commit e3703f8cdfcf39c25c4338c3ad8e68891cca3731 upstream.

Drew Richardson reported that he could make the kernel go *boom* when hotplugging
while having perf events active.

It turned out that when you have a group event, the code in
__perf_event_exit_context() fails to remove the group siblings from
the context.

We then proceed with destroying and freeing the event, and when you
re-plug the CPU and try and add another event to that CPU, things go
*boom* because you've still got dead entries there.

commit 5bdfff96c69a4d5ab9c49e60abf9e070ecd2acbb upstream.

When a kworker should die, the kworkre is notified through WORKER_DIE
flag instead of kthread_should_stop().  This, IIRC, is primarily to
keep the test synchronized inside worker_pool lock.  WORKER_DIE is
first set while holding pool-&gt;lock, the lock is dropped and
kthread_stop() is called.

Unfortunately, this means that there's a slight chance that the target
kworker may see WORKER_DIE before kthread_stop() finishes and exits
and frees the target task before or during kthread_stop().

Fix it by pinning the target task before setting WORKER_DIE and
putting it after kthread_stop() is done.

tj: Improved patch description and comment.  Moved pinning above
    WORKER_DIE for better signify what it's protecting.

<title>genirq: Add missing irq_to_desc export for CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=n</title>

commit 2c45aada341121438affc4cb8d5b4cfaa2813d3d upstream.

In allmodconfig builds for sparc and any other arch which does
not set CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ, the following will be seen at modpost:

  CC [M]  lib/cpu-notifier-error-inject.o
  CC [M]  lib/pm-notifier-error-inject.o
ERROR: "irq_to_desc" [drivers/gpio/gpio-mcp23s08.ko] undefined!
make[2]: *** [__modpost] Error 1

This happens because commit 3911ff30f5 ("genirq: export
handle_edge_irq() and irq_to_desc()") added one export for it, but
there were actually two instances of it, in an if/else clause for
CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ.  Add the second one.

commit d651aa1d68a2f0a7ee65697b04c6a92f8c0a12f2 upstream.

Each sub-buffer (buffer page) has a full 64 bit timestamp. The events on
that page use a 27 bit delta against that timestamp in order to save on
bits written to the ring buffer. If the time between events is larger than
what the 27 bits can hold, a "time extend" event is added to hold the
entire 64 bit timestamp again and the events after that hold a delta from
that timestamp.

As a "time extend" is always paired with an event, it is logical to just
allocate the event with the time extend, to make things a bit more efficient.

Unfortunately, when the pairing code was written, it removed the "delta = 0"
from the first commit on a page, causing the events on the page to be
slightly skewed.

commit 80d767d770fd9c697e434fd080c2db7b5c60c6dd upstream.

When compiling for the IA-64 ski emulator, HZ is set to 32 because the
emulation is slow and we don't want to waste too many cycles processing
timers. Alpha also has an option to set HZ to 32.

This causes integer underflow in
kernel/time/jiffies.c:
kernel/time/jiffies.c:66:2: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type [-Woverflow]
  .mult  = NSEC_PER_JIFFY &lt;&lt; JIFFIES_SHIFT, /* details above */
  ^

This patch reduces the JIFFIES_SHIFT value to avoid the overflow.

<title>tick: Clear broadcast pending bit when switching to oneshot</title>

<id>urn:sha1:dbd515879a94273d4a6e1e6195d20951af2a65af</id>
<content type='text'>
commit dd5fd9b91a77b4c9c28b7ef9c181b1a875820d0a upstream.

AMD systems which use the C1E workaround in the amd_e400_idle routine
trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE in the broadcast code when onlining a CPU.

The reason is that the idle routine of those AMD systems switches the
cpu into forced broadcast mode early on before the newly brought up
CPU can switch over to high resolution / NOHZ mode. The timer related
CPU1 bringup looks like this:

  clockevent_register_device(local_apic);
  tick_setup(local_apic);
  ...
  idle()
	tick_broadcast_on_off(FORCE);
	tick_broadcast_oneshot_control(ENTER)
	  cpumask_set(cpu, broadcast_oneshot_mask);
	halt();

Now the broadcast interrupt on CPU0 sets CPU1 in the
broadcast_pending_mask and wakes CPU1. So CPU1 continues:

	local_apic_timer_interrupt()
	   tick_handle_periodic();
	   softirq()
	     tick_init_highres();
	       cpumask_clr(cpu, broadcast_oneshot_mask);

	tick_broadcast_oneshot_control(ENTER)
	   WARN_ON(cpumask_test(cpu, broadcast_pending_mask);

So while we remove CPU1 from the broadcast_oneshot_mask when we switch
over to highres mode, we do not clear the pending bit, which then
triggers the warning when we go back to idle.

The reason why this is only visible on C1E affected AMD systems is
that the other machines enter the deep sleep states via
acpi_idle/intel_idle and exit the broadcast mode before executing the
remote triggered local_apic_timer_interrupt. So the pending bit is
already cleared when the switch over to highres mode is clearing the
oneshot mask.

The solution is simple: Clear the pending bit together with the mask
bit when we switch over to highres mode.

Stanislaw came up independently with the same patch by enforcing the
C1E workaround and debugging the fallout. I picked mine, because mine
has a changelog :)

<title>timekeeping: Avoid possible deadlock from clock_was_set_delayed</title>

commit 6fdda9a9c5db367130cf32df5d6618d08b89f46a upstream.

As part of normal operaions, the hrtimer subsystem frequently calls
into the timekeeping code, creating a locking order of
  hrtimer locks -&gt; timekeeping locks

clock_was_set_delayed() was suppoed to allow us to avoid deadlocks
between the timekeeping the hrtimer subsystem, so that we could
notify the hrtimer subsytem the time had changed while holding
the timekeeping locks. This was done by scheduling delayed work
that would run later once we were out of the timekeeing code.

But unfortunately the lock chains are complex enoguh that in
scheduling delayed work, we end up eventually trying to grab
an hrtimer lock.

Sasha Levin noticed this in testing when the new seqlock lockdep
enablement triggered the following (somewhat abrieviated) message:

[  251.101967] Workqueue: events clock_was_set_work

So the best solution is to avoid calling clock_was_set_delayed() while
holding the timekeeping lock, and instead using a flag variable to
decide if we should call clock_was_set() once we've released the locks.

This works for the case here, where the do_adjtimex() was the deadlock
trigger point. Unfortuantely, in update_wall_time() we still hold
the jiffies lock, which would deadlock with the ipi triggered by
clock_was_set(), preventing us from calling it even after we drop the
timekeeping lock. So instead call clock_was_set_delayed() at that point.

commit 330a1617b0a6268d427aa5922c94d082b1d3e96d upstream.

Since 48cdc135d4840 (Implement a shadow timekeeper), we have to
call timekeeping_update() after any adjustment to the timekeeping
structure in order to make sure that any adjustments to the structure
persist.

In the timekeeping suspend path, we udpate the timekeeper
structure, so we should be sure to update the shadow-timekeeper
before releasing the timekeeping locks. Currently this isn't done.

In most cases, the next time related code to run would be
timekeeping_resume, which does update the shadow-timekeeper, but
in an abundence of caution, this patch adds the call to
timekeeping_update() in the suspend path.

commit 04005f6011e3b504cd4d791d9769f7cb9a3b2eae upstream.

A think-o in the calculation of the monotonic -&gt; tai time offset
results in CLOCK_TAI timers and nanosleeps to expire late (the
latency is ~2x the tai offset).

Fix this by adding the tai offset from the realtime offset instead
of subtracting.

commit f55c07607a38f84b5c7e6066ee1cfe433fa5643c upstream.

Since 48cdc135d4840 (Implement a shadow timekeeper), we have to
call timekeeping_update() after any adjustment to the timekeeping
structure in order to make sure that any adjustments to the structure
persist.

Unfortunately, the updates to the tai offset via adjtimex do not
trigger this update, causing adjustments to the tai offset to be
made and then over-written by the previous value at the next
update_wall_time() call.

This patch resovles the issue by calling timekeeping_update()
right after setting the tai offset.
