96c1fa04f0 tick/rcu: Fix false positive "softirq work is pending" messages
In commit 0345691b24 ("tick/rcu: Stop allowing RCU_SOFTIRQ in idle") the
new function report_idle_softirq() was created by breaking code out of the
existing can_stop_idle_tick() for kernels v5.18 and newer.

In doing so, the code essentially went from a one conditional:

	if (a && b && c)
		warn();

to a three conditional:

	if (!a)
		return;
	if (!b)
		return;
	if (!c)
		return;
	warn();

But that conversion got the condition for the RT specific
local_bh_blocked() wrong. The original condition was:

   	!local_bh_blocked()

but the conversion failed to negate it so it ended up as:

        if (!local_bh_blocked())
		return false;

This issue lay dormant until another fixup for the same commit was added
in commit a7e282c777 ("tick/rcu: Fix bogus ratelimit condition").
This commit realized the ratelimit was essentially set to zero instead
of ten, and hence *no* softirq pending messages would ever be issued.

Once this commit was backported via linux-stable, both the v6.1 and v6.4
preempt-rt kernels started printing out 10 instances of this at boot:

  NOHZ tick-stop error: local softirq work is pending, handler #80!!!

Remove the negation and return when local_bh_blocked() evaluates to true to
bring the correct behaviour back.

a547c4ce10 kunit: time: Mark test as slow using test attributes
Mark the time KUnit test, time64_to_tm_test_date_range, as slow using test
attributes.

This test ran relatively much slower than most other KUnit tests.

By marking this test as slow, the test can now be filtered using the KUnit
test attribute filtering feature. Example: --filter "speed>slow". This will
run only the tests that have speeds faster than slow. The slow attribute
will also be outputted in KTAP.

e40806e9bc clocksource: Handle negative skews in "skew is too large" messages
The nanosecond-to-millisecond skew computation uses unsigned arithmetic,
which produces user-unfriendly large positive numbers for negative skews.
Therefore, use signed arithmetic for this computation in order to preserve
the negativity.

Pull hardening updates from Kees Cook:
 "There are three areas of note:

  A bunch of strlcpy()->strscpy() conversions ended up living in my tree
  since they were either Acked by maintainers for me to carry, or got
  ignored for multiple weeks (and were trivial changes).

  The compiler option '-fstrict-flex-arrays=3' has been enabled
  globally, and has been in -next for the entire devel cycle. This
  changes compiler diagnostics (though mainly just -Warray-bounds which
  is disabled) and potential UBSAN_BOUNDS and FORTIFY _warning_
  coverage. In other words, there are no new restrictions, just
  potentially new warnings. Any new FORTIFY warnings we've seen have
  been fixed (usually in their respective subsystem trees). For more
  details, see commit df8fc4e934.

  The under-development compiler attribute __counted_by has been added
  so that we can start annotating flexible array members with their
  associated structure member that tracks the count of flexible array
  elements at run-time. It is possible (likely?) that the exact syntax
  of the attribute will change before it is finalized, but GCC and Clang
  are working together to sort it out. Any changes can be made to the
  macro while we continue to add annotations.

  As an example of that last case, I have a treewide commit waiting with
  such annotations found via Coccinelle:

    https://git.kernel.org/linus/adc5b3cb48a049563dc673f348eab7b6beba8a9b

ed3b7923a8 Scheduler changes for v6.5:
- Scheduler SMP load-balancer improvements:
 
     - Avoid unnecessary migrations within SMT domains on hybrid systems.
 
       Problem:
 
         On hybrid CPU systems, (processors with a mixture of higher-frequency
 	SMT cores and lower-frequency non-SMT cores), under the old code
 	lower-priority CPUs pulled tasks from the higher-priority cores if
 	more than one SMT sibling was busy - resulting in many unnecessary
 	task migrations.
 
       Solution:
 
         The new code improves the load balancer to recognize SMT cores with more
         than one busy sibling and allows lower-priority CPUs to pull tasks, which
         avoids superfluous migrations and lets lower-priority cores inspect all SMT
         siblings for the busiest queue.
 
     - Implement the 'runnable boosting' feature in the EAS balancer: consider CPU
       contention in frequency, EAS max util & load-balance busiest CPU selection.
 
       This improves CPU utilization for certain workloads, while leaves other key
       workloads unchanged.
 
 - Scheduler infrastructure improvements:
 
     - Rewrite the scheduler topology setup code by consolidating it
       into the build_sched_topology() helper function and building
       it dynamically on the fly.
 
     - Resolve the local_clock() vs. noinstr complications by rewriting
       the code: provide separate sched_clock_noinstr() and
       local_clock_noinstr() functions to be used in instrumentation code,
       and make sure it is all instrumentation-safe.
 
 - Fixes:
 
     - Fix a kthread_park() race with wait_woken()
 
     - Fix misc wait_task_inactive() bugs unearthed by the -rt merge:
        - Fix UP PREEMPT bug by unifying the SMP and UP implementations.
        - Fix task_struct::saved_state handling.
 
     - Fix various rq clock update bugs, unearthed by turning on the rq clock
       debugging code.
 
     - Fix the PSI WINDOW_MIN_US trigger limit, which was easy to trigger by
       creating enough cgroups, by removing the warnign and restricting
       window size triggers to PSI file write-permission or CAP_SYS_RESOURCE.
 
     - Propagate SMT flags in the topology when removing degenerate domain
 
     - Fix grub_reclaim() calculation bug in the deadline scheduler code
 
     - Avoid resetting the min update period when it is unnecessary, in
       psi_trigger_destroy().
 
     - Don't balance a task to its current running CPU in load_balance(),
       which was possible on certain NUMA topologies with overlapping
       groups.
 
     - Fix the sched-debug printing of rq->nr_uninterruptible
 
 - Cleanups:
 
     - Address various -Wmissing-prototype warnings, as a preparation
       to (maybe) enable this warning in the future.
 
     - Remove unused code
 
     - Mark more functions __init
 
     - Fix shadow-variable warnings

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Scheduler SMP load-balancer improvements:

   - Avoid unnecessary migrations within SMT domains on hybrid systems.

     Problem:

        On hybrid CPU systems, (processors with a mixture of
        higher-frequency SMT cores and lower-frequency non-SMT cores),
        under the old code lower-priority CPUs pulled tasks from the
        higher-priority cores if more than one SMT sibling was busy -
        resulting in many unnecessary task migrations.

     Solution:

        The new code improves the load balancer to recognize SMT cores
        with more than one busy sibling and allows lower-priority CPUs
        to pull tasks, which avoids superfluous migrations and lets
        lower-priority cores inspect all SMT siblings for the busiest
        queue.

   - Implement the 'runnable boosting' feature in the EAS balancer:
     consider CPU contention in frequency, EAS max util & load-balance
     busiest CPU selection.

     This improves CPU utilization for certain workloads, while leaves
     other key workloads unchanged.

  Scheduler infrastructure improvements:

   - Rewrite the scheduler topology setup code by consolidating it into
     the build_sched_topology() helper function and building it
     dynamically on the fly.

   - Resolve the local_clock() vs. noinstr complications by rewriting
     the code: provide separate sched_clock_noinstr() and
     local_clock_noinstr() functions to be used in instrumentation code,
     and make sure it is all instrumentation-safe.

  Fixes:

   - Fix a kthread_park() race with wait_woken()

   - Fix misc wait_task_inactive() bugs unearthed by the -rt merge:
       - Fix UP PREEMPT bug by unifying the SMP and UP implementations
       - Fix task_struct::saved_state handling

   - Fix various rq clock update bugs, unearthed by turning on the rq
     clock debugging code.

   - Fix the PSI WINDOW_MIN_US trigger limit, which was easy to trigger
     by creating enough cgroups, by removing the warnign and restricting
     window size triggers to PSI file write-permission or
     CAP_SYS_RESOURCE.

   - Propagate SMT flags in the topology when removing degenerate domain

   - Fix grub_reclaim() calculation bug in the deadline scheduler code

   - Avoid resetting the min update period when it is unnecessary, in
     psi_trigger_destroy().

   - Don't balance a task to its current running CPU in load_balance(),
     which was possible on certain NUMA topologies with overlapping
     groups.

   - Fix the sched-debug printing of rq->nr_uninterruptible

  Cleanups:

   - Address various -Wmissing-prototype warnings, as a preparation to
     (maybe) enable this warning in the future.

   - Remove unused code

   - Mark more functions __init

   - Fix shadow-variable warnings"

8ce8849dd1 posix-timers: Ensure timer ID search-loop limit is valid
posix_timer_add() tries to allocate a posix timer ID by starting from the
cached ID which was stored by the last successful allocation.

This is done in a loop searching the ID space for a free slot one by
one. The loop has to terminate when the search wrapped around to the
starting point.

But that's racy vs. establishing the starting point. That is read out
lockless, which leads to the following problem:

CPU0	  	      	     	   CPU1
posix_timer_add()
  start = sig->posix_timer_id;
  lock(hash_lock);
  ...				   posix_timer_add()
  if (++sig->posix_timer_id < 0)
      			             start = sig->posix_timer_id;
     sig->posix_timer_id = 0;

So CPU1 can observe a negative start value, i.e. -1, and the loop break
never happens because the condition can never be true:

  if (sig->posix_timer_id == start)
     break;

While this is unlikely to ever turn into an endless loop as the ID space is
huge (INT_MAX), the racy read of the start value caught the attention of
KCSAN and Dmitry unearthed that incorrectness.

Rewrite it so that all id operations are under the hash lock.

except for posix CPU timers which have HAVE_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK
enabled.

In that case and on RT kernels the existing task could live lock when
preempting the task which does the timer delivery.

Replace spin_unlock() with an invocation of timer_wait_running() to handle
it the same way as the other retry loops in the posix timer code.

13bb06f8dd tick/common: Align tick period during sched_timer setup
The tick period is aligned very early while the first clock_event_device is
registered. At that point the system runs in periodic mode and switches
later to one-shot mode if possible.

The next wake-up event is programmed based on the aligned value
(tick_next_period) but the delta value, that is used to program the
clock_event_device, is computed based on ktime_get().

With the subtracted offset, the device fires earlier than the exact time
frame. With a large enough offset the system programs the timer for the
next wake-up and the remaining time left is too small to make any boot
progress. The system hangs.

Move the alignment later to the setup of tick_sched timer. At this point
the system switches to oneshot mode and a high resolution clocksource is
available. At this point it is safe to align tick_next_period because
ktime_get() will now return accurate (not jiffies based) time.

[bigeasy: Patch description + testing].

5949a68c73 time/sched_clock: Provide sched_clock_noinstr()
With the intent to provide local_clock_noinstr(), a variant of
local_clock() that's safe to be called from noinstr code (with the
assumption that any such code will already be non-preemptible),
prepare for things by providing a noinstr sched_clock_noinstr() function.

Specifically, preempt_enable_*() calls out to schedule(), which upsets
noinstr validation efforts.

As such, pull out the preempt_{dis,en}able_notrace() requirements from
the sched_clock_read() implementations by explicitly providing it in
the sched_clock() function.

This further requires said sched_clock_read() functions to be noinstr
themselves, for ARCH_WANTS_NO_INSTR users. See the next few patches.

d16317de9b seqlock/latch: Provide raw_read_seqcount_latch_retry()
The read side of seqcount_latch consists of:

  do {
    seq = raw_read_seqcount_latch(&latch->seq);
    ...
  } while (read_seqcount_latch_retry(&latch->seq, seq));

which is asymmetric in the raw_ department, and sure enough,
read_seqcount_latch_retry() includes (explicit) instrumentation where
raw_read_seqcount_latch() does not.

This inconsistency becomes a problem when trying to use it from
noinstr code. As such, fix it by renaming and re-implementing
raw_read_seqcount_latch_retry() without the instrumentation.

Specifically the instrumentation in question is kcsan_atomic_next(0)
in do___read_seqcount_retry(). Loosing this annotation is not a
problem because raw_read_seqcount_latch() does not pass through
kcsan_atomic_next(KCSAN_SEQLOCK_REGION_MAX).

f9d36cf445 tick/broadcast: Make broadcast device replacement work correctly
When a tick broadcast clockevent device is initialized for one shot mode
then tick_broadcast_setup_oneshot() OR's the periodic broadcast mode
cpumask into the oneshot broadcast cpumask.

This is required when switching from periodic broadcast mode to oneshot
broadcast mode to ensure that CPUs which are waiting for periodic
broadcast are woken up on the next tick.

But it is subtly broken, when an active broadcast device is replaced and
the system is already in oneshot (NOHZ/HIGHRES) mode. Victor observed
this and debugged the issue.

Then the OR of the periodic broadcast CPU mask is wrong as the periodic
cpumask bits are sticky after tick_broadcast_enable() set it for a CPU
unless explicitly cleared via tick_broadcast_disable().

That means that this sets all other CPUs which have tick broadcasting
enabled at that point unconditionally in the oneshot broadcast mask.

If the affected CPUs were already idle and had their bits set in the
oneshot broadcast mask then this does no harm. But for non idle CPUs
which were not set this corrupts their state.

On their next invocation of tick_broadcast_enable() they observe the bit
set, which indicates that the broadcast for the CPU is already set up.
As a consequence they fail to update the broadcast event even if their
earliest expiring timer is before the actually programmed broadcast
event.

If the programmed broadcast event is far in the future, then this can
cause stalls or trigger the hung task detector.

Avoid this by telling tick_broadcast_setup_oneshot() explicitly whether
this is the initial switch over from periodic to oneshot broadcast which
must take the periodic broadcast mask into account. In the case of
initialization of a replacement device this prevents that the broadcast
oneshot mask is modified.

There is a second problem with broadcast device replacement in this
function. The broadcast device is only armed when the previous state of
the device was periodic.

That is correct for the switch from periodic broadcast mode to oneshot
broadcast mode as the underlying broadcast device could operate in
oneshot state already due to lack of periodic state in hardware. In that
case it is already armed to expire at the next tick.

For the replacement case this is wrong as the device is in shutdown
state. That means that any already pending broadcast event will not be
armed.

This went unnoticed because any CPU which goes idle will observe that
the broadcast device has an expiry time of KTIME_MAX and therefore any
CPUs next timer event will be earlier and cause a reprogramming of the
broadcast device. But that does not guarantee that the events of the
CPUs which were already in idle are delivered on time.

Fix this by arming the newly installed device for an immediate event
which will reevaluate the per CPU expiry times and reprogram the
broadcast device accordingly. This is simpler than caching the last
expiry time in yet another place or saving it before the device exchange
and handing it down to the setup function. Replacement of broadcast
devices is not a frequent operation and usually happens once somewhere
late in the boot process.

556eb8b791 Driver core changes for 6.4-rc1
Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.4-rc1.
 
 Once again, a busy development cycle, with lots of changes happening in
 the driver core in the quest to be able to move "struct bus" and "struct
 class" into read-only memory, a task now complete with these changes.
 
 This will make the future rust interactions with the driver core more
 "provably correct" as well as providing more obvious lifetime rules for
 all busses and classes in the kernel.
 
 The changes required for this did touch many individual classes and
 busses as many callbacks were changed to take const * parameters
 instead.  All of these changes have been submitted to the various
 subsystem maintainers, giving them plenty of time to review, and most of
 them actually did so.
 
 Other than those changes, included in here are a small set of other
 things:
   - kobject logging improvements
   - cacheinfo improvements and updates
   - obligatory fw_devlink updates and fixes
   - documentation updates
   - device property cleanups and const * changes
   - firwmare loader dependency fixes.
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
 problems.

e7989789c6 Timers and timekeeping updates:
- Improve the VDSO build time checks to cover all dynamic relocations
 
     VDSO does not allow dynamic relcations, but the build time check is
     incomplete and fragile.
 
     It's based on architectures specifying the relocation types to search
     for and does not handle R_*_NONE relocation entries correctly.
     R_*_NONE relocations are injected by some GNU ld variants if they fail
     to determine the exact .rel[a]/dyn_size to cover trailing zeros.
     R_*_NONE relocations must be ignored by dynamic loaders, so they
     should be ignored in the build time check too.
 
     Remove the architecture specific relocation types to check for and
     validate strictly that no other relocations than R_*_NONE end up
     in the VSDO .so file.
 
   - Prefer signal delivery to the current thread for
     CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID based posix-timers
 
     Such timers prefer to deliver the signal to the main thread of a
     process even if the context in which the timer expires is the current
     task. This has the downside that it might wake up an idle thread.
 
     As there is no requirement or guarantee that the signal has to be
     delivered to the main thread, avoid this by preferring the current
     task if it is part of the thread group which shares sighand.
 
     This not only avoids waking idle threads, it also distributes the
     signal delivery in case of multiple timers firing in the context
     of different threads close to each other better.
 
   - Align the tick period properly (again)
 
     For a long time the tick was starting at CLOCK_MONOTONIC zero, which
     allowed users space applications to either align with the tick or to
     place a periodic computation so that it does not interfere with the
     tick. The alignement of the tick period was more by chance than by
     intention as the tick is set up before a high resolution clocksource is
     installed, i.e. timekeeping is still tick based and the tick period
     advances from there.
 
     The early enablement of sched_clock() broke this alignement as the time
     accumulated by sched_clock() is taken into account when timekeeping is
     initialized. So the base value now(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) is not longer a
     multiple of tick periods, which breaks applications which relied on
     that behaviour.
 
     Cure this by aligning the tick starting point to the next multiple of
     tick periods, i.e 1000ms/CONFIG_HZ.
 
  - A set of NOHZ fixes and enhancements
 
    - Cure the concurrent writer race for idle and IO sleeptime statistics
 
      The statitic values which are exposed via /proc/stat are updated from
      the CPU local idle exit and remotely by cpufreq, but that happens
      without any form of serialization. As a consequence sleeptimes can be
      accounted twice or worse.
 
      Prevent this by restricting the accumulation writeback to the CPU
      local idle exit and let the remote access compute the accumulated
      value.
 
    - Protect idle/iowait sleep time with a sequence count
 
      Reading idle/iowait sleep time, e.g. from /proc/stat, can race with
      idle exit updates. As a consequence the readout may result in random
      and potentially going backwards values.
 
      Protect this by a sequence count, which fixes the idle time
      statistics issue, but cannot fix the iowait time problem because
      iowait time accounting races with remote wake ups decrementing the
      remote runqueues nr_iowait counter. The latter is impossible to fix,
      so the only way to deal with that is to document it properly and to
      remove the assertion in the selftest which triggers occasionally due
      to that.
 
    - Restructure struct tick_sched for better cache layout
 
    - Some small cleanups and a better cache layout for struct tick_sched
 
  - Implement the missing timer_wait_running() callback for POSIX CPU timers
 
    For unknown reason the introduction of the timer_wait_running() callback
    missed to fixup posix CPU timers, which went unnoticed for almost four
    years.
 
    While initially only targeted to prevent livelocks between a timer
    deletion and the timer expiry function on PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels, it
    turned out that fixing this for mainline is not as trivial as just
    implementing a stub similar to the hrtimer/timer callbacks.
 
    The reason is that for CONFIG_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK enabled systems
    there is a livelock issue independent of RT.
 
    CONFIG_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK=y moves the expiry of POSIX CPU timers
    out from hard interrupt context to task work, which is handled before
    returning to user space or to a VM. The expiry mechanism moves the
    expired timers to a stack local list head with sighand lock held. Once
    sighand is dropped the task can be preempted and a task which wants to
    delete a timer will spin-wait until the expiry task is scheduled back
    in. In the worst case this will end up in a livelock when the preempting
    task and the expiry task are pinned on the same CPU.
 
    The timer wheel has a timer_wait_running() mechanism for RT, which uses
    a per CPU timer-base expiry lock which is held by the expiry code and the
    task waiting for the timer function to complete blocks on that lock.
 
    This does not work in the same way for posix CPU timers as there is no
    timer base and expiry for process wide timers can run on any task
    belonging to that process, but the concept of waiting on an expiry lock
    can be used too in a slightly different way.
 
    Add a per task mutex to struct posix_cputimers_work, let the expiry task
    hold it accross the expiry function and let the deleting task which
    waits for the expiry to complete block on the mutex.
 
    In the non-contended case this results in an extra mutex_lock()/unlock()
    pair on both sides.
 
    This avoids spin-waiting on a task which is scheduled out, prevents the
    livelock and cures the problem for RT and !RT systems.

   the VSDO .so file.

 - Prefer signal delivery to the current thread for
   CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID based posix-timers

   Such timers prefer to deliver the signal to the main thread of a
   process even if the context in which the timer expires is the current
   task. This has the downside that it might wake up an idle thread.

   As there is no requirement or guarantee that the signal has to be
   delivered to the main thread, avoid this by preferring the current
   task if it is part of the thread group which shares sighand.

   This not only avoids waking idle threads, it also distributes the
   signal delivery in case of multiple timers firing in the context of
   different threads close to each other better.

 - Align the tick period properly (again)

   For a long time the tick was starting at CLOCK_MONOTONIC zero, which
   allowed users space applications to either align with the tick or to
   place a periodic computation so that it does not interfere with the
   tick. The alignement of the tick period was more by chance than by
   intention as the tick is set up before a high resolution clocksource
   is installed, i.e. timekeeping is still tick based and the tick
   period advances from there.

   The early enablement of sched_clock() broke this alignement as the
   time accumulated by sched_clock() is taken into account when
   timekeeping is initialized. So the base value now(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) is
   not longer a multiple of tick periods, which breaks applications
   which relied on that behaviour.

   Cure this by aligning the tick starting point to the next multiple of
   tick periods, i.e 1000ms/CONFIG_HZ.

 - A set of NOHZ fixes and enhancements:

     * Cure the concurrent writer race for idle and IO sleeptime
       statistics

       The statitic values which are exposed via /proc/stat are updated
       from the CPU local idle exit and remotely by cpufreq, but that
       happens without any form of serialization. As a consequence
       sleeptimes can be accounted twice or worse.

       Prevent this by restricting the accumulation writeback to the CPU
       local idle exit and let the remote access compute the accumulated
       value.

     * Protect idle/iowait sleep time with a sequence count

       Reading idle/iowait sleep time, e.g. from /proc/stat, can race
       with idle exit updates. As a consequence the readout may result
       in random and potentially going backwards values.

       Protect this by a sequence count, which fixes the idle time
       statistics issue, but cannot fix the iowait time problem because
       iowait time accounting races with remote wake ups decrementing
       the remote runqueues nr_iowait counter. The latter is impossible
       to fix, so the only way to deal with that is to document it
       properly and to remove the assertion in the selftest which
       triggers occasionally due to that.

     * Restructure struct tick_sched for better cache layout

     * Some small cleanups and a better cache layout for struct
       tick_sched

 - Implement the missing timer_wait_running() callback for POSIX CPU
   timers

   For unknown reason the introduction of the timer_wait_running()
   callback missed to fixup posix CPU timers, which went unnoticed for
   almost four years.

   While initially only targeted to prevent livelocks between a timer
   deletion and the timer expiry function on PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels,
   it turned out that fixing this for mainline is not as trivial as just
   implementing a stub similar to the hrtimer/timer callbacks.

   The reason is that for CONFIG_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK enabled
   systems there is a livelock issue independent of RT.

   CONFIG_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK=y moves the expiry of POSIX CPU
   timers out from hard interrupt context to task work, which is handled
   before returning to user space or to a VM. The expiry mechanism moves
   the expired timers to a stack local list head with sighand lock held.
   Once sighand is dropped the task can be preempted and a task which
   wants to delete a timer will spin-wait until the expiry task is
   scheduled back in. In the worst case this will end up in a livelock
   when the preempting task and the expiry task are pinned on the same
   CPU.

   The timer wheel has a timer_wait_running() mechanism for RT, which
   uses a per CPU timer-base expiry lock which is held by the expiry
   code and the task waiting for the timer function to complete blocks
   on that lock.

   This does not work in the same way for posix CPU timers as there is
   no timer base and expiry for process wide timers can run on any task
   belonging to that process, but the concept of waiting on an expiry
   lock can be used too in a slightly different way.

   Add a per task mutex to struct posix_cputimers_work, let the expiry
   task hold it accross the expiry function and let the deleting task
   which waits for the expiry to complete block on the mutex.

   In the non-contended case this results in an extra
   mutex_lock()/unlock() pair on both sides.

   This avoids spin-waiting on a task which is scheduled out, prevents
   the livelock and cures the problem for RT and !RT systems

f7abf14f00 posix-cpu-timers: Implement the missing timer_wait_running callback
For some unknown reason the introduction of the timer_wait_running callback
missed to fixup posix CPU timers, which went unnoticed for almost four years.
Marco reported recently that the WARN_ON() in timer_wait_running()
triggers with a posix CPU timer test case.

Posix CPU timers have two execution models for expiring timers depending on
CONFIG_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK:

1) If not enabled, the expiry happens in hard interrupt context so
   spin waiting on the remote CPU is reasonably time bound.

   Implement an empty stub function for that case.

2) If enabled, the expiry happens in task work before returning to user
   space or guest mode. The expired timers are marked as firing and moved
   from the timer queue to a local list head with sighand lock held. Once
   the timers are moved, sighand lock is dropped and the expiry happens in
   fully preemptible context. That means the expiring task can be scheduled
   out, migrated, interrupted etc. So spin waiting on it is more than
   suboptimal.

   The timer wheel has a timer_wait_running() mechanism for RT, which uses
   a per CPU timer-base expiry lock which is held by the expiry code and the
   task waiting for the timer function to complete blocks on that lock.

   This does not work in the same way for posix CPU timers as there is no
   timer base and expiry for process wide timers can run on any task
   belonging to that process, but the concept of waiting on an expiry lock
   can be used too in a slightly different way:

    - Add a mutex to struct posix_cputimers_work. This struct is per task
      and used to schedule the expiry task work from the timer interrupt.

    - Add a task_struct pointer to struct cpu_timer which is used to store
      a the task which runs the expiry. That's filled in when the task
      moves the expired timers to the local expiry list. That's not
      affecting the size of the k_itimer union as there are bigger union
      members already

    - Let the task take the expiry mutex around the expiry function

    - Let the waiter acquire a task reference with rcu_read_lock() held and
      block on the expiry mutex

   This avoids spin-waiting on a task which might not even be on a CPU and
   works nicely for RT too.

ead70b7523 timers/nohz: Add a comment about broken iowait counter update race
The per-cpu iowait task counter is incremented locally upon sleeping.
But since the task can be woken to (and by) another CPU, the counter may
then be decremented remotely. This is the source of a race involving
readers VS writer of idle/iowait sleeptime.

The following scenario shows an example where a /proc/stat reader
observes a pending sleep time as IO whereas that pending sleep time
later eventually gets accounted as non-IO.

    CPU 0                       CPU  1                    CPU 2
    -----                       -----                     ------
    //io_schedule() TASK A
    current->in_iowait = 1
    rq(0)->nr_iowait++
    //switch to idle
                        // READ /proc/stat
                        // See nr_iowait_cpu(0) == 1
                        return ts->iowait_sleeptime +
                               ktime_sub(ktime_get(), ts->idle_entrytime)

                                                          //try_to_wake_up(TASK A)
                                                          rq(0)->nr_iowait--
    //idle exit
    // See nr_iowait_cpu(0) == 0
    ts->idle_sleeptime += ktime_sub(ktime_get(), ts->idle_entrytime)

As a result subsequent reads on /proc/stat may expose backward progress.

This is unfortunately hardly fixable. Just add a comment about that
condition.

620a30fa0b timers/nohz: Protect idle/iowait sleep time under seqcount
Reading idle/IO sleep time (eg: from /proc/stat) can race with idle exit
updates because the state machine handling the stats is not atomic and
requires a coherent read batch.

As a result reading the sleep time may report irrelevant or backward
values.

Fix this with protecting the simple state machine within a seqcount.
This is expected to be cheap enough not to add measurable performance
impact on the idle path.

Note this only fixes reader VS writer condition partitially. A race
remains that involves remote updates of the CPU iowait task counter. It
can hardly be fixed.

07b65a800b timers/nohz: Only ever update sleeptime from idle exit
The idle and IO sleeptime statistics appearing in /proc/stat can be
currently updated from two sites: locally on idle exit and remotely
by cpufreq. However there is no synchronization mechanism protecting
concurrent updates. It is therefore possible to account the sleeptime
twice, among all the other possible broken scenarios.

To prevent from breaking the sleeptime accounting source, restrict the
sleeptime updates to the local idle exit site. If there is a delta to
add since the last update, IO/Idle sleep time readers will now only
compute the delta without actually writing it back to the internal idle
statistic fields.

This fixes a writer VS writer race. Note there are still two known
reader VS writer races to handle. A subsequent patch will fix one.
