683be13a28 timer: Minimize nohz off overhead
If nohz is disabled on the kernel command line the [hr]timer code
still calls wake_up_nohz_cpu() and tick_nohz_full_cpu(), a pretty
pointless exercise. Cache nohz_active in [hr]timer per cpu bases and
avoid the overhead.

We probably should have a cached value for nohz full in the per cpu
bases as well to avoid the cpumask check. The base cache line is hot
already, the cpumask not necessarily.

bc7a34b8b9 timer: Reduce timer migration overhead if disabled
Eric reported that the timer_migration sysctl is not really nice
performance wise as it needs to check at every timer insertion whether
the feature is enabled or not. Further the check does not live in the
timer code, so we have an extra function call which checks an extra
cache line to figure out that it is disabled.

We can do better and store that information in the per cpu (hr)timer
bases. I pondered to use a static key, but that's a nightmare to
update from the nohz code and the timer base cache line is hot anyway
when we select a timer base.

The old logic enabled the timer migration unconditionally if
CONFIG_NO_HZ was set even if nohz was disabled on the kernel command
line.

With this modification, we start off with migration disabled. The user
visible sysctl is still set to enabled. If the kernel switches to NOHZ
migration is enabled, if the user did not disable it via the sysctl
prior to the switch. If nohz=off is on the kernel command line,
migration stays disabled no matter what.

c74441a17e timer: Stats: Simplify the flags handling
Simplify the handling of the flag storage for the timer statistics. No
intermediate storage anymore. Just hand over the flags field.

I left the printout of 'deferrable' for now because changing this
would be an ABI update and I have no idea how strong people feel about
that. OTOH, I wonder whether we should kill the whole timer stats
stuff because all of that information can be retrieved via ftrace/perf
as well.

0eeda71bc3 timer: Replace timer base by a cpu index
Instead of storing a pointer to the per cpu tvec_base we can simply
cache a CPU index in the timer_list and use that to get hold of the
correct per cpu tvec_base. This is only used in lock_timer_base() and
the slightly larger code is peanuts versus the spinlock operation and
the d-cache foot print of the timer wheel.

Aside of that this allows to get rid of following nuisances:

 - boot_tvec_base

   That statically allocated 4k bss data is just kept around so the
   timer has a home when it gets statically initialized. It serves no
   other purpose.

   With the CPU index we assign the timer to CPU0 at static
   initialization time and therefor can avoid the whole boot_tvec_base
   dance.  That also simplifies the init code, which just can use the
   per cpu base.

   Before:
     text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
    17491	   9201	   4160	  30852	   7884	../build/kernel/time/timer.o
   After:
     text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
    17440	   9193	      0	  26633	   6809	../build/kernel/time/timer.o

 - Overloading the base pointer with various flags

   The CPU index has enough space to hold the flags (deferrable,
   irqsafe) so we can get rid of the extra masking and bit fiddling
   with the base pointer.

As a benefit we reduce the size of struct timer_list on 64 bit
machines. 4 - 8 bytes, a size reduction up to 15% per struct timer_list,
which is a real win as we have tons of them embedded in other structs.

This changes also the newly added deferrable printout of the timer
start trace point to capture and print all timer->flags, which allows
us to decode the target cpu of the timer as well.

We might have used bitfields for this, but that would change the
static initializers and the init function for no value to accomodate
big endian bitfields.

1bd04bf6f6 timer: Remove FIFO "guarantee"
The FIFO guarantee is only there if two timers are queued into the
same bucket at the same jiffie on the same cpu:

 - The slack value depends on the delta between expiry and enqueue
   time, so the resulting expiry time can be different for timers
   which are queued in different jiffies.

 - Timers which are queued into the secondary array end up after a
   later queued timer which was queued into the primary array due to
   cascading.

 - Timers can end up on different cpus due to the NOHZ target moving
   around. Obviously there is no guarantee of expiry ordering between
   cpus.

So anything which relies on FIFO behaviour of the timer wheel is
broken already.

This is a preparatory patch for converting the timer wheel to hlist
which reduces the memory foot print of the wheel by 50%.

It's a seperate patch so any (unlikely to happen) regression caused by
this can be identified clearly.

3bb475a344 timers: Sanitize catchup_timer_jiffies() usage
catchup_timer_jiffies() has been applied blindly to several functions
without looking for possible better ways to do it.

1) internal_add_timer()

   Move the update to base->all_timers before we actually insert the
   timer into the wheel.

2) detach_if_pending()

   Again the update to base->all_timers allows us to explicitely do
   the timer_jiffies update in place, if this was the last timer which
   got removed.

3) __run_timers()

   We only check on entry, which is silly, because base->timer_jiffies
   can be behind - especially on NOHZ kernels - and if there is a
   single deferrable timer somewhere between base->timer_jiffies and
   jiffies we expire it and then loop until base->timer_jiffies ==
   jiffies.

   Move it into the loop.

c1ad348b45 tick: Nohz: Rework next timer evaluation
The evaluation of the next timer in the nohz code is based on jiffies
while all the tick internals are nano seconds based. We have also to
convert hrtimer nanoseconds to jiffies in the !highres case. That's
just wrong and introduces interesting corner cases.

Turn it around and convert the next timer wheel timer expiry and the
rcu event to clock monotonic and base all calculations on
nanoseconds. That identifies the case where no timer is pending
clearly with an absolute expiry value of KTIME_MAX.

Makes the code more readable and gets rid of the jiffies magic in the
nohz code.

c6eb3f70d4 hrtimer: Get rid of hrtimer softirq
hrtimer softirq is a leftover from the initial implementation and
serves only the purpose to handle the enqueueing of already expired
timers in the high resolution timer mode. We discussed whether we
change the return value and force all start sites to handle that the
timer is already expired, but that would be a Herculean task and I'm
not sure whether its a good idea to enforce that handling on
everyone.

A simpler solution is to enforce a timer interrupt instead of raising
and scheduling a softirq. Just use the existing infrastructure to do
so and remove all the softirq leftovers.

The HRTIMER softirq enum is now unused, but kept around because trace
parsers rely on the existing numbering.

b337a9380f timer: Allocate per-cpu tvec_base's statically
Memory for the 'tvec_base' array is allocated separately for the boot CPU (statically)
and non-boot CPUs (dynamically).

The reason is because __TIMER_INITIALIZER() needs to set ->base to a
valid pointer (because we've made NULL special, hint: lock_timer_base())
and we cannot get a compile time pointer to per-cpu entries because we
don't know where we'll map the section, even for the boot cpu.

This can be simplified a bit by statically allocating per-cpu memory.
The only disadvantage is that memory for one of the structures will stay
unused, i.e. for the boot CPU, which uses boot_tvec_bases.

This will also guarantee that tvec_base is cacheline aligned. Even
though tvec_base has ____cacheline_aligned stuck on, kzalloc_node() does
not actually respect that (but guarantees a minimum u64 alignment).

  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"

76a33061b9 irq_work: Force raised irq work to run on irq work interrupt
The nohz full kick, which restarts the tick when any resource depend
on it, can't be executed anywhere given the operation it does on timers.
If it is called from the scheduler or timers code, chances are that
we run into a deadlock.

This is why we run the nohz full kick from an irq work. That way we make
sure that the kick runs on a virgin context.

However if that's the case when irq work runs in its own dedicated
self-ipi, things are different for the big bunch of archs that don't
support the self triggered way. In order to support them, irq works are
also handled by the timer interrupt as fallback.

Now when irq works run on the timer interrupt, the context isn't blank.
More precisely, they can run in the context of the hrtimer that runs the
tick. But the nohz kick cancels and restarts this hrtimer and cancelling
an hrtimer from itself isn't allowed. This is why we run in an endless
loop:

To fix this we force non-lazy irq works to run on irq work self-IPIs
when available. That ability of the arch to trigger irq work self IPIs
is available with arch_irq_work_has_interrupt().

22127e93c5 time: Replace __get_cpu_var uses
Convert uses of __get_cpu_var for creating a address from a percpu
offset to this_cpu_ptr.

The two cases where get_cpu_var is used to actually access a percpu
variable are changed to use this_cpu_read/raw_cpu_read.

9f6d9baaa8 timer: Kick dynticks targets on mod_timer*() calls
When a timer is enqueued or modified on a dynticks target, that CPU
must re-evaluate the next tick to service that timer.

The tick re-evaluation is performed by an IPI kick on the target.
Now while we correctly call wake_up_nohz_cpu() from add_timer_on(), the
mod_timer*() API family doesn't support so well dynticks targets.

The reason for this is likely that __mod_timer() isn't supposed to
select an idle target for a timer, unless that target is the current
CPU, in which case a dynticks idle kick isn't actually needed.

But there is a small race window lurking behind that assumption: the
elected target has all the time to turn dynticks idle between the call
to get_nohz_timer_target() and the locking of its base. Hence a risk
that we enqueue a timer on a dynticks idle destination without kicking
it. As a result, the timer might be serviced too late in the future.

Also a target elected by __mod_timer() can be in full dynticks mode
and thus require to be kicked as well. And unlike idle dynticks, this
concern both local and remote targets.

To fix this whole issue, lets centralize the dynticks kick to
internal_add_timer() so that it is well handled for all sort of timer
enqueue. Even timer migration is concerned so that a full dynticks target
is correctly kicked as needed when timers are migrating to it.

d6f9382981 timer: Store cpu-number in struct tvec_base
Timers are serviced by the tick. But when a timer is enqueued on a
dynticks target, we need to kick it in order to make it reconsider the
next tick to schedule to correctly handle the timer's expiring time.

Now while this kick is correctly performed for add_timer_on(), the
mod_timer*() family has been a bit neglected.

To prepare for fixing this, we need internal_add_timer() to be able to
resolve the CPU target associated to a timer's object 'base' so that the
kick can be centralized there.

This can't be passed as an argument as not all the callers know the CPU
number of a timer's base. So lets store it in the struct tvec_base to
resolve the CPU without much overhead. It is set once for good at every
CPU's first boot.
