Pull watchddog clean-up and fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"The watchdog (hard/softlockup detector) code is pretty much broken in
its current state. The patch series addresses this by removing all
duct tape and refactoring it into a workable state.
The reasons why I ask for inclusion that late in the cycle are:
1) The code causes lockdep splats vs. hotplug locking which get
reported over and over. Unfortunately there is no easy fix.
2) The risk of breakage is minimal because it's already broken
3) As 4.14 is a long term stable kernel, I prefer to have working
watchdog code in that and the lockdep issues resolved. I wouldn't
ask you to pull if 4.14 wouldn't be a LTS kernel or if the
solution would be easy to backport.
4) The series was around before the merge window opened, but then got
delayed due to the UP failure caused by the for_each_cpu()
surprise which we discussed recently.
Changes vs. V1:
- Addressed your review points
- Addressed the warning in the powerpc code which was discovered late
- Changed two function names which made sense up to a certain point
in the series. Now they match what they do in the end.
- Fixed a 'unused variable' warning, which got not detected by the
intel robot. I triggered it when trying all possible related config
combinations manually. Randconfig testing seems not random enough.
The changes have been tested by and reviewed by Don Zickus and tested
and acked by Micheal Ellerman for powerpc"

Add a sysfs file to one-time fail a specific state. This can be used
to test the state rollback code paths.
Something like this (hotplug-up.sh):
#!/bin/bash
echo 0 > /debug/sched_debug
echo 1 > /debug/tracing/events/cpuhp/enable
ALL_STATES=`cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/hotplug/states | cut -d':' -f1`
STATES=${1:-$ALL_STATES}
for state in $STATES
do
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
echo 0 > /debug/tracing/trace
echo Fail state: $state
echo $state > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/hotplug/fail
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/hotplug/fail
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
cat /debug/tracing/trace > hotfail-${state}.trace
sleep 1
done
Can be used to test for all possible rollback (barring multi-instance)
scenarios on CPU-up, CPU-down is a trivial modification of the above.

While the generic callback functions have an 'int' return and thus
appear to be allowed to return error, this is not true for all states.
Specifically, what used to be STARTING/DYING are ran with IRQs
disabled from critical parts of CPU bringup/teardown and are not
allowed to fail. Add WARNs to enforce this rule.
But since some callbacks are indeed allowed to fail, we have the
situation where a state-machine rollback encounters a failure, in this
case we're stuck, we can't go forward and we can't go back. Also add a
WARN for that case.
AFAICT this is a fundamental 'problem' with no real obvious solution.
We want the 'prepare' callbacks to allow failure on either up or down.
Typically on prepare-up this would be things like -ENOMEM from
resource allocations, and the typical usage in prepare-down would be
something like -EBUSY to avoid CPUs being taken away.

There is currently no explicit state change on rollback. That is,
st->bringup, st->rollback and st->target are not consistent when doing
the rollback.
Rework the AP state handling to be more coherent. This does mean we
have to do a second AP kick-and-wait for rollback, but since rollback
is the slow path of a slowpath, this really should not matter.
Take this opportunity to simplify the AP thread function to only run a
single callback per invocation. This unifies the three single/up/down
modes is supports. The looping it used to do for up/down are achieved
by retaining should_run and relying on the main smpboot_thread_fn()
loop.
(I have most of a patch that does the same for the BP state handling,
but that's not critical and gets a little complicated because
CPUHP_BRINGUP_CPU does the AP handoff from a callback, which gets
recursive @st usage, I still have de-fugly that.)

The following deadlock is possible in the watchdog hotplug code:
cpus_write_lock()
...
takedown_cpu()
smpboot_park_threads()
smpboot_park_thread()
kthread_park()
->park() := watchdog_disable()
watchdog_nmi_disable()
perf_event_release_kernel();
put_event()
_free_event()
->destroy() := hw_perf_event_destroy()
x86_release_hardware()
release_ds_buffers()
get_online_cpus()
when a per cpu watchdog perf event is destroyed which drops the last
reference to the PMU hardware. The cleanup code there invokes
get_online_cpus() which instantly deadlocks because the hotplug percpu
rwsem is write locked.
To solve this add a deferring mechanism:
cpus_write_lock()
kthread_park()
watchdog_nmi_disable(deferred)
perf_event_disable(event);
move_event_to_deferred(event);
....
cpus_write_unlock()
cleaup_deferred_events()
perf_event_release_kernel()
This is still properly serialized against concurrent hotplug via the
cpu_add_remove_lock, which is held by the task which initiated the hotplug
event.
This is also used to handle event destruction when the watchdog threads are
parked via other mechanisms than CPU hotplug.

Pull CPU hotplug fix from Thomas Gleixner:
"A single fix to handle the removal of the first dynamic CPU hotplug
state correctly"
* 'smp-hotplug-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
smp/hotplug: Handle removal correctly in cpuhp_store_callbacks()
RCU callbacks must be migrated away from an outgoing CPU, and this is
done near the end of the CPU-hotplug operation, after the outgoing CPU is
long gone. Unfortunately, this means that other CPU-hotplug callbacks
can execute while the outgoing CPU's callbacks are still immobilized
on the long-gone CPU's callback lists. If any of these CPU-hotplug
callbacks must wait, either directly or indirectly, for the invocation
of any of the immobilized RCU callbacks, the system will hang.
This commit avoids such hangs by migrating the callbacks away from the
outgoing CPU immediately upon its departure, shortly after the return
from __cpu_die() in takedown_cpu(). Thus, RCU is able to advance these
callbacks and invoke them, which allows all the after-the-fact CPU-hotplug
callbacks to wait on these RCU callbacks without risk of a hang.
While in the neighborhood, this commit also moves rcu_send_cbs_to_orphanage()
and rcu_adopt_orphan_cbs() under a pre-existing #ifdef to avoid including
dead code on the one hand and to avoid define-without-use warnings on the
other hand.

If cpuhp_store_callbacks() is called for CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN or
CPUHP_BP_PREPARE_DYN, which are the indicators for dynamically allocated
states, then cpuhp_store_callbacks() allocates a new dynamic state. The
first allocation in each range returns CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN or
CPUHP_BP_PREPARE_DYN.
If cpuhp_remove_state() is invoked for one of these states, then there is
no protection against the allocation mechanism. So the removal, which
should clear the callbacks and the name, gets a new state assigned and
clears that one.
As a consequence the state which should be cleared stays initialized. A
consecutive CPU hotplug operation dereferences the state callbacks and
accesses either freed or reused memory, resulting in crashes.
Add a protection against this by checking the name argument for NULL. If
it's NULL it's a removal. If not, it's an allocation.

The move of the unpark functions to the control thread moved the BUG_ON()
there as well. While it made some sense in the idle thread of the upcoming
CPU, it's bogus to crash the control thread on the already online CPU,
especially as the function has a return value and the callsite is prepared
to handle an error return.
Replace it with a WARN_ON_ONCE() and return a proper error code.

Vikram reported the following backtrace:

He analyzed correctly that a parked cpu hotplug thread of an offlined CPU
was still on the runqueue when the CPU came back online and tried to unpark
it. This causes the thread which invoked kthread_unpark() to call
wait_task_inactive() and subsequently schedule() with preemption disabled.
His proposed workaround was to "make sure" that a parked thread has
scheduled out when the CPU goes offline, so the situation cannot happen.
But that's still wrong because the root cause is not the fact that the
percpu thread is still on the runqueue and neither that preemption is
disabled, which could be simply solved by enabling preemption before
calling kthread_unpark().
The real issue is that the calling thread is the idle task of the upcoming
CPU, which is not supposed to call anything which might sleep. The moron,
who wrote that code, missed completely that kthread_unpark() might end up
in schedule().
The solution is simpler than expected. The thread which controls the
hotplug operation is waiting for the CPU to call complete() on the hotplug
state completion. So the idle task of the upcoming CPU can set its state to
CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_IDLE and invoke complete(). This in turn wakes the control
task on a different CPU, which then can safely do the unpark and kick the
now unparked hotplug thread of the upcoming CPU to complete the bringup to
the final target state.

Pull SMP hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"This update is primarily a cleanup of the CPU hotplug locking code.
The hotplug locking mechanism is an open coded RWSEM, which allows
recursive locking. The main problem with that is the recursive nature
as it evades the full lockdep coverage and hides potential deadlocks.
The rework replaces the open coded RWSEM with a percpu RWSEM and
establishes full lockdep coverage that way.
The bulk of the changes fix up recursive locking issues and address
the now fully reported potential deadlocks all over the place. Some of
these deadlocks have been observed in the RT tree, but on mainline the
probability was low enough to hide them away."

If a CPU goes offline, interrupts affine to the CPU are moved away. If the
outgoing CPU is the last CPU in the affinity mask the migration code breaks
the affinity and sets it it all online cpus.
This is a problem for affinity managed interrupts as CPU hotplug is often
used for power management purposes. If the affinity is broken, the
interrupt is not longer affine to the CPUs to which it was allocated.
The affinity spreading allows to lay out multi queue devices in a way that
they are assigned to a single CPU or a group of CPUs. If the last CPU goes
offline, then the queue is not longer used, so the interrupt can be
shutdown gracefully and parked until one of the assigned CPUs comes online
again.
Add a graceful shutdown mechanism into the irq affinity breaking code path,
mark the irq as MANAGED_SHUTDOWN and leave the affinity mask unmodified.
In the online path, scan the active interrupts for managed interrupts and
if the interrupt is functional and the newly online CPU is part of the
affinity mask, restart the interrupt if it is marked MANAGED_SHUTDOWN or if
the interrupts is started up, try to add the CPU back to the effective
affinity mask.
