It is not always easy to determine the cause of an RCU stall just by
analysing the RCU stall messages, mainly when the problem is caused
by the indirect starvation of rcu threads. For example, when preempt_rcu
is not awakened due to the starvation of a timer softirq.
We have been hard coding panic() in the RCU stall functions for
some time while testing the kernel-rt. But this is not possible in
some scenarios, like when supporting customers.
This patch implements the sysctl kernel.panic_on_rcu_stall. If
set to 1, the system will panic() when an RCU stall takes place,
enabling the capture of a vmcore. The vmcore provides a way to analyze
all kernel/tasks states, helping out to point to the culprit and the
solution for the stall.
The kernel.panic_on_rcu_stall sysctl is disabled by default.
Changes from v1:
- Fixed a typo in the git log
- The if(sysctl_panic_on_rcu_stall) panic() is in a static function
- Fixed the CONFIG_TINY_RCU compilation issue
- The var sysctl_panic_on_rcu_stall is now __read_mostly

Currently, if the very first call to call_rcu_tasks() has irqs disabled,
it will create the rcu_tasks_kthread with irqs disabled, which will
result in a splat in the memory allocator, which kthread_run() invokes
with the expectation that irqs are enabled.
This commit fixes this problem by deferring kthread creation if called
with irqs disabled. The first call to call_rcu_tasks() that has irqs
enabled will create the kthread.
This bug was detected by rcutorture changes that were motivated by

Since commit 49d200deaa ("debugfs: prevent access to removed files'
private data"), a debugfs file's file_operations methods get proxied
through lifetime aware wrappers.
However, only a certain subset of the file_operations members is supported
by debugfs and ->mmap isn't among them -- it appears to be NULL from the
VFS layer's perspective.
This behaviour breaks the /sys/kernel/debug/kcov file introduced
concurrently with commit 5c9a8750a6 ("kernel: add kcov code coverage").
Since that file never gets removed, there is no file removal race and thus,
a lifetime checking proxy isn't needed.
Avoid the proxying for /sys/kernel/debug/kcov by creating it via
debugfs_create_file_unsafe() rather than debugfs_create_file().

0day found a boot warning triggered in rcu_perf_writer() on !SMP kernel:
WARN_ON(rcu_gp_is_normal() && gp_exp);
, the root cause of which is trying to measure expedited grace
periods(by setting gp_exp to true by default) when all the grace periods
are normal(TINY RCU only has normal grace periods).
However, such a mis-setting would only result in failing to measure the
performance for a specific kind of grace periods, therefore using a
WARN_ON to check this is a little overkilling. We could handle this
inside rcuperf module via some error messages to tell users about the
mis-settings.
Therefore this patch removes the WARN_ON in rcu_perf_writer() and
handles those checkings in rcu_perf_init() with plain if() code.
Moreover, this patch changes the default value of gp_exp to 1) align
with rcutorture tests and 2) make the default setting work for all RCU
implementations by default.

The NMI watchdog uses either the fixed cycles or a generic cycles
counter. This causes a lot of conflicts with users of the PMU who want
to run a full group including the cycles fixed counter, for example
the --topdown support recently added to perf stat. The code needs to
fall back to not use groups, which can cause measurement inaccuracy
due to multiplexing errors.
This patch switches the NMI watchdog to use reference cycles
on Intel systems. This is actually more accurate than cycles,
because cycles can tick faster than the measured CPU Frequency
due to Turbo mode.
The ref cycles always tick at their frequency, or slower when
the system is idling. That means the NMI watchdog can never
expire too early, unlike with cycles.
The reference cycles tick roughly at the frequency of the TSC,
so the same period computation can be used.

e9532e69b8 ("sched/cputime: Fix steal time accounting vs. CPU hotplug")
... set rq->prev_* to 0 after a CPU hotplug comes back, in order to
fix the case where (after CPU hotplug) steal time is smaller than
rq->prev_steal_time.
However, this should never happen. Steal time was only smaller because of the
KVM-specific bug fixed by the previous patch. Worse, the previous patch
triggers a bug on CPU hot-unplug/plug operation: because
rq->prev_steal_time is cleared, all of the CPU's past steal time will be
accounted again on hot-plug.
Since the root cause has been fixed, we can just revert commit e9532e69b8.

First drop of irqchip updates for 4.8 from Marc Zyngier:
- Fix a few bugs in configuring the default trigger from the irqdomain layer
- Make the genirq layer PM aware
- Add PM capability to the ARM GIC driver
- Add support for 2-level translation tables to the GICv3 ITS driver
Some IRQ chips may be located in a power domain outside of the CPU
subsystem and hence will require device specific runtime power
management. In order to support such IRQ chips, add a pointer for a
device structure to the irq_chip structure, and if this pointer is
populated by the IRQ chip driver and CONFIG_PM is selected in the kernel
configuration, then the pm_runtime_get/put APIs for this chip will be
called when an IRQ is requested/freed, respectively.

Some IRQ chips, such as GPIO controllers or secondary level interrupt
controllers, may require require additional runtime power management
control to ensure they are accessible. For such IRQ chips, it makes sense
to enable the IRQ chip when interrupts are requested and disabled them
again once all interrupts have been freed.
When mapping an IRQ, the IRQ type settings are read and then programmed.
The mapping of the IRQ happens before the IRQ is requested and so the
programming of the type settings occurs before the IRQ is requested. This
is a problem for IRQ chips that require additional power management
control because they may not be accessible yet. Therefore, when mapping
the IRQ, don't program the type settings, just save them and then program
these saved settings when the IRQ is requested (so long as if they are not
overridden via the call to request the IRQ).
Add a stub function for irq_domain_free_irqs() to avoid any compilation
errors when CONFIG_IRQ_DOMAIN_HIERARCHY is not selected.

For some devices the IRQ trigger type for a device is read from
firmware, such as device-tree. The IRQ trigger type is typically read
when the mapping for IRQ is created, which is before the IRQ is
requested. Hence, the IRQ trigger type is programmed when mapping the
IRQ and not when requesting the IRQ.
Although this works for most cases, in order to support IRQ chips which
require runtime power management, which may not be accessible prior
to requesting the IRQ, it is desirable to look-up the IRQ trigger type
when it is requested. Therefore, if the IRQ trigger type is not
specified when __setup_irq() is called, look-up the saved IRQ trigger
type. This will allow us to defer the programming of the trigger type
from when the IRQ is mapped to when it is actually requested.

When mapping an IRQ, it is possible that a mapping for the IRQ already
exists. If mapping does exist then there are the following issues with
regard to the handling of the IRQ type settings ...
1. If the domain is part of a hierarchy, then:
a. We do not check that the type settings for the existing mapping
match those of the new mapping.
b. We do not check to see if the type settings have been programmed
yet (and they might not have been) and so we may never set the
type.
2. If the domain is NOT part of a hierarchy, we will overwrite the
current type settings programmed if they are different from the
previous mapping. Please note that irq_create_mapping()
calls irq_find_mapping() to check if a mapping already exists.
Although, it may be unlikely that the type settings for a shared
interrupt would not match, nonetheless we should check for this.
Therefore, to fix this check if a mapping exists (regardless of whether
the domain is part of a hierarchy or not) and if it does then:
1. Return the IRQ number if the type settings match or are not
specified.
2. Program the type settings and return the IRQ number if the type
settings have not been programmed yet.
3. Otherwise if the type setting do not match, then print a warning
and don't return the IRQ number.
Furthermore, add a warning if the type return by irq_domain_translate()
has bits outside the sense mask set and then clear these bits. If these
bits are not cleared then this will cause the comparision of the type
settings for an existing mapping to fail with that of the new mapping
even if the sense bit themselves match. The reason being is that the
existing type settings are read by calling irq_get_trigger_type() which
will clear any bits outside the sense mask. This will allow us to detect
irqchips that are not correctly clearing these bits and fix them.
