entry: Prepare for deferred hrtimer rearming
The hrtimer interrupt expires timers and at the end of the interrupt it
rearms the clockevent device for the next expiring timer.
That's obviously correct, but in the case that a expired timer sets
NEED_RESCHED the return from interrupt ends up in schedule(). If HRTICK is
enabled then schedule() will modify the hrtick timer, which causes another
reprogramming of the hardware.
That can be avoided by deferring the rearming to the return from interrupt
path and if the return results in a immediate schedule() invocation then it
can be deferred until the end of schedule(), which avoids multiple rearms
and re-evaluation of the timer wheel.
As this is only relevant for interrupt to user return split the work masks
up and hand them in as arguments from the relevant exit to user functions,
which allows the compiler to optimize the deferred handling out for the
syscall exit to user case.
Add the rearm checks to the approritate places in the exit to user loop and
the interrupt return to kernel path, so that the rearming is always
guaranteed.
In the return to user space path this is handled in the same way as
TIF_RSEQ to avoid extra instructions in the fast path, which are truly
hurtful for device interrupt heavy work loads as the extra instructions and
conditionals while benign at first sight accumulate quickly into measurable
regressions. The return from syscall path is completely unaffected due to
the above mentioned split so syscall heavy workloads wont have any extra
burden.
For now this is just placing empty stubs at the right places which are all
optimized out by the compiler until the actual functionality is in place.

hrtimer: Use NOHZ information for locality
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.

hrtimer: Optimize for local timers
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.

hrtimer: Convert state and properties to boolean
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.
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:

x86/apic: Enable TSC coupled programming mode
The TSC deadline timer is directly coupled to the TSC and setting the next
deadline is tedious as the clockevents core code converts the
CLOCK_MONOTONIC based absolute expiry time to a relative expiry by reading
the current time from the TSC. It converts that delta to cycles and hands
the result to lapic_next_deadline(), which then has read to the TSC and add
the delta to program the timer.
The core code now supports coupled clock event devices and can provide the
expiry time in TSC cycles directly without reading the TSC at all.
This obviouly works only when the TSC is the current clocksource, but
that's the default for all modern CPUs which implement the TSC deadline
timer. If the TSC is not the current clocksource (e.g. early boot) then the
core code falls back to the relative set_next_event() callback as before.

clockevents: Provide support for clocksource coupled comparators
Some clockevent devices are coupled to the system clocksource by
implementing a less than or equal comparator which compares the programmed
absolute expiry time against the underlying time counter.
The timekeeping core provides a function to convert and absolute
CLOCK_MONOTONIC based expiry time to a absolute clock cycles time which can
be directly fed into the comparator. That spares two time reads in the next
event progamming path, one to convert the absolute nanoseconds time to a
delta value and the other to convert the delta value back to a absolute
time value suitable for the comparator.
Provide a new clocksource callback which takes the absolute cycle value and
wire it up in clockevents_program_event(). Similar to clocksources allow
architectures to inline the rearm operation.

timekeeping: Provide infrastructure for coupled clockevents
Some architectures have clockevent devices which are coupled to the system
clocksource by implementing a less than or equal comparator which compares
the programmed absolute expiry time against the underlying time
counter. Well known examples are TSC/TSC deadline timer and the S390 TOD
clocksource/comparator.
While the concept is nice it has some downsides:
1) The clockevents core code is strictly based on relative expiry times
as that's the most common case for clockevent device hardware. That
requires to convert the absolute expiry time provided by the caller
(hrtimers, NOHZ code) to a relative expiry time by reading and
substracting the current time.
The clockevent::set_next_event() callback must then read the counter
again to convert the relative expiry back into a absolute one.
2) The conversion factors from nanoseconds to counter clock cycles are
set up when the clockevent is registered. When NTP applies corrections
then the clockevent conversion factors can deviate from the
clocksource conversion substantially which either results in timers
firing late or in the worst case early. The early expiry then needs to
do a reprogam with a short delta.
In most cases this is papered over by the fact that the read in the
set_next_event() callback happens after the read which is used to
calculate the delta. So the tendency is that timers expire mostly
late.
All of this can be avoided by providing support for these devices in the
core code:
1) The timekeeping core keeps track of the last update to the clocksource
by storing the base nanoseconds and the corresponding clocksource
counter value. That's used to keep the conversion math for reading the
time within 64-bit in the common case.
This information can be used to avoid both reads of the underlying
clocksource in the clockevents reprogramming path:
The resulting cycles value can be directly used to program the
comparator.
2) As #1 does not longer provide the "compensation" through the second
read the deviation of the clocksource and clockevent conversions
caused by NTP become more prominent.
This can be cured by letting the timekeeping core compute and store
the reverse conversion factors when the clocksource cycles to
nanoseconds factors are modified by NTP:

/* This MSR is special and need a special fence: */
The MSR is not really special. It is just not a serializing MSR, but that
does not matter at all in this context as all of these operations are
strictly CPU local.
The only thing the fence prevents is that the RDTSC is speculated ahead,
but that's not really relevant as the delta is calculated way before based
on a previous TSC read and therefore inaccurate by definition.
So removing the fence is just making it slightly more inaccurate in the
worst case, but that is irrelevant as it's way below the actual system
immanent latencies and variations.

On some architectures clocksource::read() boils down to a single

Allow architectures to enable conditional inlining of that read to avoid
that by:
- providing a static branch to switch to the inlined variant
- disabling the branch before clocksource changes
- enabling the branch after a clocksource change, when the clocksource
indicates in a feature flag that it is the one which provides the
inlined variant
This is intentionally not a static call as that would only remove the
indirect call, but not the rest of the overhead.

tick/sched: Avoid hrtimer_cancel/start() sequence
The sequence of cancel and start is inefficient. It has to do the timer
lock/unlock twice and in the worst case has to reprogram the underlying
clock event device twice.
The reason why it is done this way is the usage of hrtimer_forward_now(),
which requires the timer to be inactive.
But that can be completely avoided as the forward can be done on a variable
and does not need any of the overrun accounting provided by
hrtimer_forward_now().
Implement a trivial forwarding mechanism and replace the cancel/reprogram
sequence with hrtimer_start(..., new_expiry).
For the non high resolution case the timer is not actually armed, but used
for storage so that code checking for expiry times can unconditially look
it up in the timer. So it is safe for that case to set the new expiry time
directly.

add default_gfp() helper macro and use it in the new *alloc_obj() helpers
Most simple allocations use GFP_KERNEL, and with the new allocation
helpers being introduced, let's just take advantage of that to simplify
that default case.
shows that about 90% of all those new allocator instances just use that
standard GFP_KERNEL.
Those helpers are already macros, and we can easily just make it be the
default case when the gfp argument is missing.
And yes, we could do that for all the legacy interfaces too, but let's
keep it to just the new ones at least for now, since those all got
converted recently anyway, so this is not any "extra" noise outside of
that limited conversion.
And, in fact, I want to do this before doing the -rc1 release, exactly
so that we don't get extra merge conflicts.

slab.h: disable completely broken overflow handling in flex allocations
Commit 69050f8d6d07 ("treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for
non-scalar types") started using the new allocation helpers, and in the
process showed that they were completely non-working.
The overflow logic in overflows_flex_counter_type() is completely the
wrong way around, and that broke __alloc_flex() completely. By chance,
the resulting code was then such a mess that clang generated
sufficiently garbage code that objtool warned about it all. Which made
it somewhat quicker to narrow things down.
While fixing overflows_flex_counter_type() would presumably fix this
all, I'm excising the whole broken overflow logic from __alloc_flex(),
because we don't want that kind of code in basic allocation functions
anyway.
That (no longer) broken overflows_flex_counter_type() thing needs to be
inserted into the actual __set_flex_counter() logic in the unlikely case
that we ever want this at all. And made conditional.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Fix possible dereference of uninitialized pointer
When validating the persistent ring buffer on boot up, if the first
validation fails, a reference to "head_page" is performed in the
error path, but it skips over the initialization of that variable.
Move the initialization before the first validation check.
- Fix use of event length in validation of persistent ring buffer
On boot up, the persistent ring buffer is checked to see if it is
valid by several methods. One being to walk all the events in the
memory location to make sure they are all valid. The length of the
event is used to move to the next event. This length is determined by
the data in the buffer. If that length is corrupted, it could
possibly make the next event to check located at a bad memory
location.
Validate the length field of the event when doing the event walk.
- Fix function graph on archs that do not support use of ftrace_ops
When an architecture defines HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS, it means
that its function graph tracer uses the ftrace_ops of the function
tracer to call its callbacks. This allows a single registered
callback to be called directly instead of checking the callback's
meta data's hash entries against the function being traced.
For architectures that do not support this feature, it must always
call the loop function that tests each registered callback (even if
there's only one). The loop function tests each callback's meta data
against its hash of functions and will call its callback if the
function being traced is in its hash map.
The issue was that there was no check against this and the direct
function was being called even if the architecture didn't support it.
This meant that if function tracing was enabled at the same time as a
callback was registered with the function graph tracer, its callback
would be called for every function that the function tracer also
traced, even if the callback's meta data only wanted to be called
back for a small subset of functions.
Prevent the direct calling for those architectures that do not
support it.
- Fix references to trace_event_file for hist files
The hist files used event_file_data() to get a reference to the
associated trace_event_file the histogram was attached to. This would
return a pointer even if the trace_event_file is about to be freed
(via RCU). Instead it should use the event_file_file() helper that
returns NULL if the trace_event_file is marked to be freed so that no
new references are added to it.
- Wake up hist poll readers when an event is being freed
When polling on a hist file, the task is only awoken when a hist
trigger is triggered. This means that if an event is being freed
while there's a task waiting on its hist file, it will need to wait
until the hist trigger occurs to wake it up and allow the freeing to
happen. Note, the event will not be completely freed until all
references are removed, and a hist poller keeps a reference. But it
should still be woken when the event is being freed.

NTB: ntb_transport: Use seq_file for QP stats debugfs
The ./qp*/stats debugfs file for each NTB transport QP is currently
implemented with a hand-crafted kmalloc() buffer and a series of
scnprintf() calls. This is a pre-seq_file style pattern and makes future
extensions easy to truncate.
Convert the stats file to use the seq_file helpers via
DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE(), which simplifies the code and lets the seq_file
core handle buffering and partial reads.

ntb/ntb_tool: correct sscanf format for u64 and size_t in tool_peer_mw_trans_write
The sscanf() call in tool_peer_mw_trans_write() uses "%lli:%zi" to parse
user input into 'u64 addr' and 'size_t wsize'. This is incorrect:
- "%lli" expects a signed long long *, but 'addr' is u64 (unsigned).
Input like "0x8000000000000000" is misinterpreted as negative,
leading to corrupted address values.
- "%zi" expects a signed ssize_t *, but 'wsize' is size_t (unsigned).
Input of "-1" is successfully parsed and stored as SIZE_MAX
(e.g., 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF), which may cause buffer overflows
or infinite loops in subsequent memory operations.
Fix by using format specifiers that match the actual variable types:
- "%llu" for u64 (supports hex/decimal, standard for kernel u64 parsing)
- "%zu" for size_t (standard and safe; rejects negative input)

Some platforms (e.g. R-Car S4) do not gain from using a DMAC on TX path
in ntb_transport and end up CPU-bound on memcpy_toio(). Add a module
parameter 'tx_memcpy_offload' that moves the TX memcpy_toio() and
descriptor writes to a per-QP kernel thread. It is disabled by default.
This change also fixes a rare ordering hazard in ntb_tx_copy_callback(),
that was observed on R-Car S4 once throughput improved with the new
module parameter: the DONE flag write to the peer MW, which is WC
mapped, could be observed after the DB/MSI trigger. Both operations are
posted PCIe MWr (often via different OB iATUs), so WC buffering and
bridges may reorder visibility. Insert dma_mb() to enforce store->load
ordering and then read back hdr->flags to flush the posted write before
ringing the doorbell / issuing MSI.
While at it, update tx_index with WRITE_ONCE() at the earlier possible
location to make ntb_transport_tx_free_entry() robust.

rtc: interface: Alarm race handling should not discard preceding error
Commit 795cda8338ea ("rtc: interface: Fix long-standing race when setting
alarm") should not discard any errors from the preceding validations.
Prior to that commit, if the alarm feature was disabled, or the
set_alarm failed, a meaningful error code would be returned to the
caller for further action.
After, more often than not, the __rtc_read_time will cause a success
return code instead, misleading the caller.
An example of this is when timer_enqueue is called for a rtc-abx080x
device. Since that driver does not clear the alarm feature bit, but
instead relies on the set_alarm operation to return invalid, the discard
of the return code causes very different behaviour; i.e.
hwclock: select() to /dev/rtc0 to wait for clock tick timed out
