6c8557bdb2 smp, cpumask: Use non-atomic cpumask_{set,clear}_cpu()
The cpumasks in smp_call_function_many() are private and not subject
to concurrency, atomic bitops are pointless and expensive.

c311c79799 cpumask: make "nr_cpumask_bits" unsigned
Bit searching functions accept "unsigned long" indices but
"nr_cpumask_bits" is "int" which is signed, so inevitable sign
extensions occur on x86_64.  Those MOVSX are #1 MOVSX bloat by number of
uses across whole kernel.

Change "nr_cpumask_bits" to unsigned, this number can't be negative
after all.  It allows to do implicit zero-extension on x86_64 without
MOVSX.

Change signed comparisons into unsigned comparisons where necessary.

Other uses looks fine because it is either argument passed to a function
or comparison is already unsigned.

f7e30f01a9 cpumask: Add helper cpumask_available()
With CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y cpumask_var_t is a struct cpumask
pointer, otherwise a struct cpumask array with a single element.

Some code dealing with cpumasks needs to validate that a cpumask_var_t
is not a NULL pointer when CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y. This is typically
done by performing the check always, regardless of the underlying type
of cpumask_var_t. This works in both cases, however clang raises a
warning like this when CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n:

kernel/irq/manage.c:839:28: error: address of array
'desc->irq_common_data.affinity' will always evaluate to 'true'
[-Werror,-Wpointer-bool-conversion]

Add the inline helper cpumask_available() which only performs the
pointer check if CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y.

4d59b6ccf0 cpumask: use nr_cpumask_bits for parsing functions
Commit 513e3d2d11 ("cpumask: always use nr_cpu_ids in formatting and
parsing functions") converted both cpumask printing and parsing
functions to use nr_cpu_ids instead of nr_cpumask_bits.  While this was
okay for the printing functions as it just picked one of the two output
formats that we were alternating between depending on a kernel config,
doing the same for parsing wasn't okay.

nr_cpumask_bits can be either nr_cpu_ids or NR_CPUS.  We can always use
nr_cpu_ids but that is a variable while NR_CPUS is a constant, so it can
be more efficient to use NR_CPUS when we can get away with it.
Converting the printing functions to nr_cpu_ids makes sense because it
affects how the masks get presented to userspace and doesn't break
anything; however, using nr_cpu_ids for parsing functions can
incorrectly leave the higher bits uninitialized while reading in these
masks from userland.  As all testing and comparison functions use
nr_cpumask_bits which can be larger than nr_cpu_ids, the parsed cpumasks
can erroneously yield false negative results.

This made the taskstats interface incorrectly return -EINVAL even when
the inputs were correct.

Fix it by restoring the parse functions to use nr_cpumask_bits instead
of nr_cpu_ids.

668802c257 tick/broadcast: Reduce lock cacheline contention
It was observed that on an Intel x86 system without the ARAT (Always
running APIC timer) feature and with fairly large number of CPUs as
well as CPUs coming in and out of intel_idle frequently, the lock
contention on the tick_broadcast_lock can become significant.

To reduce contention, the lock is put into its own cacheline and all
the cpumask_var_t variables are put into the __read_mostly section.

Running the SP benchmark of the NAS Parallel Benchmarks on a 4-socket
16-core 32-thread Nehalam system, the performance number improved
from 3353.94 Mop/s to 3469.31 Mop/s when this patch was applied on
a 4.9.6 kernel.  This is a 3.4% improvement.

427d77a323 x86/smpboot: Prevent false positive out of bounds cpumask access warning
prefill_possible_map() reinitializes the cpu_possible_map by setting the
possible cpu bits and clearing all other bits up to NR_CPUS.

This is technically always correct because cpu_possible_map is statically
allocated and sized NR_CPUS. With CPUMASK_OFFSTACK and DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS
enabled the bounds check of cpu masks happens on nr_cpu_ids. nr_cpu_ids is
initialized to NR_CPUS and only limited after the set/clear bit loops have
been executed. 

But if the system was booted with "nr_cpus=N" on the command line, where N
is < NR_CPUS then nr_cpu_ids is limited in the parameter parsing function
before prefill_possible_map() is invoked. As a consequence the cpumask
bounds check triggers when clearing the bits past nr_cpu_ids.

Add a helper which allows to reset cpu_possible_map w/o the bounds check
and then set only the possible bits which are well inside bounds.

e9d867a67f sched: Allow per-cpu kernel threads to run on online && !active
In order to enable symmetric hotplug, we must mirror the online &&
!active state of cpu-down on the cpu-up side.

However, to retain sanity, limit this state to per-cpu kthreads.

Aside from the change to set_cpus_allowed_ptr(), which allow moving
the per-cpu kthreads on, the other critical piece is the cpu selection
for pinned tasks in select_task_rq(). This avoids dropping into
select_fallback_rq().

select_fallback_rq() cannot be allowed to select !active cpus because
its used to migrate user tasks away. And we do not want to move user
tasks onto cpus that are in transition.

f36963c9d3 cpumask_set_cpu_local_first => cpumask_local_spread, lament
da91309e0a (cpumask: Utility function to set n'th cpu...) created a
genuinely weird function.  I never saw it before, it went through DaveM.
(He only does this to make us other maintainers feel better about our own
mistakes.)

cpumask_set_cpu_local_first's purpose is say "I need to spread things
across N online cpus, choose the ones on this numa node first"; you call
it in a loop.

It can fail.  One of the two callers ignores this, the other aborts and
fails the device open.

It can fail in two ways: allocating the off-stack cpumask, or through a
convoluted codepath which AFAICT can only occur if cpu_online_mask
changes.  Which shouldn't happen, because if cpu_online_mask can change
while you call this, it could return a now-offline cpu anyway.

It contains a nonsensical test "!cpumask_of_node(numa_node)".  This was
drawn to my attention by Geert, who said this causes a warning on Sparc.
It sets a single bit in a cpumask instead of returning a cpu number,
because that's what the callers want.

It could be made more efficient by passing the previous cpu rather than
an index, but that would be more invasive to the callers.

513e3d2d11 cpumask: always use nr_cpu_ids in formatting and parsing functions
bitmap implements two variants of scnprintf functions to format a bitmap
into a string and cpumask and nodemask wrap them to provide equivalent
interfaces.  The scnprintf family of functions require a string buffer as
an output target which complicates code paths which just want to print out
the mask through printk for informational or debug purposes as they have
to worry about how large the buffer should be and whether it's too large
to allocate on stack.

Neither cpumask or nodemask provides a guildeline on how large the target
buffer should be forcing users come up with their own solutions - some
allocate an arbitrarily sized buffer which is small enough to allocate on
stack but may be too short in corner cases, other come up with a custom
upper limit calculation considering the output format, some allocate the
buffer dynamically while one resorted to using lock to synchronize access
to a static buffer.

This is an artificial problem which is being solved repeatedly for no
benefit.  In a lot of cases, the output area already exists and can be
targeted directly making the intermediate buffer unnecessary.  This
patchset teaches printf family of functions how to format bitmaps and
replace the dedicated formatting functions with it.

Pointer formatting is extended to cover bitmap formatting.  It uses the
field width for the number of bits instead of precision.  The format used
is '%*pb[l]', with the optional trailing 'l' specifying list format
instead of hex masks.  For more details, please see 0002.

This patch (of 31):

Currently, the formatting and parsing functions in cpumask.h use
nr_cpumask_bits like other cpumask functions; however, nr_cpumask_bits
is either NR_CPUS or nr_cpu_ids depending on CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK.
This leads to inconsistent behaviors.

With CONFIG_NR_CPUS=512 and !CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK

  # cat /sys/devices/virtual/net/lo/queues/rx-0/rps_cpus
  00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000
  # cat /proc/self/status | grep Cpus_allowed:
  Cpus_allowed:   f

With CONFIG_NR_CPUS=1024 and CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK (fedora default)

  # cat /sys/devices/virtual/net/lo/queues/rx-0/rps_cpus
  0
  # cat /proc/self/status | grep Cpus_allowed:
  Cpus_allowed:   f

Note that /proc/self/status is always using nr_cpu_ids regardless of
config.  This is because seq cpumask formattings functions always use
nr_cpu_ids.

Given that the same output fields may switch between the two forms,
converging on nr_cpu_ids always isn't too likely to surprise userland.
This patch updates the formatting and parsing functions in cpumask.h
to always use nr_cpu_ids.  There's no point in dealing with CPUs which
aren't even possible on the machine.

This patch creates a new helper function cpumap_print_to_pagebuf in

most of those sysfs functions using the new helper function.

4ba2968420 percpu: Resolve ambiguities in __get_cpu_var/cpumask_var_t
__get_cpu_var can paper over differences in the definitions of
cpumask_var_t and either use the address of the cpumask variable
directly or perform a fetch of the address of the struct cpumask
allocated elsewhere. This is important particularly when using per cpu
cpumask_var_t declarations because in one case we have an offset into
a per cpu area to handle and in the other case we need to fetch a
pointer from the offset.

This patch introduces a new macro

this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr()

that is defined where cpumask_var_t is defined and performs the proper
actions. All use cases where __get_cpu_var is used with cpumask_var_t
are converted to the use of this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().

da91309e0a cpumask: Utility function to set n'th cpu - local cpu first
This function sets the n'th cpu - local cpu's first.
For example: in a 16 cores server with even cpu's local, will get the
following values:
cpumask_set_cpu_local_first(0, numa, cpumask) => cpu 0 is set
cpumask_set_cpu_local_first(1, numa, cpumask) => cpu 2 is set
...
cpumask_set_cpu_local_first(7, numa, cpumask) => cpu 14 is set
cpumask_set_cpu_local_first(8, numa, cpumask) => cpu 1 is set
cpumask_set_cpu_local_first(9, numa, cpumask) => cpu 3 is set
...
cpumask_set_cpu_local_first(15, numa, cpumask) => cpu 15 is set

Curently this function will be used by multi queue networking devices to
calculate the irq affinity mask, such that as many local cpu's as
possible will be utilized to handle the mq device irq's.

ba630e4940 cpumask: implement cpumask_parse()
We have cpulist_parse() but not cpumask_parse().  Implement it using
bitmap_parse().

bitmap_parse() is weird in that it takes @len for a string in
kernel-memory which also is inconsistent with bitmap_parselist().
Make cpumask_parse() calculate the length and don't expose the
inconsistency to cpumask users.  Maybe we can fix up bitmap_parse()
later.

This will be used to expose workqueue cpumask knobs to userland via
sysfs.

4b060420a5 bitmap, irq: add smp_affinity_list interface to /proc/irq
Manually adjusting the smp_affinity for IRQ's becomes unwieldy when the
cpu count is large.

Setting smp affinity to cpus 256 to 263 would be:

	echo 000000ff,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000 > smp_affinity

instead of:

	echo 256-263 > smp_affinity_list

Think about what it looks like for cpus around say, 4088 to 4095.

We already have many alternate "list" interfaces:

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/indexY/shared_cpu_list
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/thread_siblings_list
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_siblings_list
/sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/cpulist
/sys/devices/pci***/***/local_cpulist

Add a companion interface, smp_affinity_list to use cpu lists instead of
cpu maps.  This conforms to other companion interfaces where both a map
and a list interface exists.

This required adding a bitmap_parselist_user() function in a manner
similar to the bitmap_parse_user() function.

8bd93a2c5d rcu: Accelerate grace period if last non-dynticked CPU
Currently, rcu_needs_cpu() simply checks whether the current CPU
has an outstanding RCU callback, which means that the last CPU
to go into dyntick-idle mode might wait a few ticks for the
relevant grace periods to complete.  However, if all the other
CPUs are in dyntick-idle mode, and if this CPU is in a quiescent
state (which it is for RCU-bh and RCU-sched any time that we are
considering going into dyntick-idle mode), then the grace period
is instantly complete.

This patch therefore repeatedly invokes the RCU grace-period
machinery in order to force any needed grace periods to complete
quickly.  It does so a limited number of times in order to
prevent starvation by an RCU callback function that might pass
itself to call_rcu().

However, if any CPU other than the current one is not in
dyntick-idle mode, fall back to simply checking (with fix to bug
noted by Lai Jiangshan).  Also, take advantage of last
grace-period forcing, the opportunity to do so noted by Steve
Rostedt.  And apply simplified #ifdef condition suggested by
Frederic Weisbecker.

6ad4c18884 sched: Fix balance vs hotplug race
Since (e761b77: cpu hotplug, sched: Introduce cpu_active_map and redo
sched domain managment) we have cpu_active_mask which is suppose to rule
scheduler migration and load-balancing, except it never (fully) did.

The particular problem being solved here is a crash in try_to_wake_up()
where select_task_rq() ends up selecting an offline cpu because
select_task_rq_fair() trusts the sched_domain tree to reflect the
current state of affairs, similarly select_task_rq_rt() trusts the
root_domain.

However, the sched_domains are updated from CPU_DEAD, which is after the
cpu is taken offline and after stop_machine is done. Therefore it can
race perfectly well with code assuming the domains are right.

Cure this by building the domains from cpu_active_mask on
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE.

CPU_MASK_ALL is the (deprecated) "all bits set" cpumask, defined as so:

	#define CPU_MASK_ALL (cpumask_t) { { ... } }

Taking the address of such a temporary is questionable at best,
unfortunately 321a8e9d (cpumask: add CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR macro) added
CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR:

	#define CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR (&CPU_MASK_ALL)

Which formalizes this practice.  One day gcc could bite us over this
usage (though we seem to have gotten away with it so far).

Now all callers are removed, we kill it.

54fdade1c3 generic-ipi: make struct call_function_data lockless
This patch can remove spinlock from struct call_function_data, the
reasons are below:

1: add a new interface for cpumask named cpumask_test_and_clear_cpu(),
   it can atomically test and clear specific cpu, we can use it instead
   of cpumask_test_cpu() and cpumask_clear_cpu() and no need data->lock
   to protect those in generic_smp_call_function_interrupt().

2: in smp_call_function_many(), after csd_lock() return, the current's
   cfd_data is deleted from call_function list, so it not have race
   between other cpus, then cfs_data is only used in
   smp_call_function_many() that must disable preemption and not from
   a hardware interrupthandler or from a bottom half handler to call,
   only the correspond cpu can use it, so it not have race in current
   cpu, no need cfs_data->lock to protect it.

3: after 1 and 2, cfs_data->lock is only use to protect cfs_data->refs in
   generic_smp_call_function_interrupt(), so we can define cfs_data->refs
   to atomic_t, and no need cfs_data->lock any more.

f4b0373b26 Make bitmask 'and' operators return a result code
When 'and'ing two bitmasks (where 'andnot' is a variation on it), some
cases want to know whether the result is the empty set or not.  In
particular, the TLB IPI sending code wants to do cpumask operations and
determine if there are any CPU's left in the final set.

So this just makes the bitmask (and cpumask) functions return a boolean
for whether the result has any bits set.

8c384cdee3 cpumask: CONFIG_DISABLE_OBSOLETE_CPUMASK_FUNCTIONS
Impact: new debug CONFIG options

This helps find unconverted code.  It currently breaks compile horribly,
but we never wanted a flag day so that's expected.
