To minimize latency, PREEMPT_RT kernels expires hrtimers in preemptible
softirq context by default. This can be overriden by marking the timer's
expiry with HRTIMER_MODE_HARD.
sched_clock_timer is missing this annotation: if its callback is preempted
and the duration of the preemption exceeds the wrap around time of the
underlying clocksource, sched clock will get out of sync.
Mark the sched_clock_timer for expiry in hard interrupt context.

The tick_periodic() function is used at the beginning part of the
bootup process for time keeping while the other clock sources are
being initialized.
The current code assumes that all the timer interrupts are handled in
a timely manner with no missing ticks. That is not actually true. Some
ticks are missed and there are some discrepancies between the tick time
(jiffies) and the timestamp reported in the kernel log. Some systems,
however, are more prone to missing ticks than the others. In the extreme
case, the discrepancy can actually cause a soft lockup message to be
printed by the watchdog kthread. For example, on a Cavium ThunderX2
Sabre arm64 system:
[ 25.496379] watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#14 stuck for 22s!
On that system, the missing ticks are especially prevalent during the
smp_init() phase of the boot process. With an instrumented kernel,
it was found that it took about 24s as reported by the timestamp for
the tick to accumulate 4s of time.
Investigation and bisection done by others seemed to point to the
commit 73f381660959 ("arm64: Advertise mitigation of Spectre-v2, or
lack thereof") as the culprit. It could also be a firmware issue as
new firmware was promised that would fix the issue.
To properly address this problem, stop assuming that there will be no
missing tick in tick_periodic(). Modify it to follow the example of
tick_do_update_jiffies64() by using another reference clock to check for
missing ticks. Since the watchdog timer uses running_clock(), it is used
here as the reference. With this applied, the soft lockup problem in the
affected arm64 system is gone and tick time tracks much more closely to the
timestamp time.

do_div() does a 64-by-32 division at least on 32bit platforms, while the
divisor 'div' is explicitly casted to unsigned long, thus 64-bit on 64-bit
platforms.
The code already ensures that the divisor is less than 2^32. Hence the
proper cast type is u32.

While unlikely the divisor in scale64_check_overflow() could be >= 32bit in
scale64_check_overflow(). do_div() truncates the divisor to 32bit at least
on 32bit platforms.
Use div64_u64() instead to avoid the truncation to 32-bit.

The reasons why the extra posix_cpu_timers_exit_group() invocation has been
added are not entirely clear from the commit message. Today all that
posix_cpu_timers_exit_group() does is stop timers that are tracking the
task from firing. Every other operation on those timers is still allowed.
The practical implication of this is posix_cpu_timer_del() which could
not get the siglock after the thread group leader has exited (because
sighand == NULL) would be able to run successfully because the timer
was already dequeued.
With that locking issue fixed there is no point in disabling all of the
timers. So remove this ``tempoary'' hack.

posix cpu timers do not handle the death of a process well.
This is most clearly seen when a multi-threaded process calls exec from a
thread that is not the leader of the thread group. The posix cpu timer code
continues to pin the old thread group leader and is unable to find the
siglock from there.
This results in posix_cpu_timer_del being unable to delete a timer,
posix_cpu_timer_set being unable to set a timer. Further to compensate for
the problems in posix_cpu_timer_del on a multi-threaded exec all timers
that point at the multi-threaded task are stopped.
The code for the timers fundamentally needs to check if the target
process/thread is alive. This needs an extra level of indirection. This
level of indirection is already available in struct pid.
So replace cpu.task with cpu.pid to get the needed extra layer of
indirection.
In addition to handling things more cleanly this reduces the amount of
memory a timer can pin when a process exits and then is reaped from
a task_struct to the vastly smaller struct pid.

When working commit 6dcd5d7a7a29c1e, a mistake was noticed by Linus:
schedule_timeout() was called without setting the task state to anything
particular.
It calls the scheduler, but doesn't delay anything, because the task stays
runnable. That happens because sched_submit_work() does nothing for tasks
in TASK_RUNNING state.
That turned out to be the intended behavior. Adding a WARN() is not useful
as the task could be woken up right after setting the state and before
reaching schedule_timeout().
Improve the comment about schedule_timeout() and describe that more
explicitly.

It is theoretically possible for the ACPI EC GPE to be set after the
s2idle_ops->wake() called from s2idle_loop() has returned and before
the subsequent pm_wakeup_pending() check is carried out. If that
happens, the resulting wakeup event will cause the system to resume
even though it may be a spurious one.
To avoid that race, first make the ->wake() callback in struct
platform_s2idle_ops return a bool value indicating whether or not
to let the system resume and rearrange s2idle_loop() to use that
value instad of the direct pm_wakeup_pending() call if ->wake() is
present.
Next, rework acpi_s2idle_wake() to process EC events and check
pm_wakeup_pending() before re-arming the SCI for system wakeup
to prevent it from triggering prematurely and add comments to
that function to explain the rationale for the new code flow.

to fix XFS performance regression
The following XFS commit:
8ab39f11d974 ("xfs: prevent CIL push holdoff in log recovery")
changed the logic from using bound workqueues to using unbound
workqueues. Functionally this makes sense but it was observed at the
time that the dbench performance dropped quite a lot and CPU migrations
were increased.
The current pattern of the task migration is straight-forward. With XFS,
an IO issuer delegates work to xlog_cil_push_work ()on an unbound kworker.
This runs on a nearby CPU and on completion, dbench wakes up on its old CPU
as it is still idle and no migration occurs. dbench then queues the real
IO on the blk_mq_requeue_work() work item which runs on a bound kworker
which is forced to run on the same CPU as dbench. When IO completes,
the bound kworker wakes dbench but as the kworker is a bound but,
real task, the CPU is not considered idle and dbench gets migrated by
select_idle_sibling() to a new CPU. dbench may ping-pong between two CPUs
for a while but ultimately it starts a round-robin of all CPUs sharing
the same LLC. High-frequency migration on each IO completion has poor
performance overall. It has negative implications both in commication
costs and power management. mpstat confirmed that at low thread counts
that all CPUs sharing an LLC has low level of activity.
Note that even if the CIL patch was reverted, there still would
be migrations but the impact is less noticeable. It turns out that
individually the scheduler, XFS, blk-mq and workqueues all made sensible
decisions but in combination, the overall effect was sub-optimal.
This patch special cases the IO issue/completion pattern and allows
a bound kworker waker and a task wakee to stack on the same CPU if
there is a strong chance they are directly related. The expectation
is that the kworker is likely going back to sleep shortly. This is not
guaranteed as the IO could be queued asynchronously but there is a very
strong relationship between the task and kworker in this case that would
justify stacking on the same CPU instead of migrating. There should be
few concerns about kworker starvation given that the special casing is
only when the kworker is the waker.

Dbench has been modified to report the time to complete a single "load
file". This is a more meaningful metric for dbench that a throughput
metric as the benchmark makes many different system calls that are not
throughput-related
Patch shows a 9.23% and 48.53% reduction in the time to process a load
file with the difference partially explained by the number of CPUs sharing

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of fixes for X86:
- Ensure that the PIT is set up when the local APIC is disable or
configured in legacy mode. This is caused by an ordering issue
introduced in the recent changes which skip PIT initialization when
the TSC and APIC frequencies are already known.
- Handle malformed SRAT tables during early ACPI parsing which caused
an infinite loop anda boot hang.
- Fix a long standing race in the affinity setting code which affects
PCI devices with non-maskable MSI interrupts. The problem is caused
by the non-atomic writes of the MSI address (destination APIC id)
and data (vector) fields which the device uses to construct the MSI
message. The non-atomic writes are mandated by PCI.
If both fields change and the device raises an interrupt after
writing address and before writing data, then the MSI block
constructs a inconsistent message which causes interrupts to be
lost and subsequent malfunction of the device.
The fix is to redirect the interrupt to the new vector on the
current CPU first and then switch it over to the new target CPU.
This allows to observe an eventually raised interrupt in the
transitional stage (old CPU, new vector) to be observed in the APIC
IRR and retriggered on the new target CPU and the new vector.
The potential spurious interrupts caused by this are harmless and
can in the worst case expose a buggy driver (all handlers have to
be able to deal with spurious interrupts as they can and do happen
for various reasons).
- Add the missing suspend/resume mechanism for the HYPERV hypercall
page which prevents resume hibernation on HYPERV guests. This
change got lost before the merge window.
- Mask the IOAPIC before disabling the local APIC to prevent
potentially stale IOAPIC remote IRR bits which cause stale
interrupt lines after resume"

"Saner fs_parser.c guts and data structures. The system-wide registry
of syntax types (string/enum/int32/oct32/.../etc.) is gone and so is
the horror switch() in fs_parse() that would have to grow another case

New syntax types can be added by filesystems easily now, and their
namespace is that of functions - not of system-wide enum members. IOW,
they can be shared or kept private and if some turn out to be widely
useful, we can make them common library helpers, etc., without having
to do anything whatsoever to fs_parse() itself.
And we already get that kind of requests - the thing that finally
pushed me into doing that was "oh, and let's add one for timeouts -
things like 15s or 2h". If some filesystem really wants that, let them
do it. Without somebody having to play gatekeeper for the variants

There's some confusion around if an irq that's disabled with disable_irq()
can still wake the system from sleep states such as "suspend to RAM".
Clarify this in the kernel documentation for irq_set_irq_wake() so that
it's clear that an irq can be disabled and still wake the system if it has
been marked for wakeup.

In CONFIG_SMP=y kernels, smp_call_function_single() returns -ENXIO when
invoked for a non-existent CPU. In contrast, in CONFIG_SMP=n kernels,
a splat is emitted and smp_call_function_single() otherwise silently
ignores its "cpu" argument, instead pretending that the caller intended
to have something happen on CPU 0. Given that there is now code that
expects smp_call_function_single() to return an error if a bad CPU was
specified, this difference in semantics needs to be addressed.
Bring the semantics of the CONFIG_SMP=n version of
smp_call_function_single() into alignment with its CONFIG_SMP=y
counterpart.

As function_graph tracer can run when RCU is not "watching", it can not be
protected by synchronize_rcu() it requires running a task on each CPU before
it can be freed. Calling schedule_on_each_cpu(ftrace_sync) needs to be used.

Because the function graph tracer can execute in sections where RCU is not
"watching", the rcu_dereference_sched() for the has needs to be open coded.
This is fine because the RCU "flavor" of the ftrace hash is protected by
its own RCU handling (it does its own little synchronization on every CPU
and does not rely on RCU sched).
