9a15193e23 smpboot: use atomic_try_cmpxchg in cpu_wait_death and cpu_report_death
Use atomic_try_cmpxchg instead of atomic_cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old
in cpu_wait_death and cpu_report_death.  x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns
success in ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg (and
related move instruction in front of cmpxchg).  Also, atomic_try_cmpxchg
implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old" when cmpxchg fails, enabling
further code simplifications.

No functional change intended.

c7dfb2591b cpu/hotplug: Allow the CPU in CPU_UP_PREPARE state to be brought up again.
A CPU will not show up in virtualized environment which includes an
Enclave. The VM splits its resources into a primary VM and a Enclave
VM. While the Enclave is active, the hypervisor will ignore all requests to
bring up a CPU and this CPU will remain in CPU_UP_PREPARE state.

The kernel will wait up to ten seconds for CPU to show up (do_boot_cpu())
and then rollback the hotplug state back to CPUHP_OFFLINE leaving the CPU
state in CPU_UP_PREPARE. The CPU state is set back to CPUHP_TEARDOWN_CPU
during the CPU_POST_DEAD stage.

After the Enclave VM terminates, the primary VM can bring up the CPU
again.

Allow to bring up the CPU if it is in the CPU_UP_PREPARE state.

844d87871b smpboot: Replace deprecated CPU-hotplug functions.
The functions get_online_cpus() and put_online_cpus() have been
deprecated during the CPU hotplug rework. They map directly to
cpus_read_lock() and cpus_read_unlock().

Replace deprecated CPU-hotplug functions with the official version.
The behavior remains unchanged.

a1833a5403 smpboot: fix duplicate and misplaced inlining directive
gcc doesn't care, but clang quite reasonably pointed out that the recent
commit e9ba16e68c ("smpboot: Mark idle_init() as __always_inlined to
work around aggressive compiler un-inlining") did some really odd
things:

    kernel/smpboot.c:50:20: warning: duplicate 'inline' declaration specifier [-Wduplicate-decl-specifier]
    static inline void __always_inline idle_init(unsigned int cpu)
                       ^

which not only has that duplicate inlining specifier, but the new
__always_inline was put in the wrong place of the function definition.

We put the storage class specifiers (ie things like "static" and
"extern") first, and the type information after that.  And while the
compiler may not care, we put the inline specifier before the types.

So it should be just

    static __always_inline void idle_init(unsigned int cpu)

instead.

e9ba16e68c smpboot: Mark idle_init() as __always_inlined to work around aggressive compiler un-inlining
While this function is a static inline, and is only used once in
local scope, certain Kconfig variations may cause it to be compiled
as a standalone function:

  89231bf0 <idle_init>:
  89231bf0:       83 05 60 d9 45 89 01    addl   $0x1,0x8945d960
  89231bf7:       55                      push   %ebp

Resulting in this build failure:

  WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text.unlikely+0x7fd5): Section mismatch in reference from the function idle_init() to the function .init.text:fork_idle()
  The function idle_init() references
  the function __init fork_idle().
  This is often because idle_init lacks a __init
  annotation or the annotation of fork_idle is wrong.
  ERROR: modpost: Section mismatches detected.

Certain USBSAN options x86-32 builds with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y
seem to be causing this.

So mark idle_init() as __always_inline to work around this compiler
bug/feature.

f1a0a376ca sched/core: Initialize the idle task with preemption disabled
As pointed out by commit

  de9b8f5dcb ("sched: Fix crash trying to dequeue/enqueue the idle thread")

init_idle() can and will be invoked more than once on the same idle
task. At boot time, it is invoked for the boot CPU thread by
sched_init(). Then smp_init() creates the threads for all the secondary
CPUs and invokes init_idle() on them.

As the hotplug machinery brings the secondaries to life, it will issue
calls to idle_thread_get(), which itself invokes init_idle() yet again.
In this case it's invoked twice more per secondary: at _cpu_up(), and at
bringup_cpu().

Given smp_init() already initializes the idle tasks for all *possible*
CPUs, no further initialization should be required. Now, removing
init_idle() from idle_thread_get() exposes some interesting expectations
with regards to the idle task's preempt_count: the secondary startup always
issues a preempt_disable(), requiring some reset of the preempt count to 0
between hot-unplug and hotplug, which is currently served by
idle_thread_get() -> idle_init().

Given the idle task is supposed to have preemption disabled once and never
see it re-enabled, it seems that what we actually want is to initialize its
preempt_count to PREEMPT_DISABLED and leave it there. Do that, and remove
init_idle() from idle_thread_get().

Secondary startups were patched via coccinelle:

  @begone@
  @@

  -preempt_disable();
  ...
  cpu_startup_entry(CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_IDLE);

ac687e6e8c kthread: Extract KTHREAD_IS_PER_CPU
There is a need to distinguish geniune per-cpu kthreads from kthreads
that happen to have a single CPU affinity.

Geniune per-cpu kthreads are kthreads that are CPU affine for
correctness, these will obviously have PF_KTHREAD set, but must also
have PF_NO_SETAFFINITY set, lest userspace modify their affinity and
ruins things.

However, these two things are not sufficient, PF_NO_SETAFFINITY is
also set on other tasks that have their affinities controlled through
other means, like for instance workqueues.

Therefore another bit is needed; it turns out kthread_create_per_cpu()
already has such a bit: KTHREAD_IS_PER_CPU, which is used to make
kthread_park()/kthread_unpark() work correctly.

Expose this flag and remove the implicit setting of it from
kthread_create_on_cpu(); the io_uring usage of it seems dubious at
best.

0d85923c7a smpboot/threads, watchdog/core: Avoid runtime allocation
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.

a65d40961d kthread/smpboot: do not park in kthread_create_on_cpu()
kthread_create_on_cpu() was added by the commit 2a1d446019
("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().

be6a2e4c46 Revert "sched/core: Do not use smp_processor_id() with preempt enabled in smpboot_thread_fn()"
This reverts commit 4fa5cd5245.

The original change widens a preempt-off section, to avoid a seemingly unsafe
smp_processor_id() use.

During review I overlooked two facts:

 - The code to calls a non-trivial function callback:

                                ht->park(td->cpu);

   ... which might (and does occasionally) sleep, triggering the warning.

 - More importantly, as pointed out by Peter Zijlstra, using
   smp_processor_id() in that context is safe, if it's done from
   a kernel thread that is pinned to a single CPU - which is the
   case here.

So revert to the original code that enables preemption sooner.

c00166d87e stop_machine: Kill smp_hotplug_thread->pre_unpark, introduce stop_machine_unpark()
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.

3dd08c0c91 smpboot: make cleanup to mirror setup
The per-cpu kthread cleanup() callback is the mirror of the setup()
callback.  When the per-cpu kthread is started, it first calls setup()
to initialize the resources which are then released by cleanup() when
the kthread exits.

Now since the introduction of a per-cpu kthread cpumask, the kthreads
excluded by the cpumask on boot may happen to be parked immediately
after their creation without taking the setup() stage, waiting to be
asked to unpark to do so.  Then when smpboot_unregister_percpu_thread()
is later called, the kthread is stopped without having ever called
setup().

But this triggers a bug as the kthread unconditionally calls cleanup()
on exit but this doesn't mirror any setup().  Thus the kernel crashes
because we try to free resources that haven't been initialized, as in
the watchdog case:

    WATCHDOG disable 0
    WATCHDOG disable 1
    WATCHDOG disable 2
    BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at           (null)
    IP: hrtimer_active+0x26/0x60
    [...]
    Call Trace:
      hrtimer_try_to_cancel+0x1c/0x280
      hrtimer_cancel+0x1d/0x30
      watchdog_disable+0x56/0x70
      watchdog_cleanup+0xe/0x10

      kthread+0xf8/0x110
      ret_from_fork+0x3f/0x70

This bug is currently masked with explicit kthread unparking before
kthread_stop() on smpboot_destroy_threads(). This forces a call to
setup() and then unpark().

We could fix this by unconditionally calling setup() on kthread entry.
But setup() isn't always cheap.  In the case of watchdog it launches
hrtimer, perf events, etc...  So we may as well like to skip it if there
are chances the kthread will never be used, as in a reduced cpumask value.

So let's simply do a state machine check before calling cleanup() that
makes sure setup() has been called before mirroring it.

And remove the nasty hack workaround.

fe4ba3c343 watchdog: add watchdog_cpumask sysctl to assist nohz
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.

b5242e98c1 smpboot: allow excluding cpus from the smpboot threads
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.

8038dad7e8 smpboot: Add common code for notification from dying CPU
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 2ed53c0d6c 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.

4bee96860a smpboot: Add missing get_online_cpus() in smpboot_register_percpu_thread()
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
        optimization and therefor not stable material. ]
