Pull timer fix from Ingo Molnar:
"Fix a sporadic missed timer hw reprogramming bug that can result in
random delays"
* 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
tick/nohz: Fix possible missing clock reprog after tick soft restart
ts->next_tick keeps track of the next tick deadline in order to optimize
clock programmation on irq exit and avoid redundant clock device writes.
Now if ts->next_tick missed an update, we may spuriously miss a clock
reprog later as the nohz code is fooled by an obsolete next_tick value.
This is what happens here on a specific path: when we observe an
expired timer from the nohz update code on irq exit, we perform a soft
tick restart which simply fires the closest possible tick without
actually exiting the nohz mode and restoring a periodic state. But we
forget to update ts->next_tick accordingly.
As a result, after the next tick resulting from such soft tick restart,
the nohz code sees a stale value on ts->next_tick which doesn't match
the clock deadline that just expired. If that obsolete ts->next_tick
value happens to collide with the actual next tick deadline to be
scheduled, we may spuriously bypass the clock reprogramming. In the
worst case, the tick may never fire again.
Fix this with a ts->next_tick reset on soft tick restart.

That's happening because each printk() call now gets printed on its own
line, and we do a separate call to print the spaces before the symbol.
Fix it by doing the printk() directly instead of using the
print_ip_sym() helper.
Additionally, the symbol address isn't very helpful, so let's get rid of
that, too. The final result looks like this:

tracing/kprobes: Fix __init annotation
The modversion symbol CRCs are emitted as ELF symbols, which allows us
to easily populate the kcrctab sections by relying on the linker to
associate each kcrctab slot with the correct value.
This has a couple of downsides:
- Given that the CRCs are treated as memory addresses, we waste 4 bytes
for each CRC on 64 bit architectures,
- On architectures that support runtime relocation, a R_<arch>_RELATIVE
relocation entry is emitted for each CRC value, which identifies it
as a quantity that requires fixing up based on the actual runtime
load offset of the kernel. This results in corrupted CRCs unless we
explicitly undo the fixup (and this is currently being handled in the
core module code)
- Such runtime relocation entries take up 24 bytes of __init space
each, resulting in a x8 overhead in [uncompressed] kernel size for
CRCs.
Switching to explicit 32 bit values on 64 bit architectures fixes most
of these issues, given that 32 bit values are not treated as quantities
that require fixing up based on the actual runtime load offset. Note
that on some ELF64 architectures [such as PPC64], these 32-bit values
are still emitted as [absolute] runtime relocatable quantities, even if
the value resolves to a build time constant. Since relative relocations
are always resolved at build time, this patch enables MODULE_REL_CRCS on
powerpc when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, which turns the absolute CRC
references into relative references into .rodata where the actual CRC
value is stored.
So redefine all CRC fields and variables as u32, and redefine the
__CRC_SYMBOL() macro for 64 bit builds to emit the CRC reference using
inline assembler (which is necessary since 64-bit C code cannot use
32-bit types to hold memory addresses, even if they are ultimately
resolved using values that do not exceed 0xffffffff). To avoid
potential problems with legacy 32-bit architectures using legacy
toolchains, the equivalent C definition of the kcrctab entry is retained
for 32-bit architectures.
Note that this mostly reverts commit d4703aefdb ("module: handle ppc64
relocating kcrctabs when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y")

The hwlat tracer creates a kernel thread at start of the tracer. It is
pinned to a single CPU and will move to the next CPU after each period of
running. If the user modifies the migration thread's affinity, it will not
change after that happens.
The original code created the thread at the first instance it was called,
but later was changed to destroy the thread after the tracer was finished,
and would not be created until the next instance of the tracer was
established. The code that initialized the affinity was only called on the
initial instantiation of the tracer. After that, it was not initialized, and
the previous affinity did not match the current newly created one, making
it appear that the user modified the thread's affinity when it did not, and
the thread failed to migrate again.

Since commit f3b0946d62 ("genirq/msi: Make sure PCI MSIs are
activated early"), we can end-up activating a PCI/MSI twice (once
at allocation time, and once at startup time).
This is normally of no consequences, except that there is some
HW out there that may misbehave if activate is used more than once
(the GICv3 ITS, for example, uses the activate callback
to issue the MAPVI command, and the architecture spec says that
"If there is an existing mapping for the EventID-DeviceID
combination, behavior is UNPREDICTABLE").
While this could be worked around in each individual driver, it may
make more sense to tackle the issue at the core level. In order to
avoid getting in that situation, let's have a per-interrupt flag
to remember if we have already activated that interrupt or not.

perf has additional overhead when monitoring the task which
frequently generates child tasks.
perf_init_event() is one of the hotspots for the additional overhead:
Currently, to get the PMU, it tries to search the type in pmu_idr at
first. But it is not always successful, especially for the widely used
PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE and PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE events. So it has to go to the
slow path which go through the whole PMUs list.
It will be a big performance issue, if the PMUs list is long (e.g. server
with many uncore boxes) and the task frequently generates child tasks.
The child event inherits its parent event. So the child event should
try its parent PMU first.
Here is some data from the overhead test on Broadwell server:
perf record -e $TEST_EVENTS -- ./loop.sh 50000
loop.sh
start=$(date +%s%N)
i=0
while [ "$i" -le "$1" ]
do
date > /dev/null
i=`expr $i + 1`
done
end=$(date +%s%N)
elapsed=`expr $end - $start`

This patch follows from a conversation in CQM/CMT's last series about
speeding up the context switch for cgroup events:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9478617/
This is a low-hanging fruit optimization. It replaces the iteration over
the "pmus" list in cgroup switch by an iteration over a new list that
contains only cpuctxs with at least one cgroup event.
This is necessary because the number of PMUs have increased over the years
e.g modern x86 server systems have well above 50 PMUs.
The iteration over the full PMU list is unneccessary and can be costly in
heavy cache contention scenarios.
Below are some instrumentation measurements with 10, 50 and 90 percentiles
of the total cost of context switch before and after this optimization for
a simple array read/write microbenchark.
Contention
Level Nr events Before (us) After (us) Median
L2 L3 types (10%, 50%, 90%) (10%, 50%, 90% Speedup
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Low Low 1 (1.72, 2.42, 5.85) (1.35, 1.64, 5.46) 29%
High Low 1 (2.08, 4.56, 19.8) (1720, 2.20, 13.7) 51%
High High 1 (2.86, 10.4, 12.7) (2.54, 4.32, 12.1) 58%
Low Low 2 (1.98, 3.20, 6.89) (1.68, 2.41, 8.89) 24%
High Low 2 (2.48, 5.28, 22.4) (2150, 3.69, 14.6) 30%
High High 2 (3.32, 8.09, 13.9) (2.80, 5.15, 13.7) 36%
where:
1 event type = cycles
2 event types = cycles,intel_cqm/llc_occupancy/
Contention L2 Low: workset < L2 cache size.
High: " >> L2 " " .
Contention L3 Low: workset of task on all sockets < L3 cache size.
High: " " " " " " >> L3 " " .
Median Speedup is (50%ile Before - 50%ile After) / 50%ile Before
Unsurprisingly, the benefits of this optimization decrease with the number
of cpuctxs with a cgroup events, yet, is never detrimental.
