[PATCH 00/22] cpu,sched: Mark arch_cpu_idle_dead() __noreturn

[PATCH 00/22] cpu,sched: Mark arch_cpu_idle_dead() __noreturn

[Josh Poimboeuf]

These are some minor changes to enable the __noreturn attribute for
arch_cpu_idle_dead().  (If there are no objections, I can merge the
entire set through the tip tree.)

Until recently [1], in Xen, when a previously offlined CPU was brought
back online, it unexpectedly resumed execution where it left off in the
middle of the idle loop by returning from play_dead() and its caller
arch_cpu_idle_dead().

There were some clever hacks to make that work, but the behavior was
surprising as do_idle() doesn't expect an offlined CPU to return from
the dead in the middle of the function.

Now that Xen has been fixed, make sure arch_cpu_idle_dead() never
returns by marking it __noreturn.  This causes the compiler to complain
if an arch-specific implementation might return.  It also improves code
generation for both caller and callee.

Patches 1-20 update the arch-specific implementations of the function so
they don't actually return (even in error cases), and make that visible
to the compiler.  That's typically done by ending the function with a
call to another noreturn function, or with a BUG().

Patch 21 fixes the weak implementation.

Patch 22 actually adds the __noreturn attribute.

[PATCH 19/22] xtensa/cpu: Make sure cpu_die() doesn't return

[Josh Poimboeuf]

cpu_die() doesn't return.  Make that more explicit with a BUG().

BUG() is preferable to unreachable() because BUG() is a more explicit
failure mode and avoids undefined behavior like falling off the edge of
the function into whatever code happens to be next.

[PATCH 22/22] sched/idle: Mark arch_cpu_idle_dead() __noreturn

[Josh Poimboeuf]

Before commit 076cbf5d2163 ("x86/xen: don't let xen_pv_play_dead()
return"), in Xen, when a previously offlined CPU was brought back
online, it unexpectedly resumed execution where it left off in the
middle of the idle loop.

There were some hacks to make that work, but the behavior was surprising
as do_idle() doesn't expect an offlined CPU to return from the dead (in
arch_cpu_idle_dead()).

Now that Xen has been fixed, and the arch-specific implementations of
arch_cpu_idle_dead() also don't return, give it a __noreturn attribute.

This will cause the compiler to complain if an arch-specific
implementation might return.  It also improves code generation for both
caller and callee.

Also fixes the following warning:

  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: do_idle+0x25f: unreachable instruction

Without the BUG() in csky arch_cpu_idle_dead(), the compiler will warn
about arch_cpu_idle_dead() returning, because it's marked __noreturn but
doesn't clearly return (as far as the compiler knows).

And we want it marked __noreturn so we'll be more likely to catch such
bugs at build time.

And as a bonus we get better code generation and clearer code semantics
which helps both humans and tooling understand the intent of the code.

Can we also mark arch_cpu_idle_dead() (the C function) __noreturn ?

Seems like it would be good documentation, even if it's not required
once the generic prototype is __noreturn.

But not a show-stopper.

Yeah, agreed.  Maybe I'll do that (for all the implementations) with
patch 22.

[PATCH v1.1 22/22] sched/idle: Mark arch_cpu_idle_dead() __noreturn

[Josh Poimboeuf]

Before commit 076cbf5d2163 ("x86/xen: don't let xen_pv_play_dead()

middle of the idle loop.

There were some hacks to make that work, but the behavior was surprising

arch_cpu_idle_dead()).

Now that Xen has been fixed, and the arch-specific implementations of
arch_cpu_idle_dead() also don't return, give it a __noreturn attribute.

This will cause the compiler to complain if an arch-specific
implementation might return.  It also improves code generation for both
