<content type='text'>
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.

[ Apply Frederic Weisbecker feedback on refactoring tick_nohz_cpu_down(). ]

 - Micro-optimize tick_nohz_full_cpu()

 - Optimize idle exit tick restarts to be less eager

 - Optimize tick_nohz_dep_set_task() to only wake up a single CPU.
   This reduces IPIs and interruptions on nohz_full CPUs.

 - Optimize tick_nohz_dep_set_signal() in a similar fashion.

 - Skip IPIs in tick_nohz_kick_task() when trying to kick a
   non-running task.

 - Micro-optimize tick_nohz_task_switch() IRQ flags handling to

Checking for and processing RCU-nocb deferred wakeup upon user/guest
entry is only relevant when nohz_full runs on the local CPU, otherwise
the periodic tick should take care of it.

Make sure we don't needlessly pollute these fast-paths as a -3%
performance regression on a will-it-scale.per_process_ops has been
reported so far.

<title>tick/nohz: Evaluate the CPU expression after the static key</title>

<id>f105dfec0a951cd0d5bfbfe9dc067ea69f71ad5c</id>
<content type='text'>
When tick_nohz_full_cpu() is called with smp_processor_id(), the latter
is unconditionally evaluated whether the static key is on or off. It is
not necessary in the off-case though, so make sure the cpu expression
is executed at the last moment.

Illustrate with the following test function:

	int tick_nohz_test(void)
	{
		return tick_nohz_full_cpu(smp_processor_id());
	}

The resulting code before was:

	mov    %gs:0x7eea92d1(%rip),%eax   # smp_processor_id() fetch
	nopl   0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
	xor    %eax,%eax
	retq
	cmpb   $0x0,0x29d393a(%rip)        # &lt;tick_nohz_full_running&gt;
	je     tick_nohz_test+0x29         # jump to below eax clear
	mov    %eax,%eax
	bt     %rax,0x29d3936(%rip)        # &lt;tick_nohz_full_mask&gt;
	setb   %al
	movzbl %al,%eax
	retq
	xor    %eax,%eax
	retq

Now it becomes:

	nopl   0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
	xor    %eax,%eax
	retq
	cmpb   $0x0,0x29d3871(%rip)        # &lt;tick_nohz_full_running&gt;
	je     tick_nohz_test+0x29         # jump to below eax clear
	mov    %gs:0x7eea91f0(%rip),%eax   # smp_processor_id() fetch, after static key
	mov    %eax,%eax
	bt     %rax,0x29d3866(%rip)        # &lt;tick_nohz_full_mask&gt;
	setb   %al
	movzbl %al,%eax

<title>rcu: Enable tick for nohz_full CPUs slow to provide expedited QS</title>

<id>df1e849ae4559544ff00ff5052eefe2479750539</id>
<content type='text'>
An expedited grace period can be stalled by a nohz_full CPU looping
in kernel context.  This possibility is currently handled by some
carefully crafted checks in rcu_read_unlock_special() that enlist help
from ksoftirqd when permitted by the scheduler.  However, it is exactly
these checks that require the scheduler avoid holding any of its rq or
pi locks across rcu_read_unlock() without also having held them across
the entire RCU read-side critical section.

It would therefore be very nice if expedited grace periods could
handle nohz_full CPUs looping in kernel context without such checks.
This commit therefore adds code to the expedited grace period's wait
and cleanup code that forces the scheduler-clock interrupt on for CPUs
that fail to quickly supply a quiescent state.  "Quickly" is currently
a hard-coded single-jiffy delay.

Remove the superfluous "is" in the middle of the name. We want to
standardize the naming so that it can be expanded through suffixes:

	context_tracking_enabled()
	context_tracking_enabled_cpu()
	context_tracking_enabled_this_cpu()

<title>nohz: Add TICK_DEP_BIT_RCU</title>

If a nohz_full CPU is looping in the kernel, the scheduling-clock tick
might nevertheless remain disabled.  In !PREEMPT kernels, this can
prevent RCU's attempts to enlist the aid of that CPU's executions of
cond_resched(), which can in turn result in an arbitrarily delayed grace
period and thus an OOM.  RCU therefore needs a way to enable a holdout
nohz_full CPU's scheduler-clock interrupt.

This commit therefore provides a new TICK_DEP_BIT_RCU value which RCU can
pass to tick_dep_set_cpu() and friends to force on the scheduler-clock
interrupt for a specified CPU or task.  In some cases, rcutorture needs
to turn on the scheduler-clock tick, so this commit also exports the
relevant symbols to GPL-licensed modules.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These fix the (Intel-specific) Performance and Energy Bias Hint (EPB)
  handling and expose it to user space via sysfs, fix and clean up
  several cpufreq drivers, add support for two new chips to the qoriq
  cpufreq driver, fix, simplify and clean up the cpufreq core and the
  schedutil governor, add support for "CPU" domains to the generic power
  domains (genpd) framework and provide low-level PSCI firmware support
  for that feature, fix the exynos cpuidle driver and fix a couple of
  issues in the devfreq subsystem and clean it up.

  Specifics:

   - Fix the handling of Performance and Energy Bias Hint (EPB) on Intel
     processors and expose it to user space via sysfs to avoid having to
     access it through the generic MSR I/F (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Improve the handling of global turbo changes made by the platform
     firmware in the intel_pstate driver (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Convert some slow-path static_cpu_has() callers to boot_cpu_has()
     in cpufreq (Borislav Petkov).

   - Fix the frequency calculation loop in the armada-37xx cpufreq
     driver (Gregory CLEMENT).

   - Fix possible object reference leaks in multuple cpufreq drivers
     (Wen Yang).

   - Fix kerneldoc comment in the centrino cpufreq driver (dongjian).

   - Clean up the ACPI and maple cpufreq drivers (Viresh Kumar, Mohan
     Kumar).

   - Add support for lx2160a and ls1028a to the qoriq cpufreq driver
     (Vabhav Sharma, Yuantian Tang).

   - Fix kobject memory leak in the cpufreq core (Viresh Kumar).

   - Simplify the IOwait boosting in the schedutil cpufreq governor and
     rework the TSC cpufreq notifier on x86 (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Clean up the cpufreq core and statistics code (Yue Hu, Kyle Lin).

   - Improve the cpufreq documentation, add SPDX license tags to some PM
     documentation files and unify copyright notices in them (Rafael
     Wysocki).

   - Add support for "CPU" domains to the generic power domains (genpd)
     framework and provide low-level PSCI firmware support for that
     feature (Ulf Hansson).

   - Rearrange the PSCI firmware support code and add support for
     SYSTEM_RESET2 to it (Ulf Hansson, Sudeep Holla).

   - Improve genpd support for devices in multiple power domains (Ulf
     Hansson).

   - Unify target residency for the AFTR and coupled AFTR states in the
     exynos cpuidle driver (Marek Szyprowski).

   - Introduce new helper routine in the operating performance points
     (OPP) framework (Andrew-sh.Cheng).

   - Add support for passing on-die termination (ODT) and auto power
     down parameters from the kernel to Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A) to the
     rk3399_dmc devfreq driver (Enric Balletbo i Serra).

   - Add tracing to devfreq (Lukasz Luba).

   - Make the exynos-bus devfreq driver suspend all devices on system
     shutdown (Marek Szyprowski).

   - Fix a few minor issues in the devfreq subsystem and clean it up
     somewhat (Enric Balletbo i Serra, MyungJoo Ham, Rob Herring,
     Saravana Kannan, Yangtao Li).

   - Improve system wakeup diagnostics (Stephen Boyd).

   - Rework filesystem sync messages emitted during system suspend and
     hibernation (Harry Pan)"
