rcu: Yield simpler

The rcu_yield() code is amazing. It's there to avoid starvation of the
system when lots of (boosting) work is to be done.

Now looking at the code it's functionality is:

 Make the thread SCHED_OTHER and very nice, i.e. get it out of the way
 Arm a timer with 2 ticks
 schedule()

Now if the system goes idle the rcu task returns, regains SCHED_FIFO
and plugs on. If the systems stays busy the timer fires and wakes a
per node kthread which in turn makes the per cpu thread SCHED_FIFO and
brings it back on the cpu. For the boosting thread the "make it FIFO"
bit is missing and it just runs some magic boost checks. Now this is a
lot of code with extra threads and complexity.

It's way simpler to let the tasks when they detect overload schedule
away for 2 ticks and defer the normal wakeup as long as they are in
yielded state and the cpu is not idle.

That solves the same problem and the only difference is that when the
cpu goes idle it's not guaranteed that the thread returns right away,
but it won't be longer out than two ticks, so no harm is done. If
that's an issue than it is way simpler just to wake the task from
idle as RCU has callbacks there anyway.

rcu: Add a module parameter to force use of expedited RCU primitives

There have been some embedded applications that would benefit from
use of expedited grace-period primitives.  In some ways, this is
similar to synchronize_net() doing either a normal or an expedited
grace period depending on lock state, but with control outside of
the kernel.

This commit therefore adds rcu_expedited boot and sysfs parameters
that cause the kernel to substitute expedited primitives for the
normal grace-period primitives.

rcu: Make RCU_FAST_NO_HZ account for pauses out of idle

Both Steven Rostedt's new idle-capable trace macros and the RCU_NONIDLE()
macro can cause RCU to momentarily pause out of idle without the rest
of the system being involved.  This can cause rcu_prepare_for_idle()
to run through its state machine too quickly, which can in turn result
in needless scheduling-clock interrupts.

This commit therefore adds code to enable rcu_prepare_for_idle() to
distinguish between an initial entry to idle on the one hand (which needs
to advance the rcu_prepare_for_idle() state machine) and an idle reentry
due to idle-capable trace macros and RCU_NONIDLE() on the other hand
(which should avoid advancing the rcu_prepare_for_idle() state machine).
Additional state is maintained to allow the timer to be correctly reposted
when returning after a momentary pause out of idle, and even more state
is maintained to detect when new non-lazy callbacks have been enqueued
(which may require re-evaluation of the approach to idleness).

rcu: Add warning for RCU_FAST_NO_HZ timer firing

RCU_FAST_NO_HZ uses a timer to limit the time that a CPU with callbacks
can remain in dyntick-idle mode.  This timer is cancelled when the CPU
exits idle, and therefore should never fire.  However, if the timer
were migrated to some other CPU for whatever reason (1) the timer could
actually fire and (2) firing on some other CPU would fail to wake up the
CPU with callbacks, possibly resulting in sluggishness or a system hang.

This commit therfore adds a WARN_ON_ONCE() to the timer handler in order
to detect this condition.

rcu: Ensure that RCU_FAST_NO_HZ timers expire on correct CPU

Timers are subject to migration, which can lead to the following
system-hang scenario when CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ=y:

1.	CPU 0 executes synchronize_rcu(), which posts an RCU callback.

2.	CPU 0 then goes idle.  It cannot immediately invoke the callback,
	but there is nothing RCU needs from ti, so it enters dyntick-idle
	mode after posting a timer.

3.	The timer gets migrated to CPU 1.

4.	CPU 0 never wakes up, so the synchronize_rcu() never returns, so
	the system hangs.

This commit fixes this problem by using mod_timer_pinned(), as suggested
by Peter Zijlstra, to ensure that the timer is actually posted on the
running CPU.

rcu: Make exit_rcu() more precise and consolidate

When running preemptible RCU, if a task exits in an RCU read-side
critical section having blocked within that same RCU read-side critical
section, the task must be removed from the list of tasks blocking a
grace period (perhaps the current grace period, perhaps the next grace
period, depending on timing).  The exit() path invokes exit_rcu() to
do this cleanup.

However, the current implementation of exit_rcu() needlessly does the
cleanup even if the task did not block within the current RCU read-side
critical section, which wastes time and needlessly increases the size
of the state space.  Fix this by only doing the cleanup if the current
task is actually on the list of tasks blocking some grace period.

While we are at it, consolidate the two identical exit_rcu() functions
into a single function.

rcu: Make RCU_FAST_NO_HZ handle timer migration

The current RCU_FAST_NO_HZ assumes that timers do not migrate unless a
CPU goes offline, in which case it assumes that the CPU will have to come
out of dyntick-idle mode (cancelling the timer) in order to go offline.
This is important because when RCU_FAST_NO_HZ permits a CPU to enter
dyntick-idle mode despite having RCU callbacks pending, it posts a timer
on that CPU to force a wakeup on that CPU.  This wakeup ensures that the
CPU will eventually handle the end of the grace period, including invoking
its RCU callbacks.

However, Pascal Chapperon's test setup shows that the timer handler
rcu_idle_gp_timer_func() really does get invoked in some cases.  This is
problematic because this can cause the CPU that entered dyntick-idle
mode despite still having RCU callbacks pending to remain in
dyntick-idle mode indefinitely, which means that its RCU callbacks might
never be invoked.  This situation can result in grace-period delays or
even system hangs, which matches Pascal's observations of slow boot-up
and shutdown (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/5/142).  See also the bugzilla:

	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=806548

This commit therefore causes the "should never be invoked" timer handler
rcu_idle_gp_timer_func() to use smp_call_function_single() to wake up
the CPU for which the timer was intended, allowing that CPU to invoke
its RCU callbacks in a timely manner.

rcu: Make rcu_barrier() less disruptive

The rcu_barrier() primitive interrupts each and every CPU, registering
a callback on every CPU.  Once all of these callbacks have been invoked,
rcu_barrier() knows that every callback that was registered before
the call to rcu_barrier() has also been invoked.

However, there is no point in registering a callback on a CPU that
currently has no callbacks, most especially if that CPU is in a
deep idle state.  This commit therefore makes rcu_barrier() avoid
interrupting CPUs that have no callbacks.  Doing this requires reworking
the handling of orphaned callbacks, otherwise callbacks could slip through
rcu_barrier()'s net by being orphaned from a CPU that rcu_barrier() had
not yet interrupted to a CPU that rcu_barrier() had already interrupted.
This reworking was needed anyway to take a first step towards weaning
RCU from the CPU_DYING notifier's use of stop_cpu().

rcu: Precompute RCU_FAST_NO_HZ timer offsets

When a CPU is entering dyntick-idle mode, tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick()
calls rcu_needs_cpu() see if RCU needs that CPU, and, if not, computes the
next wakeup time based on the timer wheels.  Only later, when actually
entering the idle loop, rcu_prepare_for_idle() will be invoked.  In some
cases, rcu_prepare_for_idle() will post timers to wake the CPU back up.
But all for naught: The next wakeup time for the CPU has already been
computed, and posting a timer afterwards does not force that wakeup
time to be recomputed.  This means that rcu_prepare_for_idle()'s have
no effect.

This is not a problem on a busy system because something else will wake
up the CPU soon enough.  However, on lightly loaded systems, the CPU
might stay asleep for a considerable length of time.  If that CPU has
a callback that the rest of the system is waiting on, the system might
run very slowly or (in theory) even hang.

This commit avoids this problem by having rcu_needs_cpu() give
tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() an estimate of when RCU will need the CPU
to wake back up, which tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() takes into account
when programming the CPU's wakeup time.  An alternative approach is
for rcu_prepare_for_idle() to use hrtimers instead of normal timers,
but timers are much more efficient than are hrtimers for frequently
and repeatedly posting and cancelling a given timer, which is exactly
what RCU_FAST_NO_HZ does.

This issue was always seen in the context of "ksoftirqd". It seems to
be happening because of a potential race condition in __kthread_parkme
where just after completing the parked completion, before the
ksoftirqd task has been scheduled again, it can go into running state.

Fix this by waiting for the task state to parked after waiting the
parked completion.

kthread_work: wake up worker only when the worker is idle

If the worker is already executing a work item when another is queued,
we can safely skip wakeup without worrying about stalling queue thus
avoiding waking up the busy worker spuriously.  Spurious wakeups
should be fine but still isn't nice and avoiding it is trivial here.

sched: Fix migration thread runtime bogosity

commit 8f6189684eb4e85e6c593cd710693f09c944450a upstream.

Make stop scheduler class do the same accounting as other classes,

Migration threads can be caught in the act while doing exec balancing,
leading to the below due to use of unmaintained ->se.exec_start.  The
load that triggered this particular instance was an apparently out of
control heavily threaded application that does system monitoring in
what equated to an exec bomb, with one of the VERY frequently migrated
tasks being ps.

sched: Fix clear NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK

I have faced a sequence where the Idle Load Balance was sometime not
triggered for a while on my platform, in the following scenario:

 CPU 0 and CPU 1 are running tasks and CPU 2 is idle

 CPU 1 kicks the Idle Load Balance
 CPU 1 selects CPU 2 as the new Idle Load Balancer
 CPU 2 sets NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK for CPU 2
 CPU 2 sends a reschedule IPI to CPU 2

 While CPU 3 wakes up, CPU 0 or CPU 1 migrates a waking up task A on CPU 2

 CPU 2 finally wakes up, runs task A and discards the Idle Load Balance
       task A quickly goes back to sleep (before a tick occurs on CPU 2)
 CPU 2 goes back to idle with NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK set

Whenever CPU 2 will be selected as the ILB, no reschedule IPI will be sent
because NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK is already set and no Idle Load Balance will be
performed.

We must wait for the sched softirq to be raised on CPU 2 thanks to another
part the kernel to come back to clear NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK.

The proposed solution clears NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK in schedule_ipi if
we can't raise the sched_softirq for the Idle Load Balance.

Change since V1:

- move the clear of NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK in got_nohz_idle_kick if the ILB
  can't run on this CPU (as suggested by Peter)

ARM: sched: clear SD_SHARE_POWERLINE

The ARM platforms take advantage of packing small tasks on few cores.
This is true even when the cores of a cluster can't be power gated
independantly. So we clear SD_SHARE_POWERDOMAIN at MC and CPU level.

Use cpu compatibility field and clock-frequency field of DT to

This patch enables to put more running tasks on big cores than
on LITTLE ones. But this patch doesn't ensure that long running
tasks will run on big cores and short ones on LITTLE cores.

from the function init_cpu_topology() to the function
 .init.text:parse_dt_topology()
The function init_cpu_topology() references
the function __init parse_dt_topology().
This is often because init_cpu_topology lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of parse_dt_topology is wrong.

ARM: (Experimental) Provide Estimated CPU Capacity measure

Bsed upon the CPU Power of a core, computes a capacity measure
between 0 and 1024 scaling in line with the frequency using a
simple linear scale derived from the maximum frequency reported
by CPUFreq.

Scaling CPU Power with frequency and estimated capacity gives an
estimate of the amount of potential compute capacity available to
a specific core relative to any other in the system.
