Add a kthread_stop_put() helper that stops a thread and puts its task

Remove the kthread_stop_put() macro in usbip that is similar but doesn't

cpu/hotplug: Add CPU state tracking and synchronization

The CPU state tracking and synchronization mechanism in smpboot.c is
completely independent of the hotplug code and all logic around it is
implemented in architecture specific code.

Except for the state reporting of the AP there is absolutely nothing
architecture specific and the sychronization and decision functions can be
moved into the generic hotplug core code.

Provide an integrated variant and add the core synchronization and decision
points. This comes in two flavours:

1) DEAD state synchronization

Updated by the architecture code once the AP reaches the point where
it is ready to be torn down by the control CPU, e.g. by removing power
or clocks or tear down via the hypervisor.

The control CPU waits for this state to be reached with a timeout. If
the state is reached an architecture specific cleanup function is
invoked.

2) Full state synchronization

This extends #1 with AP alive synchronization. This is new
functionality, which allows to replace architecture specific wait
mechanims, e.g. cpumasks, completely.

It also prevents that an AP which is in a limbo state can be brought
up again. This can happen when an AP failed to report dead state
during a previous off-line operation.

The dead synchronization is what most architectures use. Only x86 makes a
bringup decision based on that state at the moment.

Use atomic_try_cmpxchg instead of atomic_cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old

success in ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg (and
related move instruction in front of cmpxchg). Also, atomic_try_cmpxchg
implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old" when cmpxchg fails, enabling
further code simplifications.

cpu/hotplug: Allow the CPU in CPU_UP_PREPARE state to be brought up again.

A CPU will not show up in virtualized environment which includes an
Enclave. The VM splits its resources into a primary VM and a Enclave
VM. While the Enclave is active, the hypervisor will ignore all requests to
bring up a CPU and this CPU will remain in CPU_UP_PREPARE state.

The kernel will wait up to ten seconds for CPU to show up (do_boot_cpu())
and then rollback the hotplug state back to CPUHP_OFFLINE leaving the CPU
state in CPU_UP_PREPARE. The CPU state is set back to CPUHP_TEARDOWN_CPU
during the CPU_POST_DEAD stage.

After the Enclave VM terminates, the primary VM can bring up the CPU
again.

Allow to bring up the CPU if it is in the CPU_UP_PREPARE state.

smpboot: fix duplicate and misplaced inlining directive

gcc doesn't care, but clang quite reasonably pointed out that the recent
commit e9ba16e68cce ("smpboot: Mark idle_init() as __always_inlined to
work around aggressive compiler un-inlining") did some really odd
things:

kernel/smpboot.c:50:20: warning: duplicate 'inline' declaration specifier [-Wduplicate-decl-specifier]
static inline void __always_inline idle_init(unsigned int cpu)
^

which not only has that duplicate inlining specifier, but the new
__always_inline was put in the wrong place of the function definition.

We put the storage class specifiers (ie things like "static" and
"extern") first, and the type information after that. And while the
compiler may not care, we put the inline specifier before the types.

So it should be just

static __always_inline void idle_init(unsigned int cpu)

instead.

sched/core: Initialize the idle task with preemption disabled

de9b8f5dcbd9 ("sched: Fix crash trying to dequeue/enqueue the idle thread")

init_idle() can and will be invoked more than once on the same idle
task. At boot time, it is invoked for the boot CPU thread by
sched_init(). Then smp_init() creates the threads for all the secondary
CPUs and invokes init_idle() on them.

As the hotplug machinery brings the secondaries to life, it will issue
calls to idle_thread_get(), which itself invokes init_idle() yet again.
In this case it's invoked twice more per secondary: at _cpu_up(), and at
bringup_cpu().

Given smp_init() already initializes the idle tasks for all *possible*
CPUs, no further initialization should be required. Now, removing
init_idle() from idle_thread_get() exposes some interesting expectations
with regards to the idle task's preempt_count: the secondary startup always
issues a preempt_disable(), requiring some reset of the preempt count to 0
between hot-unplug and hotplug, which is currently served by
idle_thread_get() -> idle_init().

Given the idle task is supposed to have preemption disabled once and never
see it re-enabled, it seems that what we actually want is to initialize its
preempt_count to PREEMPT_DISABLED and leave it there. Do that, and remove
init_idle() from idle_thread_get().

However, these two things are not sufficient, PF_NO_SETAFFINITY is
also set on other tasks that have their affinities controlled through
other means, like for instance workqueues.

Therefore another bit is needed; it turns out kthread_create_per_cpu()
already has such a bit: KTHREAD_IS_PER_CPU, which is used to make
kthread_park()/kthread_unpark() work correctly.

Expose this flag and remove the implicit setting of it from

watchdog/core, powerpc: Lock cpus across reconfiguration

Instead of dropping the cpu hotplug lock after stopping NMI watchdog and
threads and reaquiring for restart, the code and the protection rules
become more obvious when holding cpu hotplug lock across the full
reconfiguration.

smpboot/threads, watchdog/core: Avoid runtime allocation

smpboot_update_cpumask_threads_percpu() allocates a temporary cpumask at
runtime. This is suboptimal because the call site needs more code size for
proper error handling than a statically allocated temporary mask requires
data size.

Add static temporary cpumask. The function is globaly serialized, so no
further protection required.

Remove the half baken error handling in the watchdog code and get rid of
the export as there are no in tree modular users of that function.

sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to <linux/sched/task.h>

We are going to split <linux/sched/task.h> out of <linux/sched.h>, which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.

Create a trivial placeholder <linux/sched/task.h> file that just
maps to <linux/sched.h> to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

kthread/smpboot: do not park in kthread_create_on_cpu()

kthread_create_on_cpu() was added by the commit 2a1d446019f9a5983e
("kthread: Implement park/unpark facility"). It is currently used only
when enabling new CPU. For this purpose, the newly created kthread has to
be parked.

The CPU binding is a bit tricky. The kthread is parked when the CPU has
not been allowed yet. And the CPU is bound when the kthread is unparked.

The function would be useful for more per-CPU kthreads, e.g.
bnx2fc_thread, fcoethread. For this purpose, the newly created kthread
should stay in the uninterruptible state.

This patch moves the parking into smpboot. It binds the thread already
when created. Then the function might be used universally. Also the
behavior is consistent with kthread_create() and kthread_create_on_node().
