 - "cleanup the RAID5 XOR library" (Christoph Hellwig)

   A quite far-reaching cleanup to this code. I can't do better than to
   quote Christoph:

     "The XOR library used for the RAID5 parity is a bit of a mess right
      now. The main file sits in crypto/ despite not being cryptography
      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
      smarter architecture implementations (although none is contained
      here yet), and uses static_call to avoid indirection function call
      overhead"

 Implementation
 ==============
 
-The soft and hard lockup detectors are built on top of the hrtimer and
-perf subsystems, respectively. A direct consequence of this is that,
-in principle, they should work in any architecture where these
-subsystems are present.
-
-A periodic hrtimer runs to generate interrupts and kick the watchdog
-job. An NMI perf event is generated every "watchdog_thresh"
-(compile-time initialized to 10 and configurable through sysctl of the
-same name) seconds to check for hardlockups. If any CPU in the system
-does not receive any hrtimer interrupt during that time the
-'hardlockup detector' (the handler for the NMI perf event) will
-generate a kernel warning or call panic, depending on the
-configuration.

-The watchdog job runs in a stop scheduling thread that updates a
-timestamp every time it is scheduled. If that timestamp is not updated

+The soft and hard lockup detectors are built around an hrtimer.
+In addition, the softlockup detector regularly schedules a job, and
+the hard lockup detector might use Perf/NMI events on architectures
+that support it.
+
+Frequency and Heartbeats
+------------------------
+
+The core of the detectors is an hrtimer. It serves multiple purposes:
+
+- schedules watchdog job for the softlockup detector
+- bumps the interrupt counter for hardlockup detectors (heartbeat)
+- detects softlockups
+- detects hardlockups in Buddy mode
+
+The period of this hrtimer is 2*watchdog_thresh/5, which is 4 seconds
+by default. The hrtimer has two or three chances to generate an interrupt
+(heartbeat) before the hardlockup detector kicks in.
+
+Softlockup Detector
+-------------------
+
+The watchdog job is scheduled by the hrtimer and runs in a stop scheduling
+thread. It updates a timestamp every time it is scheduled. If that timestamp
+is not updated for 2*watchdog_thresh seconds (the softlockup threshold) the
 'softlockup detector' (coded inside the hrtimer callback function)
 will dump useful debug information to the system log, after which it
 will call panic if it was instructed to do so or resume execution of
 other kernel code.
 
-The period of the hrtimer is 2*watchdog_thresh/5, which means it has
-two or three chances to generate an interrupt before the hardlockup
-detector kicks in.
+Hardlockup Detector (NMI/Perf)
+------------------------------
+
+On architectures that support NMI (Non-Maskable Interrupt) perf events,
+a periodic NMI is generated every "watchdog_thresh" seconds.
+
+If any CPU in the system does not receive any hrtimer interrupt
+(heartbeat) during the "watchdog_thresh" window, the 'hardlockup
+detector' (the handler for the NMI perf event) will generate a kernel
+warning or call panic.
+
+**Detection Overhead (NMI):**
+
+The time to detect a lockup can vary depending on when the lockup
+occurs relative to the NMI check window. Examples below assume a watchdog_thresh of 10.
+
+* **Best Case:** The lockup occurs just before the first heartbeat is
+  due. The detector will notice the missing hrtimer interrupt almost
+  immediately during the next check.
+
+  ::
+
+    Time 100.0: cpu 1 heartbeat
+    Time 100.1: hardlockup_check, cpu1 stores its state
+    Time 103.9: Hard Lockup on cpu1
+    Time 104.0: cpu 1 heartbeat never comes
+    Time 110.1: hardlockup_check, cpu1 checks the state again, should be the same, declares lockup
+
+    Time to detection: ~6 seconds
+
+* **Worst Case:** The lockup occurs shortly after a valid interrupt
+  (heartbeat) which itself happened just after the NMI check. The next
+  NMI check sees that the interrupt count has changed (due to that one
+  heartbeat), assumes the CPU is healthy, and resets the baseline. The
+  lockup is only detected at the subsequent check.
+
+  ::
+
+    Time 100.0: hardlockup_check, cpu1 stores its state
+    Time 100.1: cpu 1 heartbeat
+    Time 100.2: Hard Lockup on cpu1
+    Time 110.0: hardlockup_check, cpu1 stores its state (misses lockup as state changed)
+    Time 120.0: hardlockup_check, cpu1 checks the state again, should be the same, declares lockup
+
+    Time to detection: ~20 seconds
+
+Hardlockup Detector (Buddy)
+---------------------------
+
+On architectures or configurations where NMI perf events are not
+available (or disabled), the kernel may use the "buddy" hardlockup
+detector. This mechanism requires SMP (Symmetric Multi-Processing).
+
+In this mode, each CPU is assigned a "buddy" CPU to monitor. The
+monitoring CPU runs its own hrtimer (the same one used for softlockup
+detection) and checks if the buddy CPU's hrtimer interrupt count has
+increased.
+
+To ensure timeliness and avoid false positives, the buddy system performs
+checks at every hrtimer interval (2*watchdog_thresh/5, which is 4 seconds
+by default). It uses a missed-interrupt threshold of 3. If the buddy's
+interrupt count has not changed for 3 consecutive checks, it is assumed
+that the buddy CPU is hardlocked (interrupts disabled). The monitoring
+CPU will then trigger the hardlockup response (warning or panic).
+
+**Detection Overhead (Buddy):**
+
+With a default check interval of 4 seconds (watchdog_thresh = 10):
+
+* **Best case:** Lockup occurs just before a check.
+    Detected in ~8s (0s till 1st check + 4s till 2nd + 4s till 3rd).
+* **Worst case:** Lockup occurs just after a check.
+    Detected in ~12s (4s till 1st check + 4s till 2nd + 4s till 3rd).
+
+**Limitations of the Buddy Detector:**
+
+1.  **All-CPU Lockup:** If all CPUs lock up simultaneously, the buddy
+    detector cannot detect the condition because the monitoring CPUs
+    are also frozen.
+2.  **Stack Traces:** Unlike the NMI detector, the buddy detector
+    cannot directly interrupt the locked CPU to grab a stack trace.
+    It relies on architecture-specific mechanisms (like NMI backtrace
+    support) to try and retrieve the status of the locked CPU. If
+    such support is missing, the log may only show that a lockup
+    occurred without providing the locked CPU's stack.
 
-As explained above, a kernel knob is provided that allows
-administrators to configure the period of the hrtimer and the perf
-event. The right value for a particular environment is a trade-off
-between fast response to lockups and detection overhead.
