nohz: Re-evaluate the tick for the new task after a context switch
When a task is scheduled in, it may have some properties
of its own that could make the CPU reconsider the need for
the tick: posix cpu timers, perf events, ...
So notify the full dynticks subsystem when a task gets
scheduled in and re-check the tick dependency at this
stage. This is done through a self IPI to avoid messing
up with any current lock scenario.

Interrupt exit is a natural place to stop the tick: it happens
after all events happening before and during the irq which
are liable to update the dependency on the tick occured. Also
it makes sure that any check on tick dependency is well ordered
against dynticks kick IPIs.
Bring in the infrastructure that performs the tick dependency
checks on irq exit and shut it down if these checks show that we
can do it safely.

Implement the full dynticks kick that is performed from
IPIs sent by various subsystems (scheduler, posix timers, ...)
when they want to notify about a new event that may
reconsider the dependency on the tick.
Most of the time, such an event end up restarting the tick.
(Part of the design with subsystems providing *_can_stop_tick()
helpers suggested by Peter Zijlstra a while ago).

The scheduler IPI is used by the scheduler to kick
full dynticks CPUs asynchronously when more than one
task are running or when a new timer list timer is
enqueued. This way the destination CPU can decide
to restart the tick to handle this new situation.
Now let's call that kick in the scheduler IPI.
(Reusing the scheduler IPI rather than implementing
a new IPI was suggested by Peter Zijlstra a while ago)

The timekeeping job must be able to run early on boot
because there may be some pre-SMP (and thus pre-initcalls )
components that rely on it. The IO-APIC is one such users
as it tests the timer health by watching jiffies progression.
Given that it happens before we know the initial online
set, we can't rely on it to select a timekeeper. We need
one before SMP time otherwise we simply crash on boot.
To fix this and keep things simple for now, force the boot CPU
outside of the full dynticks range in any case and do this early
on kernel parameter parsing time.
We might want a trickier solution later, expecially for aSMP
architectures that need to assign housekeeping tasks to arbitrary
low power CPUs.
But it's still first pass KISS time for now.

rcu: Kick adaptive-ticks CPUs that are holding up RCU grace periods
Adaptive-ticks CPUs inform RCU when they enter kernel mode, but they do
not necessarily turn the scheduler-clock tick back on. This state of
affairs could result in RCU waiting on an adaptive-ticks CPU running
for an extended period in kernel mode. Such a CPU will never run the
RCU state machine, and could therefore indefinitely extend the RCU state
machine, sooner or later resulting in an OOM condition.
This patch, inspired by an earlier patch by Frederic Weisbecker, therefore
causes RCU's force-quiescent-state processing to check for this condition
and to send an IPI to CPUs that remain in that state for too long.
"Too long" currently means about three jiffies by default, which is
quite some time for a CPU to remain in the kernel without blocking.
The rcu_tree.jiffies_till_first_fqs and rcutree.jiffies_till_next_fqs
sysfs variables may be used to tune "too long" if needed.

nohz: Switch from "extended nohz" to "full nohz" based naming
"Extended nohz" was used as a naming base for the full dynticks
API and Kconfig symbols. It reflects the fact the system tries
to stop the tick in more places than just idle.
But that "extended" name is a bit opaque and vague. Rename it to
"full" makes it clearer what the system tries to do under this
config: try to shutdown the tick anytime it can. The various
constraints that prevent that to happen shouldn't be considered
as fundamental properties of this feature but rather technical
issues that may be solved in the future.

nohz: Fix old dynticks idle Kconfig backward compatibility
In order to enforce backward compatibility with older
config files, we want the new dynticks-idle Kconfig entry
to default its value to the one of the old CONFIG_NO_HZ symbol
if present.
Namely we want:
config NO_HZ # old obsolete dynticks idle symbol
bool
config NO_HZ_IDLE # new dynticks idle symbol
default NO_HZ
However Kconfig prevents this to work if the old symbol
is not visible. And this is currently the case because
NO_HZ lacks a title in order to show it in make oldconfig
and alike.
To fix this, bring a minimal title and help text to the
obsolete Kconfig entry that explains its purpose. This
makes the "defaulting" to work.

We are planning to convert the dynticks Kconfig options layout
into a choice menu. The user must be able to easily pick
any of the following implementations: constant periodic tick,
idle dynticks, full dynticks.
As this implies a mutual exclusion, the two dynticks implementions
need to converge on the selection of a common Kconfig option in order
to ease the sharing of a common infrastructure.
It would thus seem pretty natural to reuse CONFIG_NO_HZ to
that end. It already implements all the idle dynticks code
and the full dynticks depends on all that code for now.
So ideally the choice menu would propose CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and
CONFIG_NO_HZ_EXTENDED then both would select CONFIG_NO_HZ.
On the other hand we want to stay backward compatible: if
CONFIG_NO_HZ is set in an older config file, we want to
enable CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE by default.
But we can't afford both at the same time or we run into
a circular dependency:
1) CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and CONFIG_NO_HZ_EXTENDED both select
CONFIG_NO_HZ
2) If CONFIG_NO_HZ is set, we default to CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE
We might be able to support that from Kconfig/Kbuild but it
may not be wise to introduce such a confusing behaviour.
So to solve this, create a new CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON option
which gathers the common code between idle and full dynticks
(that common code for now is simply the idle dynticks code)
and select it from their referring Kconfig.
Then we'll later create CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and map CONFIG_NO_HZ
to it for backward compatibility.

nohz: Unhide full dynticks feature from its dependencies
The full dynticks feature only shows up when all its
Kconfig dependencies are met (RCU nocbs, RCU user mode, ...)
This is far from being user friendly as those who want to
activate this feature need to look into the Kconfig files
and iterate through each dependency then activate these
by hand in order to show and select the full dynticks
Kconfig option.
So process the other way around: show up the Kconfig option
if the minimal low level dependencies are met and activate
the high level ones when we enable the feature.
Note there is one exception in the picture:
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN is part of a Kconfig choice
menu and it appears we can't select it from another Kconfig
selection when it's under such layout. So for now this
particular item stays as a passive dependency.

nohz: Assign timekeeping duty to a CPU outside the full dynticks range
This way the full nohz CPUs can safely run with the tick
stopped with a guarantee that somebody else is taking
care of the jiffies and GTOD progression.
Once the duty is attributed to a CPU, it won't change. Also that
CPU can't enter into dyntick idle mode or be hot unplugged.
This may later be improved from a power consumption POV. At
least we should be able to share the duty amongst all CPUs
outside the full dynticks range. Then the duty could even be
shared with full dynticks CPUs when those can't stop their
tick for any reason.
But let's start with that very simple approach first.

[fix have_nohz_full_mask offcase] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
For extreme usecases such as Real Time or HPC, having
the ability to shutdown the tick when a single task runs
on a CPU is a desired feature:
* Reducing the amount of interrupts improves throughput
for CPU-bound tasks. The CPU is less distracted from its
real job, from an execution time and from the cache point
of views.
* This also improve latency response as we have less critical
sections.
Start with introducing a very simple interface to define
full dynticks CPU: use a boot time option defined cpumask
through the "nohz_extended=" kernel parameter. CPUs that
are part of this range will have their tick shutdown
whenever possible: provided they run a single task and
they don't do kernel activity that require the periodic
tick. These details will be later documented in
Documentation/*
An online CPU must be kept outside this range to handle the
timekeeping.

Pull CPU runtime stats/accounting fixes from Frederic Weisbecker:
" Some users are complaining that their threadgroup's runtime accounting
freezes after a week or so of intense cpu-bound workload. This set tries
to fix the issue by reducing the risk of multiplication overflow in the
cputime scaling code. "
Stanislaw Gruszka further explained the historic context and impact of the
bug:
" Commit 0cf55e1ec08bb5a22e068309e2d8ba1180ab4239 start to use scalling
for whole thread group, so increase chances of hitting multiplication
overflow, depending on how many CPUs are on the system.
For HZ 100 it will be 497 days for HZ 1000 it will be 49 days.
Bug affect only users, who run CPU intensive application for that
long period. Also they have to be interested on utime,stime values,
as bug has no other visible effect as making those values incorrect. "
Some users have reported that after running a process with
hundreds of threads on intensive CPU-bound loads, the cputime
of the group started to freeze after a few days.
This is due to how we scale the tick-based cputime against
the scheduler precise execution time value.
We add the values of all threads in the group and we multiply
that against the sum of the scheduler exec runtime of the whole
group.
This easily overflows after a few days/weeks of execution.
A proposed solution to solve this was to compute that multiplication
on stime instead of utime: 62188451f0d63add7ad0cd2a1ae269d600c1663d
("cputime: Avoid multiplication overflow on utime scaling")
The rationale behind that was that it's easy for a thread to
spend most of its time in userspace under intensive CPU-bound workload
but it's much harder to do CPU-bound intensive long run in the kernel.
This postulate got defeated when a user recently reported he was still
seeing cputime freezes after the above patch. The workload that
triggers this issue relates to intensive networking workloads where
most of the cputime is consumed in the kernel.
To reduce much more the opportunities for multiplication overflow,
lets reduce the multiplication factors to the remainders of the division
between sched exec runtime and cputime. Assuming the difference between
these shouldn't ever be that large, it could work on many situations.
This gets the same results as in the upstream scaling code except for
a small difference: the upstream code always rounds the results to
the nearest integer not greater to what would be the precise result.
The new code rounds to the nearest integer either greater or not
greater. In practice this difference probably shouldn't matter but
it's worth mentioning.
If this solution appears not to be enough in the end, we'll
need to partly revert back to the behaviour prior to commit 0cf55e1ec08bb5a22e068309e2d8ba1180ab4239
("sched, cputime: Introduce thread_group_times()")
Back then, the scaling was done on exit() time before adding the cputime
of an exiting thread to the signal struct. And then we'll need to
scale one-by-one the live threads cputime in thread_group_cputime(). The
drawback may be a slightly slower code on exit time.

cputime: Dynamically scale cputime for full dynticks accounting
The full dynticks cputime accounting is able to account either
using the tick or the context tracking subsystem. This way
the housekeeping CPU can keep the low overhead tick based
solution.
This latter mode has a low jiffies resolution granularity and
need to be scaled against CFS precise runtime accounting to
improve its result. We are doing this for CONFIG_TICK_CPU_ACCOUNTING,
now we also need to expand it to full dynticks accounting dynamic
off-case as well.

context_tracking: Restore preempted context state after preempt_schedule_irq()
From the context tracking POV, preempt_schedule_irq() behaves pretty much
like an exception: It can be called anytime and schedule another task.
But currently it doesn't restore the context tracking state of the preempted
code on preempt_schedule_irq() return.
As a result, if preempt_schedule_irq() is called in the tiny frame between
user_enter() and the actual return to userspace, we resume userspace with
the wrong context tracking state.
Fix this by using exception_enter/exit() which are a perfect fit for this
kind of issue.

context_tracking: Restore correct previous context state on exception exit
On exception exit, we restore the previous context tracking state based on
the regs of the interrupted frame. Iff that frame is in user mode as
stated by user_mode() helper, we restore the context tracking user mode.
However there is a tiny chunck of low level arch code after we pass through
user_enter() and until the CPU eventually resumes userspace.
If an exception happens in this tiny area, exception_enter() correctly
exits the context tracking user mode but exception_exit() won't restore
it because of the value returned by user_mode(regs).
As a result we may return to userspace with the wrong context tracking
state.
To fix this, change exception_enter() to return the context tracking state
prior to its call and pass this saved state to exception_exit(). This restores
the real context tracking state of the interrupted frame.
(May be this patch was suggested to me, I don't recall exactly. If so,
sorry for the missing credit).

"The biggest feature in the pull is the new (and still experimental)
raid56 code that David Woodhouse started long ago. I'm still working
on the parity logging setup that will avoid inconsistent parity after
a crash, so this is only for testing right now. But, I'd really like
to get it out to a broader audience to hammer out any performance
issues or other problems.
scrub does not yet correct errors on raid5/6 either.
Josef has another pass at fsync performance. The big change here is
to combine waiting for metadata with waiting for data, which is a big
latency win. It is also step one toward using atomics from the
hardware during a commit.
Mark Fasheh has a new way to use btrfs send/receive to send only the
metadata changes. SUSE is using this to make snapper more efficient
at finding changes between snapshosts.
Snapshot-aware defrag is also included.
Otherwise we have a large number of fixes and cleanups. Eric Sandeen
wins the award for removing the most lines, and I'm hoping we steal
this idea from XFS over and over again."

ext4: don't allow quota mount options when quota feature enabled
So far we silently ignored when quota mount options were set while quota
feature was enabled. But this can create confusion in userspace when
mount options are set but silently ignored and also creates opportunities
for bugs when we don't properly test all quota types. Actually
ext4_mark_dquot_dirty() forgets to test for quota feature so it was
dependent on journaled quota options being set. OTOH ext4_orphan_cleanup()
tries to enable journaled quota when quota options are specified which is
wrong when quota feature is enabled.

Make a copy of the device tree blob in non-init memory. It is required
when using built-in device tree files that the platform code copies the

otherwise the strings that the device tree refer to will get poisoned

However <linux/preempt.h> cannot be easily included from
<asm/irqflags.h> as it can cause circular include dependencies in the
!SMP case, and potentially in the SMP case in the future. Therefore move
the SMP implementation of arch_local_irq_enable() into traps.c and use
an inline version of get_trigger_mask() which is also defined in traps.c
for SMP.
This adds an extra layer of function call / stack push when
preempt_disable needs to call other functions, however in the
non-preemptive SMP case it should be about as fast, as it was already
calling the get_trigger_mask() function which is now used inline.
