8cb75e0c4e sched/preempt: Fix up missed PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED folding
With various drivers wanting to inject idle time; we get people
calling idle routines outside of the idle loop proper.

Therefore we need to be extra careful about not missing
TIF_NEED_RESCHED -> PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED propagations.

While looking at this, I also realized there's a small window in the
existing idle loop where we can miss TIF_NEED_RESCHED; when it hits
right after the tif_need_resched() test at the end of the loop but
right before the need_resched() test at the start of the loop.

So move preempt_fold_need_resched() out of the loop where we're
guaranteed to have TIF_NEED_RESCHED set.

f27dde8dee sched: Add NEED_RESCHED to the preempt_count
In order to combine the preemption and need_resched test we need to
fold the need_resched information into the preempt_count value.

Since the NEED_RESCHED flag is set across CPUs this needs to be an
atomic operation, however we very much want to avoid making
preempt_count atomic, therefore we keep the existing TIF_NEED_RESCHED
infrastructure in place but at 3 sites test it and fold its value into
preempt_count; namely:

 - resched_task() when setting TIF_NEED_RESCHED on the current task
 - scheduler_ipi() when resched_task() sets TIF_NEED_RESCHED on a
                   remote task it follows it up with a reschedule IPI
                   and we can modify the cpu local preempt_count from
                   there.
 - cpu_idle_loop() for when resched_task() found tsk_is_polling().

We use an inverted bitmask to indicate need_resched so that a 0 means
both need_resched and !atomic.

Also remove the barrier() in preempt_enable() between
preempt_enable_no_resched() and preempt_check_resched() to avoid
having to reload the preemption value and allow the compiler to use
the flags of the previuos decrement. I couldn't come up with any sane
reason for this barrier() to be there as preempt_enable_no_resched()
already has a barrier() before doing the decrement.

ea81174789 sched, idle: Fix the idle polling state logic
Mike reported that commit 7d1a9417 ("x86: Use generic idle loop")
regressed several workloads and caused excessive reschedule
interrupts.

The patch in question failed to notice that the x86 code had an
inverted sense of the polling state versus the new generic code (x86:
default polling, generic: default !polling).

Fix the two prominent x86 mwait based idle drivers and introduce a few
new generic polling helpers (fixing the wrong smp_mb__after_clear_bit
usage).

Also switch the idle routines to using tif_need_resched() which is an
immediate TIF_NEED_RESCHED test as opposed to need_resched which will
end up being slightly different.

29ce3785b2 idle: Enable interrupts in the weak arch_cpu_idle() implementation
PARISC bootup triggers the warning at kernel/cpu/idle.c:96. That's
caused by the weak arch_cpu_idle() implementation, which is provided
to avoid that architectures implement idle_poll over and over.

The switchover to polling mode happens in the first call of the weak
arch_cpu_idle() implementation, but that code fails to reenable
interrupts and therefor triggers the warning.

Fix this by enabling interrupts in the weak arch_cpu_idle() code.

[ tglx: Made the changelog match the patch ]

d7880812b3 idle: Add the stack canary init to cpu_startup_entry()
Moving x86 to the generic idle implementation (commit 7d1a9417 "x86:
Use generic idle loop") wreckaged the stack protector.

I stupidly missed that boot_init_stack_canary() must be inlined from a
function which never returns, but I put that call into
arch_cpu_idle_prepare() which of course returns.

I pondered to play tricks with arch_cpu_idle_prepare() first, but then
I noticed, that the other archs which have implemented the
stackprotector (ARM and SH) do not initialize the canary for the
non-boot cpus.

So I decided to move the boot_init_stack_canary() call into
cpu_startup_entry() ifdeffed with an CONFIG_X86 for now. This #ifdef
is just a temporary measure as I don't want to inflict the
boot_init_stack_canary() call on ARM and SH that late in the cycle.

I'll queue a patch for 3.11 which removes the #ifdef if the ARM/SH
maintainers have no objection.

The warning is that 'rdtp->dynticks' has an unexpected value, which roughly
translates to - the calls to rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit() were not
made in the correct order, or otherwise messed up.

And Bjørn's painstaking debugging indicated that this happens when the idle
loop enters the poll mode. Looking at the poll function cpu_idle_poll(), and
the implementation of trace_cpu_idle_rcuidle(), the problem becomes very clear:
cpu_idle_poll() lacks calls to rcu_idle_enter/exit(), and trace_cpu_idle_rcuidle()
calls them in the reverse order - first rcu_idle_exit(), and then rcu_idle_enter().
Hence the even/odd alternative sequencing of rdtp->dynticks goes for a toss.

And powertop readily triggers this because powertop uses the idle-tracing
infrastructure extensively.

So, to fix this, wrap the code in cpu_idle_poll() within rcu_idle_enter/exit(),
so that it blends properly with the calls inside trace_cpu_idle_rcuidle() and
thus get the function ordering right.

ab86e974f0 Merge branch 'timers-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull core timer updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle's merge are:

   - Implement shadow timekeeper to shorten in kernel reader side
     blocking, by Thomas Gleixner.

   - Posix timers enhancements by Pavel Emelyanov:

   - allocate timer ID per process, so that exact timer ID allocations
     can be re-created be checkpoint/restore code.

   - debuggability and tooling (/proc/PID/timers, etc.) improvements.

   - suspend/resume enhancements by Feng Tang: on certain new Intel Atom
     processors (Penwell and Cloverview), there is a feature that the
     TSC won't stop in S3 state, so the TSC value won't be reset to 0
     after resume.  This can be taken advantage of by the generic via
     the CLOCK_SOURCE_SUSPEND_NONSTOP flag: instead of using the RTC to
     recover/approximate sleep time, the main (and precise) clocksource
     can be used.

   - Fix /proc/timer_list for 4096 CPUs by Nathan Zimmer: on so many
     CPUs the file goes beyond 4MB of size and thus the current
     simplistic seqfile approach fails.  Convert /proc/timer_list to a
     proper seq_file with its own iterator.

   - Cleanups and refactorings of the core timekeeping code by John
     Stultz.

   - International Atomic Clock time is managed by the NTP code
     internally currently but not exposed externally.  Separate the TAI
     code out and add CLOCK_TAI support and TAI support to the hrtimer
     and posix-timer code, by John Stultz.

   - Add deep idle support enhacement to the broadcast clockevents core
     timer code, by Daniel Lezcano: add an opt-in CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_DYNIRQ
     clockevents feature (which will be utilized by future clockevents
     driver updates), which allows the use of IRQ affinities to avoid
     spurious wakeups of idle CPUs - the right CPU with an expiring
     timer will be woken.

   - Add new ARM bcm281xx clocksource driver, by Christian Daudt

   - ... various other fixes and cleanups"
