After all architectures were converted to the generic idle framework,
commit d190e8195b90 ("idle: Remove GENERIC_IDLE_LOOP config switch")
removed the last caller of cpu_idle(). The forward declarations in
header files were forgotten.

The name __smp_call_function_single() doesn't tell much about the
properties of this function, especially when compared to
smp_call_function_single().
The comments above the implementation are also misleading. The main
point of this function is actually not to be able to embed the csd
in an object. This is actually a requirement that result from the
purpose of this function which is to raise an IPI asynchronously.
As such it can be called with interrupts disabled. And this feature
comes at the cost of the caller who then needs to serialize the
IPIs on this csd.
Lets rename the function and enhance the comments so that they reflect
these properties.

The main point of calling __smp_call_function_single() is to send
an IPI in a pure asynchronous way. By embedding a csd in an object,
a caller can send the IPI without waiting for a previous one to complete
as is required by smp_call_function_single() for example. As such,
sending this kind of IPI can be safe even when irqs are disabled.
This flexibility comes at the expense of the caller who then needs to
synchronize the csd lifecycle by himself and make sure that IPIs on a
single csd are serialized.
This is how __smp_call_function_single() works when wait = 0 and this
usecase is relevant.
Now there don't seem to be any usecase with wait = 1 that can't be
covered by smp_call_function_single() instead, which is safer. Lets look
at the two possible scenario:
1) The user calls __smp_call_function_single(wait = 1) on a csd embedded
in an object. It looks like a nice and convenient pattern at the first
sight because we can then retrieve the object from the IPI handler easily.
But actually it is a waste of memory space in the object since the csd
can be allocated from the stack by smp_call_function_single(wait = 1)
and the object can be passed an the IPI argument.
Besides that, embedding the csd in an object is more error prone
because the caller must take care of the serialization of the IPIs
for this csd.
2) The user calls __smp_call_function_single(wait = 1) on a csd that
is allocated on the stack. It's ok but smp_call_function_single()
can do it as well and it already takes care of the allocation on the
stack. Again it's more simple and less error prone.
Therefore, using the underscore prepend API version with wait = 1
is a bad pattern and a sign that the caller can do safer and more
simple.
There was a single user of that which has just been converted.
So lets remove this option to discourage further users.

watchdog_tresh controls how often nmi perf event counter checks per-cpu
hrtimer_interrupts counter and blows up if the counter hasn't changed
since the last check. The counter is updated by per-cpu
watchdog_hrtimer hrtimer which is scheduled with 2/5 watchdog_thresh
period which guarantees that hrtimer is scheduled 2 times per the main
period. Both hrtimer and perf event are started together when the
watchdog is enabled.
So far so good. But...
But what happens when watchdog_thresh is updated from sysctl handler?
proc_dowatchdog will set a new sampling period and hrtimer callback
(watchdog_timer_fn) will use the new value in the next round. The
problem, however, is that nobody tells the perf event that the sampling
period has changed so it is ticking with the period configured when it
has been set up.
This might result in an ear ripping dissonance between perf and hrtimer
parts if the watchdog_thresh is increased. And even worse it might lead
to KABOOM if the watchdog is configured to panic on such a spurious
lockup.
This patch fixes the issue by updating both nmi perf even counter and
hrtimers if the threshold value has changed.
The nmi one is disabled and then reinitialized from scratch. This has
an unpleasant side effect that the allocation of the new event might
fail theoretically so the hard lockup detector would be disabled for
such cpus. On the other hand such a memory allocation failure is very
unlikely because the original event is deallocated right before.
It would be much nicer if we just changed perf event period but there
doesn't seem to be any API to do that right now. It is also unfortunate
that perf_event_alloc uses GFP_KERNEL allocation unconditionally so we
cannot use on_each_cpu() and do the same thing from the per-cpu context.
The update from the current CPU should be safe because
perf_event_disable removes the event atomically before it clears the
per-cpu watchdog_ev so it cannot change anything under running handler
feet.
The hrtimer is simply restarted (thanks to Don Zickus who has pointed
this out) if it is queued because we cannot rely it will fire&adopt to
the new sampling period before a new nmi event triggers (when the
treshold is decreased).

out-of-line in up.c. Move on_each_cpu() there as well.
This allows us to get rid of the #include <linux/irqflags.h>. The

As in commit f21afc25f9ed ("smp.h: Use local_irq_{save,restore}() in
!SMP version of on_each_cpu()"), we don't want to enable irqs if they
are not already enabled. There are currently no known problematical
callers of these functions, but since it is a known failure pattern, we
preemptively fix them.
Since they are not trivial functions, make them non-inline by moving
them to up.c. This also makes it so we don't have to fix #include
dependancies for preempt_{disable,enable}.

Commit f21afc25f9ed ("smp.h: Use local_irq_{save,restore}() in !SMP
version of on_each_cpu()") converted on_each_cpu() to a C function.
This required inclusion of irqflags.h, which broke ia64 and mn10300 (at
least) due to header ordering hell.
Switch on_each_cpu() back to a macro to fix this.

Thanks to commit f91eb62f71b3 ("init: scream bloody murder if interrupts
are enabled too early"), "bloody murder" is now being screamed.
With a MIPS OCTEON config, we use on_each_cpu() in our
irq_chip.irq_bus_sync_unlock() function. This gets called in early as a
result of the time_init() call. Because the !SMP version of
on_each_cpu() unconditionally enables irqs, we get:
WARNING: at init/main.c:560 start_kernel+0x250/0x410()
Interrupts were enabled early
CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper Not tainted 3.10.0-rc5-Cavium-Octeon+ #801
Call Trace:
show_stack+0x68/0x80
warn_slowpath_common+0x78/0xb0
warn_slowpath_fmt+0x38/0x48
start_kernel+0x250/0x410
Suggested fix: Do what we already do in the SMP version of
on_each_cpu(), and use local_irq_save/local_irq_restore. Because we
need a flags variable, make it a static inline to avoid name space
issues.
[ Change from v1: Convert on_each_cpu to a static inline function, add
#include <linux/irqflags.h> to avoid build breakage on some files.
on_each_cpu_mask() and on_each_cpu_cond() suffer the same problem as
on_each_cpu(), but they are not causing !SMP bugs for me, so I will
defer changing them to a less urgent patch. ]

smp_call_function_single()
I'm testing swapout workload in a two-socket Xeon machine. The workload
has 10 threads, each thread sequentially accesses separate memory
region. TLB flush overhead is very big in the workload. For each page,
page reclaim need move it from active lru list and then unmap it. Both
need a TLB flush. And this is a multthread workload, TLB flush happens
in 10 CPUs. In X86, TLB flush uses generic smp_call)function. So this
workload stress smp_call_function_many heavily.
Without patch, perf shows:
+ 24.49% [k] generic_smp_call_function_interrupt
- 21.72% [k] _raw_spin_lock
- _raw_spin_lock
+ 79.80% __page_check_address
+ 6.42% generic_smp_call_function_interrupt

+ 1.75% handle_pte_fault

+ 0.68% blk_flush_plug_list
+ 0.62% swap_info_get
+ 6.55% [k] flush_tlb_func
+ 6.46% [k] smp_call_function_many
+ 5.09% [k] call_function_interrupt
+ 4.75% [k] default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys
+ 2.18% [k] find_next_bit
swapout throughput is around 1300M/s.
With the patch, perf shows:
- 27.23% [k] _raw_spin_lock
- _raw_spin_lock
+ 80.53% __page_check_address
+ 8.39% generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt
+ 2.44% get_swap_page

+ 7.25% [k] flush_tlb_func
+ 3.81% [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
+ 3.78% [k] generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt
swapout throughput is around 1400M/s. So there is around a 7%
improvement, and total cpu utilization doesn't change.
Without the patch, cfd_data is shared by all CPUs.
generic_smp_call_function_interrupt does read/write cfd_data several times
which will create a lot of cache ping-pong. With the patch, the data
becomes per-cpu. The ping-pong is avoided. And from the perf data, this
doesn't make call_single_queue lock contend.
Next step is to remove generic_smp_call_function_interrupt() from arch
code.

Add the on_each_cpu_cond() function that wraps on_each_cpu_mask() and
calculates the cpumask of cpus to IPI by calling a function supplied as a
parameter in order to determine whether to IPI each specific cpu.
The function works around allocation failure of cpumask variable in
CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y by itereating over cpus sending an IPI a time
via smp_call_function_single().
The function is useful since it allows to seperate the specific code that
decided in each case whether to IPI a specific cpu for a specific request
from the common boilerplate code of handling creating the mask, handling
failures etc.

We have lots of infrastructure in place to partition multi-core systems
such that we have a group of CPUs that are dedicated to specific task:
cgroups, scheduler and interrupt affinity, and cpuisol= boot parameter.
Still, kernel code will at times interrupt all CPUs in the system via IPIs
for various needs. These IPIs are useful and cannot be avoided
altogether, but in certain cases it is possible to interrupt only specific
CPUs that have useful work to do and not the entire system.
This patch set, inspired by discussions with Peter Zijlstra and Frederic
Weisbecker when testing the nohz task patch set, is a first stab at trying
to explore doing this by locating the places where such global IPI calls
are being made and turning the global IPI into an IPI for a specific group
of CPUs. The purpose of the patch set is to get feedback if this is the
right way to go for dealing with this issue and indeed, if the issue is
even worth dealing with at all. Based on the feedback from this patch set
I plan to offer further patches that address similar issue in other code
paths.
This patch creates an on_each_cpu_mask() and on_each_cpu_cond()
infrastructure API (the former derived from existing arch specific
versions in Tile and Arm) and uses them to turn several global IPI
invocation to per CPU group invocations.
Core kernel:
on_each_cpu_mask() calls a function on processors specified by cpumask,
which may or may not include the local processor.
You must not call this function with disabled interrupts or from a
hardware interrupt handler or from a bottom half handler.
arch/arm:
Note that the generic version is a little different then the Arm one:
1. It has the mask as first parameter
2. It calls the function on the calling CPU with interrupts disabled,
but this should be OK since the function is called on the other CPUs
with interrupts disabled anyway.
arch/tile:
The API is the same as the tile private one, but the generic version
also calls the function on the with interrupts disabled in UP case
This is OK since the function is called on the other CPUs
with interrupts disabled.

enabling interrupts
There is a problem that kdump(2nd kernel) sometimes hangs up due
to a pending IPI from 1st kernel. Kernel panic occurs because IPI
comes before call_single_queue is initialized.
To fix the crash, rename init_call_single_data() to call_function_init()
and call it in start_kernel() so that call_single_queue can be
initialized before enabling interrupts.
The details of the crash are:
(1) 2nd kernel boots up
(2) A pending IPI from 1st kernel comes when irqs are first enabled
in start_kernel().
(3) Kernel tries to handle the interrupt, but call_single_queue
is not initialized yet at this point. As a result, in the
generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt(), NULL pointer
dereference occurs when list_replace_init() tries to access
&q->list.next.
Therefore this patch changes the name of init_call_single_data()
to call_function_init() and calls it before local_irq_enable()
in start_kernel().

Andrew points out that acpi-cpufreq uses cpumask_any, when it really
would prefer to use the same CPU if possible (to avoid an IPI). In
general, this seems a good idea to offer.

put_cpu_no_resched() is an optimization of put_cpu() which unfortunately
can cause high latencies.
The nfs iostats code uses put_cpu_no_resched() in a code sequence where a
reschedule request caused by an interrupt between the get_cpu() and the
put_cpu_no_resched() can delay the reschedule for at least HZ.
The other users of put_cpu_no_resched() optimize correctly in interrupt
code, but there is no real harm in using the put_cpu() function which is
an alias for preempt_enable(). The extra check of the preemmpt count is
not as critical as the potential source of missing a reschedule.
Debugged in the preempt-rt tree and verified in mainline.
Impact: remove a high latency source

disable_ioapic_setup()
Impact: cleanup
disable_ioapic_setup() in init/main.c is ugly as the function is
x86-specific. The #ifdef inline prototype there is ugly too.
Replace it with a generic arch_disable_smp_support() function - which
has a weak alias for non-x86 architectures and for non-ioapic x86 builds.

If you do
smp_call_function_single(expression-with-side-effects, ...)
then expression-with-side-effects never gets evaluated on UP builds.
As always, implementing it in C is the correct thing to do.
While we're there, uninline it for size and possible header dependency
reasons.
And create a new kernel/up.c, as a place in which to put
uniprocessor-specific code and storage. It should mirror kernel/smp.c.

Impact: Implementation change to remove cpumask_t from stack.
Actually change smp_call_function_mask() to smp_call_function_many().
We avoid cpumasks on the stack in this version.
(S390 has its own version, but that's going away apparently).
We have to do some dancing to figure out if 0 or 1 other cpus are in
the mask supplied and the online mask without allocating a tmp
cpumask. It's still fairly cheap.
We allocate the cpumask at the end of the call_function_data
structure: if allocation fails we fallback to smp_call_function_single
rather than using the baroque quiescing code (which needs a cpumask on
stack).

Impact: add new sysfs files.
Add sysfs files "kernel_max" and "offline" to display the max CPU index
allowed (NR_CPUS-1), and the map of cpus that are offline.
Cpus can be offlined via HOTPLUG, disabled by the BIOS ACPI tables, or
if they exceed the number of cpus allowed by the NR_CPUS config option,
or the "maxcpus=NUM" kernel start parameter.
The "possible_cpus=NUM" parameter can also extend the number of possible
cpus allowed, in which case the cpus not present at startup will be
in the offline state. (These cpus can be HOTPLUGGED ON after system
startup [pending a follow-on patch to provide the capability via the
/sys/devices/sys/cpu/cpuN/online mechanism to bring them online.])
By design, the "offlined cpus > possible cpus" display will always
use the following formats:
* all possible cpus online: "x$" or "x-y$"
* some possible cpus offline: ".*,x$" or ".*,x-y$"
where:
x == number of possible cpus (nr_cpu_ids); and
y == number of cpus >= NR_CPUS or maxcpus (if y > x).
One use of this feature is for distros to select (or configure) the
appropriate kernel to install for the resident system.
Notes:
* cpus offlined <= possible cpus will be printed for all architectures.
* cpus offlined > possible cpus will only be printed for arches that
set 'total_cpus' [X86 only in this patch].

Impact: introduce new APIs
We want to deprecate cpumasks on the stack, as we are headed for
gynormous numbers of CPUs. Eventually, we want to head towards an
undefined 'struct cpumask' so they can never be declared on stack.
1) New cpumask functions which take pointers instead of copies.
(cpus_* -> cpumask_*)
2) Several new helpers to reduce requirements for temporary cpumasks
(cpumask_first_and, cpumask_next_and, cpumask_any_and)
3) Helpers for declaring cpumasks on or offstack for large NR_CPUS
(cpumask_var_t, alloc_cpumask_var and free_cpumask_var)
4) 'struct cpumask' for explicitness and to mark new-style code.
5) Make iterator functions stop at nr_cpu_ids (a runtime constant),
not NR_CPUS for time efficiency and for smaller dynamic allocations
in future.
6) cpumask_copy() so we can allocate less than a full cpumask eventually
(for alloc_cpumask_var), and so we can eliminate the 'struct cpumask'
definition eventually.
7) work_on_cpu() helper for doing task on a CPU, rather than saving old
cpumask for current thread and manipulating it.
8) smp_call_function_many() which is smp_call_function_mask() except
taking a cpumask pointer.
Note that this patch simply introduces the new functions and leaves
the obsolescent ones in place. This is to simplify the transition
patches.

This adds kernel/smp.c which contains helpers for IPI function calls. In
addition to supporting the existing smp_call_function() in a more efficient
manner, it also adds a more scalable variant called smp_call_function_single()
for calling a given function on a single CPU only.
The core of this is based on the x86-64 patch from Nick Piggin, lots of
changes since then. "Alan D. Brunelle" <Alan.Brunelle@hp.com> has
contributed lots of fixes and suggestions as well. Also thanks to
Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> for reviewing RCU usage

On VMs implemented using JITs that cache translated code changing the lock
prefixes is a quite costly operation that forces the JIT to throw away and
retranslate a lot of code.
Previously a SMP kernel would rewrite the locks once for each CPU which
is quite unnecessary. This patch changes the code to never switch at boot in
the normal case (SMP kernel booting with >1 CPU) or only once for SMP kernel
on UP.
This makes a significant difference in boot up performance on AMD SimNow!
Also I expect it to be a little faster on native systems too because a smp
switch does a lot of text_poke()s which each synchronize the pipeline.
