c5aa87bbf4 workqueue: update comments and a warning message
* Update incorrect and add missing synchronization labels.

* Update incorrect or misleading comments.  Add new comments where
  clarification is necessary.  Reformat / rephrase some comments.

* drain_workqueue() can be used separately from destroy_workqueue()
  but its warning message was incorrectly referring to destruction.

Other than the warning message change, this patch doesn't make any
functional changes.

983ca25e73 workqueue: fix max_active handling in init_and_link_pwq()
Since 9e8cd2f589 ("workqueue: implement apply_workqueue_attrs()"),
init_and_link_pwq() may be called to initialize a new pool_workqueue
for a workqueue which is already online, but the function was setting
pwq->max_active to wq->saved_max_active without proper
synchronization.

Fix it by calling pwq_adjust_max_active() under proper locking instead
of manually setting max_active.

699ce097ef workqueue: implement and use pwq_adjust_max_active()
Rename pwq_set_max_active() to pwq_adjust_max_active() and move
pool_workqueue->max_active synchronization and max_active
determination logic into it.

The new function should be called with workqueue_lock held for stable
workqueue->saved_max_active, determines the current max_active value
the target pool_workqueue should be using from @wq->saved_max_active
and the state of the associated pool, and applies it with proper
synchronization.

The current two users - workqueue_set_max_active() and
thaw_workqueues() - are updated accordingly.  In addition, the manual
freezing handling in __alloc_workqueue_key() and
freeze_workqueues_begin() are replaced with calls to
pwq_adjust_max_active().

This centralizes max_active handling so that it's less error-prone.

226223ab3c workqueue: implement sysfs interface for workqueues
There are cases where workqueue users want to expose control knobs to
userland.  e.g. Unbound workqueues with custom attributes are
scheduled to be used for writeback workers and depending on
configuration it can be useful to allow admins to tinker with the
priority or allowed CPUs.

This patch implements workqueue_sysfs_register(), which makes the
workqueue visible under /sys/bus/workqueue/devices/WQ_NAME.  There
currently are two attributes common to both per-cpu and unbound pools
and extra attributes for unbound pools including nice level and
cpumask.

If alloc_workqueue*() is called with WQ_SYSFS,
workqueue_sysfs_register() is called automatically as part of
workqueue creation.  This is the preferred method unless the workqueue
user wants to apply workqueue_attrs before making the workqueue
visible to userland.

v2: Disallow exposing ordered workqueues as ordered workqueues can't
    be tuned in any way.

8719dceae2 workqueue: reject adjusting max_active or applying attrs to ordered workqueues
Adjusting max_active of or applying new workqueue_attrs to an ordered
workqueue breaks its ordering guarantee.  The former is obvious.  The
latter is because applying attrs creates a new pwq (pool_workqueue)
and there is no ordering constraint between the old and new pwqs.

Make apply_workqueue_attrs() and workqueue_set_max_active() trigger
WARN_ON() if those operations are requested on an ordered workqueue
and fail / ignore respectively.

9e8cd2f589 workqueue: implement apply_workqueue_attrs()
Implement apply_workqueue_attrs() which applies workqueue_attrs to the
specified unbound workqueue by creating a new pwq (pool_workqueue)
linked to worker_pool with the specified attributes.

A new pwq is linked at the head of wq->pwqs instead of tail and
__queue_work() verifies that the first unbound pwq has positive refcnt
before choosing it for the actual queueing.  This is to cover the case
where creation of a new pwq races with queueing.  As base ref on a pwq
won't be dropped without making another pwq the first one,
__queue_work() is guaranteed to make progress and not add work item to
a dead pwq.

init_and_link_pwq() is updated to return the last first pwq the new
pwq replaced, which is put by apply_workqueue_attrs().

Note that apply_workqueue_attrs() is almost identical to unbound pwq
part of alloc_and_link_pwqs().  The only difference is that there is
no previous first pwq.  apply_workqueue_attrs() is implemented to
handle such cases and replaces unbound pwq handling in
alloc_and_link_pwqs().

c9178087ac workqueue: perform non-reentrancy test when queueing to unbound workqueues too
Because per-cpu workqueues have multiple pwqs (pool_workqueues) to
serve the CPUs, to guarantee that a single work item isn't queued on
one pwq while still executing another, __queue_work() takes a look at
the previous pool the target work item was on and if it's still
executing there, queue the work item on that pool.

To support changing workqueue_attrs on the fly, unbound workqueues too
will have multiple pwqs and thus need non-reentrancy test when
queueing.  This patch modifies __queue_work() such that the reentrancy
test is performed regardless of the workqueue type.

per_cpu_ptr(wq->cpu_pwqs, cpu) used to be used to determine the
matching pwq for the last pool.  This can't be used for unbound
workqueues and is replaced with worker->current_pwq which also happens
to be simpler.

75ccf5950f workqueue: prepare flush_workqueue() for dynamic creation and destrucion of unbound pool_workqueues
Unbound pwqs (pool_workqueues) will be dynamically created and
destroyed with the scheduled unbound workqueue w/ custom attributes
support.  This patch synchronizes pwq linking and unlinking against
flush_workqueue() so that its operation isn't disturbed by pwqs coming
and going.

Linking and unlinking a pwq into wq->pwqs is now protected also by
wq->flush_mutex and a new pwq's work_color is initialized to
wq->work_color during linking.  This ensures that pwqs changes don't
disturb flush_workqueue() in progress and the new pwq's work coloring
stays in sync with the rest of the workqueue.

flush_mutex during unlinking isn't strictly necessary but it's simpler
to do it anyway.

8864b4e59f workqueue: implement get/put_pwq()
Add pool_workqueue->refcnt along with get/put_pwq().  Both per-cpu and
unbound pwqs have refcnts and any work item inserted on a pwq
increments the refcnt which is dropped when the work item finishes.

For per-cpu pwqs the base ref is never dropped and destroy_workqueue()
frees the pwqs as before.  For unbound ones, destroy_workqueue()
simply drops the base ref on the first pwq.  When the refcnt reaches
zero, pwq_unbound_release_workfn() is scheduled on system_wq, which
unlinks the pwq, puts the associated pool and frees the pwq and wq as
necessary.  This needs to be done from a work item as put_pwq() needs
to be protected by pool->lock but release can't happen with the lock
held - e.g. put_unbound_pool() involves blocking operations.

Unbound pool->locks are marked with lockdep subclas 1 as put_pwq()
will schedule the release work item on system_wq while holding the
unbound pool's lock and triggers recursive locking warning spuriously.

This will be used to implement dynamic creation and destruction of
unbound pwqs.

493008a8e4 workqueue: drop WQ_RESCUER and test workqueue->rescuer for NULL instead

29c91e9912 workqueue: implement attribute-based unbound worker_pool management
This patch makes unbound worker_pools reference counted and
dynamically created and destroyed as workqueues needing them come and
go.  All unbound worker_pools are hashed on unbound_pool_hash which is
keyed by the content of worker_pool->attrs.

When an unbound workqueue is allocated, get_unbound_pool() is called
with the attributes of the workqueue.  If there already is a matching
worker_pool, the reference count is bumped and the pool is returned.
If not, a new worker_pool with matching attributes is created and
returned.

When an unbound workqueue is destroyed, put_unbound_pool() is called
which decrements the reference count of the associated worker_pool.
If the refcnt reaches zero, the worker_pool is destroyed in sched-RCU
safe way.

Note that the standard unbound worker_pools - normal and highpri ones
with no specific cpumask affinity - are no longer created explicitly
during init_workqueues().  init_workqueues() only initializes
workqueue_attrs to be used for standard unbound pools -
unbound_std_wq_attrs[].  The pools are spawned on demand as workqueues
are created.

v2: - Comment added to init_worker_pool() explaining that @pool should
      be in a condition which can be passed to put_unbound_pool() even
      on failure.

    - pool->refcnt reaching zero and the pool being removed from
      unbound_pool_hash should be dynamic.  pool->refcnt is converted
      to int from atomic_t and now manipulated inside workqueue_lock.

    - Removed an incorrect sanity check on nr_idle in
      put_unbound_pool() which may trigger spuriously.

    All changes were suggested by Lai Jiangshan.

7a4e344c56 workqueue: introduce workqueue_attrs
Introduce struct workqueue_attrs which carries worker attributes -
currently the nice level and allowed cpumask along with helper
routines alloc_workqueue_attrs() and free_workqueue_attrs().

pools.

Note that create_worker() is updated to always perform set_user_nice()
and use set_cpus_allowed_ptr() combined with manual assertion of
PF_THREAD_BOUND instead of kthread_bind().  This simplifies handling
random attributes without affecting the outcome.

34a06bd6b6 workqueue: replace POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS flag with worker_pool->manager_arb
POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS is used to synchronize the manager role.
Synchronizing among workers doesn't need blocking and that's why it's

It got converted to a mutex a while back to add blocking wait from CPU
hotplug path - 6037315269 ("workqueue: use mutex for global_cwq
manager exclusion").  Later it turned out that synchronization among
workers and cpu hotplug need to be done separately.  Eventually,
POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS is restored and workqueue->manager_mutex got
morphed into workqueue->assoc_mutex - 552a37e936 ("workqueue: restore
POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS") and b2eb83d123 ("workqueue: rename
manager_mutex to assoc_mutex").

Now, we're gonna need to be able to lock out managers from
destroy_workqueue() to support multiple unbound pools with custom
attributes making it again necessary to be able to block on the
manager role.  This patch replaces POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS with
worker_pool->manager_arb.

24b8a84718 workqueue: restructure pool / pool_workqueue iterations in freeze/thaw functions
The three freeze/thaw related functions - freeze_workqueues_begin(),
freeze_workqueues_busy() and thaw_workqueues() - need to iterate
through all pool_workqueues of all freezable workqueues.  They did it
by first iterating pools and then visiting all pwqs (pool_workqueues)
of all workqueues and process it if its pwq->pool matches the current
pool.  This is rather backwards and done this way partly because
workqueue didn't have fitting iteration helpers and partly to avoid
the number of lock operations on pool->lock.

Workqueue now has fitting iterators and the locking operation overhead
isn't anything to worry about - those locks are unlikely to be
contended and the same CPU visiting the same set of locks multiple
times isn't expensive.

Restructure the three functions such that the flow better matches the
logical steps and pwq iteration is done using for_each_pwq() inside
workqueue iteration.

* freeze_workqueues_begin(): Setting of FREEZING is moved into a
  separate for_each_pool() iteration.  pwq iteration for clearing
  max_active is updated as described above.

* freeze_workqueues_busy(): pwq iteration updated as described above.

* thaw_workqueues(): The single for_each_wq_cpu() iteration is broken
  into three discrete steps - clearing FREEZING, restoring max_active,
  and kicking workers.  The first and last steps use for_each_pool()
  and the second step uses pwq iteration described above.

This makes the code easier to understand and removes the use of
for_each_wq_cpu() for walking pwqs, which can't support multiple
unbound pwqs which will be needed to implement unbound workqueues with
custom attributes.

This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior changes.

as that now is the only place which is explicitly handling the two pwq
types.

30cdf2496d workqueue: add workqueue_struct->pwqs list
Add workqueue_struct->pwqs list and chain all pool_workqueues
belonging to a workqueue there.  This will be used to implement
generic pool_workqueue iteration and handle multiple pool_workqueues
for the scheduled unbound pools with custom attributes.

e904e6c266 workqueue: introduce kmem_cache for pool_workqueues
pool_workqueues need to be aligned to 1 << WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS as
the lower bits of work->data are used for flags when they're pointing
to pool_workqueues.

Due to historical reasons, unbound pool_workqueues are allocated using
kzalloc() with sufficient buffer area for alignment and aligned
manually.  The original pointer is stored at the end which free_pwqs()
retrieves when freeing it.

There's no reason for this hackery anymore.  Set alignment of struct
pool_workqueue to 1 << WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS, add kmem_cache for
pool_workqueues with proper alignment and replace the hacky alloc and
free implementation with plain kmem_cache_zalloc/free().

In case WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS gets shrunk too much and makes fields of
pool_workqueues misaligned, trigger WARN if the alignment of struct
pool_workqueue becomes smaller than that of long long.

Note that assertion on IS_ALIGNED() is removed from alloc_pwqs().  We
already have another one in pwq init loop in __alloc_workqueue_key().

This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior changes.

6183c009f6 workqueue: make sanity checks less punshing using WARN_ON[_ONCE]()s
Workqueue has been using mostly BUG_ON()s for sanity checks, which
fail unnecessarily harshly when the assertion doesn't hold.  Most
assertions can converted to be less drastic such that things can limp
along instead of dying completely.  Convert BUG_ON()s to
WARN_ON[_ONCE]()s with softer failure behaviors - e.g. if assertion
check fails in destroy_worker(), trigger WARN and silently ignore
destruction request.

Most conversions are trivial.  Note that sanity checks in
destroy_workqueue() are moved above removal from workqueues list so
that it can bail out without side-effects if assertion checks fail.

This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior changes during
normal operation.

b31041042a workqueue: better define synchronization rule around rescuer->pool updates
Rescuers visit different worker_pools to process work items from pools
under pressure.  Currently, rescuer->pool is updated outside any
locking and when an outsider looks at a rescuer, there's no way to
tell when and whether rescuer->pool is gonna change.  While this
doesn't currently cause any problem, it is nasty.

With recent worker_maybe_bind_and_lock() changes, we can move
rescuer->pool updates inside pool locks such that if rescuer->pool
equals a locked pool, it's guaranteed to stay that way until the pool
is unlocked.

Move rescuer->pool inside pool->lock.

  I would like to introduce the Linux port to ARC Processors (from

  lists since Nov and has received a fair bit of review, specially from
  Arnd, tglx, Al and other subsystem maintainers for DeviceTree, kgdb...

  The arch bits are in arch/arc, some asm-generic changes (acked by
  Arnd), a minor change to PARISC (acked by Helge).

  The series is a touch bigger for a new port for 2 main reasons:

   1. It enables a basic kernel in first sub-series and adds
      ptrace/kgdb/.. later

   2. Some of the fallout of review (DeviceTree support, multi-platform-
      image support) were added on top of orig series, primarily to
      record the revision history.

  This updated pull request additionally contains

   - fixes due to our GNU tools catching up with the new syscall/ptrace
     ABI

   - some (minor) cross-arch Kconfig updates."

a37372f6c3 kdb: Prevent kernel oops with kdb_defcmd
The kdb_defcmd can only be used to display the available command aliases
while using the kernel debug shell.  If you try to define a new macro
while the kernel debugger is active it will oops.  The debug shell
macros must use pre-allocated memory set aside at the time kdb_init()
is run, and the kdb_defcmd is restricted to only working at the time
that the kdb_init sequence is being run, which only occurs if you
actually activate the kernel debugger.
