cpumask: change cpumask_scnprintf, cpumask_parse_user, cpulist_parse, and cpulist_scnprintf to take pointers.

Impact: change calling convention of existing cpumask APIs

Most cpumask functions started with cpus_: these have been replaced by
cpumask_ ones which take struct cpumask pointers as expected.

These four functions don't have good replacement names; fortunately
they're rarely used, so we just change them over.

Impact: introduce new APIs

We want to deprecate cpumasks on the stack, as we are headed for
gynormous numbers of CPUs.  Eventually, we want to head towards an
undefined 'struct cpumask' so they can never be declared on stack.

1) New cpumask functions which take pointers instead of copies.
   (cpus_* -> cpumask_*)

2) Several new helpers to reduce requirements for temporary cpumasks
   (cpumask_first_and, cpumask_next_and, cpumask_any_and)

3) Helpers for declaring cpumasks on or offstack for large NR_CPUS
   (cpumask_var_t, alloc_cpumask_var and free_cpumask_var)

4) 'struct cpumask' for explicitness and to mark new-style code.

5) Make iterator functions stop at nr_cpu_ids (a runtime constant),
   not NR_CPUS for time efficiency and for smaller dynamic allocations
   in future.

6) cpumask_copy() so we can allocate less than a full cpumask eventually
   (for alloc_cpumask_var), and so we can eliminate the 'struct cpumask'
   definition eventually.

7) work_on_cpu() helper for doing task on a CPU, rather than saving old
   cpumask for current thread and manipulating it.

8) smp_call_function_many() which is smp_call_function_mask() except
   taking a cpumask pointer.

Note that this patch simply introduces the new functions and leaves
the obsolescent ones in place.  This is to simplify the transition
patches.

Clean up and optimize cpumask_of_cpu(), by sharing all the zero words.

Instead of stupidly generating all possible i=0...NR_CPUS 2^i patterns
creating a huge array of constant bitmasks, realize that the zero words
can be shared.

In other words, on a 64-bit architecture, we only ever need 64 of these
arrays - with a different bit set in one single world (with enough zero
words around it so that we can create any bitmask by just offsetting in
that big array). And then we just put enough zeroes around it that we
can point every single cpumask to be one of those things.

So when we have 4k CPU's, instead of having 4k arrays (of 4k bits each,
with one bit set in each array - 2MB memory total), we have exactly 64
arrays instead, each 8k bits in size (64kB total).

And then we just point cpumask(n) to the right position (which we can
calculate dynamically). Once we have the right arrays, getting
"cpumask(n)" ends up being:

  static inline const cpumask_t *get_cpu_mask(unsigned int cpu)
  {
          const unsigned long *p = cpu_bit_bitmap[1 + cpu % BITS_PER_LONG];
          p -= cpu / BITS_PER_LONG;
          return (const cpumask_t *)p;
  }

This brings other advantages and simplifications as well:

 - we are not wasting memory that is just filled with a single bit in
   various different places

 - we don't need all those games to re-create the arrays in some dense
   format, because they're already going to be dense enough.

if we compile a kernel for up to 4k CPU's, "wasting" that 64kB of memory
is a non-issue (especially since by doing this "overlapping" trick we
probably get better cache behaviour anyway).

If an arch doesn't define cpumask_of_cpu_map, create a generic
statically-initialized one for them.  This allows removal of the buggy
cpumask_of_cpu() macro (&cpumask_of_cpu() gives address of
out-of-scope var).

An arch with NR_CPUS of 4096 probably wants to allocate this itself
based on the actual number of CPUs, since otherwise they're using 2MB
of rodata (1024 cpus means 128k).  That's what
CONFIG_HAVE_CPUMASK_OF_CPU_MAP is for (only x86/64 does so at the
moment).

In future as we support more CPUs, we'll need to resort to a
get_cpu_map()/put_cpu_map() allocation scheme.

  * This patch replaces the dangerous lvalue version of cpumask_of_cpu
    with new cpumask_of_cpu_ptr macros.  These are patterned after the
    node_to_cpumask_ptr macros.

    In general terms, if there is a cpumask_of_cpu_map[] then a pointer to
    the cpumask_of_cpu_map[cpu] entry is used.  The cpumask_of_cpu_map
    is provided when there is a large NR_CPUS count, reducing
    greatly the amount of code generated and stack space used for
    cpumask_of_cpu().  The pointer to the cpumask_t value is needed for
    calling set_cpus_allowed_ptr() to reduce the amount of stack space
    needed to pass the cpumask_t value.

    If there isn't a cpumask_of_cpu_map[], then a temporary variable is
    declared and filled in with value from cpumask_of_cpu(cpu) as well as
    a pointer variable pointing to this temporary variable.  Afterwards,
    the pointer is used to reference the cpumask value.  The compiler
    will optimize out the extra dereference through the pointer as well
    as the stack space used for the pointer, resulting in identical code.

    A good example of the orthogonal usages is in net/sunrpc/svc.c:

	case SVC_POOL_PERCPU:
	{
		unsigned int cpu = m->pool_to[pidx];
		cpumask_of_cpu_ptr(cpumask, cpu);

		*oldmask = current->cpus_allowed;
		set_cpus_allowed_ptr(current, cpumask);
		return 1;
	}
	case SVC_POOL_PERNODE:
	{
		unsigned int node = m->pool_to[pidx];
		node_to_cpumask_ptr(nodecpumask, node);

		*oldmask = current->cpus_allowed;
		set_cpus_allowed_ptr(current, nodecpumask);
		return 1;
	}

This is based on Linus' idea of creating cpu_active_map that prevents
scheduler load balancer from migrating tasks to the cpu that is going
down.

It allows us to simplify domain management code and avoid unecessary
domain rebuilds during cpu hotplug event handling.

Please ignore the cpusets part for now. It needs some more work in order
to avoid crazy lock nesting. Although I did simplfy and unify domain
reinitialization logic. We now simply call partition_sched_domains() in
all the cases. This means that we're using exact same code paths as in
cpusets case and hence the test below cover cpusets too.
Cpuset changes to make rebuild_sched_domains() callable from various
contexts are in the separate patch (right next after this one).

This not only boots but also easily handles
	while true; do make clean; make -j 8; done
and
	while true; do on-off-cpu 1; done
at the same time.
(on-off-cpu 1 simple does echo 0/1 > /sys/.../cpu1/online thing).

Suprisingly the box (dual-core Core2) is quite usable. In fact I'm typing
this on right now in gnome-terminal and things are moving just fine.

Also this is running with most of the debug features enabled (lockdep,
mutex, etc) no BUG_ONs or lockdep complaints so far.

I believe I addressed all of the Dmitry's comments for original Linus'
version. I changed both fair and rt balancer to mask out non-active cpus.
And replaced cpu_is_offline() with !cpu_active() in the main scheduler
code where it made sense (to me).

The for_each_cpu_mask loop is used quite often in the kernel. It
makes use of two functions: first_cpu and next_cpu. This patch
changes for_each_cpu_mask to use only the latter. Because next_cpu
finds the next eligible cpu _after_ the given one, the iteration
variable has to be initialized to -1 and next_cpu has to be
called with this value before the first iteration. An x86_64
defconfig kernel (from sched/latest) is about 2500 bytes smaller

  * Increase performance for systems with large count NR_CPUS by limiting

    int first_cpu_nr(mask)	     Number lowest set bit, or nr_cpu_ids
    int next_cpu_nr(cpu, mask)	     Next cpu past 'cpu', or nr_cpu_ids
    for_each_cpu_mask_nr(cpu, mask)  for-loop cpu over mask using nr_cpu_ids

  * Modify following to use performance variants:

    #define num_online_cpus()	cpus_weight_nr(cpu_online_map)
    #define num_possible_cpus()	cpus_weight_nr(cpu_possible_map)
    #define num_present_cpus()	cpus_weight_nr(cpu_present_map)

    #define for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) for_each_cpu_mask_nr((cpu), ...)
    #define for_each_online_cpu(cpu)   for_each_cpu_mask_nr((cpu), ...)
    #define for_each_present_cpu(cpu)  for_each_cpu_mask_nr((cpu), ...)

  * Comment added to include/linux/cpumask.h:

    Note: The alternate operations with the suffix "_nr" are used
	  to limit the range of the loop to nr_cpu_ids instead of
	  NR_CPUS when NR_CPUS > 64 for performance reasons.
	  If NR_CPUS is <= 64 then most assembler bitmask
	  operators execute faster with a constant range, so
	  the operator will continue to use NR_CPUS.

	  Another consideration is that nr_cpu_ids is initialized
	  to NR_CPUS and isn't lowered until the possible cpus are
	  discovered (including any disabled cpus).  So early uses
	  will span the entire range of NR_CPUS.

    (The net effect is that for systems with 64 or less CPU's there are no
     functional changes.)

The following adds two more bitmap operators, bitmap_onto() and bitmap_fold(),
with the usual cpumask and nodemask wrappers.

The bitmap_onto() operator computes one bitmap relative to another.  If the
n-th bit in the origin mask is set, then the m-th bit of the destination mask
will be set, where m is the position of the n-th set bit in the relative mask.

The bitmap_fold() operator folds a bitmap into a second that has bit m set iff
the input bitmap has some bit n set, where m == n mod sz, for the specified sz
value.

There are two substantive changes between this patch and its
predecessor bitmap_relative:
 1) Renamed bitmap_relative() to be bitmap_onto().
 2) Added bitmap_fold().

The essential motivation for bitmap_onto() is to provide a mechanism for
converting a cpuset-relative CPU or Node mask to an absolute mask.  Cpuset
relative masks are written as if the current task were in a cpuset whose CPUs
or Nodes were just the consecutive ones numbered 0..N-1, for some N.  The
bitmap_onto() operator is provided in anticipation of adding support for the
first such cpuset relative mask, by the mbind() and set_mempolicy() system
calls, using a planned flag of MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES.  These bitmap operators
(and their nodemask wrappers, in particular) will be used in code that
converts the user specified cpuset relative memory policy to a specific system
node numbered policy, given the current mems_allowed of the tasks cpuset.

Such cpuset relative mempolicies will address two deficiencies
of the existing interface between cpusets and mempolicies:
 1) A task cannot at present reliably establish a cpuset
    relative mempolicy because there is an essential race
    condition, in that the tasks cpuset may be changed in
    between the time the task can query its cpuset placement,
    and the time the task can issue the applicable mbind or
    set_memplicy system call.
 2) A task cannot at present establish what cpuset relative
    mempolicy it would like to have, if it is in a smaller
    cpuset than it might have mempolicy preferences for,
    because the existing interface only allows specifying
    mempolicies for nodes currently allowed by the cpuset.

Cpuset relative mempolicies are useful for tasks that don't distinguish
particularly between one CPU or Node and another, but only between how many of
each are allowed, and the proper placement of threads and memory pages on the
various CPUs and Nodes available.

The motivation for the added bitmap_fold() can be seen in the following
example.

Let's say an application has specified some mempolicies that presume 16 memory
nodes, including say a mempolicy that specified MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES (cpuset
relative) nodes 12-15.  Then lets say that application is crammed into a
cpuset that only has 8 memory nodes, 0-7.  If one just uses bitmap_onto(),
this mempolicy, mapped to that cpuset, would ignore the requested relative
nodes above 7, leaving it empty of nodes.  That's not good; better to fold the
higher nodes down, so that some nodes are included in the resulting mapped
mempolicy.  In this case, the mempolicy nodes 12-15 are taken modulo 8 (the
weight of the mems_allowed of the confining cpuset), resulting in a mempolicy
specifying nodes 4-7.

then shortly afterwards the cpufreq code crashed on an assert:

the bug was caused by maxcpus=1 bootup, which brought up the
secondary core as !cpu_online() but !cpu_is_offline() either,
which on on !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is always 0 (include/linux/cpu.h):

  /* CPUs don't go offline once they're online w/o CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU */
  static inline int cpu_is_offline(int cpu) { return 0; }

but the cpufreq code uses cpu_online() and cpu_is_offline() in
a mixed way - the low-level drivers use cpu_online(), while
the cpufreq core uses cpu_is_offline(). This opened up the
possibility to add the non-initialized sysdev device of the
secondary core:

 cpufreq-core: trying to register driver powernow-k8
 cpufreq-core: adding CPU 0
 powernow-k8: BIOS error - no PSB or ACPI _PSS objects
 cpufreq-core: initialization failed
 cpufreq-core: adding CPU 1
 cpufreq-core: initialization failed

which then blew up. The fix is to make cpu_is_offline() always
the negation of cpu_online(). With that fix applied the kernel
boots up fine without crashing:

 Calling initcall 0xffffffff80cc0510: powernowk8_init+0x0/0x94()
 powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ processors (1 cpu cores) (version 2.20.00)

 Calling initcall 0xffffffff80cc328f: init_lapic_nmi_sysfs+0x0/0x39()

We could fix this by making CPU enumeration aware of max_cpus, but that
would be more fragile IMO, and the cpu_online(cpu) != cpu_is_offline(cpu)
possibility was quite confusing and a continuous source of bugs too.

Most distributions have kernels with CPU hotplug enabled, so this bug
remained hidden for a long time.

Bug forensics:

The broken cpu_is_offline() API variant was introduced via:

 commit a59d2e4e6977e7b94e003c96a41f07e96cddc340
 Author: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
 Date:   Mon Mar 8 06:06:03 2004 -0800

     [PATCH] minor cleanups for hotplug CPUs

( this predates linux-2.6.git, this commit is available from Thomas's
  historic git tree. )

Then 1.5 years later the cpufreq code made use of it:

 commit c32b6b8e
 Author: Ashok Raj <ashok.raj@intel.com>
 Date:   Sun Oct 30 14:59:54 2005 -0800

     [PATCH] create and destroy cpufreq sysfs entries based on cpu notifiers

 +       if (cpu_is_offline(cpu))
 +               return 0;

which is a correct use of the subtly broken new API. v2.6.15 then

We frequently need the maximum number of possible processors in order to
allocate arrays for all processors.  So far this was done using
highest_possible_processor_id().  However, we do need the number of
processors not the highest id.  Moreover the number was so far dynamically
calculated on each invokation.  The number of possible processors does not
change when the system is running.  We can therefore calculate that number
once.

lib/bitmap.c:bitmap_parse() is a library function that received as input a
user buffer.  This seemed to have originated from the way the write_proc
function of the /proc filesystem operates.

This has been reworked to not use kmalloc and eliminates a lot of
get_user() overhead by performing one access_ok before using __get_user().

We need to test if we are in kernel or user space (is_user) and access the
buffer differently.  We cannot use __get_user() to access kernel addresses
in all cases, for example in architectures with separate address space for
kernel and user.

This function will be useful for other uses as well; for example, taking
input for /sysfs instead of /proc, so it was changed to accept kernel
buffers.  We have this use for the Linux UWB project, as part as the
upcoming bandwidth allocator code.

Only a few routines used this function and they were changed too.

for_each_cpu() is a for-loop over cpu_possible_map.  for_each_online_cpu is
for-loop cpu over cpu_online_map.  .....for_each_cpu() is not sufficiently
explicit and can lead to mistakes.

This patch adds for_each_possible_cpu() in preparation for the removal of
for_each_cpu().

This function seems inefficient.  Can't we simply AND the two masks, then use
find_first_bit()?

Initialising cpu_possible_map to all-ones with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU means that

a) All for_each_cpu() loops will iterate across all NR_CPUS CPUs, rather
   than over possible ones.  That can be quite expensive.

b) Soon we'll be allocating per-cpu areas only for possible CPUs.  So with
   CPU_MASK_ALL, we'll be wasting memory.

I also switched voyager over to not use CPU_MASK_ALL in the non-CPU-hotplug
case.  Should be OK..

I note that parisc is also using CPU_MASK_ALL.  Suggest that it stop doing
that.

In the forthcoming task migration support, a key calculation will be
mapping cpu and node numbers from the old set to the new set while
preserving cpuset-relative offset.

For example, if a task and its pages on nodes 8-11 are being migrated to
nodes 24-27, then pages on node 9 (the 2nd node in the old set) should be
moved to node 25 (the 2nd node in the new set.)

As with other bitmap operations, the proper way to code this is to provide
the underlying calculation in lib/bitmap.c, and then to provide the usual
cpumask and nodemask wrappers.

This patch provides that.  These operations are termed 'remap' operations.
Both remapping a single bit and a set of bits is supported.

	... otherwise, things like alpha and sparc64 break and break
badly.  They define cpu_possible_map to something else in smp.h
*AFTER* having included cpumask.h.

	If that puppy is a macro, expansion will happen at the actual
caller, when we'd already seen #define cpu_possible_map ... and we will
get the right thing used.

	As an inline helper it will be tokenized before we get to that
define and that's it; no matter what we define later, it won't affect
anything.  We get modules with dependency on cpu_possible_map instead
of the right symbol (phys_cpu_present_map in case of sparc64), or outright
link errors if they are built-in.

Original patch by Harald Welte, with feedback from Herbert Xu
and testing by Sébastien Bernard.

EBTABLES, ARP tables, and IP/IP6 tables all assume that cpus
are numbered linearly.  That is not necessarily true.

This patch fixes that up by calculating the largest possible
cpu number, and allocating enough per-cpu structure space given
that.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
