There is no point in having seven architectures implementing the same empty
stub.

Provide a weak function in the init code and remove the stubs.

This also allows to utilize the function on UP which is required to
sanitize the per CPU handling on X86 UP.

 - Remove diagnostics and adjust config for CSD lock diagnostics

 - Add a generic IPI-sending tracepoint, as currently there's no easy
   way to instrument IPI origins: it's arch dependent and for some major
   architectures it's not even consistently available.

<content type='text'>
Before commit 076cbf5d2163 ("x86/xen: don't let xen_pv_play_dead()
return"), in Xen, when a previously offlined CPU was brought back
online, it unexpectedly resumed execution where it left off in the
middle of the idle loop.

There were some hacks to make that work, but the behavior was surprising
as do_idle() doesn't expect an offlined CPU to return from the dead (in
arch_cpu_idle_dead()).

Now that Xen has been fixed, and the arch-specific implementations of
arch_cpu_idle_dead() also don't return, give it a __noreturn attribute.

This will cause the compiler to complain if an arch-specific
implementation might return.  It also improves code generation for both
caller and callee.

Also fixes the following warning:

  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: do_idle+0x25f: unreachable instruction

arch_cpu_idle_dead() doesn't return.  Make that more explicit with a
BUG().

BUG() is preferable to unreachable() because BUG() is a more explicit
failure mode and avoids undefined behavior like falling off the edge of
the function into whatever code happens to be next.

Current arch_cpu_idle() is called with IRQs disabled, but will return
with IRQs enabled.

However, the very first thing the generic code does after calling
arch_cpu_idle() is raw_local_irq_disable(). This means that
architectures that can idle with IRQs disabled end up doing a
pointless 'enable-disable' dance.

Therefore, push this IRQ disabling into the idle function, meaning
that those architectures can avoid the pointless IRQ state flipping.

<content type='text'>
The setup_profiling_timer() is mostly un-implemented by many
architectures.  In many places it isn't guarded by CONFIG_PROFILE which is
needed for it to be used.  Make it a weak symbol in kernel/profile.c and
remove the 'return -EINVAL' implementations from the kenrel.

There are a couple of architectures which do return 0 from the
setup_profiling_timer() function but they don't seem to do anything else
with it.  To keep the /proc compatibility for now, leave these for a
future update or removal.

On ARM, this fixes the following sparse warning:
arch/arm/kernel/smp.c:793:5: warning: symbol 'setup_profiling_timer' was not declared. Should it be static?

As pointed out by commit

  de9b8f5dcbd9 ("sched: Fix crash trying to dequeue/enqueue the idle thread")

init_idle() can and will be invoked more than once on the same idle
task. At boot time, it is invoked for the boot CPU thread by
sched_init(). Then smp_init() creates the threads for all the secondary
CPUs and invokes init_idle() on them.

As the hotplug machinery brings the secondaries to life, it will issue
calls to idle_thread_get(), which itself invokes init_idle() yet again.
In this case it's invoked twice more per secondary: at _cpu_up(), and at
bringup_cpu().

Given smp_init() already initializes the idle tasks for all *possible*
CPUs, no further initialization should be required. Now, removing
init_idle() from idle_thread_get() exposes some interesting expectations
with regards to the idle task's preempt_count: the secondary startup always
issues a preempt_disable(), requiring some reset of the preempt count to 0
between hot-unplug and hotplug, which is currently served by
idle_thread_get() -&gt; idle_init().

Given the idle task is supposed to have preemption disabled once and never
see it re-enabled, it seems that what we actually want is to initialize its
preempt_count to PREEMPT_DISABLED and leave it there. Do that, and remove
init_idle() from idle_thread_get().

As pointed out by commit

  de9b8f5dcbd9 ("sched: Fix crash trying to dequeue/enqueue the idle thread")

init_idle() can and will be invoked more than once on the same idle
task. At boot time, it is invoked for the boot CPU thread by
sched_init(). Then smp_init() creates the threads for all the secondary
CPUs and invokes init_idle() on them.

As the hotplug machinery brings the secondaries to life, it will issue
calls to idle_thread_get(), which itself invokes init_idle() yet again.
In this case it's invoked twice more per secondary: at _cpu_up(), and at
bringup_cpu().
