Manfred Spraul 99db46ea29 ipc: do cyclic id allocation for the ipc object.
For ipcmni_extend mode, the sequence number space is only 7 bits.  So
the chance of id reuse is relatively high compared with the non-extended
mode.

To alleviate this id reuse problem, this patch enables cyclic allocation
for the index to the radix tree (idx).  The disadvantage is that this
can cause a slight slow-down of the fast path, as the radix tree could
be higher than necessary.

To limit the radix tree height, I have chosen the following limits:
 1) The cycling is done over in_use*1.5.
 2) At least, the cycling is done over
   "normal" ipcnmi mode: RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE elements
   "ipcmni_extended": 4096 elements

Result:
- for normal mode:
	No change for <= 42 active ipc elements. With more than 42
	active ipc elements, a 2nd level would be added to the radix
	tree.
	Without cyclic allocation, a 2nd level would be added only with
	more than 63 active elements.

- for extended mode:
	Cycling creates always at least a 2-level radix tree.
	With more than 2730 active objects, a 3rd level would be
	added, instead of > 4095 active objects until the 3rd level
	is added without cyclic allocation.

For a 2-level radix tree compared to a 1-level radix tree, I have
observed < 1% performance impact.

Notes:
1) Normal "x=semget();y=semget();" is unaffected: Then the idx
  is e.g. a and a+1, regardless if idr_alloc() or idr_alloc_cyclic()
  is used.

2) The -1% happens in a microbenchmark after this situation:
	x=semget();
	for(i=0;i<4000;i++) {t=semget();semctl(t,0,IPC_RMID);}
	y=semget();
	Now perform semget calls on x and y that do not sleep.

3) The worst-case reuse cycle time is unfortunately unaffected:
   If you have 2^24-1 ipc objects allocated, and get/remove the last
   possible element in a loop, then the id is reused after 128
   get/remove pairs.

Performance check:
A microbenchmark that performes no-op semop() randomly on two IDs,
with only these two IDs allocated.
The IDs were set using /proc/sys/kernel/sem_next_id.
The test was run 5 times, averages are shown.

1 & 2: Base (6.22 seconds for 10.000.000 semops)
1 & 40: -0.2%
1 & 3348: - 0.8%
1 & 27348: - 1.6%
1 & 15777204: - 3.2%

Or: ~12.6 cpu cycles per additional radix tree level.
The cpu is an Intel I3-5010U. ~1300 cpu cycles/syscall is slower
than what I remember (spectre impact?).

V2 of the patch:
- use "min" and "max"
- use RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE * RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE instead of
	(2<<12).
