nohz: Implement wide kick on top of irq work

It simplifies it and allows wide kick to be performed, even when IRQs
are disabled, without an asynchronous level in the middle.

This comes at a cost of some more overhead on features like perf and
posix cpu timers slow-paths, which is probably not much important
for nohz full users.

tick/nohz: Set the correct expiry when switching to nohz/lowres mode

commit 0ff53d096422 sets the next tick interrupt to the last jiffies update,
i.e. in the past, because the forward operation is invoked before the set
operation. There is no resulting damage (yet), but we get an extra pointless
tick interrupt.

Revert the order so we get the next tick interrupt in the future.

A couple of functions in kernel/time/tick-sched.c are only

about them:

This encloses the whole set of functions in an appropriate ifdef

watchdog: introduce touch_softlockup_watchdog_sched()

touch_softlockup_watchdog() is used to tell watchdog that scheduler
stall is expected. One group of usage is from paths where the task
may not be able to yield for a long time such as performing slow PIO
to finicky device and coming out of suspend. The other is to account
for scheduler and timer going idle.

For scheduler softlockup detection, there's no reason to distinguish
the two cases; however, workqueue lockup detector is planned and it
can use the same signals from the former group while the latter would
spuriously prevent detection. This patch introduces a new function
touch_softlockup_watchdog_sched() and convert the latter group to call
it instead. For now, it just calls touch_softlockup_watchdog() and
there's no functional difference.

nohz: Restart nohz full tick from irq exit

Restart the tick when necessary from the irq exit path. It makes nohz
full more flexible, simplify the related IPIs and doesn't bring
significant overhead on irq exit.

In a longer term view, it will allow us to piggyback the nohz kick
on the scheduler IPI in the future instead of sending a dedicated IPI
that often doubles the scheduler IPI on task wakeup. This will require
more changes though including careful review of resched_curr() callers
to include nohz full needs.

timer: Reduce timer migration overhead if disabled

Eric reported that the timer_migration sysctl is not really nice
performance wise as it needs to check at every timer insertion whether
the feature is enabled or not. Further the check does not live in the
timer code, so we have an extra function call which checks an extra
cache line to figure out that it is disabled.

We can do better and store that information in the per cpu (hr)timer
bases. I pondered to use a static key, but that's a nightmare to
update from the nohz code and the timer base cache line is hot anyway
when we select a timer base.

The old logic enabled the timer migration unconditionally if
CONFIG_NO_HZ was set even if nohz was disabled on the kernel command
line.

With this modification, we start off with migration disabled. The user
visible sysctl is still set to enabled. If the kernel switches to NOHZ
migration is enabled, if the user did not disable it via the sysctl
prior to the switch. If nohz=off is on the kernel command line,
migration stays disabled no matter what.

So something enabled interrupts in the periodic tick handling machinery,
and that code path indeed has a local_irq_disable()/enable pair in

tick: Nohz: Rework next timer evaluation

The evaluation of the next timer in the nohz code is based on jiffies
while all the tick internals are nano seconds based. We have also to
convert hrtimer nanoseconds to jiffies in the !highres case. That's
just wrong and introduces interesting corner cases.

Turn it around and convert the next timer wheel timer expiry and the
rcu event to clock monotonic and base all calculations on
nanoseconds. That identifies the case where no timer is pending
clearly with an absolute expiry value of KTIME_MAX.

Makes the code more readable and gets rid of the jiffies magic in the
nohz code.

tick: sched: Force tick interrupt and get rid of softirq magic

We already got rid of the hrtimer reprogramming loops and hoops as
hrtimer now enforces an interrupt if the enqueued time is in the past.

Do the same for the nohz non highres mode. That gets rid of the need
to raise the softirq which only serves the purpose of getting the
machine out of the inner idle loop.
