commit 9a574ea9069be30b835a3da772c039993c43369b upstream.

Commit 71fee48f ("tick-sched: Fix idle and iowait sleeptime accounting vs
CPU hotplug") preserved total idle sleep time and iowait sleeptime across
CPU hotplug events.

Similar reasoning applies to the number of idle calls and idle sleeps to
get the proper average of sleep time per idle invocation.

Preserve those fields too.

commit 71fee48fb772ac4f6cfa63dbebc5629de8b4cc09 upstream.

When offlining and onlining CPUs the overall reported idle and iowait
times as reported by /proc/stat jump backward and forward:

cpu  132 0 176 225249 47 6 6 21 0 0
cpu0 80 0 115 112575 33 3 4 18 0 0
cpu1 52 0 60 112673 13 3 1 2 0 0

cpu  133 0 177 226681 47 6 6 21 0 0
cpu0 80 0 116 113387 33 3 4 18 0 0

cpu  133 0 178 114431 33 6 6 21 0 0 &lt;---- jump backward
cpu0 80 0 116 114247 33 3 4 18 0 0
cpu1 52 0 61 183 0 3 1 2 0 0        &lt;---- idle + iowait start with 0

cpu  133 0 178 228956 47 6 6 21 0 0 &lt;---- jump forward
cpu0 81 0 117 114929 33 3 4 18 0 0

Reason for this is that get_idle_time() in fs/proc/stat.c has different
sources for both values depending on if a CPU is online or offline:

- if a CPU is online the values may be taken from its per cpu
  tick_cpu_sched structure

- if a CPU is offline the values are taken from its per cpu cpustat
  structure

The problem is that the per cpu tick_cpu_sched structure is set to zero on
CPU offline. See tick_cancel_sched_timer() in kernel/time/tick-sched.c.

Therefore when a CPU is brought offline and online afterwards both its idle
and iowait sleeptime will be zero, causing a jump backward in total system
idle and iowait sleeptime. In a similar way if a CPU is then brought
offline again the total idle and iowait sleeptimes will jump forward.

It looks like this behavior was introduced with commit 4b0c0f294f60
("tick: Cleanup NOHZ per cpu data on cpu down").

This was only noticed now on s390, since we switched to generic idle time
reporting with commit be76ea614460 ("s390/idle: remove arch_cpu_idle_time()
and corresponding code").

Fix this by preserving the values of idle_sleeptime and iowait_sleeptime
members of the per-cpu tick_sched structure on CPU hotplug.

<title>timers/nohz: Switch to ONESHOT_STOPPED in the low-res handler when the tick is stopped</title>

commit 62c1256d544747b38e77ca9b5bfe3a26f9592576 upstream.

When tick_nohz_stop_tick() stops the tick and high resolution timers are
disabled, then the clock event device is not put into ONESHOT_STOPPED
mode. This can lead to spurious timer interrupts with some clock event
device drivers that don't shut down entirely after firing.

Eliminate these by putting the device into ONESHOT_STOPPED mode at points
where it is not being reprogrammed. When there are no timers active, then
tick_program_event() with KTIME_MAX can be used to stop the device. When
there is a timer active, the device can be stopped at the next tick (any
new timer added by timers will reprogram the tick).

commit a1ff03cd6fb9c501fff63a4a2bface9adcfa81cd upstream.

On some rare cases, the timekeeper CPU may be delaying its jiffies
update duty for a while. Known causes include:

* The timekeeper is waiting on stop_machine in a MULTI_STOP_DISABLE_IRQ
  or MULTI_STOP_RUN state. Disabled interrupts prevent from timekeeping
  updates while waiting for the target CPU to complete its
  stop_machine() callback.

* The timekeeper vcpu has VMEXIT'ed for a long while due to some overload
  on the host.

Detect and fix these situations with emergency timekeeping catchups.

commit 13bb06f8dd42071cb9a49f6e21099eea05d4b856 upstream.

The tick period is aligned very early while the first clock_event_device is
registered. At that point the system runs in periodic mode and switches
later to one-shot mode if possible.

The next wake-up event is programmed based on the aligned value
(tick_next_period) but the delta value, that is used to program the
clock_event_device, is computed based on ktime_get().

With the subtracted offset, the device fires earlier than the exact time
frame. With a large enough offset the system programs the timer for the
next wake-up and the remaining time left is too small to make any boot
progress. The system hangs.

Move the alignment later to the setup of tick_sched timer. At this point
the system switches to oneshot mode and a high resolution clocksource is
available. At this point it is safe to align tick_next_period because
ktime_get() will now return accurate (not jiffies based) time.

[ Upstream commit b996544916429946bf4934c1c01a306d1690972c ]

The variable tick_period is initialized to NSEC_PER_TICK / HZ during boot
and never updated again.

If NSEC_PER_TICK is not an integer multiple of HZ this computation is less
accurate than TICK_NSEC which has proper rounding in place.

Aside of the inaccuracy there is no reason for having this variable at
all. It's just a pointless indirection and all usage sites can just use the
TICK_NSEC constant.

[ Upstream commit 7a35bf2a6a871cd0252cd371d741e7d070b53af9 ]

Now that it's clear that there is always one tick to account, simplify the
calculations some more.

[ Upstream commit 94ad2e3cedb82af034f6d97c58022f162b669f9b ]

If jiffies are up to date already (caller lost the race against another
CPU) there is no point to change the sequence count. Doing that just forces
other CPUs into the seqcount retry loop in tick_nohz_next_event() for
nothing.

Just bail out early.

[ Upstream commit 372acbbaa80940189593f9d69c7c069955f24f7a ]

No point in doing calculations.

   tick_next_period = last_jiffies_update + tick_period

Just check whether now is before tick_next_period to figure out whether
jiffies need an update.

Add a comment why the intentional data race in the quick check is safe or
not so safe in a 32bit corner case and why we don't worry about it.

[ Upstream commit db7b464df9d820186e98a65aa6a10f0d51fbf8ce ]

This commit adds checks for the TICK_DEP_MASK_RCU_EXP bit, thus enabling
RCU expedited grace periods to actually force-enable scheduling-clock
interrupts on holdout CPUs.
