smp: Provide generic idle thread allocation

All SMP architectures have magic to fork the idle task and to store it
for reusage when cpu hotplug is enabled. Provide a generic
infrastructure for it.

Create/reinit the idle thread for the cpu which is brought up in the
generic code and hand the thread pointer to the architecture code via
__cpu_up().

Note, that fork_idle() is called via a workqueue, because this
guarantees that the idle thread does not get a reference to a user
space VM. This can happen when the boot process did not bring up all
possible cpus and a later cpu_up() is initiated via the sysfs
interface. In that case fork_idle() would be called in the context of
the user space task and take a reference on the user space VM.

smp, idle: Allocate idle thread for each possible cpu during boot

percpu areas are already allocated during boot for each possible cpu.
percpu idle threads can be considered as an extension of the percpu areas,
and allocate them for each possible cpu during boot.

This will eliminate the need for workqueue based idle thread allocation.
In future we can move the idle thread area into the percpu area too.

[ tglx: Moved the loop into smpboot.c and added an error check when
  the init code failed to allocate an idle thread for a cpu which
  should be onlined ]

smpboot, idle: Optimize calls to smp_processor_id() in idle_threads_init()

While trying to initialize idle threads for all cpus, idle_threads_init()
calls smp_processor_id() in a loop, which is unnecessary. The intent
is to initialize idle threads for all non-boot cpus. So just use a variable
to note the boot cpu and use it in the loop.

kthread_worker: reimplement flush_kthread_work() to allow freeing the work item being executed

kthread_worker provides minimalistic workqueue-like interface for
users which need a dedicated worker thread (e.g. for realtime
priority).  It has basic queue, flush_work, flush_worker operations
which mostly match the workqueue counterparts; however, due to the way
flush_work() is implemented, it has a noticeable difference of not
allowing work items to be freed while being executed.

While the current users of kthread_worker are okay with the current
behavior, the restriction does impede some valid use cases.  Also,
removing this difference isn't difficult and actually makes the code
easier to understand.

This patch reimplements flush_kthread_work() such that it uses a
flush_work item instead of queue/done sequence numbers.

kthread: Implement park/unpark facility

To avoid the full teardown/setup of per cpu kthreads in the case of

smpboot: Provide infrastructure for percpu hotplug threads

Provide a generic interface for setting up and tearing down percpu
threads.

On registration the threads for already online cpus are created and
started. On deregistration (modules) the threads are stoppped.

During hotplug operations the threads are created, started, parked and
unparked. The datastructure for registration provides a pointer to
percpu storage space and optional setup, cleanup, park, unpark
functions. These functions are called when the thread state changes.

Each implementation has to provide a function which is queried and
returns whether the thread should run and the thread function itself.

The core code handles all state transitions and avoids duplicated code
in the call sites.

hotplug: Fix UP bug in smpboot hotplug code

Because kernel subsystems need their per-CPU kthreads on UP systems as
well as on SMP systems, the smpboot hotplug kthread functions must be
provided in UP builds as well as in SMP builds.  This commit therefore
adds smpboot.c to UP builds and excludes irrelevant code via #ifdef.

smpboot: Allow selfparking per cpu threads

The stop machine threads are still killed when a cpu goes offline. The
reason is that the thread is used to bring the cpu down, so it can't
be parked along with the other per cpu threads.

Allow a per cpu thread to be excluded from automatic parking, so it
can park itself once it's done

Add a create callback function as well.

kthread: Prevent unpark race which puts threads on the wrong cpu

The smpboot threads rely on the park/unpark mechanism which binds per
cpu threads on a particular core. Though the functionality is racy:

CPU0	       	 	CPU1  	     	    CPU2
unpark(T)				    wake_up_process(T)
  clear(SHOULD_PARK)	T runs
			leave parkme() due to !SHOULD_PARK
  bind_to(CPU2)		BUG_ON(wrong CPU)

We cannot let the tasks move themself to the target CPU as one of
those tasks is actually the migration thread itself, which requires
that it starts running on the target cpu right away.

The solution to this problem is to prevent wakeups in park mode which
are not from unpark(). That way we can guarantee that the association
of the task to the target cpu is working correctly.

Add a new task state (TASK_PARKED) which prevents other wakeups and
use this state explicitly for the unpark wakeup.

Peter noticed: Also, since the task state is visible to userspace and
all the parked tasks are still in the PID space, its a good hint in ps
and friends that these tasks aren't really there for the moment.

The migration thread has another related issue.

CPU0	      	     	 CPU1
Bring up CPU2
create_thread(T)
park(T)
 wait_for_completion()
			 parkme()
			 complete()
sched_set_stop_task()
			 schedule(TASK_PARKED)

The sched_set_stop_task() call is issued while the task is on the
runqueue of CPU1 and that confuses the hell out of the stop_task class
on that cpu. So we need the same synchronizaion before
sched_set_stop_task().

stop_machine: Mark per cpu stopper enabled early

commit 14e568e78 (stop_machine: Use smpboot threads) introduced the
following regression:

Before this commit the stopper enabled bit was set in the online
notifier.

CPU0				CPU1
cpu_up
				cpu online
hotplug_notifier(ONLINE)
  stopper(CPU1)->enabled = true;
...
stop_machine()

The conversion to smpboot threads moved the enablement to the wakeup
path of the parked thread. The majority of users seem to have the
following working order:

CPU0				CPU1
cpu_up
				cpu online
unpark_threads()
  wakeup(stopper[CPU1])
....
				stopper thread runs
				  stopper(CPU1)->enabled = true;
stop_machine()

But Konrad and Sander have observed:

CPU0				CPU1
cpu_up
				cpu online
unpark_threads()
  wakeup(stopper[CPU1])
....
stop_machine()
				stopper thread runs
				  stopper(CPU1)->enabled = true;

Now the stop machinery kicks CPU0 into the stop loop, where it gets
stuck forever because the queue code saw stopper(CPU1)->enabled ==
false, so CPU0 waits for CPU1 to enter stomp_machine, but the CPU1
stopper work got discarded due to enabled == false.

Add a pre_unpark function to the smpboot thread descriptor and call it
before waking the thread.

This fixes the problem at hand, but the stop_machine code should be
more robust. The stopper->enabled flag smells fishy at best.

Thanks to Konrad for going through a loop of debug patches and
providing the information to decode this issue.
