Calvin reported an odd NMI watchdog lockup which claims that the CPU locked
up in user space. He provided a reproducer, which sets up a timerfd based
timer and then rearms it in a loop with an absolute expiry time of 1ns.
As the expiry time is in the past, the timer ends up as the first expiring
timer in the per CPU hrtimer base and the clockevent device is programmed
with the minimum delta value. If the machine is fast enough, this ends up
in a endless loop of programming the delta value to the minimum value
defined by the clock event device, before the timer interrupt can fire,
which starves the interrupt and consequently triggers the lockup detector
because the hrtimer callback of the lockup mechanism is never invoked.
As a first step to prevent this, avoid reprogramming the clock event device
when:
- a forced minimum delta event is pending
- the new expiry delta is less then or equal to the minimum delta
Thanks to Calvin for providing the reproducer and to Borislav for testing
and providing data from his Zen5 machine.
The problem is not limited to Zen5, but depending on the underlying
clock event device (e.g. TSC deadline timer on Intel) and the CPU speed
not necessarily observable.
This change serves only as the last resort and further changes will be made
to prevent this scenario earlier in the call chain as far as possible.
[ tglx: Updated to restore the old behaviour vs. !force and delta <= 0 and
fixed up the tick-broadcast handlers as pointed out by Borislav ]

The #endif comment says "BITS_PER_LONG >= 64", but the corresponding #if
guard is "BITS_PER_LONG < 64".
The comment was originally correct when the block had a three-way
#if/#else/#endif structure, where the #else branch provided a 64-bit inline
version. Commit 79bf2bb335b8 ("[PATCH] tick-management: dyntick / highres

comment, leaving it inconsistent with the remaining #if condition.
Fix the comment to match the preprocessor guard.

When the hrtimer_interrupt needs to restart more than 3 times and still has
expired timers, the interrupt is considered hung. To give the system a
little time to recover, the hardware timer is programmed a little into the
future.
Prior to commit 288924384856 ("hrtimer: Re-arrange hrtimer_interrupt()"),
this was relative to the amount of time spend serving the interrupt with a
max of 100 msec.
However, in order to simplify, and because this condition 'should' not
happen, the timeout was unconditionally set to 100 msec.
'Obviously' there is a benchmark that hits this hard, by programming a
ton of very short timers :-/
Since reprogramming is decoupled from the interrupt handling, the actual
execution time is lost, however the code does track max_hang_time. Using
that, rather than the 100 ms max restores performance.

undo the extra delay.

When modifying the expiry of a armed timer it is first dequeued, then the
expiry value is updated and then it is queued again.
This can be avoided when the new expiry value is within the range of the
previous and the next timer as that does not change the position in the RB
tree.
The linked timerqueue allows to peak ahead to the neighbours and check
whether the new expiry time is within the range of the previous and next
timer. If so just modify the timer in place and spare the enqueue and
requeue effort, which might end up rotating the RB tree twice for nothing.
This speeds up the handling of frequently rearmed hrtimers, like the hrtick
scheduler timer significantly.

Evaluating the next expiry time of all clock bases is cache line expensive
as the expiry time of the first expiring timer is not cached in the base
and requires to access the timer itself, which is definitely in a different
cache line.
It's way more efficient to keep track of the expiry time on enqueue and
dequeue operations as the relevant data is already in the cache at that
point.

Currently hrtimer_interrupt() runs expired timers, which can re-arm
themselves, after which it computes the next expiration time and
re-programs the hardware.
However, things like HRTICK, a highres timer driving preemption, cannot
re-arm itself at the point of running, since the next task has not been
determined yet. The schedule() in the interrupt return path will switch to
the next task, which then causes a new hrtimer to be programmed.
This then results in reprogramming the hardware at least twice, once after
running the timers, and once upon selecting the new task.
Notably, *both* events happen in the interrupt.
By pushing the hrtimer reprogram all the way into the interrupt return
path, it runs after schedule() picks the new task and the double reprogram
can be avoided.

The upcoming deferred rearming scheme has the same effect as the deferred
rearming when the hrtimer interrupt is executing. So it can reuse the
in_hrtirq flag, but when it gets deferred beyond the hrtimer interrupt
path, then the name does not make sense anymore.
Rename it to deferred_rearm upfront to keep the actual functional change
separate from the mechanical rename churn.

Rework hrtimer_interrupt() such that reprogramming is split out into an
independent function at the end of the interrupt.
This prepares for reprogramming getting delayed beyond the end of
hrtimer_interrupt().
Notably, this changes the hang handling to always wait 100ms instead of
trying to keep it proportional to the actual delay. This simplifies the
state, also this really shouldn't be happening.

The decision to keep a timer which is associated to the local CPU on that
CPU does not take NOHZ information into account. As a result there are a
lot of hrtimer base switch invocations which end up not switching the base
and stay on the local CPU. That's just work for nothing and can be further
improved.
If the local CPU is part of the NOISE housekeeping mask, then check:
1) Whether the local CPU has the tick running, which means it is
either not idle or already expecting a timer soon.
2) Whether the tick is stopped and need_resched() is set, which
means the CPU is about to exit idle.
This reduces the amount of hrtimer base switch attempts, which end up on
the local CPU anyway, significantly and prepares for further optimizations.

The decision whether to keep timers on the local CPU or on the CPU they are
associated to is suboptimal and causes the expensive switch_hrtimer_base()
mechanism to be invoked more than necessary. This is especially true for
pinned timers.
Rewrite the decision logic so that the current base is kept if:
1) The callback is running on the base
2) The timer is associated to the local CPU and the first expiring timer as
that allows to optimize for reprogramming avoidance
3) The timer is associated to the local CPU and pinned
4) The timer is associated to the local CPU and timer migration is
disabled.
Only #2 was covered by the original code, but especially #3 makes a
difference for high frequency rearming timers like the scheduler hrtick
timer. If timer migration is disabled, then #4 avoids most of the base
switches.

All 'u8' flags are true booleans, so make it entirely clear that these can
only contain true or false.
This is especially true for hrtimer::state, which has a historical leftover
of using the state with bitwise operations. That was used in the early
hrtimer implementation with several bits, but then converted to a boolean
state. But that conversion missed to replace the bit OR and bit check
operations all over the place, which creates suboptimal code. As of today
'state' is a misnomer because it's only purpose is to reflect whether the
timer is enqueued into the RB-tree or not. Rename it to 'is_queued' and
make all operations on it boolean.
This reduces text size from 8926 to 8732 bytes.

hrtimer_start() when invoked with an already armed timer traces like:
<comm>-.. [032] d.h2. 5.002263: hrtimer_cancel: hrtimer= ....
<comm>-.. [032] d.h1. 5.002263: hrtimer_start: hrtimer= ....
Which is incorrect as the timer doesn't get canceled. Just the expiry time
changes. The internal dequeue operation which is required for that is not
really interesting for trace analysis. But it makes it tedious to keep real
cancellations and the above case apart.
Remove the cancel tracing in hrtimer_start() and add a 'was_armed'
indicator to the hrtimer start tracepoint, which clearly indicates what the
state of the hrtimer is when hrtimer_start() is invoked:
<comm>-.. [032] d.h1. 6.200103: hrtimer_start: hrtimer= .... was_armed=0
<comm>-.. [032] d.h1. 6.200558: hrtimer_start: hrtimer= .... was_armed=1

The hrtick timer is frequently rearmed before expiry and most of the time
the new expiry is past the armed one. As this happens on every context
switch it becomes expensive with scheduling heavy work loads especially in
virtual machines as the "hardware" reprogamming implies a VM exit.
Add a lazy rearm mode flag which skips the reprogamming if:
1) The timer was the first expiring timer before the rearm
2) The new expiry time is farther out than the armed time
This avoids a massive amount of reprogramming operations of the hrtick
timer for the price of eventually taking the alredy armed interrupt for
nothing.

It turns out that __run_hrtimer() will trace like:
<idle>-0 [032] d.h2. 20705.474563: hrtimer_cancel: hrtimer=0xff2db8f77f8226e8
<idle>-0 [032] d.h1. 20705.474563: hrtimer_expire_entry: hrtimer=0xff2db8f77f8226e8 now=20699452001850 function=tick_nohz_handler/0x0
Which is a bit nonsensical, the timer doesn't get canceled on
expiration. The cause is the use of the incorrect debug helper.

Pull timer core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Prevent a thundering herd problem when the timekeeper CPU is delayed
and a large number of CPUs compete to acquire jiffies_lock to do the
update. Limit it to one CPU with a separate "uncontended" atomic
variable.
- A set of improvements for the timer migration mechanism:
- Support imbalanced NUMA trees correctly
- Support dynamic exclusion of CPUs from the migrator duty to allow
the cpuset/isolation mechanism to exclude them from handling
timers of remote idle CPUs
- The usual small updates, cleanups and enhancements

The hrtimer core uses ktime_t to represent times, use that also for the
restart block. CPU timers internally use nanoseconds instead of ktime_t
but use the same restart block, so use the correct accessors for those.

Pull timer core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Address the inconsistent shutdown sequence of per CPU clockevents on
CPU hotplug, which only removed it from the core but failed to invoke
the actual device driver shutdown callback. This kept the timer
active, which prevented power savings and caused pointless noise in
virtualization.
- Encapsulate the open coded access to the hrtimer clock base, which is
a private implementation detail, so that the implementation can be
changed without breaking a lot of usage sites.
- Enhance the debug output of the clocksource watchdog to provide
better information for analysis.
- The usual set of cleanups and enhancements all over the place

When testing softirq based hrtimers on an ARM32 board, with high resolution
mode and NOHZ inactive, softirq based hrtimers fail to expire after being
moved away from an offline CPU:
CPU0 CPU1
hrtimer_start(..., HRTIMER_MODE_SOFT);
cpu_down(CPU1) ...
hrtimers_cpu_dying()
// Migrate timers to CPU0
smp_call_function_single(CPU0, returgger_next_event);
retrigger_next_event()
if (!highres && !nohz)
return;
As retrigger_next_event() is a NOOP when both high resolution timers and
NOHZ are inactive CPU0's hrtimer_cpu_base::softirq_expires_next is not
updated and the migrated softirq timers never expire unless there is a
softirq based hrtimer queued on CPU0 later.
Fix this by removing the hrtimer_hres_active() and tick_nohz_active() check
in retrigger_next_event(), which enforces a full update of the CPU base.
As this is not a fast path the extra cost does not matter.
