A timer might be used as a pinned timer (using add_timer_on()) and later on
as non-pinned timer using add_timer(). When the "NOHZ timer pull at expiry
model" is in place, the TIMER_PINNED flag is required to be used whenever a
timer needs to expire on a dedicated CPU. Otherwise the flag must not be
set if expiration on a dedicated CPU is not required.
add_timer_on()'s behavior will be changed during the preparation patches
for the "NOHZ timer pull at expiry model" to unconditionally set the
TIMER_PINNED flag. To be able to clear/ set the flag when queueing a
timer, two variants of add_timer() are introduced.
This is a preparatory step and has no functional change.

When tick is stopped also the timer base is_idle flag is set. When
reentering timer_base_try_to_set_idle() with the tick stopped, there is no
need to check whether the timer base needs to be set idle again. When a
timer was enqueued in the meantime, this is already handled by the
tick_nohz_next_event() call which was executed before
tick_nohz_stop_tick().

The timer base is marked idle when get_next_timer_interrupt() is
executed. But the decision whether the tick will be stopped and whether the
system is able to go idle is done later. When the timer bases is marked
idle and a new first timer is enqueued remote an IPI is raised. Even if it
is not required because the tick is not stopped and the timer base is
evaluated again at the next tick.
To prevent this, the timer base is marked idle in tick_nohz_stop_tick() and
get_next_timer_interrupt() is streamlined by only looking for the next timer
interrupt. All other work is postponed to timer_base_try_to_set_idle() which is
called by tick_nohz_stop_tick(). timer_base_try_to_set_idle() never resets
timer_base::is_idle state. This is done when the tick is restarted via
tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick().
With this, tick_sched::tick_stopped and timer_base::is_idle are always in
sync. So there is no longer the need to execute timer_clear_idle() in
tick_nohz_idle_retain_tick(). This was required before, as
tick_nohz_next_event() set timer_base::is_idle even if the tick would not be
stopped. So timer_clear_idle() is only executed, when timer base is idle. So the
check whether timer base is idle, is now no longer required as well.
While at it fix some nearby whitespace damage as well.

On a 8-socket server the TSC is wrongly marked as 'unstable' and disabled
during boot time on about one out of 120 boot attempts:
clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU227: wd-tsc-wd excessive read-back delay of 153560ns vs. limit of 125000ns,
wd-wd read-back delay only 11440ns, attempt 3, marking tsc unstable
tsc: Marking TSC unstable due to clocksource watchdog
TSC found unstable after boot, most likely due to broken BIOS. Use 'tsc=unstable'.
sched_clock: Marking unstable (119294969739, 159204297)<-(125446229205, -5992055152)
clocksource: Checking clocksource tsc synchronization from CPU 319 to CPUs 0,99,136,180,210,542,601,896.
clocksource: Switched to clocksource hpet
The reason is that for platform with a large number of CPUs, there are
sporadic big or huge read latencies while reading the watchog/clocksource
during boot or when system is under stress work load, and the frequency and
maximum value of the latency goes up with the number of online CPUs.
The cCurrent code already has logic to detect and filter such high latency
case by reading the watchdog twice and checking the two deltas. Due to the
randomness of the latency, there is a low probabilty that the first delta
(latency) is big, but the second delta is small and looks valid. The
watchdog code retries the readouts by default twice, which is not
necessarily sufficient for systems with a large number of CPUs.
There is a command line parameter 'max_cswd_read_retries' which allows to
increase the number of retries, but that's not user friendly as it needs to
be tweaked per system. As the number of required retries is proportional to
the number of online CPUs, this parameter can be calculated at runtime.
Scale and enlarge the number of retries according to the number of online
CPUs and remove the command line parameter completely.

So far, get_device_system_crosststamp() unconditionally passes
system_counterval.cycles to timekeeping_cycles_to_ns(). But when
interpolating system time (do_interp == true), system_counterval.cycles is
before tkr_mono.cycle_last, contrary to the timekeeping_cycles_to_ns()
expectations.
On x86, CONFIG_CLOCKSOURCE_VALIDATE_LAST_CYCLE will mitigate on
interpolating, setting delta to 0. With delta == 0, xtstamp->sys_monoraw
and xtstamp->sys_realtime are then set to the last update time, as
implicitly expected by adjust_historical_crosststamp(). On other
architectures, the resulting nonsense xtstamp->sys_monoraw and
xtstamp->sys_realtime corrupt the xtstamp (ts) adjustment in
adjust_historical_crosststamp().
Fix this by deriving xtstamp->sys_monoraw and xtstamp->sys_realtime from
the last update time when interpolating, by using the local variable
"cycles". The local variable already has the right value when
interpolating, unlike system_counterval.cycles.

The cycle_between() helper checks if parameter test is in the open interval
(before, after). Colloquially speaking, this also applies to the counter
wrap-around special case before > after. get_device_system_crosststamp()
currently uses cycle_between() at the first call site to decide whether to
interpolate for older counter readings.
get_device_system_crosststamp() has the following problem with
cycle_between() testing against an open interval: Assume that, by chance,
cycles == tk->tkr_mono.cycle_last (in the following, "cycle_last" for
brevity). Then, cycle_between() at the first call site, with effective
argument values cycle_between(cycle_last, cycles, now), returns false,
enabling interpolation. During interpolation,
get_device_system_crosststamp() will then call cycle_between() at the
second call site (if a history_begin was supplied). The effective argument
values are cycle_between(history_begin->cycles, cycles, cycles), since
system_counterval.cycles == interval_start == cycles, per the assumption.
Due to the test against the open interval, cycle_between() returns false
again. This causes get_device_system_crosststamp() to return -EINVAL.
This failure should be avoided, since get_device_system_crosststamp() works
both when cycles follows cycle_last (no interpolation), and when cycles
precedes cycle_last (interpolation). For the case cycles == cycle_last,
interpolation is actually unneeded.
Fix this by changing cycle_between() into timestamp_in_interval(), which
now checks against the closed interval, rather than the open interval.
This changes the get_device_system_crosststamp() behavior for three corner
cases:
1. Bypass interpolation in the case cycles == tk->tkr_mono.cycle_last,
fixing the problem described above.
2. At the first timestamp_in_interval() call site, cycles == now no longer
causes failure.
3. At the second timestamp_in_interval() call site, history_begin->cycles
== system_counterval.cycles no longer causes failure.
adjust_historical_crosststamp() also works for this corner case,
where partial_history_cycles == total_history_cycles.
These behavioral changes should not cause any problems.

- Fix broken direct trampolines being called when another callback is
attached the same function. ARM 64 does not support FTRACE_WITH_REGS, and
when it added direct trampoline calls from ftrace, it removed the
"WITH_REGS" flag from the ftrace_ops for direct trampolines. This broke
x86 as x86 requires direct trampolines to have WITH_REGS. This wasn't
noticed because direct trampolines work as long as the function it is
attached to is not shared with other callbacks (like the function tracer).
When there's other callbacks, a helper trampoline is called, to call all
the non direct callbacks and when it returns, the direct trampoline is
called. For x86, the direct trampoline sets a flag in the regs field to
tell the x86 specific code to call the direct trampoline. But this only
works if the ftrace_ops had WITH_REGS set. ARM does things differently
that does not require this. For now, set WITH_REGS if the arch supports
WITH_REGS (which ARM does not), and this makes it work for both ARM64 and
x86.
- Fix wasted memory in the saved_cmdlines logic.
The saved_cmdlines is a cache that maps PIDs to COMMs that tracing can
use. Most trace events only save the PID in the event. The saved_cmdlines
file lists PIDs to COMMs so that the tracing tools can show an actual name
and not just a PID for each event. There's an array of PIDs that map to a
small set of saved COMM strings. The array is set to PID_MAX_DEFAULT which
is usually set to 32768. When a PID comes in, it will add itself to this
array along with the index into the COMM array (note if the system allows
more than PID_MAX_DEFAULT, this cache is similar to cache lines as an
update of a PID that has the same PID_MAX_DEFAULT bits set will flush out
another task with the same matching bits set).
A while ago, the size of this cache was changed to be dynamic and the
array was moved into a structure and created with kmalloc(). But this
new structure had the size of 131104 bytes, or 0x20020 in hex. As kmalloc
allocates in powers of two, it was actually allocating 0x40000 bytes
(262144) leaving 131040 bytes of wasted memory. The last element of this
structure was a pointer to the COMM string array which defaulted to just
saving 128 COMMs.
By changing the last field of this structure to a variable length string,
and just having it round up to fill the allocated memory, the default
size of the saved COMM cache is now 8190. This not only uses the wasted
space, but actually saves space by removing the extra allocation for the
COMM names.

tracing: Fix wasted memory in saved_cmdlines logic
ftrace: Fix DIRECT_CALLS to use SAVE_REGS by default
While looking at improving the saved_cmdlines cache I found a huge amount
of wasted memory that should be used for the cmdlines.
The tracing data saves pids during the trace. At sched switch, if a trace
occurred, it will save the comm of the task that did the trace. This is
saved in a "cache" that maps pids to comms and exposed to user space via
the /sys/kernel/tracing/saved_cmdlines file. Currently it only caches by
default 128 comms.
The structure that uses this creates an array to store the pids using
PID_MAX_DEFAULT (which is usually set to 32768). This causes the structure
to be of the size of 131104 bytes on 64 bit machines.
In hex: 131104 = 0x20020, and since the kernel allocates generic memory in
powers of two, the kernel would allocate 0x40000 or 262144 bytes to store
this structure. That leaves 131040 bytes of wasted space.
Worse, the structure points to an allocated array to store the comm names,
which is 16 bytes times the amount of names to save (currently 128), which
is 2048 bytes. Instead of allocating a separate array, make the structure
end with a variable length string and use the extra space for that.
This is similar to a recommendation that Linus had made about eventfs_inode names:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240130190355.11486-5-torvalds@linux-foundation.org/
Instead of allocating a separate string array to hold the saved comms,
have the structure end with: char saved_cmdlines[]; and round up to the
next power of two over sizeof(struct saved_cmdline_buffers) + num_cmdlines * TASK_COMM_LEN
It will use this extra space for the saved_cmdline portion.
Now, instead of saving only 128 comms by default, by using this wasted
space at the end of the structure it can save over 8000 comms and even
saves space by removing the need for allocating the other array.

The commit 60c8971899 ("ftrace: Make DIRECT_CALLS work WITH_ARGS
and !WITH_REGS") changed DIRECT_CALLS to use SAVE_ARGS when there
are multiple ftrace_ops at the same function, but since the x86 only
support to jump to direct_call from ftrace_regs_caller, when we set
the function tracer on the same target function on x86, ftrace-direct
does not work as below (this actually works on arm64.)
At first, insmod ftrace-direct.ko to put a direct_call on
'wake_up_process()'.
# insmod kernel/samples/ftrace/ftrace-direct.ko
# less trace
...
<idle>-0 [006] ..s1. 564.686958: my_direct_func: waking up rcu_preempt-17

<idle>-0 [007] ..s1. 565.191982: my_direct_func: waking up kcompactd0-63
Setup a function filter to the 'wake_up_process' too, and enable it.
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
# echo wake_up_process > set_ftrace_filter
# echo function > current_tracer
# less trace
...

<idle>-0 [002] d.h6. 686.691386: wake_up_process <-kick_pool
Then, only function tracer is shown on x86.
But if you enable 'kprobe on ftrace' event (which uses SAVE_REGS flag)
on the same function, it is shown again.
# echo 'p wake_up_process' >> dynamic_events
# echo 1 > events/kprobes/p_wake_up_process_0/enable
# echo > trace
# less trace
...
<idle>-0 [006] ..s2. 2710.345919: p_wake_up_process_0: (wake_up_process+0x4/0x20)

<idle>-0 [006] ..s1. 2710.349937: my_direct_func: waking up rcu_preempt-17
To fix this issue, use SAVE_REGS flag for multiple ftrace_ops flag of
direct_call by default.

lock_task_sighand() can trigger a hard lockup. If NR_CPUS threads call
getrusage() at the same time and the process has NR_THREADS, spin_lock_irq
will spin with irqs disabled O(NR_CPUS * NR_THREADS) time.
Change getrusage() to use sig->stats_lock, it was specifically designed
for this type of use. This way it runs lockless in the likely case.
TODO:
- Change do_task_stat() to use sig->stats_lock too, then we can
remove spin_lock_irq(siglock) in wait_task_zombie().
- Turn sig->stats_lock into seqcount_rwlock_t, this way the
readers in the slow mode won't exclude each other. See
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230913154907.GA26210@redhat.com/
- stats_lock has to disable irqs because ->siglock can be taken
in irq context, it would be very nice to change __exit_signal()
to avoid the siglock->stats_lock dependency.

Patch series "getrusage: use sig->stats_lock", v2.
This patch (of 2):
thread_group_cputime() does its own locking, we can safely shift
thread_group_cputime_adjusted() which does another for_each_thread loop
outside of ->siglock protected section.
This is also preparation for the next patch which changes getrusage() to
use stats_lock instead of siglock, thread_group_cputime() takes the same
lock. With the current implementation recursive read_seqbegin_or_lock()
is fine, thread_group_cputime() can't enter the slow mode if the caller
holds stats_lock, yet this looks more safe and better performance-wise.

The hrtimers migration on CPU-down hotplug process has been moved
earlier, before the CPU actually goes to die. This leaves a small window
of opportunity to queue an hrtimer in a blind spot, leaving it ignored.
For example a practical case has been reported with RCU waking up a
SCHED_FIFO task right before the CPUHP_AP_IDLE_DEAD stage, queuing that
way a sched/rt timer to the local offline CPU.
Make sure such situations never go unnoticed and warn when that happens.

This reverts commit ca10d851b9.
The commit allowed workqueue_apply_unbound_cpumask() to clear __WQ_ORDERED
on now removed implicitly ordered workqueues. This was incorrect in that
system-wide config change shouldn't break ordering properties of all
workqueues. The reason why apply_workqueue_attrs() path was allowed to do so
was because it was targeting the specific workqueue - either the workqueue
had WQ_SYSFS set or the workqueue user specifically tried to change
max_active, both of which indicate that the workqueue doesn't need to be
ordered.
The implicitly ordered workqueue promotion was removed by the previous
commit 3bc1e711c2 ("workqueue: Don't implicitly make UNBOUND workqueues w/
@max_active==1 ordered"). However, it didn't update this path and broke
build. Let's revert the commit which was incorrect in the first place which

this ends up setting few error bits (EPOLLERR | EPOLLHUP | EPOLLNVAL), so
user-space at least is aware something went wrong.
Nonetheless, this is an incorrect code. Replace that -EINVAL with a
proper EPOLLERR to clean that output. As this doesn't change the
behaviour, there's no need to treat this change as a bug fix.

- Fix register_snapshot_trigger() on allocation error
If the snapshot fails to allocate, the register_snapshot_trigger() can
still return success. If the call to tracing_alloc_snapshot_instance()
returned anything but 0, it returned 0, but it should have been returning
the error code from that allocation function.
- Remove leftover code from tracefs doing a dentry walk on remount.
The update_gid() function was called by the tracefs code on remount
to update the gid of eventfs, but that is no longer the case, but that
code wasn't deleted. Nothing calls it. Remove it.

uprobes passes an unaligned page mapping address to
folio_add_new_anon_rmap(), which ends up triggering a VM_BUG_ON() we
recently extended in commit 372cbd4d5a ("mm: non-pmd-mappable, large
folios for folio_add_new_anon_rmap()").
Arguably, this is uprobes code doing something wrong; however, for the
time being it would have likely worked in rmap code because
__folio_set_anon() would set folio->index to the same value.
Looking at __replace_page(), we'd also pass slightly wrong values to
mmu_notifier_range_init(), page_vma_mapped_walk(), flush_cache_page(),
ptep_clear_flush() and set_pte_at_notify(). I suspect most of them are
fine, but let's just mark the introducing commit as the one needed fixing.
I don't think CC stable is warranted.
We'll add more sanity checks in rmap code separately, to make sure that we
always get properly aligned addresses.

This commit fixes RCU grace period stalls, which are observed when
an outgoing CPU's quiescent state reporting results in wakeup of
one of the grace period kthreads, to complete the grace period. If
those kthreads have SCHED_FIFO policy, the wake up can indirectly
arm the RT bandwith timer to the local offline CPU. Earlier migration
of the hrtimers from the CPU introduced in commit 5c0930ccaa
("hrtimers: Push pending hrtimers away from outgoing CPU earlier")
results in this timer getting ignored. If the RCU grace period
kthreads are waiting for RT bandwidth to be available, they may
never be actually scheduled, resulting in RCU stall warnings.

There have been reports of the watchdog marking clocksources unstable on
machines with 8 NUMA nodes:
clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU373:
Marking clocksource 'tsc' as unstable because the skew is too large:
clocksource: 'hpet' wd_nsec: 14523447520
clocksource: 'tsc' cs_nsec: 14524115132
The measured clocksource skew - the absolute difference between cs_nsec
and wd_nsec - was 668 microseconds:
cs_nsec - wd_nsec = 14524115132 - 14523447520 = 667612
The kernel used 200 microseconds for the uncertainty_margin of both the
clocksource and watchdog, resulting in a threshold of 400 microseconds (the
md variable). Both the cs_nsec and the wd_nsec value indicate that the
readout interval was circa 14.5 seconds. The observed behaviour is that
watchdog checks failed for large readout intervals on 8 NUMA node
machines. This indicates that the size of the skew was directly proportinal
to the length of the readout interval on those machines. The measured
clocksource skew, 668 microseconds, was evaluated against a threshold (the
md variable) that is suited for readout intervals of roughly
WATCHDOG_INTERVAL, i.e. HZ >> 1, which is 0.5 second.
The intention of 2e27e793e2 ("clocksource: Reduce clocksource-skew
threshold") was to tighten the threshold for evaluating skew and set the
lower bound for the uncertainty_margin of clocksources to twice
WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW. Later in c37e85c135 ("clocksource: Loosen clocksource
watchdog constraints"), the WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW constant was increased to
125 microseconds to fit the limit of NTP, which is able to use a
clocksource that suffers from up to 500 microseconds of skew per second.
Both the TSC and the HPET use default uncertainty_margin. When the
readout interval gets stretched the default uncertainty_margin is no
longer a suitable lower bound for evaluating skew - it imposes a limit
that is far stricter than the skew with which NTP can deal.
The root causes of the skew being directly proportinal to the length of
the readout interval are:
* the inaccuracy of the shift/mult pairs of clocksources and the watchdog
* the conversion to nanoseconds is imprecise for large readout intervals
Prevent this by skipping the current watchdog check if the readout
interval exceeds 2 * WATCHDOG_INTERVAL. Considering the maximum readout
interval of 2 * WATCHDOG_INTERVAL, the current default uncertainty margin
(of the TSC and HPET) corresponds to a limit on clocksource skew of 250
ppm (microseconds of skew per second). To keep the limit imposed by NTP
(500 microseconds of skew per second) for all possible readout intervals,
the margins would have to be scaled so that the threshold value is
proportional to the length of the actual readout interval.
As for why the readout interval may get stretched: Since the watchdog is
executed in softirq context the expiration of the watchdog timer can get
severely delayed on account of a ksoftirqd thread not getting to run in a
timely manner. Surely, a system with such belated softirq execution is not
working well and the scheduling issue should be looked into but the
clocksource watchdog should be able to deal with it accordingly.
