10e8b11eb3 cpuidle: Rearrange s2idle-specific idle state entry code
Implement call_cpuidle_s2idle() in analogy with call_cpuidle()
for the s2idle-specific idle state entry and invoke it from
cpuidle_idle_call() to make the s2idle-specific idle entry code
path look more similar to the "regular" idle entry one.

No intentional functional impact.

a87e749e8f sched: Remove struct sched_class::next field
Now that the sched_class descriptors are defined in order via the linker
script vmlinux.lds.h, there's no reason to have a "next" pointer to the
previous priroity structure. The order of the sturctures can be aligned as
an array, and used to index and find the next sched_class descriptor.

590d697963 sched: Force the address order of each sched class descriptor
In order to make a micro optimization in pick_next_task(), the order of the
sched class descriptor address must be in the same order as their priority
to each other. That is:

 &idle_sched_class < &fair_sched_class < &rt_sched_class <
 &dl_sched_class < &stop_sched_class

In order to guarantee this order of the sched class descriptors, add each
one into their own data section and force the order in the linker script.

e3e76a6a04 sched/idle,stop: Remove .get_rr_interval from sched_class
The idle task and stop task sched_classes return 0 in this function.

The single call site in sched_rr_get_interval() calls
p->sched_class->get_rr_interval() only conditional in case it is
defined. Otherwise time_slice=0 will be used.

The deadline sched class does not define it. Commit a57beec5d4
("sched: Make sched_class::get_rr_interval() optional") introduced
the default time-slice=0 for sched classes which do not provide this
function.

So .get_rr_interval for idle and stop sched_class can be removed to
shrink the code a little.

a148866489 sched: Replace rq::wake_list
The recent commit: 90b5363acd ("sched: Clean up scheduler_ipi()")
got smp_call_function_single_async() subtly wrong. Even though it will
return -EBUSY when trying to re-use a csd, that condition is not
atomic and still requires external serialization.

The change in ttwu_queue_remote() got this wrong.

While on first reading ttwu_queue_remote() has an atomic test-and-set
that appears to serialize the use, the matching 'release' is not in
the right place to actually guarantee this serialization.

The actual race is vs the sched_ttwu_pending() call in the idle loop;
that can run the wakeup-list without consuming the CSD.

Instead of trying to chain the lists, merge them.

c55b51a06b cpuidle: Allow idle injection to apply exit latency limit
In some cases it may be useful to specify an exit latency limit for
the idle state to be used during CPU idle time injection.

Instead of duplicating the information in struct cpuidle_device
or propagating the latency limit in the call stack, replace the
use_deepest_state field with forced_latency_limit_ns to represent
that limit, so that the deepest idle state with exit latency within
that limit is forced (i.e. no governors) when it is set.

A zero exit latency limit for forced idle means to use governors in
the usual way (analogous to use_deepest_state equal to "false" before
this change).

Additionally, add play_idle_precise() taking two arguments, the
duration of forced idle and the idle state exit latency limit, both
in nanoseconds, and redefine play_idle() as a wrapper around that
new function.

This change is preparatory, no functional impact is expected.

c1d51f684c cpuidle: Use nanoseconds as the unit of time
Currently, the cpuidle subsystem uses microseconds as the unit of
time which (among other things) causes the idle loop to incur some
integer division overhead for no clear benefit.

In order to allow cpuidle to measure time in nanoseconds, add two
new fields, exit_latency_ns and target_residency_ns, to represent the
exit latency and target residency of an idle state in nanoseconds,
respectively, to struct cpuidle_state and initialize them with the
help of the corresponding values in microseconds provided by drivers.
Additionally, change cpuidle_governor_latency_req() to return the
idle state exit latency constraint in nanoseconds.

Also meeasure idle state residency (last_residency_ns in struct
cpuidle_device and time_ns in struct cpuidle_driver) in nanoseconds
and update the cpuidle core and governors accordingly.

However, the menu governor still computes typical intervals in
microseconds to avoid integer overflows.

5d7d605642 sched/core: Optimize pick_next_task()
Ever since we moved the sched_class definitions into their own files,
the constant expression {fair,idle}_sched_class.pick_next_task() is
not in fact a compile time constant anymore and results in an indirect
call (barring LTO).

Fix that by exposing pick_next_task_{fair,idle}() directly, this gets
rid of the indirect call (and RETPOLINE) on the fast path.

Also remove the unlikely() from the idle case, it is in fact /the/ way
we select idle -- and that is a very common thing to do.

Performance for will-it-scale/sched_yield improves by 2% (as reported
by 0-day).

6e2df0581f sched: Fix pick_next_task() vs 'change' pattern race
Commit 67692435c4 ("sched: Rework pick_next_task() slow-path")
inadvertly introduced a race because it changed a previously
unexplored dependency between dropping the rq->lock and
sched_class::put_prev_task().

The comments about dropping rq->lock, in for example
newidle_balance(), only mentions the task being current and ->on_cpu
being set. But when we look at the 'change' pattern (in for example
sched_setnuma()):

	queued = task_on_rq_queued(p); /* p->on_rq == TASK_ON_RQ_QUEUED */
	running = task_current(rq, p); /* rq->curr == p */

	if (queued)
		dequeue_task(...);
	if (running)
		put_prev_task(...);

	/* change task properties */

	if (queued)
		enqueue_task(...);
	if (running)
		set_next_task(...);

It becomes obvious that if we do this after put_prev_task() has
already been called on @p, things go sideways. This is exactly what
the commit in question allows to happen when it does:

	prev->sched_class->put_prev_task(rq, prev, rf);
	if (!rq->nr_running)
		newidle_balance(rq, rf);

The newidle_balance() call will drop rq->lock after we've called
put_prev_task() and that allows the above 'change' pattern to
interleave and mess up the state.

Furthermore, it turns out we lost the RT-pull when we put the last DL
task.

Fix both problems by extracting the balancing from put_prev_task() and
doing a multi-class balance() pass before put_prev_task().

13224794cb mm: remove quicklist page table caches
Patch series "mm: remove quicklist page table caches".

A while ago Nicholas proposed to remove quicklist page table caches [1].

I've rebased his patch on the curren upstream and switched ia64 and sh to
use generic versions of PTE allocation.

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20190711030339.20892-1-npiggin@gmail.com

This patch (of 3):

Remove page table allocator "quicklists".  These have been around for a
long time, but have not got much traction in the last decade and are only
used on ia64 and sh architectures.

The numbers in the initial commit look interesting but probably don't
apply anymore.  If anybody wants to resurrect this it's in the git
history, but it's unhelpful to have this code and divergent allocator
behaviour for minor archs.

Also it might be better to instead make more general improvements to page
allocator if this is still so slow.

82e430a6df cpuidle: play_idle: Increase the resolution to usec
The play_idle resolution is 1ms. The intel_powerclamp bases the idle
duration on jiffies. The idle injection API is also using msec based
duration but has no user yet.

Unfortunately, msec based time does not fit well when we want to
inject idle cycle precisely with shallow idle state.

In order to set the scene for the incoming idle injection user, move
the precision up to usec when calling play_idle.

This happens rarely, but can be forced by happen more often by
placing delays in cpuhp_report_idle_dead() following the call to
rcu_report_dead().  With this in place, the following rcutorture
scenario reproduces the problem within a few minutes:

tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/kvm.sh --cpus 8 --duration 5 --kconfig "CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y" --configs "TREE04"

This commit uses the crude but effective expedient of moving the disabling
of interrupts within the idle loop to precede the cpu_is_offline()
check.  It also invokes tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() instead of
tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick_protected() to shut off the scheduling-clock
interrupt.

67692435c4 sched: Rework pick_next_task() slow-path
Avoid the RETRY_TASK case in the pick_next_task() slow path.

By doing the put_prev_task() early, we get the rt/deadline pull done,
and by testing rq->nr_running we know if we need newidle_balance().

This then gives a stable state to pick a task from.

Since the fast-path is fair only; it means the other classes will
always have pick_next_task(.prev=NULL, .rf=NULL) and we can simplify.

5f2a45fc9e sched: Allow put_prev_task() to drop rq->lock
Currently the pick_next_task() loop is convoluted and ugly because of
how it can drop the rq->lock and needs to restart the picking.

For the RT/Deadline classes, it is put_prev_task() where we do
balancing, and we could do this before the picking loop. Make this
possible.

977e4be5eb x86/stackprotector: Remove the call to boot_init_stack_canary() from cpu_startup_entry()
The following commit:

  d7880812b3 ("idle: Add the stack canary init to cpu_startup_entry()")

... added an x86 specific boot_init_stack_canary() call to the generic
cpu_startup_entry() as a temporary hack, with the intention to remove
the #ifdef CONFIG_X86 later.

More than 5 years later let's finally realize that plan! :-)

While implementing stack protector support for PowerPC, we found
that calling boot_init_stack_canary() is also needed for PowerPC
which uses per task (TLS) stack canary like the X86.

However, calling boot_init_stack_canary() would break architectures
using a global stack canary (ARM, SH, MIPS and XTENSA).

Instead of modifying the #ifdef CONFIG_X86 to an even messier:

   #if defined(CONFIG_X86) || defined(CONFIG_PPC)

PowerPC implemented the call to boot_init_stack_canary() in the function
calling cpu_startup_entry().

Let's try the same cleanup on the x86 side as well.

On x86 we have two functions calling cpu_startup_entry():

 - start_secondary()
 - cpu_bringup_and_idle()

start_secondary() already calls boot_init_stack_canary(), so
it's good, and this patch adds the call to boot_init_stack_canary()
in cpu_bringup_and_idle().

I.e. now x86 catches up to the rest of the world and the ugly init
sequence in init/main.c can be removed from cpu_startup_entry().

As a final benefit we can also remove the <linux/stackprotector.h>
dependency from <linux/sched.h>.

[ mingo: Improved the changelog a bit, added language explaining x86 borkage and sched.h change. ]

7059b36636 sched: idle: Avoid retaining the tick when it has been stopped
If the tick has been stopped already, but the governor has not asked to
stop it (which it can do sometimes), the idle loop should invoke
tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick(), to let tick_nohz_stop_tick() take care
of this case properly.

554c8aa8ec sched: idle: Select idle state before stopping the tick
In order to address the issue with short idle duration predictions
by the idle governor after the scheduler tick has been stopped,
reorder the code in cpuidle_idle_call() so that the governor idle
state selection runs before tick_nohz_idle_go_idle() and use the
"nohz" hint returned by cpuidle_select() to decide whether or not
to stop the tick.

This isn't straightforward, because menu_select() invokes
tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() to get the time to the next timer
event and the number returned by the latter comes from
__tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick().  Fortunately, however, it is possible
to compute that number without actually stopping the tick and with
the help of the existing code.

Namely, tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() can be made call
tick_nohz_next_event(), introduced earlier, to get the time to the
next non-highres timer event.  If that happens, tick_nohz_next_event()
need not be called by __tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() again.

If it turns out that the scheduler tick cannot be stopped going
forward or the next timer event is too close for the tick to be
stopped, tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() can simply return the time to
the next event currently programmed into the corresponding clock
event device.

In addition to knowing the return value of tick_nohz_next_event(),
however, tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() needs to know the time to the
next highres timer event, but with the scheduler tick timer excluded,
which can be computed with the help of hrtimer_get_next_event().

That minimum of that number and the tick_nohz_next_event() return
value is the total time to the next timer event with the assumption
that the tick will be stopped.  It can be returned to the idle
governor which can use it for predicting idle duration (under the
assumption that the tick will be stopped) and deciding whether or
not it makes sense to stop the tick before putting the CPU into the
selected idle state.

With the above, the sleep_length field in struct tick_sched is not
necessary any more, so drop it.

45f1ff59e2 cpuidle: Return nohz hint from cpuidle_select()
Add a new pointer argument to cpuidle_select() and to the ->select
cpuidle governor callback to allow a boolean value indicating
whether or not the tick should be stopped before entering the
selected state to be returned from there.

Make the ladder governor ignore that pointer (to preserve its
current behavior) and make the menu governor return 'false" through
it if:
 (1) the idle exit latency is constrained at 0, or
 (2) the selected state is a polling one, or
 (3) the expected idle period duration is within the tick period
     range.

In addition to that, the correction factor computations in the menu
governor need to take the possibility that the tick may not be
stopped into account to avoid artificially small correction factor
values.  To that end, add a mechanism to record tick wakeups, as
suggested by Peter Zijlstra, and use it to modify the menu_update()
behavior when tick wakeup occurs.  Namely, if the CPU is woken up by
the tick and the return value of tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() is not
within the tick boundary, the predicted idle duration is likely too
short, so make menu_update() try to compensate for that by updating
the governor statistics as though the CPU was idle for a long time.

Since the value returned through the new argument pointer of
cpuidle_select() is not used by its caller yet, this change by
itself is not expected to alter the functionality of the code.

ed98c34919 sched: idle: Do not stop the tick before cpuidle_idle_call()
Make cpuidle_idle_call() decide whether or not to stop the tick.

First, the cpuidle_enter_s2idle() path deals with the tick (and with
the entire timekeeping for that matter) by itself and it doesn't need
the tick to be stopped beforehand.

Second, to address the issue with short idle duration predictions
by the idle governor after the tick has been stopped, it will be
necessary to change the ordering of cpuidle_select() with respect
to tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick().  To prepare for that, put a
tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() call in the same branch in which
cpuidle_select() is called.

2aaf709a51 sched: idle: Do not stop the tick upfront in the idle loop
Push the decision whether or not to stop the tick somewhat deeper
into the idle loop.

Stopping the tick upfront leads to unpleasant outcomes in case the
idle governor doesn't agree with the nohz code on the duration of the
upcoming idle period.  Specifically, if the tick has been stopped and
the idle governor predicts short idle, the situation is bad regardless
of whether or not the prediction is accurate.  If it is accurate, the
tick has been stopped unnecessarily which means excessive overhead.
If it is not accurate, the CPU is likely to spend too much time in
the (shallow, because short idle has been predicted) idle state
selected by the governor [1].

As the first step towards addressing this problem, change the code
to make the tick stopping decision inside of the loop in do_idle().
In particular, do not stop the tick in the cpu_idle_poll() code path.
Also don't do that in tick_nohz_irq_exit() which doesn't really have
enough information on whether or not to stop the tick.

0e7767687f time: tick-sched: Reorganize idle tick management code
Prepare the scheduler tick code for reworking the idle loop to
avoid stopping the tick in some cases.

The idea is to split the nohz idle entry call to decouple the idle
time stats accounting and preparatory work from the actual tick stop
code, in order to later be able to delay the tick stop once we reach
more power-knowledgeable callers.

Move away the tick_nohz_start_idle() invocation from
__tick_nohz_idle_enter(), rename the latter to
__tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() and define tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick()
as a wrapper around it for calling it from the outside.

Make tick_nohz_idle_enter() only call tick_nohz_start_idle() instead
of calling the entire __tick_nohz_idle_enter(), add another wrapper
disabling and enabling interrupts around tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick()
and make the current callers of tick_nohz_idle_enter() call it too
to retain their current functionality.

 - order the <linux/sched/*.h> headers alphabetically

 - add all <linux/sched/*.h> headers to kernel/sched/sched.h

 - remove all unnecessary includes from the .c files that

Finally, make all scheduler .c files use a single common header:

8663effb24 sched/core: Call __schedule() from do_idle() without enabling preemption
I finally got around to creating trampolines for dynamically allocated
ftrace_ops with using synchronize_rcu_tasks(). For users of the ftrace
function hook callbacks, like perf, that allocate the ftrace_ops
descriptor via kmalloc() and friends, ftrace was not able to optimize
the functions being traced to use a trampoline because they would also
need to be allocated dynamically. The problem is that they cannot be
freed when CONFIG_PREEMPT is set, as there's no way to tell if a task
was preempted on the trampoline. That was before Paul McKenney
implemented synchronize_rcu_tasks() that would make sure all tasks
(except idle) have scheduled out or have entered user space.

While testing this, I triggered this bug:

 BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffffa0230077
 ...
 RIP: 0010:0xffffffffa0230077
 ...
 Call Trace:
  schedule+0x5/0xe0
  schedule_preempt_disabled+0x18/0x30
  do_idle+0x172/0x220

What happened was that the idle task was preempted on the trampoline.
As synchronize_rcu_tasks() ignores the idle thread, there's nothing
that lets ftrace know that the idle task was preempted on a trampoline.

The idle task shouldn't need to ever enable preemption. The idle task
is simply a loop that calls schedule or places the cpu into idle mode.
In fact, having preemption enabled is inefficient, because it can
happen when idle is just about to call schedule anyway, which would
cause schedule to be called twice. Once for when the interrupt came in
and was returning back to normal context, and then again in the normal
path that the idle loop is running in, which would be pointless, as it
had already scheduled.

The only reason schedule_preempt_disable() enables preemption is to be
able to call sched_submit_work(), which requires preemption enabled. As
this is a nop when the task is in the RUNNING state, and idle is always
in the running state, there's no reason that idle needs to enable
preemption. But that means it cannot use schedule_preempt_disable() as
other callers of that function require calling sched_submit_work().

Adding a new function local to kernel/sched/ that allows idle to call
the scheduler without enabling preemption, fixes the
synchronize_rcu_tasks() issue, as well as removes the pointless spurious
schedule calls caused by interrupts happening in the brief window where
preemption is enabled just before it calls schedule.

d83a7cb375 livepatch: change to a per-task consistency model
Change livepatch to use a basic per-task consistency model.  This is the
foundation which will eventually enable us to patch those ~10% of
security patches which change function or data semantics.  This is the
biggest remaining piece needed to make livepatch more generally useful.

This code stems from the design proposal made by Vojtech [1] in November
2014.  It's a hybrid of kGraft and kpatch: it uses kGraft's per-task
consistency and syscall barrier switching combined with kpatch's stack
trace switching.  There are also a number of fallback options which make
it quite flexible.

Patches are applied on a per-task basis, when the task is deemed safe to
switch over.  When a patch is enabled, livepatch enters into a
transition state where tasks are converging to the patched state.
Usually this transition state can complete in a few seconds.  The same
sequence occurs when a patch is disabled, except the tasks converge from
the patched state to the unpatched state.

An interrupt handler inherits the patched state of the task it
interrupts.  The same is true for forked tasks: the child inherits the
patched state of the parent.

Livepatch uses several complementary approaches to determine when it's
safe to patch tasks:

1. The first and most effective approach is stack checking of sleeping
   tasks.  If no affected functions are on the stack of a given task,
   the task is patched.  In most cases this will patch most or all of
   the tasks on the first try.  Otherwise it'll keep trying
   periodically.  This option is only available if the architecture has
   reliable stacks (HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE).

2. The second approach, if needed, is kernel exit switching.  A
   task is switched when it returns to user space from a system call, a
   user space IRQ, or a signal.  It's useful in the following cases:

   a) Patching I/O-bound user tasks which are sleeping on an affected
      function.  In this case you have to send SIGSTOP and SIGCONT to
      force it to exit the kernel and be patched.
   b) Patching CPU-bound user tasks.  If the task is highly CPU-bound
      then it will get patched the next time it gets interrupted by an
      IRQ.
   c) In the future it could be useful for applying patches for
      architectures which don't yet have HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE.  In
      this case you would have to signal most of the tasks on the
      system.  However this isn't supported yet because there's
      currently no way to patch kthreads without
      HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE.

3. For idle "swapper" tasks, since they don't ever exit the kernel, they
   instead have a klp_update_patch_state() call in the idle loop which
   allows them to be patched before the CPU enters the idle state.

   (Note there's not yet such an approach for kthreads.)

All the above approaches may be skipped by setting the 'immediate' flag
in the 'klp_patch' struct, which will disable per-task consistency and
patch all tasks immediately.  This can be useful if the patch doesn't
change any function or data semantics.  Note that, even with this flag
set, it's possible that some tasks may still be running with an old
version of the function, until that function returns.

There's also an 'immediate' flag in the 'klp_func' struct which allows
you to specify that certain functions in the patch can be applied
without per-task consistency.  This might be useful if you want to patch
a common function like schedule(), and the function change doesn't need
consistency but the rest of the patch does.

For architectures which don't have HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE, the user
must set patch->immediate which causes all tasks to be patched
immediately.  This option should be used with care, only when the patch
doesn't change any function or data semantics.

In the future, architectures which don't have HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE
may be allowed to use per-task consistency if we can come up with
another way to patch kthreads.

The /sys/kernel/livepatch/<patch>/transition file shows whether a patch
is in transition.  Only a single patch (the topmost patch on the stack)
can be in transition at a given time.  A patch can remain in transition
indefinitely, if any of the tasks are stuck in the initial patch state.

A transition can be reversed and effectively canceled by writing the
opposite value to the /sys/kernel/livepatch/<patch>/enabled file while
the transition is in progress.  Then all the tasks will attempt to
converge back to the original patch state.

4c822698cb sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to <linux/sched/idle.h>
We are going to split  <linux/sched/idle.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/idle.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.

c1de45ca83 sched/idle: Add support for tasks that inject idle
Idle injection drivers such as Intel powerclamp and ACPI PAD drivers use
realtime tasks to take control of CPU then inject idle. There are two
issues with this approach:

 1. Low efficiency: injected idle task is treated as busy so sched ticks
    do not stop during injected idle period, the result of these
    unwanted wakeups can be ~20% loss in power savings.

 2. Idle accounting: injected idle time is presented to user as busy.

This patch addresses the issues by introducing a new PF_IDLE flag which
allows any given task to be treated as idle task while the flag is set.
Therefore, idle injection tasks can run through the normal flow of NOHZ
idle enter/exit to get the correct accounting as well as tick stop when
possible.

The implication is that idle task is then no longer limited to PID == 0.

bb8313b603 cpuidle: Allow enforcing deepest idle state selection
When idle injection is used to cap power, we need to override the
governor's choice of idle states.

For this reason, make it possible the deepest idle state selection to
be enforced by setting a flag on a given CPU to achieve the maximum
potential power draw reduction.

6727ad9e20 nmi_backtrace: generate one-line reports for idle cpus
When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative.  Suppress
messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".

We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
PC to see if it lies within that section.

This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
the minimal framework for other architectures.

df55f462b9 sched/idle: Optimize the generic idle loop
Currently, smp_processor_id() is used to fetch the current CPU in
cpu_idle_loop(). Every time the idle thread runs, it fetches the
current CPU using smp_processor_id().

Since the idle thread is per CPU, the current CPU is constant, so we
can lift the load out of the loop, saving execution cycles/time in the
loop.

x86-64:

Before patch (execution in loop):
	148:    0f ae e8                lfence
	14b:    65 8b 04 25 00 00 00 00 mov %gs:0x0,%eax

After patch (execution in loop):
	150:    0f ae e8                lfence
	153:    4d 0f a3 34 24          bt %r14,(%r12)

ARM64:

Before patch (execution in loop):
	168:    d5033d9f        dsb     ld
	16c:    b9405661        ldr     w1,[x19,#84]

	1b4:    54000ea0        b.eq    388

Further observance on ARM64 for 4 seconds shows that cpu_idle_loop is
called 8672 times. Shifting the code will save instructions executed
in loop and eventually time as well.
