We are planning to convert the dynticks Kconfig options layout
into a choice menu. The user must be able to easily pick
any of the following implementations: constant periodic tick,
idle dynticks, full dynticks.

As this implies a mutual exclusion, the two dynticks implementions
need to converge on the selection of a common Kconfig option in order
to ease the sharing of a common infrastructure.

It would thus seem pretty natural to reuse CONFIG_NO_HZ to
that end. It already implements all the idle dynticks code
and the full dynticks depends on all that code for now.
So ideally the choice menu would propose CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and
CONFIG_NO_HZ_EXTENDED then both would select CONFIG_NO_HZ.

On the other hand we want to stay backward compatible: if
CONFIG_NO_HZ is set in an older config file, we want to
enable CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE by default.

But we can't afford both at the same time or we run into
a circular dependency:

1) CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and CONFIG_NO_HZ_EXTENDED both select
   CONFIG_NO_HZ
2) If CONFIG_NO_HZ is set, we default to CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE

We might be able to support that from Kconfig/Kbuild but it
may not be wise to introduce such a confusing behaviour.

So to solve this, create a new CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON option
which gathers the common code between idle and full dynticks
(that common code for now is simply the idle dynticks code)
and select it from their referring Kconfig.

Then we'll later create CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and map CONFIG_NO_HZ
to it for backward compatibility.

The full dynticks feature only shows up when all its
Kconfig dependencies are met (RCU nocbs, RCU user mode, ...)

This is far from being user friendly as those who want to
activate this feature need to look into the Kconfig files
and iterate through each dependency then activate these
by hand in order to show and select the full dynticks
Kconfig option.

So process the other way around: show up the Kconfig option
if the minimal low level dependencies are met and activate
the high level ones when we enable the feature.

Note there is one exception in the picture:
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN is part of a Kconfig choice
menu and it appears we can't select it from another Kconfig
selection when it's under such layout. So for now this
particular item stays as a passive dependency.

Wake up a CPU when a timer list timer is enqueued there and
the target is part of the full dynticks range. Sending an IPI
to it makes it reconsidering the next timer to program on top
of recent updates.

This may later be improved by checking if the tick is really
stopped on the target. This would need some careful
synchronization though. So deal with such optimization later
and start simple.

This way the full nohz CPUs can safely run with the tick
stopped with a guarantee that somebody else is taking
care of the jiffies and GTOD progression.

Once the duty is attributed to a CPU, it won't change. Also that
CPU can't enter into dyntick idle mode or be hot unplugged.

This may later be improved from a power consumption POV. At
least we should be able to share the duty amongst all CPUs
outside the full dynticks range. Then the duty could even be
shared with full dynticks CPUs when those can't stop their
tick for any reason.

But let's start with that very simple approach first.

[fix have_nohz_full_mask offcase]
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

For extreme usecases such as Real Time or HPC, having
the ability to shutdown the tick when a single task runs
on a CPU is a desired feature:

* Reducing the amount of interrupts improves throughput
for CPU-bound tasks. The CPU is less distracted from its
real job, from an execution time and from the cache point
of views.

* This also improve latency response as we have less critical
sections.

Start with introducing a very simple interface to define
full dynticks CPU: use a boot time option defined cpumask
through the "nohz_extended=" kernel parameter. CPUs that
are part of this range will have their tick shutdown
whenever possible: provided they run a single task and
they don't do kernel activity that require the periodic
tick. These details will be later documented in
Documentation/*

An online CPU must be kept outside this range to handle the
timekeeping.

Thomas noted that we do the wakeup preemption check after the

this decision; which is rather important for latency sensitive
workloads. Therefore move the tracepoint after doing the

 " Some users are complaining that their threadgroup's runtime accounting
   freezes after a week or so of intense cpu-bound workload. This set tries

 " Commit 0cf55e1e start to use scalling

   overflow, depending on how many CPUs are on the system.

   We have multiplication utime * rtime for one thread since commit
   b27f03d4.

   Overflow will happen after:

   rtime * utime > 0xffffffffffffffff jiffies

   if thread utilize 100% of CPU time, that gives:

   rtime > sqrt(0xffffffffffffffff) jiffies

   ritme > sqrt(0xffffffffffffffff) / (24 * 60 * 60 * HZ) days

   For HZ 100 it will be 497 days for HZ 1000 it will be 49 days.

   long period. Also they have to be interested on utime,stime values,

Some users have reported that after running a process with
hundreds of threads on intensive CPU-bound loads, the cputime
of the group started to freeze after a few days.

This is due to how we scale the tick-based cputime against
the scheduler precise execution time value.

We add the values of all threads in the group and we multiply
that against the sum of the scheduler exec runtime of the whole
group.

This easily overflows after a few days/weeks of execution.

A proposed solution to solve this was to compute that multiplication
on stime instead of utime:
   62188451
   ("cputime: Avoid multiplication overflow on utime scaling")

The rationale behind that was that it's easy for a thread to
spend most of its time in userspace under intensive CPU-bound workload
but it's much harder to do CPU-bound intensive long run in the kernel.

This postulate got defeated when a user recently reported he was still
seeing cputime freezes after the above patch. The workload that
triggers this issue relates to intensive networking workloads where
most of the cputime is consumed in the kernel.

To reduce much more the opportunities for multiplication overflow,
lets reduce the multiplication factors to the remainders of the division
between sched exec runtime and cputime. Assuming the difference between
these shouldn't ever be that large, it could work on many situations.

This gets the same results as in the upstream scaling code except for
a small difference: the upstream code always rounds the results to
the nearest integer not greater to what would be the precise result.
The new code rounds to the nearest integer either greater or not
greater. In practice this difference probably shouldn't matter but
it's worth mentioning.

If this solution appears not to be enough in the end, we'll
need to partly revert back to the behaviour prior to commit
     0cf55e1e
     ("sched, cputime: Introduce thread_group_times()")

Back then, the scaling was done on exit() time before adding the cputime
of an exiting thread to the signal struct. And then we'll need to
scale one-by-one the live threads cputime in thread_group_cputime(). The
drawback may be a slightly slower code on exit time.

since what we want is to runtime test this code anyway.

It's furthermore confusing for the users which don't expect

The full dynticks cputime accounting is able to account either
using the tick or the context tracking subsystem. This way
the housekeeping CPU can keep the low overhead tick based
solution.

This latter mode has a low jiffies resolution granularity and
need to be scaled against CFS precise runtime accounting to
improve its result. We are doing this for CONFIG_TICK_CPU_ACCOUNTING,
now we also need to expand it to full dynticks accounting dynamic
off-case as well.

From the context tracking POV, preempt_schedule_irq() behaves pretty much
like an exception: It can be called anytime and schedule another task.

But currently it doesn't restore the context tracking state of the preempted
code on preempt_schedule_irq() return.

As a result, if preempt_schedule_irq() is called in the tiny frame between
user_enter() and the actual return to userspace, we resume userspace with
the wrong context tracking state.

Fix this by using exception_enter/exit() which are a perfect fit for this
kind of issue.

On exception exit, we restore the previous context tracking state based on
the regs of the interrupted frame. Iff that frame is in user mode as
stated by user_mode() helper, we restore the context tracking user mode.

However there is a tiny chunck of low level arch code after we pass through
user_enter() and until the CPU eventually resumes userspace.
If an exception happens in this tiny area, exception_enter() correctly
exits the context tracking user mode but exception_exit() won't restore
it because of the value returned by user_mode(regs).

As a result we may return to userspace with the wrong context tracking
state.

To fix this, change exception_enter() to return the context tracking state
prior to its call and pass this saved state to exception_exit(). This restores
the real context tracking state of the interrupted frame.

 "The main part of this merge are Heikos uaccess patches.  Together with
  commit 09884964 ("mm: do not grow the stack vma just because of an
  overrun on preceding vma") the user string access is hopefully fixed
  for good.

  In addition some bug fixes and two cleanup patches."

Pull second round of PARISC updates from Helge Deller:
 "The most important fix in this branch is the switch of io_setup,
  io_getevents and io_submit syscalls to use the available compat
  syscalls when running 32bit userspace on 64bit kernel.  Other than
  that it's mostly removal of compile warnings."

Pull new ImgTec Meta architecture from James Hogan:
 "This adds core architecture support for Imagination's Meta processor
  cores, followed by some later miscellaneous arch/metag cleanups and
  fixes which I kept separate to ease review:

   - Support for basic Meta 1 (ATP) and Meta 2 (HTP) core architecture
   - A few fixes all over, particularly for symbol prefixes
   - A few privilege protection fixes
   - Several cleanups (setup.c includes, split out a lot of
     metag_ksyms.c)

Pull late ARM updates from Russell King:
 "Here is the late set of ARM updates for this merge window; in here is:

   - The ARM parts of the broadcast timer support, core parts merged
     through tglx's tree.  This was left over from the previous merge to
     allow the dependency on tglx's tree to be resolved.

   - A fix to the VFP code which shows up on Raspberry Pi's, as well as
     fixing the fallout from a previous commit in this area.

   - A number of smaller fixes scattered throughout the ARM tree"
