irq_work: Fix racy IRQ_WORK_BUSY flag setting

The IRQ_WORK_BUSY flag is set right before we execute the
work. Once this flag value is set, the work enters a
claimable state again.

So if we have specific data to compute in our work, we ensure it's
either handled by another CPU or locally by enqueuing the work again.
This state machine is guanranteed by atomic operations on the flags.

So when we set IRQ_WORK_BUSY without using an xchg-like operation,
we break this guarantee as in the following summarized scenario:

        CPU 1                                   CPU 2
        -----                                   -----
                                                (flags = 0)
                                                old_flags = flags;
        (flags = 0)
        cmpxchg(flags, old_flags,
                old_flags | IRQ_WORK_FLAGS)
        (flags = 3)
        [...]
        flags = IRQ_WORK_BUSY
        (flags = 2)
        func()
                                                (sees flags = 3)
                                                cmpxchg(flags, old_flags,
                                                        old_flags | IRQ_WORK_FLAGS)
                                                (give up)

        cmpxchg(flags, 2, 0);
        (flags = 0)

CPU 1 claims a work and executes it, so it sets IRQ_WORK_BUSY and
the work is again in a claimable state. Now CPU 2 has new data to process
and try to claim that work but it may see a stale value of the flags
and think the work is still pending somewhere that will handle our data.
This is because CPU 1 doesn't set IRQ_WORK_BUSY atomically.

As a result, the data expected to be handle by CPU 2 won't get handled.

To fix this, use xchg() to set IRQ_WORK_BUSY, this way we ensure the CPU 2
will see the correct value with cmpxchg() using the expected ordering.

irq_work: Fix racy check on work pending flag

Work claiming wants to be SMP-safe.

And by the time we try to claim a work, if it is already executing
concurrently on another CPU, we want to succeed the claiming and queue
the work again because the other CPU may have missed the data we wanted
to handle in our work if it's about to complete there.

This scenario is summarized below:

        CPU 1                                   CPU 2
        -----                                   -----
        (flags = 0)
        cmpxchg(flags, 0, IRQ_WORK_FLAGS)
        (flags = 3)
        [...]
        xchg(flags, IRQ_WORK_BUSY)
        (flags = 2)
        func()
                                                if (flags & IRQ_WORK_PENDING)
                                                        (not true)
                                                cmpxchg(flags, flags, IRQ_WORK_FLAGS)
                                                (flags = 3)
                                                [...]
        cmpxchg(flags, IRQ_WORK_BUSY, 0);
        (fail, pending on CPU 2)

This state machine is synchronized using [cmp]xchg() on the flags.
As such, the early IRQ_WORK_PENDING check in CPU 2 above is racy.
By the time we check it, we may be dealing with a stale value because
we aren't using an atomic accessor. As a result, CPU 2 may "see"
that the work is still pending on another CPU while it may be
actually completing the work function exection already, leaving
our data unprocessed.

To fix this, we start by speculating about the value we wish to be
in the work->flags but we only make any conclusion after the value
returned by the cmpxchg() call that either claims the work or let
the current owner handle the pending work for us.

irq_work: Flush work on CPU_DYING

In order not to offline a CPU with pending irq works, flush the
queue from CPU_DYING. The notifier is called by stop_machine on
the CPU that is going down. The code will not be called from irq context
(so things like get_irq_regs() wont work) but I'm not sure what the
requirements are for irq_work in that regard (Peter?). But irqs are
disabled and the CPU is about to go offline. Might as well flush the work.

irq_work: Warn if there's still work on cpu_down

If we are in nohz and there's still irq_work to be done when the idle
task is about to go offline, give a nasty warning. Everything should
have been flushed from the CPU_DYING notifier already. Further attempts
to enqueue an irq_work are buggy because irqs are disabled by
__cpu_disable(). The best we can do is to report the issue to the user.

irq_work: Make self-IPIs optable

On irq work initialization, let the user choose to define it
as "lazy" or not. "Lazy" means that we don't want to send
an IPI (provided the arch can anyway) when we enqueue this
work but we rather prefer to wait for the next timer tick
to execute our work if possible.

This is going to be a benefit for non-urgent enqueuers
(like printk in the future) that may prefer not to raise
an IPI storm in case of frequent enqueuing on short periods
of time.

printk: Wake up klogd using irq_work

klogd is woken up asynchronously from the tick in order
to do it safely.

However if printk is called when the tick is stopped, the reader
won't be woken up until the next interrupt, which might not fire
for a while. As a result, the user may miss some message.

To fix this, lets implement the printk tick using a lazy irq work.
This subsystem takes care of the timer tick state and can
fix up accordingly.

perf tools: Fix mmap limitations on 32-bit

This is a suggested patch to fix the bug I reported at:

	http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=135033028924652&w=2

Essentially, there is a hard requirement that when perf analyzes a
trace, it must have the entire thing mmap()'d.

Therefore the scheme used on 32-bit where we have a fixed (8) number of
32MB mmaps, and cycle through them, simply does not work.

One of the reasons this requirement exists is because the iterators
maintain references to perf entry objects and those references don't
just simply go away when this mmap code decides to cycle an old mmap
area out and reuse it.  At this point, those entry pointers now point to
garbage resulting in unpredictable behavior and crashes.

It is better to try to mmap() as much as we can and if we do actually
run into address space limitations, the failure of the mmap() call will
indicate that and stop processing.

I noticed that perf_session->mmap_window is set to a constant in one
location, and only used in one other location.  So I got rid of it
altogether.

So we adjust the size of the mmaps[] array to the maximum we could need.
On 64-bit we only need one slot.  On 32-bit we could need up to 128 (128
* 32MB == 4GB).

I've verified that this allows a large (~600MB) perf.data file to be
analyzed properly with a 32-bit perf binary, which previously was not
possible.
