workqueue: Implement BH workqueues to eventually replace tasklets The only generic interface to execute asynchronously in the BH context is tasklet; however, it's marked deprecated and has some design flaws such as the execution code accessing the tasklet item after the execution is complete which can lead to subtle use-after-free in certain usage scenarios and less-developed flush and cancel mechanisms. This patch implements BH workqueues which share the same semantics and features of regular workqueues but execute their work items in the softirq context. As there is always only one BH execution context per CPU, none of the concurrency management mechanisms applies and a BH workqueue can be thought of as a convenience wrapper around softirq. Except for the inability to sleep while executing and lack of max_active adjustments, BH workqueues and work items should behave the same as regular workqueues and work items. Currently, the execution is hooked to tasklet[_hi]. However, the goal is to convert all tasklet users over to BH workqueues. Once the conversion is complete, tasklet can be removed and BH workqueues can directly take over the tasklet softirqs. system_bh[_highpri]_wq are added. As queue-wide flushing doesn't exist in tasklet, all existing tasklet users should be able to use the system BH workqueues without creating their own workqueues. v3: - Add missing interrupt.h include. v2: - Instead of using tasklets, hook directly into its softirq action functions - tasklet[_hi]_action(). This is slightly cheaper and closer to the eventual code structure we want to arrive at. Suggested by Lai. - Lai also pointed out several places which need NULL worker->task handling or can use clarification. Updated.

/*
- No shared variables, all the data are CPU local.
- If a softirq needs serialization, let it serialize itself
by its own spinlocks.
- Even if softirq is serialized, only local cpu is marked for
execution. Hence, we get something sort of weak cpu binding.
Though it is still not clear, will it result in better locality
or will not.
Examples:
- NET RX softirq. It is multithreaded and does not require
any global serialization.
- NET TX softirq. It kicks software netdevice queues, hence
it is logically serialized per device, but this serialization
is invisible to common code.
- Tasklets: serialized wrt itself.

rcu: Use softirq to address performance regression Commit a26ac2455ffcf3(rcu: move TREE_RCU from softirq to kthread) introduced performance regression. In an AIM7 test, this commit degraded performance by about 40%. The commit runs rcu callbacks in a kthread instead of softirq. We observed high rate of context switch which is caused by this. Out test system has 64 CPUs and HZ is 1000, so we saw more than 64k context switch per second which is caused by RCU's per-CPU kthread. A trace showed that most of the time the RCU per-CPU kthread doesn't actually handle any callbacks, but instead just does a very small amount of work handling grace periods. This means that RCU's per-CPU kthreads are making the scheduler do quite a bit of work in order to allow a very small amount of RCU-related processing to be done. Alex Shi's analysis determined that this slowdown is due to lock contention within the scheduler. Unfortunately, as Peter Zijlstra points out, the scheduler's real-time semantics require global action, which means that this contention is inherent in real-time scheduling. (Yes, perhaps someone will come up with a workaround -- otherwise, -rt is not going to do well on large SMP systems -- but this patch will work around this issue in the meantime. And "the meantime" might well be forever.) This patch therefore re-introduces softirq processing to RCU, but only for core RCU work. RCU callbacks are still executed in kthread context, so that only a small amount of RCU work runs in softirq context in the common case. This should minimize ksoftirqd execution, allowing us to skip boosting of ksoftirqd for CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y kernels.

Revert "softirq: Let ksoftirqd do its job" This reverts the following commits: 4cd13c21b207 ("softirq: Let ksoftirqd do its job") 3c53776e29f8 ("Mark HI and TASKLET softirq synchronous") 1342d8080f61 ("softirq: Don't skip softirq execution when softirq thread is parking") in a single change to avoid known bad intermediate states introduced by a patch series reverting them individually. Due to the mentioned commit, when the ksoftirqd threads take charge of softirq processing, the system can experience high latencies. In the past a few workarounds have been implemented for specific side-effects of the initial ksoftirqd enforcement commit: commit 1ff688209e2e ("watchdog: core: make sure the watchdog_worker is not deferred") commit 8d5755b3f77b ("watchdog: softdog: fire watchdog even if softirqs do not get to run") commit 217f69743681 ("net: busy-poll: allow preemption in sk_busy_loop()") commit 3c53776e29f8 ("Mark HI and TASKLET softirq synchronous") But the latency problem still exists in real-life workloads, see the link below. The reverted commit intended to solve a live-lock scenario that can now be addressed with the NAPI threaded mode, introduced with commit 29863d41bb6e ("net: implement threaded-able napi poll loop support"), which is nowadays in a pretty stable status. While a complete solution to put softirq processing under nice resource control would be preferable, that has proven to be a very hard task. In the short term, remove the main pain point, and also simplify a bit the current softirq implementation.

smp: Make softirq handling RT safe in flush_smp_call_function_queue() 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.

[PATCH] Reducing local_bh_enable/disable overhead in irqtrace The recent changes from irqtrace feature has added overheads to local_bh_disable and local_bh_enable that reduces UDP performance across x86_64 and IA64, even though IA64 does not support the irqtrace feature. Patch in question is [PATCH]lockdep: irqtrace subsystem, core http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=c ommit;h=de30a2b355ea85350ca2f58f3b9bf4e5bc007986 Prior to this patch, local_bh_disable was a short macro. Now it is a function which calls __local_bh_disable with added irq flags save and restore. The irq flags save and restore were also added to local_bh_enable, probably for injecting the trace irqs code. This overhead is on the generic code path across all architectures. On a IA_64 test machine (Itanium-2 1.6 GHz) running a benchmark like netperf's UDP streaming test, the added overhead results in a drop of 3% in throughput, as udp_sendmsg calls the local_bh_enable/disable several times. Other workloads that have heavy usages of local_bh_enable/disable could also be affected. The patch ideally should not have affected IA-64 performance as it does not have IRQ tracing support. A significant portion of the overhead is in the added irq flags save and restore, which I think is not needed if IRQ tracing is unused. A suggested patch is attached below that recovers the lost performance. However, the "ifdef"s in the patch are a bit ugly.

[PATCH] Reducing local_bh_enable/disable overhead in irqtrace The recent changes from irqtrace feature has added overheads to local_bh_disable and local_bh_enable that reduces UDP performance across x86_64 and IA64, even though IA64 does not support the irqtrace feature. Patch in question is [PATCH]lockdep: irqtrace subsystem, core http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=c ommit;h=de30a2b355ea85350ca2f58f3b9bf4e5bc007986 Prior to this patch, local_bh_disable was a short macro. Now it is a function which calls __local_bh_disable with added irq flags save and restore. The irq flags save and restore were also added to local_bh_enable, probably for injecting the trace irqs code. This overhead is on the generic code path across all architectures. On a IA_64 test machine (Itanium-2 1.6 GHz) running a benchmark like netperf's UDP streaming test, the added overhead results in a drop of 3% in throughput, as udp_sendmsg calls the local_bh_enable/disable several times. Other workloads that have heavy usages of local_bh_enable/disable could also be affected. The patch ideally should not have affected IA-64 performance as it does not have IRQ tracing support. A significant portion of the overhead is in the added irq flags save and restore, which I think is not needed if IRQ tracing is unused. A suggested patch is attached below that recovers the lost performance. However, the "ifdef"s in the patch are a bit ugly.

Revert "softirq: Let ksoftirqd do its job" This reverts the following commits: 4cd13c21b207 ("softirq: Let ksoftirqd do its job") 3c53776e29f8 ("Mark HI and TASKLET softirq synchronous") 1342d8080f61 ("softirq: Don't skip softirq execution when softirq thread is parking") in a single change to avoid known bad intermediate states introduced by a patch series reverting them individually. Due to the mentioned commit, when the ksoftirqd threads take charge of softirq processing, the system can experience high latencies. In the past a few workarounds have been implemented for specific side-effects of the initial ksoftirqd enforcement commit: commit 1ff688209e2e ("watchdog: core: make sure the watchdog_worker is not deferred") commit 8d5755b3f77b ("watchdog: softdog: fire watchdog even if softirqs do not get to run") commit 217f69743681 ("net: busy-poll: allow preemption in sk_busy_loop()") commit 3c53776e29f8 ("Mark HI and TASKLET softirq synchronous") But the latency problem still exists in real-life workloads, see the link below. The reverted commit intended to solve a live-lock scenario that can now be addressed with the NAPI threaded mode, introduced with commit 29863d41bb6e ("net: implement threaded-able napi poll loop support"), which is nowadays in a pretty stable status. While a complete solution to put softirq processing under nice resource control would be preferable, that has proven to be a very hard task. In the short term, remove the main pain point, and also simplify a bit the current softirq implementation.

Fix lockup related to stop_machine being stuck in __do_softirq. The stop machine logic can lock up if all but one of the migration threads make it through the disable-irq step and the one remaining thread gets stuck in __do_softirq. The reason __do_softirq can hang is that it has a bail-out based on jiffies timeout, but in the lockup case, jiffies itself is not incremented. To work around this, re-add the max_restart counter in __do_irq and stop processing irqs after 10 restarts. Thanks to Tejun Heo and Rusty Russell and others for helping me track this down. This was introduced in 3.9 by commit c10d73671ad3 ("softirq: reduce latencies"). It may be worth looking into ath9k to see if it has issues with its irq handler at a later date.

softirq: reduce latencies In various network workloads, __do_softirq() latencies can be up to 20 ms if HZ=1000, and 200 ms if HZ=100. This is because we iterate 10 times in the softirq dispatcher, and some actions can consume a lot of cycles. This patch changes the fallback to ksoftirqd condition to : - A time limit of 2 ms. - need_resched() being set on current task When one of this condition is met, we wakeup ksoftirqd for further softirq processing if we still have pending softirqs. Using need_resched() as the only condition can trigger RCU stalls, as we can keep BH disabled for too long. I ran several benchmarks and got no significant difference in throughput, but a very significant reduction of latencies (one order of magnitude) : In following bench, 200 antagonist "netperf -t TCP_RR" are started in background, using all available cpus. Then we start one "netperf -t TCP_RR", bound to the cpu handling the NIC IRQ (hard+soft) Before patch : # netperf -H 7.7.7.84 -t TCP_RR -T2,2 -- -k RT_LATENCY,MIN_LATENCY,MAX_LATENCY,P50_LATENCY,P90_LATENCY,P99_LATENCY,MEAN_LATENCY,STDDEV_LATENCY MIGRATED TCP REQUEST/RESPONSE TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 7.7.7.84 () port 0 AF_INET : first burst 0 : cpu bind RT_LATENCY=550110.424 MIN_LATENCY=146858 MAX_LATENCY=997109 P50_LATENCY=305000 P90_LATENCY=550000 P99_LATENCY=710000 MEAN_LATENCY=376989.12 STDDEV_LATENCY=184046.92 After patch : # netperf -H 7.7.7.84 -t TCP_RR -T2,2 -- -k RT_LATENCY,MIN_LATENCY,MAX_LATENCY,P50_LATENCY,P90_LATENCY,P99_LATENCY,MEAN_LATENCY,STDDEV_LATENCY MIGRATED TCP REQUEST/RESPONSE TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 7.7.7.84 () port 0 AF_INET : first burst 0 : cpu bind RT_LATENCY=40545.492 MIN_LATENCY=9834 MAX_LATENCY=78366 P50_LATENCY=33583 P90_LATENCY=59000 P99_LATENCY=69000 MEAN_LATENCY=38364.67 STDDEV_LATENCY=12865.26 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Cc: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Cc: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

softirq: reduce latencies In various network workloads, __do_softirq() latencies can be up to 20 ms if HZ=1000, and 200 ms if HZ=100. This is because we iterate 10 times in the softirq dispatcher, and some actions can consume a lot of cycles. This patch changes the fallback to ksoftirqd condition to : - A time limit of 2 ms. - need_resched() being set on current task When one of this condition is met, we wakeup ksoftirqd for further softirq processing if we still have pending softirqs. Using need_resched() as the only condition can trigger RCU stalls, as we can keep BH disabled for too long. I ran several benchmarks and got no significant difference in throughput, but a very significant reduction of latencies (one order of magnitude) : In following bench, 200 antagonist "netperf -t TCP_RR" are started in background, using all available cpus. Then we start one "netperf -t TCP_RR", bound to the cpu handling the NIC IRQ (hard+soft) Before patch : # netperf -H 7.7.7.84 -t TCP_RR -T2,2 -- -k RT_LATENCY,MIN_LATENCY,MAX_LATENCY,P50_LATENCY,P90_LATENCY,P99_LATENCY,MEAN_LATENCY,STDDEV_LATENCY MIGRATED TCP REQUEST/RESPONSE TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 7.7.7.84 () port 0 AF_INET : first burst 0 : cpu bind RT_LATENCY=550110.424 MIN_LATENCY=146858 MAX_LATENCY=997109 P50_LATENCY=305000 P90_LATENCY=550000 P99_LATENCY=710000 MEAN_LATENCY=376989.12 STDDEV_LATENCY=184046.92 After patch : # netperf -H 7.7.7.84 -t TCP_RR -T2,2 -- -k RT_LATENCY,MIN_LATENCY,MAX_LATENCY,P50_LATENCY,P90_LATENCY,P99_LATENCY,MEAN_LATENCY,STDDEV_LATENCY MIGRATED TCP REQUEST/RESPONSE TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 7.7.7.84 () port 0 AF_INET : first burst 0 : cpu bind RT_LATENCY=40545.492 MIN_LATENCY=9834 MAX_LATENCY=78366 P50_LATENCY=33583 P90_LATENCY=59000 P99_LATENCY=69000 MEAN_LATENCY=38364.67 STDDEV_LATENCY=12865.26 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Cc: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Cc: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

mm: allow PF_MEMALLOC from softirq context This is needed to allow network softirq packet processing to make use of PF_MEMALLOC. Currently softirq context cannot use PF_MEMALLOC due to it not being associated with a task, and therefore not having task flags to fiddle with - thus the gfp to alloc flag mapping ignores the task flags when in interrupts (hard or soft) context. Allowing softirqs to make use of PF_MEMALLOC therefore requires some trickery. This patch borrows the task flags from whatever process happens to be preempted by the softirq. It then modifies the gfp to alloc flags mapping to not exclude task flags in softirq context, and modify the softirq code to save, clear and restore the PF_MEMALLOC flag. The save and clear, ensures the preempted task's PF_MEMALLOC flag doesn't leak into the softirq. The restore ensures a softirq's PF_MEMALLOC flag cannot leak back into the preempted process. This should be safe due to the following reasons Softirqs can run on multiple CPUs sure but the same task should not be executing the same softirq code. Neither should the softirq handler be preempted by any other softirq handler so the flags should not leak to an unrelated softirq. Softirqs re-enable hardware interrupts in __do_softirq() so can be preempted by hardware interrupts so PF_MEMALLOC is inherited by the hard IRQ. However, this is similar to a process in reclaim being preempted by a hardirq. While PF_MEMALLOC is set, gfp_to_alloc_flags() distinguishes between hard and soft irqs and avoids giving a hardirq the ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS flag. If the softirq is deferred to ksoftirq then its flags may be used instead of a normal tasks but as the softirq cannot be preempted, the PF_MEMALLOC flag does not leak to other code by accident.

The stop machine logic can lock up if all but one of the migration threads make it through the disable-irq step and the one remaining thread gets stuck in __do_softirq.

softirq: reduce latencies In various network workloads, __do_softirq() latencies can be up to 20 ms if HZ=1000, and 200 ms if HZ=100. This is because we iterate 10 times in the softirq dispatcher, and some actions can consume a lot of cycles. This patch changes the fallback to ksoftirqd condition to : - A time limit of 2 ms. - need_resched() being set on current task When one of this condition is met, we wakeup ksoftirqd for further softirq processing if we still have pending softirqs. Using need_resched() as the only condition can trigger RCU stalls, as we can keep BH disabled for too long. I ran several benchmarks and got no significant difference in throughput, but a very significant reduction of latencies (one order of magnitude) : In following bench, 200 antagonist "netperf -t TCP_RR" are started in background, using all available cpus. Then we start one "netperf -t TCP_RR", bound to the cpu handling the NIC IRQ (hard+soft) Before patch : # netperf -H 7.7.7.84 -t TCP_RR -T2,2 -- -k RT_LATENCY,MIN_LATENCY,MAX_LATENCY,P50_LATENCY,P90_LATENCY,P99_LATENCY,MEAN_LATENCY,STDDEV_LATENCY MIGRATED TCP REQUEST/RESPONSE TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 7.7.7.84 () port 0 AF_INET : first burst 0 : cpu bind RT_LATENCY=550110.424 MIN_LATENCY=146858 MAX_LATENCY=997109 P50_LATENCY=305000 P90_LATENCY=550000 P99_LATENCY=710000 MEAN_LATENCY=376989.12 STDDEV_LATENCY=184046.92 After patch : # netperf -H 7.7.7.84 -t TCP_RR -T2,2 -- -k RT_LATENCY,MIN_LATENCY,MAX_LATENCY,P50_LATENCY,P90_LATENCY,P99_LATENCY,MEAN_LATENCY,STDDEV_LATENCY MIGRATED TCP REQUEST/RESPONSE TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 7.7.7.84 () port 0 AF_INET : first burst 0 : cpu bind RT_LATENCY=40545.492 MIN_LATENCY=9834 MAX_LATENCY=78366 P50_LATENCY=33583 P90_LATENCY=59000 P99_LATENCY=69000 MEAN_LATENCY=38364.67 STDDEV_LATENCY=12865.26 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Cc: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Cc: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

timers/nohz: Last resort update jiffies on nohz_full IRQ entry When at least one CPU runs in nohz_full mode, a dedicated timekeeper CPU is guaranteed to stay online and to never stop its tick. Meanwhile on some rare case, the dedicated timekeeper may be running with interrupts disabled for a while, such as in stop_machine. If jiffies stop being updated, a nohz_full CPU may end up endlessly programming the next tick in the past, taking the last jiffies update monotonic timestamp as a stale base, resulting in an tick storm. Here is a scenario where it matters: 0) CPU 0 is the timekeeper and CPU 1 a nohz_full CPU. 1) A stop machine callback is queued to execute somewhere. 2) CPU 0 reaches MULTI_STOP_DISABLE_IRQ while CPU 1 is still in MULTI_STOP_PREPARE. Hence CPU 0 can't do its timekeeping duty. CPU 1 can still take IRQs. 3) CPU 1 receives an IRQ which queues a timer callback one jiffy forward. 4) On IRQ exit, CPU 1 schedules the tick one jiffy forward, taking last_jiffies_update as a base. But last_jiffies_update hasn't been updated for 2 jiffies since the timekeeper has interrupts disabled. 5) clockevents_program_event(), which relies on ktime_get(), observes that the expiration is in the past and therefore programs the min delta event on the clock. 6) The tick fires immediately, goto 3) 7) Tick storm, the nohz_full CPU is drown and takes ages to reach MULTI_STOP_DISABLE_IRQ, which is the only way out of this situation. Solve this with unconditionally updating jiffies if the value is stale on nohz_full IRQ entry. IRQs and other disturbances are expected to be rare enough on nohz_full for the unconditional call to ktime_get() to actually matter. Reported-by: Paul E.

sched/core: introduce sched_core_idle_cpu() As core scheduling introduced, a new state of idle is defined as force idle, running idle task but nr_running greater than zero. If a cpu is in force idle state, idle_cpu() will return zero. This result makes sense in some scenarios, e.g., load balance, showacpu when dumping, and judge the RCU boost kthread is starving. But this will cause error in other scenarios, e.g., tick_irq_exit(): When force idle, rq->curr == rq->idle but rq->nr_running > 0, results that idle_cpu() returns 0. In function tick_irq_exit(), if idle_cpu() is 0, tick_nohz_irq_exit() will not be called, and ts->idle_active will not become 1, which became 0 in tick_nohz_irq_enter(). ts->idle_sleeptime won't update in function update_ts_time_stats(), if ts->idle_active is 0, which should be 1. And this bug will result that ts->idle_sleeptime is less than the actual value, and finally will result that the idle time in /proc/stat is less than the actual value. To solve this problem, we introduce sched_core_idle_cpu(), which returns 1 when force idle. We audit all users of idle_cpu(), and change idle_cpu() into sched_core_idle_cpu() in function tick_irq_exit(). v2-->v3: Only replace idle_cpu() with sched_core_idle_cpu() in function tick_irq_exit(). And modify the corresponding commit log.

softirq: Add trace points for tasklet entry/exit Tasklets are supposed to finish their work quickly and should not block the current running process, but it is not guaranteed that they do so.

workqueue: Implement BH workqueues to eventually replace tasklets The only generic interface to execute asynchronously in the BH context is tasklet; however, it's marked deprecated and has some design flaws such as the execution code accessing the tasklet item after the execution is complete which can lead to subtle use-after-free in certain usage scenarios and less-developed flush and cancel mechanisms. This patch implements BH workqueues which share the same semantics and features of regular workqueues but execute their work items in the softirq context. As there is always only one BH execution context per CPU, none of the concurrency management mechanisms applies and a BH workqueue can be thought of as a convenience wrapper around softirq. Except for the inability to sleep while executing and lack of max_active adjustments, BH workqueues and work items should behave the same as regular workqueues and work items. Currently, the execution is hooked to tasklet[_hi]. However, the goal is to convert all tasklet users over to BH workqueues. Once the conversion is complete, tasklet can be removed and BH workqueues can directly take over the tasklet softirqs. system_bh[_highpri]_wq are added. As queue-wide flushing doesn't exist in tasklet, all existing tasklet users should be able to use the system BH workqueues without creating their own workqueues. v3: - Add missing interrupt.h include. v2: - Instead of using tasklets, hook directly into its softirq action functions - tasklet[_hi]_action(). This is slightly cheaper and closer to the eventual code structure we want to arrive at. Suggested by Lai. - Lai also pointed out several places which need NULL worker->task handling or can use clarification. Updated.

tasklet: Introduce new initialization API Nowadays, modern kernel subsystems that use callbacks pass the data structure associated with a given callback as argument to the callback. The tasklet subsystem remains one which passes an arbitrary unsigned long to the callback function. This has several problems: - This keeps an extra field for storing the argument in each tasklet data structure, it bloats the tasklet_struct structure with a redundant .data field - No type checking can be performed on this argument. Instead of using container_of() like other callback subsystems, it forces callbacks to do explicit type cast of the unsigned long argument into the required object type. - Buffer overflows can overwrite the .func and the .data field, so an attacker can easily overwrite the function and its first argument to whatever it wants. Add a new tasklet initialization API, via DECLARE_TASKLET() and tasklet_setup(), which will replace the existing ones. This work is greatly inspired by the timer_struct conversion series, see commit e99e88a9d2b0 ("treewide: setup_timer() -> timer_setup()") To avoid problems with both -Wcast-function-type (which is enabled in the kernel via -Wextra is several subsystems), and with mismatched function prototypes when build with Control Flow Integrity enabled, this adds the "use_callback" member to let the tasklet caller choose which union member to call through. Once all old API uses are removed, this and the .data member will be removed as well. (On 64-bit this does not grow the struct size as the new member fills the hole after atomic_t, which is also "int" sized.)

tasklet: Introduce new initialization API Nowadays, modern kernel subsystems that use callbacks pass the data structure associated with a given callback as argument to the callback. The tasklet subsystem remains one which passes an arbitrary unsigned long to the callback function. This has several problems: - This keeps an extra field for storing the argument in each tasklet data structure, it bloats the tasklet_struct structure with a redundant .data field - No type checking can be performed on this argument. Instead of using container_of() like other callback subsystems, it forces callbacks to do explicit type cast of the unsigned long argument into the required object type. - Buffer overflows can overwrite the .func and the .data field, so an attacker can easily overwrite the function and its first argument to whatever it wants.

genirq: x86: Ensure that dynamic irq allocation does not conflict On x86 the allocation of irq descriptors may allocate interrupts which are in the range of the GSI interrupts. That's wrong as those interrupts are hardwired and we don't have the irq domain translation like PPC. So one of these interrupts can be hooked up later to one of the devices which are hard wired to it and the io_apic init code for that particular interrupt line happily reuses that descriptor with a completely different configuration so hell breaks lose. Inside x86 we allocate dynamic interrupts from above nr_gsi_irqs, except for a few usage sites which have not yet blown up in our face for whatever reason. But for drivers which need an irq range, like the GPIO drivers, we have no limit in place and we don't want to expose such a detail to a driver. To cure this introduce a function which an architecture can implement to impose a lower bound on the dynamic interrupt allocations. Implement it for x86 and set the lower bound to nr_gsi_irqs, which is the end of the hardwired interrupt space, so all dynamic allocations happen above. That not only allows the GPIO driver to work sanely, it also protects the bogus callsites of create_irq_nr() in hpet, uv, irq_remapping and htirq code. They need to be cleaned up as well, but that's a separate issue.
