<id>urn:sha1:5543766d4b730cfb2885ee678c02688d8b420f1c</id>
<content type='text'>
commit c2ddeb29612f7ca84ed10c6d4f3ac99705135447 upstream.

There is a problem when a driver requests a shared interrupt line to run a
threaded handler on it without IRQF_ONESHOT set if that flag has been set
already for the IRQ in question by somebody else.  Namely, the request
fails which usually leads to a probe failure even though the driver might
have worked just fine with IRQF_ONESHOT, but it does not want to use it by
default.  Currently, the only way to handle this is to try to request the
IRQ without IRQF_ONESHOT, but with IRQF_PROBE_SHARED set and if this fails,
try again with IRQF_ONESHOT set.  However, this is a bit cumbersome and not
very clean.

When commit 7a36b901a6eb ("ACPI: OSL: Use a threaded interrupt handler for
SCI") switched the ACPI subsystem over to using a threaded interrupt
handler for the SCI, it had to use IRQF_ONESHOT for it because that's
required due to the way the SCI handler works (it needs to walk all of the
enabled GPEs before the interrupt line can be unmasked). The SCI interrupt
line is not shared with other users very often due to the SCI handling
overhead, but on sone systems it is shared and when the other user of it
attempts to install a threaded handler, a flags mismatch related to
IRQF_ONESHOT may occur.

As it turned out, that happened to the pinctrl-amd driver and so commit
4451e8e8415e ("pinctrl: amd: Add IRQF_ONESHOT to the interrupt request")
attempted to address the issue by adding IRQF_ONESHOT to the interrupt
flags in that driver, but this is now causing an IRQF_ONESHOT-related
mismatch to occur on another system which cannot boot as a result of it.

Clearly, pinctrl-amd can work with IRQF_ONESHOT if need be, but it should
not set that flag by default, so it needs a way to indicate that to the
interrupt subsystem.

To that end, introdcuce a new interrupt flag, IRQF_COND_ONESHOT, which will
only have effect when the IRQ line is shared and IRQF_ONESHOT has been set
for it already, in which case it will be promoted to the latter.

This is sufficient for drivers sharing the interrupt line with the SCI as
it is requested by the ACPI subsystem before any drivers are probed, so
they will always see IRQF_ONESHOT set for the interrupt in question.

Pull RCU updates from Frederic Weisbecker:

 - RCU torture, locktorture and generic torture infrastructure updates
   that include various fixes, cleanups and consolidations.

   Among the user visible things, ftrace dumps can now be found into
   their own file, and module parameters get better documented and
   reported on dumps.

 - Generic and misc fixes all over the place. Some highlights:

     * Hotplug handling has seen some light cleanups and comments

     * An RCU barrier can now be triggered through sysfs to serialize
       memory stress testing and avoid OOM

     * Object information is now dumped in case of invalid callback
       invocation

     * Also various SRCU issues, too hard to trigger to deserve urgent
       pull requests, have been fixed

 - RCU documentation updates

 - RCU reference scalability test minor fixes and doc improvements.

 - RCU tasks minor fixes

 - Stall detection updates. Introduce RCU CPU Stall notifiers that
   allows a subsystem to provide informations to help debugging. Also
   cure some false positive stalls.

rcu_report_dead() and rcutree_migrate_callbacks() have their headers in
rcupdate.h while those are pure rcutree calls, like the other CPU-hotplug
functions.

Also rcu_cpu_starting() and rcu_report_dead() have different naming
conventions while they mirror each other's effects.

Fix the headers and propose a naming that relates both functions and
aligns with the prefix of other rcutree CPU-hotplug functions.

<title>timers: Tag (hr)timer softirq as hotplug safe</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1a6a464774947920dcedcf7409be62495c7cedd0</id>
<content type='text'>
Specific stress involving frequent CPU-hotplug operations, such as
running rcutorture for example, may trigger the following message:

  NOHZ tick-stop error: local softirq work is pending, handler #02!!!"

This happens in the CPU-down hotplug process, after
CPUHP_AP_SMPBOOT_THREADS whose teardown callback parks ksoftirqd, and
before the target CPU shuts down through CPUHP_AP_IDLE_DEAD. In this
fragile intermediate state, softirqs waiting for threaded handling may be
forever ignored and eventually reported by the idle task as in the above
example.

However some vectors are known to be safe as long as the corresponding
subsystems have teardown callbacks handling the migration of their
events. The above error message reports pending timers softirq although
this vector can be considered as hotplug safe because the
CPUHP_TIMERS_PREPARE teardown callback performs the necessary migration
of timers after the death of the CPU. Hrtimers also have a similar
hotplug handling.

Therefore this error message, as far as (hr-)timers are concerned, can
be considered spurious and the relevant softirq vectors can be marked as
hotplug safe.

flush_smp_call_function_queue() invokes do_softirq() which is not available
on PREEMPT_RT. flush_smp_call_function_queue() is invoked from the idle
task and the migration task with preemption or interrupts disabled.

So RT kernels cannot process soft interrupts in that context as that has to
acquire 'sleeping spinlocks' which is not possible with preemption or
interrupts disabled and forbidden from the idle task anyway.

The currently known SMP function call which raises a soft interrupt is in
the block layer, but this functionality is not enabled on RT kernels due to
latency and performance reasons.

RT could wake up ksoftirqd unconditionally, but this wants to be avoided if
there were soft interrupts pending already when this is invoked in the
context of the migration task. The migration task might have preempted a
threaded interrupt handler which raised a soft interrupt, but did not reach
the local_bh_enable() to process it. The "running" ksoftirqd might prevent
the handling in the interrupt thread context which is causing latency
issues.

Add a new function which handles this case explicitely for RT and falls
back to do_softirq() on !RT kernels. In the RT case this warns when one of
the flushed SMP function calls raised a soft interrupt so this can be
investigated.

<title>lib/irq_poll: Declare IRQ_POLL softirq vector as ksoftirqd-parking safe</title>

The following warning may appear while setting a CPU down:

	NOHZ tick-stop error: Non-RCU local softirq work is pending, handler #20!!!

The IRQ_POLL_SOFTIRQ vector can be raised during the hotplug cpu_down()
path after ksoftirqd is parked and before the CPU actually dies. However
this is handled afterward at the CPUHP_IRQ_POLL_DEAD stage where the
queue gets migrated.

Hence this warning can be considered spurious and the vector can join
the "hotplug-safe" list.

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.

<title>genirq: Provide new interfaces for affinity hints</title>

<id>urn:sha1:65c7cdedeb3026fabcc967a7aae2f755ad4d0783</id>
<content type='text'>
The discussion about removing the side effect of irq_set_affinity_hint() of
actually applying the cpumask (if not NULL) as affinity to the interrupt,
unearthed a few unpleasantries:

  1) The modular perf drivers rely on the current behaviour for the very
     wrong reasons.

  2) While none of the other drivers prevents user space from changing
     the affinity, a cursorily inspection shows that there are at least
     expectations in some drivers.

#1 needs to be cleaned up anyway, so that's not a problem

#2 might result in subtle regressions especially when irqbalanced (which
   nowadays ignores the affinity hint) is disabled.

Provide new interfaces:

  irq_update_affinity_hint()  - Only sets the affinity hint pointer
  irq_set_affinity_and_hint() - Set the pointer and apply the affinity to
                                the interrupt

Make irq_set_affinity_hint() a wrapper around irq_apply_affinity_hint() and
document it to be phased out.
