task->jobctl currently hosts JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING and will host TRAP
pending bits too. Setting pending conditions on a dying task may make
the task unkillable. Currently, each setting site is responsible for
checking for the condition but with to-be-added job control traps this
becomes too fragile.
This patch adds task_set_jobctl_pending() which should be used when
setting task->jobctl bits to schedule a stop or trap. The function
performs the followings to ease setting pending bits.
* Sanity checks.
* If fatal signal is pending or PF_EXITING is set, no bit is set.
* STOP_SIGMASK is automatically cleared if new value is being set.
do_signal_stop() and ptrace_attach() are updated to use
task_set_jobctl_pending() instead of setting STOP_PENDING explicitly.
The surrounding structures around setting are changed to fit
task_set_jobctl_pending() better but there should be no userland
visible behavior difference.

JOBCTL_TRAPPING indicates that ptracer is waiting for tracee to
(re)transit into TRACED. task_clear_jobctl_pending() must be called
when either tracee enters TRACED or the transition is cancelled for
some reason. The former is achieved by explicitly calling
task_clear_jobctl_pending() in ptrace_stop() and the latter by calling
it at the end of do_signal_stop().
Calling task_clear_jobctl_trapping() at the end of do_signal_stop()
limits the scope TRAPPING can be used and is fragile in that seemingly
unrelated changes to tracee's control flow can lead to stuck TRAPPING.
We already have task_clear_jobctl_pending() calls on those cancelling
events to clear JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING. Cancellations can be handled by
making those call sites use JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK instead and updating
task_clear_jobctl_pending() such that task_clear_jobctl_trapping() is
called automatically if no stop/trap is pending.
This patch makes the above changes and removes the fallback
task_clear_jobctl_trapping() call from do_signal_stop().

This patch introduces JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK and replaces
task_clear_jobctl_stop_pending() with task_clear_jobctl_pending()
which takes an extra @mask argument.
JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK is currently equal to JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING but
future patches will add more bits. recalc_sigpending_tsk() is updated
to use JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK instead.
task_clear_jobctl_pending() takes @mask which in subset of
JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK and clears the relevant jobctl bits. If
JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING is set, other STOP bits are cleared together. All
task_clear_jobctl_stop_pending() users are updated to call
task_clear_jobctl_pending() with JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING which is
functionally identical to task_clear_jobctl_stop_pending().

There is an optimization which does not update the timer if the timer

Since commit 3bbb9ec9 ("timers: Introduce the concept of timer slack

where the expiration time got extended due to the slack value. So we
need to check again after the expiration time might have been updated.

When irq_alloc_descs() is called with no base IRQ specified then it will
search for a range of IRQs starting from a specified base address. In the
case where an IRQ is specified it still does this search in order to ensure
that none of the requested range is already allocated and it still uses the
from parameter to specify the base for the search. This means that in the
case where a base is specified but from is zero (which is reasonable as
any IRQ number is in the range specified by a zero from) the function will
get confused and try to allocate the first suitably sized block of free IRQs
it finds.
Instead use a specified IRQ as the base address for the search, and insist
that any from that is specified can support that IRQ.

The genirq changes are initializing descriptors for sparse IRQs quite
differently from how non-sparse (stacked?) IRQs are initialized, with
the effect that on my platform all IRQs are default-disabled on sparse
IRQs and default-enabled if non-sparse IRQs are used, crashing some
GPIO driver.
Fix this by refactoring the non-sparse IRQs to use the same descriptor
init function as the sparse IRQs.

it to the spurious detector. If the primary handler returns only
IRQ_WAKE_THREAD then the spourious detector ignores it because it gets

For UP it's stupid to request an initialized cpumask for the clock

For SMP we can at least try to survive with a warning and set the
cpumask of the cpu we're running on. That gives a decent chance to
bring the machine up and retrieve the debug info.

Markus reported that commit 317f394160 ("sched: Move the second half
of ttwu() to the remote cpu") caused some accounting funnies on his AMD
Phenom II X4, such as weird 'top' results.
It turns out that this is due to non-synced TSC and the queued remote
wakeups stopped coupeling the two relevant cpu clocks, which leads to
wakeups seeing time jumps, which in turn lead to skewed runtime stats.
Add an explicit call to sched_clock_cpu() to couple the per-cpu clocks
to restore the normal flow of time.

Commit cc3ce5176d (rcu: Start RCU kthreads in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE
state) fudges a sleeping task' state, resulting in the scheduler seeing
a TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE task going to sleep, but a TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE
task waking up. The result is unbalanced load calculation.
The problem that patch tried to address is that the RCU threads could
stay in UNINTERRUPTIBLE state for quite a while and triggering the hung
task detector due to on-demand wake-ups.
Cure the problem differently by always giving the tasks at least one
wake-up once the CPU is fully up and running, this will kick them out of
the initial UNINTERRUPTIBLE state and into the regular INTERRUPTIBLE
wait state.
[ The alternative would be teaching kthread_create() to start threads as
INTERRUPTIBLE but that needs a tad more thought. ]

cpuidle: menu: fixed wrapping timers at 4.294 seconds
Thanks to the reviews and comments by Rafael, James, Mark and Andi.
Here's version 2 of the patch incorporating your comments and also some
update to my previous patch comments.
I noticed that before entering idle state, the menu idle governor will
look up the current pm_qos target value according to the list of qos
requests received. This look up currently needs the acquisition of a
lock to access the list of qos requests to find the qos target value,
slowing down the entrance into idle state due to contention by multiple
cpus to access this list. The contention is severe when there are a lot
of cpus waking and going into idle. For example, for a simple workload
that has 32 pair of processes ping ponging messages to each other, where
64 cpu cores are active in test system, I see the following profile with
37.82% of cpu cycles spent in contention of pm_qos_lock:
- 37.82% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k]
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave
- _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
- 95.65% pm_qos_request
menu_select
cpuidle_idle_call
- cpu_idle
99.98% start_secondary
A better approach will be to cache the updated pm_qos target value so
reading it does not require lock acquisition as in the patch below.
With this patch the contention for pm_qos_lock is removed and I saw a
2.2X increase in throughput for my message passing workload.

In order to always call list_del_event() on the correct cpu if the
event is part of an active context and avoid having to do two IPIs,
change the close() semantics slightly.
The current perf_event_disable() call would disable a whole group if
the event that's being closed is the group leader, whereas the new
code keeps the group siblings enabled.
People should not rely on this behaviour and I don't think they do,
but in case we find they do, the fix is easy and we have to take the
double IPI cost.

Currently __perf_install_in_context() will try and schedule in the
event irrespective of our event scheduling rules, that is, we try to
schedule CPU-pinned, TASK-pinned, CPU-flexible, TASK-flexible, but
when creating a new event we simply try and schedule it on top of
whatever is already on the PMU, this can lead to errors for pinned
events.
Therefore, simplify things and simply schedule everything out, add the
event to the corresponding context and schedule everything back in.
This also nicely handles the case where with
__ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW the IPI can come right in the middle

It is not necessary to use waitqueues for the RCU kthreads because
we always know exactly which thread is to be awakened. In addition,
wake_up() only issues an actual wakeup when there is a thread waiting on
the queue, which was why there was an extra explicit wake_up_process()
to get the RCU kthreads started.
Eliminating the waitqueues (and wake_up()) in favor of wake_up_process()
eliminates the need for the initial wake_up_process() and also shrinks
the data structure size a bit. The wakeup logic is placed in a new
rcu_wait() macro.
