1f3b0f8243 tick/nohz: Optimize nohz idle enter
tick_nohz_start_idle is called before checking whether the idle tick can be
stopped. If the tick cannot be stopped, calling tick_nohz_start_idle() is
pointless and just wasting CPU cycles.

Only invoke tick_nohz_start_idle() when can_stop_idle_tick() returns true. A
short one minute observation of the effect on ARM64 shows a reduction of calls
by 1.5% thus optimizing the idle entry sequence.

When tearing down, call timers_dead_cpu() before notify_dead().
There is a hidden dependency between:

 - timers
 - block multiqueue
 - rcutree

If timers_dead_cpu() comes later than blk_mq_queue_reinit_notify()
that latter function causes a RCU stall.

f00c0afdfa timers: Implement optimization for same expiry time in mod_timer()
The existing optimization for same expiry time in mod_timer() checks whether
the timer expiry time is the same as the new requested expiry time. In the old
timer wheel implementation this does not take the slack batching into account,
neither does the new implementation evaluate whether the new expiry time will
requeue the timer to the same bucket.

To optimize that, we can calculate the resulting bucket and check if the new
expiry time is different from the current expiry time. This calculation
happens outside the base lock held region. If the resulting bucket is the same
we can avoid taking the base lock and requeueing the timer.

If the timer needs to be requeued then we have to check under the base lock
whether the base time has changed between the lockless calculation and taking
the lock. If it has changed we need to recalculate under the lock.

This optimization takes effect for timers which are enqueued into the less
granular wheel levels (1 and above). With a simple test case the functionality
has been verified:

            Before        After
 Match:       5.5%        86.6%
 Requeue:    94.5%        13.4%
 Recalc:                  <0.01%

In the non optimized case the timer is requeued in 94.5% of the cases. With
the index optimization in place the requeue rate drops to 13.4%. The case
where the lockless index calculation has to be redone is less than 0.01%.

With a real world test case (networking) we observed the following changes:

            Before        After
 Match:      97.8%        99.7%
 Requeue:     2.2%         0.3%
 Recalc:                  <0.001%

That means two percent fewer lock/requeue/unlock operations done in one of
the hot path use cases of timers.

a683f390b9 timers: Forward the wheel clock whenever possible
The wheel clock is stale when a CPU goes into a long idle sleep. This has the
side effect that timers which are queued end up in the outer wheel levels.
That results in coarser granularity.

To solve this, we keep track of the idle state and forward the wheel clock
whenever possible.

236968383c timers: Optimize collect_expired_timers() for NOHZ
After a NOHZ idle sleep the timer wheel must be forwarded to current jiffies.
There might be expired timers so the current code loops and checks the expired
buckets for timers. This can take quite some time for long NOHZ idle periods.

The pending bitmask in the timer base allows us to do a quick search for the
next expiring timer and therefore a fast forward of the base time which
prevents pointless long lasting loops.

For a 3 seconds idle sleep this reduces the catchup time from ~1ms to 5us.

500462a9de timers: Switch to a non-cascading wheel
The current timer wheel has some drawbacks:

1) Cascading:

   Cascading can be an unbound operation and is completely pointless in most
   cases because the vast majority of the timer wheel timers are canceled or
   rearmed before expiration. (They are used as timeout safeguards, not as
   real timers to measure time.)

2) No fast lookup of the next expiring timer:

   In NOHZ scenarios the first timer soft interrupt after a long NOHZ period
   must fast forward the base time to the current value of jiffies. As we
   have no way to find the next expiring timer fast, the code loops linearly
   and increments the base time one by one and checks for expired timers
   in each step. This causes unbound overhead spikes exactly in the moment
   when we should wake up as fast as possible.

After a thorough analysis of real world data gathered on laptops,
workstations, webservers and other machines (thanks Chris!) I came to the
conclusion that the current 'classic' timer wheel implementation can be
modified to address the above issues.

The vast majority of timer wheel timers is canceled or rearmed before
expiry. Most of them are timeouts for networking and other I/O tasks. The
nature of timeouts is to catch the exception from normal operation (TCP ack
timed out, disk does not respond, etc.). For these kinds of timeouts the
accuracy of the timeout is not really a concern. Timeouts are very often
approximate worst-case values and in case the timeout fires, we already
waited for a long time and performance is down the drain already.

The few timers which actually expire can be split into two categories:

 1) Short expiry times which expect halfways accurate expiry

 2) Long term expiry times are inaccurate today already due to the
    batching which is done for NOHZ automatically and also via the
    set_timer_slack() API.

So for long term expiry timers we can avoid the cascading property and just
leave them in the less granular outer wheels until expiry or
cancelation. Timers which are armed with a timeout larger than the wheel
capacity are no longer cascaded. We expire them with the longest possible
timeout (6+ days). We have not observed such timeouts in our data collection,
but at least we handle them, applying the rule of the least surprise.

To avoid extending the wheel levels for HZ=1000 so we can accomodate the
longest observed timeouts (5 days in the network conntrack code) we reduce the
first level granularity on HZ=1000 to 4ms, which effectively is the same as
the HZ=250 behaviour. From our data analysis there is nothing which relies on
that 1ms granularity and as a side effect we get better batching and timer
locality for the networking code as well.

Contrary to the classic wheel the granularity of the next wheel is not the
capacity of the first wheel. The granularities of the wheels are in the
currently chosen setting 8 times the granularity of the previous wheel.

So for HZ=250 we end up with the following granularity levels:

 Level Offset   Granularity                  Range
     0      0          4 ms                 0 ms -        252 ms
     1     64         32 ms               256 ms -       2044 ms (256ms - ~2s)
     2    128        256 ms              2048 ms -      16380 ms (~2s   - ~16s)
     3    192       2048 ms (~2s)       16384 ms -     131068 ms (~16s  - ~2m)
     4    256      16384 ms (~16s)     131072 ms -    1048572 ms (~2m   - ~17m)
     5    320     131072 ms (~2m)     1048576 ms -    8388604 ms (~17m  - ~2h)
     6    384    1048576 ms (~17m)    8388608 ms -   67108863 ms (~2h   - ~18h)
     7    448    8388608 ms (~2h)    67108864 ms -  536870911 ms (~18h  - ~6d)

That's a worst case inaccuracy of 12.5% for the timers which are queued at the
beginning of a level.

So the new wheel concept addresses the old issues:

1) Cascading is avoided completely

2) By keeping the timers in the bucket until expiry/cancelation we can track
   the buckets which have timers enqueued in a bucket bitmap and therefore can
   look up the next expiring timer very fast and O(1).

A further benefit of the concept is that the slack calculation which is done
on every timer start is no longer necessary because the granularity levels
provide natural batching already.

Our extensive testing with various loads did not show any performance
degradation vs. the current wheel implementation.

This patch does not address the 'fast lookup' issue as we wanted to make sure
that there is no regression introduced by the wheel redesign. The
optimizations are in follow up patches.

This patch contains fixes from Anna-Maria Gleixner and Richard Cochran.

e675447bda timers: Make 'pinned' a timer property
We want to move the timer migration logic from a 'push' to a 'pull' model.

Under the current 'push' model pinned timers are handled via
a runtime API variant: mod_timer_pinned().

The 'pull' model requires us to store the pinned attribute of a timer
in the timer_list structure itself, as a new TIMER_PINNED bit in
timer->flags.

This flag must be set at initialization time and the timer APIs
recognize the flag.

This patch:

 - Implements the new flag and associated new-style initialization
   methods

 - makes mod_timer() recognize new-style pinned timers,

 - and adds some migration helper facility to allow
   step by step conversion of old-style to new-style
   pinned timers.

Both of these are y2038 safe on all machines, but we want to

b9fdac7f66 debugobjects: insulate non-fixup logic related to static obj from fixup callbacks
When activating a static object we need make sure that the object is
tracked in the object tracker.  If it is a non-static object then the
activation is illegal.

In previous implementation, each subsystem need take care of this in
their fixup callbacks.  Actually we can put it into debugobjects core.
Thus we can save duplicated code, and have *pure* fixup callbacks.

To achieve this, a new callback "is_static_object" is introduced to let
the type specific code decide whether a object is static or not.  If
yes, we take it into object tracker, otherwise give warning and invoke
fixup callback.

This change has paassed debugobjects selftest, and I also do some test
with all debugobjects supports enabled.

At last, I have a concern about the fixups that can it change the object
which is in incorrect state on fixup? Because the 'addr' may not point
to any valid object if a non-static object is not tracked.  Then Change
such object can overwrite someone's memory and cause unexpected
behaviour.  For example, the timer_fixup_activate bind timer to function
stub_timer.

a1cc5bcfcf locking/atomics: Flip atomic_fetch_or() arguments
All the atomic operations have their arguments the wrong way around;
make atomic_fetch_or() consistent and flip them.

1f41906a6f sched/fair: Correctly handle nohz ticks CPU load accounting
Ticks can happen while the CPU is in dynticks-idle or dynticks-singletask
mode. In fact "nohz" or "dynticks" only mean that we exit the periodic
mode and we try to minimize the ticks as much as possible. The nohz
subsystem uses a confusing terminology with the internal state
"ts->tick_stopped" which is also available through its public interface
with tick_nohz_tick_stopped(). This is a misnomer as the tick is instead
reduced with the best effort rather than stopped. In the best case the
tick can indeed be actually stopped but there is no guarantee about that.
If a timer needs to fire one second later, a tick will fire while the
CPU is in nohz mode and this is a very common scenario.

Now this confusion happens to be a problem with CPU load updates:
cpu_load_update_active() doesn't handle nohz ticks correctly because it
assumes that ticks are completely stopped in nohz mode and that
cpu_load_update_active() can't be called in dynticks mode. When that
happens, the whole previous tickless load is ignored and the function
just records the load for the current tick, ignoring potentially long
idle periods behind.

In order to solve this, we could account the current load for the
previous nohz time but there is a risk that we account the load of a
task that got freshly enqueued for the whole nohz period.

So instead, lets record the dynticks load on nohz frame entry so we know
what to record in case of nohz ticks, then use this record to account
the tickless load on nohz ticks and nohz frame end.

cee1afce30 sched/fair: Gather CPU load functions under a more conventional namespace
The CPU load update related functions have a weak naming convention
currently, starting with update_cpu_load_*() which isn't ideal as
"update" is a very generic concept.

Since two of these functions are public already (and a third is to come)
that's enough to introduce a more conventional naming scheme. So let's
do the following rename instead:

	update_cpu_load_*() -> cpu_load_update_*()

86d3473224 time: Introduce do_sys_settimeofday64()
The do_sys_settimeofday() function uses a timespec, which is not year
2038 safe on 32bit systems.

Thus this patch introduces do_sys_settimeofday64(), which allows us to
transition users of do_sys_settimeofday() to using 64bit time types.

f009a7a767 timers/nohz: Convert tick dependency mask to atomic_t
The tick dependency mask was intially unsigned long because this is the
type on which clear_bit() operates on and fetch_or() accepts it.

But now that we have atomic_fetch_or(), we can instead use
atomic_andnot() to clear the bit. This consolidates the type of our
tick dependency mask, reduce its size on structures and benefit from
possible architecture optimizations on atomic_t operations.
