Warning when p == NULL and then proceeding and dereferencing p does not
make any sense as the kernel will crash with a NULL pointer dereference
right away.
Bailing out when p == NULL and returning an error code does not cure the
underlying problem which caused p to be NULL. Though it might allow to
do proper debugging.
Same applies to the clock id check in set_process_cpu_timer().
Clean them up and make them return without trying to do further damage.

migration_base is used as a placeholder when an hrtimer is migrated to a
different CPU. In the case that hrtimer_cancel_wait_running() hits a timer
which is currently migrated it would pointlessly acquire the expiry lock of
the migration base, which is even not initialized.
Surely it could be initialized, but there is absolutely no point in
acquiring this lock because the timer is guaranteed not to run it's
callback for which the caller waits to finish on that base. So it would
just do the inc/lock/dec/unlock dance for nothing.
As the base switch is short and non-preemptible, there is no issue when the
wait function returns immediately.
The timer base and base->cpu_base cannot be NULL in the code path which is
invoking that, so just replace those checks with a check whether base is
migration base.

The update to timer->base is protected by the base->cpu_base->lock().
However, hrtimer_cancel_wait_running() does access it lockless. So the
compiler is allowed to refetch timer->base which can cause havoc when the
timer base is changed concurrently.
Use READ_ONCE() to prevent this.

The handling of a priority inversion between timer cancelling and a a not
well defined possible preemption of softirq kthread is not very clear.
Especially in the posix timers side it's unclear why there is a specific RT
wait callback.

Posix timer delete retry loops are affected by the same priority inversion
and live lock issues as the other timers.
Provide a RT specific synchronization function which keeps a reference to
the timer by holding rcu read lock to prevent the timer from being freed,
dropping the timer lock and invoking the timer specific wait function via a
new callback.
This does not yet cover posix CPU timers because they need more special
treatment on PREEMPT_RT.
[ This is folded into the original attempt which did not use a callback. ]

Timer deletion on PREEMPT_RT is prone to priority inversion and live
locks. The hrtimer code has a synchronization mechanism for this. Posix CPU
timers will grow one.
But that mechanism cannot be invoked while holding the k_itimer lock
because that can deadlock against the running timer callback. So the lock
must be dropped which allows the timer to be freed.
The timer free can be prevented by taking RCU readlock before dropping the
lock, but because the rcu_head is part of the 'it' union a concurrent free
will overwrite the hrtimer on which the task is trying to synchronize.
Move the rcu_head out of the union to prevent this.

When PREEMPT_RT is enabled, the soft interrupt thread can be preempted. If
the soft interrupt thread is preempted in the middle of a timer callback,
then calling del_timer_sync() can lead to two issues:
- If the caller is on a remote CPU then it has to spin wait for the timer
handler to complete. This can result in unbound priority inversion.
- If the caller originates from the task which preempted the timer
handler on the same CPU, then spin waiting for the timer handler to
complete is never going to end.
To avoid these issues, add a new lock to the timer base which is held
around the execution of the timer callbacks. If del_timer_sync() detects
that the timer callback is currently running, it blocks on the expiry
lock. When the callback is finished, the expiry lock is dropped by the
softirq thread which wakes up the waiter and the system makes progress.
This addresses both the priority inversion and the life lock issues.
This mechanism is not used for timers which are marked IRQSAFE as for those
preemption is disabled accross the callback and therefore this situation
cannot happen. The callbacks for such timers need to be individually
audited for RT compliance.
The same issue can happen in virtual machines when the vCPU which runs a
timer callback is scheduled out. If a second vCPU of the same guest calls
del_timer_sync() it will spin wait for the other vCPU to be scheduled back
in. The expiry lock mechanism would avoid that. It'd be trivial to enable
this when paravirt spinlocks are enabled in a guest, but it's not clear
whether this is an actual problem in the wild, so for now it's an RT only
mechanism.
As the softirq thread can be preempted with PREEMPT_RT=y, the SMP variant
of del_timer_sync() needs to be used on UP as well.

On PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels hrtimers which are not explicitely marked for
hard interrupt expiry mode are moved into soft interrupt context either for
latency reasons or because the hrtimer callback takes regular spinlocks or
invokes other functions which are not suitable for hard interrupt context
on PREEMPT_RT.
The hrtimer_sleeper callback is RT compatible in hard interrupt context,
but there is a latency concern: Untrusted userspace can spawn many threads
which arm timers for the same expiry time on the same CPU. On expiry that
causes a latency spike due to the wakeup of a gazillion threads.
OTOH, priviledged real-time user space applications rely on the low latency
of hard interrupt wakeups. These syscall related wakeups are all based on
hrtimer sleepers.
If the current task is in a real-time scheduling class, mark the mode for
hard interrupt expiry.

hrtimer_start_range_ns() has a WARN_ONCE() which verifies that a timer
which is marker for softirq expiry is not queued in the hard interrupt base
and vice versa.
When PREEMPT_RT is enabled, timers which are not explicitely marked to
expire in hard interrupt context are deferrred to the soft interrupt. So
the regular check would trigger.
Change the check, so when PREEMPT_RT is enabled, it is verified that the
timers marked for hard interrupt expiry are not tried to be queued for soft
interrupt expiry or any of the unmarked and softirq marked is tried to be
expired in hard interrupt context.

Pull preemption Kconfig fix from Thomas Gleixner:
"The PREEMPT_RT stub config renamed PREEMPT to PREEMPT_LL and defined
PREEMPT outside of the menu and made it selectable by both PREEMPT_LL

Stupid me missed that 114 defconfigs select CONFIG_PREEMPT which
obviously can't work anymore. oldconfig builds are affected as well,
but it's more obvious as the user gets asked. [old]defconfig silently
fixes it up and selects PREEMPT_NONE.
Unbreak it by undoing the rename and adding a intermediate config
symbol which is selected by both PREEMPT and PREEMPT_RT. That requires
to chase down a few #ifdefs, but it's better than tweaking 114
defconfigs and annoying users"

The merge of the CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT stub renamed CONFIG_PREEMPT to
CONFIG_PREEMPT_LL which causes all defconfigs which have CONFIG_PREEMPT=y
set to fall back to CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE because CONFIG_PREEMPT depends on
the preemption mode choice wich defaults to NONE. This also affects
oldconfig builds.
So rather than changing 114 defconfig files and being an annoyance to
users, revert the rename and select a new config symbol PREEMPTION. That
keeps everything working smoothly and the revelant ifdef's are going to be
fixed up step by step.

There is a race between reading task->exit_state in pidfd_poll and
writing it after do_notify_parent calls do_notify_pidfd. Expected
sequence of events is:
CPU 0 CPU 1
------------------------------------------------
exit_notify
do_notify_parent
do_notify_pidfd
tsk->exit_state = EXIT_DEAD
pidfd_poll
if (tsk->exit_state)
However nothing prevents the following sequence:
CPU 0 CPU 1
------------------------------------------------
exit_notify
do_notify_parent
do_notify_pidfd
pidfd_poll
if (tsk->exit_state)
tsk->exit_state = EXIT_DEAD
This causes a polling task to wait forever, since poll blocks because
exit_state is 0 and the waiting task is not notified again. A stress
test continuously doing pidfd poll and process exits uncovered this bug.
To fix it, we make sure that the task's exit_state is always set before
calling do_notify_pidfd.

Pull CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT stub config from Thomas Gleixner:
"The real-time preemption patch set exists for almost 15 years now and
while the vast majority of infrastructure and enhancements have found
their way into the mainline kernel, the final integration of RT is
still missing.
Over the course of the last few years, we have worked on reducing the
intrusivenness of the RT patches by refactoring kernel infrastructure
to be more real-time friendly. Almost all of these changes were
benefitial to the mainline kernel on their own, so there was no
objection to integrate them.
Though except for the still ongoing printk refactoring, the remaining
changes which are required to make RT a first class mainline citizen
are not longer arguable as immediately beneficial for the mainline
kernel. Most of them are either reordering code flows or adding RT
specific functionality.
But this now has hit a wall and turned into a classic hen and egg
problem:
Maintainers are rightfully wary vs. these changes as they make only
sense if the final integration of RT into the mainline kernel takes
place.
Adding CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT aims to solve this as a clear sign that RT
will be fully integrated into the mainline kernel. The final
integration of the missing bits and pieces will be of course done with
the same careful approach as we have used in the past.
While I'm aware that you are not entirely enthusiastic about that, I
think that RT should receive the same treatment as any other widely
used out of tree functionality, which we have accepted into mainline
over the years.
RT has become the de-facto standard real-time enhancement and is
shipped by enterprise, embedded and community distros. It's in use
throughout a wide range of industries: telecommunications, industrial
automation, professional audio, medical devices, data acquisition,
automotive - just to name a few major use cases.
RT development is backed by a Linuxfoundation project which is
supported by major stakeholders of this technology. The funding will
continue over the actual inclusion into mainline to make sure that the
functionality is neither introducing regressions, regressing itself,
nor becomes subject to bitrot. There is also a lifely user community
around RT as well, so contrary to the grim situation 5 years ago, it's
a healthy project.
As RT is still a good vehicle to exercise rarely used code paths and
to detect hard to trigger issues, you could at least view it as a QA
tool if nothing else"

Dedicated instances are currently disturbed by unnecessary jitter due
to the emulated lapic timers firing on the same pCPUs where the
vCPUs reside. There is no hardware virtual timer on Intel for guest
like ARM, so both programming timer in guest and the emulated timer fires
incur vmexits. This patch tries to avoid vmexit when the emulated timer
fires, at least in dedicated instance scenario when nohz_full is enabled.
In that case, the emulated timers can be offload to the nearest busy
housekeeping cpus since APICv has been found for several years in server
processors. The guest timer interrupt can then be injected via posted interrupts,
which are delivered by the housekeeping cpu once the emulated timer fires.
The host should tuned so that vCPUs are placed on isolated physical
processors, and with several pCPUs surplus for busy housekeeping.
If disabled mwait/hlt/pause vmexits keep the vCPUs in non-root mode,
~3% redis performance benefit can be observed on Skylake server, and the

Commit c5c27a0a5838 ("x86/stacktrace: Remove the pointless ULONG_MAX
marker") removes ULONG_MAX marker from user stack trace entries but
trace_user_stack_print() still uses the marker and it outputs unnecessary
"??".
For example:
less-1911 [001] d..2 34.758944: <user stack trace>
=> <00007f16f2295910>
=> ??
=> ??
=> ??
=> ??
=> ??
=> ??
=> ??
The user stack trace code zeroes the storage before saving the stack, so if
the trace is shorter than the maximum number of entries it can terminate
the print loop if a zero entry is detected.

dma_map_sg() may use swiotlb buffer when the kernel command line includes
"swiotlb=force" or the dma_addr is out of dev->dma_mask range. After
DMA complete the memory moving from device to memory, then user call
dma_sync_sg_for_cpu() to sync with DMA buffer, and copy the original
virtual buffer to other space.
So dma_direct_sync_sg_for_cpu() should use swiotlb physical addr, not
the original physical addr from sg_phys(sg).
dma_direct_sync_sg_for_device() also has the same issue, correct it as
well.

In the sysctl code the proc_dointvec_minmax() function is often used to
validate the user supplied value between an allowed range. This
function uses the extra1 and extra2 members from struct ctl_table as
minimum and maximum allowed value.
On sysctl handler declaration, in every source file there are some
readonly variables containing just an integer which address is assigned
to the extra1 and extra2 members, so the sysctl range is enforced.
The special values 0, 1 and INT_MAX are very often used as range
boundary, leading duplication of variables like zero=0, one=1,
int_max=INT_MAX in different source files:
$ git grep -E '\.extra[12].*&(zero|one|int_max)' |wc -l
248
Add a const int array containing the most commonly used values, some
macros to refer more easily to the correct array member, and use them
instead of creating a local one for every object file.

Teach devm_memremap_pages() about the new sub-section capabilities of
arch_{add,remove}_memory(). Effectively, just replace all usage of
align_start, align_end, and align_size with res->start, res->end, and
resource_size(res). The existing sanity check will still make sure that
the two separate remap attempts do not collide within a sub-section (2MB
on x86).

find_next_iomem_res() shows up to be a source for overhead in dax
benchmarks.
Improve performance by not considering children of the tree if the top
level does not match. Since the range of the parents should include the
range of the children such check is redundant.
Running sysbench on dax (pmem emulation, with write_cache disabled):
sysbench fileio --file-total-size=3G --file-test-mode=rndwr \
--file-io-mode=mmap --threads=4 --file-fsync-mode=fdatasync run

Since resources can be removed, locking should ensure that the resource
is not removed while accessing it. However, find_next_iomem_res() does
not hold the lock while copying the data of the resource.
Keep holding the lock while the data is copied. While at it, change the
return value to a more informative value. It is disregarded by the
callers.

Add a new entry to the preemption menu which enables the real-time support
for the kernel. The choice is only enabled when an architecture supports
it.
It selects PREEMPT as the RT features depend on it. To achieve that the
existing PREEMPT choice is renamed to PREEMPT_LL which select PREEMPT as
well.
