Thomas Gleixner bc2d8d262c cpu/hotplug: Fix SMT supported evaluation
Josh reported that the late SMT evaluation in cpu_smt_state_init() sets
cpu_smt_control to CPU_SMT_NOT_SUPPORTED in case that 'nosmt' was supplied
on the kernel command line as it cannot differentiate between SMT disabled
by BIOS and SMT soft disable via 'nosmt'. That wreckages the state and
makes the sysfs interface unusable.

Rework this so that during bringup of the non boot CPUs the availability of
SMT is determined in cpu_smt_allowed(). If a newly booted CPU is not a
'primary' thread then set the local cpu_smt_available marker and evaluate
this explicitely right after the initial SMP bringup has finished.

SMT evaulation on x86 is a trainwreck as the firmware has all the
information _before_ booting the kernel, but there is no interface to query
it.

Alexey Dobriyan 9b130ad5bb treewide: make "nr_cpu_ids" unsigned
First, number of CPUs can't be negative number.

Second, different signnnedness leads to suboptimal code in the following
cases:

1)
	kmalloc(nr_cpu_ids * sizeof(X));

"int" has to be sign extended to size_t.

2)
	while (loff_t *pos < nr_cpu_ids)

MOVSXD is 1 byte longed than the same MOV.

Other cases exist as well. Basically compiler is told that nr_cpu_ids
can't be negative which can't be deduced if it is "int".

Ying Huang 966a967116 smp: Avoid using two cache lines for struct call_single_data
struct call_single_data is used in IPIs to transfer information between
CPUs.  Its size is bigger than sizeof(unsigned long) and less than
cache line size.  Currently it is not allocated with any explicit alignment
requirements.  This makes it possible for allocated call_single_data to
cross two cache lines, which results in double the number of the cache lines
that need to be transferred among CPUs.

This can be fixed by requiring call_single_data to be aligned with the
size of call_single_data. Currently the size of call_single_data is the
power of 2.  If we add new fields to call_single_data, we may need to
add padding to make sure the size of new definition is the power of 2
as well.

Fortunately, this is enforced by GCC, which will report bad sizes.

To set alignment requirements of call_single_data to the size of
call_single_data, a struct definition and a typedef is used.

To test the effect of the patch, I used the vm-scalability multiple
thread swap test case (swap-w-seq-mt).  The test will create multiple
threads and each thread will eat memory until all RAM and part of swap
is used, so that huge number of IPIs are triggered when unmapping
memory.  In the test, the throughput of memory writing improves ~5%
compared with misaligned call_single_data, because of faster IPIs.

Aaron Lu 3fc5b3b6a8 smp: Avoid sending needless IPI in smp_call_function_many()
Inter-Processor-Interrupt(IPI) is needed when a page is unmapped and the
process' mm_cpumask() shows the process has ever run on other CPUs. page
migration, page reclaim all need IPIs. The number of IPI needed to send
to different CPUs is especially large for multi-threaded workload since
mm_cpumask() is per process.

For smp_call_function_many(), whenever a CPU queues a CSD to a target
CPU, it will send an IPI to let the target CPU to handle the work.
This isn't necessary - we need only send IPI when queueing a CSD
to an empty call_single_queue.

The reason:

flush_smp_call_function_queue() that is called upon a CPU receiving an
IPI will empty the queue and then handle all of the CSDs there. So if
the target CPU's call_single_queue is not empty, we know that:
i.  An IPI for the target CPU has already been sent by 'previous queuers';
ii. flush_smp_call_function_queue() hasn't emptied that CPU's queue yet.
Thus, it's safe for us to just queue our CSD there without sending an
addtional IPI. And for the 'previous queuers', we can limit it to the
first queuer.

To demonstrate the effect of this patch, a multi-thread workload that
spawns 80 threads to equally consume 100G memory is used. This is tested
on a 2 node broadwell-EP which has 44cores/88threads and 32G memory. So
after 32G memory is used up, page reclaiming starts to happen a lot.

With this patch, IPI number dropped 88% and throughput increased about
15% for the above workload.

Michael Ellerman 51111dce25 kernel/smp: Tell the user we're bringing up secondary CPUs
Currently we don't print anything before starting to bring up secondary
CPUs. This can be confusing if it takes a long time to bring up the
secondaries, or if the kernel crashes while doing so and produces no
further output.

On x86 they work around this by detecting when the first secondary CPU
comes up and printing a message (see announce_cpu()). But doing it in
smp_init() is simpler and works for all arches.

Michael Ellerman 92b2327829 kernel/smp: Make the SMP boot message common on all arches
Currently after bringing up secondary CPUs all arches print "Brought up
%d CPUs". On x86 they also print the number of nodes that were brought
online.

It would be nice to also print the number of nodes on other arches.
Although we could override smp_announce() on the other ~10 NUMA aware
arches, it seems simpler to just always print the number of nodes. On
non-NUMA arches there is just always 1 node.

Having done that, smp_announce() is no longer weak, and seems small
enough to just pull directly into smp_init().

Also update the printing of "%d CPUs" to be smart when an SMP kernel is
booted on a single CPU system, or when only one CPU is available, eg:

   smp: Brought up 2 nodes, 1 CPU

Linus Torvalds 710d60cbf1 Merge branch 'smp-hotplug-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull cpu hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This is the first part of the ongoing cpu hotplug rework:

   - Initial implementation of the state machine

   - Runs all online and prepare down callbacks on the plugged cpu and
     not on some random processor

   - Replaces busy loop waiting with completions

   - Adds tracepoints so the states can be followed"

More detailed commentary on this work from an earlier email:
 "What's wrong with the current cpu hotplug infrastructure?

   - Asymmetry

     The hotplug notifier mechanism is asymmetric versus the bringup and
     teardown.  This is mostly caused by the notifier mechanism.

   - Largely undocumented dependencies

     While some notifiers use explicitely defined notifier priorities,
     we have quite some notifiers which use numerical priorities to
     express dependencies without any documentation why.

   - Control processor driven

     Most of the bringup/teardown of a cpu is driven by a control
     processor.  While it is understandable, that preperatory steps,
     like idle thread creation, memory allocation for and initialization
     of essential facilities needs to be done before a cpu can boot,
     there is no reason why everything else must run on a control
     processor.  Before this patch series, bringup looks like this:

       Control CPU                     Booting CPU

       do preparatory steps
       kick cpu into life

                                       do low level init

       sync with booting cpu           sync with control cpu

       bring the rest up

   - All or nothing approach

     There is no way to do partial bringups.  That's something which is
     really desired because we waste e.g.  at boot substantial amount of
     time just busy waiting that the cpu comes to life.  That's stupid
     as we could very well do preparatory steps and the initial IPI for
     other cpus and then go back and do the necessary low level
     synchronization with the freshly booted cpu.

   - Minimal debuggability

     Due to the notifier based design, it's impossible to switch between
     two stages of the bringup/teardown back and forth in order to test
     the correctness.  So in many hotplug notifiers the cancel
     mechanisms are either not existant or completely untested.

   - Notifier [un]registering is tedious

     To [un]register notifiers we need to protect against hotplug at
     every callsite.  There is no mechanism that bringup/teardown
     callbacks are issued on the online cpus, so every caller needs to
     do it itself.  That also includes error rollback.

  What's the new design?

     The base of the new design is a symmetric state machine, where both
     the control processor and the booting/dying cpu execute a well
     defined set of states.  Each state is symmetric in the end, except
     for some well defined exceptions, and the bringup/teardown can be
     stopped and reversed at almost all states.

     So the bringup of a cpu will look like this in the future:

       Control CPU                     Booting CPU

                                       bring itself up

     The synchronization step does not require the control cpu to wait.
     That mechanism can be done asynchronously via a worker or some
     other mechanism.

     The teardown can be made very similar, so that the dying cpu cleans
     up and brings itself down.  Cleanups which need to be done after
     the cpu is gone, can be scheduled asynchronously as well.

  There is a long way to this, as we need to refactor the notion when a
  cpu is available.  Today we set the cpu online right after it comes
  out of the low level bringup, which is not really correct.

  The proper mechanism is to set it to available, i.e. cpu local
  threads, like softirqd, hotplug thread etc. can be scheduled on that
  cpu, and once it finished all booting steps, it's set to online, so
  general workloads can be scheduled on it.  The reverse happens on
  teardown.  First thing to do is to forbid scheduling of general
  workloads, then teardown all the per cpu resources and finally shut it
  off completely.

  This patch series implements the basic infrastructure for this at the
  core level.  This includes the following:

   - Basic state machine implementation with well defined states, so
     ordering and prioritization can be expressed.

   - Interfaces to [un]register state callbacks

     This invokes the bringup/teardown callback on all online cpus with
     the proper protection in place and [un]installs the callbacks in
     the state machine array.

     For callbacks which have no particular ordering requirement we have
     a dynamic state space, so that drivers don't have to register an
     explicit hotplug state.

     If a callback fails, the code automatically does a rollback to the
     previous state.

   - Sysfs interface to drive the state machine to a particular step.

     This is only partially functional today.  Full functionality and
     therefor testability will be achieved once we converted all
     existing hotplug notifiers over to the new scheme.

   - Run all CPU_ONLINE/DOWN_PREPARE notifiers on the booting/dying
     processor:

       Control CPU                     Booting CPU

       do preparatory steps
       kick cpu into life

                                       do low level init

       sync with booting cpu           sync with control cpu
       wait for boot
                                       bring itself up

                                       Signal completion to control cpu

     In a previous step of this work we've done a full tree mechanical
     conversion of all hotplug notifiers to the new scheme.  The balance
     is a net removal of about 4000 lines of code.

     This is not included in this series, as we decided to take a
     different approach.  Instead of mechanically converting everything
     over, we will do a proper overhaul of the usage sites one by one so
     they nicely fit into the symmetric callback scheme.

     I decided to do that after I looked at the ugliness of some of the
     converted sites and figured out that their hotplug mechanism is
     completely buggered anyway.  So there is no point to do a
     mechanical conversion first as we need to go through the usage
     sites one by one again in order to achieve a full symmetric and
     testable behaviour"

Mel Gorman d0164adc89 mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd
__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts.  They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve".  __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".

Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available.  Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.

This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative.  High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH.  __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim.  __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim.  __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.

This patch then converts a number of sites

o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
  pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.

o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
  __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
  into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
  are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.

o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
  helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
  checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
  positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
  is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
  flag manipulations.

o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
  and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.

The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.

The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL.  They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.  It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

Linus Torvalds 5224b9613b smp: Fix error case handling in smp_call_function_*()
Commit 8053871d0f ("smp: Fix smp_call_function_single_async()
locking") fixed the locking for the asynchronous smp-call case, but in
the process of moving the lock handling around, one of the error cases
ended up not unlocking the call data at all.

This went unnoticed on x86, because this is a "caller is buggy" case,
where the caller is trying to call a non-existent CPU.  But apparently
ARM does that (at least under qemu-arm).  Bindly doing cross-cpu calls
to random CPU's that aren't even online seems a bit fishy, but the error
handling was clearly not correct.

Simply add the missing "csd_unlock()" to the error path.

Linus Torvalds 8053871d0f smp: Fix smp_call_function_single_async() locking
The current smp_function_call code suffers a number of problems, most
notably smp_call_function_single_async() is broken.

The problem is that flush_smp_call_function_queue() does csd_unlock()
_after_ calling csd->func(). This means that a caller cannot properly
synchronize the csd usage as it has to.

Change the code to release the csd before calling ->func() for the
async case, and put a WARN_ON_ONCE(csd->flags & CSD_FLAG_LOCK) in
smp_call_function_single_async() to warn us of improper serialization,
because any waiting there can results in deadlocks when called with
IRQs disabled.

Rename the (currently) unused WAIT flag to SYNCHRONOUS and (re)use it
such that we know what to do in flush_smp_call_function_queue().

Rework csd_{,un}lock() to use smp_load_acquire() / smp_store_release()
to avoid some full barriers while more clearly providing lock
semantics.

Finally move the csd maintenance out of generic_exec_single() into its
callers for clearer code.

Linus Torvalds 0429fbc0bd Merge branch 'for-3.18-consistent-ops' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu
Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo:
 "Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static
  and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately
  and had their own accessors.  The distinction has been gone for many
  years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained
  with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other
  operations over time.  During the process, we also accumulated other
  inconsistent operations.

  This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the
  duplicate accessor situation.  __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with
  with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr().

  Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit
  messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to
  a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of
  this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().

  This converts most of the uses but not all.  Christoph will follow up
  with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully
  remove the obsolete accessors"

Currently kick_all_cpus_sync() can break non-polling idle cpus
thru IPI interrupts.

But sometimes we need to break the polling idle cpus immediately
to reselect the suitable c-state, also for non-idle cpus, we need
to do nothing if we try to wake up them.

Here adding one new function wake_up_all_idle_cpus() to let all cpus
out of idle based on function wake_up_if_idle().

Srivatsa S. Bhat 8d056c48e4 CPU hotplug, smp: flush any pending IPI callbacks before CPU offline
There is a race between the CPU offline code (within stop-machine) and
the smp-call-function code, which can lead to getting IPIs on the
outgoing CPU, *after* it has gone offline.

Specifically, this can happen when using
smp_call_function_single_async() to send the IPI, since this API allows
sending asynchronous IPIs from IRQ disabled contexts.  The exact race
condition is described below.

During CPU offline, in stop-machine, we don't enforce any rule in the
_DISABLE_IRQ stage, regarding the order in which the outgoing CPU and
the other CPUs disable their local interrupts.  Due to this, we can
encounter a situation in which an IPI is sent by one of the other CPUs
to the outgoing CPU (while it is *still* online), but the outgoing CPU
ends up noticing it only *after* it has gone offline.

              CPU 1                                         CPU 2
          (Online CPU)                               (CPU going offline)

       Enter _PREPARE stage                          Enter _PREPARE stage

       IPI to CPU 2 using                          | disabled on this CPU.

       Enter _DISABLE_IRQ stage

       Enter _RUN stage                              Enter _RUN stage

                                  =

       disabled.                  |                  and take CPU 2 offline
                                  =

       Enter _EXIT stage                             Enter _EXIT stage

       Re-enable interrupts                          Re-enable interrupts

                                                     The pending IPI is noted
                                                     immediately, but alas,
                                                     the CPU is offline at
                                                     this point.

This of course, makes the smp-call-function IPI handler code running on
CPU 2 unhappy and it complains about "receiving an IPI on an offline
CPU".

One real example of the scenario on CPU 1 is the block layer's
complete-request call-path:

	__blk_complete_request() [interrupt-handler]
	    raise_blk_irq()
	        smp_call_function_single_async()

However, if we look closely, the block layer does check that the target
CPU is online before firing the IPI.  So in this case, it is actually
the unfortunate ordering/timing of events in the stop-machine phase that
leads to receiving IPIs after the target CPU has gone offline.

In reality, getting a late IPI on an offline CPU is not too bad by
itself (this can happen even due to hardware latencies in IPI
send-receive).  It is a bug only if the target CPU really went offline
without executing all the callbacks queued on its list.  (Note that a
CPU is free to execute its pending smp-call-function callbacks in a
batch, without waiting for the corresponding IPIs to arrive for each one
of those callbacks).

So, fixing this issue can be broken up into two parts:

1. Ensure that a CPU goes offline only after executing all the
   callbacks queued on it.

2. Modify the warning condition in the smp-call-function IPI handler
   code such that it warns only if an offline CPU got an IPI *and* that
   CPU had gone offline with callbacks still pending in its queue.

Achieving part 1 is straight-forward - just flush (execute) all the
queued callbacks on the outgoing CPU in the CPU_DYING stage[1],
including those callbacks for which the source CPU's IPIs might not have
been received on the outgoing CPU yet.  Once we do this, an IPI that
arrives late on the CPU going offline (either due to the race mentioned
above, or due to hardware latencies) will be completely harmless, since
the outgoing CPU would have executed all the queued callbacks before
going offline.

Overall, this fix (parts 1 and 2 put together) additionally guarantees
that we will see a warning only when the *IPI-sender code* is buggy -
that is, if it queues the callback _after_ the target CPU has gone
offline.

[1].  The CPU_DYING part needs a little more explanation: by the time we
execute the CPU_DYING notifier callbacks, the CPU would have already
been marked offline.  But we want to flush out the pending callbacks at
this stage, ignoring the fact that the CPU is offline.  So restructure
the IPI handler code so that we can by-pass the "is-cpu-offline?" check
in this particular case.  (Of course, the right solution here is to fix
CPU hotplug to mark the CPU offline _after_ invoking the CPU_DYING
notifiers, but this requires a lot of audit to ensure that this change
doesn't break any existing code; hence lets go with the solution
proposed above until that is done).

Frederic Weisbecker 4788501606 irq_work: Implement remote queueing
irq work currently only supports local callbacks. However its code
is mostly ready to run remote callbacks and we have some potential user.

The full nohz subsystem currently open codes its own remote irq work
on top of the scheduler ipi when it wants a CPU to reevaluate its next
tick. However this ad hoc solution bloats the scheduler IPI.

Lets just extend the irq work subsystem to support remote queuing on top
of the generic SMP IPI to handle this kind of user. This shouldn't add
noticeable overhead.

Srivatsa S. Bhat a219ccf463 smp: print more useful debug info upon receiving IPI on an offline CPU
There is a longstanding problem related to CPU hotplug which causes IPIs
to be delivered to offline CPUs, and the smp-call-function IPI handler
code prints out a warning whenever this is detected.  Every once in a
while this (usually harmless) warning gets reported on LKML, but so far
it has not been completely fixed.  Usually the solution involves finding
out the IPI sender and fixing it by adding appropriate synchronization
with CPU hotplug.

However, while going through one such internal bug reports, I found that
there is a significant bug in the receiver side itself (more
specifically, in stop-machine) that can lead to this problem even when
the sender code is perfectly fine.  This patchset fixes that
synchronization problem in the CPU hotplug stop-machine code.

Patch 1 adds some additional debug code to the smp-call-function
framework, to help debug such issues easily.

Patch 2 modifies the stop-machine code to ensure that any IPIs that were
sent while the target CPU was online, would be noticed and handled by
that CPU without fail before it goes offline.  Thus, this avoids
scenarios where IPIs are received on offline CPUs (as long as the sender
uses proper hotplug synchronization).

In fact, I debugged the problem by using Patch 1, and found that the
payload of the IPI was always the block layer's trigger_softirq()
function.  But I was not able to find anything wrong with the block
layer code.  That's when I started looking at the stop-machine code and
realized that there is a race-window which makes the IPI _receiver_ the
culprit, not the sender.  Patch 2 fixes that race and hence this should
put an end to most of the hard-to-debug IPI-to-offline-CPU issues.

This patch (of 2):

Today the smp-call-function code just prints a warning if we get an IPI
on an offline CPU.  This info is sufficient to let us know that
something went wrong, but often it is very hard to debug exactly who
sent the IPI and why, from this info alone.

In most cases, we get the warning about the IPI to an offline CPU,
immediately after the CPU going offline comes out of the stop-machine
phase and reenables interrupts.  Since all online CPUs participate in
stop-machine, the information regarding the sender of the IPI is already
lost by the time we exit the stop-machine loop.  So even if we dump the
stack on each CPU at this point, we won't find anything useful since all
of them will show the stack-trace of the stopper thread.  So we need a
better way to figure out who sent the IPI and why.

To achieve this, when we detect an IPI targeted to an offline CPU, loop
through the call-single-data linked list and print out the payload
(i.e., the name of the function which was supposed to be executed by the
target CPU).  This would give us an insight as to who might have sent
the IPI and help us debug this further.

Frederic Weisbecker c46fff2a3b smp: Rename __smp_call_function_single() to smp_call_function_single_async()
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.

Frederic Weisbecker fce8ad1568 smp: Remove wait argument from __smp_call_function_single()
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.

Linus Torvalds 0910c0bdf7 Merge branch 'for-3.13/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block IO core updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the pull request for the core changes in the block layer for
  3.13.  It contains:

   - The new blk-mq request interface.

     This is a new and more scalable queueing model that marries the
     best part of the request based interface we currently have (which
     is fully featured, but scales poorly) and the bio based "interface"
     which the new drivers for high IOPS devices end up using because
     it's much faster than the request based one.

     The bio interface has no block layer support, since it taps into
     the stack much earlier.  This means that drivers end up having to
     implement a lot of functionality on their own, like tagging,
     timeout handling, requeue, etc.  The blk-mq interface provides all
     these.  Some drivers even provide a switch to select bio or rq and
     has code to handle both, since things like merging only works in
     the rq model and hence is faster for some workloads.  This is a
     huge mess.  Conversion of these drivers nets us a substantial code
     reduction.  Initial results on converting SCSI to this model even
     shows an 8x improvement on single queue devices.  So while the
     model was intended to work on the newer multiqueue devices, it has
     substantial improvements for "classic" hardware as well.  This code
     has gone through extensive testing and development, it's now ready
     to go.  A pull request is coming to convert virtio-blk to this
     model will be will be coming as well, with more drivers scheduled
     for 3.14 conversion.

   - Two blktrace fixes from Jan and Chen Gang.

   - A plug merge fix from Alireza Haghdoost.

   - Conversion of __get_cpu_var() from Christoph Lameter.

   - Fix for sector_div() with 64-bit divider from Geert Uytterhoeven.

   - A fix for a race between request completion and the timeout
     handling from Jeff Moyer.  This is what caused the merge conflict
     with blk-mq/core, in case you are looking at that.

   - A dm stacking fix from Mike Snitzer.

   - A code consolidation fix and duplicated code removal from Kent
     Overstreet.

   - A handful of block bug fixes from Mikulas Patocka, fixing a loop
     crash and memory corruption on blk cg.

   - Elevator switch bug fix from Tomoki Sekiyama.

  A heads-up that I had to rebase this branch.  Initially the immutable
  bio_vecs had been queued up for inclusion, but a week later, it became
  clear that it wasn't fully cooked yet.  So the decision was made to
  pull this out and postpone it until 3.14.  It was a straight forward
  rebase, just pruning out the immutable series and the later fixes of
  problems with it.  The rest of the patches applied directly and no
  further changes were made"

blk-mq reuses the request potentially immediately, since the most

be reused between csd->func() being called and csd_unlock() being

the smp call function. Add CSD_FLAG_WAIT to be able to tell the
difference, retaining the warning for other cases.

Paul Gortmaker 0db0628d90 kernel: delete __cpuinit usage from all core kernel files
The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in
the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include)
that don't really have a specific maintainer.

Shaohua Li 9a46ad6d6d smp: make smp_call_function_many() use logic similar to 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
      + 3.31% get_swap_page
      + 2.37% free_pcppages_bulk
      + 1.75% handle_pte_fault
      + 1.54% put_super
      + 1.41% grab_super_passive
      + 1.36% __swap_duplicate

      + 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
      + 1.76% free_pcppages_bulk
      + 1.40% handle_pte_fault
      + 1.15% __swap_duplicate
      + 1.05% put_super
      + 0.98% grab_super_passive

+   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.

Wang YanQing f44310b98d smp: Fix SMP function call empty cpu mask race
I get the following warning every day with v3.7, once or
twice a day:

As explained by Linus as well:

 |
 | Once we've done the "list_add_rcu()" to add it to the
 | queue, we can have (another) IPI to the target CPU that can
 | now see it and clear the mask.
 |
 | So by the time we get to actually send the IPI, the mask might
 | have been cleared by another IPI.
 |

This patch also fixes a system hang problem, if the data->cpumask
gets cleared after passing this point:

        if (WARN_ONCE(!mask, "empty IPI mask"))
                return;

then the problem in commit 83d349f35e ("x86: don't send an IPI to
the empty set of CPU's") will happen again.

Gilad Ben-Yossef b3a7e98e02 smp: add func to IPI cpus based on parameter func
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.

Gilad Ben-Yossef 3fc498f165 smp: introduce a generic on_each_cpu_mask() function
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.

Takao Indoh d8ad7d1123 generic-ipi: Fix kexec boot crash by initializing call_single_queue before 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().

Milton Miller 723aae25d5 smp_call_function_many: handle concurrent clearing of mask
Mike Galbraith reported finding a lockup ("perma-spin bug") where the
cpumask passed to smp_call_function_many was cleared by other cpu(s)
while a cpu was preparing its call_data block, resulting in no cpu to
clear the last ref and unlock the block.

Having cpus clear their bit asynchronously could be useful on a mask of
cpus that might have a translation context, or cpus that need a push to
complete an rcu window.

Instead of adding a BUG_ON and requiring yet another cpumask copy, just
detect the race and handle it.

Note: arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask must still handle an empty
cpumask because the data block is globally visible before the that arch
callback is made.  And (obviously) there are no guarantees to which cpus
are notified if the mask is changed during the call; only cpus that were
online and had their mask bit set during the whole call are guaranteed
to be called.

Paul McKenney's review pointed out two problems with the barriers in the
2.6.38 update to the smp call function many code.

First, a barrier that would force the func and info members of data to
be visible before their consumption in the interrupt handler was
missing.  This can be solved by adding a smp_wmb between setting the
func and info members and setting setting the cpumask; this will pair
with the existing and required smp_rmb ordering the cpumask read before
the read of refs.  This placement avoids the need a second smp_rmb in
the interrupt handler which would be executed on each of the N cpus
executing the call request.  (I was thinking this barrier was present
but was not).

Second, the previous write to refs (establishing the zero that we the
interrupt handler was testing from all cpus) was performed by a third
party cpu.  This would invoke transitivity which, as a recient or
concurrent addition to memory-barriers.txt now explicitly states, would
require a full smp_mb().

However, we know the cpumask will only be set by one cpu (the data
owner) and any preivous iteration of the mask would have cleared by the
reading cpu.  By redundantly writing refs to 0 on the owning cpu before
the smp_wmb, the write to refs will follow the same path as the writes
that set the cpumask, which in turn allows us to keep the barrier in the
interrupt handler a smp_rmb instead of promoting it to a smp_mb (which
will be be executed by N cpus for each of the possible M elements on the
list).

I moved and expanded the comment about our (ab)use of the rcu list
primitives for the concurrent walk earlier into this function.  I
considered moving the first two paragraphs to the queue list head and
lock, but felt it would have been too disconected from the code.

Milton Miller e6cd1e07a1 call_function_many: fix list delete vs add race
Peter pointed out there was nothing preventing the list_del_rcu in
smp_call_function_interrupt from running before the list_add_rcu in
smp_call_function_many.

Fix this by not setting refs until we have gotten the lock for the list.
Take advantage of the wmb in list_add_rcu to save an explicit additional
one.

I tried to force this race with a udelay before the lock & list_add and
by mixing all 64 online cpus with just 3 random cpus in the mask, but
was unsuccessful.  Still, inspection shows a valid race, and the fix is
a extension of the existing protection window in the current code.

Milton Miller 225c8e010f kernel/smp.c: consolidate writes in smp_call_function_interrupt()
We have to test the cpu mask in the interrupt handler before checking the
refs, otherwise we can start to follow an entry before its deleted and
find it partially initailzed for the next trip.  Presently we also clear
the cpumask bit before executing the called function, which implies
getting write access to the line.  After the function is called we then
decrement refs, and if they go to zero we then unlock the structure.

However, this implies getting write access to the call function data
before and after another the function is called.  If we can assert that no
smp_call_function execution function is allowed to enable interrupts, then
we can move both writes to after the function is called, hopfully allowing
both writes with one cache line bounce.

On a 256 thread system with a kernel compiled for 1024 threads, the time
to execute testcase in the "smp_call_function_many race" changelog was
reduced by about 30-40ms out of about 545 ms.

I decided to keep this as WARN because its now a buggy function, even
though the stack trace is of no value -- a simple printk would give us the
information needed.

Anton Blanchard 6dc1989995 kernel/smp.c: fix smp_call_function_many() SMP race
I noticed a failure where we hit the following WARN_ON in
generic_smp_call_function_interrupt:

                if (!cpumask_test_and_clear_cpu(cpu, data->cpumask))
                        continue;

                data->csd.func(data->csd.info);

                refs = atomic_dec_return(&data->refs);
                WARN_ON(refs < 0);      <-------------------------

We atomically tested and cleared our bit in the cpumask, and yet the
number of cpus left (ie refs) was 0.  How can this be?

It turns out commit 54fdade1c3
("generic-ipi: make struct call_function_data lockless") is at fault.  It
removes locking from smp_call_function_many and in doing so creates a
rather complicated race.

The problem comes about because:

 - The smp_call_function_many interrupt handler walks call_function.queue
   without any locking.
 - We reuse a percpu data structure in smp_call_function_many.
 - We do not wait for any RCU grace period before starting the next
   smp_call_function_many.

Imagine a scenario where CPU A does two smp_call_functions back to back,
and CPU B does an smp_call_function in between.  We concentrate on how CPU
C handles the calls:

CPU A            CPU B                  CPU C              CPU D

smp_call_function
                                        smp_call_function_interrupt
                                            walks
					call_function.queue sees
					data from CPU A on list

                 smp_call_function

                                        smp_call_function_interrupt
                                            walks

                                        call_function.queue sees
                                          (stale) CPU A on list
							   smp_call_function int
							   clears last ref on A
							   list_del_rcu, unlock
smp_call_function reuses
percpu *data A
                                         data->cpumask sees and
                                         clears bit in cpumask
                                         might be using old or new fn!
                                         decrements refs below 0

set data->refs (too late!)

The important thing to note is since the interrupt handler walks a
potentially stale call_function.queue without any locking, then another
cpu can view the percpu *data structure at any time, even when the owner
is in the process of initialising it.

The following test case hits the WARN_ON 100% of the time on my PowerPC
box (having 128 threads does help :)

#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/init.h>

#define ITERATIONS 100

static void do_nothing_ipi(void *dummy)
{
}

static void do_ipis(struct work_struct *dummy)
{
	int i;

	for (i = 0; i < ITERATIONS; i++)
		smp_call_function(do_nothing_ipi, NULL, 1);

	printk(KERN_DEBUG "cpu %d finished\n", smp_processor_id());
}

{
	int cpu;

	for_each_online_cpu(cpu) {
		INIT_WORK(&work[cpu], do_ipis);
		schedule_work_on(cpu, &work[cpu]);
	}

	return 0;
}

static void __exit testcase_exit(void)
{
}

module_init(testcase_init)
module_exit(testcase_exit)
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
MODULE_AUTHOR("Anton Blanchard");

I tried to fix it by ordering the read and the write of ->cpumask and
->refs.  In doing so I missed a critical case but Paul McKenney was able
to spot my bug thankfully :) To ensure we arent viewing previous
iterations the interrupt handler needs to read ->refs then ->cpumask then
->refs _again_.

Thanks to Milton Miller and Paul McKenney for helping to debug this issue.

[miltonm@bga.com: add WARN_ON and BUG_ON, remove extra read of refs before initial read of mask that doesn't help (also noted by Peter Zijlstra), adjust comments, hopefully clarify scenario ]

Tejun Heo bd924e8cbd smp: Allow on_each_cpu() to be called while early_boot_irqs_disabled status to init/main.c
percpu may end up calling vfree() during early boot which in
turn may call on_each_cpu() for TLB flushes.  The function of
on_each_cpu() can be done safely while IRQ is disabled during
early boot but it assumed that the function is always called
with local IRQ enabled which ended up enabling local IRQ
prematurely during boot and triggering a couple of warnings.

This patch updates on_each_cpu() and smp_call_function_many()
such on_each_cpu() can be used safely while
early_boot_irqs_disabled is set.

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.

Heiko Carstens 27c379f7f8 generic-ipi: Fix deadlock in __smp_call_function_single
Just got my 6 way machine to a state where cpu 0 is in an
endless loop within __smp_call_function_single.
All other cpus are idle.

The call trace on cpu 0 looks like this:

 __smp_call_function_single
 scheduler_tick
 update_process_times
 tick_sched_timer
 __run_hrtimer
 hrtimer_interrupt
 clock_comparator_work
 do_extint
 ext_int_handler
 ----> timer irq
 cpu_idle

__smp_call_function_single() got called from nohz_balancer_kick()
(inlined) with the remote cpu being 1, wait being 0 and the per
cpu variable remote_sched_softirq_cb (call_single_data) of the
current cpu (0).

Then it loops forever when it tries to grab the lock of the
call_single_data, since it is already locked and enqueued on cpu 0.

My theory how this could have happened: for some reason the
scheduler decided to call __smp_call_function_single() on it's own
cpu, and sends an IPI to itself. The interrupt stays pending
since IRQs are disabled. If then the hypervisor schedules the
cpu away it might happen that upon rescheduling both the IPI and
the timer IRQ are pending. If then interrupts are enabled again
it depends which one gets scheduled first.
If the timer interrupt gets delivered first we end up with the
local deadlock as seen in the calltrace above.

Let's make __smp_call_function_single() check if the target cpu is
the current cpu and execute the function immediately just like
smp_call_function_single does. That should prevent at least the
scenario described here.

It might also be that the scheduler is not supposed to call
__smp_call_function_single with the remote cpu being the current
cpu, but that is a different issue.

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Xiao Guangrong c0f68c2fab generic-ipi: cleanup for generic_smp_call_function_interrupt()
Use smp_processor_id() instead of get_cpu() and put_cpu() in
generic_smp_call_function_interrupt(), It's no need to disable preempt,
because we must call generic_smp_call_function_interrupt() with interrupts
disabled.

Xiao Guangrong 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.

Peter Zijlstra 8969a5ede0 generic-ipi: remove kmalloc()
Remove the use of kmalloc() from the smp_call_function_*()
calls.

Steven's generic-ipi patch (d7240b98: generic-ipi: use per cpu
data for single cpu ipi calls) started the discussion on the use
of kmalloc() in this code and fixed the
smp_call_function_single(.wait=0) fallback case.

In this patch we complete this by also providing means for the
_many() call, which fully removes the need for kmalloc() in this
code.

The problem with the _many() call is that other cpus might still
be observing our entry when we're done with it. It solved this
by dynamically allocating data elements and RCU-freeing it.

We solve it by using a single per-cpu entry which provides
static storage and solves one half of the problem (avoiding
referencing freed data).

The other half, ensuring the queue iteration it still possible,
is done by placing re-used entries at the head of the list. This
means that if someone was still iterating that entry when it got
moved, he will now re-visit the entries on the list he had
already seen, but avoids skipping over entries like would have
happened had we placed the new entry at the end.

Furthermore, visiting entries twice is not a problem, since we
remove our cpu from the entry's cpumask once its called.

Many thanks to Oleg for his suggestions and him poking holes in
my earlier attempts.

Nick Piggin 15d0d3b337 generic IPI: simplify barriers and locking
Simplify the barriers in generic remote function call interrupt
code.

Firstly, just unconditionally take the lock and check the list
in the generic_call_function_single_interrupt IPI handler. As
we've just taken an IPI here, the chances are fairly high that
there will be work on the list for us, so do the locking
unconditionally. This removes the tricky lockless list_empty
check and dubious barriers. The change looks bigger than it is
because it is just removing an outer loop.

Secondly, clarify architecture specific IPI locking rules.
Generic code has no tools to impose any sane ordering on IPIs if
they go outside normal cache coherency, ergo the arch code must
make them appear to obey cache coherency as a "memory operation"
to initiate an IPI, and a "memory operation" to receive one.
This way at least they can be reasoned about in generic code,
and smp_mb used to provide ordering.

The combination of these two changes means that explict barriers
can be taken out of queue handling for the single case -- shared
data is explicitly locked, and ipi ordering must conform to
that, so no barriers needed. An extra barrier is needed in the
many handler, so as to ensure we load the list element after the
IPI is received.

Does any architecture actually *need* these barriers? For the
initiator I could see it, but for the handler I would be
surprised. So the other thing we could do for simplicity is just
to require that, rather than just matching with cache coherency,
we just require a full barrier before generating an IPI, and
after receiving an IPI. In which case, the smp_mb()s can go
away. But just for now, we'll be on the safe side and use the
barriers (they're in the slow case anyway).

Steven Rostedt d7240b9880 generic-ipi: use per cpu data for single cpu ipi calls
The smp_call_function can be passed a wait parameter telling it to
wait for all the functions running on other CPUs to complete before
returning, or to return without waiting. Unfortunately, this is
currently just a suggestion and not manditory. That is, the
smp_call_function can decide not to return and wait instead.

The reason for this is because it uses kmalloc to allocate storage
to send to the called CPU and that CPU will free it when it is done.
But if we fail to allocate the storage, the stack is used instead.
This means we must wait for the called CPU to finish before
continuing.

Unfortunatly, some callers do no abide by this hint and act as if
the non-wait option is mandatory. The MTRR code for instance will
deadlock if the smp_call_function is set to wait. This is because
the smp_call_function will wait for the other CPUs to finish their
called functions, but those functions are waiting on the caller to
continue.

This patch changes the generic smp_call_function code to use per cpu
variables if the allocation of the data fails for a single CPU call. The
smp_call_function_many will fall back to the smp_call_function_single
if it fails its alloc. The smp_call_function_single is modified
to not force the wait state.

Since we now are using a single data per cpu we must synchronize the
callers to prevent a second caller modifying the data before the
first called IPI functions complete. To do so, I added a flag to
the call_single_data called CSD_FLAG_LOCK. When the single CPU is
called (which can be called when a many call fails an alloc), we
set the LOCK bit on this per cpu data. When the caller finishes
it clears the LOCK bit.

The caller must wait till the LOCK bit is cleared before setting
it. When it is cleared, there is no IPI function using it.

Impact: cleanup

In future, all cpumask ops will only be valid (in general) for bit
numbers < nr_cpu_ids.  So use that instead of NR_CPUS in iterators
and other comparisons.

This is always safe: no cpu number can be >= nr_cpu_ids, and
nr_cpu_ids is initialized to NR_CPUS at boot.

Rusty Russell 54b11e6d57 cpumask: smp_call_function_many()
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).

Suresh Siddha 561920a0d2 generic-ipi: fix the smp_mb() placement
smp_mb() is needed (to make the memory operations visible globally) before
sending the ipi on the sender and the receiver (on Alpha atleast) needs
smp_read_barrier_depends() in the handler before reading the call_single_queue
list in a lock-free fashion.

On x86, x2apic mode register accesses for sending IPI's don't have serializing
semantics. So the need for smp_mb() before sending the IPI becomes more
critical in x2apic mode.

Remove the unnecessary smp_mb() in csd_flag_wait(), as the presence of that
smp_mb() doesn't mean anything on the sender, when the ipi receiver is not
doing any thing special (like memory fence) after clearing the CSD_FLAG_WAIT.
