This reverts commit fbd24153

.

This commit is subtly buggy: kstrto*int() can return an error but
it's not checked in every path. simple_strtoul() on the other hand
could not fail, so this patch subtly intruduces new failure modes.

x86/apic/x2apic: Use multiple cluster members for the irq destination only with the explicit affinity

During boot or driver load etc, interrupt destination is setup
using default target cpu's. Later the user (irqbalance etc) or
the driver (irq_set_affinity/ irq_set_affinity_hint) can request
the interrupt to be migrated to some specific set of cpu's.

In the x2apic cluster routing, for the default scenario use
single cpu as the interrupt destination and when there is an
explicit interrupt affinity request, route the interrupt to
multiple members of a x2apic cluster specified in the cpumask of
the migration request.

This will minmize the vector pressure when there are lot of
interrupt sources and relatively few x2apic clusters (for
example a single socket server). This will allow the performance
critical interrupts to be routed to multiple cpu's in the x2apic
cluster (irqbalance for example uses the cache siblings etc
while specifying the interrupt destination) and allow
non-critical interrupts to be serviced by a single logical cpu.

For the x2apic cluster mode, vector for an interrupt is
currently reserved on all the cpu's that are part of the x2apic
cluster. But the interrupts will be routed only to the cluster
(derived from the first cpu in the mask) members specified in
the mask. So there is no need to reserve the vector in the
unused cluster members.

Modify __assign_irq_vector() to reserve the vectors based on the
user specified irq destination mask. If the new mask is a proper
subset of the currently used mask, cleanup the vector allocation
on the unused cpu members.

Also, allow the apic driver to tune the vector domain based on
the affinity mask (which in most cases is the user-specified
mask).

Currently __assign_irq_vector() goes through each cpu in the
specified mask until it finds a free vector in all the cpu's
that are part of the same interrupt domain. We visit all the
interrupt domain sibling cpus to reserve the free vector. So,
when we fail to find a free vector in an interrupt domain, it is
safe to continue our search with a cpu belonging to a new
interrupt domain. No need to go through each cpu, if the domain
containing that cpu is already visited.

Use the irq_cfg's old_domain to track the visited domains and
optimize the cpu traversal while finding a free vector in the
given cpumask.

NOTE: We can also optimize the search by using for_each_cpu() and
skip the current cpu, if it is not the first cpu in the mask
returned by the vector_allocation_domain(). But re-using the
cfg->old_domain to track the visited domains will be slightly
faster.

Currently cpu_mask_to_apicid() should not get a offline CPU with
the cpumask. Otherwise some apic drivers might try to access
non-existent per-cpu variables (i.e. x2apic). In that regard
cpu_mask_to_apicid() and cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() operations are
inconsistent.

This fix makes the two operations do not rely on calling
functions and always return the apicid for only online CPUs. As
result, the meaning and implementations of cpu_mask_to_apicid()
and cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() operations become straight.

Current cpu_mask_to_apicid() and cpu_mask_to_apicid_and()
implementations have few shortcomings:

1. A value returned by cpu_mask_to_apicid() is written to
hardware registers unconditionally. Should BAD_APICID get ever
returned it will be written to a hardware too. But the value of
BAD_APICID is not universal across all hardware in all modes and
might cause unexpected results, i.e. interrupts might get routed
to CPUs that are not configured to receive it.

2. Because the value of BAD_APICID is not universal it is
counter- intuitive to return it for a hardware where it does not
make sense (i.e. x2apic).

3. cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() operation is thought as an
complement to cpu_mask_to_apicid() that only applies a AND mask
on top of a cpumask being passed. Yet, as consequence of 18374d89


commit the two operations are inconsistent in that of:
  cpu_mask_to_apicid() should not get a offline CPU with the cpumask
  cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() should not fail and return BAD_APICID
These limitations are impossible to realize just from looking at
the operations prototypes.

Most of these shortcomings are resolved by returning a error
code instead of BAD_APICID. As the result, faults are reported
back early rather than possibilities to cause a unexpected
behaviour exist (in case of [1]).

The only exception is setup_timer_IRQ0_pin() routine. Although
obviously controversial to this fix, its existing behaviour is
preserved to not break the fragile check_timer() and would
better addressed in a separate fix.

In case of static vector allocation domains (i.e. flat) if all
vector numbers are exhausted, an attempt to assign a new vector
will lead to useless scans through all CPUs in the cpumask, even
though it is known that each new pass would fail. Make this
corner case less painful by letting report whether the vector
allocation domain depends on passed arguments or not and stop
scanning early.

The same could have been achived by introducing a static flag to
the apic operations. But let's allow vector_allocation_domain()
have more intelligence here and decide dynamically, in case we
would need it in the future.

When assigning a new vector it is primarially done by adding 8
to the previously given out vector number. Hence, two
consequently allocated vector numbers would likely fall into the
same priority level. Try to spread vector numbers to different
priority levels better by changing the step from 8 to 16.

x86/x2apic/cluster: Use all the members of one cluster specified in the smp_affinity mask for the interrupt destination

If the HW implements round-robin interrupt delivery, this
enables multiple cpu's (which are part of the user specified
interrupt smp_affinity mask and belong to the same x2apic
cluster) to service the interrupt.

Also if the platform supports Power Aware Interrupt Routing,
then this enables the interrupt to be routed to an idle cpu or a
busy cpu depending on the perf/power bias tunable.

We are now grouping all the cpu's in a cluster to one vector
domain. So that will limit the total number of interrupt sources
handled by Linux. Previously we support "cpu-count *
available-vectors-per-cpu" interrupt sources but this will now
reduce to "cpu-count/16 * available-vectors-per-cpu".

Until now, irq_cfg domain is mostly static. Either all CPU's
(used by flat mode) or one CPU (first CPU in the irq afffinity
mask) to which irq is being migrated (this is used by the rest
of apic modes).

Upcoming x2apic cluster mode optimization patch allows the irq
to be sent to any CPU in the x2apic cluster (if supported by the
HW). So irq_cfg domain changes on the fly (depending on which
CPU in the x2apic cluster is online).

Instead of checking for any intersection between the new irq
affinity mask and the current irq_cfg domain, check if the new
irq affinity mask is a subset of the current irq_cfg domain.
Otherwise proceed with updating the irq_cfg domain aswell as
assigning vector's on all the CPUs specified in the new mask.

This also cleans up a workaround in updating irq_cfg domain for
legacy irq's that are handled by the IO-APIC.

Cyrill Gorcunov reports that I broke the fdinfo files with commit
30a08bf2 ("proc: move fd symlink i_mode calculations into
tid_fd_revalidate()"), and he's quite right.

The tid_fd_revalidate() function is not just used for the <tid>/fd
symlinks, it's also used for the <tid>/fdinfo/<fd> files, and the
permission model for those are different.

So do the dynamic symlink permission handling just for symlinks, making
the fdinfo files once more appear as the proper regular files they are.

Of course, Al Viro argued (probably correctly) that we shouldn't do the
symlink permission games at all, and make the symlinks always just be
the normal 'lrwxrwxrwx'.  That would have avoided this issue too, but
since somebody noticed that the permissions had changed (which was the
reason for that original commit 30a08bf2

 in the first place), people
do apparently use this feature.

[ Basically, you can use the symlink permission data as a cheap "fdinfo"
  replacement, since you see whether the file is open for reading and/or
  writing by just looking at st_mode of the symlink.  So the feature
  does make sense, even if the pain it has caused means we probably
  shouldn't have done it to begin with. ]
