Inspired by recent enhancements to comments in kernel/time/tick-sched.c,
go through the entire file and fix/unify its comments:
- Fix over a dozen typos, spelling mistakes & cases of bad grammar.
- Re-phrase sentences that I needed to read three times to understand.
[ I used the following arbitrary rule-of-thumb:
- if I had to read a comment twice, it was usually my fault,
- if I had to read it a third time, it was the comment's fault. ]
- Comma updates:
- Add commas where needed
- Remove commas where not needed
- In cases where a comma is optional, choose one variant and try to
standardize it over similar sentences in the file.
- Standardize on standalone 'NOHZ' spelling in free-flowing comments:
s/nohz/NOHZ
s/no idle tick/NOHZ
Still keep 'dynticks' as a popular synonym.
- Standardize on referring to variable names within free-flowing
comments with the "'var'" nomenclature, and function names as
"function_name()".
- Standardize on '64-bit' and '32-bit':
s/32bit/32-bit
s/64bit/64-bit
- Standardize on 'IRQ work':
s/irq work/IRQ work
- A few other tidyups I probably missed to list.
No change in functionality intended - other than one small change to
a syslog output string.

In lowres dynticks mode, just like in highres dynticks mode, when there
is no tick to program in the future, the tick eventually gets
deactivated either:
* From the idle loop if in idle mode.
* From the IRQ exit if in full dynticks mode.
Therefore there is no need to deactivate it from the tick itself. This
just just brings more overhead in the idle tick path for no reason.

Some comments are obsolete enough to assume that IRQ exit restarts the
tick in idle or RCU is turned on at the same time as the tick, among
other details.

In commit 0345691b24c0 ("tick/rcu: Stop allowing RCU_SOFTIRQ in idle") the
new function report_idle_softirq() was created by breaking code out of the
existing can_stop_idle_tick() for kernels v5.18 and newer.
In doing so, the code essentially went from a one conditional:
if (a && b && c)
warn();
to a three conditional:
if (!a)
return;
if (!b)
return;
if (!c)
return;
warn();
But that conversion got the condition for the RT specific
local_bh_blocked() wrong. The original condition was:
!local_bh_blocked()
but the conversion failed to negate it so it ended up as:
if (!local_bh_blocked())
return false;
This issue lay dormant until another fixup for the same commit was added
in commit a7e282c77785 ("tick/rcu: Fix bogus ratelimit condition").
This commit realized the ratelimit was essentially set to zero instead
of ten, and hence *no* softirq pending messages would ever be issued.
Once this commit was backported via linux-stable, both the v6.1 and v6.4
preempt-rt kernels started printing out 10 instances of this at boot:
NOHZ tick-stop error: local softirq work is pending, handler #80!!!
Remove the negation and return when local_bh_blocked() evaluates to true to
bring the correct behaviour back.

exit condition is always true:
static int ratelimit;
if (ratelimit < 10)
return false; ---> always returns here
ratelimit++; ---> no chance to run

The tick period is aligned very early while the first clock_event_device is
registered. At that point the system runs in periodic mode and switches
later to one-shot mode if possible.
The next wake-up event is programmed based on the aligned value
(tick_next_period) but the delta value, that is used to program the
clock_event_device, is computed based on ktime_get().
With the subtracted offset, the device fires earlier than the exact time
frame. With a large enough offset the system programs the timer for the
next wake-up and the remaining time left is too small to make any boot
progress. The system hangs.
Move the alignment later to the setup of tick_sched timer. At this point
the system switches to oneshot mode and a high resolution clocksource is
available. At this point it is safe to align tick_next_period because
ktime_get() will now return accurate (not jiffies based) time.

Pull timers and timekeeping updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Improve the VDSO build time checks to cover all dynamic relocations
VDSO does not allow dynamic relocations, but the build time check is
incomplete and fragile.
It's based on architectures specifying the relocation types to search
for and does not handle R_*_NONE relocation entries correctly.
R_*_NONE relocations are injected by some GNU ld variants if they
fail to determine the exact .rel[a]/dyn_size to cover trailing zeros.
R_*_NONE relocations must be ignored by dynamic loaders, so they
should be ignored in the build time check too.
Remove the architecture specific relocation types to check for and
validate strictly that no other relocations than R_*_NONE end up in
the VSDO .so file.
- Prefer signal delivery to the current thread for
CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID based posix-timers
Such timers prefer to deliver the signal to the main thread of a
process even if the context in which the timer expires is the current
task. This has the downside that it might wake up an idle thread.
As there is no requirement or guarantee that the signal has to be
delivered to the main thread, avoid this by preferring the current
task if it is part of the thread group which shares sighand.
This not only avoids waking idle threads, it also distributes the
signal delivery in case of multiple timers firing in the context of
different threads close to each other better.
- Align the tick period properly (again)
For a long time the tick was starting at CLOCK_MONOTONIC zero, which
allowed users space applications to either align with the tick or to
place a periodic computation so that it does not interfere with the
tick. The alignement of the tick period was more by chance than by
intention as the tick is set up before a high resolution clocksource
is installed, i.e. timekeeping is still tick based and the tick
period advances from there.
The early enablement of sched_clock() broke this alignement as the
time accumulated by sched_clock() is taken into account when
timekeeping is initialized. So the base value now(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) is
not longer a multiple of tick periods, which breaks applications
which relied on that behaviour.
Cure this by aligning the tick starting point to the next multiple of
tick periods, i.e 1000ms/CONFIG_HZ.
- A set of NOHZ fixes and enhancements:
* Cure the concurrent writer race for idle and IO sleeptime
statistics
The statitic values which are exposed via /proc/stat are updated
from the CPU local idle exit and remotely by cpufreq, but that
happens without any form of serialization. As a consequence
sleeptimes can be accounted twice or worse.
Prevent this by restricting the accumulation writeback to the CPU
local idle exit and let the remote access compute the accumulated
value.
* Protect idle/iowait sleep time with a sequence count
Reading idle/iowait sleep time, e.g. from /proc/stat, can race
with idle exit updates. As a consequence the readout may result
in random and potentially going backwards values.
Protect this by a sequence count, which fixes the idle time
statistics issue, but cannot fix the iowait time problem because
iowait time accounting races with remote wake ups decrementing
the remote runqueues nr_iowait counter. The latter is impossible
to fix, so the only way to deal with that is to document it
properly and to remove the assertion in the selftest which
triggers occasionally due to that.
* Restructure struct tick_sched for better cache layout
* Some small cleanups and a better cache layout for struct
tick_sched
- Implement the missing timer_wait_running() callback for POSIX CPU
timers
For unknown reason the introduction of the timer_wait_running()
callback missed to fixup posix CPU timers, which went unnoticed for
almost four years.
While initially only targeted to prevent livelocks between a timer
deletion and the timer expiry function on PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels,
it turned out that fixing this for mainline is not as trivial as just
implementing a stub similar to the hrtimer/timer callbacks.
The reason is that for CONFIG_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK enabled
systems there is a livelock issue independent of RT.
CONFIG_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK=y moves the expiry of POSIX CPU
timers out from hard interrupt context to task work, which is handled
before returning to user space or to a VM. The expiry mechanism moves
the expired timers to a stack local list head with sighand lock held.
Once sighand is dropped the task can be preempted and a task which
wants to delete a timer will spin-wait until the expiry task is
scheduled back in. In the worst case this will end up in a livelock
when the preempting task and the expiry task are pinned on the same
CPU.
The timer wheel has a timer_wait_running() mechanism for RT, which
uses a per CPU timer-base expiry lock which is held by the expiry
code and the task waiting for the timer function to complete blocks
on that lock.
This does not work in the same way for posix CPU timers as there is
no timer base and expiry for process wide timers can run on any task
belonging to that process, but the concept of waiting on an expiry
lock can be used too in a slightly different way.
Add a per task mutex to struct posix_cputimers_work, let the expiry
task hold it accross the expiry function and let the deleting task
which waits for the expiry to complete block on the mutex.
In the non-contended case this results in an extra
mutex_lock()/unlock() pair on both sides.
This avoids spin-waiting on a task which is scheduled out, prevents
the livelock and cures the problem for RT and !RT systems

The per-cpu iowait task counter is incremented locally upon sleeping.
But since the task can be woken to (and by) another CPU, the counter may
then be decremented remotely. This is the source of a race involving
readers VS writer of idle/iowait sleeptime.
The following scenario shows an example where a /proc/stat reader
observes a pending sleep time as IO whereas that pending sleep time
later eventually gets accounted as non-IO.
CPU 0 CPU 1 CPU 2
----- ----- ------
//io_schedule() TASK A
current->in_iowait = 1
rq(0)->nr_iowait++
//switch to idle
// READ /proc/stat
// See nr_iowait_cpu(0) == 1
return ts->iowait_sleeptime +
ktime_sub(ktime_get(), ts->idle_entrytime)
//try_to_wake_up(TASK A)
rq(0)->nr_iowait--
//idle exit
// See nr_iowait_cpu(0) == 0
ts->idle_sleeptime += ktime_sub(ktime_get(), ts->idle_entrytime)
As a result subsequent reads on /proc/stat may expose backward progress.
This is unfortunately hardly fixable. Just add a comment about that
condition.

Reading idle/IO sleep time (eg: from /proc/stat) can race with idle exit
updates because the state machine handling the stats is not atomic and
requires a coherent read batch.
As a result reading the sleep time may report irrelevant or backward
values.
Fix this with protecting the simple state machine within a seqcount.
This is expected to be cheap enough not to add measurable performance
impact on the idle path.
Note this only fixes reader VS writer condition partitially. A race
remains that involves remote updates of the CPU iowait task counter. It
can hardly be fixed.

The idle and IO sleeptime statistics appearing in /proc/stat can be
currently updated from two sites: locally on idle exit and remotely
by cpufreq. However there is no synchronization mechanism protecting
concurrent updates. It is therefore possible to account the sleeptime
twice, among all the other possible broken scenarios.
To prevent from breaking the sleeptime accounting source, restrict the
sleeptime updates to the local idle exit site. If there is a delta to
add since the last update, IO/Idle sleep time readers will now only
compute the delta without actually writing it back to the internal idle
statistic fields.
This fixes a writer VS writer race. Note there are still two known
reader VS writer races to handle. A subsequent patch will fix one.

For CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL systems, the tick_do_timer_cpu cannot be offlined.
However, cpu_is_hotpluggable() still returns true for those CPUs. This causes
torture tests that do offlining to end up trying to offline this CPU causing
test failures. Such failure happens on all architectures.
Fix the repeated error messages thrown by this (even if the hotplug errors are
harmless) by asking the opinion of the nohz subsystem on whether the CPU can be
hotplugged.

Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney:
- Documentation updates
- Miscellaneous fixes
- Callback-offload updates, perhaps most notably a new
RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL Kconfig option that causes all CPUs to be
offloaded at boot time, regardless of kernel boot parameters.
This is useful to battery-powered systems such as ChromeOS and
Android. In addition, a new RCU_NOCB_CPU_CB_BOOST kernel boot
parameter prevents offloaded callbacks from interfering with
real-time workloads and with energy-efficiency mechanisms
- Polled grace-period updates, perhaps most notably making these APIs
account for both normal and expedited grace periods
- Tasks RCU updates, perhaps most notably reducing the CPU overhead of
RCU tasks trace grace periods by more than a factor of two on a
system with 15,000 tasks.
The reduction is expected to increase with the number of tasks, so it
seems reasonable to hypothesize that a system with 150,000 tasks
might see a 20-fold reduction in CPU overhead
- Torture-test updates
- Updates that merge RCU's dyntick-idle tracking into context tracking,
thus reducing the overhead of transitioning to kernel mode from
either idle or nohz_full userspace execution for kernels that track
context independently of RCU.
This is expected to be helpful primarily for kernels built with
CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y

context_tracking_cpu_set() is called in order to tell a CPU to track
user/kernel transitions. Since context tracking is going to expand in
to also track transitions from/to idle/IRQ/NMIs, the scope
of this function name becomes too broad and needs to be made more
specific. Also shorten the prefix to align with the new namespace.

EXPORT_SYMBOL and __init is a bad combination because the .init.text
section is freed up after the initialization. Hence, modules cannot
use symbols annotated __init. The access to a freed symbol may end up
with kernel panic.
modpost used to detect it, but it had been broken for a decade.
Commit 28438794aba4 ("modpost: fix section mismatch check for exported
init/exit sections") fixed it so modpost started to warn it again, then
this showed up:

The symbol tick_nohz_full_setup is exported and annotated __init
Fix this by removing the __init annotation of tick_nohz_full_setup or drop the export.
Drop the export because tick_nohz_full_setup() is only called from the

is stopped
When tick_nohz_stop_tick() stops the tick and high resolution timers are
disabled, then the clock event device is not put into ONESHOT_STOPPED
mode. This can lead to spurious timer interrupts with some clock event
device drivers that don't shut down entirely after firing.
Eliminate these by putting the device into ONESHOT_STOPPED mode at points
where it is not being reprogrammed. When there are no timers active, then
tick_program_event() with KTIME_MAX can be used to stop the device. When
there is a timer active, the device can be stopped at the next tick (any
new timer added by timers will reprogram the tick).

While running some testing on code that happened to allow the variable
tick_nohz_full_running to get set but with no "possible" NOHZ cores to
back up that setting, this warning triggered:
if (unlikely(tick_do_timer_cpu == TICK_DO_TIMER_NONE))
WARN_ON(tick_nohz_full_running);
The console was overwhemled with an endless stream of one WARN per tick
per core and there was no way to even see what was going on w/o using a
serial console to capture it and then trace it back to this.
Change it to WARN_ON_ONCE().

RCU_SOFTIRQ used to be special in that it could be raised on purpose
within the idle path to prevent from stopping the tick. Some code still
prevents from unnecessary warnings related to this specific behaviour
while entering in dynticks-idle mode.
However the nohz layout has changed quite a bit in ten years, and the
removal of CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ has been the final straw to this
safe-conduct. Now the RCU_SOFTIRQ vector is expected to be raised from
sane places.
A remaining corner case is admitted though when the vector is invoked
in fragile hotplug path.

On some rare cases, the timekeeper CPU may be delaying its jiffies
update duty for a while. Known causes include:
* The timekeeper is waiting on stop_machine in a MULTI_STOP_DISABLE_IRQ
or MULTI_STOP_RUN state. Disabled interrupts prevent from timekeeping
updates while waiting for the target CPU to complete its
stop_machine() callback.
* The timekeeper vcpu has VMEXIT'ed for a long while due to some overload
on the host.
Detect and fix these situations with emergency timekeeping catchups.

When at least one CPU runs in nohz_full mode, a dedicated timekeeper CPU
is guaranteed to stay online and to never stop its tick.
Meanwhile on some rare case, the dedicated timekeeper may be running
with interrupts disabled for a while, such as in stop_machine.
If jiffies stop being updated, a nohz_full CPU may end up endlessly
programming the next tick in the past, taking the last jiffies update
monotonic timestamp as a stale base, resulting in an tick storm.
Here is a scenario where it matters:
0) CPU 0 is the timekeeper and CPU 1 a nohz_full CPU.
1) A stop machine callback is queued to execute somewhere.
2) CPU 0 reaches MULTI_STOP_DISABLE_IRQ while CPU 1 is still in
MULTI_STOP_PREPARE. Hence CPU 0 can't do its timekeeping duty. CPU 1
can still take IRQs.
3) CPU 1 receives an IRQ which queues a timer callback one jiffy forward.
4) On IRQ exit, CPU 1 schedules the tick one jiffy forward, taking
last_jiffies_update as a base. But last_jiffies_update hasn't been
updated for 2 jiffies since the timekeeper has interrupts disabled.
5) clockevents_program_event(), which relies on ktime_get(), observes
that the expiration is in the past and therefore programs the min
delta event on the clock.
6) The tick fires immediately, goto 3)
7) Tick storm, the nohz_full CPU is drown and takes ages to reach
MULTI_STOP_DISABLE_IRQ, which is the only way out of this situation.
Solve this with unconditionally updating jiffies if the value is stale
on nohz_full IRQ entry. IRQs and other disturbances are expected to be
rare enough on nohz_full for the unconditional call to ktime_get() to
actually matter.

When the tick dependency of a task is updated, we want it to aknowledge
the new state and restart the tick if needed. If the task is not
running, we don't need to kick it because it will observe the new
dependency upon scheduling in. But if the task is running, we may need
to send an IPI to it so that it gets notified.
Unfortunately we don't have the means to check if a task is running
in a race free way. Checking p->on_cpu in a synchronized way against
p->tick_dep_mask would imply adding a full barrier between
prepare_task_switch() and tick_nohz_task_switch(), which we want to
avoid in this fast-path.
Therefore we blindly fire an IPI to the task's CPU.
Meanwhile we can check if the task is queued on the CPU rq because
p->on_rq is always set to TASK_ON_RQ_QUEUED _before_ schedule() and its
full barrier that precedes tick_nohz_task_switch(). And if the task is
queued on a nohz_full CPU, it also has fair chances to be running as the
isolation constraints prescribe running single tasks on full dynticks
CPUs.
So use this as a trick to check if we can spare an IPI toward a
non-running task.
NOTE: For the ordering to be correct, it is assumed that we never
deactivate a task while it is running, the only exception being the task
deactivating itself while scheduling out.

When adding a tick dependency to a task, its necessary to
wake up the CPU where the task resides to reevaluate tick
dependencies on that CPU.
However the current code wakes up all nohz_full CPUs, which
is unnecessary.
Switch to waking up a single CPU, by using ordering of writes
to task->cpu and task->tick_dep_mask.

The idle_exittime field of tick_sched is used to record the time when
the idle state was left. but currently the idle_exittime is updated in
the function tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(), which is not always in idle
state when nohz_full is configured:
tick_irq_exit
tick_nohz_irq_exit
tick_nohz_full_update_tick
tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick
ts->idle_exittime = now;
It's thus overwritten by mistake on nohz_full tick restart. Move the
update to the appropriate idle exit path instead.

In nohz_full mode, switching from idle to a task will unconditionally
issue a tick restart. If the task is alone in the runqueue or is the
highest priority, the tick will fire once then eventually stop. But that
alone is still undesired noise.
Therefore, only restart the tick on idle exit when it's strictly
necessary.

On RT a task which has soft interrupts disabled can block on a lock and
schedule out to idle while soft interrupts are pending. This triggers the
warning in the NOHZ idle code which complains about going idle with pending
soft interrupts. But as the task is blocked soft interrupt processing is
temporarily blocked as well which means that such a warning is a false
positive.
To prevent that check the per CPU state which indicates that a scheduled
out task has soft interrupts disabled.

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.

The quick check in tick_do_update_jiffies64() whether jiffies need to be
updated is not really correct under all circumstances and on all
architectures, especially not on 32bit systems.
The quick check does:
if (now < READ_ONCE(tick_next_period))
return;
and the counterpart in the update is:
WRITE_ONCE(tick_next_period, next_update_time);
This has two problems:
1) On weakly ordered architectures there is no guarantee that the stores
before the WRITE_ONCE() are visible which means that other CPUs can
operate on a stale jiffies value.
2) On 32bit the store of tick_next_period which is an u64 is split into
two 32bit stores. If the first 32bit store advances tick_next_period
far out and the second 32bit store is delayed (virt, NMI ...) then
jiffies will become stale until the second 32bit store happens.
Address this by seperating the handling for 32bit and 64bit.
On 64bit problem #1 is addressed by replacing READ_ONCE() / WRITE_ONCE()
with smp_load_acquire() / smp_store_release().
On 32bit problem #2 is addressed by protecting the quick check with the
jiffies sequence counter. The load and stores can be plain because the
sequence count mechanics provides the required barriers already.

Get rid of the __call_single_node union and clean up the API a little
to avoid external code relying on the structure layout as much.

The variable tick_period is initialized to NSEC_PER_TICK / HZ during boot
and never updated again.
If NSEC_PER_TICK is not an integer multiple of HZ this computation is less
accurate than TICK_NSEC which has proper rounding in place.
Aside of the inaccuracy there is no reason for having this variable at
all. It's just a pointless indirection and all usage sites can just use the
TICK_NSEC constant.

Now that it's clear that there is always one tick to account, simplify the
calculations some more.

If jiffies are up to date already (caller lost the race against another
CPU) there is no point to change the sequence count. Doing that just forces
other CPUs into the seqcount retry loop in tick_nohz_next_event() for
nothing.
Just bail out early.

No point in doing calculations.
tick_next_period = last_jiffies_update + tick_period
Just check whether now is before tick_next_period to figure out whether
jiffies need an update.
Add a comment why the intentional data race in the quick check is safe or
not so safe in a 32bit corner case and why we don't worry about it.
