This patchset is based on Google-internal RSEQ work done by Paul
Turner and Andrew Hunter.
When working with per-CPU RSEQ-based memory allocations, it is
sometimes important to make sure that a global memory location is no
longer accessed from RSEQ critical sections. For example, there can be
two per-CPU lists, one is "active" and accessed per-CPU, while another
one is inactive and worked on asynchronously "off CPU" (e.g. garbage
collection is performed). Then at some point the two lists are
swapped, and a fast RCU-like mechanism is required to make sure that
the previously active list is no longer accessed.
This patch introduces such a mechanism: in short, membarrier() syscall
issues an IPI to a CPU, restarting a potentially active RSEQ critical
section on the CPU.

The busy_factor, which increases load balance interval when a cpu is busy,
is set to 32 by default. This value generates some huge LB interval on
large system like the THX2 made of 2 node x 28 cores x 4 threads.
For such system, the interval increases from 112ms to 3584ms at MC level.
And from 228ms to 7168ms at NUMA level.
Even on smaller system, a lower busy factor has shown improvement on the
fair distribution of the running time so let reduce it for all.

sched domains tend to trigger simultaneously the load balance loop but
the larger domains often need more time to collect statistics. This
slowness makes the larger domain trying to detach tasks from a rq whereas
tasks already migrated somewhere else at a sub-domain level. This is not
a real problem for idle LB because the period of smaller domains will
increase with its CPUs being busy and this will let time for higher ones
to pulled tasks. But this becomes a problem when all CPUs are already busy
because all domains stay synced when they trigger their LB.
A simple way to minimize simultaneous LB of all domains is to decrement the
the busy interval by 1 jiffies. Because of the busy_factor, the interval of
larger domain will not be a multiple of smaller ones anymore.

The 25% default imbalance threshold for DIE and NUMA domain is large
enough to generate significant unfairness between threads. A typical
example is the case of 11 threads running on 2x4 CPUs. The imbalance of
20% between the 2 groups of 4 cores is just low enough to not trigger
the load balance between the 2 groups. We will have always the same 6
threads on one group of 4 CPUs and the other 5 threads on the other
group of CPUS. With a fair time sharing in each group, we ends up with
+20% running time for the group of 5 threads.
Consider decreasing the imbalance threshold for overloaded case where we
use the load to balance task and to ensure fair time sharing.

Some UCs like 9 always running tasks on 8 CPUs can't be balanced and the
load balancer currently migrates the waiting task between the CPUs in an
almost random manner. The success of a rq pulling a task depends of the
value of nr_balance_failed of its domains and its ability to be faster
than others to detach it. This behavior results in an unfair distribution
of the running time between tasks because some CPUs will run most of the
time, if not always, the same task whereas others will share their time
between several tasks.
Instead of using nr_balance_failed as a boolean to relax the condition
for detaching task, the LB will use nr_balanced_failed to relax the
threshold between the tasks'load and the imbalance. This mecanism
prevents the same rq or domain to always win the load balance fight.

We've met problems that occasionally tasks with full cpumask
(e.g. by putting it into a cpuset or setting to full affinity)
were migrated to our isolated cpus in production environment.
After some analysis, we found that it is due to the current
select_idle_smt() not considering the sched_domain mask.
Steps to reproduce on my 31-CPU hyperthreads machine:
1. with boot parameter: "isolcpus=domain,2-31"
(thread lists: 0,16 and 1,17)
2. cgcreate -g cpu:test; cgexec -g cpu:test "test_threads"
3. some threads will be migrated to the isolated cpu16~17.
Fix it by checking the valid domain mask in select_idle_smt().

The RT_RUNTIME_SHARE sched feature enables the sharing of rt_runtime
between CPUs, allowing a CPU to run a real-time task up to 100% of the
time while leaving more space for non-real-time tasks to run on the CPU
that lend rt_runtime.
The problem is that a CPU can easily borrow enough rt_runtime to allow
a spinning rt-task to run forever, starving per-cpu tasks like kworkers,
which are non-real-time by design.
This patch disables RT_RUNTIME_SHARE by default, avoiding this problem.
The feature will still be present for users that want to enable it,
though.

When a boosted task gets throttled, what normally happens is that it's
immediately enqueued again with ENQUEUE_REPLENISH, which replenishes the
runtime and clears the dl_throttled flag. There is a special case however:
if the throttling happened on sched-out and the task has been deboosted in
the meantime, the replenish is skipped as the task will return to its
normal scheduling class. This leaves the task with the dl_throttled flag
set.
Now if the task gets boosted up to the deadline scheduling class again
while it is sleeping, it's still in the throttled state. The normal wakeup
however will enqueue the task with ENQUEUE_REPLENISH not set, so we don't
actually place it on the rq. Thus we end up with a task that is runnable,
but not actually on the rq and neither a immediate replenishment happens,
nor is the replenishment timer set up, so the task is stuck in
forever-throttled limbo.
Clear the dl_throttled flag before dropping back to the normal scheduling
class to fix this issue.

do_init_timer() accepts any combination of timer flags handed in by the
caller without a sanity check, but only TIMER_DEFFERABLE, TIMER_PINNED and
TIMER_IRQSAFE are valid.
If the supplied flags have other bits set, this could result in
malfunction. If bits are set in TIMER_CPUMASK the first timer usage could
deference a cpu base which is outside the range of possible CPUs. If
TIMER_MIGRATION is set, then the switch_timer_base() will live lock.
Prevent that with a sanity check which warns when invalid flags are

For 64bit CONFIG_BASE_SMALL=0 systems PID_MAX_LIMIT is set by default to
4194304. During boot the kernel sets a new value based on number of CPUs
but no lower than 32768. It is 1024 per CPU so with 128 CPUs the default
becomes 131072 which needs six digits.
This value can be increased during run time but must not exceed the
initial upper limit.
Systemd sometime after v241 sets it to the upper limit during boot. The
result is that when the pid exceeds five digits, the trace output is a
little hard to read because it is no longer properly padded (same like
on big iron with 98+ CPUs).
Increase the pid padding to seven digits.

Currently the callback passed to arch_stack_walk() has an argument called
reliable passed to it to indicate if the stack entry is reliable, a comment
says that this is used by some printk() consumers. However in the current
kernel none of the arch_stack_walk() implementations ever set this flag to
true and the only callback implementation we have is in the generic
stacktrace code which ignores the flag. It therefore appears that this
flag is redundant so we can simplify and clarify things by removing it.

Commit 2a9127fcf2 ("mm: rewrite wait_on_page_bit_common() logic") made
the page locking entirely fair, in that if a waiter came in while the
lock was held, the lock would be transferred to the lockers strictly in
order.
That was intended to finally get rid of the long-reported watchdog
failures that involved the page lock under extreme load, where a process
could end up waiting essentially forever, as other page lockers stole
the lock from under it.
It also improved some benchmarks, but it ended up causing huge
performance regressions on others, simply because fair lock behavior
doesn't end up giving out the lock as aggressively, causing better
worst-case latency, but potentially much worse average latencies and
throughput.
Instead of reverting that change entirely, this introduces a controlled
amount of unfairness, with a sysctl knob to tune it if somebody needs
to. But the default value should hopefully be good for any normal load,
allowing a few rounds of lock stealing, but enforcing the strict
ordering before the lock has been stolen too many times.
There is also a hint from Matthieu Baerts that the fair page coloring
may end up exposing an ABBA deadlock that is hidden by the usual
optimistic lock stealing, and while the unfairness doesn't fix the
fundamental issue (and I'm still looking at that), it avoids it in
practice.
The amount of unfairness can be modified by writing a new value to the
'sysctl_page_lock_unfairness' variable (default value of 5, exposed
through /proc/sys/vm/page_lock_unfairness), but that is hopefully
something we'd use mainly for debugging rather than being necessary for
any deep system tuning.
This whole issue has exposed just how critical the page lock can be, and
how contended it gets under certain locks. And the main contention
doesn't really seem to be anything related to IO (which was the origin
of this lock), but for things like just verifying that the page file
mapping is stable while faulting in the page into a page table.

Commit 8344496e8b ("rcu-tasks: Conditionally compile
show_rcu_tasks_gp_kthreads()") introduced conditional
compilation of several functions, but forgot one occurrence of
show_rcu_tasks_classic_gp_kthread() that causes the compiler to warn of
an unused static function. This commit uses "static inline" to avoid
these complaints and possibly also to avoid emitting an actual definition
of this function.

To support MSI irq domains which do not fit at all into the regular MSI
irqdomain scheme, like the XEN MSI interrupt management for PV/HVM/DOM0,
it's necessary to allow to override the alloc/free implementation.
This is a preperatory step to switch X86 away from arch_*_msi_irqs() and
store the irq domain pointer right in struct device.
No functional change for existing MSI irq domain users.
Aside of the evil XEN wrapper this is also useful for special MSI domains
which need to do extra alloc/free work before/after calling the generic
core function. Work like allocating/freeing MSI descriptors, MSI storage
space etc.

PCI devices behind a VMD bus are not subject to interrupt remapping, but
the irq domain for VMD MSI cannot be distinguished from a regular PCI/MSI
irq domain.
Add a new domain bus token and allow it in the bus token check in
msi_check_reservation_mode() to keep the functionality the same once VMD
uses this token.

pci_msi_get_hwirq() and pci_msi_set_desc are not longer special. Enable the
generic MSI domain ops in the core and PCI MSI code unconditionally and get
rid of the x86 specific implementations in the X86 MSI code and in the
hyperv PCI driver.

The documentation of irq_chip_compose_msi_msg() claims that with
hierarchical irq domains the first chip in the hierarchy which has an
irq_compose_msi_msg() callback is chosen. But the code just keeps
iterating after it finds a chip with a compose callback.
The x86 HPET MSI implementation relies on that behaviour, but that does not
make it more correct.
The message should always be composed at the domain which manages the
underlying resource (e.g. APIC or remap table) because that domain knows
about the required layout of the message.
On X86 the following hierarchies exist:
1) vector -------- PCI/MSI
2) vector -- IR -- PCI/MSI
The vector domain has a different message format than the IR (remapping)
domain. So obviously the PCI/MSI domain can't compose the message without
having knowledge about the parent domain, which is exactly the opposite of
what hierarchical domains want to achieve.
X86 actually has two different PCI/MSI chips where #1 has a compose
callback and #2 does not. #2 delegates the composition to the remap domain
where it belongs, but #1 does it at the PCI/MSI level.
For the upcoming device MSI support it's necessary to change this and just
let the first domain which can compose the message take care of it. That
way the top level chip does not have to worry about it and the device MSI
code does not need special knowledge about topologies. It just sets the
compose callback to NULL and lets the hierarchy pick the first chip which
has one.
Due to that the attempt to move the compose callback from the direct
delivery PCI/MSI domain to the vector domain made the system fail to boot
with interrupt remapping enabled because in the remapping case
irq_chip_compose_msi_msg() keeps iterating and choses the compose callback
of the vector domain which obviously creates the wrong format for the remap
table.
Break out of the loop when the first irq chip with a compose callback is
found and fixup the HPET code temporarily. That workaround will be removed
once the direct delivery compose callback is moved to the place where it
belongs in the vector domain.

The __this_cpu*() accessors are (in general) IRQ-unsafe which, given
that percpu-rwsem is a blocking primitive, should be just fine.
However, file_end_write() is used from IRQ context and will cause
load-store issues on architectures where the per-cpu accessors are not
natively irq-safe.
Fix it by using the IRQ-safe this_cpu_*() for operations on
read_count. This will generate more expensive code on a number of
platforms, which might cause a performance regression for some of the
other percpu-rwsem users.
If any such is reported, we can consider alternative solutions.
