e2336f6e51 sched: Kill task_preempt_count()
task_preempt_count() is pointless if preemption counter is per-cpu,
currently this is x86 only. It is only valid if the task is not
running, and even in this case the only info it can provide is the
state of PREEMPT_ACTIVE bit.

Change its single caller to check p->on_rq instead, this should be
the same if p->state != TASK_RUNNING, and kill this helper.

ba1f14fbe7 sched: Remove PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED from generic code
While hunting a preemption issue with Alexander, Ben noticed that the
currently generic PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED stuff is horribly broken for
load-store architectures.

We currently rely on the IPI to fold TIF_NEED_RESCHED into
PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED, but when this IPI lands while we already have
a load for the preempt-count but before the store, the store will erase
the PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED change.

The current preempt-count only works on load-store archs because
interrupts are assumed to be completely balanced wrt their preempt_count
fiddling; the previous preempt_count load will match the preempt_count
state after the interrupt and therefore nothing gets lost.

This patch removes the PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED usage from generic code and
pushes it into x86 arch code; the generic code goes back to relying on
TIF_NEED_RESCHED.

Boot tested on x86_64 and compile tested on ppc64.

75f93fed50 sched: Revert need_resched() to look at TIF_NEED_RESCHED
Yuanhan reported a serious throughput regression in his pigz
benchmark. Using the ftrace patch I found that several idle
paths need more TLC before we can switch the generic
need_resched() over to preempt_need_resched.

The preemption paths benefit most from preempt_need_resched and
do indeed use it; all other need_resched() users don't really
care that much so reverting need_resched() back to
tif_need_resched() is the simple and safe solution.

1a338ac32c sched, x86: Optimize the preempt_schedule() call
Remove the bloat of the C calling convention out of the
preempt_enable() sites by creating an ASM wrapper which allows us to
do an asm("call ___preempt_schedule") instead.

bdb4380658 sched: Extract the basic add/sub preempt_count modifiers
Rewrite the preempt_count macros in order to extract the 3 basic
preempt_count value modifiers:

  __preempt_count_add()
  __preempt_count_sub()

and the new:

  __preempt_count_dec_and_test()

And since we're at it anyway, replace the unconventional
$op_preempt_count names with the more conventional preempt_count_$op.

Since these basic operators are equivalent to the previous _notrace()
variants, do away with the _notrace() versions.

0102874755 sched: Create more preempt_count accessors
We need a few special preempt_count accessors:
 - task_preempt_count() for when we're interested in the preemption
   count of another (non-running) task.
 - init_task_preempt_count() for properly initializing the preemption
   count.
 - init_idle_preempt_count() a special case of the above for the idle
   threads.

With these no generic code ever touches thread_info::preempt_count
anymore and architectures could choose to remove it.
