Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Core:
- Overhaul of posix-timers in preparation of removing the workaround
for periodic timers which have signal delivery ignored.
- Remove the historical extra jiffie in msleep()
msleep() adds an extra jiffie to the timeout value to ensure
minimal sleep time. The timer wheel ensures minimal sleep time
since the large rewrite to a non-cascading wheel, but the extra
jiffie in msleep() remained unnoticed. Remove it.
- Make the timer slack handling correct for realtime tasks.
The procfs interface is inconsistent and does neither reflect
reality nor conforms to the man page. Show the correct 0 slack for
real time tasks and enforce it at the core level instead of having
inconsistent individual checks in various timer setup functions.
- The usual set of updates and enhancements all over the place.
Drivers:
- Allow the ACPI PM timer to be turned off during suspend
- No new drivers
- The usual updates and enhancements in various drivers"

If a core is offline then enabling SMT should not online CPUs of
this core. By enabling SMT, what is intended is either changing the SMT
value from "off" to "on" or setting the SMT level (threads per core) from a
lower to higher value.
On PowerPC the ppc64_cpu utility can be used, among other things, to
perform the following functions:
ppc64_cpu --cores-on # Get the number of online cores
ppc64_cpu --cores-on=X # Put exactly X cores online
ppc64_cpu --offline-cores=X[,Y,...] # Put specified cores offline
ppc64_cpu --smt={on|off|value} # Enable, disable or change SMT level
If the user has decided to offline certain cores, enabling SMT should
not online CPUs in those cores. This patch fixes the issue and changes
the behaviour as described, by introducing an arch specific function
topology_is_core_online(). It is currently implemented only for PowerPC.

Whenever CPU hotplug state callbacks are registered, the startup callback
is invoked on CPUs that have already reached the provided state in order of
ascending CPU IDs.
In freeze_secondary_cpus() the teardown of CPUs happens in the same are
invoked in the same order. This is known to make a difference is the
current implementation of these callbacks in arch/x86/events/intel/uncore.c:
- uncore_event_cpu_online() designates the first CPU it is invoked for
on each package as the uncore event collector for that package
- uncore_event_cpu_offline() if the CPU being offlined is the event
collector for its package, transfers that responsibility over to
the next (by ascending CPU id) one in the same package
With the current order of CPU teardowns in freeze_secondary_cpus(), the
latter ends up doing the ownership transfer work on every single CPU. That
work involves a synchronize_rcu() call, ultimately unnecessarily degrading
the performance of CPU offlining.
To address this make freeze_secondary_cpus() iterate through the CPUs in
reverse order, so that the teardown happens in order of descending CPU IDs.

Explicitly disallow enabling mitigations at runtime for kernels that were
built with CONFIG_CPU_MITIGATIONS=n, as some architectures may omit code
entirely if mitigations are disabled at compile time.
E.g. on x86, a large pile of Kconfigs are buried behind CPU_MITIGATIONS,
and trying to provide sane behavior for retroactively enabling mitigations
is extremely difficult, bordering on impossible. E.g. page table isolation
and call depth tracking require build-time support, BHI mitigations will
still be off without additional kernel parameters, etc.

Rename x86's to CPU_MITIGATIONS, define it in generic code, and force it
on for all architectures exception x86. A recent commit to turn
mitigations off by default if SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS=n kinda sorta
missed that "cpu_mitigations" is completely generic, whereas
SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS is x86-specific.
Rename x86's SPECULATIVE_MITIGATIONS instead of keeping both and have it
select CPU_MITIGATIONS, as having two configs for the same thing is
unnecessary and confusing. This will also allow x86 to use the knob to
manage mitigations that aren't strictly related to speculative
execution.
Use another Kconfig to communicate to common code that CPU_MITIGATIONS
is already defined instead of having x86's menu depend on the common
CPU_MITIGATIONS. This allows keeping a single point of contact for all
of x86's mitigations, and it's not clear that other architectures *want*
to allow disabling mitigations at compile-time.

Since commit 3a5a6d0c2b03("cpuset: don't nest cgroup_mutex inside
get_online_cpus()"), cpuset hotplug was done asynchronously via a work
function. This is to avoid recursive locking of cgroup_mutex.
Since then, the cgroup locking scheme has changed quite a bit. A
cpuset_mutex was introduced to protect cpuset specific operations.
The cpuset_mutex is then replaced by a cpuset_rwsem. With commit
d74b27d63a ("cgroup/cpuset: Change cpuset_rwsem and hotplug lock
order"), cpu_hotplug_lock is acquired before cpuset_rwsem. Later on,
cpuset_rwsem is reverted back to cpuset_mutex. All these locking changes
allow the hotplug code to call into cpuset core directly.
The following commits were also merged due to the asynchronous nature
of cpuset hotplug processing.
- commit b22afcdf04 ("cpu/hotplug: Cure the cpusets trainwreck")
- commit 50e7663233 ("sched/cpuset/pm: Fix cpuset vs. suspend-resume
bugs")
- commit 28b89b9e6f ("cpuset: handle race between CPU hotplug and
cpuset_hotplug_work")
Clean up all these bandages by making cpuset hotplug
processing synchronous again with the exception that the call to
cgroup_transfer_tasks() to transfer tasks out of an empty cgroup v1
cpuset, if necessary, will still be done via a work function due to the
existing cgroup_mutex -> cpu_hotplug_lock dependency. It is possible
to reverse that dependency, but that will require updating a number of
different cgroup controllers. This special hotplug code path should be
rarely taken anyway.
As all the cpuset states will be updated by the end of the hotplug
operation, we can revert most the above commits except commit
50e7663233 ("sched/cpuset/pm: Fix cpuset vs. suspend-resume bugs")
which is partially reverted. Also removing some cpus_read_lock trylock
attempts in the cpuset partition code as they are no longer necessary
since the cpu_hotplug_lock is now held for the whole duration of the
cpuset hotplug code path.

Pull x86 APIC updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Rework of APIC enumeration and topology evaluation.
The current implementation has a couple of shortcomings:
- It fails to handle hybrid systems correctly.
- The APIC registration code which handles CPU number assignents is
in the middle of the APIC code and detached from the topology
evaluation.
- The various mechanisms which enumerate APICs, ACPI, MPPARSE and
guest specific ones, tweak global variables as they see fit or in
case of XENPV just hack around the generic mechanisms completely.
- The CPUID topology evaluation code is sprinkled all over the vendor
code and reevaluates global variables on every hotplug operation.
- There is no way to analyze topology on the boot CPU before bringing
up the APs. This causes problems for infrastructure like PERF which
needs to size certain aspects upfront or could be simplified if
that would be possible.
- The APIC admission and CPU number association logic is
incomprehensible and overly complex and needs to be kept around
after boot instead of completing this right after the APIC
enumeration.
This update addresses these shortcomings with the following changes:
- Rework the CPUID evaluation code so it is common for all vendors
and provides information about the APIC ID segments in a uniform
way independent of the number of segments (Thread, Core, Module,
..., Die, Package) so that this information can be computed instead
of rewriting global variables of dubious value over and over.
- A few cleanups and simplifcations of the APIC, IO/APIC and related
interfaces to prepare for the topology evaluation changes.
- Seperation of the parser stages so the early evaluation which tries
to find the APIC address can be seperately overridden from the late
evaluation which enumerates and registers the local APIC as further
preparation for sanitizing the topology evaluation.
- A new registration and admission logic which
- encapsulates the inner workings so that parsers and guest logic
cannot longer fiddle in it
- uses the APIC ID segments to build topology bitmaps at
registration time
- provides a sane admission logic
- allows to detect the crash kernel case, where CPU0 does not run
on the real BSP, automatically. This is required to prevent
sending INIT/SIPI sequences to the real BSP which would reset
the whole machine. This was so far handled by a tedious command
line parameter, which does not even work in nested crash
scenarios.
- Associates CPU number after the enumeration completed and
prevents the late registration of APICs, which was somehow
tolerated before.
- Converting all parsers and guest enumeration mechanisms over to the
new interfaces.
This allows to get rid of all global variable tweaking from the
parsers and enumeration mechanisms and sanitizes the XEN[PV]
handling so it can use CPUID evaluation for the first time.
- Mopping up existing sins by taking the information from the APIC ID
segment bitmaps.
This evaluates hybrid systems correctly on the boot CPU and allows
for cleanups and fixes in the related drivers, e.g. PERF.
The series has been extensively tested and the minimal late fallout
due to a broken ACPI/MADT table has been addressed by tightening the
admission logic further"

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A large set of updates and features for timers and timekeeping:
- The hierarchical timer pull model
When timer wheel timers are armed they are placed into the timer
wheel of a CPU which is likely to be busy at the time of expiry.
This is done to avoid wakeups on potentially idle CPUs.
This is wrong in several aspects:
1) The heuristics to select the target CPU are wrong by
definition as the chance to get the prediction right is
close to zero.
2) Due to #1 it is possible that timers are accumulated on
a single target CPU
3) The required computation in the enqueue path is just overhead
for dubious value especially under the consideration that the
vast majority of timer wheel timers are either canceled or
rearmed before they expire.
The timer pull model avoids the above by removing the target
computation on enqueue and queueing timers always on the CPU on
which they get armed.
This is achieved by having separate wheels for CPU pinned timers
and global timers which do not care about where they expire.
As long as a CPU is busy it handles both the pinned and the global
timers which are queued on the CPU local timer wheels.
When a CPU goes idle it evaluates its own timer wheels:
- If the first expiring timer is a pinned timer, then the global
timers can be ignored as the CPU will wake up before they
expire.
- If the first expiring timer is a global timer, then the expiry
time is propagated into the timer pull hierarchy and the CPU
makes sure to wake up for the first pinned timer.
The timer pull hierarchy organizes CPUs in groups of eight at the
lowest level and at the next levels groups of eight groups up to
the point where no further aggregation of groups is required, i.e.
the number of levels is log8(NR_CPUS). The magic number of eight
has been established by experimention, but can be adjusted if
needed.
In each group one busy CPU acts as the migrator. It's only one CPU
to avoid lock contention on remote timer wheels.
The migrator CPU checks in its own timer wheel handling whether
there are other CPUs in the group which have gone idle and have
global timers to expire. If there are global timers to expire, the
migrator locks the remote CPU timer wheel and handles the expiry.
Depending on the group level in the hierarchy this handling can
require to walk the hierarchy downwards to the CPU level.
Special care is taken when the last CPU goes idle. At this point
the CPU is the systemwide migrator at the top of the hierarchy and
it therefore cannot delegate to the hierarchy. It needs to arm its
own timer device to expire either at the first expiring timer in
the hierarchy or at the first CPU local timer, which ever expires
first.
This completely removes the overhead from the enqueue path, which
is e.g. for networking a true hotpath and trades it for a slightly
more complex idle path.
This has been in development for a couple of years and the final
series has been extensively tested by various teams from silicon
vendors and ran through extensive CI.
There have been slight performance improvements observed on network
centric workloads and an Intel team confirmed that this allows them
to power down a die completely on a mult-die socket for the first
time in a mostly idle scenario.
There is only one outstanding ~1.5% regression on a specific
overloaded netperf test which is currently investigated, but the
rest is either positive or neutral performance wise and positive on
the power management side.
- Fixes for the timekeeping interpolation code for cross-timestamps:
cross-timestamps are used for PTP to get snapshots from hardware
timers and interpolated them back to clock MONOTONIC. The changes
address a few corner cases in the interpolation code which got the
math and logic wrong.
- Simplifcation of the clocksource watchdog retry logic to
automatically adjust to handle larger systems correctly instead of
having more incomprehensible command line parameters.
- Treewide consolidation of the VDSO data structures.
- The usual small improvements and cleanups all over the place"

bringup_nonboot_cpus() gets passed the 'setup_max_cpus'
variable in init/main.c - which is also the name of the parameter,
shadowing the name.
To reduce confusion and to allow the 'setup_max_cpus' value
to be #defined in the <linux/smp.h> header, use the 'max_cpus'
name for the function parameter name.
