In kernel/irq/manage.c::irq_set_irq_wake() we call
irq_get_desc_buslock() which may return NULL, but the code
dereferences the result unconditionally.
irq_set_irq_wake() has lots of callers - I checked a few and I couldn't
find anything that guarantees that they won't call it with some input that
will cause irq_get_desc_buslock() to return NULL, so I think it's a good
thing to test and -EINVAL was the most sane error code in this situation
that I could think of.
Not all callers test the return value of irq_set_irq_wake(), but those
that do take != 0 to mean error as far as I can see, so they should be
fine. I guess those that don't test actually should, but that's a
different issue.

The original comment was outdated and stated that the interrupts were
being disabled to prevent kstop machine, which was required with the
old ftrace daemon, but was no longer the case.
What the comment failed to mention was that interrupts needed to be
disabled to keep interrupts from preempting the modifying of the code
and then executing the code that was partially modified.

it will fail the test if the function is not listed in kallsyms.

A lost Quilt refresh of 2c29ef0fef8 (perf: Simplify and fix
__perf_install_in_context()) is causing grief and lockups,
reported by Jiri Olsa.
When installing an event in a task context, there's a number of
issues:
- there might not be an existing task context, in which case
we should install the now current context;
- there might already be a context, not the current one, in
which case we should de-schedule the old and install the new;
these cases were dealt with in the lost refresh, however there is one
further case that was found in testing:
- there might already be a context, the current one, in which
case we should still de-schedule, and should take care
to re-install it (note that task_ctx_sched_out() clears
cpuctx->task_ctx).

When irq_alloc_descs() is called with no base IRQ specified then it will
search for a range of IRQs starting from a specified base address. In the
case where an IRQ is specified it still does this search in order to ensure
that none of the requested range is already allocated and it still uses the
from parameter to specify the base for the search. This means that in the
case where a base is specified but from is zero (which is reasonable as
any IRQ number is in the range specified by a zero from) the function will
get confused and try to allocate the first suitably sized block of free IRQs
it finds.
Instead use a specified IRQ as the base address for the search, and insist
that any from that is specified can support that IRQ.

The genirq changes are initializing descriptors for sparse IRQs quite
differently from how non-sparse (stacked?) IRQs are initialized, with
the effect that on my platform all IRQs are default-disabled on sparse
IRQs and default-enabled if non-sparse IRQs are used, crashing some
GPIO driver.
Fix this by refactoring the non-sparse IRQs to use the same descriptor
init function as the sparse IRQs.

It turns out that this is due to non-synced TSC and the queued remote
wakeups stopped coupeling the two relevant cpu clocks, which leads to
wakeups seeing time jumps, which in turn lead to skewed runtime stats.
Add an explicit call to sched_clock_cpu() to couple the per-cpu clocks

Commit cc3ce5176d83 (rcu: Start RCU kthreads in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE
state) fudges a sleeping task' state, resulting in the scheduler seeing
a TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE task going to sleep, but a TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE
task waking up. The result is unbalanced load calculation.
The problem that patch tried to address is that the RCU threads could
stay in UNINTERRUPTIBLE state for quite a while and triggering the hung
task detector due to on-demand wake-ups.
Cure the problem differently by always giving the tasks at least one
wake-up once the CPU is fully up and running, this will kick them out of
the initial UNINTERRUPTIBLE state and into the regular INTERRUPTIBLE
wait state.
[ The alternative would be teaching kthread_create() to start threads as
INTERRUPTIBLE but that needs a tad more thought. ]

idle governor: Avoid lock acquisition to read pm_qos before entering idle
cpuidle: menu: fixed wrapping timers at 4.294 seconds
Thanks to the reviews and comments by Rafael, James, Mark and Andi.
Here's version 2 of the patch incorporating your comments and also some
update to my previous patch comments.
I noticed that before entering idle state, the menu idle governor will
look up the current pm_qos target value according to the list of qos
requests received. This look up currently needs the acquisition of a
lock to access the list of qos requests to find the qos target value,
slowing down the entrance into idle state due to contention by multiple
cpus to access this list. The contention is severe when there are a lot
of cpus waking and going into idle. For example, for a simple workload
that has 32 pair of processes ping ponging messages to each other, where
64 cpu cores are active in test system, I see the following profile with
37.82% of cpu cycles spent in contention of pm_qos_lock:
- 37.82% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k]
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave
- _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
- 95.65% pm_qos_request
menu_select
cpuidle_idle_call
- cpu_idle
99.98% start_secondary
A better approach will be to cache the updated pm_qos target value so
reading it does not require lock acquisition as in the patch below.
With this patch the contention for pm_qos_lock is removed and I saw a
2.2X increase in throughput for my message passing workload.

In order to always call list_del_event() on the correct cpu if the
event is part of an active context and avoid having to do two IPIs,
change the close() semantics slightly.
The current perf_event_disable() call would disable a whole group if
the event that's being closed is the group leader, whereas the new
code keeps the group siblings enabled.
People should not rely on this behaviour and I don't think they do,

Currently __perf_install_in_context() will try and schedule in the
event irrespective of our event scheduling rules, that is, we try to
schedule CPU-pinned, TASK-pinned, CPU-flexible, TASK-flexible, but
when creating a new event we simply try and schedule it on top of
whatever is already on the PMU, this can lead to errors for pinned
events.
Therefore, simplify things and simply schedule everything out, add the
event to the corresponding context and schedule everything back in.
This also nicely handles the case where with

It is not necessary to use waitqueues for the RCU kthreads because
we always know exactly which thread is to be awakened. In addition,
wake_up() only issues an actual wakeup when there is a thread waiting on
the queue, which was why there was an extra explicit wake_up_process()
to get the RCU kthreads started.
Eliminating the waitqueues (and wake_up()) in favor of wake_up_process()
eliminates the need for the initial wake_up_process() and also shrinks
the data structure size a bit. The wakeup logic is placed in a new
rcu_wait() macro.

current but before it clears p->on_cpu, if that interrupt were to
