hrtimers: Push pending hrtimers away from outgoing CPU earlier

2023-12-13T17:39:03Z

[ Upstream commit 5c0930ccaad5a74d74e8b18b648c5eb21ed2fe94 ] 2b8272ff4a70 ("cpu/hotplug: Prevent self deadlock on CPU hot-unplug") solved the straight forward CPU hotplug deadlock vs. the scheduler bandwidth timer. Yu discovered a more involved variant where a task which has a bandwidth timer started on the outgoing CPU holds a lock and then gets throttled. If the lock required by one of the CPU hotplug callbacks the hotplug operation deadlocks because the unthrottling timer event is not handled on the dying CPU and can only be recovered once the control CPU reaches the hotplug state which pulls the pending hrtimers from the dead CPU. Solve this by pushing the hrtimers away from the dying CPU in the dying callbacks. Nothing can queue a hrtimer on the dying CPU at that point because all other CPUs spin in stop_machine() with interrupts disabled and once the operation is finished the CPU is marked offline.

tick/rcu: Fix false positive "softirq work is pending" messages

2023-09-13T07:42:57Z

[ Upstream commit 96c1fa04f089a7e977a44e4e8fdc92e81be20bef ] In commit 0345691b24c0 ("tick/rcu: Stop allowing RCU_SOFTIRQ in idle") the new function report_idle_softirq() was created by breaking code out of the existing can_stop_idle_tick() for kernels v5.18 and newer. In doing so, the code essentially went from a one conditional: if (a && b && c) warn(); to a three conditional: if (!a) return; if (!b) return; if (!c) return; warn(); But that conversion got the condition for the RT specific local_bh_blocked() wrong. The original condition was: !local_bh_blocked() but the conversion failed to negate it so it ended up as: if (!local_bh_blocked()) return false; This issue lay dormant until another fixup for the same commit was added in commit a7e282c77785 ("tick/rcu: Fix bogus ratelimit condition"). This commit realized the ratelimit was essentially set to zero instead of ten, and hence *no* softirq pending messages would ever be issued. Once this commit was backported via linux-stable, both the v6.1 and v6.4 preempt-rt kernels started printing out 10 instances of this at boot: NOHZ tick-stop error: local softirq work is pending, handler #80!!! Remove the negation and return when local_bh_blocked() evaluates to true to bring the correct behaviour back.

posix-timers: Prevent RT livelock in itimer_delete()

2023-07-19T14:20:59Z

[ Upstream commit 9d9e522010eb5685d8b53e8a24320653d9d4cbbf ] itimer_delete() has a retry loop when the timer is concurrently expired. On non-RT kernels this just spin-waits until the timer callback has completed, except for posix CPU timers which have HAVE_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK enabled. In that case and on RT kernels the existing task could live lock when preempting the task which does the timer delivery. Replace spin_unlock() with an invocation of timer_wait_running() to handle it the same way as the other retry loops in the posix timer code.

tick/common: Align tick period during sched_timer setup

2023-06-28T09:12:18Z

commit 13bb06f8dd42071cb9a49f6e21099eea05d4b856 upstream. The tick period is aligned very early while the first clock_event_device is registered. At that point the system runs in periodic mode and switches later to one-shot mode if possible. The next wake-up event is programmed based on the aligned value (tick_next_period) but the delta value, that is used to program the clock_event_device, is computed based on ktime_get(). With the subtracted offset, the device fires earlier than the exact time frame. With a large enough offset the system programs the timer for the next wake-up and the remaining time left is too small to make any boot progress. The system hangs. Move the alignment later to the setup of tick_sched timer. At this point the system switches to oneshot mode and a high resolution clocksource is available. At this point it is safe to align tick_next_period because ktime_get() will now return accurate (not jiffies based) time. [bigeasy: Patch description + testing].

tick/broadcast: Make broadcast device replacement work correctly

2023-05-24T16:32:31Z

[ Upstream commit f9d36cf445ffff0b913ba187a3eff78028f9b1fb ] When a tick broadcast clockevent device is initialized for one shot mode then tick_broadcast_setup_oneshot() OR's the periodic broadcast mode cpumask into the oneshot broadcast cpumask. This is required when switching from periodic broadcast mode to oneshot broadcast mode to ensure that CPUs which are waiting for periodic broadcast are woken up on the next tick. But it is subtly broken, when an active broadcast device is replaced and the system is already in oneshot (NOHZ/HIGHRES) mode. Victor observed this and debugged the issue. Then the OR of the periodic broadcast CPU mask is wrong as the periodic cpumask bits are sticky after tick_broadcast_enable() set it for a CPU unless explicitly cleared via tick_broadcast_disable(). That means that this sets all other CPUs which have tick broadcasting enabled at that point unconditionally in the oneshot broadcast mask. If the affected CPUs were already idle and had their bits set in the oneshot broadcast mask then this does no harm. But for non idle CPUs which were not set this corrupts their state. On their next invocation of tick_broadcast_enable() they observe the bit set, which indicates that the broadcast for the CPU is already set up. As a consequence they fail to update the broadcast event even if their earliest expiring timer is before the actually programmed broadcast event. If the programmed broadcast event is far in the future, then this can cause stalls or trigger the hung task detector. Avoid this by telling tick_broadcast_setup_oneshot() explicitly whether this is the initial switch over from periodic to oneshot broadcast which must take the periodic broadcast mask into account. In the case of initialization of a replacement device this prevents that the broadcast oneshot mask is modified. There is a second problem with broadcast device replacement in this function. The broadcast device is only armed when the previous state of the device was periodic. That is correct for the switch from periodic broadcast mode to oneshot broadcast mode as the underlying broadcast device could operate in oneshot state already due to lack of periodic state in hardware. In that case it is already armed to expire at the next tick. For the replacement case this is wrong as the device is in shutdown state. That means that any already pending broadcast event will not be armed. This went unnoticed because any CPU which goes idle will observe that the broadcast device has an expiry time of KTIME_MAX and therefore any CPUs next timer event will be earlier and cause a reprogramming of the broadcast device. But that does not guarantee that the events of the CPUs which were already in idle are delivered on time. Fix this by arming the newly installed device for an immediate event which will reevaluate the per CPU expiry times and reprogram the broadcast device accordingly. This is simpler than caching the last expiry time in yet another place or saving it before the device exchange and handing it down to the setup function. Replacement of broadcast devices is not a frequent operation and usually happens once somewhere late in the boot process.

tick/common: Align tick period with the HZ tick.

2023-05-11T14:03:16Z

[ Upstream commit e9523a0d81899361214d118ad60ef76f0e92f71d ] 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.

tick/nohz: Fix cpu_is_hotpluggable() by checking with nohz subsystem

2023-05-11T14:03:01Z

commit 58d7668242647e661a20efe065519abd6454287e upstream. 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.
