The timer and hrtimer soft interrupts are raised in hard interrupt
context. With threaded interrupts force enabled or on PREEMPT_RT this leads
to waking the ksoftirqd for the processing of the soft interrupt.
ksoftirqd runs as SCHED_OTHER task which means it will compete with other
tasks for CPU resources. This can introduce long delays for timer
processing on heavy loaded systems and is not desired.
Split the TIMER_SOFTIRQ and HRTIMER_SOFTIRQ processing into a dedicated
timers thread and let it run at the lowest SCHED_FIFO priority.
Wake-ups for RT tasks happen from hardirq context so only timer_list timers
and hrtimers for "regular" tasks are processed here. The higher priority
ensures that wakeups are performed before scheduling SCHED_OTHER tasks.
Using a dedicated variable to store the pending softirq bits values ensure
that the timer are not accidentally picked up by ksoftirqd and other
threaded interrupts.
It shouldn't be picked up by ksoftirqd since it runs at lower priority.
However if ksoftirqd is already running while a timer fires, then ksoftird
will be PI-boosted due to the BH-lock to ktimer's priority.
The timer thread can pick up pending softirqs from ksoftirqd but only
if the softirq load is high. It is not be desired that the picked up
softirqs are processed at SCHED_FIFO priority under high softirq load
but this can already happen by a PI-boost by a force-threaded interrupt.

Raising the timer soft interrupt is always done from hard interrupt

flag. The soft interrupt will be invoked on return from interrupt.
Use therefore __raise_softirq_irqoff() to raise the TIMER soft interrupt,

Queue posixtimers which have their signal ignored on the ignored list:
1) When the timer fires and the signal has SIG_IGN set
2) When SIG_IGN is installed via sigaction() and a timer signal
is already queued
This only happens when the signal is for a valid timer, which delivered the
signal in periodic mode. One-shot timer signals are correctly dropped.
Due to the lock order constraints (sighand::siglock nests inside
timer::lock) the signal code cannot access any of the timer fields which
are relevant to make this decision, e.g. timer::it_status.
This is addressed by establishing a protection scheme which requires to
lock both locks on the timer side for modifying decision fields in the
timer struct and therefore makes it possible for the signal delivery to
evaluate with only sighand:siglock being held:
1) Move the NULLification of timer->it_signal into the sighand::siglock
protected section of timer_delete() and check timer::it_signal in the
code path which determines whether the signal is dropped or queued on
the ignore list.
This ensures that a deleted timer cannot be moved onto the ignore
list, which would prevent it from being freed on exit() as it is not
longer in the process' posix timer list.
If the timer got moved to the ignored list before deletion then it is
removed from the ignored list under sighand lock in timer_delete().
2) Provide a new timer::it_sig_periodic flag, which gets set in the
signal queue path with both timer and sighand locks held if the timer
is actually in periodic mode at expiry time.
The ignore list code checks this flag under sighand::siglock and drops
the signal when it is not set.
If it is set, then the signal is moved to the ignored list independent
of the actual state of the timer.
When the signal is un-ignored later then the signal is moved back to
the signal queue. On signal delivery the posix timer side decides
about dropping the signal if the timer was re-armed, dis-armed or
deleted based on the signal sequence counter check.
If the thread/process exits then not yet delivered signals are
discarded which means the reference of the timer containing the
sigqueue is dropped and frees the timer.
This is way cheaper than requiring all code paths to lock
sighand::siglock of the target thread/process on any modification of
timer::it_status or going all the way and removing pending signals
from the signal queues on every rearm, disarm or delete operation.
So the protection scheme here is that on the timer side both timer::lock
and sighand::siglock have to be held for modifying
timer::it_signal
timer::it_sig_periodic
which means that on the signal side holding sighand::siglock is enough to
evaluate these fields.
In posixtimer_deliver_signal() holding timer::lock is sufficient to do the
sequence validation against timer::it_signal_seq because a concurrent
expiry is waiting on timer::lock to be released.
This completes the SIG_IGN handling and such timers are not longer self
rearmed which avoids pointless wakeups.

The firing flag of a posix CPU timer is tristate:
0: when the timer is not about to deliver a signal
1: when the timer has expired, but the signal has not been delivered yet
-1: when the timer was queued for signal delivery and a rearm operation
raced against it and supressed the signal delivery.
This is a pointless exercise as this can be simply expressed with a
boolean. Only if set, the signal is delivered. This makes delete and rearm
consistent with the rest of the posix timers.
Convert firing to bool and fixup the usage sites accordingly and add
comments why the timer cannot be dequeued right away.

Signals of timers which are reprogammed, disarmed or deleted can deliver
signals related to the past. The POSIX spec is blury about this:
- "The effect of disarming or resetting a timer with pending expiration
notifications is unspecified."
- "The disposition of pending signals for the deleted timer is
unspecified."
In both cases it is reasonable to expect that pending signals are
discarded. Especially in the reprogramming case it does not make sense to
account for previous overruns or to deliver a signal for a timer which has
been disarmed. This makes the behaviour consistent and understandable.
Remove the si_sys_private check from the signal delivery code and invoke
posix_timer_deliver_signal() unconditionally for posix timer related
signals.
Change posix_timer_deliver_signal() so it controls the actual signal
delivery via the return value. It now instructs the signal code to drop the
signal when:
1) The timer does not longer exist in the hash table
2) The timer signal_seq value is not the same as the si_sys_private value
which was set when the signal was queued.
This is also a preparatory change to embed the sigqueue into the k_itimer
structure, which in turn allows to remove the si_sys_private magic.

Currently, if __region_intersects() finds any overlapped but unmatched
resource, it walks the descendant resource tree to check for overlapped
and matched descendant resources using for_each_resource(). However, in
current kernel, for_each_resource() iterates not only the descendant tree,
but also subsequent sibling trees in certain scenarios. While this
doesn't introduce bugs, it makes code hard to be understood and
potentially inefficient.
So, the patch revises next_resource() and for_each_resource() and makes
for_each_resource() traverse the subtree under the specified subtree root
only. Test shows that this avoids unnecessary resource tree walking in
__region_intersects().
For the example resource tree as follows,
X
|
A----D----E
|
B--C
if 'A' is the overlapped but unmatched resource, original kernel
iterates 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E' when it walks the descendant tree. While
the patched kernel iterates only 'B', 'C'.
Thanks David Hildenbrand for providing a good resource tree example.

mm_access() can return NULL if the mm is not found, but this is handled
the same as an error in all callers, with some translating this into an
-ESRCH error.
Only proc_mem_open() returns NULL if no mm is found, however in this case
it is clearer and makes more sense to explicitly handle the error.
Additionally we take the opportunity to refactor the function to eliminate
unnecessary nesting.
Simplify things by simply returning -ESRCH if no mm is found - this both
eliminates confusing use of the IS_ERR_OR_NULL() macro, and simplifies
callers which would return -ESRCH by returning this error directly.

Hardware traces, such as instruction traces, can produce a vast amount of
trace data, so being able to reduce tracing to more specific circumstances
can be useful.
The ability to pause or resume tracing when another event happens, can do
that.
Add ability for an event to "pause" or "resume" AUX area tracing.
Add aux_pause bit to perf_event_attr to indicate that, if the event
happens, the associated AUX area tracing should be paused. Ditto
aux_resume. Do not allow aux_pause and aux_resume to be set together.
Add aux_start_paused bit to perf_event_attr to indicate to an AUX area
event that it should start in a "paused" state.
Add aux_paused to struct hw_perf_event for AUX area events to keep track of
the "paused" state. aux_paused is initialized to aux_start_paused.
Add PERF_EF_PAUSE and PERF_EF_RESUME modes for ->stop() and ->start()
callbacks. Call as needed, during __perf_event_output(). Add
aux_in_pause_resume to struct perf_buffer to prevent races with the NMI
handler. Pause/resume in NMI context will miss out if it coincides with
another pause/resume.
To use aux_pause or aux_resume, an event must be in a group with the AUX
area event as the group leader.
Example (requires Intel PT and tools patches also):

In order to enable PREEMPT_DYNAMIC for PREEMPT_RT, remove PREEMPT_RT
from the 'Preemption Model' choice. Strictly speaking PREEMPT_RT is
not a change in how preemption works, but rather it makes a ton more
code preemptible.
Notably, take away NONE and VOLUNTARY options for PREEMPT_RT, they make
no sense (but are techincally possible).

Change fair to use resched_curr_lazy(), which, when the lazy
preemption model is selected, will set TIF_NEED_RESCHED_LAZY.
This LAZY bit will be promoted to the full NEED_RESCHED bit on tick.
As such, the average delay between setting LAZY and actually
rescheduling will be TICK_NSEC/2.
In short, Lazy preemption will delay preemption for fair class but
will function as Full preemption for all the other classes, most
notably the realtime (RR/FIFO/DEADLINE) classes.
The goal is to bridge the performance gap with Voluntary, such that we
might eventually remove that option entirely.

Instead of solving the underlying problem of the double invocation of
__sched_fork() for idle tasks, sched-ext decided to hack around the issue
by partially clearing out the entity struct to preserve the already
enqueued node. A provided analysis and solution has been ignored for four
months.
Now that someone else has taken care of cleaning it up, remove the
disgusting hack and clear out the full structure. Remove the comment in the
structure declaration as well, as there is no requirement for @node being
the last element anymore.

Idle tasks are initialized via __sched_fork() twice:
fork_idle()
copy_process()
sched_fork()
__sched_fork()
init_idle()
__sched_fork()
Instead of cleaning this up, sched_ext hacked around it. Even when analyis
and solution were provided in a discussion, nobody cared to clean this up.
init_idle() is also invoked from sched_init() to initialize the boot CPU's
idle task, which requires the __sched_fork() invocation. But this can be
trivially solved by invoking __sched_fork() before init_idle() in
sched_init() and removing the __sched_fork() invocation from init_idle().
Do so and clean up the comments explaining this historical leftover.

Most of sched_clock()'s implementation is ineligible for instrumentation
due to relying on sched_clock_noinstr().
Split the implementation off into an __always_inline function
__sched_clock(), which is then used by the noinstr and instrumentable
version, to allow more of sched_clock() to be covered by various
instrumentation.
This will allow instrumentation with the various sanitizers (KASAN,
KCSAN, KMSAN, UBSAN). For KCSAN, we know that raw seqcount_latch usage
without annotations will result in false positive reports: tell it that
all of __sched_clock() is "atomic" for the latch reader; later changes
in this series will take care of the writers.
