Thomas Gleixner 480abac78e tick/sched: Remove bogus boot "safety" check
[ Upstream commit ba8ea8e7dd ]

can_stop_idle_tick() checks whether the do_timer() duty has been taken over
by a CPU on boot. That's silly because the boot CPU always takes over with
the initial clockevent device.

But even if no CPU would have installed a clockevent and taken over the
duty then the question whether the tick on the current CPU can be stopped
or not is moot. In that case the current CPU would have no clockevent
either, so there would be nothing to keep ticking.

Remove it.

Sebastian Andrzej Siewior 902a9f9c50 tick: Mark tick related hrtimers to expiry in hard interrupt context
The tick related hrtimers, which drive the scheduler tick and hrtimer based
broadcasting are required to expire in hard interrupt context for obvious
reasons.

Mark them so PREEMPT_RT kernels wont move them to soft interrupt expiry.

Make the horribly formatted RCU_NONIDLE bracket maze readable while at it.

No functional change,

Nicholas Piggin 08ae95f4fd nohz_full: Allow the boot CPU to be nohz_full
Allow the boot CPU/CPU0 to be nohz_full. Have the boot CPU take the
do_timer duty during boot until a housekeeping CPU can take over.

This is supported when CONFIG_PM_SLEEP_SMP is not configured, or when
it is configured and the arch allows suspend on non-zero CPUs.

nohz_full has been trialed at a large supercomputer site and found to
significantly reduce jitter. In order to deploy it in production, they
need CPU0 to be nohz_full because their job control system requires
the application CPUs to start from 0, and the housekeeping CPUs are
placed higher. An equivalent job scheduling that uses CPU0 for
housekeeping could be achieved by modifying their system, but it is
preferable if nohz_full can support their environment without
modification.

Ulf Hansson 6f9b83ac87 cpuidle: Export the next timer expiration for CPUs
To be able to predict the sleep duration for a CPU entering idle, it
is essential to know the expiration time of the next timer.  Both the
teo and the menu cpuidle governors already use this information for
CPU idle state selection.

Moving forward, a similar prediction needs to be made for a group of
idle CPUs rather than for a single one and the following changes
implement a new genpd governor for that purpose.

In order to support that feature, add a new function called
tick_nohz_get_next_hrtimer() that will return the next hrtimer
expiration time of a given CPU to be invoked after deciding
whether or not to stop the scheduler tick on that CPU.

Make the cpuidle core call tick_nohz_get_next_hrtimer() right
before invoking the ->enter() callback provided by the cpuidle
driver for the given state and store its return value in the
per-CPU struct cpuidle_device, so as to make it available to code
outside of cpuidle.

Note that at the point when cpuidle calls tick_nohz_get_next_hrtimer(),
the governor's ->select() callback has already returned and indicated
whether or not the tick should be stopped, so in fact the value
returned by tick_nohz_get_next_hrtimer() always is the next hrtimer
expiration time for the given CPU, possibly including the tick (if
it hasn't been stopped).

As stated in the pull request for the unification of CLOCK_MONOTONIC and
CLOCK_BOOTTIME, it was clear that we might have to revert the change.

As reported by several folks systemd and other applications rely on the
documented behaviour of CLOCK_MONOTONIC on Linux and break with the above
changes. After resume daemons time out and other timeout related issues are
observed. Rafael compiled this list:

* systemd kills daemons on resume, after >WatchdogSec seconds
  of suspending (Genki Sky).  [Verified that that's because systemd uses
  CLOCK_MONOTONIC and expects it to not include the suspend time.]

* systemd-journald misbehaves after resume:
  systemd-journald[7266]: File /var/log/journal/016627c3c4784cd4812d4b7e96a34226/system.journal
corrupted or uncleanly shut down, renaming and replacing.
  (Mike Galbraith).

* NetworkManager reports "networking disabled" and networking is broken
  after resume 50% of the time (Pavel).  [May be because of systemd.]

* MATE desktop dims the display and starts the screensaver right after
  system resume (Pavel).

* Full system hang during resume (me).  [May be due to systemd or NM or both.]

That happens on debian and open suse systems.

It's sad, that these problems were neither catched in -next nor by those
folks who expressed interest in this change.

Thomas Gleixner 1f71addd34 tick/sched: Do not mess with an enqueued hrtimer
Kaike reported that in tests rdma hrtimers occasionaly stopped working. He
did great debugging, which provided enough context to decode the problem.

CPU 3			     	      	     CPU 2

idle
start sched_timer expires = 712171000000
 queue->next = sched_timer
					    start rdmavt timer. expires = 712172915662
					    lock(baseof(CPU3))
tick_nohz_stop_tick()
tick = 716767000000			    timerqueue_add(tmr)

hrtimer_set_expires(sched_timer, tick);
  sched_timer->expires = 716767000000  <---- FAIL
					     if (tmr->expires < queue->next->expires)
hrtimer_start(sched_timer)		          queue->next = tmr;
lock(baseof(CPU3))
					     unlock(baseof(CPU3))
timerqueue_remove()
timerqueue_add()

ts->sched_timer is queued and queue->next is pointing to it, but then
ts->sched_timer.expires is modified.

This not only corrupts the ordering of the timerqueue RB tree, it also
makes CPU2 see the new expiry time of timerqueue->next->expires when
checking whether timerqueue->next needs to be updated. So CPU2 sees that
the rdma timer is earlier than timerqueue->next and sets the rdma timer as
new next.

Depending on whether it had also seen the new time at RB tree enqueue, it
might have queued the rdma timer at the wrong place and then after removing
the sched_timer the RB tree is completely hosed.

The problem was introduced with a commit which tried to solve inconsistency
between the hrtimer in the tick_sched data and the underlying hardware
clockevent. It split out hrtimer_set_expires() to store the new tick time
in both the NOHZ and the NOHZ + HIGHRES case, but missed the fact that in
the NOHZ + HIGHRES case the hrtimer might still be queued.

Use hrtimer_start(timer, tick...) for the NOHZ + HIGHRES case which sets
timer->expires after canceling the timer and move the hrtimer_set_expires()
invocation into the NOHZ only code path which is not affected as it merily
uses the hrtimer as next event storage so code pathes can be shared with
the NOHZ + HIGHRES case.

kernel/time/tick-sched.c:538:2: error: 'now' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

This introduces a temporary variable to track the flags so gcc
doesn't have to evaluate twice, eliminating the code path that
leads to the warning.

Rafael J. Wysocki 296bb1e51a cpuidle: menu: Refine idle state selection for running tick
If the tick isn't stopped, the target residency of the state selected
by the menu governor may be greater than the actual time to the next
tick and that means lost energy.

To avoid that, make tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() return the current
time to the next event (before stopping the tick) in addition to the
estimated one via an extra pointer argument and make menu_select()
use that value to refine the state selection when necessary.

Rafael J. Wysocki 554c8aa8ec sched: idle: Select idle state before stopping the tick
In order to address the issue with short idle duration predictions
by the idle governor after the scheduler tick has been stopped,
reorder the code in cpuidle_idle_call() so that the governor idle
state selection runs before tick_nohz_idle_go_idle() and use the
"nohz" hint returned by cpuidle_select() to decide whether or not
to stop the tick.

This isn't straightforward, because menu_select() invokes
tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() to get the time to the next timer
event and the number returned by the latter comes from
__tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick().  Fortunately, however, it is possible
to compute that number without actually stopping the tick and with
the help of the existing code.

Namely, tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() can be made call
tick_nohz_next_event(), introduced earlier, to get the time to the
next non-highres timer event.  If that happens, tick_nohz_next_event()
need not be called by __tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() again.

If it turns out that the scheduler tick cannot be stopped going
forward or the next timer event is too close for the tick to be
stopped, tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() can simply return the time to
the next event currently programmed into the corresponding clock
event device.

In addition to knowing the return value of tick_nohz_next_event(),
however, tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() needs to know the time to the
next highres timer event, but with the scheduler tick timer excluded,
which can be computed with the help of hrtimer_get_next_event().

That minimum of that number and the tick_nohz_next_event() return
value is the total time to the next timer event with the assumption
that the tick will be stopped.  It can be returned to the idle
governor which can use it for predicting idle duration (under the
assumption that the tick will be stopped) and deciding whether or
not it makes sense to stop the tick before putting the CPU into the
selected idle state.

With the above, the sleep_length field in struct tick_sched is not
necessary any more, so drop it.

Rafael J. Wysocki 23a8d88810 time: tick-sched: Split tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick()
In order to address the issue with short idle duration predictions
by the idle governor after the scheduler tick has been stopped, split
tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() into two separate routines, one computing
the time to the next timer event and the other simply stopping the
tick when the time to the next timer event is known.

Prepare these two routines to be called separately, as one of them
will be called by the idle governor in the cpuidle_select() code
path after subsequent changes.

Update the former callers of tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() to use
the new routines, tick_nohz_next_event() and tick_nohz_stop_tick(),
instead of it and move the updates of the sleep_length field in
struct tick_sched into __tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() as it doesn't
need to be updated anywhere else.

There should be no intentional visible changes in functionality
resulting from this change.

Rafael J. Wysocki 45f1ff59e2 cpuidle: Return nohz hint from cpuidle_select()
Add a new pointer argument to cpuidle_select() and to the ->select
cpuidle governor callback to allow a boolean value indicating
whether or not the tick should be stopped before entering the
selected state to be returned from there.

Make the ladder governor ignore that pointer (to preserve its
current behavior) and make the menu governor return 'false" through
it if:
 (1) the idle exit latency is constrained at 0, or
 (2) the selected state is a polling one, or
 (3) the expected idle period duration is within the tick period
     range.

In addition to that, the correction factor computations in the menu
governor need to take the possibility that the tick may not be
stopped into account to avoid artificially small correction factor
values.  To that end, add a mechanism to record tick wakeups, as
suggested by Peter Zijlstra, and use it to modify the menu_update()
behavior when tick wakeup occurs.  Namely, if the CPU is woken up by
the tick and the return value of tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() is not
within the tick boundary, the predicted idle duration is likely too
short, so make menu_update() try to compensate for that by updating
the governor statistics as though the CPU was idle for a long time.

Since the value returned through the new argument pointer of
cpuidle_select() is not used by its caller yet, this change by
itself is not expected to alter the functionality of the code.

Rafael J. Wysocki 2aaf709a51 sched: idle: Do not stop the tick upfront in the idle loop
Push the decision whether or not to stop the tick somewhat deeper
into the idle loop.

Stopping the tick upfront leads to unpleasant outcomes in case the
idle governor doesn't agree with the nohz code on the duration of the
upcoming idle period.  Specifically, if the tick has been stopped and
the idle governor predicts short idle, the situation is bad regardless
of whether or not the prediction is accurate.  If it is accurate, the
tick has been stopped unnecessarily which means excessive overhead.
If it is not accurate, the CPU is likely to spend too much time in
the (shallow, because short idle has been predicted) idle state
selected by the governor [1].

As the first step towards addressing this problem, change the code
to make the tick stopping decision inside of the loop in do_idle().
In particular, do not stop the tick in the cpu_idle_poll() code path.
Also don't do that in tick_nohz_irq_exit() which doesn't really have
enough information on whether or not to stop the tick.

Rafael J. Wysocki 0e7767687f time: tick-sched: Reorganize idle tick management code
Prepare the scheduler tick code for reworking the idle loop to
avoid stopping the tick in some cases.

The idea is to split the nohz idle entry call to decouple the idle
time stats accounting and preparatory work from the actual tick stop
code, in order to later be able to delay the tick stop once we reach
more power-knowledgeable callers.

Move away the tick_nohz_start_idle() invocation from
__tick_nohz_idle_enter(), rename the latter to
__tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() and define tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick()
as a wrapper around it for calling it from the outside.

Make tick_nohz_idle_enter() only call tick_nohz_start_idle() instead
of calling the entire __tick_nohz_idle_enter(), add another wrapper
disabling and enabling interrupts around tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick()
and make the current callers of tick_nohz_idle_enter() call it too
to retain their current functionality.

Thomas Gleixner d6ed449afd timekeeping: Make the MONOTONIC clock behave like the BOOTTIME clock
The MONOTONIC clock is not fast forwarded by the time spent in suspend on
resume. This is only done for the BOOTTIME clock. The reason why the
MONOTONIC clock is not forwarded is historical: the original Linux
implementation was using jiffies as a base for the MONOTONIC clock and
jiffies have never been advanced after resume.

At some point when timekeeping was unified in the core code, the
MONONOTIC clock was advanced after resume which also advanced jiffies causing
interesting side effects. As a consequence the the MONOTONIC clock forwarding
was disabled again and the BOOTTIME clock was introduced, which allows to read
time since boot.

Back then it was not possible to completely distangle the MONOTONIC clock and
jiffies because there were still interfaces which exposed the MONOTONIC clock
behaviour based on the timer wheel and therefore jiffies.

As of today none of the MONOTONIC clock facilities depends on jiffies
anymore so the forwarding can be done seperately. This is achieved by
forwarding the variables which are used for the jiffies update after resume
before the tick is restarted,

In timekeeping resume, the change is rather simple. Instead of updating the
offset between the MONOTONIC clock and the REALTIME/BOOTTIME clocks, advance the
time keeper base for the MONOTONIC and the MONOTONIC_RAW clocks by the time
spent in suspend.

The MONOTONIC clock is now the same as the BOOTTIME clock and the offset between
the REALTIME and the MONOTONIC clocks is the same as before suspend.

There might be side effects in applications, which rely on the
(unfortunately) well documented behaviour of the MONOTONIC clock, but the
downsides of the existing behaviour are probably worse.

There is one obvious issue. Up to now it was possible to retrieve the time
spent in suspend by observing the delta between the MONOTONIC clock and the
BOOTTIME clock. This is not longer available, but the previously introduced
mechanism to read the active non-suspended monotonic time can mitigate that
in a detectable fashion.

Peter Zijlstra 00357f5ec5 sched/nohz: Clean up nohz enter/exit
The primary observation is that nohz enter/exit is always from the
current CPU, therefore NOHZ_TICK_STOPPED does not in fact need to be
an atomic.

Secondary is that we appear to have 2 nearly identical hooks in the
nohz enter code, set_cpu_sd_state_idle() and
nohz_balance_enter_idle(). Fold the whole set_cpu_sd_state thing into
nohz_balance_{enter,exit}_idle.

Removes an atomic op from both enter and exit paths.

Paul E. McKenney a7c8655b07 sched/isolation: Eliminate NO_HZ_FULL_ALL
Commit 6f1982fedd ("sched/isolation: Handle the nohz_full= parameter")
broke CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL=y kernels.  This breakage is due to the code
under CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL failing to invoke the shiny new housekeeping
functions.  This means that rcutorture scenario TREE04 now emits RCU CPU
stall warnings due to the RCU grace-period kthreads not being awakened
at a time of their choosing, or perhaps even not at all:

[   27.731422] rcu_bh kthread starved for 21001 jiffies! g18446744073709551369 c18446744073709551368 f0x0 RCU_GP_WAIT_FQS(3) ->state=0x402 ->cpu=3

Because no one has complained about CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL=y being broken,
I hypothesize that no one is in fact using it, other than rcutorture.
This commit therefore eliminates CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL and updates
rcutorture's config files to instead use the nohz_full= kernel parameter
to put the desired CPUs into nohz_full mode.

Thomas Gleixner ae67badaa1 hrtimer: Optimize the hrtimer code by using static keys for migration_enable/nohz_active
The hrtimer_cpu_base::migration_enable and ::nohz_active fields
were originally introduced to avoid accessing global variables
for these decisions.

Still that results in a (cache hot) load and conditional branch,
which can be avoided by using static keys.

Implement it with static keys and optimize for the most critical
case of high performance networking which tends to disable the
timer migration functionality.

No change in functionality.

Thomas Gleixner 5d62c183f9 nohz: Prevent a timer interrupt storm in tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick()
The conditions in irq_exit() to invoke tick_nohz_irq_exit() which
subsequently invokes tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() are:

  if ((idle_cpu(cpu) && !need_resched()) || tick_nohz_full_cpu(cpu))

If need_resched() is not set, but a timer softirq is pending then this is
an indication that the softirq code punted and delegated the execution to
softirqd. need_resched() is not true because the current interrupted task
takes precedence over softirqd.

Invoking tick_nohz_irq_exit() in this case can cause an endless loop of
timer interrupts because the timer wheel contains an expired timer, but
softirqs are not yet executed. So it returns an immediate expiry request,
which causes the timer to fire immediately again. Lather, rinse and
repeat....

Prevent that by adding a check for a pending timer soft interrupt to the
conditions in tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() which avoid calling
get_next_timer_interrupt(). That keeps the tick sched timer on the tick and
prevents a repetitive programming of an already expired timer.

Frederic Weisbecker d4af6d933c nohz: Fix spurious warning when hrtimer and clockevent get out of sync
The sanity check ensuring that the tick expiry cache (ts->next_tick)
is actually in sync with the hardware clock (dev->next_event) makes the
wrong assumption that the clock can't be programmed later than the
hrtimer deadline.

In fact the clock hardware can be programmed later on some conditions
such as:

    * The hrtimer deadline is already in the past.
    * The hrtimer deadline is earlier than the minimum delay supported
      by the hardware.

Such conditions can be met when we program the tick, for example if the
last jiffies update hasn't been seen by the current CPU yet, we may
program the hrtimer to a deadline that is earlier than ktime_get()
because last_jiffies_update is our timestamp base to compute the next
tick.

As a result, we can randomly observe such warning:

	WARNING: CPU: 5 PID: 0 at kernel/time/tick-sched.c:794 tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick kernel/time/tick-sched.c:791 [inline]
	Call Trace:
	 tick_nohz_irq_exit
	 tick_irq_exit
	 irq_exit
	 exiting_irq
	 smp_call_function_interrupt
	 smp_call_function_single_interrupt
	 call_function_single_interrupt

Therefore, let's rather make sure that the tick expiry cache is sync'ed
with the tick hrtimer deadline, against which it is not supposed to
drift away. The clock hardware instead has its own will and can't be
used as a reliable comparison point.

again after that expired timer is handled.

Now this solution works most of the time but if we suffer an IRQ storm
and those interrupts trigger faster than the hardware clockevents min
delay, our tick won't fire until that IRQ storm is finished.

Here is the problem: on IRQ exit we reprog the timer to at least
NOW() + min_clockevents_delay. Another IRQ fires before the tick so we
reschedule again to NOW() + min_clockevents_delay, etc... The tick
is eternally rescheduled min_clockevents_delay ahead.

A solution is to simply remove this soft tick restart. After all
the normal dynticks evaluation path can handle 0 delay just fine. And
by doing that we benefit from the optimization branch which avoids
clock reprogramming if the clockevents deadline hasn't changed since
the last reprog. This fixes our issue because we don't do repetitive
clock reprog that always add hardware min delay.

As a side effect it should even optimize the 0 delay path in general.

Frederic Weisbecker 7c25904508 nohz: Reset next_tick cache even when the timer has no regs
Handle tick interrupts whose regs are NULL, out of general paranoia. It happens
when hrtimer_interrupt() is called from non-interrupt contexts, such as hotplug
CPU down events.

Frederic Weisbecker 411fe24e6b nohz: Fix collision between tick and other hrtimers, again
This restores commit:

  24b91e360ef5: ("nohz: Fix collision between tick and other hrtimers")

... which got reverted by commit:

  558e8e27e73f: ('Revert "nohz: Fix collision between tick and other hrtimers"')

... due to a regression where CPUs spuriously stopped ticking.

The bug happened when a tick fired too early past its expected expiration:
on IRQ exit the tick was scheduled again to the same deadline but skipped
reprogramming because ts->next_tick still kept in cache the deadline.
This has been fixed now with resetting ts->next_tick from the tick
itself. Extra care has also been taken to prevent from obsolete values
throughout CPU hotplug operations.

When the tick is stopped and an interrupt occurs afterward, we check on
that interrupt exit if the next tick needs to be rescheduled. If it
doesn't need any update, we don't want to do anything.

In order to check if the tick needs an update, we compare it against the
clockevent device deadline. Now that's a problem because the clockevent
device is at a lower level than the tick itself if it is implemented
on top of hrtimer.

Every hrtimer share this clockevent device. So comparing the next tick
deadline against the clockevent device deadline is wrong because the
device may be programmed for another hrtimer whose deadline collides
with the tick. As a result we may end up not reprogramming the tick
accidentally.

In a worst case scenario under full dynticks mode, the tick stops firing
as it is supposed to every 1hz, leaving /proc/stat stalled:

      Task in a full dynticks CPU
      ----------------------------

      * hrtimer A is queued 2 seconds ahead
      * the tick is stopped, scheduled 1 second ahead
      * tick fires 1 second later
      * on tick exit, nohz schedules the tick 1 second ahead but sees
        the clockevent device is already programmed to that deadline,
        fooled by hrtimer A, the tick isn't rescheduled.
      * hrtimer A is cancelled before its deadline
      * tick never fires again until an interrupt happens...

In order to fix this, store the next tick deadline to the tick_sched
local structure and reuse that value later to check whether we need to
reprogram the clock after an interrupt.

On the other hand, ts->sleep_length still wants to know about the next
clock event and not just the tick, so we want to improve the related
comment to avoid confusion.
