The HAVE_ prefix means that the code could be enabled. Add another
variable for HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH without this prefix.
It will be set when it should be built. It will make it compatible
with the other hardlockup detectors.
The change allows to clean up dependencies of PPC_WATCHDOG
and HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF definitions for powerpc.
As a result HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF has the same dependencies
on arm, x86, powerpc architectures.

The HAVE_ prefix means that the code could be enabled. Add another
variable for HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_SPARC64 without this prefix.
It will be set when it should be built. It will make it compatible
with the other hardlockup detectors.
Before, it is far from obvious that the SPARC64 variant is actually used:
$> make ARCH=sparc64 defconfig
$> grep HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR .config
CONFIG_HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_BUDDY=y
CONFIG_HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_SPARC64=y
After, it is more clear:
$> make ARCH=sparc64 defconfig
$> grep HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR .config
CONFIG_HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_BUDDY=y
CONFIG_HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_SPARC64=y
CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_SPARC64=y

There are several hardlockup detector implementations and several Kconfig
values which allow selection and build of the preferred one.
CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR was introduced by the commit 23637d477c1f53acb
("lockup_detector: Introduce CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR") in v2.6.36.
It was a preparation step for introducing the new generic perf hardlockup
detector.
The existing arch-specific variants did not support the to-be-created
generic build configurations, sysctl interface, etc. This distinction
was made explicit by the commit 4a7863cc2eb5f98 ("x86, nmi_watchdog:
Remove ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG and rely on CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR")
in v2.6.38.
CONFIG_HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG was introduced by the commit d314d74c695f967e105
("nmi watchdog: do not use cpp symbol in Kconfig") in v3.4-rc1. It replaced
the above mentioned ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG. At that time, it was still used
by three architectures, namely blackfin, mn10300, and sparc.
The support for blackfin and mn10300 architectures has been completely
dropped some time ago. And sparc is the only architecture with the historic
NMI watchdog at the moment.
And the old sparc implementation is really special. It is always built on
sparc64. It used to be always enabled until the commit 7a5c8b57cec93196b
("sparc: implement watchdog_nmi_enable and watchdog_nmi_disable") added
in v4.10-rc1.
There are only few locations where the sparc64 NMI watchdog interacts
with the generic hardlockup detectors code:
+ implements arch_touch_nmi_watchdog() which is called from the generic
touch_nmi_watchdog()
+ implements watchdog_hardlockup_enable()/disable() to support
/proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
+ is always preferred over other generic watchdogs, see
CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR
+ includes asm/nmi.h into linux/nmi.h because some sparc-specific
functions are needed in sparc-specific code which includes
only linux/nmi.h.
The situation became more complicated after the commit 05a4a95279311c3
("kernel/watchdog: split up config options") and commit 2104180a53698df5
("powerpc/64s: implement arch-specific hardlockup watchdog") in v4.13-rc1.
They introduced HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH. It was used for powerpc
specific hardlockup detector. It was compatible with the perf one
regarding the general boot, sysctl, and programming interfaces.
HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH was defined as a superset of
HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG. It made some sense because all arch-specific
detectors had some common requirements, namely:
+ implemented arch_touch_nmi_watchdog()
+ included asm/nmi.h into linux/nmi.h
+ defined the default value for /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
But it actually has made things pretty complicated when the generic
buddy hardlockup detector was added. Before the generic perf detector
was newer supported together with an arch-specific one. But the buddy
detector could work on any SMP system. It means that an architecture
could support both the arch-specific and buddy detector.
As a result, there are few tricky dependencies. For example,
CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR depends on:
((HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF || HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_BUDDY) && !HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG) || HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH
The problem is that the very special sparc implementation is defined as:
HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG && !HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH
Another problem is that the meaning of HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG is far from clear
without reading understanding the history.
Make the logic less tricky and more self-explanatory by making
HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG specific for the sparc64 implementation. And rename it to
HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_SPARC64.
Note that HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PREFER_BUDDY, HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF,
and HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_BUDDY may conflict only with
HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH. They depend on HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR
and it is not longer enabled when HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG is set.

There are four possible variants of hardlockup detectors:
+ buddy: available when SMP is set.
+ perf: available when HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF is set.
+ arch-specific: available when HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH is set.
+ sparc64 special variant: available when HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG is set
and HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH is not set.
The check for the sparc64 variant is more complicated because
HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG is used to #ifdef code used by both arch-specific
and sparc64 specific variant. Therefore it is automatically
selected with HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH.
This complexity is partly hidden in HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_NON_ARCH.
It reduces the size of some checks but it makes them harder to follow.
Finally, the other temporary variable HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_NON_ARCH
is used to re-compute HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF/BUDDY when the global
HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR switch is enabled/disabled.
Make the logic more straightforward by the following changes:
+ Better explain the role of HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH and
HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG in comments.
+ Add HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_BUDDY so that there is separate
HAVE_* for all four hardlockup detector variants.
Use it in the other conditions instead of SMP. It makes it
clear that it is about the buddy detector.
+ Open code HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_NON_ARCH in HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR
and HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PREFER_BUDDY. It helps to understand
the conditions between the four hardlockup detector variants.
+ Define the exact conditions when HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF/BUDDY
can be enabled. It explains the dependency on the other
hardlockup detector variants.
Also it allows to remove HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_NON_ARCH by using "imply".
It triggers re-evaluating HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF/BUDDY when
the global HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR switch is changed.
+ Add dependency on HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR so that the affected variables
disappear when the hardlockup detectors are disabled.
Another nice side effect is that HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PREFER_BUDDY
value is not preserved when the global switch is disabled.
The user has to make the decision again when it gets re-enabled.

logical way
Patch series "watchdog/hardlockup: Cleanup configuration of hardlockup
detectors", v2.
Clean up watchdog Kconfig after introducing the buddy detector.
This patch (of 6):
There are four possible variants of hardlockup detectors:
+ buddy: available when SMP is set.
+ perf: available when HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF is set.
+ arch-specific: available when HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH is set.
+ sparc64 special variant: available when HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG is set
and HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH is not set.
Only one hardlockup detector can be compiled in. The selection is done
using quite complex dependencies between several CONFIG variables.
The following patches will try to make it more straightforward.
As a first step, reorder the definitions of the various CONFIG variables.
The logical order is:
1. HAVE_* variables define available variants. They are typically
defined in the arch/ config files.
2. HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR y/n variable defines whether the hardlockup
detector is enabled at all.
3. HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PREFER_BUDDY y/n variable defines whether
the buddy detector should be preferred over the perf one.
Note that the arch specific variants are always preferred when
available.
4. HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF/BUDDY variables define whether the given
detector is enabled in the end.
5. HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_NON_ARCH and HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_NON_ARCH
are temporary variables that are going to be removed in
a followup patch.
This is a preparation step for further cleanup. It will change the logic
without shuffling the definitions.
This change temporary breaks the C-like ordering where the variables are
declared or defined before they are used. It is not really needed for
Kconfig. Also the following patches will rework the logic so that
the ordering will be C-like in the end.
The patch just shuffles the definitions. It should not change the existing
behavior.

The dependency for HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PREFER_BUDDY was more complicated
than it needed to be. If the "perf" detector is available and we have SMP
then we have a choice, so enable the config based on just those two config
items.

Implement a hardlockup detector that doesn't doesn't need any extra
arch-specific support code to detect lockups. Instead of using something
arch-specific we will use the buddy system, where each CPU watches out for
another one. Specifically, each CPU will use its softlockup hrtimer to
check that the next CPU is processing hrtimer interrupts by verifying that
a counter is increasing.
NOTE: unlike the other hard lockup detectors, the buddy one can't easily
show what's happening on the CPU that locked up just by doing a simple
backtrace. It relies on some other mechanism in the system to get
information about the locked up CPUs. This could be support for NMI
backtraces like [1], it could be a mechanism for printing the PC of locked
CPUs at panic time like [2] / [3], or it could be something else. Even
though that means we still rely on arch-specific code, this arch-specific
code seems to often be implemented even on architectures that don't have a
hardlockup detector.
This style of hardlockup detector originated in some downstream Android
trees and has been rebased on / carried in ChromeOS trees for quite a long
time for use on arm and arm64 boards. Historically on these boards we've
leveraged mechanism [2] / [3] to get information about hung CPUs, but we
could move to [1].
Although the original motivation for the buddy system was for use on
systems without an arch-specific hardlockup detector, it can still be
useful to use even on systems that _do_ have an arch-specific hardlockup
detector. On x86, for instance, there is a 24-part patch series [4] in
progress switching the arch-specific hard lockup detector from a scarce
perf counter to a less-scarce hardware resource. Potentially the buddy
system could be a simpler alternative to free up the perf counter but
still get hard lockup detection.
Overall, pros (+) and cons (-) of the buddy system compared to an
arch-specific hardlockup detector (which might be implemented using
perf):
+ The buddy system is usable on systems that don't have an
arch-specific hardlockup detector, like arm32 and arm64 (though it's
being worked on for arm64 [5]).
+ The buddy system may free up scarce hardware resources.
+ If a CPU totally goes out to lunch (can't process NMIs) the buddy
system could still detect the problem (though it would be unlikely
to be able to get a stack trace).
+ The buddy system uses the same timer function to pet the hardlockup
detector on the running CPU as it uses to detect hardlockups on
other CPUs. Compared to other hardlockup detectors, this means it
generates fewer interrupts and thus is likely better able to let
CPUs stay idle longer.
- If all CPUs are hard locked up at the same time the buddy system
can't detect it.
- If we don't have SMP we can't use the buddy system.
- The buddy system needs an arch-specific mechanism (possibly NMI
backtrace) to get info about the locked up CPU.

The test code is less useful without debug, but can still do general
validations. Define mt_dump(), mas_dump() and mas_wr_dump() as a noop if
debug is not enabled and document it in the test module information that
more information can be obtained with another kernel config option.
MT_BUG_ON() will report a failures without tree dumps, and the output will
be less useful.

1) Add special case for len == 40 as that is the hottest value. The
nets a ~8-9% latency improvement and a ~30% throughput improvement
in the len == 40 case.
2) Use multiple accumulators in the 64-byte loop. This dramatically
improves ILP and results in up to a 40% latency/throughput
improvement (better for more iterations).

There is no such thing as a free lunch, however, and the special case
for len == 40 does add overhead to the len != 40 cases. This seems to
amount to be ~5% throughput and slightly less in terms of latency.
Testing:
Part of this change is a new kunit test. The tests check all
alignment X length pairs in [0, 64) X [0, 512).
There are three cases.
1) Precomputed random inputs/seed. The expected results where
generated use the generic implementation (which is assumed to be
non-buggy).
2) An input of all 1s. The goal of this test is to catch any case
a carry is missing.
3) An input that never carries. The goal of this test si to catch
any case of incorrectly carrying.
More exhaustive tests that test all alignment X length pairs in
[0, 8192) X [0, 8192] on random data are also available here:

Workqueue now automatically marks per-cpu work items that hog CPU for too
long as CPU_INTENSIVE, which excludes them from concurrency management and
prevents stalling other concurrency-managed work items. If a work function
keeps running over the thershold, it likely needs to be switched to use an
unbound workqueue.
This patch adds a debug mechanism which tracks the work functions which
trigger the automatic CPU_INTENSIVE mechanism and report them using
pr_warn() with exponential backoff.
v3: Documentation update.
v2: Drop bouncing to kthread_worker for printing messages. It was to avoid
introducing circular locking dependency through printk but not effective
as it still had pool lock -> wci_lock -> printk -> pool lock loop. Let's
just print directly using printk_deferred().

On big systems, the mm refcount can become highly contented when doing a
lot of context switching with threaded applications. user<->idle switch
is one of the important cases. Abandoning lazy tlb entirely slows this
switching down quite a bit in the common uncontended case, so that is not
viable.
Implement a scheme where lazy tlb mm references do not contribute to the
refcount, instead they get explicitly removed when the refcount reaches
zero.
The final mmdrop() sends IPIs to all CPUs in the mm_cpumask and they
switch away from this mm to init_mm if it was being used as the lazy tlb
mm. Enabling the shoot lazies option therefore requires that the arch
ensures that mm_cpumask contains all CPUs that could possibly be using mm.
A DEBUG_VM option IPIs every CPU in the system after this to ensure there
are no references remaining before the mm is freed.
Shootdown IPIs cost could be an issue, but they have not been observed to
be a serious problem with this scheme, because short-lived processes tend
not to migrate CPUs much, therefore they don't get much chance to leave
lazy tlb mm references on remote CPUs. There are a lot of options to
reduce them if necessary, described in comments.
The near-worst-case can be benchmarked with will-it-scale:
context_switch1_threads -t $(($(nproc) / 2))
This will create nproc threads (nproc / 2 switching pairs) all sharing the
same mm that spread over all CPUs so each CPU does thread->idle->thread
switching.
[ Rik came up with basically the same idea a few years ago, so credit
to him for that. ]

where it is more closely associated with boot loaders or automation than

Allow to enforce 64 byte function alignment like it is possible for a

Since the kernel works also with 64 byte function alignment there is

In workloads where this_cpu operations are frequently performed,
enabling DEBUG_PREEMPT may result in significant increase in
runtime overhead due to frequent invocation of
__this_cpu_preempt_check() function.
This can be demonstrated through benchmarks such as hackbench where this
configuration results in a 10% reduction in performance, primarily due to
the added overhead within memcg charging path.
Therefore, do not to enable DEBUG_PREEMPT by default and make users aware
of its potential impact on performance in some workloads.

When working on SoC bring-up, (a full) userspace may not be available,
making it hard to benchmark the CPU performance of the system under
development. Still, one may want to have a rough idea of the (relative)
performance of one or more CPU cores, especially when working on e.g. the
clock driver that controls the CPU core clock(s).
Hence make the classical Dhrystone 2.1 benchmark available as a Linux
kernel test module, based on[1].
When built-in, this benchmark can be run without any userspace present.
Parallel runs (run on multiple CPU cores) are supported, just kick the
"run" file multiple times.
Note that the actual figures depend on the configuration options that
control compiler optimization (e.g. CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE vs.
CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE), and on the compiler options used when
building the kernel in general. Hence numbers may differ from those
obtained by running similar benchmarks in userspace.

CPUs ignoring NMIs is often a sign of those CPUs going bad, but there
are quite a few other reasons why a CPU might ignore NMIs. Therefore,
accumulate evidence within exc_nmi() as to what might be preventing a
given CPU from responding to an NMI.

Version 1.24 of pahole has the capability to exclude compilation units (CUs)
of specific languages [1] [2]. Rust, as of writing, is not currently supported
by pahole and if it's used with a build that has BTF debugging enabled it
results in malformed kernel and module binaries [3]. So it's better for pahole
to exclude Rust CUs until support for it arrives.

Pull x86 core updates from Borislav Petkov:
- Add the call depth tracking mitigation for Retbleed which has been
long in the making. It is a lighterweight software-only fix for
Skylake-based cores where enabling IBRS is a big hammer and causes a
significant performance impact.
What it basically does is, it aligns all kernel functions to 16 bytes
boundary and adds a 16-byte padding before the function, objtool
collects all functions' locations and when the mitigation gets
applied, it patches a call accounting thunk which is used to track
the call depth of the stack at any time.
When that call depth reaches a magical, microarchitecture-specific
value for the Return Stack Buffer, the code stuffs that RSB and
avoids its underflow which could otherwise lead to the Intel variant
of Retbleed.
This software-only solution brings a lot of the lost performance
back, as benchmarks suggest:

- David Hildenbrand reworked the GUP code's R/O long-term pinning so
that drivers no longer need to use the FOLL_FORCE workaround which
didn't work very well anyway
- Mel Gorman altered the page allocator so that local IRQs can remnain
enabled during per-cpu page allocations
- Vishal Moola removed the try_to_release_page() wrapper
- Stefan Roesch added some per-BDI sysfs tunables which are used to
prevent network block devices from dirtying excessive amounts of
pagecache
- David Hildenbrand did some cleanup and repair work on KSM COW
breaking
- Nhat Pham and Johannes Weiner have implemented writeback in zswap's
zsmalloc backend
- Brian Foster has fixed a longstanding corner-case oddity in
file[map]_write_and_wait_range()
- sparse-vmemmap changes for MIPS, LoongArch and NIOS2 from Feiyang
Chen
- Shiyang Ruan has done some work on fsdax, to make its reflink mode
work better under xfstests. Better, but still not perfect
- Christoph Hellwig has removed the .writepage() method from several
filesystems. They only need .writepages()
- Yosry Ahmed wrote a series which fixes the memcg reclaim target
beancounting
- David Hildenbrand has fixed some of our MM selftests for 32-bit
machines
- Many singleton patches, as usual
