Amerigo Wang 351f8f8e64 kernel: clean up USE_GENERIC_SMP_HELPERS
For arch which needs USE_GENERIC_SMP_HELPERS, it has to select
USE_GENERIC_SMP_HELPERS, rather than leaving a choice to user, since they
don't provide their own implementions.

Also, move on_each_cpu() to kernel/smp.c, it is strange to put it in
kernel/softirq.c.

For arch which doesn't use USE_GENERIC_SMP_HELPERS, e.g.  blackfin, only
on_each_cpu() is compiled.

Peter Zijlstra c9b5f501ef sched: Constify function scope static struct sched_param usage
Function-scope statics are discouraged because they are
easily overlooked and can cause subtle bugs/races due to
their global (non-SMP safe) nature.

Linus noticed that we did this for sched_param - at minimum

Christoph Lameter 909ea96468 core: Replace __get_cpu_var with __this_cpu_read if not used for an address.
__get_cpu_var() can be replaced with this_cpu_read and will then use a
single read instruction with implied address calculation to access the
correct per cpu instance.

However, the address of a per cpu variable passed to __this_cpu_read()
cannot be determined (since it's an implied address conversion through
segment prefixes).  Therefore apply this only to uses of __get_cpu_var
where the address of the variable is not used.

Thomas Gleixner f4bc6bb2d5 tracing: Cleanup the convoluted softirq tracepoints
With the addition of trace_softirq_raise() the softirq tracepoint got
even more convoluted. Why the tracepoints take two pointers to assign
an integer is beyond my comprehension.

But adding an extra case which treats the first pointer as an unsigned
long when the second pointer is NULL including the back and forth
type casting is just horrible.

Convert the softirq tracepoints to take a single unsigned int argument
for the softirq vector number and fix the call sites.

Venkatesh Pallipadi d267f87fb8 sched: Call tick_check_idle before __irq_enter
When CPU is idle and on first interrupt, irq_enter calls tick_check_idle()
to notify interruption from idle. But, there is a problem if this call
is done after __irq_enter, as all routines in __irq_enter may find
stale time due to yet to be done tick_check_idle.

Specifically, trace calls in __irq_enter when they use global clock and also
account_system_vtime change in this patch as it wants to use sched_clock_cpu()
to do proper irq timing.

But, tick_check_idle was moved after __irq_enter intentionally to
prevent problem of unneeded ksoftirqd wakeups by the commit ee5f80a:

    irq: call __irq_enter() before calling the tick_idle_check
    Impact: avoid spurious ksoftirqd wakeups

Moving tick_check_idle() before __irq_enter and wrapping it with
local_bh_enable/disable would solve both the problems.

Venkatesh Pallipadi 6cdd5199da sched: Add a PF flag for ksoftirqd identification
To account softirq time cleanly in scheduler, we need to identify whether
softirq is invoked in ksoftirqd context or softirq at hardirq tail context.
Add PF_KSOFTIRQD for that purpose.

As all PF flag bits are currently taken, create space by moving one of the
infrequently used bits (PF_THREAD_BOUND) down in task_struct to be along
with some other state fields.

Venkatesh Pallipadi 75e1056f5c sched: Fix softirq time accounting
Peter Zijlstra found a bug in the way softirq time is accounted in
VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING on this thread:

   http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail//linux/kernel/1009.2/01366.html

The problem is, softirq processing uses local_bh_disable internally. There
is no way, later in the flow, to differentiate between whether softirq is
being processed or is it just that bh has been disabled. So, a hardirq when bh
is disabled results in time being wrongly accounted as softirq.

Looking at the code a bit more, the problem exists in !VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
as well. As account_system_time() in normal tick based accouting also uses
softirq_count, which will be set even when not in softirq with bh disabled.

Peter also suggested solution of using 2*SOFTIRQ_OFFSET as irq count
for local_bh_{disable,enable} and using just SOFTIRQ_OFFSET while softirq
processing. The patch below does that and adds API in_serving_softirq() which
returns whether we are currently processing softirq or not.

Also changes one of the usages of softirq_count in net/sched/cls_cgroup.c
to in_serving_softirq.

Looks like many usages of in_softirq really want in_serving_softirq. Those
changes can be made individually on a case by case basis.

Paul E. McKenney 25502a6c13 rcu: refactor RCU's context-switch handling
The addition of preemptible RCU to treercu resulted in a bit of
confusion and inefficiency surrounding the handling of context switches
for RCU-sched and for RCU-preempt.  For RCU-sched, a context switch
is a quiescent state, pure and simple, just like it always has been.
For RCU-preempt, a context switch is in no way a quiescent state, but
special handling is required when a task blocks in an RCU read-side
critical section.

However, the callout from the scheduler and the outer loop in ksoftirqd
still calls something named rcu_sched_qs(), whose name is no longer
accurate.  Furthermore, when rcu_check_callbacks() notes an RCU-sched
quiescent state, it ends up unnecessarily (though harmlessly, aside
from the performance hit) enqueuing the current task if it happens to
be running in an RCU-preempt read-side critical section.  This not only
increases the maximum latency of scheduler_tick(), it also needlessly
increases the overhead of the next outermost rcu_read_unlock() invocation.

This patch addresses this situation by separating the notion of RCU's
context-switch handling from that of RCU-sched's quiescent states.
The context-switch handling is covered by rcu_note_context_switch() in
general and by rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() for preemptible RCU.
This permits rcu_sched_qs() to handle quiescent states and only quiescent
states.  It also reduces the maximum latency of scheduler_tick(), though
probably by much less than a microsecond.  Finally, it means that tasks
within preemptible-RCU read-side critical sections avoid incurring the
overhead of queuing unless there really is a context switch.

Lai Jiangshan c5e0cb3ddc rcu: Cleanup: balance rcu_irq_enter()/rcu_irq_exit() calls
Currently, rcu_irq_exit() is invoked only for CONFIG_NO_HZ,
while rcu_irq_enter() is invoked unconditionally.  This patch
moves rcu_irq_exit() out from under CONFIG_NO_HZ so that the
calls are balanced.

This patch has no effect on the behavior of the kernel because
both rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit() are empty for
!CONFIG_NO_HZ, but the code is easier to understand if the calls
are obviously balanced in all cases.

implementations, with "RCU" defined in terms of one of the
three.  Update the outdated rcu_qsctr_inc() names, as these
functions no longer increment anything.

Peter Zijlstra 9ba5f005c9 softirq: introduce tasklet_hrtimer infrastructure
commit ca109491f (hrtimer: removing all ur callback modes) moved all
hrtimer callbacks into hard interrupt context when high resolution
timers are active. That breaks code which relied on the assumption
that the callback happens in softirq context.

Provide a generic infrastructure which combines tasklets and hrtimers
together to provide an in-softirq hrtimer experience.

Keika Kobayashi aa0ce5bbc2 softirq: introduce statistics for softirq
Statistics for softirq doesn't exist.
It will be helpful like statistics for interrupts.
This patch introduces counting the number of softirq,
which will be exported in /proc/softirqs.

When softirq handler consumes much CPU time,
/proc/stat is like the following.

$ while :; do  cat /proc/stat | head -n1 ; sleep 10 ; done
cpu  88 0 408 739665 583 28 2 0 0
cpu  450 0 1090 740970 594 28 1294 0 0
                              ^^^^
                             softirq

In such a situation,
/proc/softirqs shows us which softirq handler is invoked.
We can see the increase rate of softirqs.

<before>
$ cat /proc/softirqs
                CPU0       CPU1       CPU2       CPU3

RCU             3505       2948       3947       3673

When CPU TIME of softirq is high,
the rates of increase is the following.
  TIMER  : 220/sec     : CPU1-3
  NET_TX : 5/sec       : CPU0
  NET_RX : 120/sec     : CPU0
  SCHED  : 40-200/sec  : all CPU
  RCU    : 45-58/sec   : all CPU

The rates of increase in an idle mode is the following.
  TIMER  : 250/sec
  SCHED  : 250/sec
  RCU    : 2/sec

It seems many softirqs for receiving packets and rcu are invoked.  This
gives us help for checking system.

Vegard Nossum 7c692cbade tasklets: new tasklet scheduling function
Rationale: kmemcheck needs to be able to schedule a tasklet without
touching any dynamically allocated memory _at_ _all_ (since that would
lead to a recursive page fault). This tasklet is used for writing the
error reports to the kernel log.

The new scheduling function avoids touching any other tasklets by
inserting the new tasklist as the head of the "tasklet_hi" list instead
of on the tail.

Also don't wake up the softirq thread lest the scheduler access some
tracked memory and we go down with a recursive page fault.

In this case, we'd better just wait for the maximum time of 1/HZ for the
message to appear.

Heiko Carstens a0e39ed378 tracing: fix build failure on s390
"tracing: create automated trace defines" causes this compile error on s390,
as reported by Sachin Sant against linux-next:

 kernel/built-in.o: In function `__do_softirq':
 (.text+0x1c680): undefined reference to `__tracepoint_softirq_entry'

This happens because the definitions of the softirq tracepoints were moved
from kernel/softirq.c to kernel/irq/handle.c. Since s390 doesn't support
generic hardirqs handle.c doesn't get compiled and the definitions are
missing.

So move the tracepoints to softirq.c again.

Steven Rostedt a8d154b009 tracing: create automated trace defines
This patch lowers the number of places a developer must modify to add
new tracepoints. The current method to add a new tracepoint
into an existing system is to write the trace point macro in the
trace header with one of the macros TRACE_EVENT, TRACE_FORMAT or
DECLARE_TRACE, then they must add the same named item into the C file
with the macro DEFINE_TRACE(name) and then add the trace point.

This change cuts out the needing to add the DEFINE_TRACE(name).
Every file that uses the tracepoint must still include the trace/<type>.h
file, but the one C file must also add a define before the including
of that file.

 #define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
 #include <trace/mytrace.h>

This will cause the trace/mytrace.h file to also produce the C code
necessary to implement the trace point.

Note, if more than one trace/<type>.h is used to create the C code
it is best to list them all together.

 #define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
 #include <trace/foo.h>
 #include <trace/bar.h>
 #include <trace/fido.h>

Thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers and Christoph Hellwig for coming up with
the cleaner solution of the define above the includes over my first
design to have the C code include a "special" header.

This patch converts sched, irq and lockdep and skb to use this new
method.

Peter Zijlstra 7f1e2ca9f0 hrtimer: fix rq->lock inversion (again)
It appears I inadvertly introduced rq->lock recursion to the
hrtimer_start() path when I delegated running already expired
timers to softirq context.

This patch fixes it by introducing a __hrtimer_start_range_ns()
method that will not use raise_softirq_irqoff() but
__raise_softirq_irqoff() which avoids the wakeup.

It then also changes schedule() to check for pending softirqs and
do the wakeup then, I'm not quite sure I like this last bit, nor
am I convinced its really needed.
