The function names made sense up to the point where the watchdog
(re)configuration was unified to use softlockup_reconfigure_threads() for
all configuration purposes. But that includes scenarios which solely
configure the nmi watchdog.
Rename softlockup_reconfigure_threads() and softlockup_init_threads() so
the function names match the functionality.

The rework of the core hotplug code triggers the WARN_ON in start_wd_cpu()
on powerpc because it is called multiple times for the boot CPU.
The first call is via:
start_wd_on_cpu+0x80/0x2f0
watchdog_nmi_reconfigure+0x124/0x170
softlockup_reconfigure_threads+0x110/0x130
lockup_detector_init+0xbc/0xe0
kernel_init_freeable+0x18c/0x37c
kernel_init+0x2c/0x160
ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0xbc
And then again via the CPU hotplug registration:
start_wd_on_cpu+0x80/0x2f0
cpuhp_invoke_callback+0x194/0x620
cpuhp_thread_fun+0x7c/0x1b0
smpboot_thread_fn+0x290/0x2a0
kthread+0x168/0x1b0
ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0xbc
This can be avoided by setting up the cpu hotplug state with nocalls and
move the initialization to the watchdog_nmi_probe() function. That
initializes the hotplug callbacks without invoking the callback and the
following core initialization function then configures the watchdog for the
online CPUs (in this case CPU0) via softlockup_reconfigure_threads().

for_each_cpu() unintuitively reports CPU0 as set independend of the actual
cpumask content on UP kernels. That leads to a NULL pointer dereference
when the cleanup function is invoked and there is no event to clean up.

The lockup detector reconfiguration tears down all watchdog threads when
the watchdog is disabled and sets them up again when its enabled.
That's a pointless exercise. The watchdog threads are not consuming an
insane amount of resources, so it's enough to set them up at init time and
keep them in parked position when the watchdog is disabled and unpark them
when it is reenabled. The smpboot thread infrastructure takes care of
keeping the force parked threads in place even across cpu hotplug.
Aside of that the code implements the park/unpark facility of smp hotplug
threads on its own, which is even more pointless. We have functionality in
the smpboot thread code to do so.
Use the new thread management functions and get rid of the unholy mess.

Another horrible mechanism are the open coded park/unpark loops which are
used for reconfiguration of the watchdog. The smpboot infrastructure allows
exactly the same via smpboot_update_cpumask_thread_percpu(), which is cpu
hotplug safe. Using that instead of the open coded loops allows to get rid
of the hotplug locking mess in the watchdog code.
Implement a clean infrastructure which allows to replace the open coded
nonsense.

Commit:
b94f51183b ("kernel/watchdog: prevent false hardlockup on overloaded system")
tries to fix the following issue:
proc_write()
set_sample_period() <--- New sample period becoms visible
<----- Broken starts
proc_watchdog_update()
watchdog_enable_all_cpus() watchdog_hrtimer_fn()
update_watchdog_all_cpus() restart_timer(sample_period)
watchdog_park_threads()
thread->park()
disable_nmi()
<----- Broken ends
The reason why this is broken is that the update of the watchdog threshold
becomes immediately effective and visible for the hrtimer function which
uses that value to rearm the timer. But the NMI/perf side still uses the
old value up to the point where it is disabled. If the rate has been
lowered then the NMI can run fast enough to 'detect' a hard lockup because
the timer has not fired due to the longer period.
The patch 'fixed' this by adding a variable:
proc_write()
set_sample_period()
<----- Broken starts
proc_watchdog_update()
watchdog_enable_all_cpus() watchdog_hrtimer_fn()
update_watchdog_all_cpus() restart_timer(sample_period)
watchdog_park_threads()
park_in_progress = 1
<----- Broken ends
nmi_watchdog()
if (park_in_progress)
return;
The only effect of this variable was to make the window where the breakage
can hit small enough that it was not longer observable in testing. From a
correctness point of view it is a pointless bandaid which merily papers
over the root cause: the unsychronized update of the variable.
Looking deeper into the related code pathes unearthed similar problems in
the watchdog_start()/stop() functions.
watchdog_start()
perf_nmi_event_start()
hrtimer_start()
watchdog_stop()
hrtimer_cancel()
perf_nmi_event_stop()
In both cases the call order is wrong because if the tasks gets preempted
or the VM gets scheduled out long enough after the first call, then there is
a chance that the next NMI will see a stale hrtimer interrupt count and
trigger a false positive hard lockup splat.
Get rid of park_in_progress so the code can be gradually deobfuscated and
pruned from several layers of duct tape papering over the root cause,
which has been either ignored or not understood at all.
Once this is removed the underlying problem will be fixed by rewriting the
proc interface to do a proper synchronized update.
Address the start/stop() ordering problem as well by reverting the call
order, so this part is at least correct now.

The following deadlock is possible in the watchdog hotplug code:
cpus_write_lock()
...
takedown_cpu()
smpboot_park_threads()
smpboot_park_thread()
kthread_park()
->park() := watchdog_disable()
watchdog_nmi_disable()
perf_event_release_kernel();
put_event()
_free_event()
->destroy() := hw_perf_event_destroy()
x86_release_hardware()
release_ds_buffers()
get_online_cpus()
when a per cpu watchdog perf event is destroyed which drops the last
reference to the PMU hardware. The cleanup code there invokes
get_online_cpus() which instantly deadlocks because the hotplug percpu
rwsem is write locked.
To solve this add a deferring mechanism:
cpus_write_lock()
kthread_park()
watchdog_nmi_disable(deferred)
perf_event_disable(event);
move_event_to_deferred(event);
....
cpus_write_unlock()
cleaup_deferred_events()
perf_event_release_kernel()
This is still properly serialized against concurrent hotplug via the
cpu_add_remove_lock, which is held by the task which initiated the hotplug
event.
This is also used to handle event destruction when the watchdog threads are
parked via other mechanisms than CPU hotplug.

The self disabling feature is broken vs. CPU hotplug locking:
CPU 0 CPU 1
cpus_write_lock();
cpu_up(1)
wait_for_completion()
....
unpark_watchdog()
->unpark()
perf_event_create() <- fails
watchdog_enable &= ~NMI_WATCHDOG;
....
cpus_write_unlock();
CPU 2
cpus_write_lock()
cpu_down(2)
wait_for_completion()
wakeup(watchdog);
watchdog()
if (!(watchdog_enable & NMI_WATCHDOG))
watchdog_nmi_disable()
perf_event_disable()
....
cpus_read_lock();
stop_smpboot_threads()
park_watchdog();
wait_for_completion(watchdog->parked);
Result: End of hotplug and instantaneous full lockup of the machine.
There is a similar problem with disabling the watchdog via the user space
interface as the sysctl function fiddles with watchdog_enable directly.
It's very debatable whether this is required at all. If the watchdog works
nicely on N CPUs and it fails to enable on the N + 1 CPU either during
hotplug or because the user space interface disabled it via sysctl cpumask
and then some perf user grabbed the counter which is then unavailable for
the watchdog when the sysctl cpumask gets changed back.
There is no real justification for this.
One of the reasons WHY this is done is the utter stupidity of the init code
of the perf NMI watchdog. Instead of checking upfront at boot whether PERF
is available and functional at all, it just does this check at run time
over and over when user space fiddles with the sysctl. That's broken beyond
repair along with the idiotic error code dependent warn level printks and
the even more silly printk rate limiting.
If the init code checks whether perf works at boot time, then this mess can
be more or less avoided completely. Perf does not come magically into life
at runtime. Brain usage while coding is overrated.
Remove the cruft and add a temporary safe guard which gets removed later.

People have serious problems with the alphabet and sorting, and poor
Jérôme Glisse and Radim Krčmář get their names mangled by locale issues,
turning them into some mangled mess (probably others do too, but those
two stood out when sorting things again).
And we now have two copies of the same 'AS3645A LED FLASH CONTROLLER
