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

For some unknown reason the introduction of the timer_wait_running callback
missed to fixup posix CPU timers, which went unnoticed for almost four years.
Marco reported recently that the WARN_ON() in timer_wait_running()
triggers with a posix CPU timer test case.
Posix CPU timers have two execution models for expiring timers depending on
CONFIG_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK:
1) If not enabled, the expiry happens in hard interrupt context so
spin waiting on the remote CPU is reasonably time bound.
Implement an empty stub function for that case.
2) If enabled, the expiry happens in task work before returning to user
space or guest mode. The expired timers are marked as firing and moved
from the timer queue to a local list head with sighand lock held. Once
the timers are moved, sighand lock is dropped and the expiry happens in
fully preemptible context. That means the expiring task can be scheduled
out, migrated, interrupted etc. So spin waiting on it is more than
suboptimal.
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 mutex to struct posix_cputimers_work. This struct is per task
and used to schedule the expiry task work from the timer interrupt.
- Add a task_struct pointer to struct cpu_timer which is used to store
a the task which runs the expiry. That's filled in when the task
moves the expired timers to the local expiry list. That's not
affecting the size of the k_itimer union as there are bigger union
members already
- Let the task take the expiry mutex around the expiry function
- Let the waiter acquire a task reference with rcu_read_lock() held and
block on the expiry mutex
This avoids spin-waiting on a task which might not even be on a CPU and
works nicely for RT too.

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.

With HIGHRES enabled tick_sched_timer() is programmed every jiffy to
expire the timer_list timers. This timer is programmed accurate in
respect to CLOCK_MONOTONIC so that 0 seconds and nanoseconds is the
first tick and the next one is 1000/CONFIG_HZ ms later. For HZ=250 it is
every 4 ms and so based on the current time the next tick can be
computed.
This accuracy broke since the commit mentioned below because the jiffy
based clocksource is initialized with higher accuracy in
read_persistent_wall_and_boot_offset(). This higher accuracy is
inherited during the setup in tick_setup_device(). The timer still fires
every 4ms with HZ=250 but timer is no longer aligned with
CLOCK_MONOTONIC with 0 as it origin but has an offset in the us/ns part
of the timestamp. The offset differs with every boot and makes it
impossible for user land to align with the tick.
Align the tick period with CLOCK_MONOTONIC ensuring that it is always a
multiple of 1000/CONFIG_HZ ms.

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 timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Updates for timekeeping, timers and clockevent/source drivers:
Core:
- Yet another round of improvements to make the clocksource watchdog
more robust:
- Relax the clocksource-watchdog skew criteria to match the NTP
criteria.
- Temporarily skip the watchdog when high memory latencies are
detected which can lead to false-positives.
- Provide an option to enable TSC skew detection even on systems
where TSC is marked as reliable.
Sigh!
- Initialize the restart block in the nanosleep syscalls to be
directed to the no restart function instead of doing a partial
setup on entry.
This prevents an erroneous restart_syscall() invocation from
corrupting user space data. While such a situation is clearly a
user space bug, preventing this is a correctness issue and caters
to the least suprise principle.
- Ignore the hrtimer slack for realtime tasks in schedule_hrtimeout()
to align it with the nanosleep semantics.
Drivers:
- The obligatory new driver bindings for Mediatek, Rockchip and
RISC-V variants.
- Add support for the C3STOP misfeature to the RISC-V timer to handle
the case where the timer stops in deeper idle state.
- Set up a static key in the RISC-V timer correctly before first use.
- The usual small improvements and fixes all over the place"

syzbot reported a RCU stall which is caused by setting up an alarmtimer
with a very small interval and ignoring the signal. The reproducer arms the
alarm timer with a relative expiry of 8ns and an interval of 9ns. Not a
problem per se, but that's an issue when the signal is ignored because then
the timer is immediately rearmed because there is no way to delay that
rearming to the signal delivery path. See posix_timer_fn() and commit
58229a189942 ("posix-timers: Prevent softirq starvation by small intervals
and SIG_IGN") for details.
The reproducer does not set SIG_IGN explicitely, but it sets up the timers
signal with SIGCONT. That has the same effect as explicitely setting
SIG_IGN for a signal as SIGCONT is ignored if there is no handler set and
the task is not ptraced.
The log clearly shows that:
[pid 5102] --- SIGCONT {si_signo=SIGCONT, si_code=SI_TIMER, si_timerid=0, si_overrun=316014, si_int=0, si_ptr=NULL} ---
It works because the tasks are traced and therefore the signal is queued so
the tracer can see it, which delays the restart of the timer to the signal
delivery path. But then the tracer is killed:
[pid 5087] kill(-5102, SIGKILL <unfinished ...>
...

posix_timer_fn() prevents that by checking whether the interval for
timers which have the signal ignored is smaller than a jiffie and
artifically delay it by shifting the next expiry out by a jiffie. That's
accurate vs. the overrun accounting, but slightly inaccurate
vs. timer_gettimer(2).
The comment in that function says what needs to be done and there was a fix
available for the regular userspace induced SIG_IGN mechanism, but that did
not work due to the implicit ignore for SIGCONT and similar signals. This
needs to be worked on, but for now the only available workaround is to do
exactly what posix_timer_fn() does:
Increase the interval of self-rearming timers, which have their signal
ignored, to at least a jiffie.
Interestingly this has been fixed before via commit ff86bf0c65f1
("alarmtimer: Rate limit periodic intervals") already, but that fix got
lost in a later rework.

Pull clocksource watchdog changes from Paul McKenney:
o Improvements to clocksource-watchdog console messages.
o Loosening of the clocksource-watchdog skew criteria to match
those of NTP (500 parts per million, relaxed from 400 parts
per million). If it is good enough for NTP, it is good enough
for the clocksource watchdog.
o Suspend clocksource-watchdog checking temporarily when high
memory latencies are detected. This avoids the false-positive
clock-skew events that have been seen on production systems
running memory-intensive workloads.
o On systems where the TSC is deemed trustworthy, use it as the
watchdog timesource, but only when specifically requested using
the tsc=watchdog kernel boot parameter. This permits clock-skew
events to be detected, but avoids forcing workloads to use the
slow HPET and ACPI PM timers. These last two timers are slow
enough to cause systems to be needlessly marked bad on the one
hand, and real skew does sometimes happen on production systems
running production workloads on the other. And sometimes it is
the fault of the TSC, or at least of the firmware that told the
kernel to program the TSC with the wrong frequency.
o Add a tsc=revalidate kernel boot parameter to allow the kernel
to diagnose cases where the TSC hardware works fine, but was told
by firmware to tick at the wrong frequency. Such cases are rare,
but they really have happened on production systems.

Use atomic64_try_cmpxchg() instead of atomic64_cmpxchg() in
__update_gt_cputime(). The x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in ZF
flag, so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg() (and related move
instruction in front of cmpxchg()).
Also, atomic64_try_cmpxchg() implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old"
when cmpxchg() fails. There is no need to re-read the value in the loop.

While in theory the timer can be triggered before expires + delta, for the
cases of RT tasks they really have no business giving any lenience for
extra slack time, so override any passed value by the user and always use
zero for schedule_hrtimeout_range() calls. Furthermore, this is similar to
what the nanosleep(2) family already does with current->timer_slack_ns.

Bugs have been reported on 8 sockets x86 machines in which the TSC was
wrongly disabled when the system is under heavy workload.
[ 818.380354] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU336: hpet wd-wd read-back delay of 1203520ns
[ 818.436160] clocksource: wd-tsc-wd read-back delay of 181880ns, clock-skew test skipped!
[ 819.402962] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU338: hpet wd-wd read-back delay of 324000ns

[ 819.880863] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU339: hpet read-back delay of 150280ns, attempt 3, marking unstable
[ 819.936243] tsc: Marking TSC unstable due to clocksource watchdog
[ 820.068173] TSC found unstable after boot, most likely due to broken BIOS. Use 'tsc=unstable'.
[ 820.092382] sched_clock: Marking unstable (818769414384, 1195404998)
[ 820.643627] clocksource: Checking clocksource tsc synchronization from CPU 267 to CPUs 0,4,25,70,126,430,557,564.
[ 821.067990] clocksource: Switched to clocksource hpet
This can be reproduced by running memory intensive 'stream' tests,
or some of the stress-ng subcases such as 'ioport'.
The reason for these issues is the when system is under heavy load, the
read latency of the clocksources can be very high. Even lightweight TSC
reads can show high latencies, and latencies are much worse for external
clocksources such as HPET or the APIC PM timer. These latencies can
result in false-positive clocksource-unstable determinations.
These issues were initially reported by a customer running on a production
system, and this problem was reproduced on several generations of Xeon
servers, especially when running the stress-ng test. These Xeon servers
were not production systems, but they did have the latest steppings
and firmware.
Given that the clocksource watchdog is a continual diagnostic check with
frequency of twice a second, there is no need to rush it when the system
is under heavy load. Therefore, when high clocksource read latencies
are detected, suspend the watchdog timer for 5 minutes.

The nanosleep syscalls use the restart_block mechanism, with a quirk:
The `type` and `rmtp`/`compat_rmtp` fields are set up unconditionally on
syscall entry, while the rest of the restart_block is only set up in the
unlikely case that the syscall is actually interrupted by a signal (or
pseudo-signal) that doesn't have a signal handler.
If the restart_block was set up by a previous syscall (futex(...,
FUTEX_WAIT, ...) or poll()) and hasn't been invalidated somehow since then,
this will clobber some of the union fields used by futex_wait_restart() and
do_restart_poll().
If userspace afterwards wrongly calls the restart_syscall syscall,
futex_wait_restart()/do_restart_poll() will read struct fields that have
been clobbered.
This doesn't actually lead to anything particularly interesting because
none of the union fields contain trusted kernel data, and
futex(..., FUTEX_WAIT, ...) and poll() aren't syscalls where it makes much
sense to apply seccomp filters to their arguments.
So the current consequences are just of the "if userspace does bad stuff,
it can damage itself, and that's not a problem" flavor.
But still, it seems like a hazard for future developers, so invalidate the
restart_block when partly setting it up in the nanosleep syscalls.

When clocksource_watchdog() detects excessive clocksource skew compared
to the watchdog clocksource, it marks the clocksource under test as
unstable and prints several lines worth of message. But that message
is unclear to anyone unfamiliar with the code:
clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU2: Marking clocksource 'wdtest-ktime' as unstable because the skew is too large:
clocksource: 'kvm-clock' wd_nsec: 400744390 wd_now: 612625c2c wd_last: 5fa7f7c66 mask: ffffffffffffffff
clocksource: 'wdtest-ktime' cs_nsec: 600744034 cs_now: 173081397a292d4f cs_last: 17308139565a8ced mask: ffffffffffffffff
clocksource: 'kvm-clock' (not 'wdtest-ktime') is current clocksource.
Therefore, add the following line near the end of that message:
Clocksource 'wdtest-ktime' skewed 199999644 ns (199 ms) over watchdog 'kvm-clock' interval of 400744390 ns (400 ms)
This new line clearly indicates the amount of skew between the two
clocksources, along with the duration of the time interval over which
the skew occurred, both in nanoseconds and milliseconds.

When cs_watchdog_read() is unable to get a qualifying clocksource read

Currently, MAX_SKEW_USEC is set to 100 microseconds, which has worked
reasonably well. However, NTP is willing to tolerate 500 microseconds
of skew per second, and a clocksource that is good enough for NTP should
be good enough for the clocksource watchdog. The watchdog's skew is
controlled by MAX_SKEW_USEC and the CLOCKSOURCE_WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW_US
Kconfig option. However, these values are doubled before being associated
with a clocksource's ->uncertainty_margin, and the ->uncertainty_margin
values of the pair of clocksource's being compared are summed before
checking against the skew.
Therefore, set both MAX_SKEW_USEC and the default for the
CLOCKSOURCE_WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW_US Kconfig option to 125 microseconds of
skew per second, resulting in 500 microseconds of skew per second in
the clocksource watchdog's skew comparison.

The "hpet" here is misleading the clocksource watchdog is really
doing repeated reads of "hpet" in order to check for unrelated delays.
Therefore, print the name of the clocksource under test, prefixed by
"wd-" and suffixed by "-wd", for example, "wd-tsc-wd".

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
- Replace prandom_u32_max() and various open-coded variants of it,
there is now a new family of functions that uses fast rejection
sampling to choose properly uniformly random numbers within an
interval:
get_random_u32_below(ceil) - [0, ceil)
get_random_u32_above(floor) - (floor, U32_MAX]
get_random_u32_inclusive(floor, ceil) - [floor, ceil]
Coccinelle was used to convert all current users of
prandom_u32_max(), as well as many open-coded patterns, resulting in
improvements throughout the tree.
I'll have a "late" 6.1-rc1 pull for you that removes the now unused
prandom_u32_max() function, just in case any other trees add a new
use case of it that needs to converted. According to linux-next,
there may be two trivial cases of prandom_u32_max() reintroductions
that are fixable with a 's/.../.../'. So I'll have for you a final
conversion patch doing that alongside the removal patch during the
second week.
This is a treewide change that touches many files throughout.
- More consistent use of get_random_canary().
- Updates to comments, documentation, tests, headers, and
simplification in configuration.
- The arch_get_random*_early() abstraction was only used by arm64 and
wasn't entirely useful, so this has been replaced by code that works
in all relevant contexts.
- The kernel will use and manage random seeds in non-volatile EFI
variables, refreshing a variable with a fresh seed when the RNG is
initialized. The RNG GUID namespace is then hidden from efivarfs to
prevent accidental leakage.
These changes are split into random.c infrastructure code used in the
EFI subsystem, in this pull request, and related support inside of
EFISTUB, in Ard's EFI tree. These are co-dependent for full
functionality, but the order of merging doesn't matter.
- Part of the infrastructure added for the EFI support is also used for
an improvement to the way vsprintf initializes its siphash key,
replacing an sleep loop wart.
- The hardware RNG framework now always calls its correct random.c
input function, add_hwgenerator_randomness(), rather than sometimes
going through helpers better suited for other cases.
- The add_latent_entropy() function has long been called from the fork
handler, but is a no-op when the latent entropy gcc plugin isn't
used, which is fine for the purposes of latent entropy.
But it was missing out on the cycle counter that was also being mixed
in beside the latent entropy variable. So now, if the latent entropy
gcc plugin isn't enabled, add_latent_entropy() will expand to a call
to add_device_randomness(NULL, 0), which adds a cycle counter,
without the absent latent entropy variable.
- The RNG is now reseeded from a delayed worker, rather than on demand
when used. Always running from a worker allows it to make use of the
CPU RNG on platforms like S390x, whose instructions are too slow to
do so from interrupts. It also has the effect of adding in new inputs
more frequently with more regularity, amounting to a long term
transcript of random values. Plus, it helps a bit with the upcoming
vDSO implementation (which isn't yet ready for 6.2).
- The jitter entropy algorithm now tries to execute on many different
CPUs, round-robining, in hopes of hitting even more memory latencies
and other unpredictable effects. It also will mix in a cycle counter
when the entropy timer fires, in addition to being mixed in from the
main loop, to account more explicitly for fluctuations in that timer
firing. And the state it touches is now kept within the same cache
line, so that it's assured that the different execution contexts will
cause latencies.

Tearing down timers which have circular dependencies to other
functionality, e.g. workqueues, where the timer can schedule work and work
can arm timers, is not trivial.
In those cases it is desired to shutdown the timer in a way which prevents
rearming of the timer. The mechanism to do so is to set timer->function to
NULL and use this as an indicator for the timer arming functions to ignore
the (re)arm request.
Expose new interfaces for this: timer_shutdown_sync() and timer_shutdown().
timer_shutdown_sync() has the same functionality as timer_delete_sync()
plus the NULL-ification of the timer function.
timer_shutdown() has the same functionality as timer_delete() plus the
NULL-ification of the timer function.
In both cases the rearming of the timer is prevented by silently discarding
rearm attempts due to timer->function being NULL.

The warning of debug objects does not warn if timer->function == NULL. It
warns when timer was not initialized using timer_setup[_on_stack]() or via
DEFINE_TIMER(). If developers fail to enable debug objects and then waste
lots of time to figure out why their non-initialized timer is not firing,
they deserve it. Same for initializing a timer with a NULL function.

del_timer_sync() is assumed to be pointless on uniprocessor systems and can
be mapped to del_timer() because in theory del_timer() can never be invoked
while the timer callback function is executed.
This is not entirely true because del_timer() can be invoked from interrupt
context and therefore hit in the middle of a running timer callback.
Contrary to that del_timer_sync() is not allowed to be invoked from
interrupt context unless the affected timer is marked with TIMER_IRQSAFE.
del_timer_sync() has proper checks in place to detect such a situation.
Give up on the UP optimization and make del_timer_sync() unconditionally
available.

The timer code still has a few BUG_ON()s left which are crashing the kernel
in situations where it still can recover or simply refuse to take an
action.
Remove the one in the hotplug callback which checks for the CPU being
offline. If that happens then the whole hotplug machinery will explode in
colourful ways.
Replace the rest with WARN_ON_ONCE() and conditional returns where
appropriate.

del_singleshot_timer_sync() used to be an optimization for deleting timers
which are not rearmed from the timer callback function.
This optimization turned out to be broken and got mapped to
del_timer_sync() about 17 years ago.
Get rid of the undocumented indirection and use del_timer_sync() directly.
No functional change.

Rewrite the core freezer to behave better wrt thawing and be simpler
in general.
By replacing PF_FROZEN with TASK_FROZEN, a special block state, it is
ensured frozen tasks stay frozen until thawed and don't randomly wake
up early, as is currently possible.
As such, it does away with PF_FROZEN and PF_FREEZER_SKIP, freeing up
two PF_flags (yay!).
Specifically; the current scheme works a little like:
freezer_do_not_count();
schedule();
freezer_count();
And either the task is blocked, or it lands in try_to_freezer()
through freezer_count(). Now, when it is blocked, the freezer
considers it frozen and continues.
However, on thawing, once pm_freezing is cleared, freezer_count()
stops working, and any random/spurious wakeup will let a task run
before its time.
That is, thawing tries to thaw things in explicit order; kernel
threads and workqueues before doing bringing SMP back before userspace
etc.. However due to the above mentioned races it is entirely possible
for userspace tasks to thaw (by accident) before SMP is back.
This can be a fatal problem in asymmetric ISA architectures (eg ARMv9)
where the userspace task requires a special CPU to run.
As said; replace this with a special task state TASK_FROZEN and add
the following state transitions:
TASK_FREEZABLE -> TASK_FROZEN
__TASK_STOPPED -> TASK_FROZEN
__TASK_TRACED -> TASK_FROZEN
The new TASK_FREEZABLE can be set on any state part of TASK_NORMAL
(IOW. TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE) -- any such state
is already required to deal with spurious wakeups and the freezer
causes one such when thawing the task (since the original state is
lost).
The special __TASK_{STOPPED,TRACED} states *can* be restored since
their canonical state is in ->jobctl.
With this, frozen tasks need an explicit TASK_FROZEN wakeup and are
free of undue (early / spurious) wakeups.

In ns_to_kernel_old_timeval() definition, the function argument is defined
with const identifier in kernel/time/time.c, but the prototype in
include/linux/time32.h looks different.
- The function is defined in kernel/time/time.c as below:
struct __kernel_old_timeval ns_to_kernel_old_timeval(const s64 nsec)
- The function is decalared in include/linux/time32.h as below:
extern struct __kernel_old_timeval ns_to_kernel_old_timeval(s64 nsec);
Because the variable of arithmethic types isn't modified in the calling scope,
there's no need to mark arguments as const, which was already mentioned during
review (Link[1) of the original patch.
Likewise remove the "const" keyword in both definition and declaration of
ns_to_timespec64() as requested by Arnd (Link[2]).

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
