Valentin Schneider 68f4ff04db sched, smp: Trace smp callback causing an IPI
Context
=======

The newly-introduced ipi_send_cpumask tracepoint has a "callback" parameter
which so far has only been fed with NULL.

While CSD_TYPE_SYNC/ASYNC and CSD_TYPE_IRQ_WORK share a similar backing
struct layout (meaning their callback func can be accessed without caring
about the actual CSD type), CSD_TYPE_TTWU doesn't even have a function
attached to its struct. This means we need to check the type of a CSD
before eventually dereferencing its associated callback.

This isn't as trivial as it sounds: the CSD type is stored in
__call_single_node.u_flags, which get cleared right before the callback is
executed via csd_unlock(). This implies checking the CSD type before it is
enqueued on the call_single_queue, as the target CPU's queue can be flushed
before we get to sending an IPI.

Furthermore, send_call_function_single_ipi() only has a CPU parameter, and
would need to have an additional argument to trickle down the invoked
function. This is somewhat silly, as the extra argument will always be
pushed down to the function even when nothing is being traced, which is
unnecessary overhead.

Changes
=======

send_call_function_single_ipi() is only used by smp.c, and is defined in
sched/core.c as it contains scheduler-specific ops (set_nr_if_polling() of
a CPU's idle task).

Split it into two parts: the scheduler bits remain in sched/core.c, and the
actual IPI emission is moved into smp.c. This lets us define an
__always_inline helper function that can take the related callback as
parameter without creating useless register pressure in the non-traced path
which only gains a (disabled) static branch.

Do the same thing for the multi IPI case.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
