs to the LLC for a waking task.

calculate_imbalance() will use nr_running instead of the spare
capacity when CPUs share resources (ie cache) at the domain level. This
will ensure a better spread of tasks on idle CPUs.

Running schbench on a hikey (8cores arm64) shows the problem:

<title>cpufreq: schedutil: Don't skip freq update if need_freq_update is set</title>

<id>23a881852f3eff6a7ba8d240b57de076763fdef9</id>
<content type='text'>
The cpufreq policy's frequency limits (min/max) can get changed at any
point of time, while schedutil is trying to update the next frequency.
Though the schedutil governor has necessary locking and support in place
to make sure we don't miss any of those updates, there is a corner case
where the governor will find that the CPU is already running at the
desired frequency and so may skip an update.

For example, consider that the CPU can run at 1 GHz, 1.2 GHz and 1.4 GHz
and is running at 1 GHz currently. Schedutil tries to update the
frequency to 1.2 GHz, during this time the policy limits get changed as
policy-&gt;min = 1.4 GHz. As schedutil (and cpufreq core) does clamp the
frequency at various instances, we will eventually set the frequency to
1.4 GHz, while we will save 1.2 GHz in sg_policy-&gt;next_freq.

Now lets say the policy limits get changed back at this time with
policy-&gt;min as 1 GHz. The next time schedutil is invoked by the
scheduler, we will reevaluate the next frequency (because
need_freq_update will get set due to limits change event) and lets say
we want to set the frequency to 1.2 GHz again. At this point
sugov_update_next_freq() will find the next_freq == current_freq and
will abort the update, while the CPU actually runs at 1.4 GHz.

Until now need_freq_update was used as a flag to indicate that the
policy's frequency limits have changed, and that we should consider the
new limits while reevaluating the next frequency.

This patch fixes the above mentioned issue by extending the purpose of
the need_freq_update flag. If this flag is set now, the schedutil
governor will not try to abort a frequency change even if next_freq ==
current_freq.

As similar behavior is required in the case of
CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS flag as well, need_freq_update will never be
set to false if that flag is set for the driver.

We also don't need to consider the need_freq_update flag in
sugov_update_single() anymore to handle the special case of busy CPU, as
we won't abort a frequency update anymore.

<content type='text'>
Because sugov_update_next_freq() may skip a frequency update even if
the need_freq_update flag has been set for the policy at hand, policy
limits updates may not take effect as expected.

For example, if the intel_pstate driver operates in the passive mode
with HWP enabled, it needs to update the HWP min and max limits when
the policy min and max limits change, respectively, but that may not
happen if the target frequency does not change along with the limit
at hand.  In particular, if the policy min is changed first, causing
the target frequency to be adjusted to it, and the policy max limit
is changed later to the same value, the HWP max limit will not be
updated to follow it as expected, because the target frequency is
still equal to the policy min limit and it will not change until
that limit is updated.

To address this issue, modify get_next_freq() to let the driver
callback run if the CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS cpufreq driver flag
is set regardless of whether or not the new frequency to set is
equal to the previous one.

Because sugov_update_next_freq() may skip a frequency update even if
the need_freq_update flag has been set for the policy at hand, policy
limits updates may not take effect as expected.

For example, if the intel_pstate driver operates in the passive mode
with HWP enabled, it needs to update the HWP min and max limits when
the policy min and max limits change, respectively, but that may not
happen if the target frequency does not change along with the limit
at hand.  In particular, if the policy min is changed first, causing
the target frequency to be adjusted to it, and the policy max limit
is changed later to the same value, the HWP max limit will not be
updated to follow it as expected, because the target frequency is
still equal to the policy min limit and it will not change until
that limit is updated.

To address this issue, modify get_next_freq() to let the driver
callback run if the CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS cpufreq driver flag
is set regardless of whether or not the new frequency to set is
equal to the previous one.

Use a more generic form for __section that requires quotes to avoid
complications with clang and gcc differences.

Remove the quote operator # from compiler_attributes.h __section macro.

Convert all unquoted __section(foo) uses to quoted __section("foo").
Also convert __attribute__((section("foo"))) uses to __section("foo")
even if the __attribute__ has multiple list entry forms.

Conversion done using the script at:

Pull more power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "First of all, the adaptive voltage scaling (AVS) drivers go to new
  platform-specific locations as planned (this part was reported to have
  merge conflicts against the new arm-soc updates in linux-next).

  In addition to that, there are some fixes (intel_idle, intel_pstate,
  RAPL, acpi_cpufreq), the addition of on/off notifiers and idle state
  accounting support to the generic power domains (genpd) code and some
  janitorial changes all over.

  Specifics:

   - Move the AVS drivers to new platform-specific locations and get rid
     of the drivers/power/avs directory (Ulf Hansson).

   - Add on/off notifiers and idle state accounting support to the
     generic power domains (genpd) framework (Ulf Hansson, Lina Iyer).

   - Ulf will maintain the PM domain part of cpuidle-psci (Ulf Hansson).

   - Make intel_idle disregard ACPI _CST if it cannot use the data
     returned by that method (Mel Gorman).

   - Modify intel_pstate to avoid leaving useless sysfs directory
     structure behind if it cannot be registered (Chen Yu).

   - Fix domain detection in the RAPL power capping driver and prevent
     it from failing to enumerate the Psys RAPL domain (Zhang Rui).

   - Allow acpi-cpufreq to use ACPI _PSD information with Family 19 and
     later AMD chips (Wei Huang).

   - Update the driver assumptions comment in intel_idle and fix a
     kerneldoc comment in the runtime PM framework (Alexander Monakov,
     Bean Huo).

   - Avoid unnecessary resets of the cached frequency in the schedutil
     cpufreq governor to reduce overhead (Wei Wang).

   - Clean up the cpufreq core a bit (Viresh Kumar).

   - Make assorted minor janitorial changes (Daniel Lezcano, Geert
     Uytterhoeven, Hubert Jasudowicz, Tom Rix).

   - Clean up and optimize the cpupower utility somewhat (Colin Ian
     King, Martin Kaistra)"
