A rather large update for timekeeping and timers:
- The final step to get rid of auto-rearming posix-timers
posix-timers are currently auto-rearmed by the kernel when the signal
of the timer is ignored so that the timer signal can be delivered once
the corresponding signal is unignored.
This requires to throttle the timer to prevent a DoS by small intervals
and keeps the system pointlessly out of low power states for no value.
This is a long standing non-trivial problem due to the lock order of
posix-timer lock and the sighand lock along with life time issues as
the timer and the sigqueue have different life time rules.
Cure this by:
* Embedding the sigqueue into the timer struct to have the same life
time rules. Aside of that this also avoids the lookup of the timer
in the signal delivery and rearm path as it's just a always valid
container_of() now.
* Queuing ignored timer signals onto a seperate ignored list.
* Moving queued timer signals onto the ignored list when the signal is
switched to SIG_IGN before it could be delivered.
* Walking the ignored list when SIG_IGN is lifted and requeue the
signals to the actual signal lists. This allows the signal delivery
code to rearm the timer.
This also required to consolidate the signal delivery rules so they are
consistent across all situations. With that all self test scenarios
finally succeed.
- Core infrastructure for VFS multigrain timestamping
This is required to allow the kernel to use coarse grained time stamps
by default and switch to fine grained time stamps when inode attributes
are actively observed via getattr().
These changes have been provided to the VFS tree as well, so that the
VFS specific infrastructure could be built on top.
- Cleanup and consolidation of the sleep() infrastructure
* Move all sleep and timeout functions into one file
* Rework udelay() and ndelay() into proper documented inline functions
and replace the hardcoded magic numbers by proper defines.
* Rework the fsleep() implementation to take the reality of the timer
wheel granularity on different HZ values into account. Right now the
boundaries are hard coded time ranges which fail to provide the
requested accuracy on different HZ settings.
* Update documentation for all sleep/timeout related functions and fix
up stale documentation links all over the place
* Fixup a few usage sites
- Rework of timekeeping and adjtimex(2) to prepare for multiple PTP clocks
A system can have multiple PTP clocks which are participating in
seperate and independent PTP clock domains. So far the kernel only
considers the PTP clock which is based on CLOCK TAI relevant as that's
the clock which drives the timekeeping adjustments via the various user
space daemons through adjtimex(2).
The non TAI based clock domains are accessible via the file descriptor
based posix clocks, but their usability is very limited. They can't be
accessed fast as they always go all the way out to the hardware and
they cannot be utilized in the kernel itself.
As Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) gains traction it is required to
provide fast user and kernel space access to these clocks.
The approach taken is to utilize the timekeeping and adjtimex(2)
infrastructure to provide this access in a similar way how the kernel
provides access to clock MONOTONIC, REALTIME etc.
Instead of creating a duplicated infrastructure this rework converts
timekeeping and adjtimex(2) into generic functionality which operates
on pointers to data structures instead of using static variables.
This allows to provide time accessors and adjtimex(2) functionality for
the independent PTP clocks in a subsequent step.
- Consolidate hrtimer initialization
hrtimers are set up by initializing the data structure and then
seperately setting the callback function for historical reasons.
That's an extra unnecessary step and makes Rust support less straight
forward than it should be.
Provide a new set of hrtimer_setup*() functions and convert the core
code and a few usage sites of the less frequently used interfaces over.
The bulk of the htimer_init() to hrtimer_setup() conversion is already
prepared and scheduled for the next merge window.
- Drivers:
* Ensure that the global timekeeping clocksource is utilizing the
cluster 0 timer on MIPS multi-cluster systems.
Otherwise CPUs on different clusters use their cluster specific
clocksource which is not guaranteed to be synchronized with other
clusters.
* Mostly boring cleanups, fixes, improvements and code movement

clockevents: Shutdown and unregister current clockevents at CPUHP_AP_TICK_DYING
The way the clockevent devices are finally stopped while a CPU is offlining is currently chaotic. The layout being by order: 1) tick_sched_timer_dying() stops the tick and the underlying clockevent but only for oneshot case. The periodic tick and its related clockevent still runs. 2) tick_broadcast_offline() detaches and stops the per-cpu oneshot broadcast and append it to the released list. 3) Some individual clockevent drivers stop the clockevents (a second time if the tick is oneshot) 4) Once the CPU is dead, a control CPU remotely detaches and stops (a 3rd time if oneshot mode) the CPU clockevent and adds it to the released list. 5) The released list containing the broadcast device released on step 2) and the remotely detached clockevent from step 4) are unregistered. These random events can be factorized if the current clockevent is detached and stopped by the dying CPU at the generic layer, that is from the dying CPU: a) Stop the tick b) Stop/detach the underlying per-cpu oneshot broadcast clockevent c) Stop/detach the underlying clockevent d) Release / unregister the clockevents from b) and c) e) Release / unregister the remaining clockevents from the dying CPU. This part could be performed by the dying CPU This way the drivers and the tick layer don't need to care about clockevent operations during cpuhotplug down. This also unifies the tick behaviour on offline CPUs between oneshot and periodic modes, avoiding offline ticks altogether for sanity. Adopt the simplification.

Updates for timers and timekeeping:
- Core:
- Overhaul of posix-timers in preparation of removing the
workaround for periodic timers which have signal delivery
ignored.
- Remove the historical extra jiffie in msleep()
msleep() adds an extra jiffie to the timeout value to ensure
minimal sleep time. The timer wheel ensures minimal sleep
time since the large rewrite to a non-cascading wheel, but the
extra jiffie in msleep() remained unnoticed. Remove it.
- Make the timer slack handling correct for realtime tasks.
The procfs interface is inconsistent and does neither reflect
reality nor conforms to the man page. Show the correct 0 slack
for real time tasks and enforce it at the core level instead of
having inconsistent individual checks in various timer setup
functions.
- The usual set of updates and enhancements all over the place.
- Drivers:
- Allow the ACPI PM timer to be turned off during suspend
- No new drivers
- The usual updates and enhancements in various drivers

cpu/SMT: Enable SMT only if a core is online
If a core is offline then enabling SMT should not online CPUs of
this core. By enabling SMT, what is intended is either changing the SMT
value from "off" to "on" or setting the SMT level (threads per core) from a
lower to higher value.
On PowerPC the ppc64_cpu utility can be used, among other things, to
perform the following functions:
ppc64_cpu --cores-on # Get the number of online cores
ppc64_cpu --cores-on=X # Put exactly X cores online
ppc64_cpu --offline-cores=X[,Y,...] # Put specified cores offline
ppc64_cpu --smt={on|off|value} # Enable, disable or change SMT level
If the user has decided to offline certain cores, enabling SMT should
not online CPUs in those cores. This patch fixes the issue and changes
the behaviour as described, by introducing an arch specific function
topology_is_core_online(). It is currently implemented only for PowerPC.
Fixes:

cpumask: Add enabled cpumask for present CPUs that can be brought online
The 'offline' file in sysfs shows all offline CPUs, including those that aren't present. User-space is expected to remove not-present CPUs from this list to learn which CPUs could be brought online. CPUs can be present but not-enabled. These CPUs can't be brought online until the firmware policy changes, which comes with an ACPI notification that will register the CPUs. With only the offline and present files, user-space is unable to determine which CPUs it can try to bring online. Add a new CPU mask that shows this based on all the registered CPUs.

After the rework of "Parallel CPU bringup", the cmdline "nosmp" and "maxcpus=0" parameters are not working anymore. These parameters set setup_max_cpus to zero and that's handed to bringup_nonboot_cpus(). The code there does a decrement before checking for zero, which brings it into the negative space and brings up all CPUs. Add a zero check at the beginning of the function to prevent this.

cpu/hotplug: Add support for declaring CPU offlining not supported
The ACPI MADT mailbox wakeup method doesn't allow to offline a CPU after it has been woken up. Currently, offlining is prevented based on the confidential computing attribute which is set for Intel TDX. But TDX is not the only possible user of the wake up method. The MADT wakeup can be implemented outside of a confidential computing environment. Offline support is a property of the wakeup method, not the CoCo implementation.

cpu/hotplug: Reverse order of iteration in freeze_secondary_cpus()
Whenever CPU hotplug state callbacks are registered, the startup callback is invoked on CPUs that have already reached the provided state in order of ascending CPU IDs. In freeze_secondary_cpus() the teardown of CPUs happens in the same are invoked in the same order. This is known to make a difference is the current implementation of these callbacks in arch/x86/events/intel/uncore.c: - uncore_event_cpu_online() designates the first CPU it is invoked for on each package as the uncore event collector for that package - uncore_event_cpu_offline() if the CPU being offlined is the event collector for its package, transfers that responsibility over to the next (by ascending CPU id) one in the same package With the current order of CPU teardowns in freeze_secondary_cpus(), the latter ends up doing the ownership transfer work on every single CPU. That work involves a synchronize_rcu() call, ultimately unnecessarily degrading the performance of CPU offlining. To address this make freeze_secondary_cpus() iterate through the CPUs in reverse order, so that the teardown happens in order of descending CPU IDs.

- The locking around cpuset hotplug processing has always been a bit of mess
which was worked around by making hotplug processing asynchronous. The
asynchronity isn't great and led to other issues. We tried to make the
behavior synchronous a while ago but that led to lockdep splats. Waiman
took another stab at cleaning up and making it synchronous. The patch has
been in -next for well over a month and there haven't been any complaints,
so fingers crossed.
- Tracepoints added to help understanding rstat lock contentions.
- A bunch of minor changes - doc updates, code cleanups and selftests.

cpu: Ignore "mitigations" kernel parameter if CPU_MITIGATIONS=n
Explicitly disallow enabling mitigations at runtime for kernels that were built with CONFIG_CPU_MITIGATIONS=n, as some architectures may omit code entirely if mitigations are disabled at compile time. E.g. on x86, a large pile of Kconfigs are buried behind CPU_MITIGATIONS, and trying to provide sane behavior for retroactively enabling mitigations is extremely difficult, bordering on impossible. E.g. page table isolation and call depth tracking require build-time support, BHI mitigations will still be off without additional kernel parameters, etc. [ bp: Touchups. ] Signed-off-by: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov (AMD) <bp@alien8.de> Acked-by: Borislav Petkov (AMD) <bp@alien8.de> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240420000556.2645001-3-seanjc@google.com |

cpu: Re-enable CPU mitigations by default for !X86 architectures
Rename x86's to CPU_MITIGATIONS, define it in generic code, and force it
on for all architectures exception x86. A recent commit to turn
mitigations off by default if SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS=n kinda sorta
missed that "cpu_mitigations" is completely generic, whereas
SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS is x86-specific.
Rename x86's SPECULATIVE_MITIGATIONS instead of keeping both and have it
select CPU_MITIGATIONS, as having two configs for the same thing is
unnecessary and confusing. This will also allow x86 to use the knob to
manage mitigations that aren't strictly related to speculative
execution.
Use another Kconfig to communicate to common code that CPU_MITIGATIONS
is already defined instead of having x86's menu depend on the common
CPU_MITIGATIONS. This allows keeping a single point of contact for all
of x86's mitigations, and it's not clear that other architectures *want*
to allow disabling mitigations at compile-time.

x86/cpu: Actually turn off mitigations by default for SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS=n
Initialize cpu_mitigations to CPU_MITIGATIONS_OFF if the kernel is built
with CONFIG_SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS=n, as the help text quite clearly
states that disabling SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS is supposed to turn off all
mitigations by default.
│ If you say N, all mitigations will be disabled. You really
│ should know what you are doing to say so.
As is, the kernel still defaults to CPU_MITIGATIONS_AUTO, which results in
some mitigations being enabled in spite of SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS=n.

cgroup/cpuset: Make cpuset hotplug processing synchronous
Since commit 3a5a6d0c2b03("cpuset: don't nest cgroup_mutex inside
get_online_cpus()"), cpuset hotplug was done asynchronously via a work
function. This is to avoid recursive locking of cgroup_mutex.
Since then, the cgroup locking scheme has changed quite a bit. A
cpuset_mutex was introduced to protect cpuset specific operations.
The cpuset_mutex is then replaced by a cpuset_rwsem. With commit

Rework of APIC enumeration and topology evaluation:
The current implementation has a couple of shortcomings:
- It fails to handle hybrid systems correctly.
- The APIC registration code which handles CPU number assignents is in
the middle of the APIC code and detached from the topology evaluation.
- The various mechanisms which enumerate APICs, ACPI, MPPARSE and guest
specific ones, tweak global variables as they see fit or in case of
XENPV just hack around the generic mechanisms completely.
- The CPUID topology evaluation code is sprinkled all over the vendor
code and reevaluates global variables on every hotplug operation.
- There is no way to analyze topology on the boot CPU before bringing up
the APs. This causes problems for infrastructure like PERF which needs
to size certain aspects upfront or could be simplified if that would be
possible.
- The APIC admission and CPU number association logic is incomprehensible
and overly complex and needs to be kept around after boot instead of
completing this right after the APIC enumeration.
This update addresses these shortcomings with the following changes:
- Rework the CPUID evaluation code so it is common for all vendors and
provides information about the APIC ID segments in a uniform way
independent of the number of segments (Thread, Core, Module, ..., Die,
Package) so that this information can be computed instead of rewriting
global variables of dubious value over and over.
- A few cleanups and simplifcations of the APIC, IO/APIC and related
interfaces to prepare for the topology evaluation changes.
- Seperation of the parser stages so the early evaluation which tries to
find the APIC address can be seperately overridden from the late
evaluation which enumerates and registers the local APIC as further
preparation for sanitizing the topology evaluation.
- A new registration and admission logic which
- encapsulates the inner workings so that parsers and guest logic
cannot longer fiddle in it
- uses the APIC ID segments to build topology bitmaps at registration
time
- provides a sane admission logic
- allows to detect the crash kernel case, where CPU0 does not run on
the real BSP, automatically. This is required to prevent sending
INIT/SIPI sequences to the real BSP which would reset the whole
machine. This was so far handled by a tedious command line
parameter, which does not even work in nested crash scenarios.
- Associates CPU number after the enumeration completed and prevents
the late registration of APICs, which was somehow tolerated before.
- Converting all parsers and guest enumeration mechanisms over to the
new interfaces.
This allows to get rid of all global variable tweaking from the parsers
and enumeration mechanisms and sanitizes the XEN[PV] handling so it can
use CPUID evaluation for the first time.
- Mopping up existing sins by taking the information from the APIC ID
segment bitmaps.
This evaluates hybrid systems correctly on the boot CPU and allows for
cleanups and fixes in the related drivers, e.g. PERF.
The series has been extensively tested and the minimal late fallout due to
a broken ACPI/MADT table has been addressed by tightening the admission
logic further.

evaluation which enumerates and registers the local APIC as further
preparation for sanitizing the topology evaluation.
- A new registration and admission logic which
- encapsulates the inner workings so that parsers and guest logic
cannot longer fiddle in it
- uses the APIC ID segments to build topology bitmaps at
registration time
- provides a sane admission logic
- allows to detect the crash kernel case, where CPU0 does not run
on the real BSP, automatically. This is required to prevent
sending INIT/SIPI sequences to the real BSP which would reset
the whole machine. This was so far handled by a tedious command
line parameter, which does not even work in nested crash
scenarios.
- Associates CPU number after the enumeration completed and
prevents the late registration of APICs, which was somehow
tolerated before.
- Converting all parsers and guest enumeration mechanisms over to the
new interfaces.
This allows to get rid of all global variable tweaking from the
parsers and enumeration mechanisms and sanitizes the XEN[PV]
handling so it can use CPUID evaluation for the first time.
- Mopping up existing sins by taking the information from the APIC ID
segment bitmaps.
This evaluates hybrid systems correctly on the boot CPU and allows
for cleanups and fixes in the related drivers, e.g. PERF.
The series has been extensively tested and the minimal late fallout
due to a broken ACPI/MADT table has been addressed by tightening the
admission logic further"

A large set of updates and features for timers and timekeeping:
- The hierarchical timer pull model
When timer wheel timers are armed they are placed into the timer wheel
of a CPU which is likely to be busy at the time of expiry. This is done
to avoid wakeups on potentially idle CPUs.
This is wrong in several aspects:
1) The heuristics to select the target CPU are wrong by
definition as the chance to get the prediction right is close
to zero.
2) Due to #1 it is possible that timers are accumulated on a
single target CPU
3) The required computation in the enqueue path is just overhead for
dubious value especially under the consideration that the vast
majority of timer wheel timers are either canceled or rearmed
before they expire.
The timer pull model avoids the above by removing the target
computation on enqueue and queueing timers always on the CPU on which
they get armed.
This is achieved by having separate wheels for CPU pinned timers and
global timers which do not care about where they expire.
As long as a CPU is busy it handles both the pinned and the global
timers which are queued on the CPU local timer wheels.
When a CPU goes idle it evaluates its own timer wheels:
- If the first expiring timer is a pinned timer, then the global
timers can be ignored as the CPU will wake up before they expire.
- If the first expiring timer is a global timer, then the expiry time
is propagated into the timer pull hierarchy and the CPU makes sure
to wake up for the first pinned timer.
The timer pull hierarchy organizes CPUs in groups of eight at the
lowest level and at the next levels groups of eight groups up to the
point where no further aggregation of groups is required, i.e. the
number of levels is log8(NR_CPUS). The magic number of eight has been
established by experimention, but can be adjusted if needed.
In each group one busy CPU acts as the migrator. It's only one CPU to
avoid lock contention on remote timer wheels.
The migrator CPU checks in its own timer wheel handling whether there
are other CPUs in the group which have gone idle and have global timers
to expire. If there are global timers to expire, the migrator locks the
remote CPU timer wheel and handles the expiry.
Depending on the group level in the hierarchy this handling can require
to walk the hierarchy downwards to the CPU level.
Special care is taken when the last CPU goes idle. At this point the
CPU is the systemwide migrator at the top of the hierarchy and it
therefore cannot delegate to the hierarchy. It needs to arm its own
timer device to expire either at the first expiring timer in the
hierarchy or at the first CPU local timer, which ever expires first.
This completely removes the overhead from the enqueue path, which is
e.g. for networking a true hotpath and trades it for a slightly more
complex idle path.
This has been in development for a couple of years and the final series
has been extensively tested by various teams from silicon vendors and
ran through extensive CI.
There have been slight performance improvements observed on network
centric workloads and an Intel team confirmed that this allows them to
power down a die completely on a mult-die socket for the first time in
a mostly idle scenario.
There is only one outstanding ~1.5% regression on a specific overloaded
netperf test which is currently investigated, but the rest is either
positive or neutral performance wise and positive on the power
management side.
- Fixes for the timekeeping interpolation code for cross-timestamps:
cross-timestamps are used for PTP to get snapshots from hardware timers
and interpolated them back to clock MONOTONIC. The changes address a
few corner cases in the interpolation code which got the math and logic
wrong.
- Simplifcation of the clocksource watchdog retry logic to automatically
adjust to handle larger systems correctly instead of having more
incomprehensible command line parameters.
- Treewide consolidation of the VDSO data structures.
- The usual small improvements and cleanups all over the place.

tick: Assume timekeeping is correctly handed over upon last offline idle call
The timekeeping duty is handed over from the outgoing CPU on stop machine, then the oneshot tick is stopped right after. Therefore it's guaranteed that the current CPU isn't the timekeeper upon its last call to idle. Besides, calling tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() while the dying CPU goes into idle suggests that the tick is going to be stopped while it is actually stopped already from the appropriate CPU hotplug state. Remove the confusing call and the obsolete case handling and convert it to a sanity check that verifies the above assumption.

tick: Move broadcast cancellation up to CPUHP_AP_TICK_DYING
The broadcast shutdown code is executed through a random explicit call within stop machine from the outgoing CPU. However the tick broadcast is a midware between the tick callback and the clocksource, therefore it makes more sense to shut it down after the tick callback and before the clocksource drivers. Move it instead to the common tick shutdown CPU hotplug state where related operations can be ordered from highest to lowest level.

tick: Start centralizing tick related CPU hotplug operations
During the CPU offlining process, the various timer tick features are
shut down from scattered places, sometimes from teardown callbacks on
stop machine, sometimes through explicit calls, sometimes from the
control CPU after the CPU died. The reason why these shutdown operations
are spread around is not always clear and it makes the tick lifecycle
hard to follow.
The tick should be shut down in order from highest to lowest level:
On stop machine from the dying CPU (high-level):
1) Hand-over the timekeeping duty (tick_handover_do_timer())
2) Cancel the tick implementation called by the clockevent callback
(tick_cancel_sched_timer())
3) Shutdown broadcasting (tick_offline_cpu() / tick_broadcast_offline())
On stop machine from the dying CPU (low-level):
4) Shutdown clockevents drivers (CPUHP_AP_*_TIMER_STARTING states)
From the control CPU after the CPU died (low-level):
5) Shutdown/unregister/cleanup clockevents for the dead CPU
(tick_cleanup_dead_cpu())
Instead the current order is 2, 4 (both from CPU hotplug states), then
1 and 3 through direct calls. This layout and order don't make much
sense. The operations 1, 2, 3 should be gathered together and in order.
Sort this situation with creating a new TICK shut-down CPU hotplug state
and start with introducing the timekeeping duty hand-over there. The
state must precede hrtimers migration because the tick hrtimer will be
stopped from it in a further patch.

Freezing is an operation involving double_cmpxchg() that makes a slab
exclusive for a particular CPU. Chengming noticed that we use it also
in situations where we are not yet installing the slab as the CPU
slab, because freezing also indicates that the slab is not on the
shared list. This results in redundant freeze/unfreeze operation and
can be avoided by marking separately the shared list presence by
reusing the PG_workingset flag.

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

rcu/fixes: 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

X86 core code updates:
- Limit the hardcoded topology quirk for Hygon CPUs to those which have a
model ID less than 4. The newer models have the topology CPUID leaf 0xB
correctly implemented and are not affected.
- Make SMT control more robust against enumeration failures
SMT control was added to allow controlling SMT at boottime or
runtime. The primary purpose was to provide a simple mechanism to
disable SMT in the light of speculation attack vectors.
It turned out that the code is sensible to enumeration failures and
worked only by chance for XEN/PV. XEN/PV has no real APIC enumeration
which means the primary thread mask is not set up correctly. By chance
a XEN/PV boot ends up with smp_num_siblings == 2, which makes the
hotplug control stay at its default value "enabled". So the mask is
never evaluated.
The ongoing rework of the topology evaluation caused XEN/PV to end up
with smp_num_siblings == 1, which sets the SMT control to "not
supported" and the empty primary thread mask causes the hotplug core to
deny the bringup of the APS.
Make the decision logic more robust and take 'not supported' and 'not
implemented' into account for the decision whether a CPU should be
booted or not.
- Fake primary thread mask for XEN/PV
Pretend that all XEN/PV vCPUs are primary threads, which makes the
usage of the primary thread mask valid on XEN/PV. That is consistent
with because all of the topology information on XEN/PV is fake or even
non-existent.
- Encapsulate topology information in cpuinfo_x86
Move the randomly scattered topology data into a separate data
structure for readability and as a preparatory step for the topology
evaluation overhaul.
- Consolidate APIC ID data type to u32
It's fixed width hardware data and not randomly u16, int, unsigned long
or whatever developers decided to use.
- Cure the abuse of cpuinfo for persisting logical IDs.
Per CPU cpuinfo is used to persist the logical package and die
IDs. That's really not the right place simply because cpuinfo is
subject to be reinitialized when a CPU goes through an offline/online
cycle.
Use separate per CPU data for the persisting to enable the further
topology management rework. It will be removed once the new topology
management is in place.
- Provide a debug interface for inspecting topology information
Useful in general and extremly helpful for validating the topology
management rework in terms of correctness or "bug" compatibility.

cpu/hotplug: Don't offline the last non-isolated CPU
If a system has isolated CPUs via the "isolcpus=" command line parameter,
then an attempt to offline the last housekeeping CPU will result in a
WARN_ON() when rebuilding the scheduler domains and a subsequent panic due
to and unhandled empty CPU mas in partition_sched_domains_locked().
cpuset_hotplug_workfn()
rebuild_sched_domains_locked()
ndoms = generate_sched_domains(&doms, &attr);
cpumask_and(doms[0], top_cpuset.effective_cpus, housekeeping_cpumask(HK_FLAG_DOMAIN));
Thus results in an empty CPU mask which triggers the warning and then the
subsequent crash:
WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 80 at kernel/sched/topology.c:2366 build_sched_domains+0x120c/0x1408
Call trace:
build_sched_domains+0x120c/0x1408

partition_sched_domains_locked+0x318/0x880
rebuild_sched_domains_locked+0x37c/0x798
Aside of the resulting crash, it does not make any sense to offline the last
last housekeeping CPU.
Prevent this by masking out the non-housekeeping CPUs when selecting a
target CPU for initiating the CPU unplug operation via the work queue.

cpu/SMT: Make SMT control more robust against enumeration failures
The SMT control mechanism got added as speculation attack vector
mitigation. The implemented logic relies on the primary thread mask to
be set up properly.
This turns out to be an issue with XEN/PV guests because their CPU hotplug
mechanics do not enumerate APICs and therefore the mask is never correctly
populated.
This went unnoticed so far because by chance XEN/PV ends up with
smp_num_siblings == 2. So smt_hotplug_control stays at its default value
CPU_SMT_ENABLED and the primary thread mask is never evaluated in the
context of CPU hotplug.
This stopped "working" with the upcoming overhaul of the topology
evaluation which legitimately provides a fake topology for XEN/PV. That
sets smp_num_siblings to 1, which causes the core CPU hot-plug core to
refuse to bring up the APs.
This happens because smt_hotplug_control is set to CPU_SMT_NOT_SUPPORTED
which causes cpu_smt_allowed() to evaluate the unpopulated primary thread
mask with the conclusion that all non-boot CPUs are not valid to be
plugged.
Make cpu_smt_allowed() more robust and take CPU_SMT_NOT_SUPPORTED and
CPU_SMT_NOT_IMPLEMENTED into account. Rename it to cpu_bootable() while at
it as that makes it more clear what the function is about.
The primary mask issue on x86 XEN/PV needs to be addressed separately as
there are users outside of the CPU hotplug code too.
Fixes:

rcu: Standardize explicit CPU-hotplug calls

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. Reviewed-by: Paul E.

arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architecture
The Itanium architecture is obsolete, and an informal survey [0] reveals that any residual use of Itanium hardware in production is mostly HP-UX or OpenVMS based. The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some distro packages that are rarely used in practice. None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as 'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2 reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have dropped support years ago. While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64 could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case. There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64 but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64 be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead of keeping it supported is real. So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely. This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5], which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow once the kernel support is removed.

cpu/hotplug: Prevent self deadlock on CPU hot-unplug
Xiongfeng reported and debugged a self deadlock of the task which initiates
and controls a CPU hot-unplug operation vs. the CFS bandwidth timer.
CPU1 CPU2
T1 sets cfs_quota
starts hrtimer cfs_bandwidth 'period_timer'
T1 is migrated to CPU2
T1 initiates offlining of CPU1
Hotplug operation starts
...
'period_timer' expires and is re-enqueued on CPU1
...
take_cpu_down()
CPU1 shuts down and does not handle timers
anymore. They have to be migrated in the
post dead hotplug steps by the control task.
T1 runs the post dead offline operation
T1 is scheduled out
T1 waits for 'period_timer' to expire
T1 waits there forever if it is scheduled out before it can execute the hrtimer
offline callback hrtimers_dead_cpu().
Cure this by delegating the hotplug control operation to a worker thread on
an online CPU. This takes the initiating user space task, which might be
affected by the bandwidth timer, completely out of the picture.
