Linus Torvalds e28e909c36 - move kvm_stat tool from QEMU repo into tools/kvm/kvm_stat
(kvm_stat had nothing to do with QEMU in the first place -- the tool
    only interprets debugfs)
 - expose per-vm statistics in debugfs and support them in kvm_stat
   (KVM always collected per-vm statistics, but they were summarised into
    global statistics)
 
 x86:
  - fix dynamic APICv (VMX was improperly configured and a guest could
    access host's APIC MSRs, CVE-2016-4440)
  - minor fixes
 
 ARM changes from Christoffer Dall:
  "This set of changes include the new vgic, which is a reimplementation
   of our horribly broken legacy vgic implementation.  The two
   implementations will live side-by-side (with the new being the
   configured default) for one kernel release and then we'll remove the
   legacy one.
 
   Also fixes a non-critical issue with virtual abort injection to
   guests."

Michal Hocko c8f7de0bfa mm, compaction: distinguish between full and partial COMPACT_COMPLETE
COMPACT_COMPLETE now means that compaction and free scanner met.  This
is not very useful information if somebody just wants to use this
feedback and make any decisions based on that.  The current caller might
be a poor guy who just happened to scan tiny portion of the zone and
that could be the reason no suitable pages were compacted.  Make sure we
distinguish the full and partial zone walks.

Consumers should treat COMPACT_PARTIAL_SKIPPED as a potential success
and be optimistic in retrying.

The existing users of COMPACT_COMPLETE are conservatively changed to use
COMPACT_PARTIAL_SKIPPED as well but some of them should be probably
reconsidered and only defer the compaction only for COMPACT_COMPLETE
with the new semantic.

This patch shouldn't introduce any functional changes.

Michal Hocko 1d4746d395 mm, compaction: distinguish COMPACT_DEFERRED from COMPACT_SKIPPED
try_to_compact_pages() can currently return COMPACT_SKIPPED even when
the compaction is defered for some zone just because zone DMA is skipped
in 99% of cases due to watermark checks.  This makes COMPACT_DEFERRED
basically unusable for the page allocator as a feedback mechanism.

Make sure we distinguish those two states properly and switch their
ordering in the enum.  This would mean that the COMPACT_SKIPPED will be
returned only when all eligible zones are skipped.

As a result COMPACT_DEFERRED handling for THP in __alloc_pages_slowpath
will be more precise and we would bail out rather than reclaim.

Linus Torvalds 7f427d3a60 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull parallel filesystem directory handling update from Al Viro.

This is the main parallel directory work by Al that makes the vfs layer
able to do lookup and readdir in parallel within a single directory.
That's a big change, since this used to be all protected by the
directory inode mutex.

The inode mutex is replaced by an rwsem, and serialization of lookups of
a single name is done by a "in-progress" dentry marker.

The series begins with xattr cleanups, and then ends with switching
filesystems over to actually doing the readdir in parallel (switching to
the "iterate_shared()" that only takes the read lock).

A more detailed explanation of the process from Al Viro:
 "The xattr work starts with some acl fixes, then switches ->getxattr to
  passing inode and dentry separately.  This is the point where the
  things start to get tricky - that got merged into the very beginning
  of the -rc3-based #work.lookups, to allow untangling the
  security_d_instantiate() mess.  The xattr work itself proceeds to
  switch a lot of filesystems to generic_...xattr(); no complications
  there.

  After that initial xattr work, the series then does the following:

   - untangle security_d_instantiate()

   - convert a bunch of open-coded lookup_one_len_unlocked() to calls of
     that thing; one such place (in overlayfs) actually yields a trivial
     conflict with overlayfs fixes later in the cycle - overlayfs ended
     up switching to a variant of lookup_one_len_unlocked() sans the
     permission checks.  I would've dropped that commit (it gets
     overridden on merge from #ovl-fixes in #for-next; proper resolution
     is to use the variant in mainline fs/overlayfs/super.c), but I
     didn't want to rebase the damn thing - it was fairly late in the
     cycle...

   - some filesystems had managed to depend on lookup/lookup exclusion
     for *fs-internal* data structures in a way that would break if we
     relaxed the VFS exclusion.  Fixing hadn't been hard, fortunately.

   - core of that series - parallel lookup machinery, replacing
     ->i_mutex with rwsem, making lookup_slow() take it only shared.  At
     that point lookups happen in parallel; lookups on the same name
     wait for the in-progress one to be done with that dentry.

     Surprisingly little code, at that - almost all of it is in
     fs/dcache.c, with fs/namei.c changes limited to lookup_slow() -
     making it use the new primitive and actually switching to locking
     shared.

   - parallel readdir stuff - first of all, we provide the exclusion on
     per-struct file basis, same as we do for read() vs lseek() for
     regular files.  That takes care of most of the needed exclusion in
     readdir/readdir; however, these guys are trickier than lookups, so
     I went for switching them one-by-one.  To do that, a new method
     '->iterate_shared()' is added and filesystems are switched to it
     as they are either confirmed to be OK with shared lock on directory
     or fixed to be OK with that.  I hope to kill the original method
     come next cycle (almost all in-tree filesystems are switched
     already), but it's still not quite finished.

   - several filesystems get switched to parallel readdir.  The
     interesting part here is dealing with dcache preseeding by readdir;
     that needs minor adjustment to be safe with directory locked only
     shared.

     Most of the filesystems doing that got switched to in those
     commits.  Important exception: NFS.  Turns out that NFS folks, with
     their, er, insistence on VFS getting the fuck out of the way of the
     Smart Filesystem Code That Knows How And What To Lock(tm) have
     grown the locking of their own.  They had their own homegrown
     rwsem, with lookup/readdir/atomic_open being *writers* (sillyunlink
     is the reader there).  Of course, with VFS getting the fuck out of
     the way, as requested, the actual smarts of the smart filesystem
     code etc. had become exposed...

   - do_last/lookup_open/atomic_open cleanups.  As the result, open()
     without O_CREAT locks the directory only shared.  Including the
     ->atomic_open() case.  Backmerge from #for-linus in the middle of
     that - atomic_open() fix got brought in.

   - then comes NFS switch to saner (VFS-based ;-) locking, killing the
     homegrown "lookup and readdir are writers" kinda-sorta rwsem.  All
     exclusion for sillyunlink/lookup is done by the parallel lookups
     mechanism.  Exclusion between sillyunlink and rmdir is a real rwsem
     now - rmdir being the writer.

     Result: NFS lookups/readdirs/O_CREAT-less opens happen in parallel
     now.

   - the rest of the series consists of switching a lot of filesystems
     to parallel readdir; in a lot of cases ->llseek() gets simplified
     as well.  One backmerge in there (again, #for-linus - rockridge
     fix)"

Christian Borntraeger 3491caf275 KVM: halt_polling: provide a way to qualify wakeups during poll
Some wakeups should not be considered a sucessful poll. For example on
s390 I/O interrupts are usually floating, which means that _ALL_ CPUs
would be considered runnable - letting all vCPUs poll all the time for
transactional like workload, even if one vCPU would be enough.
This can result in huge CPU usage for large guests.
This patch lets architectures provide a way to qualify wakeups if they
should be considered a good/bad wakeups in regard to polls.

For s390 the implementation will fence of halt polling for anything but
known good, single vCPU events. The s390 implementation for floating
interrupts does a wakeup for one vCPU, but the interrupt will be delivered
by whatever CPU checks first for a pending interrupt. We prefer the
woken up CPU by marking the poll of this CPU as "good" poll.
This code will also mark several other wakeup reasons like IPI or
expired timers as "good". This will of course also mark some events as
not sucessful. As  KVM on z runs always as a 2nd level hypervisor,
we prefer to not poll, unless we are really sure, though.

This patch successfully limits the CPU usage for cases like uperf 1byte
transactional ping pong workload or wakeup heavy workload like OLTP
while still providing a proper speedup.

This also introduced a new vcpu stat "halt_poll_no_tuning" that marks
wakeups that are considered not good for polling.

Alexei Starovoitov 98b5c2c65c perf, bpf: allow bpf programs attach to tracepoints
introduce BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACEPOINT program type and allow it to be attached
to the perf tracepoint handler, which will copy the arguments into
the per-cpu buffer and pass it to the bpf program as its first argument.
The layout of the fields can be discovered by doing
'cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/format'
prior to the compilation of the program with exception that first 8 bytes
are reserved and not accessible to the program. This area is used to store
the pointer to 'struct pt_regs' which some of the bpf helpers will use:
+---------+
| 8 bytes | hidden 'struct pt_regs *' (inaccessible to bpf program)
+---------+
| N bytes | static tracepoint fields defined in tracepoint/format (bpf readonly)
+---------+
| dynamic | __dynamic_array bytes of tracepoint (inaccessible to bpf yet)
+---------+

Not that all of the fields are already dumped to user space via perf ring buffer
and broken application access it directly without consulting tracepoint/format.
Same rule applies here: static tracepoint fields should only be accessed
in a format defined in tracepoint/format. The order of fields and
field sizes are not an ABI.

Paul E. McKenney f6a12f34a4 rcu: Enforce expedited-GP fairness via funnel wait queue
The current mutex-based funnel-locking approach used by expedited grace
periods is subject to severe unfairness.  The problem arises when a
few tasks, making a path from leaves to root, all wake up before other
tasks do.  A new task can then follow this path all the way to the root,
which needlessly delays tasks whose grace period is done, but who do
not happen to acquire the lock quickly enough.

This commit avoids this problem by maintaining per-rcu_node wait queues,
along with a per-rcu_node counter that tracks the latest grace period
sought by an earlier task to visit this node.  If that grace period
would satisfy the current task, instead of proceeding up the tree,
it waits on the current rcu_node structure using a pair of wait queues
provided for that purpose.  This decouples awakening of old tasks from
the arrival of new tasks.

If the wakeups prove to be a bottleneck, additional kthreads can be
brought to bear for that purpose.

Linus Torvalds e46b4e2b46 Nothing major this round. Mostly small clean ups and fixes.
Some visible changes:
 
  A new flag was added to distinguish traces done in NMI context.
 
  Preempt tracer now shows functions where preemption is disabled but
  interrupts are still enabled.
 
 Other notes:
 
  Updates were done to function tracing to allow better performance
  with perf.
 
  Infrastructure code has been added to allow for a new histogram
  feature for recording live trace event histograms that can be
  configured by simple user commands. The feature itself was just
  finished, but needs a round in linux-next before being pulled.
  This only includes some infrastructure changes that will be needed.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "Nothing major this round.  Mostly small clean ups and fixes.

  Some visible changes:

   - A new flag was added to distinguish traces done in NMI context.

   - Preempt tracer now shows functions where preemption is disabled but
     interrupts are still enabled.

  Other notes:

   - Updates were done to function tracing to allow better performance
     with perf.

   - Infrastructure code has been added to allow for a new histogram
     feature for recording live trace event histograms that can be
     configured by simple user commands.  The feature itself was just
     finished, but needs a round in linux-next before being pulled.

     This only includes some infrastructure changes that will be needed"

Pull thermal updates from Zhang Rui:

 - Fix a regression where bogus trip points on some Lenovo laptops start
   to screw up thermal control after commit 81ad4276b5 ("Thermal:
   initialize thermal zone device correctly").

   On these Lenovo laptops, a bogus passive trip point is reported,
   which is 0 degree Celsius.  Without commit 81ad4276b5, thermal zone
   fails to set cooling devices to proper cooling state, which is a bug.
   But with commit 81ad4276b5 applied, the processors are always
   throttled on these Lenovo laptops because the current temperature is
   always higher than the passive trip point.

   Fix things to ignore such bogus trip points.  (Zhang Rui)

 - Introduce Mediatek thermal driver.  (Sascha Hauer)

 - Introduce devm_ versions of OF thermal sensor register API.  (Laxman

Daniel Borkmann 69716a2b51 ipv6, trace: fix tos reporting on fib6_table_lookup
flowi6_tos of struct flowi6 is unused in IPv6, therefore dumping tos on
that tracepoint will also give incorrect information wrt traffic class.

If we want to fix it, we need to extract it via ip6_tclass(flp->flowlabel).
While for the same test case I get a count of 0 non-zero tos values before
the change, they now start to show up after the change:

  # ./perf record -e fib6:fib6_table_lookup -a sleep 10
  # ./perf script | grep -v "tos 0" | wc -l
  60

Since there's no user in the kernel tree anymore of flowi6_tos, remove the
define to avoid any future confusion on this.

Joonsoo Kim 95813b8faa mm/page_ref: add tracepoint to track down page reference manipulation
CMA allocation should be guaranteed to succeed by definition, but,
unfortunately, it would be failed sometimes.  It is hard to track down
the problem, because it is related to page reference manipulation and we
don't have any facility to analyze it.

This patch adds tracepoints to track down page reference manipulation.
With it, we can find exact reason of failure and can fix the problem.
Following is an example of tracepoint output.  (note: this example is
stale version that printing flags as the number.  Recent version will
print it as human readable string.)

This output shows that problem comes from exit path.  In exit path, to
improve performance, pages are not freed immediately.  They are gathered
and processed by batch.  During this process, migration cannot be
possible and CMA allocation is failed.  This problem is hard to find
without this page reference tracepoint facility.

Enabling this feature bloat kernel text 30 KB in my configuration.

Note that, due to header file dependency problem between mm.h and
tracepoint.h, this feature has to open code the static key functions for
tracepoints.  Proposed by Steven Rostedt in following link.

Vlastimil Babka 698b1b3064 mm, compaction: introduce kcompactd
Memory compaction can be currently performed in several contexts:

 - kswapd balancing a zone after a high-order allocation failure
 - direct compaction to satisfy a high-order allocation, including THP
   page fault attemps
 - khugepaged trying to collapse a hugepage
 - manually from /proc

The purpose of compaction is two-fold.  The obvious purpose is to
satisfy a (pending or future) high-order allocation, and is easy to
evaluate.  The other purpose is to keep overal memory fragmentation low
and help the anti-fragmentation mechanism.  The success wrt the latter
purpose is more

The current situation wrt the purposes has a few drawbacks:

 - compaction is invoked only when a high-order page or hugepage is not
   available (or manually).  This might be too late for the purposes of
   keeping memory fragmentation low.
 - direct compaction increases latency of allocations.  Again, it would
   be better if compaction was performed asynchronously to keep
   fragmentation low, before the allocation itself comes.
 - (a special case of the previous) the cost of compaction during THP
   page faults can easily offset the benefits of THP.
 - kswapd compaction appears to be complex, fragile and not working in
   some scenarios.  It could also end up compacting for a high-order
   allocation request when it should be reclaiming memory for a later
   order-0 request.

To improve the situation, we should be able to benefit from an
equivalent of kswapd, but for compaction - i.e. a background thread
which responds to fragmentation and the need for high-order allocations
(including hugepages) somewhat proactively.

One possibility is to extend the responsibilities of kswapd, which could
however complicate its design too much.  It should be better to let
kswapd handle reclaim, as order-0 allocations are often more critical
than high-order ones.

Another possibility is to extend khugepaged, but this kthread is a
single instance and tied to THP configs.

This patch goes with the option of a new set of per-node kthreads called
kcompactd, and lays the foundations, without introducing any new
tunables.  The lifecycle mimics kswapd kthreads, including the memory
hotplug hooks.

For compaction, kcompactd uses the standard compaction_suitable() and
ompact_finished() criteria and the deferred compaction functionality.
Unlike direct compaction, it uses only sync compaction, as there's no
allocation latency to minimize.

This patch doesn't yet add a call to wakeup_kcompactd.  The kswapd
compact/reclaim loop for high-order pages will be replaced by waking up
kcompactd in the next patch with the description of what's wrong with
the old approach.

Waking up of the kcompactd threads is also tied to kswapd activity and
follows these rules:
 - we don't want to affect any fastpaths, so wake up kcompactd only from
   the slowpath, as it's done for kswapd
 - if kswapd is doing reclaim, it's more important than compaction, so
   don't invoke kcompactd until kswapd goes to sleep
 - the target order used for kswapd is passed to kcompactd

Future possible future uses for kcompactd include the ability to wake up
kcompactd on demand in special situations, such as when hugepages are
not available (currently not done due to __GFP_NO_KSWAPD) or when a
fragmentation event (i.e.  __rmqueue_fallback()) occurs.  It's also
possible to perform periodic compaction with kcompactd.

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "This time the majority of changes go into cpufreq and they are
  significant.

  First off, the way CPU frequency updates are triggered is different
  now.  Instead of having to set up and manage a deferrable timer for
  each CPU in the system to evaluate and possibly change its frequency
  periodically, cpufreq governors set up callbacks to be invoked by the
  scheduler on a regular basis (basically on utilization updates).  The
  "old" governors, "ondemand" and "conservative", still do all of their
  work in process context (although that is triggered by the scheduler
  now), but intel_pstate does it all in the callback invoked by the
  scheduler with no need for any additional asynchronous processing.

  Of course, this eliminates the overhead related to the management of
  all those timers, but also it allows the cpufreq governor code to be
  simplified quite a bit.  On top of that, the common code and data
  structures used by the "ondemand" and "conservative" governors are
  cleaned up and made more straightforward and some long-standing and
  quite annoying problems are addressed.  In particular, the handling of
  governor sysfs attributes is modified and the related locking becomes
  more fine grained which allows some concurrency problems to be avoided
  (particularly deadlocks with the core cpufreq code).

  In principle, the new mechanism for triggering frequency updates
  allows utilization information to be passed from the scheduler to
  cpufreq.  Although the current code doesn't make use of it, in the
  works is a new cpufreq governor that will make decisions based on the
  scheduler's utilization data.  That should allow the scheduler and
  cpufreq to work more closely together in the long run.

  In addition to the core and governor changes, cpufreq drivers are
  updated too.  Fixes and optimizations go into intel_pstate, the
  cpufreq-dt driver is updated on top of some modification in the
  Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework and there are fixes and
  other updates in the powernv cpufreq driver.

  Apart from the cpufreq updates there is some new ACPICA material,
  including a fix for a problem introduced by previous ACPICA updates,
  and some less significant changes in the ACPI code, like CPPC code
  optimizations, ACPI processor driver cleanups and support for loading
  ACPI tables from initrd.

  Also updated are the generic power domains framework, the Intel RAPL
  power capping driver and the turbostat utility and we have a bunch of
  traditional assorted fixes and cleanups.

  Specifics:

   - Redesign of cpufreq governors and the intel_pstate driver to make
     them use callbacks invoked by the scheduler to trigger CPU
     frequency evaluation instead of using per-CPU deferrable timers for
     that purpose (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Reorganization and cleanup of cpufreq governor code to make it more
     straightforward and fix some concurrency problems in it (Rafael
     Wysocki, Viresh Kumar).

   - Cleanup and improvements of locking in the cpufreq core (Viresh
     Kumar).

   - Assorted cleanups in the cpufreq core (Rafael Wysocki, Viresh
     Kumar, Eric Biggers).

   - intel_pstate driver updates including fixes, optimizations and a
     modification to make it enable enable hardware-coordinated P-state
     selection (HWP) by default if supported by the processor (Philippe
     Longepe, Srinivas Pandruvada, Rafael Wysocki, Viresh Kumar, Felipe
     Franciosi).

   - Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework updates to improve its
     handling of voltage regulators and device clocks and updates of the
     cpufreq-dt driver on top of that (Viresh Kumar, Jon Hunter).

   - Updates of the powernv cpufreq driver to fix initialization and
     cleanup problems in it and correct its worker thread handling with
     respect to CPU offline, new powernv_throttle tracepoint (Shilpasri
     Bhat).

   - ACPI cpufreq driver optimization and cleanup (Rafael Wysocki).

   - ACPICA updates including one fix for a regression introduced by
     previos changes in the ACPICA code (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng, David Box,
     Colin Ian King).

   - Support for installing ACPI tables from initrd (Lv Zheng).

   - Optimizations of the ACPI CPPC code (Prashanth Prakash, Ashwin
     Chaugule).

   - Support for _HID(ACPI0010) devices (ACPI processor containers) and
     ACPI processor driver cleanups (Sudeep Holla).

   - Support for ACPI-based enumeration of the AMBA bus (Graeme Gregory,
     Aleksey Makarov).

   - Modification of the ACPI PCI IRQ management code to make it treat
     255 in the Interrupt Line register as "not connected" on x86 (as
     per the specification) and avoid attempts to use that value as a
     valid interrupt vector (Chen Fan).

   - ACPI APEI fixes related to resource leaks (Josh Hunt).

   - Removal of modularity from a few ACPI drivers (BGRT, GHES,
     intel_pmic_crc) that cannot be built as modules in practice (Paul
     Gortmaker).

   - PNP framework update to make it treat ACPI_RESOURCE_TYPE_SERIAL_BUS
     as a valid resource type (Harb Abdulhamid).

   - New device ID (future AMD I2C controller) in the ACPI driver for
     AMD SoCs (APD) and in the designware I2C driver (Xiangliang Yu).

   - Assorted ACPI cleanups (Colin Ian King, Kaiyen Chang, Oleg Drokin).

   - cpuidle menu governor optimization to avoid a square root
     computation in it (Rasmus Villemoes).

   - Fix for potential use-after-free in the generic device properties
     framework (Heikki Krogerus).

   - Updates of the generic power domains (genpd) framework including
     support for multiple power states of a domain, fixes and debugfs
     output improvements (Axel Haslam, Jon Hunter, Laurent Pinchart,
     Geert Uytterhoeven).

   - Intel RAPL power capping driver updates to reduce IPI overhead in
     it (Jacob Pan).

   - System suspend/hibernation code cleanups (Eric Biggers, Saurabh
     Sengar).

   - Year 2038 fix for the process freezer (Abhilash Jindal).

   - turbostat utility updates including new features (decoding of more
     registers and CPUID fields, sub-second intervals support, GFX MHz
     and RC6 printout, --out command line option), fixes (syscall jitter
     detection and workaround, reductioin of the number of syscalls

Vlastimil Babka 420adbe9fc mm, tracing: unify mm flags handling in tracepoints and printk
In tracepoints, it's possible to print gfp flags in a human-friendly
format through a macro show_gfp_flags(), which defines a translation
array and passes is to __print_flags().  Since the following patch will
introduce support for gfp flags printing in printk(), it would be nice
to reuse the array.  This is not straightforward, since __print_flags()
can't simply reference an array defined in a .c file such as mm/debug.c
- it has to be a macro to allow the macro magic to communicate the
format to userspace tools such as trace-cmd.

The solution is to create a macro __def_gfpflag_names which is used both
in show_gfp_flags(), and to define the gfpflag_names[] array in
mm/debug.c.

On the other hand, mm/debug.c also defines translation tables for page
flags and vma flags, and desire was expressed (but not implemented in
this series) to use these also from tracepoints.  Thus, this patch also
renames the events/gfpflags.h file to events/mmflags.h and moves the
table definitions there, using the same macro approach as for gfpflags.
This allows translating all three kinds of mm-specific flags both in
tracepoints and printk.

Vlastimil Babka 1f7866b4ae mm, tracing: make show_gfp_flags() up to date
The show_gfp_flags() macro provides human-friendly printing of gfp flags
in tracepoints.  However, it is somewhat out of date and missing several
flags.  This patches fills in the missing flags, and distinguishes
properly between GFP_ATOMIC and __GFP_ATOMIC which were both translated
to "GFP_ATOMIC".  More generally, all __GFP_X flags which were
previously printed as GFP_X, are now printed as __GFP_X, since ommiting
the underscores results in output that doesn't actually match the source
code, and can only lead to confusion.  Where both variants are defined
equal (e.g.  _DMA and _DMA32), the variant without underscores are
preferred.

Also add a note in gfp.h so hopefully future changes will be synced
better.

__GFP_MOVABLE is defined twice in include/linux/gfp.h with different
comments.  Leave just the newer one, which was intended to replace the
old one.

Linus Torvalds 710d60cbf1 Merge branch 'smp-hotplug-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull cpu hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This is the first part of the ongoing cpu hotplug rework:

   - Initial implementation of the state machine

   - Runs all online and prepare down callbacks on the plugged cpu and
     not on some random processor

   - Replaces busy loop waiting with completions

   - Adds tracepoints so the states can be followed"

More detailed commentary on this work from an earlier email:
 "What's wrong with the current cpu hotplug infrastructure?

   - Asymmetry

     The hotplug notifier mechanism is asymmetric versus the bringup and
     teardown.  This is mostly caused by the notifier mechanism.

   - Largely undocumented dependencies

     While some notifiers use explicitely defined notifier priorities,
     we have quite some notifiers which use numerical priorities to
     express dependencies without any documentation why.

   - Control processor driven

     Most of the bringup/teardown of a cpu is driven by a control
     processor.  While it is understandable, that preperatory steps,
     like idle thread creation, memory allocation for and initialization
     of essential facilities needs to be done before a cpu can boot,
     there is no reason why everything else must run on a control
     processor.  Before this patch series, bringup looks like this:

       Control CPU                     Booting CPU

       do preparatory steps
       kick cpu into life

                                       do low level init

       sync with booting cpu           sync with control cpu

       bring the rest up

   - All or nothing approach

     There is no way to do partial bringups.  That's something which is
     really desired because we waste e.g.  at boot substantial amount of
     time just busy waiting that the cpu comes to life.  That's stupid
     as we could very well do preparatory steps and the initial IPI for
     other cpus and then go back and do the necessary low level
     synchronization with the freshly booted cpu.

   - Minimal debuggability

     Due to the notifier based design, it's impossible to switch between
     two stages of the bringup/teardown back and forth in order to test
     the correctness.  So in many hotplug notifiers the cancel
     mechanisms are either not existant or completely untested.

   - Notifier [un]registering is tedious

     To [un]register notifiers we need to protect against hotplug at
     every callsite.  There is no mechanism that bringup/teardown
     callbacks are issued on the online cpus, so every caller needs to
     do it itself.  That also includes error rollback.

  What's the new design?

     The base of the new design is a symmetric state machine, where both
     the control processor and the booting/dying cpu execute a well
     defined set of states.  Each state is symmetric in the end, except
     for some well defined exceptions, and the bringup/teardown can be
     stopped and reversed at almost all states.

     So the bringup of a cpu will look like this in the future:

       Control CPU                     Booting CPU

       do preparatory steps
       kick cpu into life

                                       do low level init

       sync with booting cpu           sync with control cpu

                                       bring itself up

     The synchronization step does not require the control cpu to wait.
     That mechanism can be done asynchronously via a worker or some
     other mechanism.

     The teardown can be made very similar, so that the dying cpu cleans
     up and brings itself down.  Cleanups which need to be done after
     the cpu is gone, can be scheduled asynchronously as well.

  There is a long way to this, as we need to refactor the notion when a
  cpu is available.  Today we set the cpu online right after it comes
  out of the low level bringup, which is not really correct.

  The proper mechanism is to set it to available, i.e. cpu local
  threads, like softirqd, hotplug thread etc. can be scheduled on that
  cpu, and once it finished all booting steps, it's set to online, so
  general workloads can be scheduled on it.  The reverse happens on
  teardown.  First thing to do is to forbid scheduling of general
  workloads, then teardown all the per cpu resources and finally shut it
  off completely.

  This patch series implements the basic infrastructure for this at the
  core level.  This includes the following:

   - Basic state machine implementation with well defined states, so
     ordering and prioritization can be expressed.

   - Interfaces to [un]register state callbacks

     This invokes the bringup/teardown callback on all online cpus with
     the proper protection in place and [un]installs the callbacks in
     the state machine array.

     For callbacks which have no particular ordering requirement we have
     a dynamic state space, so that drivers don't have to register an
     explicit hotplug state.

     If a callback fails, the code automatically does a rollback to the
     previous state.

   - Sysfs interface to drive the state machine to a particular step.

     This is only partially functional today.  Full functionality and
     therefor testability will be achieved once we converted all
     existing hotplug notifiers over to the new scheme.

   - Run all CPU_ONLINE/DOWN_PREPARE notifiers on the booting/dying
     processor:

       Control CPU                     Booting CPU

       do preparatory steps
       kick cpu into life

                                       do low level init

       sync with booting cpu           sync with control cpu
       wait for boot
                                       bring itself up

                                       Signal completion to control cpu

     In a previous step of this work we've done a full tree mechanical
     conversion of all hotplug notifiers to the new scheme.  The balance
     is a net removal of about 4000 lines of code.

     This is not included in this series, as we decided to take a
     different approach.  Instead of mechanically converting everything
     over, we will do a proper overhaul of the usage sites one by one so
     they nicely fit into the symmetric callback scheme.

     I decided to do that after I looked at the ugliness of some of the
     converted sites and figured out that their hotplug mechanism is
     completely buggered anyway.  So there is no point to do a
     mechanical conversion first as we need to go through the usage
     sites one by one again in order to achieve a full symmetric and
     testable behaviour"

Linus Torvalds e23604edac Merge branch 'timers-nohz-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull NOHZ updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "NOHZ enhancements, by Frederic Weisbecker, which reorganizes/refactors
  the NOHZ 'can the tick be stopped?' infrastructure and related code to
  be data driven, and harmonizes the naming and handling of all the
  various properties"

[ This makes the ugly "fetch_or()" macro that the scheduler used
  internally a new generic helper, and does a bad job at it.

  I'm pulling it, but I've asked Ingo and Frederic to get this
  fixed up ]
