<content type='text'>
Simplify the scheduler by making the CONFIG_SMP=y version of
idle_thread_set_boot_cpu() unconditional.

Note that idle_thread_set_boot_cpu() is already conditional
on CONFIG_GENERIC_SMP_IDLE_THREAD, which most architectures
select unconditionally on both UP and SMP kernels.

Add a kthread_stop_put() helper that stops a thread and puts its task
struct.  Use it to replace the various instances of kthread_stop()
followed by put_task_struct().

Remove the kthread_stop_put() macro in usbip that is similar but doesn't
return the result of kthread_stop().

<title>cpu/hotplug: Add CPU state tracking and synchronization</title>
<updated>2023-05-15T11:44:55+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=6f0621238b7e7680d5e26c00aa4cd473314d05b2'/>
<id>6f0621238b7e7680d5e26c00aa4cd473314d05b2</id>
<content type='text'>
The CPU state tracking and synchronization mechanism in smpboot.c is
completely independent of the hotplug code and all logic around it is
implemented in architecture specific code.

Except for the state reporting of the AP there is absolutely nothing
architecture specific and the sychronization and decision functions can be
moved into the generic hotplug core code.

Provide an integrated variant and add the core synchronization and decision
points. This comes in two flavours:

  1) DEAD state synchronization

     Updated by the architecture code once the AP reaches the point where
     it is ready to be torn down by the control CPU, e.g. by removing power
     or clocks or tear down via the hypervisor.

     The control CPU waits for this state to be reached with a timeout. If
     the state is reached an architecture specific cleanup function is
     invoked.

  2) Full state synchronization

     This extends #1 with AP alive synchronization. This is new
     functionality, which allows to replace architecture specific wait
     mechanims, e.g. cpumasks, completely.

     It also prevents that an AP which is in a limbo state can be brought
     up again. This can happen when an AP failed to report dead state
     during a previous off-line operation.

The dead synchronization is what most architectures use. Only x86 makes a
bringup decision based on that state at the moment.

<title>smpboot: use atomic_try_cmpxchg in cpu_wait_death and cpu_report_death</title>

<id>9a15193e23b780d1da77e3db18698beb0637897d</id>
<content type='text'>
Use atomic_try_cmpxchg instead of atomic_cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old
in cpu_wait_death and cpu_report_death.  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, atomic_try_cmpxchg
implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old" when cmpxchg fails, enabling
further code simplifications.

No functional change intended.

A CPU will not show up in virtualized environment which includes an
Enclave. The VM splits its resources into a primary VM and a Enclave
VM. While the Enclave is active, the hypervisor will ignore all requests to
bring up a CPU and this CPU will remain in CPU_UP_PREPARE state.

The kernel will wait up to ten seconds for CPU to show up (do_boot_cpu())
and then rollback the hotplug state back to CPUHP_OFFLINE leaving the CPU
state in CPU_UP_PREPARE. The CPU state is set back to CPUHP_TEARDOWN_CPU
during the CPU_POST_DEAD stage.

After the Enclave VM terminates, the primary VM can bring up the CPU
again.

Allow to bring up the CPU if it is in the CPU_UP_PREPARE state.

<title>smpboot: fix duplicate and misplaced inlining directive</title>

gcc doesn't care, but clang quite reasonably pointed out that the recent
commit e9ba16e68cce ("smpboot: Mark idle_init() as __always_inlined to
work around aggressive compiler un-inlining") did some really odd
things:

    kernel/smpboot.c:50:20: warning: duplicate 'inline' declaration specifier [-Wduplicate-decl-specifier]
    static inline void __always_inline idle_init(unsigned int cpu)
                       ^

which not only has that duplicate inlining specifier, but the new
__always_inline was put in the wrong place of the function definition.

We put the storage class specifiers (ie things like "static" and
"extern") first, and the type information after that.  And while the
compiler may not care, we put the inline specifier before the types.

So it should be just

    static __always_inline void idle_init(unsigned int cpu)

instead.

things:

    kernel/smpboot.c:50:20: warning: duplicate 'inline' declaration specifier [-Wduplicate-decl-specifier]
    static inline void __always_inline idle_init(unsigned int cpu)
                       ^

which not only has that duplicate inlining specifier, but the new
__always_inline was put in the wrong place of the function definition.

We put the storage class specifiers (ie things like "static" and
"extern") first, and the type information after that.  And while the
compiler may not care, we put the inline specifier before the types.

So it should be just

    static __always_inline void idle_init(unsigned int cpu)

instead.

While this function is a static inline, and is only used once in
local scope, certain Kconfig variations may cause it to be compiled
as a standalone function:

  89231bf0 &lt;idle_init&gt;:
  89231bf0:       83 05 60 d9 45 89 01    addl   $0x1,0x8945d960
  89231bf7:       55                      push   %ebp

Resulting in this build failure:

  WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text.unlikely+0x7fd5): Section mismatch in reference from the function idle_init() to the function .init.text:fork_idle()
  The function idle_init() references
  the function __init fork_idle().
  This is often because idle_init lacks a __init
  annotation or the annotation of fork_idle is wrong.
  ERROR: modpost: Section mismatches detected.

Certain USBSAN options x86-32 builds with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y
seem to be causing this.

So mark idle_init() as __always_inline to work around this compiler
bug/feature.
