genirq: Introduce common irq_force_complete_move() implementation

CONFIG_GENERIC_PENDING_IRQ requires an architecture specific implementation
of irq_force_complete_move() for CPU hotplug. At the moment, only x86
implements this unconditionally, but for RISC-V irq_force_complete_move()
is only needed when the RISC-V IMSIC driver is in use and not needed
otherwise.

To allow runtime configuration of this mechanism, introduce a common
irq_force_complete_move() implementation in the interrupt core code, which
only invokes the completion function, when a interrupt chip in the
hierarchy implements it.

Switch X86 over to the new mechanism. No functional change intended.

Commit 1b57d91b969c ("irqchip/gic-v2, v3: Prevent SW resends entirely")
sett the flag which enforces interrupt handling in interrupt context and
prevents software base resends for ARM GIC v2/v3.

But it missed that the helper function which checks the flag was hidden
behind CONFIG_GENERIC_PENDING_IRQ, which is not set by ARM[64].

Make the helper unconditionally available so that the enforcement actually
works.

genirq: Avoid summation loops for /proc/interrupts

show_interrupts() unconditionally accumulates the per CPU interrupt
statistics to determine whether an interrupt was ever raised.

This can be avoided for all interrupts which are not strictly per CPU
and not of type NMI because those interrupts provide already an
accumulated counter. The required logic is already implemented in
kstat_irqs().

Split the inner access logic out of kstat_irqs() and use it for
kstat_irqs() and show_interrupts() to avoid the accumulation loop
when possible.

genirq: Prevent nested thread vs synchronize_hardirq() deadlock

There is a possibility of deadlock if synchronize_hardirq() is called
when the nested threaded interrupt is active. The following scenario
was observed on a uniprocessor PREEMPT_NONE system:

Thread 1 Thread 2

handle_nested_thread()
Set INPROGRESS
Call ->thread_fn()
thread_fn goes to sleep

free_irq()
__synchronize_hardirq()
Busy-loop forever waiting for INPROGRESS
to be cleared

The INPROGRESS flag is only supposed to be used for hard interrupt
handlers. Remove the incorrect usage in the nested threaded interrupt
case and instead re-use the threads_active / wait_for_threads mechanism
to wait for nested threaded interrupts to complete.

genirq: Use a maple tree for interrupt descriptor management

The current implementation uses a static bitmap for interrupt descriptor
allocation and a radix tree to pointer store the pointer for lookup.

However, the size of the bitmap is constrained by the build time macro
MAX_SPARSE_IRQS, which may not be sufficient to support high-end servers,
particularly those with GICv4.1 hardware, which require a large interrupt
space to cover LPIs and vSGIs.

Replace the bitmap and the radix tree with a maple tree, which not only
stores pointers for lookup, but also provides a mechanism to find free
ranges. That removes the build time hardcoded upper limit.

genirq: Use hlist for managing resend handlers

The current implementation utilizes a bitmap for managing interrupt resend
handlers, which is allocated based on the SPARSE_IRQ/NR_IRQS macros.
However, this method may not efficiently utilize memory during runtime,
particularly when IRQ_BITMAP_BITS is large.

Address this issue by using an hlist to manage interrupt resend handlers
instead of relying on a static bitmap memory allocation. Additionally, a
new function, clear_irq_resend(), is introduced and called from
irq_shutdown to ensure a graceful teardown of the interrupt.

The reason is that the interrupt descriptor sysfs handling does not roll
back on a failing kobject_add() during allocation. If the descriptor is
freed later on, kobject_del() is invoked with a not added kobject resulting
in the above warnings.

A proper rollback in case of a kobject_add() failure would be the straight
forward solution. But this is not possible due to the way how interrupt
descriptor sysfs handling works.

Interrupt descriptors are allocated before sysfs becomes available. So the
sysfs files for the early allocated descriptors are added later in the boot
process. At this point there can be nothing useful done about a failing
kobject_add(). For consistency the interrupt descriptor allocation always
treats kobject_add() failures as non-critical and just emits a warning.

To solve this problem, keep track in the interrupt descriptor whether
kobject_add() was successful or not and make the invocation of
kobject_del() conditional on that.

genirq: Synchronize interrupt thread startup

A kernel hang can be observed when running setserial in a loop on a kernel
with force threaded interrupts. The sequence of events is:

setserial
open("/dev/ttyXXX")
request_irq()
do_stuff()
-> serial interrupt
-> wake(irq_thread)
desc->threads_active++;
close()
free_irq()
kthread_stop(irq_thread)
synchronize_irq() <- hangs because desc->threads_active != 0

The thread is created in request_irq() and woken up, but does not get on a
CPU to reach the actual thread function, which would handle the pending
wake-up. kthread_stop() sets the should stop condition which makes the
thread immediately exit, which in turn leaves the stale threads_active
count around.

This problem was introduced with commit 519cc8652b3a, which addressed a
interrupt sharing issue in the PCIe code.

Before that commit free_irq() invoked synchronize_irq(), which waits for
the hard interrupt handler and also for associated threads to complete.

To address the PCIe issue synchronize_irq() was replaced with
__synchronize_hardirq(), which only waits for the hard interrupt handler to
complete, but not for threaded handlers.

This was done under the assumption, that the interrupt thread already
reached the thread function and waits for a wake-up, which is guaranteed to
be handled before acting on the stop condition. The problematic case, that
the thread would not reach the thread function, was obviously overlooked.

Make sure that the interrupt thread is really started and reaches
thread_fn() before returning from __setup_irq().

This utilizes the existing wait queue in the interrupt descriptor. The
wait queue is unused for non-shared interrupts. For shared interrupts the
usage might cause a spurious wake-up of a waiter in synchronize_irq() or the
completion of a threaded handler might cause a spurious wake-up of the
waiter for the ready flag. Both are harmless and have no functional impact.

genirq/chip: Use the first chip in irq_chip_compose_msi_msg()

The documentation of irq_chip_compose_msi_msg() claims that with
hierarchical irq domains the first chip in the hierarchy which has an
irq_compose_msi_msg() callback is chosen. But the code just keeps
iterating after it finds a chip with a compose callback.

The x86 HPET MSI implementation relies on that behaviour, but that does not
make it more correct.

The message should always be composed at the domain which manages the
underlying resource (e.g. APIC or remap table) because that domain knows
about the required layout of the message.

On X86 the following hierarchies exist:

1) vector -------- PCI/MSI
2) vector -- IR -- PCI/MSI

The vector domain has a different message format than the IR (remapping)
domain. So obviously the PCI/MSI domain can't compose the message without
having knowledge about the parent domain, which is exactly the opposite of
what hierarchical domains want to achieve.

X86 actually has two different PCI/MSI chips where #1 has a compose
callback and #2 does not. #2 delegates the composition to the remap domain
where it belongs, but #1 does it at the PCI/MSI level.

For the upcoming device MSI support it's necessary to change this and just
let the first domain which can compose the message take care of it. That
way the top level chip does not have to worry about it and the device MSI
code does not need special knowledge about topologies. It just sets the
compose callback to NULL and lets the hierarchy pick the first chip which
has one.

Due to that the attempt to move the compose callback from the direct
delivery PCI/MSI domain to the vector domain made the system fail to boot
with interrupt remapping enabled because in the remapping case
irq_chip_compose_msi_msg() keeps iterating and choses the compose callback
of the vector domain which obviously creates the wrong format for the remap
table.

Break out of the loop when the first irq chip with a compose callback is
found and fixup the HPET code temporarily. That workaround will be removed
once the direct delivery compose callback is moved to the place where it
belongs in the vector domain.

genirq: Provide interrupt injection mechanism

Error injection mechanisms need a half ways safe way to inject interrupts as
invoking generic_handle_irq() or the actual device interrupt handler
directly from e.g. a debugfs write is not guaranteed to be safe.

On x86 generic_handle_irq() is unsafe due to the hardware trainwreck which
is the base of x86 interrupt delivery and affinity management.

Move the irq debugfs injection code into a separate function which can be
used by error injection code as well.

The implementation prevents at least that state is corrupted, but it cannot
close a very tiny race window on x86 which might result in a stale and not
serviced device interrupt under very unlikely circumstances.

This is explicitly for debugging and testing and not for production use or
abuse in random driver code.

genirq: Add return value to check_irq_resend()

In preparation for an interrupt injection interface which can be used
safely by error injection mechanisms. e.g. PCI-E/ AER, add a return value
to check_irq_resend() so errors can be propagated to the caller.

Split out the software resend code so the ugly #ifdef in check_irq_resend()
goes away and the whole thing becomes readable.

Fix up the caller in debugfs. The caller in irq_startup() does not care
about the return value as this is unconditionally invoked for all
interrupts and the resend is best effort anyway.

genirq: Add protection against unsafe usage of generic_handle_irq()

In general calling generic_handle_irq() with interrupts disabled from non
interrupt context is harmless. For some interrupt controllers like the x86
trainwrecks this is outright dangerous as it might corrupt state if an
interrupt affinity change is pending.

Add infrastructure which allows to mark interrupts as unsafe and catch such
usage in generic_handle_irq().

genirq/proc: Reject invalid affinity masks (again)

Qian Cai reported that the WARN_ON() in the x86/msi affinity setting code,
which catches cases where the affinity setting is not done on the CPU which
is the current target of the interrupt, triggers during CPU hotplug stress
testing.

It turns out that the warning which was added with the commit addressing
the MSI affinity race unearthed yet another long standing bug.

If user space writes a bogus affinity mask, i.e. it contains no online CPUs,
then it calls irq_select_affinity_usr(). This was introduced for ALPHA in

eee45269b0f5 ("[PATCH] Alpha: convert to generic irq framework (generic part)")

and subsequently made available for all architectures in

18404756765c ("genirq: Expose default irq affinity mask (take 3)")

which introduced the circumvention of the affinity setting restrictions for
interrupt which cannot be moved in process context.

The whole exercise is bogus in various aspects:

1) If the interrupt is already started up then there is absolutely
no point to honour a bogus interrupt affinity setting from user
space. The interrupt is already assigned to an online CPU and it
does not make any sense to reassign it to some other randomly
chosen online CPU.

2) If the interupt is not yet started up then there is no point
either. A subsequent startup of the interrupt will invoke
irq_setup_affinity() anyway which will chose a valid target CPU.

So the only correct solution is to just return -EINVAL in case user space
wrote an affinity mask which does not contain any online CPUs, except for
ALPHA which has it's own magic sauce for this.

genirq: Add optional hardware synchronization for shutdown

free_irq() ensures that no hardware interrupt handler is executing on a
different CPU before actually releasing resources and deactivating the
interrupt completely in a domain hierarchy.

But that does not catch the case where the interrupt is on flight at the
hardware level but not yet serviced by the target CPU. That creates an
interesing race condition:

CPU 0 CPU 1 IRQ CHIP

interrupt is raised
sent to CPU1
Unable to handle
immediately
(interrupts off,
deep idle delay)
mask()
...
free()
shutdown()
synchronize_irq()
release_resources()
do_IRQ()
-> resources are not available

That might be harmless and just trigger a spurious interrupt warning, but
some interrupt chips might get into a wedged state.

Utilize the existing irq_get_irqchip_state() callback for the
synchronization in free_irq().

synchronize_hardirq() is not using this mechanism as it might actually
deadlock unter certain conditions, e.g. when called with interrupts
disabled and the target CPU is the one on which the synchronization is
invoked. synchronize_irq() uses it because that function cannot be called
from non preemtible contexts as it might sleep.

No functional change intended and according to Marc the existing GIC
implementations where the driver supports the callback should be able
to cope with that core change. Famous last words.

genirq: Delay deactivation in free_irq()

When interrupts are shutdown, they are immediately deactivated in the
irqdomain hierarchy. While this looks obviously correct there is a subtle
issue:

There might be an interrupt in flight when free_irq() is invoking the
shutdown. This is properly handled at the irq descriptor / primary handler
level, but the deactivation might completely disable resources which are
required to acknowledge the interrupt.

Split the shutdown code and deactivate the interrupt after synchronization
in free_irq(). Fixup all other usage sites where this is not an issue to
invoke the combined shutdown_and_deactivate() function instead.

This still might be an issue if the interrupt in flight servicing is
delayed on a remote CPU beyond the invocation of synchronize_irq(), but
that cannot be handled at that level and needs to be handled in the
synchronize_irq() context.
