nohz: Wake up full dynticks CPUs when a timer gets enqueued
Wake up a CPU when a timer list timer is enqueued there and
the target is part of the full dynticks range. Sending an IPI
to it makes it reconsidering the next timer to program on top
of recent updates.
This may later be improved by checking if the tick is really
stopped on the target. This would need some careful
synchronization though. So deal with such optimization later
and start simple.

nohz: Assign timekeeping duty to a CPU outside the full dynticks range
This way the full nohz CPUs can safely run with the tick
stopped with a guarantee that somebody else is taking
care of the jiffies and GTOD progression.
Once the duty is attributed to a CPU, it won't change. Also that
CPU can't enter into dyntick idle mode or be hot unplugged.
This may later be improved from a power consumption POV. At
least we should be able to share the duty amongst all CPUs
outside the full dynticks range. Then the duty could even be
shared with full dynticks CPUs when those can't stop their
tick for any reason.
But let's start with that very simple approach first.

[fix have_nohz_full_mask offcase] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
For extreme usecases such as Real Time or HPC, having
the ability to shutdown the tick when a single task runs
on a CPU is a desired feature:
* Reducing the amount of interrupts improves throughput
for CPU-bound tasks. The CPU is less distracted from its
real job, from an execution time and from the cache point
of views.
* This also improve latency response as we have less critical
sections.
Start with introducing a very simple interface to define
full dynticks CPU: use a boot time option defined cpumask
through the "nohz_extended=" kernel parameter. CPUs that
are part of this range will have their tick shutdown
whenever possible: provided they run a single task and
they don't do kernel activity that require the periodic
tick. These details will be later documented in
Documentation/*
An online CPU must be kept outside this range to handle the
timekeeping.

Merge branch 'sched/core' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks into sched/core
Pull CPU runtime stats/accounting fixes from Frederic Weisbecker:
" Some users are complaining that their threadgroup's runtime accounting
freezes after a week or so of intense cpu-bound workload. This set tries
to fix the issue by reducing the risk of multiplication overflow in the
cputime scaling code. "
Stanislaw Gruszka further explained the historic context and impact of the
bug:
" Commit 0cf55e1ec08bb5a22e068309e2d8ba1180ab4239 start to use scalling
for whole thread group, so increase chances of hitting multiplication
overflow, depending on how many CPUs are on the system.
For HZ 100 it will be 497 days for HZ 1000 it will be 49 days.
Bug affect only users, who run CPU intensive application for that
long period. Also they have to be interested on utime,stime values,
as bug has no other visible effect as making those values incorrect. "
Some users have reported that after running a process with
hundreds of threads on intensive CPU-bound loads, the cputime
of the group started to freeze after a few days.
This is due to how we scale the tick-based cputime against
the scheduler precise execution time value.
We add the values of all threads in the group and we multiply
that against the sum of the scheduler exec runtime of the whole
group.
This easily overflows after a few days/weeks of execution.
A proposed solution to solve this was to compute that multiplication
on stime instead of utime: 62188451f0d63add7ad0cd2a1ae269d600c1663d
("cputime: Avoid multiplication overflow on utime scaling")
The rationale behind that was that it's easy for a thread to
spend most of its time in userspace under intensive CPU-bound workload
but it's much harder to do CPU-bound intensive long run in the kernel.
This postulate got defeated when a user recently reported he was still
seeing cputime freezes after the above patch. The workload that
triggers this issue relates to intensive networking workloads where
most of the cputime is consumed in the kernel.
To reduce much more the opportunities for multiplication overflow,
lets reduce the multiplication factors to the remainders of the division
between sched exec runtime and cputime. Assuming the difference between
these shouldn't ever be that large, it could work on many situations.
This gets the same results as in the upstream scaling code except for
a small difference: the upstream code always rounds the results to
the nearest integer not greater to what would be the precise result.
The new code rounds to the nearest integer either greater or not
greater. In practice this difference probably shouldn't matter but
it's worth mentioning.
If this solution appears not to be enough in the end, we'll
need to partly revert back to the behaviour prior to commit 0cf55e1ec08bb5a22e068309e2d8ba1180ab4239
("sched, cputime: Introduce thread_group_times()")
Back then, the scaling was done on exit() time before adding the cputime
of an exiting thread to the signal struct. And then we'll need to
scale one-by-one the live threads cputime in thread_group_cputime(). The
drawback may be a slightly slower code on exit time.

cputime: Dynamically scale cputime for full dynticks accounting
The full dynticks cputime accounting is able to account either
using the tick or the context tracking subsystem. This way
the housekeeping CPU can keep the low overhead tick based
solution.
This latter mode has a low jiffies resolution granularity and
need to be scaled against CFS precise runtime accounting to
improve its result. We are doing this for CONFIG_TICK_CPU_ACCOUNTING,
now we also need to expand it to full dynticks accounting dynamic
off-case as well.

context_tracking: Restore preempted context state after preempt_schedule_irq()
From the context tracking POV, preempt_schedule_irq() behaves pretty much
like an exception: It can be called anytime and schedule another task.
But currently it doesn't restore the context tracking state of the preempted
code on preempt_schedule_irq() return.
As a result, if preempt_schedule_irq() is called in the tiny frame between
user_enter() and the actual return to userspace, we resume userspace with
the wrong context tracking state.
Fix this by using exception_enter/exit() which are a perfect fit for this
kind of issue.

context_tracking: Restore correct previous context state on exception exit
On exception exit, we restore the previous context tracking state based on
the regs of the interrupted frame. Iff that frame is in user mode as
stated by user_mode() helper, we restore the context tracking user mode.
However there is a tiny chunck of low level arch code after we pass through
user_enter() and until the CPU eventually resumes userspace.
If an exception happens in this tiny area, exception_enter() correctly
exits the context tracking user mode but exception_exit() won't restore
it because of the value returned by user_mode(regs).
As a result we may return to userspace with the wrong context tracking
state.
To fix this, change exception_enter() to return the context tracking state
prior to its call and pass this saved state to exception_exit(). This restores
the real context tracking state of the interrupted frame.
(May be this patch was suggested to me, I don't recall exactly. If so,
sorry for the missing credit).

context_tracking: Move exception handling to generic code

Josef has another pass at fsync performance. The big change here is
to combine waiting for metadata with waiting for data, which is a big
latency win. It is also step one toward using atomics from the

Mark Fasheh has a new way to use btrfs send/receive to send only the

sets using the PTRACE_GETREGSET and PTRACE_SETREGSET operations. The
details of the internal context structures is abstracted into user API
structures to both ease use and allow flexibility to change the internal
context layouts. Copyin and copyout functions for these register sets
are exposed to allow signal handling code to use them to copy to and
from the signal context.
struct user_gp_regs (NT_PRSTATUS) provides access to the core general
purpose register context.
struct user_cb_regs (NT_METAG_CBUF) provides access to the TXCATCH*
registers which contains information abuot a memory fault, unaligned
access error or watchpoint. This can be modified to alter the way the
fault is replayed on resume ("catch replay"), or to prevent the replay
taking place.
struct user_rp_state (NT_METAG_RPIPE) provides access to the state of
the Meta read pipeline which can be used to hide memory latencies in
hand optimised data loops.
Extended DSP register state, DSP RAM, and hardware breakpoint registers
aren't yet exposed through ptrace.
