commit 8707898e22fd665bc1d7b18b809be4b56ce25bdd upstream.

A kernel hang can be observed when running setserial in a loop on a kernel
with force threaded interrupts. The sequence of events is:

   setserial
     open("/dev/ttyXXX")
       request_irq()
     do_stuff()
      -&gt; serial interrupt
         -&gt; wake(irq_thread)
	      desc-&gt;threads_active++;
     close()
       free_irq()
         kthread_stop(irq_thread)
     synchronize_irq() &lt;- hangs because desc-&gt;threads_active != 0

The thread is created in request_irq() and woken up, but does not get on a
CPU to reach the actual thread function, which would handle the pending
wake-up. kthread_stop() sets the should stop condition which makes the
thread immediately exit, which in turn leaves the stale threads_active
count around.

This problem was introduced with commit 519cc8652b3a, which addressed a
interrupt sharing issue in the PCIe code.

Before that commit free_irq() invoked synchronize_irq(), which waits for
the hard interrupt handler and also for associated threads to complete.

To address the PCIe issue synchronize_irq() was replaced with
__synchronize_hardirq(), which only waits for the hard interrupt handler to
complete, but not for threaded handlers.

This was done under the assumption, that the interrupt thread already
reached the thread function and waits for a wake-up, which is guaranteed to
be handled before acting on the stop condition. The problematic case, that
the thread would not reach the thread function, was obviously overlooked.

Make sure that the interrupt thread is really started and reaches
thread_fn() before returning from __setup_irq().

This utilizes the existing wait queue in the interrupt descriptor. The
wait queue is unused for non-shared interrupts. For shared interrupts the
usage might cause a spurious wake-up of a waiter in synchronize_irq() or the
completion of a threaded handler might cause a spurious wake-up of the
waiter for the ready flag. Both are harmless and have no functional impact.

commit 2c33d775ef4c25c0e1e1cc0fd5496d02f76bfa20 upstream.

Mark the CLOCK_MONOTONIC fast time accessors as notrace. These functions are
used in tracing to retrieve timestamps, so they should not recurse.

<title>perf/core: Fix perf_mmap fail when CONFIG_PERF_USE_VMALLOC enabled</title>

[ Upstream commit 60490e7966659b26d74bf1fa4aa8693d9a94ca88 ]

This problem can be reproduced with CONFIG_PERF_USE_VMALLOC enabled on
both x86_64 and aarch64 arch when using sysdig -B(using ebpf)[1].
sysdig -B works fine after rebuilding the kernel with
CONFIG_PERF_USE_VMALLOC disabled.

I tracked it down to the if condition event-&gt;rb-&gt;nr_pages != nr_pages
in perf_mmap is true when CONFIG_PERF_USE_VMALLOC is enabled where
event-&gt;rb-&gt;nr_pages = 1 and nr_pages = 2048 resulting perf_mmap to
return -EINVAL. This is because when CONFIG_PERF_USE_VMALLOC is
enabled, rb-&gt;nr_pages is always equal to 1.

Arch with CONFIG_PERF_USE_VMALLOC enabled by default:
	arc/arm/csky/mips/sh/sparc/xtensa

Arch with CONFIG_PERF_USE_VMALLOC disabled by default:
	x86_64/aarch64/...

Fix this problem by using data_page_nr()

[ Upstream commit 40f5aa4c5eaebfeaca4566217cb9c468e28ed682 ]

The warning in cfs_rq_is_decayed() triggered:

    SCHED_WARN_ON(cfs_rq-&gt;avg.load_avg ||
		  cfs_rq-&gt;avg.util_avg ||
		  cfs_rq-&gt;avg.runnable_avg)

There exists a corner case in attach_entity_load_avg() which will
cause load_sum to be zero while load_avg will not be.

Consider se_weight is 88761 as per the sched_prio_to_weight[] table.
Further assume the get_pelt_divider() is 47742, this gives:
se-&gt;avg.load_avg is 1.

However, calculating load_sum:

  se-&gt;avg.load_sum = div_u64(se-&gt;avg.load_avg * se-&gt;avg.load_sum, se_weight(se));
  se-&gt;avg.load_sum = 1*47742/88761 = 0.

Then enqueue_load_avg() adds this to the cfs_rq totals:

  cfs_rq-&gt;avg.load_avg += se-&gt;avg.load_avg;
  cfs_rq-&gt;avg.load_sum += se_weight(se) * se-&gt;avg.load_sum;

Resulting in load_avg being 1 with load_sum is 0, which will trigger
the WARN.

     do_syscall_64+0x44/0x90
     entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae

Fix it by using kasan_record_aux_stack_noalloc() to avoid the call to
alloc_pages().

<title>cpu/hotplug: Remove the 'cpu' member of cpuhp_cpu_state</title>

commit b7ba6d8dc3569e49800ef0136799f26f43e237e8 upstream.

Currently the setting of the 'cpu' member of struct cpuhp_cpu_state in
cpuhp_create() is too late as it is used earlier in _cpu_up().

If kzalloc_node() in __smpboot_create_thread() fails then the rollback will
be done with st-&gt;cpu==0 causing CPU0 to be erroneously set to be dying,
causing the scheduler to get mightily confused and throw its toys out of
the pram.

However the cpu number is actually available directly, so simply remove
the 'cpu' member and avoid the problem in the first place.

<title>dma-direct: avoid redundant memory sync for swiotlb</title>

commit 9e02977bfad006af328add9434c8bffa40e053bb upstream.

When we looked into FIO performance with swiotlb enabled in VM, we found
swiotlb_bounce() is always called one more time than expected for each DMA
read request.

It turns out that the bounce buffer is copied to original DMA buffer twice
after the completion of a DMA request (one is done by in
dma_direct_sync_single_for_cpu(), the other by swiotlb_tbl_unmap_single()).
But the content in bounce buffer actually doesn't change between the two
rounds of copy. So, one round of copy is redundant.

Pass DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC flag to swiotlb_tbl_unmap_single() to
skip the memory copy in it.

This fix increases FIO 64KB sequential read throughput in a guest with
swiotlb=force by 5.6%.

commit c54bc0fc84214b203f7a0ebfd1bd308ce2abe920 upstream.

When the timer base is empty, base::next_expiry is set to base::clk +
NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA and base::next_expiry_recalc is false. When no timer
is queued until jiffies reaches base::next_expiry value, the warning for
not finding any expired timer and base::next_expiry_recalc is false in
__run_timers() triggers.

To prevent triggering the warning in this valid scenario
base::timers_pending needs to be added to the warning condition.

<title>smp: Fix offline cpu check in flush_smp_call_function_queue()</title>

commit 9e949a3886356fe9112c6f6f34a6e23d1d35407f upstream.

The check in flush_smp_call_function_queue() for callbacks that are sent
to offline CPUs currently checks whether the queue is empty.

However, flush_smp_call_function_queue() has just deleted all the
callbacks from the queue and moved all the entries into a local list.
This checks would only be positive if some callbacks were added in the
short time after llist_del_all() was called. This does not seem to be
the intention of this check.

Change the check to look at the local list to which the entries were
moved instead of the queue from which all the callbacks were just
removed.

<title>tick/nohz: Use WARN_ON_ONCE() to prevent console saturation</title>

commit 40e97e42961f8c6cc7bd5fe67cc18417e02d78f1 upstream.

While running some testing on code that happened to allow the variable
tick_nohz_full_running to get set but with no "possible" NOHZ cores to
back up that setting, this warning triggered:

        if (unlikely(tick_do_timer_cpu == TICK_DO_TIMER_NONE))
                WARN_ON(tick_nohz_full_running);

The console was overwhemled with an endless stream of one WARN per tick
per core and there was no way to even see what was going on w/o using a
serial console to capture it and then trace it back to this.

Change it to WARN_ON_ONCE().
