The irq_work callback is invoked in hard IRQ context. By default all
callbacks are scheduled for invocation right away (given supported by
the architecture) except for the ones marked IRQ_WORK_LAZY which are
delayed until the next timer-tick.
While looking over the callbacks, some of them may acquire locks
(spinlock_t, rwlock_t) which are transformed into sleeping locks on
PREEMPT_RT and must not be acquired in hard IRQ context.
Changing the locks into locks which could be acquired in this context
will lead to other problems such as increased latencies if everything
in the chain has IRQ-off locks. This will not solve all the issues as
one callback has been noticed which invoked kref_put() and its callback
invokes kfree() and this can not be invoked in hardirq context.
Some callbacks are required to be invoked in hardirq context even on
PREEMPT_RT to work properly. This includes for instance the NO_HZ
callback which needs to be able to observe the idle context.
The callbacks which require to be run in hardirq have already been
marked. Use this information to split the callbacks onto the two lists
on PREEMPT_RT:
- lazy_list
Work items which are not marked with IRQ_WORK_HARD_IRQ will be added
to this list. Callbacks on this list will be invoked from a per-CPU
thread.
The handler here may acquire sleeping locks such as spinlock_t and
invoke kfree().
- raised_list
Work items which are marked with IRQ_WORK_HARD_IRQ will be added to
this list. They will be invoked in hardirq context and must not
acquire any sleeping locks.
The wake up of the per-CPU thread occurs from irq_work handler/
hardirq context. The thread runs with lowest RT priority to ensure it
runs before any SCHED_OTHER tasks do.
[bigeasy: melt tglx's irq_work_tick_soft() which splits irq_work_tick() into a
hard and soft variant. Collected fixes over time from Steven
Rostedt and Mike Galbraith. Move to per-CPU threads instead of
softirq as suggested by PeterZ.]

irq_work() triggers instantly an interrupt if supported by the
architecture. Otherwise the work will be processed on the next timer
tick. In worst case irq_work_sync() could spin up to a jiffy.
irq_work_sync() is usually used in tear down context which is fully
preemptible. Based on review irq_work_sync() is invoked from preemptible
context and there is one waiter at a time. This qualifies it to use
rcuwait for synchronisation.
Let irq_work_sync() synchronize with rcuwait if the architecture
processes irqwork via the timer tick.

This is unfortunate in that it makes the IPI handler look at a second

that struct irq_work and struct __call_single_data are very similar in

But cmpxchg() doesn't guarantee a full memory barrier upon failure. So

"A rather large update for the interrupt core code and the irq chip drivers:
- Add a new bitmap matrix allocator and supporting changes, which is
used to replace the x86 vector allocator which comes with separate
pull request. This allows to replace the convoluted nested loop
allocation function in x86 with a facility which supports the
recently added property of managed interrupts proper and allows to
switch to a best effort vector reservation scheme, which addresses
problems with vector exhaustion.
- A large update to the ARM GIC-V3-ITS driver adding support for
range selectors.
- New interrupt controllers:
- Meson and Meson8 GPIO
- BCM7271 L2
- Socionext EXIU
If you expected that this will stop at some point, I have to

- STM32 interrupt controller support for new platforms.

Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo:
"Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static
and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately
and had their own accessors. The distinction has been gone for many
years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained
with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other
operations over time. During the process, we also accumulated other
inconsistent operations.
This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the
duplicate accessor situation. __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with
with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr().
Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit
messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to
a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of
this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().
This converts most of the uses but not all. Christoph will follow up
with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully
remove the obsolete accessors"

If it is called from the scheduler or timers code, chances are that
we run into a deadlock.
This is why we run the nohz full kick from an irq work. That way we make
sure that the kick runs on a virgin context.
However if that's the case when irq work runs in its own dedicated
self-ipi, things are different for the big bunch of archs that don't
support the self triggered way. In order to support them, irq works are
also handled by the timer interrupt as fallback.
Now when irq works run on the timer interrupt, the context isn't blank.
More precisely, they can run in the context of the hrtimer that runs the
tick. But the nohz kick cancels and restarts this hrtimer and cancelling
an hrtimer from itself isn't allowed. This is why we run in an endless
loop:

when available. That ability of the arch to trigger irq work self IPIs
is available with arch_irq_work_has_interrupt().

irq work currently only supports local callbacks. However its code
is mostly ready to run remote callbacks and we have some potential user.
The full nohz subsystem currently open codes its own remote irq work
on top of the scheduler ipi when it wants a CPU to reevaluate its next
tick. However this ad hoc solution bloats the scheduler IPI.
Lets just extend the irq work subsystem to support remote queuing on top
of the generic SMP IPI to handle this kind of user. This shouldn't add
noticeable overhead.

An irq work can be handled from two places: from the tick if the work
carries the "lazy" flag and the tick is periodic, or from a self IPI.
We merge all these works in a single list and we use some per cpu latch
to avoid raising a self-IPI when one is already pending.
Now we could do away with this ugly latch if only the list was only made of
non-lazy works. Just enqueueing a work on the empty list would be enough
to know if we need to raise an IPI or not.
Also we are going to implement remote irq work queuing. Then the per CPU
latch will need to become atomic in the global scope. That's too bad
because, here as well, just enqueueing a work on an empty list of
non-lazy works would be enough to know if we need to raise an IPI or not.
So lets take a way out of this: split the works in two distinct lists,
one for the works that can be handled by the next tick and another
one for those handled by the IPI. Just checking if the latter is empty
when we queue a new work is enough to know if we need to raise an IPI.

It will start spewing to early_printk() (which is a lot nicer to use
from NMI context too) when it fails to queue the IRQ-work because its
already enqueued.
It does have the false-positive for when two CPUs trigger the warn
concurrently, but that should be rare and some extra clutter on the
early printk shouldn't be a problem.

On irq work initialization, let the user choose to define it
as "lazy" or not. "Lazy" means that we don't want to send
an IPI (provided the arch can anyway) when we enqueue this
work but we rather prefer to wait for the next timer tick
to execute our work if possible.
This is going to be a benefit for non-urgent enqueuers
(like printk in the future) that may prefer not to raise
an IPI storm in case of frequent enqueuing on short periods

If we are in nohz and there's still irq_work to be done when the idle

In order not to offline a CPU with pending irq works, flush the

(so things like get_irq_regs() wont work) but I'm not sure what the

Work claiming wants to be SMP-safe.
And by the time we try to claim a work, if it is already executing
concurrently on another CPU, we want to succeed the claiming and queue
the work again because the other CPU may have missed the data we wanted
to handle in our work if it's about to complete there.
This scenario is summarized below:
CPU 1 CPU 2
----- -----
(flags = 0)
cmpxchg(flags, 0, IRQ_WORK_FLAGS)
(flags = 3)
[...]
xchg(flags, IRQ_WORK_BUSY)
(flags = 2)
func()
if (flags & IRQ_WORK_PENDING)
(not true)
cmpxchg(flags, flags, IRQ_WORK_FLAGS)
(flags = 3)
[...]
cmpxchg(flags, IRQ_WORK_BUSY, 0);
(fail, pending on CPU 2)
This state machine is synchronized using [cmp]xchg() on the flags.
As such, the early IRQ_WORK_PENDING check in CPU 2 above is racy.
By the time we check it, we may be dealing with a stale value because
we aren't using an atomic accessor. As a result, CPU 2 may "see"
that the work is still pending on another CPU while it may be
actually completing the work function exection already, leaving
our data unprocessed.
To fix this, we start by speculating about the value we wish to be
in the work->flags but we only make any conclusion after the value
returned by the cmpxchg() call that either claims the work or let
the current owner handle the pending work for us.

The IRQ_WORK_BUSY flag is set right before we execute the
work. Once this flag value is set, the work enters a
claimable state again.
So if we have specific data to compute in our work, we ensure it's
either handled by another CPU or locally by enqueuing the work again.
This state machine is guanranteed by atomic operations on the flags.
So when we set IRQ_WORK_BUSY without using an xchg-like operation,
we break this guarantee as in the following summarized scenario:
CPU 1 CPU 2
----- -----
(flags = 0)
old_flags = flags;
(flags = 0)
cmpxchg(flags, old_flags,
old_flags | IRQ_WORK_FLAGS)
(flags = 3)
[...]
flags = IRQ_WORK_BUSY
(flags = 2)
func()
(sees flags = 3)
cmpxchg(flags, old_flags,
old_flags | IRQ_WORK_FLAGS)
(give up)
cmpxchg(flags, 2, 0);
(flags = 0)
CPU 1 claims a work and executes it, so it sets IRQ_WORK_BUSY and
the work is again in a claimable state. Now CPU 2 has new data to process
and try to claim that work but it may see a stale value of the flags
and think the work is still pending somewhere that will handle our data.
This is because CPU 1 doesn't set IRQ_WORK_BUSY atomically.
As a result, the data expected to be handle by CPU 2 won't get handled.
To fix this, use xchg() to set IRQ_WORK_BUSY, this way we ensure the CPU 2
will see the correct value with cmpxchg() using the expected ordering.

Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is
most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the
system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers.
Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as
a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also
benefit.
The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where
possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the
built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately.
Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a
callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call
irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such
work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in
processing the work.
