f445027e4e stop_machine: make stop_machine safe and efficient to call early
Make stop_machine() safe to call early in boot, before SMP has been set
up, by simply calling the callback function directly if there's only one
CPU online.

[ Fixes from AKPM:
   - add comment
   - local_irq_flags, not save_flags
   - also call hard_irq_disable() for systems which need it

  Tejun suggested using an explicit flag rather than just looking at
  the online cpu count. ]

9984de1a5a kernel: Map most files to use export.h instead of module.h
The changed files were only including linux/module.h for the
EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructure, and nothing else.  Revector them
onto the isolated export header for faster compile times.

Nothing to see here but a whole lot of instances of:

  +#include <linux/export.h>

This commit is only changing the kernel dir; next targets
will probably be mm, fs, the arch dirs, etc.

192d885742 x86, mtrr: use stop_machine APIs for doing MTRR rendezvous
MTRR rendezvous sequence is not implemened using stop_machine() before, as this
gets called both from the process context aswell as the cpu online paths
(where the cpu has not come online and the interrupts are disabled etc).

Now that we have a new stop_machine_from_inactive_cpu() API, use it for
rendezvous during mtrr init of a logical processor that is coming online.

For the rest (runtime MTRR modification, system boot, resume paths), use
stop_machine() to implement the rendezvous sequence. This will consolidate and
cleanup the code.

f740e6cd0c stop_machine: implement stop_machine_from_inactive_cpu()
Currently, mtrr wants stop_machine functionality while a CPU is being
brought up.  As stop_machine() requires the calling CPU to be active,
mtrr implements its own stop_machine using stop_one_cpu() on each
online CPU.  This doesn't only unnecessarily duplicate complex logic
but also introduces a possibility of deadlock when it races against
the generic stop_machine().

This patch implements stop_machine_from_inactive_cpu() to serve such
use cases.  Its functionality is basically the same as stop_machine();
however, it should be called from a CPU which isn't active and doesn't
depend on working scheduling on the calling CPU.

This is achieved by using busy loops for synchronization and
open-coding stop_cpus queuing and waiting with direct invocation of
fn() for local CPU inbetween.

6d3321e8e2 x86, mtrr: lock stop machine during MTRR rendezvous sequence
MTRR rendezvous sequence using stop_one_cpu_nowait() can potentially
happen in parallel with another system wide rendezvous using
stop_machine(). This can lead to deadlock (The order in which
works are queued can be different on different cpu's. Some cpu's
will be running the first rendezvous handler and others will be running
the second rendezvous handler. Each set waiting for the other set to join
for the system wide rendezvous, leading to a deadlock).

MTRR rendezvous sequence is not implemented using stop_machine() as this
gets called both from the process context aswell as the cpu online paths
(where the cpu has not come online and the interrupts are disabled etc).
stop_machine() works with only online cpus.

For now, take the stop_machine mutex in the MTRR rendezvous sequence that
gets called from an online cpu (here we are in the process context
and can potentially sleep while taking the mutex). And the MTRR rendezvous
that gets triggered during cpu online doesn't need to take this stop_machine
lock (as the stop_machine() already ensures that there is no cpu hotplug
going on in parallel by doing get_online_cpus())

    TBD: Pursue a cleaner solution of extending the stop_machine()
         infrastructure to handle the case where the calling cpu is
         still not online and use this for MTRR rendezvous sequence.

34f971f6f7 sched: Create special class for stop/migrate work
In order to separate the stop/migrate work thread from the SCHED_FIFO
implementation, create a special class for it that is of higher priority than
SCHED_FIFO itself.

This currently solves a problem where cpu-hotplug consumes so much cpu-time
that the SCHED_FIFO class gets throttled, but has the bandwidth replenishment
timer pending on the now dead cpu.

It is also required for when we add the planned deadline scheduling class above
SCHED_FIFO, as the stop/migrate thread still needs to transcent those tasks.

54e88fad22 sched: Make sure timers have migrated before killing the migration_thread
Problem: In a stress test where some heavy tests were running along with
regular CPU offlining and onlining, a hang was observed. The system seems
to be hung at a point where migration_call() tries to kill the
migration_thread of the dying CPU, which just got moved to the current
CPU. This migration thread does not get a chance to run (and die) since
rt_throttled is set to 1 on current, and it doesn't get cleared as the
hrtimer which is supposed to reset the rt bandwidth
(sched_rt_period_timer) is tied to the CPU which we just marked dead!

Solution: This patch pushes the killing of migration thread to
"CPU_POST_DEAD" event. By then all the timers (including
sched_rt_period_timer) should have got migrated (along with other
callbacks).

969c79215a sched: replace migration_thread with cpu_stop
Currently migration_thread is serving three purposes - migration
pusher, context to execute active_load_balance() and forced context
switcher for expedited RCU synchronize_sched.  All three roles are
hardcoded into migration_thread() and determining which job is
scheduled is slightly messy.

This patch kills migration_thread and replaces all three uses with
cpu_stop.  The three different roles of migration_thread() are
splitted into three separate cpu_stop callbacks -
migration_cpu_stop(), active_load_balance_cpu_stop() and
synchronize_sched_expedited_cpu_stop() - and each use case now simply
asks cpu_stop to execute the callback as necessary.

synchronize_sched_expedited() was implemented with private
preallocated resources and custom multi-cpu queueing and waiting
logic, both of which are provided by cpu_stop.
synchronize_sched_expedited_count is made atomic and all other shared
resources along with the mutex are dropped.

synchronize_sched_expedited() also implemented a check to detect cases
where not all the callback got executed on their assigned cpus and
fall back to synchronize_sched().  If called with cpu hotplug blocked,
cpu_stop already guarantees that and the condition cannot happen;
otherwise, stop_machine() would break.  However, this patch preserves
the paranoid check using a cpumask to record on which cpus the stopper
ran so that it can serve as a bisection point if something actually
goes wrong theree.

Because the internal execution state is no longer visible,
rcu_expedited_torture_stats() is removed.

This patch also renames cpu_stop threads to from "stopper/%d" to
"migration/%d".  The names of these threads ultimately don't matter
and there's no reason to make unnecessary userland visible changes.

With this patch applied, stop_machine() and sched now share the same
resources.  stop_machine() is faster without wasting any resources and
sched migration users are much cleaner.

3fc1f1e27a stop_machine: reimplement using cpu_stop
Reimplement stop_machine using cpu_stop.  As cpu stoppers are
guaranteed to be available for all online cpus,
stop_machine_create/destroy() are no longer necessary and removed.

With resource management and synchronization handled by cpu_stop, the
new implementation is much simpler.  Asking the cpu_stop to execute
the stop_cpu() state machine on all online cpus with cpu hotplug
disabled is enough.

stop_machine itself doesn't need to manage any global resources
anymore, so all per-instance information is rolled into struct
stop_machine_data and the mutex and all static data variables are
removed.

The previous implementation created and destroyed RT workqueues as
necessary which made stop_machine() calls highly expensive on very
large machines.  According to Dimitri Sivanich, preventing the dynamic
creation/destruction makes booting faster more than twice on very
large machines.  cpu_stop resources are preallocated for all online
cpus and should have the same effect.

1142d81029 cpu_stop: implement stop_cpu[s]()
Implement a simplistic per-cpu maximum priority cpu monopolization
mechanism.  A non-sleeping callback can be scheduled to run on one or
multiple cpus with maximum priority monopolozing those cpus.  This is
primarily to replace and unify RT workqueue usage in stop_machine and
scheduler migration_thread which currently is serving multiple
purposes.

Four functions are provided - stop_one_cpu(), stop_one_cpu_nowait(),
stop_cpus() and try_stop_cpus().

This is to allow clean sharing of resources among stop_cpu and all the
migration thread users.  One stopper thread per cpu is created which
is currently named "stopper/CPU".  This will eventually replace the
migration thread and take on its name.

* This facility was originally named cpuhog and lived in separate
  files but Peter Zijlstra nacked the name and thus got renamed to
  cpu_stop and moved into stop_machine.c.

* Better reporting of preemption leak as per Peter's suggestion.

9ea09af3bd stop_machine: introduce stop_machine_create/destroy.
Introduce stop_machine_create/destroy. With this interface subsystems
that need a non-failing stop_machine environment can create the
stop_machine machine threads before actually calling stop_machine.
When the threads aren't needed anymore they can be killed with
stop_machine_destroy again.

When stop_machine gets called and the threads aren't present they
will be created and destroyed automatically. This restores the old
behaviour of stop_machine.

This patch also converts cpu hotplug to the new interface since it
is special: cpu_down calls __stop_machine instead of stop_machine.
However the kstop threads will only be created when stop_machine
gets called.

Changing the code so that the threads would be created automatically
on __stop_machine is currently not possible: when __stop_machine gets
called we hold cpu_add_remove_lock, which is the same lock that
create_rt_workqueue would take. So the workqueue needs to be created
before the cpu hotplug code locks cpu_add_remove_lock.

It also moves stop_machine_init() - which needs workqueues - to a later

satisfy all ordering requirements, and was apparently the reason why
init_workqueues() was moved to be too early.

8163bcac77 stop_machine: fix error code handling on multiple cpus
Using |= for updating a value which might be updated on several cpus
concurrently will not always work since we need to make sure that the
update happens atomically.
To fix this just use a write if the called function returns an error
code on a cpu. We end up writing the error code of an arbitrary cpu
if multiple ones fail but that should be sufficient.

c9583e55fa stop_machine: use workqueues instead of kernel threads
Convert stop_machine to a workqueue based approach. Instead of using kernel
threads for stop_machine we now use a an rt workqueue to synchronize all
cpus.
This has the advantage that all needed per cpu threads are already created
when stop_machine gets called. And therefore a call to stop_machine won't
fail anymore. This is needed for s390 which needs a mechanism to synchronize
all cpus without allocating any memory.
As Rusty pointed out free_module() needs a non-failing stop_machine interface
as well.

As a side effect the stop_machine code gets simplified.

eeec4fad96 stop_machine(): stop_machine_run() changed to use cpu mask
Instead of a "cpu" arg with magic values NR_CPUS (any cpu) and ~0 (all
cpus), pass a cpumask_t.  Allow NULL for the common case (where we
don't care which CPU the function is run on): temporary cpumask_t's
are usually considered bad for stack space.

This deprecates stop_machine_run, to be removed soon when all the
callers are dead.

ffdb5976c4 Simplify stop_machine
stop_machine creates a kthread which creates kernel threads.  We can
create those threads directly and simplify things a little.  Some care
must be taken with CPU hotunplug, which has special needs, but that code
seems more robust than it was in the past.

-allow stop_mahcine_run() to call a function on all cpus. Calling
 stop_machine_run() with a 'ALL_CPUS' invokes this new behavior.
 stop_machine_run() proceeds as normal until the calling cpu has
 invoked 'fn'. Then, we tell all the other cpus to call 'fn'.

65c0118453 cpumask: Replace cpumask_of_cpu with cpumask_of_cpu_ptr
* This patch replaces the dangerous lvalue version of cpumask_of_cpu
    with new cpumask_of_cpu_ptr macros.  These are patterned after the
    node_to_cpumask_ptr macros.

    In general terms, if there is a cpumask_of_cpu_map[] then a pointer to
    the cpumask_of_cpu_map[cpu] entry is used.  The cpumask_of_cpu_map
    is provided when there is a large NR_CPUS count, reducing
    greatly the amount of code generated and stack space used for
    cpumask_of_cpu().  The pointer to the cpumask_t value is needed for
    calling set_cpus_allowed_ptr() to reduce the amount of stack space
    needed to pass the cpumask_t value.

    If there isn't a cpumask_of_cpu_map[], then a temporary variable is
    declared and filled in with value from cpumask_of_cpu(cpu) as well as
    a pointer variable pointing to this temporary variable.  Afterwards,
    the pointer is used to reference the cpumask value.  The compiler
    will optimize out the extra dereference through the pointer as well
    as the stack space used for the pointer, resulting in identical code.

    A good example of the orthogonal usages is in net/sunrpc/svc.c:

	case SVC_POOL_PERCPU:
	{
		unsigned int cpu = m->pool_to[pidx];
		cpumask_of_cpu_ptr(cpumask, cpu);

		*oldmask = current->cpus_allowed;
		set_cpus_allowed_ptr(current, cpumask);
		return 1;
	}
	case SVC_POOL_PERNODE:
	{
		unsigned int node = m->pool_to[pidx];
		node_to_cpumask_ptr(nodecpumask, node);

		*oldmask = current->cpus_allowed;
		set_cpus_allowed_ptr(current, nodecpumask);
		return 1;
	}

3401a61e16 stop_machine: make stop_machine_run more virtualization friendly
On kvm I have seen some rare hangs in stop_machine when I used more guest
cpus than hosts cpus. e.g. 32 guest cpus on 1 host cpu triggered the
hang quite often. I could also reproduce the problem on a 4 way z/VM host with
a 64 way guest.

It turned out that the guest was consuming all available cpus mostly for
spinning on scheduler locks like rq->lock. This is expected as the threads are
calling yield all the time.
The problem is now, that the host scheduling decisings together with the guest
scheduling decisions and spinlocks not being fair managed to create an
interesting scenario similar to a live lock. (Sometimes the hang resolved
itself after some minutes)

Changing stop_machine to yield the cpu to the hypervisor when yielding inside
the guest fixed the problem for me. While I am not completely happy with this
patch, I think it causes no harm and it really improves the situation for me.

I used cpu_relax for yielding to the hypervisor, does that work on all
architectures?

p.s.: If you want to reproduce the problem, cpu hotplug and kprobes use
stop_machine_run and both triggered the problem after some retries.

Replace all lock_cpu_hotplug/unlock_cpu_hotplug from the kernel and use
get_online_cpus and put_online_cpus instead as it highlights the
refcount semantics in these operations.

The new API guarantees protection against the cpu-hotplug operation, but
it doesn't guarantee serialized access to any of the local data
structures. Hence the changes needs to be reviewed.

In case of pseries_add_processor/pseries_remove_processor, use
cpu_maps_update_begin()/cpu_maps_update_done() as we're modifying the
cpu_present_map there.

priority.  However that thread get such priority after woken up.
Therefore, in the following case ...

  - "kstopmachine" try to run on CPU1

  - There is a real time process which doesn't relinquish CPU time
    voluntary on CPU1

...  "kstopmachine" can't start to run and the CPU on which
    stop_machine_run() is runing hangs up.  To fix this problem, call
    sched_setscheduler() before waking up that thread.

ee527cd3a2 Use stop_machine_run in the Intel RNG driver
Replace call_smp_function with stop_machine_run in the Intel RNG driver.

CPU A has done read_lock(&lock)
CPU B has done write_lock_irq(&lock) and is waiting for A to release the lock.

A third CPU calls call_smp_function and issues the IPI.  CPU A takes CPU
C's IPI.  CPU B is waiting with interrupts disabled and does not see the
IPI.  CPU C is stuck waiting for CPU B to respond to the IPI.

Deadlock.

The solution is to use stop_machine_run instead of call_smp_function
(call_smp_function should not be called in situations where the CPUs may be
suspended).
