When a CPU is the last active in the hierarchy and it tries to enter
into idle, the quick check looking up the next event towards cpuidle
heuristics may report a too late expiry, such as in the following
scenario:
[GRP1:0]
migrator = NONE
active = NONE
nextevt = T0:0, T0:1
/ \
[GRP0:0] [GRP0:1]
migrator = NONE migrator = NONE
active = NONE active = NONE
nextevt = T0, T1 nextevt = T2
/ \ / \
0 1 2 3
idle idle idle idle
0) The whole system is idle, and CPU 0 was the last migrator. CPU 0 has
a timer (T0), CPU 1 has a timer (T1) and CPU 2 has a timer (T2). The
expire order is T0 < T1 < T2.
[GRP1:0]
migrator = GRP0:0
active = GRP0:0
nextevt = T0:0(i), T0:1
/ \
[GRP0:0] [GRP0:1]
migrator = CPU0 migrator = NONE
active = CPU0 active = NONE
nextevt = T0(i), T1 nextevt = T2
/ \ / \
0 1 2 3
active idle idle idle
1) CPU 0 becomes active. The (i) means a now ignored timer.
[GRP1:0]
migrator = GRP0:0
active = GRP0:0
nextevt = T0:1
/ \
[GRP0:0] [GRP0:1]
migrator = CPU0 migrator = NONE
active = CPU0 active = NONE
nextevt = T1 nextevt = T2
/ \ / \
0 1 2 3
active idle idle idle
2) CPU 0 handles remote. No timer actually expired but ignored timers
have been cleaned out and their sibling's timers haven't been
propagated. As a result the top level's next event is T2 and not T1.
3) CPU 0 tries to enter idle without any global timer enqueued and calls
tmigr_quick_check(). The expiry of T2 is returned instead of the
expiry of T1.
When the quick check returns an expiry that is too late, the cpuidle
governor may pick up a C-state that is too deep. This may be result into
undesired CPU wake up latency if the next timer is actually close enough.
Fix this with assuming that expiries aren't sorted top-down while
performing the quick check. Pick up instead the earliest encountered one
while walking up the hierarchy.

The next timer (re-)evaluation, with the purpose of entering/updating
the dyntick mode, can happen from 3 sites and none of them are relevant
while the CPU is offline:
1) The idle loop:
a) From the quick check helping the cpuidle governor to heuristically
predict the best C-state.
b) While stopping the tick.
But if the CPU is offline, the tick has been cancelled and there is
consequently no need to further stop the tick.
2) Remote expiry: when a CPU remotely expires global timers on behalf of
another CPU, the latter target's next timer is re-evaluated
afterwards. However remote expîry doesn't happen on offline CPUs.
3) IRQ exit: on nohz_full mode, the tick is (re-)evaluated on IRQ exit.
But full dynticks is disabled on offline CPUs.
Therefore it is safe to assume that no next dyntick timer lookup can
be performed on offline CPUs.
Assert this expectation to report any surprise.

The timekeeping duty is handed over from the outgoing CPU on stop
machine, then the oneshot tick is stopped right after. Therefore it's
guaranteed that the current CPU isn't the timekeeper upon its last call
to idle.
Besides, calling tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() while the dying CPU goes
into idle suggests that the tick is going to be stopped while it is
actually stopped already from the appropriate CPU hotplug state.
Remove the confusing call and the obsolete case handling and convert it

The timekeeping duty is handed over from the outgoing CPU within stop
machine. This works well if CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON=n or the tick is in
high-res mode. However in low-res dynticks mode, the tick isn't
cancelled until the clockevent is shut down, which can happen later. The
tick may therefore fire again once IRQs are re-enabled on stop machine
and until IRQs are disabled for good upon the last call to idle.
That's so many opportunities for a timekeeper to go idle and the
outgoing CPU to take over that duty. This is why
tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() is called one last time on idle if the CPU
is seen offline: so that the timekeeping duty is handed over again in
case the CPU has re-taken the duty.
This means there are two timekeeping handovers on CPU down hotplug with
different undocumented constraints and purposes:
1) A handover on stop machine for !dynticks || highres. All online CPUs
are guaranteed to be non-idle and the timekeeping duty can be safely
handed-over. The hrtimer tick is cancelled so it is guaranteed that in
dynticks mode the outgoing CPU won't take again the duty.
2) A handover on last idle call for dynticks && lowres. Setting the
duty to TICK_DO_TIMER_NONE makes sure that a CPU will take over the
timekeeping.
Prepare for consolidating the handover to a single place (the first one)
with shutting down the low-res tick as well from
tick_cancel_sched_timer() as well. This will simplify the handover and
unify the tick cancellation between high-res and low-res.

The nohz mode field tells about low resolution nohz mode or high
resolution nohz mode but it doesn't tell about high resolution non-nohz
mode.
In order to retrieve the latter state, tick_cancel_sched_timer() must
fiddle with struct hrtimer's internals to guess if the tick has been
initialized in high resolution.
Move instead the nohz mode field information into the tick flags and
provide two new bits: one to know if the tick is in nohz mode and
another one to know if the tick is in high resolution. The combination
of those two flags provides all the needed informations to determine

tick_nohz_idle_got_tick() is called by cpuidle_reflect() within the idle
loop with interrupts enabled. This function modifies the struct
tick_sched's bitfield "got_idle_tick". However this bitfield is stored
within the same mask as other bitfields that can be modified from
interrupts.
Fortunately so far it looks like the only race that can happen is while
writing ->got_idle_tick to 0, an interrupt fires and writes the
->idle_active field to 0. It's then possible that the interrupted write
to ->got_idle_tick writes back the old value of ->idle_active back to 1.
However if that happens, the worst possible outcome is that the time
spent between that interrupt and the upcoming call to
tick_nohz_idle_exit() is accounted as idle, which is negligible quantity.
Still all the bitfield writes within this struct tick_sched's shadow
mask should be IRQ-safe. Therefore move this bitfield out to its own
storage to avoid further suprises.

stopped even though the nohz mode is inactive, it still moves on in
order to update/restart the tick if needed.
However in order for the tick to be stopped, the nohz_mode has to be

During the CPU offlining process, the various timer tick features are
shut down from scattered places, sometimes from teardown callbacks on
stop machine, sometimes through explicit calls, sometimes from the
control CPU after the CPU died. The reason why these shutdown operations
are spread around is not always clear and it makes the tick lifecycle
hard to follow.
The tick should be shut down in order from highest to lowest level:
On stop machine from the dying CPU (high-level):
1) Hand-over the timekeeping duty (tick_handover_do_timer())
2) Cancel the tick implementation called by the clockevent callback
(tick_cancel_sched_timer())
3) Shutdown broadcasting (tick_offline_cpu() / tick_broadcast_offline())
On stop machine from the dying CPU (low-level):
4) Shutdown clockevents drivers (CPUHP_AP_*_TIMER_STARTING states)
From the control CPU after the CPU died (low-level):
5) Shutdown/unregister/cleanup clockevents for the dead CPU
(tick_cleanup_dead_cpu())
Instead the current order is 2, 4 (both from CPU hotplug states), then
1 and 3 through direct calls. This layout and order don't make much
sense. The operations 1, 2, 3 should be gathered together and in order.
Sort this situation with creating a new TICK shut-down CPU hotplug state
and start with introducing the timekeeping duty hand-over there. The
state must precede hrtimers migration because the tick hrtimer will be
stopped from it in a further patch.

Placing timers at enqueue time on a target CPU based on dubious heuristics
does not make any sense:
1) Most timer wheel timers are canceled or rearmed before they expire.
2) The heuristics to predict which CPU will be busy when the timer expires
are wrong by definition.
So placing the timers at enqueue wastes precious cycles.
The proper solution to this problem is to always queue the timers on the
local CPU and allow the non pinned timers to be pulled onto a busy CPU at
expiry time.
Therefore split the timer storage into local pinned and global timers:
Local pinned timers are always expired on the CPU on which they have been
queued. Global timers can be expired on any CPU.
As long as a CPU is busy it expires both local and global timers. When a
CPU goes idle it arms for the first expiring local timer. If the first
expiring pinned (local) timer is before the first expiring movable timer,
then no action is required because the CPU will wake up before the first
movable timer expires. If the first expiring movable timer is before the
first expiring pinned (local) timer, then this timer is queued into an idle
timerqueue and eventually expired by another active CPU.
To avoid global locking the timerqueues are implemented as a hierarchy. The
lowest level of the hierarchy holds the CPUs. The CPUs are associated to
groups of 8, which are separated per node. If more than one CPU group
exist, then a second level in the hierarchy collects the groups. Depending
on the size of the system more than 2 levels are required. Each group has a
"migrator" which checks the timerqueue during the tick for remote expirable
timers.
If the last CPU in a group goes idle it reports the first expiring event in
the group up to the next group(s) in the hierarchy. If the last CPU goes
idle it arms its timer for the first system wide expiring timer to ensure
that no timer event is missed.

model it's required to have separate expiry times for the pinned and the
non-pinned (movable) timers. Therefore struct timer_events is introduced.

Separate the storage space for pinned timers. Deferrable timers (doesn't
matter if pinned or non pinned) are still enqueued into their own base.
This is preparatory work for changing the NOHZ timer placement from a push
at enqueue time to a pull at expiry time model.

The logic for raising a softirq the way it is implemented right now, is
readable for two timer bases. When increasing the number of timer bases,
code gets harder to read. With the introduction of the timer migration
hierarchy, there will be three timer bases.
Therefore restructure the code to use a loop. No functional change.

When adding a timer to the timer wheel using add_timer_on(), it is an
implicitly pinned timer. With the timer pull at expiry time model in place,
the TIMER_PINNED flag is required to make sure timers end up in proper
base.
Set the TIMER_PINNED flag unconditionally when add_timer_on() is executed.

The implementation of the NOHZ pull at expiry model will change the timer
bases per CPU. Timers, that have to expire on a specific CPU, require the
TIMER_PINNED flag. If the CPU doesn't matter, the TIMER_PINNED flag must be
dropped. This is required for call sites which use the timer alternately as
pinned and not pinned timer like workqueues do.
Therefore use add_timer_global() in __queue_delayed_work() for non-bound
delayed work to make sure the TIMER_PINNED flag is dropped.

A timer might be used as a pinned timer (using add_timer_on()) and later on
as non-pinned timer using add_timer(). When the "NOHZ timer pull at expiry
model" is in place, the TIMER_PINNED flag is required to be used whenever a
timer needs to expire on a dedicated CPU. Otherwise the flag must not be
set if expiration on a dedicated CPU is not required.
add_timer_on()'s behavior will be changed during the preparation patches
for the "NOHZ timer pull at expiry model" to unconditionally set the
TIMER_PINNED flag. To be able to clear/ set the flag when queueing a
timer, two variants of add_timer() are introduced.
This is a preparatory step and has no functional change.

When tick is stopped also the timer base is_idle flag is set. When
reentering timer_base_try_to_set_idle() with the tick stopped, there is no
need to check whether the timer base needs to be set idle again. When a
timer was enqueued in the meantime, this is already handled by the
tick_nohz_next_event() call which was executed before
tick_nohz_stop_tick().

The timer base is marked idle when get_next_timer_interrupt() is
executed. But the decision whether the tick will be stopped and whether the
system is able to go idle is done later. When the timer bases is marked
idle and a new first timer is enqueued remote an IPI is raised. Even if it
is not required because the tick is not stopped and the timer base is
evaluated again at the next tick.
To prevent this, the timer base is marked idle in tick_nohz_stop_tick() and
get_next_timer_interrupt() is streamlined by only looking for the next timer
interrupt. All other work is postponed to timer_base_try_to_set_idle() which is
called by tick_nohz_stop_tick(). timer_base_try_to_set_idle() never resets
timer_base::is_idle state. This is done when the tick is restarted via
tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick().
With this, tick_sched::tick_stopped and timer_base::is_idle are always in
sync. So there is no longer the need to execute timer_clear_idle() in
tick_nohz_idle_retain_tick(). This was required before, as
tick_nohz_next_event() set timer_base::is_idle even if the tick would not be
stopped. So timer_clear_idle() is only executed, when timer base is idle. So the
check whether timer base is idle, is now no longer required as well.
While at it fix some nearby whitespace damage as well.

On a 8-socket server the TSC is wrongly marked as 'unstable' and disabled
during boot time on about one out of 120 boot attempts:
clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU227: wd-tsc-wd excessive read-back delay of 153560ns vs. limit of 125000ns,
wd-wd read-back delay only 11440ns, attempt 3, marking tsc unstable
tsc: Marking TSC unstable due to clocksource watchdog
TSC found unstable after boot, most likely due to broken BIOS. Use 'tsc=unstable'.
sched_clock: Marking unstable (119294969739, 159204297)<-(125446229205, -5992055152)
clocksource: Checking clocksource tsc synchronization from CPU 319 to CPUs 0,99,136,180,210,542,601,896.
clocksource: Switched to clocksource hpet
The reason is that for platform with a large number of CPUs, there are
sporadic big or huge read latencies while reading the watchog/clocksource
during boot or when system is under stress work load, and the frequency and
maximum value of the latency goes up with the number of online CPUs.
The cCurrent code already has logic to detect and filter such high latency
case by reading the watchdog twice and checking the two deltas. Due to the
randomness of the latency, there is a low probabilty that the first delta
(latency) is big, but the second delta is small and looks valid. The
watchdog code retries the readouts by default twice, which is not
necessarily sufficient for systems with a large number of CPUs.
There is a command line parameter 'max_cswd_read_retries' which allows to
increase the number of retries, but that's not user friendly as it needs to
be tweaked per system. As the number of required retries is proportional to
the number of online CPUs, this parameter can be calculated at runtime.
Scale and enlarge the number of retries according to the number of online
CPUs and remove the command line parameter completely.
