[PATCH 0/3 v2] hrtimer: Fix timers queued locally from offline CPUs

[Frederic Weisbecker]

5c0930ccaad5 ("hrtimers: Push pending hrtimers away from outgoing CPU earlier")
was introduced to fix stalls with scheduler bandwidth timers getting
migrated while some kthreads handling CPU hotplug rely on bandwidth.

However this has introduced several other issues which used to be
confined to RCU. But not anymore as it is spreading to hotplug code
itself (https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241213203739.1519801-1-usamaarif642@gmail.com/)

Instead of introducing yet another new hackery, fix the problem in
hrtimers for everyone.

Changes since v1:

_ Fix a build issue when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n (folded #ifdeffery by Paul)

_ Remove the unconditionaly base lock within the IPI when both nohz and
  high resolution are off. There is really nothing to do for the IPI in
  such case.

    CPUHP_AP_HRTIMERS_DYING

[PATCH 1/3 v2] hrtimers: Force migrate away hrtimers queued after CPUHP_AP_HRTIMERS_DYING

[Frederic Weisbecker]

hrtimers are migrated away from the dying CPU to any online target at
the CPUHP_AP_HRTIMERS_DYING stage in order not to delay bandwidth timers
handling tasks involved in the CPU hotplug forward progress.

However wake ups can still be performed by the outgoing CPU after
CPUHP_AP_HRTIMERS_DYING. Those can result again in bandwidth timers
being armed. Depending on several considerations (crystal ball
power management based election, earliest timer already enqueued, timer
migration enabled or not), the target may eventually be the current
CPU even if offline. If that happens, the timer is eventually ignored.

The most notable example is RCU which had to deal with each an every of
those wake-ups by deferring them to an online CPU, along with related
workarounds:

_ e787644caf76 (rcu: Defer RCU kthreads wakeup when CPU is dying)
_ 9139f93209d1 (rcu/nocb: Fix RT throttling hrtimer armed from offline CPU)
_ f7345ccc62a4 (rcu/nocb: Fix rcuog wake-up from offline softirq)

The problem isn't confined to RCU though as the stop machine kthread
(which runs CPUHP_AP_HRTIMERS_DYING) reports its completion at the end
and performs a wake up that eventually arms the deadline server timer:

Instead of providing yet another bandaid to work around the situation,
fix it from hrtimers infrastructure instead: always migrate away a
timer to an online target whenever it is enqueued from an offline CPU.

This will also allow to revert all the above RCU disgraceful hacks.

Should there be lockdep_assert_held(&old_cpu_base->lock) before this?
We are assuming enqueue_hrtimer_offline is being called with the lock held?

nits: An extra new line above, and it might be a personal preference, but
I think its better if there is an empty enqueue_hrtimer_offline function
in the else part of ifdef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU instead of enclosing the body of the
function in the ifdef.

[PATCH 2/3 v2] rcu: Remove swake_up_one_online() bandaid

[Frederic Weisbecker]

It's now ok to perform a wake-up from an offline CPU because the
resulting armed scheduler bandwidth hrtimers are now correctly targeted
by hrtimer infrastructure.

Remove the obsolete hackerry.

[PATCH 3/3 v2] Revert "rcu/nocb: Fix rcuog wake-up from offline softirq"

[Frederic Weisbecker]

This reverts commit f7345ccc62a4b880cf76458db5f320725f28e400.

swake_up_one_online() has been removed because hrtimers can now assign
a proper online target to hrtimers queued from offline CPUs. Therefore
remove the related hackery.

I expect that this result applies to v3 as well.  ;-)
