Pull CSD lock update from Paul McKenney:
"This adds a kernel boot parameter that causes the kernel to panic if
one of the call_smp_function() APIs is stalled for more than the
specified duration.
This is useful in deployments in which a clean panic is preferable to
an indefinite stall"
* tag 'csd-lock.2023.10.23a' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu:
smp,csd: Throw an error if a CSD lock is stuck for too long
The CSD lock seems to get stuck in 2 "modes". When it gets stuck
temporarily, it usually gets released in a few seconds, and sometimes
up to one or two minutes.
If the CSD lock stays stuck for more than several minutes, it never
seems to get unstuck, and gradually more and more things in the system
end up also getting stuck.
In the latter case, we should just give up, so the system can dump out
a little more information about what went wrong, and, with panic_on_oops
and a kdump kernel loaded, dump a whole bunch more information about what
might have gone wrong. In addition, there is an smp.panic_on_ipistall
kernel boot parameter that by default retains the old behavior, but when
set enables the panic after the CSD lock has been stuck for more than
the specified number of milliseconds, as in 300,000 for five minutes.

call_single_data_t is a size-aligned typedef of struct __call_single_data.
This alignment is desirable in order to have smp_call_function*() avoid
bouncing an extra cacheline in case of an unaligned csd, given this
would hurt performance.
Since the removal of struct request->csd in commit 660e802c76
("blk-mq: use percpu csd to remote complete instead of per-rq csd") there
are no current users of smp_call_function*() with unaligned csd.
Change every 'struct __call_single_data' function parameter to
'call_single_data_t', so we have warnings if any new code tries to
introduce an smp_call_function*() call with unaligned csd.

On systems with hundreds of CPUs, if most of the CPUs detect a CSD hang,
then all of these waiting CPUs send an NMI to the destination CPU in
order to dump its backtrace.
Given enough NMIs, the destination CPU will spent much of its time
producing backtraces, thus further delaying that CPU's response to the
original CSD IPI. In the worst case, by the time destination CPU is
done producing all of these backtrace NMIs, the CSD wait timeout will
have elapsed so that the waiters resend their backtrace NMIs again,
further delaying forward progress.
Therefore, to avoid these delays, issue the backtrace NMI only from
the first waiter. The destination CPU's other waiters can make use of
backtrace obtained from the first waiter's NMI.

If a waiter is waiting for CSD lock, its call stack will not change
between first and subsequent hang detection for the same CSD lock.
Therefore, do dump_stack only for first-time detection for a given waiter.
This avoids excessive logging on systems with hundreds of CPUs where
repetitive dump_stack from hundreds of CPUs would otherwise flood the
console.

Add a tracepoint for when a CSD is queued to a remote CPU's

when looking at a csd_function_{entry,exit} event, and also enables us to

The recently added ipi_send_{cpu,cpumask} tracepoints allow finding sources
of IPIs targeting CPUs running latency-sensitive applications.
For NOHZ_FULL CPUs, all IPIs are interference, and those tracepoints are
sufficient to find them and work on getting rid of them. In some setups
however, not *all* IPIs are to be suppressed, but long-running IPI
callbacks can still be problematic.
Add a pair of tracepoints to mark the start and end of processing a CSD IPI
callback, similar to what exists for softirq, workqueue or timer callbacks.

(Ab)use the trace_ipi_send_cpu*() family to trace all
smp_function_call*() invocations, not only those that result in an
actual IPI.
The queued entries log their callback function while the actual IPIs
are traced on generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt().
Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org>
Context
=======
The newly-introduced ipi_send_cpumask tracepoint has a "callback" parameter
which so far has only been fed with NULL.
While CSD_TYPE_SYNC/ASYNC and CSD_TYPE_IRQ_WORK share a similar backing
struct layout (meaning their callback func can be accessed without caring
about the actual CSD type), CSD_TYPE_TTWU doesn't even have a function
attached to its struct. This means we need to check the type of a CSD
before eventually dereferencing its associated callback.
This isn't as trivial as it sounds: the CSD type is stored in
__call_single_node.u_flags, which get cleared right before the callback is
executed via csd_unlock(). This implies checking the CSD type before it is
enqueued on the call_single_queue, as the target CPU's queue can be flushed
before we get to sending an IPI.
Furthermore, send_call_function_single_ipi() only has a CPU parameter, and
would need to have an additional argument to trickle down the invoked
function. This is somewhat silly, as the extra argument will always be
pushed down to the function even when nothing is being traced, which is
unnecessary overhead.
Changes
=======
send_call_function_single_ipi() is only used by smp.c, and is defined in
sched/core.c as it contains scheduler-specific ops (set_nr_if_polling() of
a CPU's idle task).
Split it into two parts: the scheduler bits remain in sched/core.c, and the
actual IPI emission is moved into smp.c. This lets us define an
__always_inline helper function that can take the related callback as
parameter without creating useless register pressure in the non-traced path
which only gains a (disabled) static branch.
Do the same thing for the multi IPI case.

send_call_function_single_ipi() is the thing that sends IPIs at the bottom
of smp_call_function*() via either generic_exec_single() or
smp_call_function_many_cond(). Give it an IPI-related tracepoint.
Note that this ends up tracing any IPI sent via __smp_call_single_queue(),
which covers __ttwu_queue_wakelist() and irq_work_queue_on() "for free".

It is currently possible to set the csdlock_debug_enabled static
branch, but not to reset it. This is an issue when several different
entities supply kernel boot parameters and also for kernels built with
CONFIG_CSD_LOCK_WAIT_DEBUG_DEFAULT=y.
Therefore, make the csdlock_debug=0 kernel boot parameter turn off
debugging. Last one wins!

where it is more closely associated with boot loaders or automation than

1 when selected and 0 otherwise, with this latter being the default.

Pull bitmap updates from Yury Norov:
- Fix unsigned comparison to -1 in CPUMAP_FILE_MAX_BYTES (Phil Auld)
- cleanup nr_cpu_ids vs nr_cpumask_bits mess (me)
This series cleans that mess and adds new config FORCE_NR_CPUS that
allows to optimize cpumask subsystem if the number of CPUs is known
at compile-time.
- optimize find_bit() functions (me)
Reworks find_bit() functions based on new FIND_{FIRST,NEXT}_BIT()
macros.
- add find_nth_bit() (me)
Adds find_nth_bit(), which is ~70 times faster than bitcounting with
for_each() loop:
for_each_set_bit(bit, mask, size)
if (n-- == 0)
return bit;
Also adds bitmap_weight_and() to let people replace this pattern:
tmp = bitmap_alloc(nbits);
bitmap_and(tmp, map1, map2, nbits);
weight = bitmap_weight(tmp, nbits);
bitmap_free(tmp);
with a single bitmap_weight_and() call.
- repair cpumask_check() (me)
After switching cpumask to use nr_cpu_ids, cpumask_check() started
generating many false-positive warnings. This series fixes it.
- Add for_each_cpu_andnot() and for_each_cpu_andnot() (Valentin
Schneider)
Extends the API with one more function and applies it in sched/core.

The size of cpumasks is hard-limited by compile-time parameter NR_CPUS,
but defined at boot-time when kernel parses ACPI/DT tables, and stored in
nr_cpu_ids. In many practical cases, number of CPUs for a target is known
at compile time, and can be provided with NR_CPUS.
In that case, compiler may be instructed to rely on NR_CPUS as on actual
number of CPUs, not an upper limit. It allows to optimize many cpumask
routines and significantly shrink size of the kernel image.
This patch adds FORCE_NR_CPUS option to teach the compiler to rely on
NR_CPUS and enable corresponding optimizations.
If FORCE_NR_CPUS=y, kernel will not set nr_cpu_ids at boot, but only check
that the actual number of possible CPUs is equal to NR_CPUS, and WARN if
that doesn't hold.
The new option is especially useful in embedded applications because
kernel configurations are unique for each SoC, the number of CPUs is
constant and known well, and memory limitations are typically harder.
For my 4-CPU ARM64 build with NR_CPUS=4, FORCE_NR_CPUS=y saves 46KB:
add/remove: 3/4 grow/shrink: 46/729 up/down: 652/-46952 (-46300)

The trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() function attempts to send an NMI to the
target CPU, which usually provides much better stack traces than the
dump_cpu_task() function's approach of dumping that stack from some other
CPU. So much so that most calls to dump_cpu_task() only happen after
a call to trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() has failed. And the exception to
this rule really should attempt to use trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() first.
Therefore, move the trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() invocation into
dump_cpu_task().

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.
