In paravirt configurations today, spinlocks figure out whether a vCPU is running to determine whether or not spinlock should bother spinning. We can use the same logic to prioritize CPUs when scheduling threads. If a vCPU has been pre-empted, it will incur the extra cost of VMENTER and the time it actually spends to be running on the host CPU. If we had other vCPUs which were actually running on the host CPU and idle we should schedule threads there.

Gaurav reported a perceived problem with TASK_PARKED, which turned out to be a broken wait-loop pattern in __kthread_parkme(), but the reported issue can (and does) in fact happen for states that do not do condition based sleeps. When the 'current->state = TASK_RUNNING' store of a previous (concurrent) try_to_wake_up() collides with the setting of a 'special' sleep state, we can loose the sleep state. Normal condition based wait-loops are immune to this problem, but for sleep states that are not condition based are subject to this problem. There already is a fix for TASK_DEAD. Abstract that and also apply it to TASK_STOPPED and TASK_TRACED, both of which are also without condition based wait-loop.

Even with the wait-loop fixed, there is a further issue with kthread_parkme(). Upon hotplug, when we do takedown_cpu(), smpboot_park_threads() can return before all those threads are in fact blocked, due to the placement of the complete() in __kthread_parkme(). When that happens, sched_cpu_dying() -> migrate_tasks() can end up migrating such a still runnable task onto another CPU. Normally the task will have hit schedule() and gone to sleep by the time we do kthread_unpark(), which will then do __kthread_bind() to re-bind the task to the correct CPU. However, when we loose the initial TASK_PARKED store to the concurrent wakeup issue described previously, do the complete(), get migrated, it is possible to either: - observe kthread_unpark()'s clearing of SHOULD_PARK and terminate the park and set TASK_RUNNING, or - __kthread_bind()'s wait_task_inactive() to observe the competing TASK_RUNNING store. Either way the WARN() in __kthread_bind() will trigger and fail to correctly set the CPU affinity. Fix this by only issuing the complete() when the kthread has scheduled out. This does away with all the icky 'still running' nonsense. The alternative is to promote TASK_PARKED to a special state, this guarantees wait_task_inactive() cannot observe a 'stale' TASK_RUNNING and we'll end up doing the right thing, but this preserves the whole icky business of potentially migating the still runnable thing.

Gaurav reported a problem with __kthread_parkme() where a concurrent try_to_wake_up() could result in competing stores to ->state which, when the TASK_PARKED store got lost bad things would happen. The comment near set_current_state() actually mentions this competing store, but only mentions the case against TASK_RUNNING. This same store, with different timing, can happen against a subsequent !RUNNING store. This normally is not a problem, because as per that same comment, the !RUNNING state store is inside a condition based wait-loop: for (;;) { set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE); if (!need_sleep) break; schedule(); } __set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING); If we loose the (first) TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE store to a previous (concurrent) wakeup, the schedule() will NO-OP and we'll go around the loop once more. The problem here is that the TASK_PARKED store is not inside the KTHREAD_SHOULD_PARK condition wait-loop. There is a genuine issue with sleeps that do not have a condition; this is addressed in a subsequent patch.

Commit af503716 ("i2c: core: report OF style module alias for devices registered via OF") fixed how the I2C core reports the module alias when devices are registered via OF. But the atmel_mxt_ts driver only has an "atmel,maxtouch" compatible in its OF device ID table, so if a Device Tree is using a different one, autoload won't be working for the module (the matching works because the I2C device ID table is used as a fallback). So add compatible strings for each of the entries in the I2C device table.

The automatic update mechanism will trigger an update if the info block CRCs are different between maxtouch configuration file (maxtouch.cfg) and chip. The driver compared the CRCs without retrieving the chip CRC, resulting always in a failure and firmware flashing action triggered. Fix this issue by retrieving the chip info block CRC before the check. Note that this solution has the benefit that by reading the information block and the object table into a contiguous region of memory, we can verify the checksum at probe time. This means we make sure that we are indeed talking to a chip that supports object protocol correctly.

Pull errseq infrastructure fix from Jeff Layton: "The PostgreSQL developers recently had a spirited discussion about the writeback error handling in Linux, and reached out to us about a behavoir change to the code that bit them when the errseq_t changes were merged. When we changed to using errseq_t for tracking writeback errors, we lost the ability for an application to see a writeback error that occurred before the open on which the fsync was issued. This was problematic for PostgreSQL which offloads fsync calls to a completely separate process from the DB writers. This patch restores that ability. If the errseq_t value in the inode does not have the SEEN flag set, then we just return 0 for the sample. That ensures that any recorded error is always delivered at least once. Note that we might still lose the error if the inode gets evicted from the cache before anything can reopen it, but that was the case before errseq_t was merged. At LSF/MM we had some discussion about keeping inodes with unreported writeback errors around in the cache for longer (possibly indefinitely), but that's really a separate problem" * tag 'errseq-v4.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jlayton/linux: errseq: Always report a writeback error once

Tracepoint should only warn when a kernel API user does not respect the required preconditions (e.g. same tracepoint enabled twice, or called to remove a tracepoint that does not exist).

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner: "Another set of x86 related updates: - Fix the long broken x32 version of the IPC user space headers which was noticed by Arnd Bergman in course of his ongoing y2038 work. GLIBC seems to have non broken private copies of these headers so this went unnoticed. - Two microcode fixlets which address some more fallout from the recent modifications in that area: - Unconditionally save the microcode patch, which was only saved when CPU_HOTPLUG was enabled causing failures in the late loading mechanism - Make the later loader synchronization finally work under all circumstances. It was exiting early and causing timeout failures due to a missing synchronization point. - Do not use mwait_play_dead() on AMD systems to prevent excessive power consumption as the CPU cannot go into deep power states from there. - Address an annoying sparse warning due to lost type qualifiers of the vmemmap and vmalloc base address constants. - Prevent reserving crash kernel region on Xen PV as this leads to the wrong perception that crash kernels actually work there which is not the case. Xen PV has its own crash mechanism handled by the hypervisor. - Add missing TLB cpuid values to the table to make the printout on certain machines correct. - Enumerate the new CLDEMOTE instruction - Fix an incorrect SPDX identifier - Remove stale macros" * 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/ipc: Fix x32 version of shmid64_ds and msqid64_ds x86/setup: Do not reserve a crash kernel region if booted on Xen PV x86/cpu/intel: Add missing TLB cpuid values x86/smpboot: Don't use mwait_play_dead() on AMD systems x86/mm: Make vmemmap and vmalloc base address constants unsigned long x86/vector: Remove the unused macro FPU_IRQ x86/vector: Remove the macro VECTOR_OFFSET_START x86/cpufeatures: Enumerate cldemote instruction x86/microcode: Do not exit early from __reload_late() x86/microcode/intel: Save microcode patch unconditionally x86/jailhouse: Fix incorrect SPDX identifier

The comment claims that this helper will try not to loose bits, but for 64bit long it looses the high bits before hashing 64bit long into 32bit int. Use the helper hash_long() to do the right thing for 64bit long. For 32bit long, there is no change. All the callers of end_name_hash() either assign the result to qstr->hash, which is u32 or return the result as an int value (e.g. full_name_hash()). Change the helper return type to int to conform to its users. [ It took me a while to apply this, because my initial reaction to it was - incorrectly - that it could make for slower code. After having looked more at it, I take back all my complaints about the patch, Amir was right and I was mis-reading things or just being stupid. I also don't worry too much about the possible performance impact of this on 64-bit, since most architectures that actually care about performance end up not using this very much (the dcache code is the most performance-critical, but the word-at-a-time case uses its own hashing anyway). So this ends up being mostly used for filesystems that do their own degraded hashing (usually because they want a case-insensitive comparison function). A _tiny_ worry remains, in that not everybody uses DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS, and then this potentially makes things more expensive on 64-bit architectures with slow or lacking multipliers even for the normal case. That said, realistically the only such architecture I can think of is PA-RISC. Nobody really cares about performance on that, it's more of a "look ma, I've got warts^W an odd machine" platform. So the patch is fine, and all my initial worries were just misplaced from not looking at this properly. - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

That is a problem now that we are doing memory hotplug on bare metal. Three fixes for the NPU code that supports devices connected via NVLink (ie. GPUs). The main one tweaks the TLB flush algorithm to avoid soft lockups for large flushes. A fix for our memory error handling where we would loop infinitely, returning back to the bad access and hard lockup the CPU. Fixes for the OPAL RTC driver, which wasn't handling some error cases correctly. A fix for a hardlockup in the powernv cpufreq driver. And finally two fixes to our smp_send_stop(), required due to a recent change to use it on shutdown.
