82d71b53d7 Documentation/core-api: correct reference to SWIOTLB_DYNAMIC
Commit c93f261dfc ("Documentation/core-api: add swiotlb documentation")
accidentally refers to CONFIG_DYNAMIC_SWIOTLB in one place, while the
config is actually called CONFIG_SWIOTLB_DYNAMIC.

Correct the reference to the intended config option.

6cbd1d6d36 arch: add ARCH_HAS_KERNEL_FPU_SUPPORT
Several architectures provide an API to enable the FPU and run
floating-point SIMD code in kernel space.  However, the function names,
header locations, and semantics are inconsistent across architectures, and
FPU support may be gated behind other Kconfig options.

provide a standard way for architectures to declare that kernel space
FPU support is available. Architectures selecting this option must
implement what is currently the most common API (kernel_fpu_begin() and
kernel_fpu_end(), plus a new function kernel_fpu_available()) and
provide the appropriate CFLAGS for compiling floating-point C code.

f7ae20f2fc docs: dma: correct dma_set_mask() sample code
There are bunch of codes in driver like

       if (dma_set_mask_and_coherent(dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(64)))
               dma_set_mask_and_coherent(dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(32))

Actually it is wrong because if dma_set_mask_and_coherent(64) fails,
dma_set_mask_and_coherent(32) will fail for the same reason.

And dma_set_mask_and_coherent(64) never returns failure.

According to the definition of dma_set_mask(), it indicates the width of
address that device DMA can access. If it can access 64-bit address, it
must access 32-bit address inherently. So only need set biggest address
width.

See below code fragment:

dma_set_mask(mask)
{
	mask = (dma_addr_t)mask;

	if (!dev->dma_mask || !dma_supported(dev, mask))
		return -EIO;

	arch_dma_set_mask(dev, mask);
	*dev->dma_mask = mask;
	return 0;
}

dma_supported() will call dma_direct_supported or iommux's dma_supported
call back function.

int dma_direct_supported(struct device *dev, u64 mask)
{
	u64 min_mask = (max_pfn - 1) << PAGE_SHIFT;

	/*
	 * Because 32-bit DMA masks are so common we expect every architecture
	 * to be able to satisfy them - either by not supporting more physical
	 * memory, or by providing a ZONE_DMA32.  If neither is the case, the
	 * architecture needs to use an IOMMU instead of the direct mapping.
	 */
	if (mask >= DMA_BIT_MASK(32))
		return 1;

	...
}

The iommux's dma_supported() actually means iommu requires devices's
minimized dma capability.

An example:

static int sba_dma_supported( struct device *dev, u64 mask)()
{
	...
	 * check if mask is >= than the current max IO Virt Address
         * The max IO Virt address will *always* < 30 bits.
         */
        return((int)(mask >= (ioc->ibase - 1 +
                        (ioc->pdir_size / sizeof(u64) * IOVP_SIZE) )));
	...
}

1 means supported. 0 means unsupported.

Correct document to make it more clear and provide correct sample code.

ff887eb07c workqueue: Changes for v6.9
This cycle, a lot of workqueue changes including some that are significant
 and invasive.
 
 - During v6.6 cycle, unbound workqueues were updated so that they are more
   topology aware and flexible, which among other things improved workqueue
   behavior on modern multi-L3 CPUs. In the process, 636b927eba
   ("workqueue: Make unbound workqueues to use per-cpu pool_workqueues")
   switched unbound workqueues to use per-CPU frontend pool_workqueues as a
   part of increasing front-back mapping flexibility.
 
   An unwelcome side effect of this change was that this made max concurrency
   enforcement per-CPU blowing up the maximum number of allowed concurrent
   executions. I incorrectly assumed that this wouldn't cause practical
   problems as most unbound workqueue users are self-regulate max
   concurrency; however, there definitely are which don't (e.g. on IO paths)
   and the drastic increase in the allowed max concurrency led to noticeable
   perf regressions in some use cases.
 
   This is now addressed by separating out max concurrency enforcement to a
   separate struct - wq_node_nr_active - which makes @max_active consistently
   mean system-wide max concurrency regardless of the number of CPUs or
   (finally) NUMA nodes. This is a rather invasive and, in places, a bit
   clunky; however, the clunkiness rises from the the inherent requirement to
   handle the disagreement between the execution locality domain and max
   concurrency enforcement domain on some modern machines. See 5797b1c189
   ("workqueue: Implement system-wide nr_active enforcement for unbound
   workqueues") for more details.
 
 - BH workqueue support is added. They are similar to per-CPU workqueues but
   execute work items in the softirq context. This is expected to replace
   tasklet. However, currently, it's missing the ability to disable and
   enable work items which is needed to convert many tasklet users. To avoid
   crowding this merge window too much, this will be included in the next
   merge window. A separate pull request will be sent for the couple
   conversion patches that are currently pending.
 
 - Waiman plugged a long-standing hole in workqueue CPU isolation where
   ordered workqueues didn't follow wq_unbound_cpumask updates. Ordered
   workqueues now follow the same rules as other unbound workqueues.
 
 - More CPU isolation improvements: Juri fixed another deficit in workqueue

3bc1e711c2 workqueue: Don't implicitly make UNBOUND workqueues w/ @max_active==1 ordered
5c0338c687 ("workqueue: restore WQ_UNBOUND/max_active==1 to be ordered")
automoatically promoted UNBOUND workqueues w/ @max_active==1 to ordered
workqueues because UNBOUND workqueues w/ @max_active==1 used to be the way
to create ordered workqueues and the new NUMA support broke it. These
problems can be subtle and the fact that they can only trigger on NUMA
machines made them even more difficult to debug.

However, overloading the UNBOUND allocation interface this way creates other
issues. It's difficult to tell whether a given workqueue actually needs to
be ordered and users that legitimately want a min concurrency level wq
unexpectedly gets an ordered one instead. With planned UNBOUND workqueue
udpates to improve execution locality and more prevalence of chiplet designs
which can benefit from such improvements, this isn't a state we wanna be in
forever.

There aren't that many UNBOUND w/ @max_active==1 users in the tree and the
preceding patches audited all and converted them to
alloc_ordered_workqueue() as appropriate. This patch removes the implicit
promotion of UNBOUND w/ @max_active==1 workqueues to ordered ones.

v2: v1 patch incorrectly dropped !list_empty(&wq->pwqs) condition in
    apply_workqueue_attrs_locked() which spuriously triggers WARNING and
    fails workqueue creation. Fix it.

4cb1ef6460 workqueue: Implement BH workqueues to eventually replace tasklets
The only generic interface to execute asynchronously in the BH context is
tasklet; however, it's marked deprecated and has some design flaws such as
the execution code accessing the tasklet item after the execution is
complete which can lead to subtle use-after-free in certain usage scenarios
and less-developed flush and cancel mechanisms.

This patch implements BH workqueues which share the same semantics and
features of regular workqueues but execute their work items in the softirq
context. As there is always only one BH execution context per CPU, none of
the concurrency management mechanisms applies and a BH workqueue can be
thought of as a convenience wrapper around softirq.

Except for the inability to sleep while executing and lack of max_active
adjustments, BH workqueues and work items should behave the same as regular
workqueues and work items.

Currently, the execution is hooked to tasklet[_hi]. However, the goal is to
convert all tasklet users over to BH workqueues. Once the conversion is
complete, tasklet can be removed and BH workqueues can directly take over
the tasklet softirqs.

system_bh[_highpri]_wq are added. As queue-wide flushing doesn't exist in
tasklet, all existing tasklet users should be able to use the system BH
workqueues without creating their own workqueues.

v3: - Add missing interrupt.h include.

v2: - Instead of using tasklets, hook directly into its softirq action
      functions - tasklet[_hi]_action(). This is slightly cheaper and closer
      to the eventual code structure we want to arrive at. Suggested by Lai.

    - Lai also pointed out several places which need NULL worker->task
      handling or can use clarification. Updated.

Pull drm updates from Dave Airlie:
 "This contains two major new drivers:

   - imagination is a first driver for Imagination Technologies devices,
     it only covers very specific devices, but there is hope to grow it

   - xe is a reboot of the i915 GPU (shares display) side using a more
     upstream focused development model, and trying to maximise code
     sharing. It's not enabled for any hw by default, and will hopefully
     get switched on for Intel's Lunarlake.

  This also drops a bunch of the old UMS ioctls. It's been dead long
  enough.

  amdgpu has a bunch of new color management code that is being used in
  the Steam Deck.

  amdgpu also has a new ACPI WBRF interaction to help avoid radio
  interference.

  Otherwise it's the usual lots of changes in lots of places.

5b9b41617b Another moderately busy cycle for documentation, including:
- The minimum Sphinx requirement has been raised to 2.4.4, following a
   warning that was added in 6.2.
 
 - Some reworking of the Documentation/process front page to, hopefully,
   make it more useful.
 
 - Various kernel-doc tweaks to, for example, make it deal properly with
   __counted_by annotations.
 
 - We have also restored a warning for documentation of nonexistent
   structure members that disappeared a while back.  That had the delightful
   consequence of adding some 600 warnings to the docs build.  A sustained
   effort by Randy, Vegard, and myself has addressed almost all of those,
   bringing the documentation back into sync with the code.  The fixes are
   going through the appropriate maintainer trees.
 
 - Various improvements to the HTML rendered docs, including automatic links
   to Git revisions and a nice new pulldown to make translations easy to
   access.
 
 - Speaking of translations, more of those for Spanish and Chinese.
 
 ...plus the usual stream of documentation updates and typo fixes.

fb46e22a9e Many singleton patches against the MM code. The patch series which
are included in this merge do the following:
 
 - Peng Zhang has done some mapletree maintainance work in the
   series
 
 	"maple_tree: add mt_free_one() and mt_attr() helpers"
 	"Some cleanups of maple tree"
 
 - In the series "mm: use memmap_on_memory semantics for dax/kmem"
   Vishal Verma has altered the interworking between memory-hotplug
   and dax/kmem so that newly added 'device memory' can more easily
   have its memmap placed within that newly added memory.
 
 - Matthew Wilcox continues folio-related work (including a few
   fixes) in the patch series
 
 	"Add folio_zero_tail() and folio_fill_tail()"
 	"Make folio_start_writeback return void"
 	"Fix fault handler's handling of poisoned tail pages"
 	"Convert aops->error_remove_page to ->error_remove_folio"
 	"Finish two folio conversions"
 	"More swap folio conversions"
 
 - Kefeng Wang has also contributed folio-related work in the series
 
 	"mm: cleanup and use more folio in page fault"
 
 - Jim Cromie has improved the kmemleak reporting output in the
   series "tweak kmemleak report format".
 
 - In the series "stackdepot: allow evicting stack traces" Andrey
   Konovalov to permits clients (in this case KASAN) to cause
   eviction of no longer needed stack traces.
 
 - Charan Teja Kalla has fixed some accounting issues in the page
   allocator's atomic reserve calculations in the series "mm:
   page_alloc: fixes for high atomic reserve caluculations".
 
 - Dmitry Rokosov has added to the samples/ dorectory some sample
   code for a userspace memcg event listener application.  See the
   series "samples: introduce cgroup events listeners".
 
 - Some mapletree maintanance work from Liam Howlett in the series
   "maple_tree: iterator state changes".
 
 - Nhat Pham has improved zswap's approach to writeback in the
   series "workload-specific and memory pressure-driven zswap
   writeback".
 
 - DAMON/DAMOS feature and maintenance work from SeongJae Park in
   the series
 
 	"mm/damon: let users feed and tame/auto-tune DAMOS"
 	"selftests/damon: add Python-written DAMON functionality tests"
 	"mm/damon: misc updates for 6.8"
 
 - Yosry Ahmed has improved memcg's stats flushing in the series
   "mm: memcg: subtree stats flushing and thresholds".
 
 - In the series "Multi-size THP for anonymous memory" Ryan Roberts

0445ee0004 mm/slab, docs: switch mm-api docs generation from slab.c to slub.c
The SLAB implementation is going to be removed, and mm-api.rst currently
uses mm/slab.c to obtain kerneldocs for some API functions. Switch it to
mm/slub.c and move the relevant kerneldocs of exported functions from
one to the other. The rest of kerneldocs in slab.c is for static SLAB
implementation-specific functions that don't have counterparts in slub.c
and thus can be simply removed with the implementation.

cf8e865810 arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architecture
The Itanium architecture is obsolete, and an informal survey [0] reveals
that any residual use of Itanium hardware in production is mostly HP-UX
or OpenVMS based. The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to
enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether
things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some
distro packages that are rarely used in practice.

None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support
any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as
'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers
that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that
matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture
upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel
firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2
reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original
architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it
deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as
Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have
dropped support years ago.

While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common
good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the
Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the
fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on
Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in
the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64
could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is
actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case.

There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is
generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64
but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would
like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue
code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64
be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead
of keeping it supported is real.

So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely.
This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5],
which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known
good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow
once the kernel support is removed.

bd30fe6a7d workqueue: Changes for v6.6
* Unbound workqueues now support more flexible affinity scopes. The default
   behavior is to soft-affine according to last level cache boundaries. A
   work item queued from a given LLC is executed by a worker running on the
   same LLC but the worker may be moved across cache boundaries as the
   scheduler sees fit. On machines which multiple L3 caches, which are
   becoming more popular along with chiplet designs, this improves cache
   locality while not harming work conservation too much.
 
   Unbound workqueues are now also a lot more flexible in terms of execution
   affinity. Differeing levels of affinity scopes are supported and both the
   default and per-workqueue affinity settings can be modified dynamically.
   This should help working around amny of sub-optimal behaviors observed
   recently with asymmetric ARM CPUs.
 
   This involved signficant restructuring of workqueue code. Nothing was
   reported yet but there's some risk of subtle regressions. Should keep an
   eye out.
 
 * Rescuer workers now has more identifiable comms.
 
 * workqueue.unbound_cpus added so that CPUs which can be used by workqueue
   can be constrained early during boot.
 
 * Now that all the in-tree users have been flushed out, trigger warning if
   system-wide workqueues are flushed.
 
 * One pull commit from for-6.5-fixes to avoid cascading conflicts in the
   affinity scope patchset.

4fb0dacb78 sound updates for 6.6-rc1
We've received a fairly wide range of changes at this time, including
 for ALSA and ASoC core, but all of them are rather small changes.
 
 Here are some highlights:
 
 ALSA / ASoC Core:
 - Fixes of inconsistent locking around control API helpers
 - A few new control API functions and cleanups
 - Workarounds for potential UAFs by delayed kobj releases
 - Unified PCM copy ops with iov_iter
 - Continued efforts for ASoC API cleanups
 
 ASoC:
 - An adaptor to allow use of IIO DACs and ADCs in ASoC which pulls in
   some IIO changes
 - Create a library function for intlog10() and use it in the NAU8825
   driver
 - Convert drivers to use the more modern maple tree register cache
 - Lots of work on the SOF framework, AMD and Intel drivers, including a
   lot of cleanup and new device support
 - Standardization of the presentation of jacks from drivers
 - Provision of some generic sound card DT properties
 - Support for AMD Van Gogh, AMD machines with MAX98388 and NAU8821,
   AWInic AW88261, Cirrus Logic CS35L36 and CS42L43, various Intel
   platforms including AVS machines with ES8336 and RT5663, Mediatek
   MT7986, NXP i.MX93, RealTek RT1017 and StarFive JH7110
 
 Others:
 - New test coverage including ASoC and topology tests in KUnit;
   this also involves enabling UML builds of ALSA since that's the
   default KUnit test environment which pulls in the addition of some
   stubs to the driver
 - More enhancement of pcmtest driver
 - A few fixes / enhancements of MIDI 2.0 UMP core
 - Using PCI definitions in allover HD-audio code
 - Support for Cirrus CS35L56 and TI TAS2781 HD-audio sub-codecs
 - CS35L41 HD-audio sub-codec improvements
 - Continued emu10k1 improvements

   - Create a library function for intlog10() and use it in the NAU8825
     driver
   - Convert drivers to use the more modern maple tree register cache
   - Lots of work on the SOF framework, AMD and Intel drivers, including
     a lot of cleanup and new device support
   - Standardization of the presentation of jacks from drivers
   - Provision of some generic sound card DT properties
   - Support for AMD Van Gogh, AMD machines with MAX98388 and NAU8821,

     platforms including AVS machines with ES8336 and RT5663, Mediatek
     MT7986, NXP i.MX93, RealTek RT1017 and StarFive JH7110

  Others:
   - New test coverage including ASoC and topology tests in KUnit; this
     also involves enabling UML builds of ALSA since that's the default
     KUnit test environment which pulls in the addition of some stubs to
     the driver
   - More enhancement of pcmtest driver
   - A few fixes / enhancements of MIDI 2.0 UMP core
   - Using PCI definitions in allover HD-audio code
   - Support for Cirrus CS35L56 and TI TAS2781 HD-audio sub-codecs

    pressure.
 
  - Remove hard coded limitation on IPv6 specific info placement
    inside the socket struct.
 
  - Get rid of sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale and use an auto-estimated
    per socket scaling factor.
 
  - Scaling-up the IPv6 expired route GC via a separated list of
    expiring routes.
 
  - In-kernel support for the TLS alert protocol.
 
  - Better support for UDP reuseport with connected sockets.
 
  - Add NEXT-C-SID support for SRv6 End.X behavior, reducing the SR
    header size.
 
  - Get rid of additional ancillary per MPTCP connection struct socket.
 
  - Implement support for BPF-based MPTCP packet schedulers.
 
  - Format MPTCP subtests selftests results in TAP.
 
  - Several new SMC 2.1 features including unique experimental options,
    max connections per lgr negotiation, max links per lgr negotiation.
 
 BPF
 ---
 
  - Multi-buffer support in AF_XDP.
 
  - Add multi uprobe BPF links for attaching multiple uprobes
    and usdt probes, which is significantly faster and saves extra fds.
 
  - Implement an fd-based tc BPF attach API (TCX) and BPF link support on
    top of it.
 
  - Add SO_REUSEPORT support for TC bpf_sk_assign.
 
  - Support new instructions from cpu v4 to simplify the generated code and
    feature completeness, for x86, arm64, riscv64.
 
  - Support defragmenting IPv(4|6) packets in BPF.
 
  - Teach verifier actual bounds of bpf_get_smp_processor_id()
    and fix perf+libbpf issue related to custom section handling.
 
  - Introduce bpf map element count and enable it for all program types.
 
  - Add a BPF hook in sys_socket() to change the protocol ID
    from IPPROTO_TCP to IPPROTO_MPTCP to cover migration for legacy.
 
  - Introduce bpf_me_mcache_free_rcu() and fix OOM under stress.
 
  - Add uprobe support for the bpf_get_func_ip helper.
 
  - Check skb ownership against full socket.
 
  - Support for up to 12 arguments in BPF trampoline.
 
  - Extend link_info for kprobe_multi and perf_event links.
 
 Netfilter
 ---------
 
  - Speed-up process exit by aborting ruleset validation if a
    fatal signal is pending.
 
  - Allow NLA_POLICY_MASK to be used with BE16/BE32 types.
 
 Driver API
 ----------
 
  - Page pool optimizations, to improve data locality and cache usage.
 
  - Introduce ndo_hwtstamp_get() and ndo_hwtstamp_set() to avoid the need
    for raw ioctl() handling in drivers.
 
  - Simplify genetlink dump operations (doit/dumpit) providing them
    the common information already populated in struct genl_info.
 
  - Extend and use the yaml devlink specs to [re]generate the split ops.
 
  - Introduce devlink selective dumps, to allow SF filtering SF based on
    handle and other attributes.
 
  - Add yaml netlink spec for netlink-raw families, allow route, link and
    address related queries via the ynl tool.
 
  - Remove phylink legacy mode support.

88a6f89944 crash: memory and CPU hotplug sysfs attributes
Introduce the crash_hotplug attribute for memory and CPUs for use by
userspace.  These attributes directly facilitate the udev rule for
managing userspace re-loading of the crash kernel upon hot un/plug
changes.

For memory, expose the crash_hotplug attribute to the
/sys/devices/system/memory directory.  For example:

 # udevadm info --attribute-walk /sys/devices/system/memory/memory81
  looking at device '/devices/system/memory/memory81':
    KERNEL=="memory81"
    SUBSYSTEM=="memory"
    DRIVER==""
    ATTR{online}=="1"
    ATTR{phys_device}=="0"
    ATTR{phys_index}=="00000051"
    ATTR{removable}=="1"
    ATTR{state}=="online"
    ATTR{valid_zones}=="Movable"

  looking at parent device '/devices/system/memory':
    KERNELS=="memory"
    SUBSYSTEMS==""
    DRIVERS==""
    ATTRS{auto_online_blocks}=="offline"
    ATTRS{block_size_bytes}=="8000000"
    ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1"

For CPUs, expose the crash_hotplug attribute to the
/sys/devices/system/cpu directory. For example:

 # udevadm info --attribute-walk /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0
  looking at device '/devices/system/cpu/cpu0':
    KERNEL=="cpu0"
    SUBSYSTEM=="cpu"
    DRIVER=="processor"
    ATTR{crash_notes}=="277c38600"
    ATTR{crash_notes_size}=="368"
    ATTR{online}=="1"

  looking at parent device '/devices/system/cpu':
    KERNELS=="cpu"
    SUBSYSTEMS==""
    DRIVERS==""
    ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1"
    ATTRS{isolated}==""
    ATTRS{kernel_max}=="8191"
    ATTRS{nohz_full}=="  (null)"
    ATTRS{offline}=="4-7"
    ATTRS{online}=="0-3"
    ATTRS{possible}=="0-7"
    ATTRS{present}=="0-3"

With these sysfs attributes in place, it is possible to efficiently
instruct the udev rule to skip crash kernel reloading for kernels
configured with crash hotplug support.

For example, the following is the proposed udev rule change for RHEL
system 98-kexec.rules (as the first lines of the rule file):

 # The kernel updates the crash elfcorehdr for CPU and memory changes
 SUBSYSTEM=="cpu", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end"
 SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end"

When examined in the context of 98-kexec.rules, the above rules test if
crash_hotplug is set, and if so, the userspace initiated
unload-then-reload of the crash kernel is skipped.

CPU and memory checks are separated in accordance with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
and CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG kernel config options.  If an architecture
supports, for example, memory hotplug but not CPU hotplug, then the
/sys/devices/system/memory/crash_hotplug attribute file is present, but
the /sys/devices/system/cpu/crash_hotplug attribute file will NOT be
present.  Thus the udev rule skips userspace processing of memory hot
un/plug events, but the udev rule will evaluate false for CPU events, thus
allowing userspace to process CPU hot un/plug events (ie the
unload-then-reload of the kdump capture kernel).

but most of it is going into the miscellaneous documentation section to
be organised later.

Some files aren't ready to be included; they contain documentation with
build errors.  Or they're nommu.c which duplicates documentation from
"real" MMU systems.  Those files are noted with a # mark (although really
anything which isn't a recognised directive would do to prevent inclusion)

7dbf15c5c0 workqueue: Add "Affinity Scopes and Performance" section to documentation
With affinity scopes and their strictness setting added, unbound workqueues
should now be able to cover wide variety of configurations and use cases.
Unfortunately, the performance picture is not entirely straight-forward due
to a trade-off between efficiency and work-conservation in some situations
necessitating manual configuration.

This patch adds "Affinity Scopes and Performance" section to
Documentation/core-api/workqueue.rst which illustrates the trade-off with a
set of experiments and provides some guidelines.

8639ecebc9 workqueue: Implement non-strict affinity scope for unbound workqueues
An unbound workqueue can be served by multiple worker_pools to improve
locality. The segmentation is achieved by grouping CPUs into pods. By
default, the cache boundaries according to cpus_share_cache() define the
CPUs are grouped. Let's a workqueue is allowed to run on all CPUs and the
system has two L3 caches. The workqueue would be mapped to two worker_pools
each serving one L3 cache domains.

While this improves locality, because the pod boundaries are strict, it
limits the total bandwidth a given issuer can consume. For example, let's
say there is a thread pinned to a CPU issuing enough work items to saturate
the whole machine. With the machine segmented into two pods, no matter how
many work items it issues, it can only use half of the CPUs on the system.

While this limitation has existed for a very long time, it wasn't very
pronounced because the affinity grouping used to be always by NUMA nodes.
With cache boundaries as the default and support for even finer grained
scopes (smt and cpu), it is now an a lot more pressing problem.

This patch implements non-strict affinity scope where the pod boundaries
aren't enforced strictly. Going back to the previous example, the workqueue
would still be mapped to two worker_pools; however, the affinity enforcement
would be soft. The workers in both pools would have their cpus_allowed set
to the whole machine thus allowing the scheduler to migrate them anywhere on
the machine. However, whenever an idle worker is woken up, the workqueue
code asks the scheduler to bring back the task within the pod if the worker
is outside. ie. work items start executing within its affinity scope but can
be migrated outside as the scheduler sees fit. This removes the hard cap on
utilization while maintaining the benefits of affinity scopes.

After the earlier ->__pod_cpumask changes, the implementation is pretty
simple. When non-strict which is the new default:

* pool_allowed_cpus() returns @pool->attrs->cpumask instead of
  ->__pod_cpumask so that the workers are allowed to run on any CPU that
  the associated workqueues allow.

* If the idle worker task's ->wake_cpu is outside the pod, kick_pool() sets
  the field to a CPU within the pod.

This would be the first use of task_struct->wake_cpu outside scheduler
proper, so it isn't clear whether this would be acceptable. However, other
methods of migrating tasks are significantly more expensive and are likely
prohibitively so if we want to do this on every work item. This needs
discussion with scheduler folks.

There is also a race window where setting ->wake_cpu wouldn't be effective
as the target task is still on CPU. However, the window is pretty small and
this being a best-effort optimization, it doesn't seem to warrant more
complexity at the moment.

While the non-strict cache affinity scopes seem to be the best option, the
performance picture interacts with the affinity scope and is a bit
complicated to fully discuss in this patch, so the behavior is made easily
selectable through wqattrs and sysfs and the next patch will add
documentation to discuss performance implications.

v2: pool->attrs->affn_strict is set to true for per-cpu worker_pools.

63c5484e74 workqueue: Add multiple affinity scopes and interface to select them
Add three more affinity scopes - WQ_AFFN_CPU, SMT and CACHE - and make CACHE
the default. The code changes to actually add the additional scopes are
trivial.

Also add module parameter "workqueue.default_affinity_scope" to override the
default scope and "affinity_scope" sysfs file to configure it per workqueue.
wq_dump.py and documentations are updated accordingly.

This enables significant flexibility in configuring how unbound workqueues
behave. If affinity scope is set to "cpu", it'll behave close to a per-cpu
workqueue. On the other hand, "system" removes all locality boundaries.

Many modern machines have multiple L3 caches often while being mostly
uniform in terms of memory access. Thus, workqueue's previous behavior of
spreading work items in each NUMA node had negative performance implications
from unncessarily crossing L3 boundaries between issue and execution.
However, picking a finer grained affinity scope also has a downside in that
an issuer in one group can't utilize CPUs in other groups.

While dependent on the specifics of workload, there's usually a noticeable
penalty in crossing L3 boundaries, so let's default to CACHE. This issue
will be further addressed and documented with examples in future patches.

7f7dc377a3 workqueue: Add tools/workqueue/wq_dump.py which prints out workqueue configuration
Lack of visibility has always been a pain point for workqueues. While the
recently added wq_monitor.py improved the situation, it's still difficult to
understand what worker pools are active in the system, how workqueues map to
them and why. The lack of visibility into how workqueues are configured is
going to become more noticeable as workqueue improves locality awareness and
provides more mechanisms to customize locality related behaviors.

Now that the basic framework for more flexible locality support is in place,
this is a good time to improve the situation. This patch adds
tools/workqueues/wq_dump.py which prints out the topology configuration,
worker pools and how workqueues are mapped to pools. Read the command's help
message for more details.

636b927eba workqueue: Make unbound workqueues to use per-cpu pool_workqueues
A pwq (pool_workqueue) represents an association between a workqueue and a
worker_pool. When a work item is queued, the workqueue selects the pwq to
use, which in turn determines the pool, and queues the work item to the pool
through the pwq. pwq is also what implements the maximum concurrency limit -
@max_active.

As a per-cpu workqueue should be assocaited with a different worker_pool on
each CPU, it always had per-cpu pwq's that are accessed through wq->cpu_pwq.
However, unbound workqueues were sharing a pwq within each NUMA node by
default. The sharing has several downsides:

* Because @max_active is per-pwq, the meaning of @max_active changes
  depending on the machine configuration and whether workqueue NUMA locality
  support is enabled.

* Makes per-cpu and unbound code deviate.

* Gets in the way of making workqueue CPU locality awareness more flexible.

This patch makes unbound workqueues use per-cpu pwq's the same way per-cpu
workqueues do by making the following changes:

* wq->numa_pwq_tbl[] is removed and unbound workqueues now use wq->cpu_pwq
  just like per-cpu workqueues. wq->cpu_pwq is now RCU protected for unbound
  workqueues.

* numa_pwq_tbl_install() is renamed to install_unbound_pwq() and installs
  the specified pwq to the target CPU's wq->cpu_pwq.

* apply_wqattrs_prepare() now always allocates a separate pwq for each CPU
  unless the workqueue is ordered. If ordered, all CPUs use wq->dfl_pwq.
  This makes the return value of wq_calc_node_cpumask() unnecessary. It now
  returns void.

* @max_active now means the same thing for both per-cpu and unbound
  workqueues. WQ_UNBOUND_MAX_ACTIVE now equals WQ_MAX_ACTIVE and
  documentation is updated accordingly. WQ_UNBOUND_MAX_ACTIVE is no longer
  used in workqueue implementation and will be removed later.

* All unbound pwq operations which used to be per-numa-node are now per-cpu.

For most unbound workqueue users, this shouldn't cause noticeable changes.
Work item issue and completion will be a small bit faster, flush_workqueue()
would become a bit more expensive, and the total concurrency limit would
likely become higher. All @max_active==1 use cases are currently being
audited for conversion into alloc_ordered_workqueue() and they shouldn't be
affected once the audit and conversion is complete.

One area where the behavior change may be more noticeable is
workqueue_congested() as the reported congestion state is now per CPU
instead of NUMA node. There are only two users of this interface -
drivers/infiniband/hw/hfi1 and net/smc. Maintainers of both subsystems are
cc'd. Inputs on the behavior change would be very much appreciated.
