commit b352bc1cbc (tick: Convert broadcast cpu bitmaps to
cpumask_var_t) broke CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK in a very subtle way.
Instead of allocating the cpumasks with zalloc_cpumask_var it uses
alloc_cpumask_var, so we can get random data there, which of course
confuses the logic completely and causes random failures.

Vitaliy reported that a per cpu HPET timer interrupt crashes the
system during hibernation. What happens is that the per cpu HPET timer
gets shut down when the nonboot cpus are stopped. When the nonboot
cpus are onlined again the HPET code sets up the MSI interrupt which
fires before the clock event device is registered. The event handler
is still set to hrtimer_interrupt, which then crashes the machine due
to highres mode not being active.
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=700333
There is no real good way to avoid that in the HPET code. The HPET
code alrady has a mechanism to detect spurious interrupts when event
handler == NULL for a similar reason.
We can handle that in the clockevent/tick layer and replace the
previous functional handler with a dummy handler like we do in
tick_setup_new_device().
The original clockevents code did this in clockevents_exchange_device(),
but that got removed by commit 7c1e76897 (clockevents: prevent
clockevent event_handler ending up handler_noop) which forgot to fix
it up in tick_shutdown(). Same issue with the broadcast device.

tick_oneshot_notify() is used to notify a particular CPU to try
to switch into oneshot mode after a oneshot capable tick device
is registered and tick_clock_notify() is used to notify all CPUs
to try to switch into oneshot mode after a high res clocksource
is registered. There is one caveat; if the tick devices suffer
from FEAT_C3_STOP we don't try to switch into oneshot mode unless
we have a oneshot capable broadcast device already registered.
If the broadcast device is registered after the tick devices that
have FEAT_C3_STOP we'll never try to switch into oneshot mode
again, causing us to be stuck in periodic mode forever. Avoid
this scenario by calling tick_clock_notify() after we register
the broadcast device so that we try to switch into oneshot mode
on all CPUs one more time.

"Extended nohz" was used as a naming base for the full dynticks
API and Kconfig symbols. It reflects the fact the system tries
to stop the tick in more places than just idle.
But that "extended" name is a bit opaque and vague. Rename it to
"full" makes it clearer what the system tries to do under this
config: try to shutdown the tick anytime it can. The various
constraints that prevent that to happen shouldn't be considered
as fundamental properties of this feature but rather technical
issues that may be solved in the future.

This way the full nohz CPUs can safely run with the tick
stopped with a guarantee that somebody else is taking
care of the jiffies and GTOD progression.
Once the duty is attributed to a CPU, it won't change. Also that
CPU can't enter into dyntick idle mode or be hot unplugged.
This may later be improved from a power consumption POV. At
least we should be able to share the duty amongst all CPUs
outside the full dynticks range. Then the duty could even be
shared with full dynticks CPUs when those can't stop their
tick for any reason.
But let's start with that very simple approach first.

On the CPU which gets woken along with the target CPU of the broadcast
the following happens:
deep_idle()
<-- spurious wakeup
broadcast_exit()
set forced bit
enable interrupts
<-- Nothing happens
disable interrupts
broadcast_enter()
<-- Here we observe the forced bit is set
deep_idle()
Now after that the target CPU of the broadcast runs the broadcast
handler and finds the other CPU in both the broadcast and the forced
mask, sends the IPI and stuff gets back to normal.
So it's not actually harmful, just more evidence for the theory, that
hardware designers have access to very special drug supplies.
Now there is no point in going back to deep idle just to wake up again
right away via an IPI. Provide a check which allows the idle code to
avoid the deep idle transition.

Some brilliant hardware implementations wake multiple cores when the
broadcast timer fires. This leads to the following interesting
problem:
CPU0 CPU1
wakeup from idle wakeup from idle
leave broadcast mode leave broadcast mode
restart per cpu timer restart per cpu timer
go back to idle
handle broadcast
(empty mask)
enter broadcast mode
programm broadcast device
enter broadcast mode
programm broadcast device
So what happens is that due to the forced reprogramming of the cpu
local timer, we need to set a event in the future. Now if we manage to
go back to idle before the timer fires, we switch off the timer and
arm the broadcast device with an already expired time (covered by
forced mode). So in the worst case we repeat the above ping pong
forever.
Unfortunately we have no information about what caused the wakeup, but
we can check current time against the expiry time of the local cpu. If
the local event is already in the past, we know that the broadcast
timer is about to fire and send an IPI. So we mark ourself as an IPI
target even if we left broadcast mode and avoid the reprogramming of
the local cpu timer.
This still leaves the possibility that a CPU which is not handling the
broadcast interrupt is going to reach idle again before the IPI
arrives. This can't be solved in the core code and will be handled in
follow up patches.

If the local cpu timer stops in deep idle, we arm the broadcast device
and get woken by an IPI. Now when we return from deep idle we reenable
the local cpu timer unconditionally before handling the IPI. But
that's a pointless exercise: the timer is already expired and the IPI
is on the way. And it's an expensive exercise as we use the forced
reprogramming mode so that we do not lose a timer event. This forced
reprogramming will loop at least once in the retry.
To avoid this reprogramming, we mark the cpu in a pending bit mask
before we send the IPI. Now when the IPI target cpu wakes up, it will
see the pending bit set and skip the reprogramming. The reprogramming
of the cpu local timer will happen in the IPI handler which runs the
cpu local timer interrupt function.

Currently tick_check_broadcast_device doesn't reject clock_event_devices

Commit 12ad100046: "clockevents: Add generic timer broadcast function"
made tick_device_uses_broadcast set up the generic broadcast function
for dummy devices (where !tick_device_is_functional(dev)), but neglected
to set up the broadcast function for devices that stop in low power
states (with the CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_C3STOP flag).
When these devices enter low power states they will not have the generic
broadcast function assigned, and will bring down the system when an
attempt is made to broadcast to them.
This patch ensures that the broadcast function is also assigned for
devices which require broadcast in low power states.

During resume, tick_resume_broadcast() programs the broadcast timer in

is not really required, this will generate spurious broadcast timer
ticks upon resume. For example, on the always running apic timer
platforms with HPET, I see spurious hpet tick once every ~5minutes
(which is the 32-bit hpet counter wraparound time).
Similar to boot time, during resume make the oneshot mode setting of

Santosh found another trap when we avoid to initialize the broadcast
device in the switch_to_oneshot code. The broadcast device might be
still in SHUTDOWN state when we actually need to use it. That
obviously breaks, as set_next_event() is called on a shutdown
device. This did not break on x86, but Suresh analyzed it:
From the review, most likely on Sven's system we are force enabling
the hpet using the pci quirk's method very late. And in this case,
hpet_clockevent (which will be global_clock_event) handler can be
null, specifically as this platform might not be using deeper c-states
and using the reliable APIC timer.
Prior to commit 'fa4da365bc7772c', that handler will be set to
'tick_handle_oneshot_broadcast' when we switch the broadcast timer to
oneshot mode, even though we don't use it. Post commit
'fa4da365bc7772c', we stopped switching the broadcast mode to oneshot
as this is not really needed and his platform's global_clock_event's
handler will remain null. While on my SNB laptop, same is set to
'clockevents_handle_noop' because hpet gets enabled very early. (noop
handler on my platform set when the early enabled hpet timer gets
replaced by the lapic timer).
But the commit 'fa4da365bc7772c' tracked the broadcast timer mode in
the SW as oneshot, even though it didn't touch the HW timer. During
resume however, tick_resume_broadcast() saw the SW broadcast mode as
oneshot and actually programmed the broadcast device also into oneshot
mode. So this triggered the null pointer de-reference after the hpet
wraps around and depending on what the hpet counter is set to. On the
normal platforms where hpet gets enabled early we should be seeing a
spurious interrupt (in my SNB laptop I see one spurious interrupt
after around 5 minutes ;) which is 32-bit hpet counter wraparound
time), but that's a separate issue.
Enforce the mode setting when trying to set an event.

Sven Joachim reported, that suspend/resume on rc3 trips over a NULL
pointer dereference. Linus spotted the clockevent handler being NULL.
commit fa4da365b(clockevents: tTack broadcast device mode change in
tick_broadcast_switch_to_oneshot()) tried to fix a problem with the
broadcast device setup, which was introduced in commit 77b0d60c5(
clockevents: Leave the broadcast device in shutdown mode when not
needed).
The initial commit avoided to set up the broadcast device when no
broadcast request bits were set, but that left the broadcast device
disfunctional. In consequence deep idle states which need the
broadcast device were not woken up.
commit fa4da365b tried to fix that by initializing the state of the
broadcast facility, but that missed the fact, that nothing initializes
the event handler and some other state of the underlying clock event
device.
The fix is to revert both commits and make only the mode setting of
the clock event device conditional on the state of active broadcast
users.
That initializes everything except the low level device mode, but this
happens when the broadcast functionality is invoked by deep idle.

In the commit 77b0d60c5a,
"clockevents: Leave the broadcast device in shutdown mode when not needed",
we were bailing out too quickly in tick_broadcast_switch_to_oneshot(),
with out tracking the broadcast device mode change to 'TICKDEV_MODE_ONESHOT'.
This breaks the platforms which need broadcast device oneshot services during
deep idle states. tick_broadcast_oneshot_control() thinks that it is
in periodic mode and fails to take proper decisions based on the
CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_[ENTER, EXIT] notifications during deep
idle entry/exit.
Fix this by tracking the broadcast device mode as 'TICKDEV_MODE_ONESHOT',
before leaving the broadcast HW device in shutdown mode if there are no active
requests for the moment.

The automatic increase of the min_delta_ns of a clockevents device
should be done in the clockevents code as the minimum delay is an
attribute of the clockevents device.
In addition not all architectures want the automatic adjustment, on a
massively virtualized system it can happen that the programming of a
clock event fails several times in a row because the virtual cpu has
been rescheduled quickly enough. In that case the minimum delay will
erroneously be increased with no way back. The new config symbol
GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS_MIN_ADJUST is used to enable the automatic
adjustment. The config option is selected only for x86.

The first cpu which switches from periodic to oneshot mode switches
also the broadcast device into oneshot mode. The broadcast device
serves as a backup for per cpu timers which stop in deeper
C-states. To avoid starvation of the cpus which might be in idle and
depend on broadcast mode it marks the other cpus as broadcast active
and sets the brodcast expiry value of those cpus to the next tick.
The oneshot mode broadcast bit for the other cpus is sticky and gets
only cleared when those cpus exit idle. If a cpu was not idle while
the bit got set in consequence the bit prevents that the broadcast
device is armed on behalf of that cpu when it enters idle for the
first time after it switched to oneshot mode.
In most cases that goes unnoticed as one of the other cpus has usually
a timer pending which keeps the broadcast device armed with a short
timeout. Now if the only cpu which has a short timer active has the
bit set then the broadcast device will not be armed on behalf of that
cpu and will fire way after the expected timer expiry. In the case of
Christians bug report it took ~145 seconds which is about half of the
wrap around time of HPET (the limit for that device) due to the fact
that all other cpus had no timers armed which expired before the 145
seconds timeframe.
The solution is simply to clear the broadcast active bit
unconditionally when a cpu switches to oneshot mode after the first
cpu switched the broadcast device over. It's not idle at that point
otherwise it would not be executing that code.
[ I fundamentally hate that broadcast crap. Why the heck thought some
folks that when going into deep idle it's a brilliant concept to
switch off the last device which brings the cpu back from that
state? ]

Currently clockevents_notify() is called with interrupts enabled at
some places and interrupts disabled at some other places.
This results in a deadlock in this scenario.
cpu A holds clockevents_lock in clockevents_notify() with irqs enabled
cpu B waits for clockevents_lock in clockevents_notify() with irqs disabled
cpu C doing set_mtrr() which will try to rendezvous of all the cpus.
This will result in C and A come to the rendezvous point and waiting
for B. B is stuck forever waiting for the spinlock and thus not
reaching the rendezvous point.
Fix the clockevents code so that clockevents_lock is taken with
interrupts disabled and thus avoid the above deadlock.
Also call lapic_timer_propagate_broadcast() on the destination cpu so
that we avoid calling smp_call_function() in the clockevents notifier
chain.
This issue left us wondering if we need to change the MTRR rendezvous
logic to use stop machine logic (instead of smp_call_function) or add
a check in spinlock debug code to see if there are other spinlocks
which gets taken under both interrupts enabled/disabled conditions.

We did not restart the tick device from irq_enter() to avoid double
reprogramming and extra events in the return immediate to idle case.
But long lasting softirqs can lead to a situation where jiffies become
stale:
idle()
tick stopped (reprogrammed to next pending timer)
halt()
interrupt
jiffies updated from irq_enter()
interrupt handler
softirq function 1 runs 20ms
softirq function 2 arms a 10ms timer with a stale jiffies value
jiffies updated from irq_exit()
timer wheel has now an already expired timer
(the one added in function 2)
timer fires and timer softirq runs
This was discovered when debugging a timer problem which happend only
when the ath5k driver is active. The debugging proved that there is a
softirq function running for more than 20ms, which is a bug by itself.
To solve this we restart the tick timer right from irq_enter(), but do
not go through the other functions which are necessary to return from
idle when need_resched() is set.

Impact: timer hang on CPU online observed on AMD C1E systems
When a CPU is brought online then the broadcast machinery can
be in the one shot state already. Check this and setup the timer
device of the new CPU in one shot mode so the broadcast code
can pick up the next_event value correctly.
Another AMD C1E oddity, as we switch to broadcast immediately and
not after the full bring up via the ACPI cpu idle code.

Impact: Possible hang on CPU online observed on AMD C1E machines.
The broadcast setup code looks at the mode of the tick device to
determine whether it needs to be shut down or setup. This is wrong
when the broadcast mode is set to one shot already. This can happen
when a CPU is brought online as it goes through the periodic setup
first.
The problem went unnoticed as sane systems do not call into that code
before the switch to one shot for the clock event device happens.
The AMD C1E idle routine switches over immediately and thereby shuts
down the just setup device before the first interrupt happens.
Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
The device shut down does not cleanup the next_event variable of the
clock event device. So when the device is reactivated the possible
stale next_event value can prevent the device to be reprogrammed as it
claims to wait on a event already.
This is the root cause of the resurfacing suspend/resume problem,
where systems need key press to come back to life.
Fix this by setting next_event to KTIME_MAX when the device is shut
down. Use a separate function for shutdown which takes care of that
and only keep the direct set mode call in the broadcast code, where we
can not touch the next_event value.

The C1E/HPET bug reports on AMDX2/RS690 systems where tracked down to a
too small value of the HPET minumum delta for programming an event.
The clockevents code needs to enforce an interrupt event on the clock event
device in some cases. The enforcement code was stupid and naive, as it just
added the minimum delta to the current time and tried to reprogram the device.
When the minimum delta is too small, then this loops forever.
Add a sanity check. Allow reprogramming to fail 3 times, then print a warning
and double the minimum delta value to make sure, that this does not happen again.
Use the same function for both tick-oneshot and tick-broadcast code.

the second init could just render it unusable again.

The reprogramming of the periodic broadcast handler was broken,
when the first programming returned -ETIME. The clockevents code
stores the new expiry value in the clock events device next_event field
only when the programming time has not been elapsed yet. The loop in

and therefor never increases.

C1E on AMD machines is like C3 but without control from the OS. Up to
now we disabled the local apic timer for those machines as it stops
when the CPU goes into C1E. This excludes those machines from high
resolution timers / dynamic ticks, which hurts especially X2 based
laptops.
The current boot time C1E detection has another, more serious flaw
as well: some BIOSes do not enable C1E until the ACPI processor module
is loaded. This causes systems to stop working after that point.
To work nicely with C1E enabled machines we use a separate idle
function, which checks on idle entry whether C1E was enabled in the
Interrupt Pending Message MSR. This allows us to do timer broadcasting
for C1E and covers the late enablement of C1E as well.

I generally dislike adding optional linux/* includes in asm/* includes -
I'm nervous about this causing include loops.
However, there's a separate point to be discussed here.
That is, what interfaces are expected of every architecture in the kernel.
If generic code wants to be able to set the affinity of interrupts, then
that needs to become part of the interfaces listed in linux/interrupt.h
rather than linux/irq.h.
So what I suggest is this approach instead (against Linus' tree of a
couple of days ago) - we move irq_set_affinity() and irq_can_set_affinity()
to linux/interrupt.h, change the linux/irq.h includes to linux/interrupt.h
and include asm/irq_regs.h where needed (asm/irq_regs.h is supposed to be
rarely used include since not much touches the stacked parent context
registers.)
Build tested on ARM PXA family kernels and ARM's Realview platform
kernels which both use genirq.

Resolve the following regression of a choppy, almost unusable laptop:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/12/7/299http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9525
A previous version of the code did the reprogramming of the broadcast
device in the return from idle code. This was removed, but the logic in
tick_handle_oneshot_broadcast() was kept the same.
When a broadcast interrupt happens we signal the expiry to all CPUs
which have an expired event. If none of the CPUs has an expired event,
which can happen in dyntick mode, then we reprogram the broadcast
device. We do not reprogram otherwise, but this is only correct if all
CPUs, which are in the idle broadcast state have been woken up.
The code ignores, that there might be pending not yet expired events on
other CPUs, which are in the idle broadcast state. So the delivery of
those events can be delayed for quite a time.
Change the tick_handle_oneshot_broadcast() function to check for CPUs,
which are in broadcast state and are not woken up by the current event,
and enforce the rearming of the broadcast device for those CPUs.

The 64bit SMP bootup is slightly different to the 32bit one. It enables
the boot CPU local APIC timer before all CPUs are brought up. Some AMD C1E
systems have the C1E feature flag only set in the secondary CPU. Due to
the early enable of the boot CPU local APIC timer the APIC timer is
registered as a fully functional device. When we detect the wreckage during
the bringup of the secondary CPU, we need to force the boot CPU into
broadcast mode.

In a desparate attempt to fix the suspend/resume problem on Andrews
VAIO I added a workaround which enforced the broadcast of the oneshot
timer on resume. This was actually resolving the problem on the VAIO
but was just a stupid workaround, which was not tackling the root
cause: the assignement of lower idle C-States in the ACPI processor_idle
code. The cpuidle patches, which utilize the dynamic tick feature and
go faster into deeper C-states exposed the problem again. The correct
solution is the previous patch, which prevents lower C-states across
the suspend/resume.
Remove the enforcement code, including the conditional broadcast timer
arming, which helped to pamper over the real problem for quite a time.
The oneshot broadcast flag for the cpu, which runs the resume code can
never be set at the time when this code is executed. It only gets set,
when the CPU is entering a lower idle C-State.

I finally found a dual core box, which survives suspend/resume without
crashing in the middle of nowhere. Sigh, I never figured out from the
code and the bug reports what's going on.
The observed hangs are caused by a stale state transition of the clock
event devices, which keeps the RCU synchronization away from completion,
when the non boot CPU is brought back up.
The suspend/resume in oneshot mode needs the similar care as the
periodic mode during suspend to RAM. My assumption that the state
transitions during the different shutdown/bringups of s2disk would go
through the periodic boot phase and then switch over to highres resp.
nohz mode were simply wrong.
