So far next expiry was only tracked while the CPU was in nohz_idle mode
in order to cope with missing ticks that can't increment the base->clk
periodically anymore.
This logic is going to be expanded beyond nohz in order to spare timer
softirqs so do it unconditionally.

If a level has a timer that expires before reaching the next level, there
is no need to iterate further.
The next level is reached when the 3 lower bits of the current level are
cleared. If the next event happens before/during that, the next levels
won't provide an earlier expiration.

The bucket expiry time is the effective expriy time of timers and is
greater than or equal to the requested timer expiry time. This is due
to the guarantee that timers never expire early and the reduced expiry
granularity in the secondary wheel levels.
When a timer is enqueued, trigger_dyntick_cpu() checks whether the
timer is the new first timer. This check compares next_expiry with
the requested timer expiry value and not with the effective expiry
value of the bucket into which the timer was queued.
Storing the requested timer expiry value in base->next_expiry can lead
to base->clk going backwards if the requested timer expiry value is
smaller than base->clk. Commit 30c66fc30e ("timer: Prevent base->clk
from moving backward") worked around this by preventing the store when
timer->expiry is before base->clk, but did not fix the underlying
problem.
Use the expiry value of the bucket into which the timer is queued to
do the new first timer check. This fixes the base->clk going backward
problem.
The workaround of commit 30c66fc30e ("timer: Prevent base->clk from
moving backward") in trigger_dyntick_cpu() is not longer necessary as the
timers bucket expiry is guaranteed to be greater than or equal base->clk.

The higher bits of the timer expiration are cropped while calling
calc_index() due to the implicit cast from unsigned long to unsigned int.
This loss shouldn't have consequences on the current code since all the
computation to calculate the index is done on the lower 32 bits.
However to prepare for returning the actual bucket expiration from
calc_index() in order to properly fix base->next_expiry updates, the higher
bits need to be preserved.

When an expiration delta falls into the last level of the wheel, that delta
has be compared against the maximum possible delay and reduced to fit in if
necessary.
However instead of comparing the delta against the maximum, the code
compares the actual expiry against the maximum. Then instead of fixing the
delta to fit in, it sets the maximum delta as the expiry value.
This can result in various undesired outcomes, the worst possible one
being a timer expiring 15 days ahead to fire immediately.

When a timer is enqueued with a negative delta (ie: expiry is below
base->clk), it gets added to the wheel as expiring now (base->clk).
Yet the value that gets stored in base->next_expiry, while calling
trigger_dyntick_cpu(), is the initial timer->expires value. The
resulting state becomes:
base->next_expiry < base->clk
On the next timer enqueue, forward_timer_base() may accidentally
rewind base->clk. As a possible outcome, timers may expire way too
early, the worst case being that the highest wheel levels get spuriously
processed again.
To prevent from that, make sure that base->next_expiry doesn't get below
base->clk.

When working commit 6dcd5d7a7a, a mistake was noticed by Linus:
schedule_timeout() was called without setting the task state to anything
particular.
It calls the scheduler, but doesn't delay anything, because the task stays
runnable. That happens because sched_submit_work() does nothing for tasks
in TASK_RUNNING state.
That turned out to be the intended behavior. Adding a WARN() is not useful
as the task could be woken up right after setting the state and before
reaching schedule_timeout().
Improve the comment about schedule_timeout() and describe that more
explicitly.

The reason is that the code in collect_expired_timers() uses jiffies
unprotected:
if (next_event > jiffies)
base->clk = jiffies;
As the compiler is allowed to reload the value base->clk can advance
between the check and the store and in the worst case advance farther than
next event. That causes the timer expiry to be delayed until the wheel
pointer wraps around.
Convert the code to use READ_ONCE()

When PREEMPT_RT is enabled, the soft interrupt thread can be preempted. If
the soft interrupt thread is preempted in the middle of a timer callback,
then calling del_timer_sync() can lead to two issues:
- If the caller is on a remote CPU then it has to spin wait for the timer
handler to complete. This can result in unbound priority inversion.
- If the caller originates from the task which preempted the timer
handler on the same CPU, then spin waiting for the timer handler to
complete is never going to end.
To avoid these issues, add a new lock to the timer base which is held
around the execution of the timer callbacks. If del_timer_sync() detects
that the timer callback is currently running, it blocks on the expiry
lock. When the callback is finished, the expiry lock is dropped by the
softirq thread which wakes up the waiter and the system makes progress.
This addresses both the priority inversion and the life lock issues.
This mechanism is not used for timers which are marked IRQSAFE as for those
preemption is disabled accross the callback and therefore this situation
cannot happen. The callbacks for such timers need to be individually
audited for RT compliance.
The same issue can happen in virtual machines when the vCPU which runs a
timer callback is scheduled out. If a second vCPU of the same guest calls
del_timer_sync() it will spin wait for the other vCPU to be scheduled back
in. The expiry lock mechanism would avoid that. It'd be trivial to enable
this when paravirt spinlocks are enabled in a guest, but it's not clear
whether this is an actual problem in the wild, so for now it's an RT only
mechanism.
As the softirq thread can be preempted with PREEMPT_RT=y, the SMP variant
of del_timer_sync() needs to be used on UP as well.

Timers are added to the timer wheel off by one. This is required in
case a timer is queued directly before incrementing jiffies to prevent
early timer expiry.
When reading a timer trace and relying only on the expiry time of the timer
in the timer_start trace point and on the now in the timer_expiry_entry
trace point, it seems that the timer fires late. With the current
timer_expiry_entry trace point information only now=jiffies is printed but
not the value of base->clk. This makes it impossible to draw a conclusion
to the index of base->clk and makes it impossible to examine timer problems
without additional trace points.
Therefore add the base->clk value to the timer_expire_entry trace
point, to be able to calculate the index the timer base is located at
during collecting expired timers.

When placing the timer_start trace point before the timer wheel bucket
index is calculated, the index information in the trace point is useless.
It is not possible to simply move the debug_activate() call after the index
calculation, because debug_object_activate() needs to be called before
touching the object.
Therefore split debug_activate() and move the trace point into
enqueue_timer() after the new index has been calculated. The
debug_object_activate() call remains at the original place.

The name rcu_check_callbacks() arguably made sense back in the early
2000s when RCU was quite a bit simpler than it is today, but it has
become quite misleading, especially with the advent of dyntick-idle
and NO_HZ_FULL. The rcu_check_callbacks() function is RCU's hook into
the scheduling-clock interrupt, and is now but one of many ways that
callbacks get promoted to invocable state.
This commit therefore changes the name to rcu_sched_clock_irq(),
which is the same number of characters and clearly indicates this
function's relation to the rest of the Linux kernel. In addition, for
the sake of consistency, rcu_flavor_check_callbacks() is also renamed
to rcu_flavor_sched_clock_irq().
While in the area, the header comments for both functions are reworked.

timer_base::must_forward_clock is indicating that the base clock might be
stale due to a long idle sleep.
The forwarding of the base clock takes place in the timer softirq or when a
timer is enqueued to a base which is idle. If the enqueue of timer to an
idle base happens from a remote CPU, then the following race can happen:
CPU0 CPU1
run_timer_softirq mod_timer
base = lock_timer_base(timer);
base->must_forward_clk = false
if (base->must_forward_clk)
forward(base); -> skipped
enqueue_timer(base, timer, idx);
-> idx is calculated high due to
stale base
unlock_timer_base(timer);
base = lock_timer_base(timer);
forward(base);
The root cause is that timer_base::must_forward_clk is cleared outside the
timer_base::lock held region, so the remote queuing CPU observes it as
cleared, but the base clock is still stale. This can cause large
granularity values for timers, i.e. the accuracy of the expiry time
suffers.
Prevent this by clearing the flag with timer_base::lock held, so that the
forwarding takes place before the cleared flag is observable by a remote
CPU.

On CPU hotunplug the enqueued timers of the unplugged CPU are migrated to a
live CPU. This happens from the control thread which initiated the unplug.
If the CPU on which the control thread runs came out from a longer idle
period then the base clock of that CPU might be stale because the control
thread runs prior to any event which forwards the clock.
In such a case the timers from the unplugged CPU are queued on the live CPU
based on the stale clock which can cause large delays due to increased
granularity of the outer timer wheels which are far away from base:;clock.
But there is a worse problem than that. The following sequence of events
illustrates it:
- CPU0 timer1 is queued expires = 59969 and base->clk = 59131.
The timer is queued at wheel level 2, with resulting expiry time = 60032
(due to level granularity).
- CPU1 enters idle @60007, with next timer expiry @60020.
- CPU0 is hotplugged at @60009
- CPU1 exits idle and runs the control thread which migrates the
timers from CPU0
timer1 is now queued in level 0 for immediate handling in the next
softirq because the requested expiry time 59969 is before CPU1 base->clk
60007
- CPU1 runs code which forwards the base clock which succeeds because the
next expiring timer. which was collected at idle entry time is still set
to 60020.
So it forwards beyond 60007 and therefore misses to expire the migrated
timer1. That timer gets expired when the wheel wraps around again, which
takes between 63 and 630ms depending on the HZ setting.
Address both problems by invoking forward_timer_base() for the control CPUs
timer base. All other places, which might run into a similar problem
(mod_timer()/add_timer_on()) already invoke forward_timer_base() to avoid
that.

hrtimer_reprogram() is conditionally invoked from hrtimer_start_range_ns()
when hrtimer_cpu_base.hres_active is true.
In the !hres_active case there is a special condition for the nohz_active
case:
If the newly enqueued timer expires before the first expiring timer on a
remote CPU then the remote CPU needs to be notified and woken up from a
NOHZ idle sleep to take the new first expiring timer into account.
Previous changes have already established the prerequisites to make the
remote enqueue behaviour the same whether high resolution mode is active or
not:
If the to be enqueued timer expires before the first expiring timer on a
remote CPU, then it cannot be enqueued there.
This was done for the high resolution mode because there is no way to
access the remote CPU timer hardware. The same is true for NOHZ, but was
handled differently by unconditionally enqueuing the timer and waking up
the remote CPU so it can reprogram its timer. Again there is no compelling
reason for this difference.
hrtimer_check_target(), which makes the 'can remote enqueue' decision is
already unconditional, but not yet functional because nothing updates
hrtimer_cpu_base.expires_next in the !hres_active case.
To unify this the following changes are required:
1) Make the store of the new first expiry time unconditonal in
hrtimer_reprogram() and check __hrtimer_hres_active() before proceeding
to the actual hardware access. This check also lets the compiler
eliminate the rest of the function in case of CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=n.
2) Invoke hrtimer_reprogram() unconditionally from
hrtimer_start_range_ns()
3) Remove the remote wakeup special case for the !high_res && nohz_active
case.
Confine the timers_nohz_active static key to timer.c which is the only user
now.

Still that results in a (cache hot) load and conditional branch,

Implement it with static keys and optimize for the most critical
case of high performance networking which tends to disable the

During boot and before base::nohz_active is set in the timer bases, deferrable
timers are enqueued into the standard timer base. This works correctly as
long as base::nohz_active is false.
Once it base::nohz_active is set and a timer which was enqueued before that
is accessed the lock selector code choses the lock of the deferred
base. This causes unlocked access to the standard base and in case the
timer is removed it does not clear the pending flag in the standard base
bitmap which causes get_next_timer_interrupt() to return bogus values.
To prevent that, the deferrable timers must be enqueued in the deferrable
base, even when base::nohz_active is not set. Those deferrable timers also
need to be expired unconditional.

Add a function, similar to mod_timer(), that will start a timer if it isn't
running and will modify it if it is running and has an expiry time longer
than the new time. If the timer is running with an expiry time that's the
same or sooner, no change is made.
The function looks like:
int timer_reduce(struct timer_list *timer, unsigned long expires);
This can be used by code such as networking code to make it easier to share
a timer for multiple timeouts. For instance, in upcoming AF_RXRPC code,
the rxrpc_call struct will maintain a number of timeouts:
unsigned long ack_at;
unsigned long resend_at;
unsigned long ping_at;
unsigned long expect_rx_by;
unsigned long expect_req_by;
unsigned long expect_term_by;
each of which is set independently of the others. With timer reduction
available, when the code needs to set one of the timeouts, it only needs to
look at that timeout and then call timer_reduce() to modify the timer,
starting it or bringing it forward if necessary. There is no need to refer
to the other timeouts to see which is earliest and no need to take any lock
other than, potentially, the timer lock inside timer_reduce().
Note, that this does not protect against concurrent invocations of any of
the timer functions.
As an example, the expect_rx_by timeout above, which terminates a call if
we don't get a packet from the server within a certain time window, would
be set something like this:
unsigned long now = jiffies;
unsigned long expect_rx_by = now + packet_receive_timeout;
WRITE_ONCE(call->expect_rx_by, expect_rx_by);
timer_reduce(&call->timer, expect_rx_by);
The timer service code (which might, say, be in a work function) would then
check all the timeouts to see which, if any, had triggered, deal with
those:
t = READ_ONCE(call->ack_at);
if (time_after_eq(now, t)) {
cmpxchg(&call->ack_at, t, now + MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET);
set_bit(RXRPC_CALL_EV_ACK, &call->events);
}
and then restart the timer if necessary by finding the soonest timeout that
hasn't yet passed and then calling timer_reduce().
The disadvantage of doing things this way rather than comparing the timers
each time and calling mod_timer() is that you *will* take timer events
unless you can finish what you're doing and delete the timer in time.
The advantage of doing things this way is that you don't need to use a lock
to work out when the next timer should be set, other than the timer's own
lock - which you might not have to take.

If the base clock is behind jiffies in the soft irq expiry code then the
next timer is retrieved by get_next_timer_interrupt() to avoid incrementing
base clock one by one. If the next timer interrupt is past current jiffies
then the base clock is set to jiffies - 1. At the call site this is
incremented and another iteration through the expiry loop is executed which
checks empty hash buckets.
That's a pointless excercise because it's already known that the next timer
is past jiffies.
Set the base clock in that case to jiffies directly so it gets incremented
to jiffies + 1 at the call site resulting in immediate termination of the
expiry loop.

When a timer base is idle, it is forwarded when a new timer is added
to ensure that granularity does not become excessive. When not idle,
the timer tick is expected to increment the base.
However there are several problems:
- If an existing timer is modified, the base is forwarded only after
the index is calculated.
- The base is not forwarded by add_timer_on.
- There is a window after a timer is restarted from a nohz idle, after
it is marked not-idle and before the timer tick on this CPU, where a
timer may be added but the ancient base does not get forwarded.
These result in excessive granularity (a 1 jiffy timeout can blow out
to 100s of jiffies), which cause the rcu lockup detector to trigger,
among other things.
Fix this by keeping track of whether the timer base has been idle
since it was last run or forwarded, and if so then forward it before
adding a new timer.
There is still a case where mod_timer optimises the case of a pending
timer mod with the same expiry time, where the timer can see excessive
granularity relative to the new, shorter interval. A comment is added,
but it's not changed because it is an important fastpath for
networking.
This has been tested and found to fix the RCU softlockup messages.
Testing was also done with tracing to measure requested versus
achieved wakeup latencies for all non-deferrable timers in an idle
system (with no lockup watchdogs running). Wakeup latency relative to
absolute latency is calculated (note this suffers from round-up skew
at low absolute times) and analysed:
max avg std
upstream 506.0 1.20 4.68
patched 2.0 1.08 0.15
The bug was noticed due to the lockup detector Kconfig changes
dropping it out of people's .configs and resulting in larger base
clk skew When the lockup detectors are enabled, no CPU can go idle for
longer than 4 seconds, which limits the granularity errors.
Sub-optimal timer behaviour is observable on a smaller scale in that
case:
max avg std
upstream 9.0 1.05 0.19
patched 2.0 1.04 0.11

This patch fix spelling typos found in
Documentation/output/xml/driver-api/basics.xml.
It is because the xml file was generated from comments in source,
so I had to fix the comments.

We are going to split <linux/sched/debug.h> out of <linux/sched.h>, which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.
Create a trivial placeholder <linux/sched/debug.h> file that just
maps to <linux/sched.h> to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.
Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.
