      smpboot/threads, watchdog/core: Avoid runtime allocation · 0d85923c
      Thomas Gleixner authored
      
      smpboot_update_cpumask_threads_percpu() allocates a temporary cpumask at
      runtime. This is suboptimal because the call site needs more code size for
      proper error handling than a statically allocated temporary mask requires
      data size.
      
      Add static temporary cpumask. The function is globaly serialized, so no
      further protection required.
      
      Remove the half baken error handling in the watchdog code and get rid of
      the export as there are no in tree modular users of that function.

      kthread/smpboot: do not park in kthread_create_on_cpu() · a65d4096
      Petr Mladek authored
      kthread_create_on_cpu() was added by the commit 2a1d4460
      ("kthread: Implement park/unpark facility").  It is currently used only
      when enabling new CPU.  For this purpose, the newly created kthread has to
      be parked.
      
      The CPU binding is a bit tricky.  The kthread is parked when the CPU has
      not been allowed yet.  And the CPU is bound when the kthread is unparked.
      
      The function would be useful for more per-CPU kthreads, e.g.
      bnx2fc_thread, fcoethread.  For this purpose, the newly created kthread
      should stay in the uninterruptible state.
      
      This patch moves the parking into smpboot.  It binds the thread already
      when created.  Then the function might be used universally.  Also the
      behavior is consistent with kthread_create() and kthread_create_on_node().

      stop_machine: Kill smp_hotplug_thread->pre_unpark, introduce stop_machine_unpark() · c00166d8
      Oleg Nesterov authored
      
      1. Change smpboot_unpark_thread() to check ->selfparking, just
         like smpboot_park_thread() does.
      
      2. Introduce stop_machine_unpark() which sets ->enabled and calls
         kthread_unpark().
      
      3. Change smpboot_thread_call() and cpu_stop_init() to call
         stop_machine_unpark() by hand.
      
      This way:
      
          - IMO the ->selfparking logic becomes more consistent.
      
          - We can kill the smp_hotplug_thread->pre_unpark() method.
      
          - We can easily unpark the stopper thread earlier. Say, we
            can move stop_machine_unpark() from smpboot_thread_call()
            to sched_cpu_active() as Peter suggests.

      watchdog: add watchdog_cpumask sysctl to assist nohz · fe4ba3c3
      Chris Metcalf authored
      
      Change the default behavior of watchdog so it only runs on the
      housekeeping cores when nohz_full is enabled at build and boot time.
      Allow modifying the set of cores the watchdog is currently running on
      with a new kernel.watchdog_cpumask sysctl.
      
      In the current system, the watchdog subsystem runs a periodic timer that
      schedules the watchdog kthread to run.  However, nohz_full cores are
      designed to allow userspace application code running on those cores to
      have 100% access to the CPU.  So the watchdog system prevents the
      nohz_full application code from being able to run the way it wants to,
      thus the motivation to suppress the watchdog on nohz_full cores, which
      this patchset provides by default.
      
      However, if we disable the watchdog globally, then the housekeeping
      cores can't benefit from the watchdog functionality.  So we allow
      disabling it only on some cores.  See Documentation/lockup-watchdogs.txt
      for more information.

      smpboot: allow excluding cpus from the smpboot threads · b5242e98
      Chris Metcalf authored
      
      This patch series allows the watchdog to run by default only on the
      housekeeping cores when nohz_full is in effect; this seems to be a good
      compromise short of turning it off completely (since the nohz_full cores
      can't tolerate a watchdog).
      
      To provide customizability, we add /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog_cpumask so
      that the set of cores running the watchdog can be tuned to different
      values after bootup.
      
      To implement this customizability, we add a new
      smpboot_update_cpumask_percpu_thread() API to the smpboot_thread
      subsystem that lets us park or unpark "unwanted" threads.
      
      And now that threads can be parked for long periods of time, we tweak the
      /proc/<pid>/stat and /proc/<pid>/status code so parked threads aren't
      reported as running, which is otherwise confusing.
      
      This patch (of 3):
      
      This change allows some cores to be excluded from running the
      smp_hotplug_thread tasks.  The following commit to update
      kernel/watchdog.c to use this functionality is the motivating example, and
      more information on the motivation is provided there.
      
      A new smp_hotplug_thread field is introduced, "cpumask", which is cpumask
      field managed by the smpboot subsystem that indicates whether or not the
      given smp_hotplug_thread should run on that core; the cpumask is checked
      when deciding whether to unpark the thread.
      
      To limit the cpumask to less than cpu_possible, you must call
      smpboot_update_cpumask_percpu_thread() after registering.

      smpboot: Add common code for notification from dying CPU · 8038dad7
      Paul E. McKenney authored
      RCU ignores offlined CPUs, so they cannot safely run RCU read-side code.
      (They -can- use SRCU, but not RCU.)  This means that any use of RCU
      during or after the call to arch_cpu_idle_dead().  Unfortunately,
      commit 2ed53c0d
      
       added a complete() call, which will contain RCU
      read-side critical sections if there is a task waiting to be awakened.
      
      Which, as it turns out, there almost never is.  In my qemu/KVM testing,
      the to-be-awakened task is not yet asleep more than 99.5% of the time.
      In current mainline, failure is even harder to reproduce, requiring a
      virtualized environment that delays the outgoing CPU by at least three
      jiffies between the time it exits its stop_machine() task at CPU_DYING
      time and the time it calls arch_cpu_idle_dead() from the idle loop.
      However, this problem really can occur, especially in virtualized
      environments, and therefore really does need to be fixed
      
      This suggests moving back to the polling loop, but using a much shorter
      wait, with gentle exponential backoff instead of the old 100-millisecond
      wait.  Most of the time, the loop will exit without waiting at all,
      and almost all of the remaining uses will wait only five microseconds.
      If the outgoing CPU is preempted, a loop will wait one jiffy, then
      increase the wait by a factor of 11/10ths, rounding up.  As before, there
      is a five-second timeout.
      
      This commit therefore provides common-code infrastructure to do the
      dying-to-surviving CPU handoff in a safe manner.  This code also
      provides an indication at CPU-online of whether the CPU to be onlined
      previously timed out on offline.  The new cpu_check_up_prepare() function
      returns -EBUSY if this CPU previously took more than five seconds to
      go offline, or -EAGAIN if it has not yet managed to go offline.  The
      rationale for -EAGAIN is that it might still be preempted, so an additional
      wait might well find it correctly offlined.  Architecture-specific code
      can decide how to handle these conditions.  Systems in which CPUs take
      themselves completely offline might respond to an -EBUSY return as if
      it was a zero (success) return.  Systems in which the surviving CPU must
      take some action might take it at this time, or might simply mark the
      other CPU as unusable.
      
      Note that architectures that take the easy way out and simply pass the
      -EBUSY and -EAGAIN upwards will change the sysfs API.

      smpboot: Add missing get_online_cpus() in smpboot_register_percpu_thread() · 4bee9686
      Lai Jiangshan authored
      
      The following race exists in the smpboot percpu threads management:
      
      CPU0	      	   	     CPU1
      cpu_up(2)
        get_online_cpus();
        smpboot_create_threads(2);
      			     smpboot_register_percpu_thread();
      			     for_each_online_cpu();
      			       __smpboot_create_thread();
        __cpu_up(2);
      
      This results in a missing per cpu thread for the newly onlined cpu2 and
      in a NULL pointer dereference on a consecutive offline of that cpu.
      
      Proctect smpboot_register_percpu_thread() with get_online_cpus() to
      prevent that.
      
      [ tglx: Massaged changelog and removed the change in
              smpboot_unregister_percpu_thread() because that's an

      kernel: delete __cpuinit usage from all core kernel files · 0db0628d
      Paul Gortmaker authored
      The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
      some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
      do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
      commit 5e427ec2 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
      is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
      with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
      
      After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
      the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
      we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
      
      This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in
      the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include)
      that don't really have a specific maintainer.

      kthread: Prevent unpark race which puts threads on the wrong cpu · f2530dc7
      Thomas Gleixner authored
      
      The smpboot threads rely on the park/unpark mechanism which binds per
      cpu threads on a particular core. Though the functionality is racy:
      
      CPU0	       	 	CPU1  	     	    CPU2
      unpark(T)				    wake_up_process(T)
        clear(SHOULD_PARK)	T runs
      			leave parkme() due to !SHOULD_PARK  
        bind_to(CPU2)		BUG_ON(wrong CPU)						    
      
      We cannot let the tasks move themself to the target CPU as one of
      those tasks is actually the migration thread itself, which requires
      that it starts running on the target cpu right away.
      
      The solution to this problem is to prevent wakeups in park mode which
      are not from unpark(). That way we can guarantee that the association
      of the task to the target cpu is working correctly.
      
      Add a new task state (TASK_PARKED) which prevents other wakeups and
      use this state explicitly for the unpark wakeup.
      
      Peter noticed: Also, since the task state is visible to userspace and
      all the parked tasks are still in the PID space, its a good hint in ps
      and friends that these tasks aren't really there for the moment.
      
      The migration thread has another related issue.
      
      CPU0	      	     	 CPU1
      Bring up CPU2
      create_thread(T)
      park(T)
       wait_for_completion()
      			 parkme()
      			 complete()
      sched_set_stop_task()
      			 schedule(TASK_PARKED)
      
      The sched_set_stop_task() call is issued while the task is on the
      runqueue of CPU1 and that confuses the hell out of the stop_task class
      on that cpu. So we need the same synchronizaion before
      sched_set_stop_task().

      hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators · b67bfe0d
      Sasha Levin authored
      I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived
      
              list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)
      
      The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:
      
              hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)
      
      Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
      they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
      exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.
      
      Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:
      
       - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
       - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
       - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
       was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
       - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
       properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.
      
      The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

      stop_machine: Mark per cpu stopper enabled early · 46c498c2
      Thomas Gleixner authored
      commit 14e568e7
      
       (stop_machine: Use smpboot threads) introduced the
      following regression:
      
      Before this commit the stopper enabled bit was set in the online
      notifier.
      
      CPU0				CPU1
      cpu_up
      				cpu online
      hotplug_notifier(ONLINE)
        stopper(CPU1)->enabled = true;
      ...
      stop_machine()
      
      The conversion to smpboot threads moved the enablement to the wakeup
      path of the parked thread. The majority of users seem to have the
      following working order:
      
      CPU0				CPU1
      cpu_up
      				cpu online
      unpark_threads()
        wakeup(stopper[CPU1])
      ....
      				stopper thread runs
      				  stopper(CPU1)->enabled = true;
      stop_machine()
      
      But Konrad and Sander have observed:
      
      CPU0				CPU1
      cpu_up
      				cpu online
      unpark_threads()
        wakeup(stopper[CPU1])
      ....
      stop_machine()
      				stopper thread runs
      				  stopper(CPU1)->enabled = true;
      
      Now the stop machinery kicks CPU0 into the stop loop, where it gets
      stuck forever because the queue code saw stopper(CPU1)->enabled ==
      false, so CPU0 waits for CPU1 to enter stomp_machine, but the CPU1
      stopper work got discarded due to enabled == false.
      
      Add a pre_unpark function to the smpboot thread descriptor and call it
      before waking the thread.
      
      This fixes the problem at hand, but the stop_machine code should be
      more robust. The stopper->enabled flag smells fishy at best.
      
      Thanks to Konrad for going through a loop of debug patches and
      providing the information to decode this issue.

      smpboot: Allow selfparking per cpu threads · 7d7e499f
      Thomas Gleixner authored
      
      The stop machine threads are still killed when a cpu goes offline. The
      reason is that the thread is used to bring the cpu down, so it can't
      be parked along with the other per cpu threads.
      
      Allow a per cpu thread to be excluded from automatic parking, so it
      can park itself once it's done
      
      Add a create callback function as well.

      smp: Provide generic idle thread allocation · 29d5e047
      Thomas Gleixner authored
      
      All SMP architectures have magic to fork the idle task and to store it
      for reusage when cpu hotplug is enabled. Provide a generic
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Create/reinit the idle thread for the cpu which is brought up in the
      generic code and hand the thread pointer to the architecture code via
      __cpu_up().
      
      Note, that fork_idle() is called via a workqueue, because this
      guarantees that the idle thread does not get a reference to a user
      space VM. This can happen when the boot process did not bring up all
      possible cpus and a later cpu_up() is initiated via the sysfs
      interface. In that case fork_idle() would be called in the context of
      the user space task and take a reference on the user space VM.
