Some architectures (such as Alpha) rely on include/linux/sched.h definitions
in their mmu_context.h files.
So include sched.h before mmu_context.h.

The finish_arch_post_lock_switch is called at the end of the task
switch after all locks have been released. In concept it is paired
with the switch_mm function, but the current code only does the
call in finish_task_switch. Add the call to idle_task_exit and
use_mm. One use case for the additional calls is s390 which will
use finish_arch_post_lock_switch to wait for the completion of
TLB flush operations.

Bunch of performance improvements and cleanups Zach Brown and I have
been working on. The code should be pretty solid at this point, though
it could of course use more review and testing.
The results in my testing are pretty impressive, particularly when an
ioctx is being shared between multiple threads. In my crappy synthetic
benchmark, with 4 threads submitting and one thread reaping completions,
I saw overhead in the aio code go from ~50% (mostly ioctx lock
contention) to low single digits. Performance with ioctx per thread
improved too, but I'd have to rerun those benchmarks.
The reason I've been focused on performance when the ioctx is shared is
that for a fair number of real world completions, userspace needs the
completions aggregated somehow - in practice people just end up
implementing this aggregation in userspace today, but if it's done right
we can do it much more efficiently in the kernel.
Performance wise, the end result of this patch series is that submitting
a kiocb writes to _no_ shared cachelines - the penalty for sharing an
ioctx is gone there. There's still going to be some cacheline
contention when we deliver the completions to the aio ringbuffer (at
least if you have interrupts being delivered on multiple cores, which
for high end stuff you do) but I have a couple more patches not in this
series that implement coalescing for that (by taking advantage of
interrupt coalescing). With that, there's basically no bottlenecks or
performance issues to speak of in the aio code.
This patch:
use_mm() is used in more places than just aio. There's no need to mention
callers when describing the function.

sync_mm_rss() can only be used for current to avoid race conditions in
iterating and clearing its per-task counters. Remove the task argument
for it and its helper function, __sync_task_rss_stat(), to avoid thinking
it can be used safely for anything other than current.

The files changed within are only using the EXPORT_SYMBOL
macro variants. They are not using core modular infrastructure
and hence don't need module.h but only the export.h header.

In 2.6.34-rc1, removing vhost_net module causes an oops in sync_mm_rss
(called from do_exit) when workqueue is destroyed. This does not happen
on net-next, or with vhost on top of to 2.6.33.
The issue seems to be introduced by
34e55232e59f7b19050267a05ff1226e5cd122a5 ("mm: avoid false sharing of
mm_counter) which added sync_mm_rss() that is passed task->mm, and
dereferences it without checking. If task is a kernel thread, mm might be
NULL. I think this might also happen e.g. with aio.
This patch fixes the oops by calling sync_mm_rss when task->mm is set to
NULL. I also added BUG_ON to detect any other cases where counters get
incremented while mm is NULL.
The oops I observed looks like this:

Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed!
(note: handle_rx_net is a work item using workqueue in question).
sync_mm_rss+0x33/0x6f gave me a hint. I also tried reverting
34e55232e59f7b19050267a05ff1226e5cd122a5 and the oops goes away.
The module in question calls use_mm and later unuse_mm from a kernel
thread. It is when this kernel thread is destroyed that the crash
happens.

When the mm being switched to matches the active mm, we don't need to
increment and then drop the mm count. In a simple benchmark this happens
in about 50% of time. Making that conditional reduces contention on that
cacheline on SMP systems.

Anyone who wants to do copy to/from user from a kernel thread, needs
use_mm (like what fs/aio has). Move that into mm/, to make reusing and
exporting easier down the line, and make aio use it. Next intended user,
besides aio, will be vhost-net.
