Subject: [PATCH v11a] timers: Implement the hierarchical pull model
Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2024 11:37:04 +0100

Placing timers at enqueue time on a target CPU based on dubious heuristics
does not make any sense:

 1) Most timer wheel timers are canceled or rearmed before they expire.

 2) The heuristics to predict which CPU will be busy when the timer expires
    are wrong by definition.

So placing the timers at enqueue wastes precious cycles.

The proper solution to this problem is to always queue the timers on the
local CPU and allow the non pinned timers to be pulled onto a busy CPU at
expiry time.

Therefore split the timer storage into local pinned and global timers:
Local pinned timers are always expired on the CPU on which they have been
queued. Global timers can be expired on any CPU.

As long as a CPU is busy it expires both local and global timers. When a
CPU goes idle it arms for the first expiring local timer. If the first
expiring pinned (local) timer is before the first expiring movable timer,
then no action is required because the CPU will wake up before the first
movable timer expires. If the first expiring movable timer is before the
first expiring pinned (local) timer, then this timer is queued into an idle
timerqueue and eventually expired by another active CPU.

To avoid global locking the timerqueues are implemented as a hierarchy. The
lowest level of the hierarchy holds the CPUs. The CPUs are associated to
groups of 8, which are separated per node. If more than one CPU group
exist, then a second level in the hierarchy collects the groups. Depending
on the size of the system more than 2 levels are required. Each group has a
"migrator" which checks the timerqueue during the tick for remote expirable
timers.

If the last CPU in a group goes idle it reports the first expiring event in
the group up to the next group(s) in the hierarchy. If the last CPU goes
idle it arms its timer for the first system wide expiring timer to ensure
that no timer event is missed.

  - Drop unused 'leftmost_change' variable

v11:
  - Memory barriers for reading the group and child states
  - Fix handling of 'check' member of struct tmigr_walk when executing
    tmigr_requires_handle_remote()
  - Fix race when updating events by holding the lock when reading the
    group and child states
  - hand in next event as argument of tmigr_quick_check() to make sure
    first global timer of CPU is also taken into account when doing the
    forecast
  - fix race against failed CPU hotplug in tmigr_quick_check() by walking
    the hierarchy instead of relying on the per level hlist
  - Update missing and outdated comments

    updated and can be used
  - Frederics fix: Rework corner case, when last active CPU goes offline.

v10:
  - Fix fallout of 0day (s/unsigned int/int)
  - Adress review remarks of bigeasy

v9:
  - Adapt to the changes of the preceding patches
  - Fix state inconsitency (when timer base is idle, cpu must also be
    marked as idle in hierarchy)
  - Make sure new timers are considered, when timer base is idle and a
    timer is enqueued into global queue (e.g. during interrupt) ->
    timer_use_tmigr()
  - Changes which are required due to the timer code change of marking the
    timer base idle in tick_nohz_stop_tick()

v8:
  - Review of Frederic:
    - Fix hotplug race (introduction of wakeup_recalc)
    - Make wakeup and wakeup_recalc logic consistent all over the place
    - Fix child/group state race and read it with locks held
  - Add more clarifying comments
  - Fix grammar all over the place
  - change integers which act as boolean value into bool
  - rewrite condition in tmigr_check_migrator() without negation
  - Improve update events logic with a check of the first event
  - Implement a quick forecast which is called when
    get_next_timer_interrupt() is executed.

v7:
  - Review remarks of Frederic and bigeasy:
    - change logic in tmigr_handle_remote_cpu()
    - s/kzalloc/kcalloc
    - move timer_expire_remote() into NO_HZ_COMMON && SMP config section
    - drop DBG_BUG_ON() makro and use only WARN_ON_ONCE()
    - remove leftovers from sibling logic during setup
  - Move timer_expire_remote() into tick-internal.h
  - Add documentation section about "Required event and timerqueue update
    after remote expiry"
  - Fix fallout of kernel test robot

v6:
  - Fix typos
  - Review remarks of Peter Zijlstra (locking, struct member cleanup, use
    atomic_try_cmpxchg(), update struct member descriptions)
  - Fix race in tmigr_handle_remote_cpu() (Frederic Weisbecker)

v5:
  - Review remarks of Frederic
  - Return nextevt when CPU is marked offline in timer migration hierarchy
    instead of KTIME_MAX
  - Fix update of group events issue, after remote expiring

v4:
  - Fold typo fix in comment into proper patch "timer: Split out "get next
    timer interrupt" functionality"
  - Update wrong comment for tmigr_state union definition
  - Fix fallout of kernel test robot

+ *
+ * The groups hold a timer queue of events sorted by expiry time. These
+ * queues are updated when CPUs go in idle. When they come out of idle
+ * ignore flag of events is set.
+ *
+ * Each group has a designated migrator CPU/group as long as a CPU/group is
+ * active in the group. This designated role is necessary to avoid that all
+ * active CPUs in a group try to migrate expired timers from other CPUs,
+ * which would result in massive lock bouncing.
+ *
+ * When a CPU is awake, it checks in it's own timer tick the group
+ * hierarchy up to the point where it is assigned the migrator role or if
+ * no CPU is active, it also checks the groups where no migrator is set
+ * (TMIGR_NONE).
+ *
+ * If it finds expired timers in one of the group queues it pulls them over
+ * from the idle CPU and runs the timer function. After that it updates the
+ * group and the parent groups if required.
+ *
+ * CPUs which go idle arm their CPU local timer hardware for the next local
+ * (pinned) timer event. If the next migratable timer expires after the
+ * next local timer or the CPU has no migratable timer pending then the
+ * CPU does not queue an event in the LVL0 group. If the next migratable
+ * timer expires before the next local timer then the CPU queues that timer
+ * in the LVL0 group. In both cases the CPU marks itself idle in the LVL0
+ * group.
+ *
+ * When CPU comes out of idle and when a group has at least a single active
+ * child, the ignore flag of the tmigr_event is set. This indicates, that
+ * the event is ignored even if it is still enqueued in the parent groups
+ * timer queue. It will be removed when touching the timer queue the next
+ * time. This spares locking in active path as the lock protects (after
+ * setup) only event information. For more information about locking,
+ * please read the section "Locking rules".
+ *
+ * If the CPU is the migrator of the group then it delegates that role to
+ * the next active CPU in the group or sets migrator to TMIGR_NONE when
+ * there is no active CPU in the group. This delegation needs to be
+ * propagated up the hierarchy so hand over from other leaves can happen at
+ * all hierarchy levels w/o doing a search.
+ *
+ * When the last CPU in the system goes idle, then it drops all migrator
+ * duties up to the top level of the hierarchy (LVL2 in the example). It
+ * then has to make sure, that it arms it's own local hardware timer for
+ * the earliest event in the system.
+ *
+ *
+ * Lifetime rules:
+ * ---------------
+ *
+ * The groups are built up at init time or when CPUs come online. They are
+ * not destroyed when a group becomes empty due to offlining. The group
+ * just won't participate in the hierarchy management anymore. Destroying
+ * groups would result in interesting race conditions which would just make
+ * the whole mechanism slow and complex.
+ *
+ *
+ * Locking rules:
+ * --------------
+ *
+ * For setting up new groups and handling events it's required to lock both
+ * child and parent group. The lock ordering is always bottom up. This also
+ * includes the per CPU locks in struct tmigr_cpu. For updating the migrator and
+ * active CPU/group information atomic_try_cmpxchg() is used instead and only
+ * the per CPU tmigr_cpu->lock is held.
+ *
+ * During the setup of groups tmigr_level_list is required. It is protected by
+ * @tmigr_mutex.
+ *
+ * When @timer_base->lock as well as tmigr related locks are required, the lock
+ * ordering is: first @timer_base->lock, afterwards tmigr related locks.
+ *
+ *
+ * Protection of the tmigr group state information:
+ * ------------------------------------------------
+ *
+ * The state information with the list of active children and migrator needs to
+ * be protected by a sequence counter. It prevents a race when updates in child
+ * groups are propagated in changed order. The state update is performed
+ * lockless and group wise. The following scenario describes what happens
+ * without updating the sequence counter:
+ *
+ * Therefore, let's take three groups and four CPUs (CPU2 and CPU3 as well
+ * as GRP0:1 will not change during the scenario):
+ *
+ *    LVL 1            [GRP1:0]
+ *                     migrator = GRP0:1
+ *                     active   = GRP0:0, GRP0:1

+ *    LVL 0  [GRP0:0]                  [GRP0:1]
+ *           migrator = CPU0           migrator = CPU2

+ *
+ *
+ * 1. CPU0 goes idle. As the update is performed group wise, in the first step
+ *    only GRP0:0 is updated. The update of GRP1:0 is pending as CPU0 has to
+ *    walk the hierarchy.
+ *
+ *    LVL 1            [GRP1:0]

+ *              /         \                /         \
+ *    CPUs     0           1              2           3
+ *         --> idle        idle           active      idle
+ *
+ * 2. While CPU0 goes idle and continues to update the state, CPU1 comes out of
+ *    idle. CPU1 updates GRP0:0. The update for GRP1:0 is pending as CPU1 also
+ *    has to walk the hierarchy. Both CPUs (CPU0 and CPU1) now walk the
+ *    hierarchy to perform the needed update from their point of view. The
+ *    currently visible state looks the following:
+ *
+ *    LVL 1            [GRP1:0]
+ *                     migrator = GRP0:1
+ *                     active   = GRP0:0, GRP0:1
+ *                   /                \
+ *    LVL 0  [GRP0:0]                  [GRP0:1]
+ *       --> migrator = CPU1           migrator = CPU2
+ *       --> active   = CPU1           active   = CPU2
+ *              /         \                /         \
+ *    CPUs     0           1              2           3
+ *             idle    --> active         active      idle
+ *
+ * 3. Here is the race condition: CPU1 managed to propagate its changes (from
+ *    step 2) through the hierarchy to GRP1:0 before CPU0 (step 1) did. The
+ *    active members of GRP1:0 remain unchanged after the update since it is
+ *    still valid from CPU1 current point of view:
+ *
+ *    LVL 1            [GRP1:0]
+ *                 --> migrator = GRP0:1
+ *                 --> active   = GRP0:0, GRP0:1
+ *                   /                \
+ *    LVL 0  [GRP0:0]                  [GRP0:1]
+ *           migrator = CPU1           migrator = CPU2
+ *           active   = CPU1           active   = CPU2
+ *              /         \                /         \
+ *    CPUs     0           1              2           3
+ *             idle        active         active      idle
+ *
+ * 4. Now CPU0 finally propagates its changes (from step 1) to GRP1:0.
+ *
+ *    LVL 1            [GRP1:0]
+ *                 --> migrator = GRP0:1
+ *                 --> active   = GRP0:1
+ *                   /                \
+ *    LVL 0  [GRP0:0]                  [GRP0:1]
+ *           migrator = CPU1           migrator = CPU2
+ *           active   = CPU1           active   = CPU2
+ *              /         \                /         \
+ *    CPUs     0           1              2           3
+ *             idle        active         active      idle
+ *
+ *
+ * The race of CPU0 vs. CPU1 led to an inconsistent state in GRP1:0. CPU1 is
+ * active and is correctly listed as active in GRP0:0. However GRP1:0 does not
+ * have GRP0:0 listed as active, which is wrong. The sequence counter has been
+ * added to avoid inconsistent states during updates. The state is updated
+ * atomically only if all members, including the sequence counter, match the
+ * expected value (compare-and-exchange).
+ *
+ * Looking back at the previous example with the addition of the sequence
+ * counter: The update as performed by CPU0 in step 4 will fail. CPU1 changed
+ * the sequence number during the update in step 3 so the expected old value (as
+ * seen by CPU0 before starting the walk) does not match.
+ *
+ * Prevent race between new event and last CPU going inactive
+ * ----------------------------------------------------------
+ *
+ * When the last CPU is going idle and there is a concurrent update of a new
+ * first global timer of an idle CPU, the group and child states have to be read
+ * while holding the lock in tmigr_update_events(). The following scenario shows
+ * what happens, when this is not done.
+ *
+ * 1. Only CPU2 is active:
+ *
+ *    LVL 1            [GRP1:0]
+ *                     migrator = GRP0:1
+ *                     active   = GRP0:1
+ *                     next_expiry = KTIME_MAX
+ *                   /                \
+ *    LVL 0  [GRP0:0]                  [GRP0:1]
+ *           migrator = TMIGR_NONE     migrator = CPU2
+ *           active   =                active   = CPU2
+ *           next_expiry = KTIME_MAX   next_expiry = KTIME_MAX
+ *              /         \                /         \
+ *    CPUs     0           1              2           3
+ *             idle        idle           active      idle
+ *
+ * 2. Now CPU 2 goes idle (and has no global timer, that has to be handled) and
+ *    propagates that to GRP0:1:
+ *
+ *    LVL 1            [GRP1:0]
+ *                     migrator = GRP0:1
+ *                     active   = GRP0:1
+ *                     next_expiry = KTIME_MAX
+ *                   /                \
+ *    LVL 0  [GRP0:0]                  [GRP0:1]
+ *           migrator = TMIGR_NONE --> migrator = TMIGR_NONE
+ *           active   =            --> active   =
+ *           next_expiry = KTIME_MAX   next_expiry = KTIME_MAX
+ *              /         \                /         \
+ *    CPUs     0           1              2           3
+ *             idle        idle       --> idle        idle
+ *
+ * 3. Now the idle state is propagated up to GRP1:0. As this is now the last
+ *    child going idle in top level group, the expiry of the next group event
+ *    has to be handed back to make sure no event is lost. As there is no event
+ *    enqueued, KTIME_MAX is handed back to CPU2.
+ *
+ *    LVL 1            [GRP1:0]
+ *                 --> migrator = TMIGR_NONE
+ *                 --> active   =
+ *                     next_expiry = KTIME_MAX
+ *                   /                \
+ *    LVL 0  [GRP0:0]                  [GRP0:1]
+ *           migrator = TMIGR_NONE     migrator = TMIGR_NONE
+ *           active   =                active   =
+ *           next_expiry = KTIME_MAX   next_expiry = KTIME_MAX
+ *              /         \                /         \
+ *    CPUs     0           1              2           3
+ *             idle        idle       --> idle        idle
+ *
+ * 4. CPU 0 has a new timer queued from idle and it expires at TIMER0. CPU0
+ *    propagates that to GRP0:0:
+ *
+ *    LVL 1            [GRP1:0]
+ *                     migrator = TMIGR_NONE
+ *                     active   =
+ *                     next_expiry = KTIME_MAX
+ *                   /                \
+ *    LVL 0  [GRP0:0]                  [GRP0:1]
+ *           migrator = TMIGR_NONE     migrator = TMIGR_NONE
+ *           active   =                active   =
+ *       --> next_expiry = TIMER0      next_expiry  = KTIME_MAX
+ *              /         \                /         \
+ *    CPUs     0           1              2           3
+ *             idle        idle           idle        idle
+ *
+ * 5. GRP0:0 is not active, so the new timer has to be propagated to
+ *    GRP1:0. Therefore the GRP1:0 state has to be read. When the stalled value
+ *    (from step 2) is read, the timer is enqueued into GRP1:0, but nothing is
+ *    handed back to CPU0, as it seems that there is still an active child in
+ *    top level group.
+ *
+ *    LVL 1            [GRP1:0]
+ *                     migrator = TMIGR_NONE
+ *                     active   =
+ *                 --> next_expiry = TIMER0
+ *                   /                \
+ *    LVL 0  [GRP0:0]                  [GRP0:1]
+ *           migrator = TMIGR_NONE     migrator = TMIGR_NONE
+ *           active   =                active   =
+ *           next_expiry = TIMER0      next_expiry  = KTIME_MAX
+ *              /         \                /         \
+ *    CPUs     0           1              2           3
+ *             idle        idle           idle        idle
+ *
+ * This is prevented by reading the state when holding the lock (when a new
+ * timer has to be propagated from idle path)::
+ *
+ *   CPU2 (tmigr_inactive_up())          CPU0 (tmigr_new_timer_up())
+ *   --------------------------          ---------------------------
+ *   // step 3:
+ *   cmpxchg(&GRP1:0->state);
+ *   tmigr_update_events() {
+ *       spin_lock(&GRP1:0->lock);
+ *       // ... update events ...
+ *       // hand back first expiry when GRP1:0 is idle
+ *       spin_unlock(&GRP1:0->lock);
+ *       // ^^^ release state modification
+ *   }
+ *                                       tmigr_update_events() {
+ *                                           spin_lock(&GRP1:0->lock)
+ *                                           // ^^^ acquire state modification
+ *                                           group_state = atomic_read(&GRP1:0->state)
+ *                                           // .... update events ...
+ *                                           // hand back first expiry when GRP1:0 is idle
+ *                                           spin_unlock(&GRP1:0->lock) <3>
+ *                                           // ^^^ makes state visible for other
+ *                                           // callers of tmigr_new_timer_up()
+ *                                       }
+ *
+ * When CPU0 grabs the lock directly after cmpxchg, the first timer is reported
+ * back to CPU0 and also later on to CPU2. So no timer is missed. A concurrent
+ * update of the group state from active path is no problem, as the upcoming CPU
+ * will take care of the group events.
+ *
+ * Required event and timerqueue update after a remote expiry:
+ * -----------------------------------------------------------
+ *
+ * After expiring timers of a remote CPU, a walk through the hierarchy and
+ * update of events and timerqueues is required. It is obviously needed if there
+ * is a 'new' global timer but also if there is no new global timer but the
+ * remote CPU is still idle.
+ *
+ * 1. CPU0 and CPU1 are idle and have both a global timer expiring at the same
+ *    time. So both have an event enqueued in the timerqueue of GRP0:0. CPU3 is
+ *    also idle and has no global timer pending. CPU2 is the only active CPU and
+ *    thus also the migrator:
+ *
+ *    LVL 1            [GRP1:0]
+ *                     migrator = GRP0:1
+ *                     active   = GRP0:1
+ *                 --> timerqueue = evt-GRP0:0
+ *                   /                \
+ *    LVL 0  [GRP0:0]                  [GRP0:1]
+ *           migrator = TMIGR_NONE     migrator = CPU2
+ *           active   =                active   = CPU2
+ *           groupevt.ignore = false   groupevt.ignore = true
+ *           groupevt.cpu = CPU0       groupevt.cpu =
+ *           timerqueue = evt-CPU0,    timerqueue =
+ *                        evt-CPU1
+ *              /         \                /         \
+ *    CPUs     0           1              2           3
+ *             idle        idle           active      idle
+ *
+ * 2. CPU2 starts to expire remote timers. It starts with LVL0 group
+ *    GRP0:1. There is no event queued in the timerqueue, so CPU2 continues with
+ *    the parent of GRP0:1: GRP1:0. In GRP1:0 it dequeues the first event. It
+ *    looks at tmigr_event::cpu struct member and expires the pending timer(s)
+ *    of CPU0.
+ *
+ *    LVL 1            [GRP1:0]
+ *                     migrator = GRP0:1
+ *                     active   = GRP0:1
+ *                 --> timerqueue =
+ *                   /                \
+ *    LVL 0  [GRP0:0]                  [GRP0:1]
+ *           migrator = TMIGR_NONE     migrator = CPU2
+ *           active   =                active   = CPU2
+ *           groupevt.ignore = false   groupevt.ignore = true
+ *       --> groupevt.cpu = CPU0       groupevt.cpu =
+ *           timerqueue = evt-CPU0,    timerqueue =
+ *                        evt-CPU1
+ *              /         \                /         \
+ *    CPUs     0           1              2           3
+ *             idle        idle           active      idle
+ *
+ * 3. Some work has to be done after expiring the timers of CPU0. If we stop
+ *    here, then CPU1's pending global timer(s) will not expire in time and the
+ *    timerqueue of GRP0:0 has still an event for CPU0 enqueued which has just
+ *    been processed. So it is required to walk the hierarchy from CPU0's point
+ *    of view and update it accordingly. CPU0's event will be removed from the
+ *    timerqueue because it has no pending timer. If CPU0 would have a timer
+ *    pending then it has to expire after CPU1's first timer because all timers
+ *    from this period were just expired. Either way CPU1's event will be first
+ *    in GRP0:0's timerqueue and therefore set in the CPU field of the group
+ *    event which is then enqueued in GRP1:0's timerqueue as GRP0:0 is still not
+ *    active:
+ *
+ *    LVL 1            [GRP1:0]
+ *                     migrator = GRP0:1
+ *                     active   = GRP0:1
+ *                 --> timerqueue = evt-GRP0:0
+ *                   /                \
+ *    LVL 0  [GRP0:0]                  [GRP0:1]
+ *           migrator = TMIGR_NONE     migrator = CPU2
+ *           active   =                active   = CPU2
+ *           groupevt.ignore = false   groupevt.ignore = true
+ *       --> groupevt.cpu = CPU1       groupevt.cpu =
+ *       --> timerqueue = evt-CPU1     timerqueue =
+ *              /         \                /         \
+ *    CPUs     0           1              2           3
+ *             idle        idle           active      idle
+ *
+ * Now CPU2 (migrator) will continue step 2 at GRP1:0 and will expire the
+ * timer(s) of CPU1.
+ *
+ * The hierarchy walk in step 3 can be skipped if the migrator notices that a
+ * CPU of GRP0:0 is active again. The CPU will mark GRP0:0 active and take care
+ * of the group as migrator and any needed updates within the hierarchy.
