202da40057 kernel/smp.c: quit unconditionally enabling irqs in on_each_cpu_mask().
As in commit f21afc25f9 ("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.

I don't know of any bugs currently caused by this unconditional
local_irq_enable(), but I want to use this function in MIPS/OCTEON early
boot (when we have early_boot_irqs_disabled).  This also makes this
function have similar semantics to on_each_cpu() which is good in
itself.

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.

1def1dc917 kernel/smp.c: use '|=' for csd_lock
csd_lock() uses assignment to data->flags rather than |=.  That is not
buggy at present because only one bit (CSD_FLAG_LOCK) is defined in
call_single_data.flags.

But it will become buggy if we later add another flag, so fix it now.

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
      + 0.68% 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
      + 1.76% free_pcppages_bulk
      + 1.40% handle_pte_fault
      + 1.15% __swap_duplicate
      + 1.05% put_super
      + 0.98% grab_super_passive
      + 0.86% blk_flush_plug_list
      + 0.57% swap_info_get
+   8.25%  [k] default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys
+   7.55%  [k] call_function_interrupt
+   7.47%  [k] smp_call_function_many
+   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.

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:

  [ 2235.186027] WARNING: at /mnt/sda7/kernel/linux/arch/x86/kernel/apic/ipi.c:109 default_send_IPI_mask_logical+0x2f/0xb8()

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.

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.

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.

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

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().

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.

45a5791920 call_function_many: add missing ordering
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.

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.

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.

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

	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());
}

static struct work_struct work[NR_CPUS];

static int __init testcase_init(void)
{
	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.

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.

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

For arch which doesn't use USE_GENERIC_SMP_HELPERS, e.g.  blackfin, only

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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).

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.

OK indeed it did have a couple of bugs. Firstly, I wasn't freeing the
data properly in the alloc && wait case. Secondly, I wasn't resetting
CSD_FLAG_WAIT in the for each cpu loop (so only the first CPU would
wait).

After those fixes, the patch boots and runs with the kmalloc commented
out (so it always executes the slowpath).

Nice debugging work.

I'd suggest something like the attached (boot tested) patch as the simple
fix for now.

I expect the benefits from the less synchronized, multiple-in-flight-data
global queue will still outweigh the costs of dynamic allocations. But
if worst comes to worst then we just go back to a globally synchronous
one-at-a-time implementation, but that would be pretty sad!

63cf13b77a generic ipi function calls: wait on alloc failure fallback
When a GFP_ATOMIC allocation fails, it falls back to allocating the
data on the stack and converting it to a waiting call.

Make sure we actually wait in this case.

3d44223327 Add generic helpers for arch IPI function calls
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
and getting rid of the data allocation fallback deadlock.
