It will start spewing to early_printk() (which is a lot nicer to use
from NMI context too) when it fails to queue the IRQ-work because its
already enqueued.
It does have the false-positive for when two CPUs trigger the warn
concurrently, but that should be rare and some extra clutter on the
early printk shouldn't be a problem.

Conflicts:
kernel/irq_work.c
Add support for printk in full dynticks CPU.
* Don't stop tick with irq works pending. This
fix is generally useful and concerns archs that
can't raise self IPIs.
* Flush irq works before CPU offlining.
* Introduce "lazy" irq works that can wait for the
next tick to be executed, unless it's stopped.
* Implement klogd wake up using irq work. This
removes the ad-hoc printk_tick()/printk_needs_cpu()
hooks and make it working even in dynticks mode.

As no one is using the return value of irq_work_queue(),
so it is better to just make it void.

On irq work initialization, let the user choose to define it
as "lazy" or not. "Lazy" means that we don't want to send
an IPI (provided the arch can anyway) when we enqueue this
work but we rather prefer to wait for the next timer tick
to execute our work if possible.
This is going to be a benefit for non-urgent enqueuers
(like printk in the future) that may prefer not to raise
an IPI storm in case of frequent enqueuing on short periods
of time.

If we are in nohz and there's still irq_work to be done when the idle
task is about to go offline, give a nasty warning. Everything should
have been flushed from the CPU_DYING notifier already. Further attempts
to enqueue an irq_work are buggy because irqs are disabled by
__cpu_disable(). The best we can do is to report the issue to the user.

In order not to offline a CPU with pending irq works, flush the
queue from CPU_DYING. The notifier is called by stop_machine on
the CPU that is going down. The code will not be called from irq context
(so things like get_irq_regs() wont work) but I'm not sure what the
requirements are for irq_work in that regard (Peter?). But irqs are
disabled and the CPU is about to go offline. Might as well flush the work.

Don't stop the tick if we have pending irq works on the
queue, otherwise if the arch can't raise self-IPIs, we may not
find an opportunity to execute the pending works for a while.

Work claiming wants to be SMP-safe.
And by the time we try to claim a work, if it is already executing
concurrently on another CPU, we want to succeed the claiming and queue
the work again because the other CPU may have missed the data we wanted
to handle in our work if it's about to complete there.
This scenario is summarized below:
CPU 1 CPU 2
----- -----
(flags = 0)
cmpxchg(flags, 0, IRQ_WORK_FLAGS)
(flags = 3)
[...]
xchg(flags, IRQ_WORK_BUSY)
(flags = 2)
func()
if (flags & IRQ_WORK_PENDING)
(not true)
cmpxchg(flags, flags, IRQ_WORK_FLAGS)
(flags = 3)
[...]
cmpxchg(flags, IRQ_WORK_BUSY, 0);
(fail, pending on CPU 2)
This state machine is synchronized using [cmp]xchg() on the flags.
As such, the early IRQ_WORK_PENDING check in CPU 2 above is racy.
By the time we check it, we may be dealing with a stale value because
we aren't using an atomic accessor. As a result, CPU 2 may "see"
that the work is still pending on another CPU while it may be
actually completing the work function exection already, leaving
our data unprocessed.
To fix this, we start by speculating about the value we wish to be
in the work->flags but we only make any conclusion after the value
returned by the cmpxchg() call that either claims the work or let
the current owner handle the pending work for us.

The IRQ_WORK_BUSY flag is set right before we execute the
work. Once this flag value is set, the work enters a
claimable state again.
So if we have specific data to compute in our work, we ensure it's
either handled by another CPU or locally by enqueuing the work again.
This state machine is guanranteed by atomic operations on the flags.
So when we set IRQ_WORK_BUSY without using an xchg-like operation,
we break this guarantee as in the following summarized scenario:
CPU 1 CPU 2
----- -----
(flags = 0)
old_flags = flags;
(flags = 0)
cmpxchg(flags, old_flags,
old_flags | IRQ_WORK_FLAGS)
(flags = 3)
[...]
flags = IRQ_WORK_BUSY
(flags = 2)
func()
(sees flags = 3)
cmpxchg(flags, old_flags,
old_flags | IRQ_WORK_FLAGS)
(give up)
cmpxchg(flags, 2, 0);
(flags = 0)
CPU 1 claims a work and executes it, so it sets IRQ_WORK_BUSY and
the work is again in a claimable state. Now CPU 2 has new data to process
and try to claim that work but it may see a stale value of the flags
and think the work is still pending somewhere that will handle our data.
This is because CPU 1 doesn't set IRQ_WORK_BUSY atomically.
As a result, the data expected to be handle by CPU 2 won't get handled.
To fix this, use xchg() to set IRQ_WORK_BUSY, this way we ensure the CPU 2
will see the correct value with cmpxchg() using the expected ordering.

Builds of the MIPS platform ip32_defconfig fails as of commit
0195c00244dc ("Merge tag 'split-asm_system_h ...") because MIPS xchg()
macro uses BUILD_BUG_ON and it was moved in commit b81947c646bf
("Disintegrate asm/system.h for MIPS").
The root cause is that the system.h split wasn't tested on a baseline
with commit 6c03438edeb5 ("kernel.h: doesn't explicitly use bug.h, so
don't include it.")
Since this file uses BUG code in several other places besides the xchg
call, simply make the inclusion explicit.

Up until now, this file was getting percpu.h because nearly every
file was implicitly getting module.h (and all its sub-includes).
But we want to clean that up, so call out percpu.h explicitly.
Otherwise we'll get things like this on an ARM build:
kernel/irq_work.c:48: error: expected declaration specifiers or '...' before 'irq_work_list'
kernel/irq_work.c:48: warning: type defaults to 'int' in declaration of 'DEFINE_PER_CPU'
The same thing was happening for builds on ARM for asm/processor.h
kernel/irq_work.c: In function 'irq_work_sync':
kernel/irq_work.c:166: error: implicit declaration of function 'cpu_relax'

The changed files were only including linux/module.h for the
EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructure, and nothing else. Revector them
onto the isolated export header for faster compile times.
Nothing to see here but a whole lot of instances of:
-#include <linux/module.h>
+#include <linux/export.h>
This commit is only changing the kernel dir; next targets
will probably be mm, fs, the arch dirs, etc.

The irq work queue is a per cpu object and it is sufficient for
synchronization if per cpu atomics are used. Doing so simplifies
the code and reduces the overhead of the code.

The compiler warned us about:
kernel/irq_work.c: In function 'irq_work_run':
kernel/irq_work.c:148: warning: value computed is not used
Dropping the cmpxchg() result is indeed weird, but correct -
so annotate away the warning.

Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is
most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the
system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers.
Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as
a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also
benefit.
The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where
possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the
built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately.
Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a
callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call
irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such
work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in
processing the work.
