d2cbdbe22b locking/csd_lock: Change csdlock_debug from early_param to __setup
[ Upstream commit 9c9b26b0df ]

The csdlock_debug kernel-boot parameter is parsed by the
early_param() function csdlock_debug().  If set, csdlock_debug()
invokes static_branch_enable() to enable csd_lock_wait feature, which
triggers a panic on arm64 for kernels built with CONFIG_SPARSEMEM=y and
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP=n.

With CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP=n, __nr_to_section is called in
static_key_enable() and returns NULL, resulting in a NULL dereference
because mem_section is initialized only later in sparse_init().

This is also a problem for powerpc because early_param() functions
are invoked earlier than jump_label_init(), also resulting in
static_key_enable() failures.  These failures cause the warning "static
key 'xxx' used before call to jump_label_init()".

Thus, early_param is too early for csd_lock_wait to run
static_branch_enable(), so changes it to __setup to fix these.

44981e4cde smp: Fix offline cpu check in flush_smp_call_function_queue()
commit 9e949a3886 upstream.

The check in flush_smp_call_function_queue() for callbacks that are sent
to offline CPUs currently checks whether the queue is empty.

However, flush_smp_call_function_queue() has just deleted all the
callbacks from the queue and moved all the entries into a local list.
This checks would only be positive if some callbacks were added in the
short time after llist_del_all() was called. This does not seem to be
the intention of this check.

Change the check to look at the local list to which the entries were
moved instead of the queue from which all the callbacks were just
removed.

1139aeb1c5 smp: Fix smp_call_function_single_async prototype
As of commit 966a967116 ("smp: Avoid using two cache lines for struct
call_single_data"), the smp code prefers 32-byte aligned call_single_data
objects for performance reasons, but the block layer includes an instance
of this structure in the main 'struct request' that is more senstive
to size than to performance here, see 4ccafe0320 ("block: unalign
call_single_data in struct request").

The result is a violation of the calling conventions that clang correctly
points out:

block/blk-mq.c:630:39: warning: passing 8-byte aligned argument to 32-byte aligned parameter 2 of 'smp_call_function_single_async' may result in an unaligned pointer access [-Walign-mismatch]
                smp_call_function_single_async(cpu, &rq->csd);

It does seem that the usage of the call_single_data without cache line
alignment should still be allowed by the smp code, so just change the
function prototype so it accepts both, but leave the default alignment
unchanged for the other users. This seems better to me than adding
a local hack to shut up an otherwise correct warning in the caller.

a32a4d8a81 smp: Run functions concurrently in smp_call_function_many_cond()
Currently, on_each_cpu() and similar functions do not exploit the
potential of concurrency: the function is first executed remotely and
only then it is executed locally. Functions such as TLB flush can take
considerable time, so this provides an opportunity for performance
optimization.

To do so, modify smp_call_function_many_cond(), to allows the callers to
provide a function that should be executed (remotely/locally), and run
them concurrently. Keep other smp_call_function_many() semantic as it is
today for backward compatibility: the called function is not executed in
this case locally.

smp_call_function_many_cond() does not use the optimized version for a
single remote target that smp_call_function_single() implements. For
synchronous function call, smp_call_function_single() keeps a
call_single_data (which is used for synchronization) on the stack.
Interestingly, it seems that not using this optimization provides
greater performance improvements (greater speedup with a single remote
target than with multiple ones). Presumably, holding data structures
that are intended for synchronization on the stack can introduce
overheads due to TLB misses and false-sharing when the stack is used for
other purposes.

a5aabace5f locking/csd_lock: Add more data to CSD lock debugging
In order to help identifying problems with IPI handling and remote
function execution add some more data to IPI debugging code.

There have been multiple reports of CPUs looping long times (many
seconds) in smp_call_function_many() waiting for another CPU executing
a function like tlb flushing. Most of these reports have been for
cases where the kernel was running as a guest on top of KVM or Xen
(there are rumours of that happening under VMWare, too, and even on
bare metal).

Finding the root cause hasn't been successful yet, even after more than
2 years of chasing this bug by different developers.

Commit:

  35feb60474 ("kernel/smp: Provide CSD lock timeout diagnostics")

tried to address this by adding some debug code and by issuing another
IPI when a hang was detected. This helped mitigating the problem
(the repeated IPI unlocks the hang), but the root cause is still unknown.

Current available data suggests that either an IPI wasn't sent when it
should have been, or that the IPI didn't result in the target CPU
executing the queued function (due to the IPI not reaching the CPU,
the IPI handler not being called, or the handler not seeing the queued
request).

Try to add more diagnostic data by introducing a global atomic counter
which is being incremented when doing critical operations (before and
after queueing a new request, when sending an IPI, and when dequeueing
a request). The counter value is stored in percpu variables which can
be printed out when a hang is detected.

The data of the last event (consisting of sequence counter, source
CPU, target CPU, and event type) is stored in a global variable. When
a new event is to be traced, the data of the last event is stored in
the event related percpu location and the global data is updated with
the new event's data. This allows to track two events in one data
location: one by the value of the event data (the event before the
current one), and one by the location itself (the current event).

A typical printout with a detected hang will look like this:

csd: Detected non-responsive CSD lock (#1) on CPU#1, waiting 5000000003 ns for CPU#06 scf_handler_1+0x0/0x50(0xffffa2a881bb1410).
	csd: CSD lock (#1) handling prior scf_handler_1+0x0/0x50(0xffffa2a8813823c0) request.
        csd: cnt(00008cc): ffff->0000 dequeue (src cpu 0 == empty)
        csd: cnt(00008cd): ffff->0006 idle
        csd: cnt(0003668): 0001->0006 queue
        csd: cnt(0003669): 0001->0006 ipi
        csd: cnt(0003e0f): 0007->000a queue
        csd: cnt(0003e10): 0001->ffff ping
        csd: cnt(0003e71): 0003->0000 ping
        csd: cnt(0003e72): ffff->0006 gotipi
        csd: cnt(0003e73): ffff->0006 handle
        csd: cnt(0003e74): ffff->0006 dequeue (src cpu 0 == empty)
        csd: cnt(0003e7f): 0004->0006 ping
        csd: cnt(0003e80): 0001->ffff pinged
        csd: cnt(0003eb2): 0005->0001 noipi
        csd: cnt(0003eb3): 0001->0006 queue
        csd: cnt(0003eb4): 0001->0006 noipi
        csd: cnt now: 0003f00

The idea is to print only relevant entries. Those are all events which
are associated with the hang (so sender side events for the source CPU
of the hanging request, and receiver side events for the target CPU),
and the related events just before those (for adding data needed to
identify a possible race). Printing all available data would be
possible, but this would add large amounts of data printed on larger
configurations.

8d0968cc6b locking/csd_lock: Add boot parameter for controlling CSD lock debugging
Currently CSD lock debugging can be switched on and off via a kernel
config option only. Unfortunately there is at least one problem with
CSD lock handling pending for about 2 years now, which has been seen
in different environments (mostly when running virtualized under KVM
or Xen, at least once on bare metal). Multiple attempts to catch this
issue have finally led to introduction of CSD lock debug code, but
this code is not in use in most distros as it has some impact on
performance.

In order to be able to ship kernels with CONFIG_CSD_LOCK_WAIT_DEBUG
enabled even for production use, add a boot parameter for switching
the debug functionality on. This will reduce any performance impact
of the debug coding to a bare minimum when not being used.

f9d34595ae smp: Process pending softirqs in flush_smp_call_function_from_idle()
send_call_function_single_ipi() may wake an idle CPU without sending an
IPI. The woken up CPU will process the SMP-functions in
flush_smp_call_function_from_idle(). Any raised softirq from within the
SMP-function call will not be processed.
Should the CPU have no tasks assigned, then it will go back to idle with
pending softirqs and the NOHZ will rightfully complain.

Process pending softirqs on return from flush_smp_call_function_queue().

This commit adds a destination CPU to __call_single_data, and is inspired
by an earlier commit by Peter Zijlstra.  This version adds #ifdef to
permit use by 32-bit systems and supplying the destination CPU for all
smp_call_function*() requests, not just smp_call_function_single().

If need be, 32-bit systems could be accommodated by shrinking the flags
field to 16 bits (the atomic_t variant is currently unused) and by
providing only eight bits for CPU on such systems.

It is not clear that the addition of the fields to __call_single_node
are really needed.

a148866489 sched: Replace rq::wake_list
The recent commit: 90b5363acd ("sched: Clean up scheduler_ipi()")
got smp_call_function_single_async() subtly wrong. Even though it will
return -EBUSY when trying to re-use a csd, that condition is not
atomic and still requires external serialization.

The change in ttwu_queue_remote() got this wrong.

While on first reading ttwu_queue_remote() has an atomic test-and-set
that appears to serialize the use, the matching 'release' is not in
the right place to actually guarantee this serialization.

The actual race is vs the sched_ttwu_pending() call in the idle loop;
that can run the wakeup-list without consuming the CSD.

Instead of trying to chain the lists, merge them.

4b44a21dd6 irq_work, smp: Allow irq_work on call_single_queue
Currently irq_work_queue_on() will issue an unconditional
arch_send_call_function_single_ipi() and has the handler do
irq_work_run().

This is unfortunate in that it makes the IPI handler look at a second
cacheline and it misses the opportunity to avoid the IPI. Instead note
that struct irq_work and struct __call_single_data are very similar in
layout, so use a few bits in the flags word to encode a type and stick
the irq_work on the call_single_queue list.

The call_single_queue can contain (two) different callbacks,
synchronous and asynchronous. The current interrupt handler runs them
in-order, which means that remote CPUs that are waiting for their
synchronous call can be delayed by running asynchronous callbacks.

Rework the interrupt handler to first run the synchonous callbacks.

5a18ceca63 smp: Allow smp_call_function_single_async() to insert locked csd
Previously we will raise an warning if we want to insert a csd object
which is with the LOCK flag set, and if it happens we'll also wait for
the lock to be released.  However, this operation does not match
perfectly with how the function is named - the name with "_async"
suffix hints that this function should not block, while we will.

This patch changed this behavior by simply return -EBUSY instead of
waiting, at the meantime we allow this operation to happen without
warning the user to change this into a feature when the caller wants
to "insert a csd object, if it's there, just wait for that one".

This is pretty safe because in flush_smp_call_function_queue() for
async csd objects (where csd->flags&SYNC is zero) we'll first do the
unlock then we call the csd->func().  So if we see the csd->flags&LOCK
is true in smp_call_function_single_async(), then it's guaranteed that
csd->func() will be called after this smp_call_function_single_async()
returns -EBUSY.

Update the comment of the function too to refect this.

b284909aba cpu/hotplug: Fix "SMT disabled by BIOS" detection for KVM
With the following commit:

  73d5e2b472 ("cpu/hotplug: detect SMT disabled by BIOS")

... the hotplug code attempted to detect when SMT was disabled by BIOS,
in which case it reported SMT as permanently disabled.  However, that
code broke a virt hotplug scenario, where the guest is booted with only
primary CPU threads, and a sibling is brought online later.

The problem is that there doesn't seem to be a way to reliably
distinguish between the HW "SMT disabled by BIOS" case and the virt
"sibling not yet brought online" case.  So the above-mentioned commit
was a bit misguided, as it permanently disabled SMT for both cases,
preventing future virt sibling hotplugs.

Going back and reviewing the original problems which were attempted to
be solved by that commit, when SMT was disabled in BIOS:

  1) /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control showed "on" instead of
     "notsupported"; and

  2) vmx_vm_init() was incorrectly showing the L1TF_MSG_SMT warning.

I'd propose that we instead consider #1 above to not actually be a
problem.  Because, at least in the virt case, it's possible that SMT
wasn't disabled by BIOS and a sibling thread could be brought online
later.  So it makes sense to just always default the smt control to "on"
to allow for that possibility (assuming cpuid indicates that the CPU
supports SMT).

The real problem is #2, which has a simple fix: change vmx_vm_init() to
query the actual current SMT state -- i.e., whether any siblings are
currently online -- instead of looking at the SMT "control" sysfs value.

So fix it by:

  a) reverting the original "fix" and its followup fix:

     73d5e2b472 ("cpu/hotplug: detect SMT disabled by BIOS")
     bc2d8d262c ("cpu/hotplug: Fix SMT supported evaluation")

     and

  b) changing vmx_vm_init() to query the actual current SMT state --
     instead of the sysfs control value -- to determine whether the L1TF
     warning is needed.  This also requires the 'sched_smt_present'
     variable to exported, instead of 'cpu_smt_control'.

bc2d8d262c cpu/hotplug: Fix SMT supported evaluation
Josh reported that the late SMT evaluation in cpu_smt_state_init() sets
cpu_smt_control to CPU_SMT_NOT_SUPPORTED in case that 'nosmt' was supplied
on the kernel command line as it cannot differentiate between SMT disabled
by BIOS and SMT soft disable via 'nosmt'. That wreckages the state and
makes the sysfs interface unusable.

Rework this so that during bringup of the non boot CPUs the availability of
SMT is determined in cpu_smt_allowed(). If a newly booted CPU is not a
'primary' thread then set the local cpu_smt_available marker and evaluate
this explicitely right after the initial SMP bringup has finished.

SMT evaulation on x86 is a trainwreck as the firmware has all the
information _before_ booting the kernel, but there is no interface to query
it.

First, number of CPUs can't be negative number.

Second, different signnnedness leads to suboptimal code in the following
cases:

1)
	kmalloc(nr_cpu_ids * sizeof(X));

"int" has to be sign extended to size_t.

2)
	while (loff_t *pos < nr_cpu_ids)

MOVSXD is 1 byte longed than the same MOV.

Other cases exist as well. Basically compiler is told that nr_cpu_ids
can't be negative which can't be deduced if it is "int".

966a967116 smp: Avoid using two cache lines for struct call_single_data
struct call_single_data is used in IPIs to transfer information between
CPUs.  Its size is bigger than sizeof(unsigned long) and less than
cache line size.  Currently it is not allocated with any explicit alignment
requirements.  This makes it possible for allocated call_single_data to
cross two cache lines, which results in double the number of the cache lines
that need to be transferred among CPUs.

This can be fixed by requiring call_single_data to be aligned with the
size of call_single_data. Currently the size of call_single_data is the
power of 2.  If we add new fields to call_single_data, we may need to
add padding to make sure the size of new definition is the power of 2
as well.

Fortunately, this is enforced by GCC, which will report bad sizes.

To set alignment requirements of call_single_data to the size of
call_single_data, a struct definition and a typedef is used.

To test the effect of the patch, I used the vm-scalability multiple
thread swap test case (swap-w-seq-mt).  The test will create multiple
threads and each thread will eat memory until all RAM and part of swap
is used, so that huge number of IPIs are triggered when unmapping
memory.  In the test, the throughput of memory writing improves ~5%
compared with misaligned call_single_data, because of faster IPIs.

6c8557bdb2 smp, cpumask: Use non-atomic cpumask_{set,clear}_cpu()
The cpumasks in smp_call_function_many() are private and not subject
to concurrency, atomic bitops are pointless and expensive.

3fc5b3b6a8 smp: Avoid sending needless IPI in smp_call_function_many()
Inter-Processor-Interrupt(IPI) is needed when a page is unmapped and the
process' mm_cpumask() shows the process has ever run on other CPUs. page
migration, page reclaim all need IPIs. The number of IPI needed to send
to different CPUs is especially large for multi-threaded workload since
mm_cpumask() is per process.

For smp_call_function_many(), whenever a CPU queues a CSD to a target
CPU, it will send an IPI to let the target CPU to handle the work.
This isn't necessary - we need only send IPI when queueing a CSD
to an empty call_single_queue.

The reason:

flush_smp_call_function_queue() that is called upon a CPU receiving an
IPI will empty the queue and then handle all of the CSDs there. So if
the target CPU's call_single_queue is not empty, we know that:
i.  An IPI for the target CPU has already been sent by 'previous queuers';
ii. flush_smp_call_function_queue() hasn't emptied that CPU's queue yet.
Thus, it's safe for us to just queue our CSD there without sending an
addtional IPI. And for the 'previous queuers', we can limit it to the
first queuer.

To demonstrate the effect of this patch, a multi-thread workload that
spawns 80 threads to equally consume 100G memory is used. This is tested
on a 2 node broadwell-EP which has 44cores/88threads and 32G memory. So
after 32G memory is used up, page reclaiming starts to happen a lot.

With this patch, IPI number dropped 88% and throughput increased about
15% for the above workload.

4c822698cb sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to <linux/sched/idle.h>
We are going to split  <linux/sched/idle.h> out of <linux/sched.h>, which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.

Create a trivial placeholder <linux/sched/idle.h> file that just
maps to <linux/sched.h> to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.
