This commit provides rcu_exp_batches_completed() and
rcu_exp_batches_completed_sched() functions to allow torture-test modules
to check how many expedited grace period batches have completed.
These are analogous to the existing rcu_batches_completed(),
rcu_batches_completed_bh(), and rcu_batches_completed_sched() functions.

Currently, rcu_torture_writer() checks only for rcu_gp_is_expedited()
when deciding whether or not to do dynamic control of RCU expediting.
This means that if rcupdate.rcu_normal is specified, rcu_torture_writer()
will attempt to dynamically control RCU expediting, but will nonetheless
only test normal RCU grace periods. This commit therefore adds a check
for !rcu_gp_is_normal(), and prints a message and desists from testing
dynamic control of RCU expediting when doing so is futile.

If it is necessary to kick the grace-period kthread, that is a good
time to dump the trace buffer in order to learn why kicking was needed.
This commit therefore does the dump.

Currently, we have four versions of rcu_read_lock_sched_held(), depending
on the combined choices on PREEMPT_COUNT and DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC. However,
there is an existing function preemptible() that already distinguishes
between the PREEMPT_COUNT=y and PREEMPT_COUNT=n cases, and allows these
four implementations to be consolidated down to two.
This commit therefore uses preemptible() to achieve this consolidation.
Note that there could be a small performance regression in the case
of CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y && PREEMPT_COUNT=n. However, given the
overhead associated with CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y, this should be
down in the noise.

Recent kernels can fail to awaken the grace-period kthread for
quiescent-state forcing. This commit is a crude hack that does
a wakeup if a scheduling-clock interrupt sees that it has been
too long since force-quiescent-state (FQS) processing.

Currently, the force-quiescent-state (FQS) code in rcu_gp_kthread() can
advance the next FQS even if one was not executed last time. This can
happen due timeout-duration uncertainty. This commit therefore avoids
advancing the FQS schedule unless an FQS was just executed. In the
corner case where an FQS was not executed, but is due now, the code does
a one-jiffy wait.
This change prepares for kthread kicking.

The current expedited grace-period implementation makes subsequent grace
periods wait on wakeups for the prior grace period. This does not fit
the dictionary definition of "expedited", so this commit allows these two
phases to overlap. Doing this requires four waitqueues rather than two
because tasks can now be waiting on the previous, current, and next grace
periods. The fourth waitqueue makes the bit masking work out nicely.

This commit speeds up the low-contention case, especially for systems
with large rcu_node trees, by attempting to directly acquire the
->exp_mutex. This fastpath checks the leaves and root first in
order to avoid excessive memory contention on the mutex itself.

The current mutex-based funnel-locking approach used by expedited grace
periods is subject to severe unfairness. The problem arises when a
few tasks, making a path from leaves to root, all wake up before other
tasks do. A new task can then follow this path all the way to the root,
which needlessly delays tasks whose grace period is done, but who do
not happen to acquire the lock quickly enough.
This commit avoids this problem by maintaining per-rcu_node wait queues,
along with a per-rcu_node counter that tracks the latest grace period
sought by an earlier task to visit this node. If that grace period
would satisfy the current task, instead of proceeding up the tree,
it waits on the current rcu_node structure using a pair of wait queues
provided for that purpose. This decouples awakening of old tasks from
the arrival of new tasks.
If the wakeups prove to be a bottleneck, additional kthreads can be
brought to bear for that purpose.

Although cond_resched_rcu_qs() supplies quiescent states to all flavors
of normal RCU grace periods, it does nothing for expedited RCU-sched
grace periods. This commit therefore adds a check for a need for a
quiescent state from the current CPU by an expedited RCU-sched grace
period, and invokes rcu_sched_qs() to supply that quiescent state if so.
Note that the check is racy in that we might be migrated to some other
CPU just after checking the per-CPU variable. This is OK because the
act of migration will do a context switch, which will supply the needed
quiescent state. The only downside is that we might do an unnecessary
call to rcu_sched_qs(), but the probability is low and the overhead
is small.

Currently, synchronize_sched_expedited_wait() simply sets the ndetected
variable to the rcu_print_task_exp_stall() return value. This means
that if the last rcu_node structure has no stalled tasks, record of
any stalled tasks in previous rcu_node structures is lost, which can
in turn result in failure to dump out the blocking rcu_node structures.
Or could, had the test been correct.
This commit therefore adds the return value of rcu_print_task_exp_stall()
to ndetected and corrects the later test for ndetected.

Currently, sync_sched_exp_handler() will force a reschedule unless
this CPU has already checked in or unless a reschedule has already
been called for. This is clearly wasteful if sync_sched_exp_handler()
interrupted an idle CPU, so this commit immediately reports the
quiescent state in that case.

A new task's util_avg is set to full utilization of a CPU (100% time
running). This accelerates a new task's utilization ramp-up, useful to
boost its execution in early time. However, it may result in
(insanely) high utilization for a transient time period when a flood
of tasks are spawned. Importantly, it violates the "fundamentally
bounded" CPU utilization, and its side effect is negative if we don't
take any measure to bound it.
This patch proposes an algorithm to address this issue. It has
two methods to approach a sensible initial util_avg:
(1) An expected (or average) util_avg based on its cfs_rq's util_avg:
util_avg = cfs_rq->util_avg / (cfs_rq->load_avg + 1) * se.load.weight
(2) A trajectory of how successive new tasks' util develops, which
gives 1/2 of the left utilization budget to a new task such that
the additional util is noticeably large (when overall util is low) or
unnoticeably small (when overall util is high enough). In the meantime,
the aggregate utilization is well bounded:
util_avg_cap = (1024 - cfs_rq->avg.util_avg) / 2^n
where n denotes the nth task.
If util_avg is larger than util_avg_cap, then the effective util is
clamped to the util_avg_cap.

As I'm tracing preemption disabled, it seemed incorrect that the trace
would go across a schedule and report not being in the scheduler.
Looking into this I discovered the problem.
schedule() calls preempt_disable() but the preempt_schedule() calls
preempt_enable_notrace(). What happened above was that the gnome-shell
task was preempted on another CPU, migrated over to the idle cpu. The
tracer stared with idle calling schedule(), which called
preempt_disable(), but then gnome-shell finished, and it enabled
preemption with preempt_enable_notrace() that does stop the trace, even
though preemption was enabled.
The purpose of the preempt_disable_notrace() in the preempt_schedule()
is to prevent function tracing from going into an infinite loop.
Because function tracing can trace the preempt_enable/disable() calls
that are traced. The problem with function tracing is:
NEED_RESCHED set
preempt_schedule()
preempt_disable()
preempt_count_inc()
function trace (before incrementing preempt count)
preempt_disable_notrace()
preempt_enable_notrace()
sees NEED_RESCHED set
preempt_schedule() (repeat)
Now by breaking out the preempt off/on tracing into their own code:
preempt_disable_check() and preempt_enable_check(), we can add these to
the preempt_schedule() code. As preemption would then be disabled, even
if they were to be traced by the function tracer, the disabled
preemption would prevent the recursion.

To force a task migration during active balancing, nr_balance_failed is set
to cache_nice_tries + 1. However nr_balance_failed is not reset. As a side
effect, the next regular load balance under the same sd, a cache hot task
might be migrated, just because nr_balance_failed count is high.
Resetting nr_balance_failed after a successful active balance ensures
that a hot task is not unreasonably migrated. This can be verified by
looking at othe number of hot task migrations reported by /proc/schedstat.

Convert perf_output_begin() to __perf_output_begin() and make the later
function able to write records from the end of the ring-buffer.
Following commits will utilize the 'backward' flag.
This is the core patch to support writing to the ring-buffer backwards,
which will be introduced by upcoming patches to support reading from
overwritable ring-buffers.
In theory, this patch should not introduce any extra performance
overhead since we use always_inline, but it does not hurt to double
check that assumption:
When CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING is disabled, the output object is nearly
identical to original one. See:
http://lkml.kernel.org/g/56F52E83.70409@huawei.com
When CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING is enabled, the resuling object file becomes
smaller:
$ size kernel/events/ring_buffer.o*
text data bss dec hex filename
4641 4 8 4653 122d kernel/events/ring_buffer.o.old
4545 4 8 4557 11cd kernel/events/ring_buffer.o.new
Performance testing results:
Calling 3000000 times of 'close(-1)', use gettimeofday() to check
duration. Use 'perf record -o /dev/null -e raw_syscalls:*' to capture
system calls. In ns.
Testing environment:
CPU : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz
Kernel : v4.5.0
MEAN STDVAR
BASE 800214.950 2853.083
PRE 2253846.700 9997.014
POST 2257495.540 8516.293
Where 'BASE' is pure performance without capturing. 'PRE' is test
result of pure 'v4.5.0' kernel. 'POST' is test result after this
patch.
Considering the stdvar, this patch doesn't hurt performance, within
noise margin.

Set a default event->overflow_handler in perf_event_alloc() so don't
need to check event->overflow_handler in __perf_event_overflow().
Following commits can give a different default overflow_handler.
Initial idea comes from Peter:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130708121557.GA17211@twins.programming.kicks-ass.net
Since the default value of event->overflow_handler is not NULL, existing
'if (!overflow_handler)' checks need to be changed.
is_default_overflow_handler() is introduced for this.
No extra performance overhead is introduced into the hot path because in the
original code we still need to read this handler from memory. A conditional
branch is avoided so actually we remove some instructions.

ring-buffer
Add new ioctl() to pause/resume ring-buffer output.
In some situations we want to read from the ring-buffer only when we
ensure nothing can write to the ring-buffer during reading. Without
this patch we have to turn off all events attached to this ring-buffer
to achieve this.
This patch is a prerequisite to enable overwrite support for the
perf ring-buffer support. Following commits will introduce new methods
support reading from overwrite ring buffer. Before reading, caller
must ensure the ring buffer is frozen, or the reading is unreliable.

In order to ensure safe AUX buffer management, we rely on the assumption
that pmu::stop() stops its ongoing AUX transaction and not just the hw.

Now that we can ensure that when ring buffer's AUX area is on the way
to getting unmapped new transactions won't start, we only need to stop
all events that can potentially be writing aux data to our ring buffer.
Having done that, we can safely free the AUX pages and corresponding
PMU data, as this time it is guaranteed to be the last aux reference
holder.
This partially reverts:
57ffc5ca679 ("perf: Fix AUX buffer refcounting")
... which was made to defer deallocation that was otherwise possible
from an NMI context. Now it is no longer the case; the last call to
rb_free_aux() that drops the last AUX reference has to happen in
perf_mmap_close() on that AUX area.

When ring buffer's AUX area is unmapped and rb->aux_mmap_count drops to
zero, new AUX transactions into this buffer can still be started,
even though the buffer in en route to deallocation.
This patch adds a check to perf_aux_output_begin() for rb->aux_mmap_count
being zero, in which case there is no point starting new transactions,
in other words, the ring buffers that pass a certain point in
perf_mmap_close will not have their events sending new data, which
clears path for freeing those buffers' pages right there and then,
provided that no active transactions are holding the AUX reference.

There should (and can) only be a single PMU for perf_hw_context
events.
This is because of how we schedule events: once a hardware event fails to
schedule (the PMU is 'full') we stop trying to add more. The trivial
'fix' would break the Round-Robin scheduling we do.

Fix this by always updating time if EVENT_TIME was set, as opposed to
only updating time when EVENT_TIME changed.

This patch functionally reverts:
5fd7a09cfb8c ("atomic: Export fetch_or()")
During the merge Linus observed that the generic version of fetch_or()
was messy:
" This makes the ugly "fetch_or()" macro that the scheduler used
internally a new generic helper, and does a bad job at it. "
e23604edac2a Merge branch 'timers-nohz-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Now that we have introduced atomic_fetch_or(), fetch_or() is only used
by the scheduler in order to deal with thread_info flags which type
can vary across architectures.
Lets confine fetch_or() back to the scheduler so that we encourage
future users to use the more robust and well typed atomic_t version
instead.
While at it, fetch_or() gets robustified, pasting improvements from a
previous patch by Ingo Molnar that avoids needless expression
re-evaluations in the loop.

The tick dependency mask was intially unsigned long because this is the
type on which clear_bit() operates on and fetch_or() accepts it.
But now that we have atomic_fetch_or(), we can instead use
atomic_andnot() to clear the bit. This consolidates the type of our
tick dependency mask, reduce its size on structures and benefit from
possible architecture optimizations on atomic_t operations.

KASAN needs to know whether the allocation happens in an IRQ handler.
This lets us strip everything below the IRQ entry point to reduce the
number of unique stack traces needed to be stored.
Move the definition of __irq_entry to <linux/interrupt.h> so that the
users don't need to pull in <linux/ftrace.h>. Also introduce the
__softirq_entry macro which is similar to __irq_entry, but puts the
corresponding functions to the .softirqentry.text section.

When oom_reaper manages to unmap all the eligible vmas there shouldn't
be much of the freable memory held by the oom victim left anymore so it
makes sense to clear the TIF_MEMDIE flag for the victim and allow the
OOM killer to select another task.
The lack of TIF_MEMDIE also means that the victim cannot access memory
reserves anymore but that shouldn't be a problem because it would get
the access again if it needs to allocate and hits the OOM killer again
due to the fatal_signal_pending resp. PF_EXITING check. We can safely
hide the task from the OOM killer because it is clearly not a good
candidate anymore as everyhing reclaimable has been torn down already.
This patch will allow to cap the time an OOM victim can keep TIF_MEMDIE
and thus hold off further global OOM killer actions granted the oom
reaper is able to take mmap_sem for the associated mm struct. This is
not guaranteed now but further steps should make sure that mmap_sem for
write should be blocked killable which will help to reduce such a lock
contention. This is not done by this patch.
Note that exit_oom_victim might be called on a remote task from
__oom_reap_task now so we have to check and clear the flag atomically
otherwise we might race and underflow oom_victims or wake up waiters too
early.
