Pull NOHZ updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Fix a long standing TOCTOU in get_cpu_sleep_time_us()
- Make the CPU offline NOHZ handling more robust by disabling NOHZ on
the outgoing CPU early instead of creating unneeded state which needs
to be undone.
- Unify idle CPU time accounting instead of having two different
accounting mechanisms. These two different mechanisms are not really
independent, but the different properties can in the worst case cause
that gloabl idle time can be observed going backwards.
- Consolidate the idle/iowait time retrieval interfaces instead of
converting back and forth between them.
- Make idle interrupt time accounting more robust. The original code
assumes that interrupt time accouting is enabled and therefore stops
elapsing idle time while an interrupt is handled in NOHZ dyntick
state. That assumption is not correct as interrupt time accounting
can be disabled at compile and runtime.
- Fix an accounting error between dyntick idle time and dyntick idle
steal time. The stolen time is not accounted and therefore idle time
becomes inaccurate. The stolen time is now accounted after the fact
as there is no way to predict the steal time upfront.

Pull interrupt core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Rework of /proc/interrupt handling:
/proc/interrupts was subject to micro optimizations for a long time,
but most of the low hanging fruit was left on the table. This rework
addresses the major time consuming issues:
- Printing a long series of zeros one by one via a format string
instead of counting subsequent zeros and emitting a string
constant.
- Simplify and cache the conditions whether interrupts should be
printed
- Use a proper iteration over the interrupt descriptor xarray
instead of walking and testing one by one.
- Provide helper functions for the architecture code to emit the
architecture specific counters
- Convert the counter structure in x86 to an array, which
simplifies the output and add mechanisms to suppress unused
architecture interrupts, which just occupy space for nothing.
Adopt the new core mechanisms.
This adjusts the gdb scripts related to interrupt counter statistics
to work with the new mechanisms.
- Prevent a string overflow in the /proc/irq/$N/ directory name
creation code.

The chip name column in the /proc/interrupt output is 8 characters and
right aligned, which causes visual clutter due to the fixed length and the
alignment. Many interrupt chips, e.g. PCI/MSI[X] have way longer names.
Update the length when a chip is assigned to an interrupt and utilize this
information for the output. Align it left so all chip names start at the
begin of the column.
Update the GDB script as well and disentangle the header maze so it
actually works with all .config combinations.

Quite some architectures have four character wide acronyms for architecture
specific interrupts like IPI, NMI, etc.
The default precision of printing the Linux device interrupt numbers is
three, which causes quite some code to play games with adding or omitting
space after the acronym and the colon in order to keep the per CPU numbers
properly aligned.
Increase the default number precision to four in the core code and get rid
of the space games all over the place. At the same time align all
architecture specific descriptor texts left so that they show up in the
same column as the interrupt chip names, which makes the output more
uniform accross architectures. Fix up the GDB script to this new scheme as
well.

and not using the crypto API, with the generic implementations
sitting in include/asm-generic and the arch implementations
sitting in an asm/ header in theory. The latter doesn't work for
many cases, so architectures often build the code directly into
the core kernel, or create another module for the architecture
code.
Change this to a single module in lib/ that also contains the
architecture optimizations, similar to the library work Eric
Biggers has done for the CRC and crypto libraries later. After
that it changes to better calling conventions that allow for

One can debug BPF programs with QEMU gdbstub by setting a breakpoint on
bpf_prog_kallsyms_add(), waiting for a hit with a matching aux.name, and
then setting a breakpoint on bpf_func. This is tedious, error-prone, and
also lacks line numbers.
Automate this in a way similar to the existing support for modules in
lx-symbols.
Enumerate and monitor changes to both BPF kallsyms and JITed progs. For
each ksym, generate and compile a synthetic .s file containing the name,
code, and size. In addition, if this ksym is also a prog, and not a
trampoline, add line number information.
Ensure that this is a no-op if the kernel is built without BPF support or
if "as" is missing. In theory the "as" dependency may be dropped by
generating the synthetic .o file manually, but this is too much complexity
for too little benefit.
Now one can debug BPF progs out of the box like this:
(gdb) lx-symbols -bpf
(gdb) b bpf_prog_4e612a6a881a086b_arena_list_add
Breakpoint 2 (bpf_prog_4e612a6a881a086b_arena_list_add) pending.

When one starts QEMU with the -S flag and attaches GDB, the kernel is
not yet loaded, and the current instruction is an entry point to the
decompressor. In case the intention is to debug the early kernel boot,
and not the decompressor, e.g., put a breakpoint on some kernel
function and see all the invocations, one has to skip the decompressor.
There are many ways to do this, and so far people wrote private scripts
or memorized certain command sequences.
Make it work out of the box like this:
$ gdb -ex 'target remote :6812' -ex 'source vmlinux-gdb.py' vmlinux
Remote debugging using :6812
0x0000000000010000 in ?? ()

loading vmlinux
(gdb) x/i $pc
=> 0x3ffe0100000 <startup_continue>: lghi %r2,0
Implement this by reading the address of the jump_to_kernel() function
from the lowcore, and step until DAT is turned on.

In commit 721255b982 ("genirq: Use a maple tree for interrupt descriptor
management"), the irq_desc_tree was replaced with a sparse_irqs tree using
a maple tree structure. Since the script looked for the irq_desc_tree
symbol which is no longer available, no interrupts would be printed and
the script output would not be useful anymore.
In addition to looking up the correct symbol (sparse_irqs), a new module
(mapletree.py) is added whose mtree_load() implementation is largely
copied after the C version and uses the same variable and intermediate
function names wherever possible to ensure that both the C and Python
version be updated in the future.
This restores the scripts' output to match that of /proc/interrupts.

Using lx-symbols during s390 early boot fails with:
Error occurred in Python: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xcb in position 0: invalid continuation byte
The reason is that s390 decompressor's startup_kernel() does not create
vmcoreinfo note, and sets vmcore_info to kernel's physical base. This
confuses get_vmcore_s390().
Fix by handling this special case. Extract vm_layout.kaslr_offset from
the kernel image in physical memory, which is placed there by the
decompressor using the __bootdata_preserved mechanism, and generate a
synthetic vmcoreinfo note from it.

Patch series "scripts/gdb/symbols: determine KASLR offset on s390 during
early boot".
I noticed that debugging s390 early boot using the support I introduced in
commit 28939c3e99 ("scripts/gdb/symbols: determine KASLR offset on
s390") does not work.
The reason is that decompressor does not provide the vmcoreinfo note, so
KASLR offset needs to be extracted in a different way, which this series
implements. Patches 1-2 are trivial refactorings, and patch 3 is the
implementation.
This patch (of 3):
Move the code that determines the current vmlinux file into a separate
function. It will be useful later in order to analyze the kernel image in
physical memory during s390 early boot.

Patch series "scripts/gdb: Fixes related to lx_per_cpu()".
These patches (1) fix kgdb detection on systems featuring a single CPU and
(2) update the documentation to reflect the current usage of lx_per_cpu()
and update an outdated example of its usage.
This patch (of 2):
When requested the list of threads via qfThreadInfo, gdb_cmd_query in
kernel/debug/gdbstub.c first returns "shadow" threads for CPUs followed by
the actual tasks in the system. Extended qThreadExtraInfo queries yield
"shadowCPU%d" as the name for the CPU core threads.
This behavior is used by get_gdbserver_type() to probe for KGDB by
matching the name for the thread 2 against "shadowCPU". This breaks down
on single-core systems, where thread 2 is the first nonshadow thread.
Request the name for thread 1 instead.
As GDB assigns thread IDs in the order of their appearance, it is safe to
assume shadowCPU0 at ID 1 as long as CPU0 is not hotplugged.

When loading symbols from kernel modules we used to iterate
from 0 to module_sect_attrs::nsections, in order to
retrieve their name and address.
However module_sect_attrs::nsections has been removed from
the struct by a previous commit.
Re-arrange the iteration by accessing all items in
module_sect_attrs::grp::bin_attrs[] until NULL is found
(it's a NULL terminated array).
At the same time the symbol address cannot be extracted
from module_sect_attrs::attrs[]::address anymore because
it has also been deleted. Fetch it from
module_sect_attrs::grp::bin_attrs[]::private as described
in 4b2c11e4aa.

We currently have $lx_per_cpu() which works fine for stuff that kernel
code would access via per_cpu(). But this doesn't work for stuff that
kernel code accesses via per_cpu_ptr():
(gdb) p $lx_per_cpu(node_data[1].node_zones[2]->per_cpu_pageset)
Cannot access memory at address 0xffff11105fbd6c28
This is because we take the address of the pointer and use that as the
offset, instead of using the stored value.
Add a GDB version that mirrors the kernel API, which uses the pointer
value.
To be consistent with per_cpu_ptr(), we need to return the pointer value
instead of dereferencing it for the user. Therefore, move the existing
dereference out of the per_cpu() Python helper and do that only in the
$lx_per_cpu() implementation.

Patch series "Fix some GDB command error and add some GDB commands", v3.
Fix some GDB command errors and add some useful GDB commands.
This patch (of 5):
Commit 7988e5ae2b ("tick: Split nohz and highres features from
nohz_mode") and commit 7988e5ae2b ("tick: Split nohz and highres
features from nohz_mode") move 'tick_stopped' and 'nohz_mode' to flags
field which will break the gdb lx-mounts command:
(gdb) lx-timerlist
Python Exception <class 'gdb.error'>: There is no member named nohz_mode.
Error occurred in Python: There is no member named nohz_mode.
(gdb) lx-timerlist
Python Exception <class 'gdb.error'>: There is no member named tick_stopped.
Error occurred in Python: There is no member named tick_stopped.
We move 'tick_stopped' and 'nohz_mode' to flags field instead.
