Paul E. McKenney cdc694b235 rcu: Add kernel parameter to dump trace after RCU CPU stall warning
This commit adds a rcu_cpu_stall_ftrace_dump kernel boot parameter, that,
when set, causes the trace buffer to be dumped after an RCU CPU stall
warning is printed.  This kernel boot parameter is disabled by default,
maintaining compatibility with previous behavior.

Paul E. McKenney c682db558e rcutorture: Add trivial RCU implementation
I have been showing off a trivial RCU implementation for non-preemptive
environments for some time now:

	#define rcu_read_lock()
	#define rcu_read_unlock()
	#define rcu_dereference(p) READ_ONCE(p)
	#define rcu_assign_pointer(p, v) smp_store_release(&(p), (v))
	void synchronize_rcu(void)
	{
	int cpu;
		for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
			sched_setaffinity(current->pid, cpumask_of(cpu));
	}

Trivial or not, as the old saying goes, "if it ain't tested, it don't
work!".  This commit therefore adds a "trivial" flavor to rcutorture
and a corresponding TRIVIAL test scenario.  This variant does not handle
CPU hotplug, which is unconditionally enabled on x86 for post-v5.1-rc3
kernels, which is why the TRIVIAL.boot says "rcutorture.onoff_interval=0".
This commit actually does handle CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels, but only
because it turns back the Linux-kernel clock in order to provide these
alternative definitions (or the moral equivalent thereof):

	#define rcu_read_lock() preempt_disable()
	#define rcu_read_unlock() preempt_enable()

In CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernels without debugging, these are equivalent to
empty macros give or take a compiler barrier.  However, the have been
successfully tested with actual empty macros as well.

Yafang Shao 4f5fbd78a7 rcu: validate arguments for rcu tracepoints
When CONFIG_RCU_TRACE is not set, all these tracepoints are defined as
do-nothing macro.
We'd better make those inline functions that take proper arguments.

As RCU_TRACE() is defined as do-nothing marco as well when
CONFIG_RCU_TRACE is not set, so we can clean it up.

Paul E. McKenney 10462d6f58 rcu: Move RCU CPU stall-warning code out of update.c
The RCU CPU stall-warning code for normal grace periods is currently
scattered across three files, due to earlier Tiny RCU support for RCU
CPU stall warnings and for old Kconfig options that have long since
been retired.  Given that it is hard for the lead RCU maintainer to
find relevant stall-warning code, it would be good to consolidate it.
This commit starts this process by moving stall-warning code from
kernel/rcu/update.c to a new kernel/rcu/tree_stall.h file.

Note that the definitions of rcu_cpu_stall_suppress and
rcu_cpu_stall_timeout must remain in kernel/rcu/update.h to provide
compatibility for kernel boot parameter lists.

Paul E. McKenney e0fcba9ac0 srcu: Make call_srcu() available during very early boot
Event tracing is moving to SRCU in order to take advantage of the fact
that SRCU may be safely used from idle and even offline CPUs.  However,
event tracing can invoke call_srcu() very early in the boot process,
even before workqueue_init_early() is invoked (let alone rcu_init()).
Therefore, call_srcu()'s attempts to queue work fail miserably.

This commit therefore detects this situation, and refrains from attempting
to queue work before rcu_init() time, but does everything else that it
would have done, and in addition, adds the srcu_struct to a global list.
The rcu_init() function now invokes a new srcu_init() function, which
is empty if CONFIG_SRCU=n.  Otherwise, srcu_init() queues work for
each srcu_struct on the list.  This all happens early enough in boot
that there is but a single CPU with interrupts disabled, which allows
synchronization to be dispensed with.

Of course, the queued work won't actually be invoked until after
workqueue_init() is invoked, which happens shortly after the scheduler
is up and running.  This means that although call_srcu() may be invoked
any time after per-CPU variables have been set up, there is still a very
narrow window when synchronize_srcu() won't work, and this window
extends from the time that the scheduler starts until the time that
workqueue_init() returns.  This can be fixed in a manner similar to
the fix for synchronize_rcu_expedited() and friends, but until someone
actually needs to use synchronize_srcu() during this window, this fix
is added churn for no benefit.

Finally, note that Tree SRCU's new srcu_init() function invokes
queue_work() rather than the queue_delayed_work() function that is
invoked post-boot.  The reason is that queue_delayed_work() will (as you
would expect) post a timer, and timers have not yet been initialized.
So use of queue_work() avoids the complaints about use of uninitialized
spinlocks that would otherwise result.  Besides, some delay is already
provide by the aforementioned fact that the queued work won't actually
be invoked until after the scheduler is up and running.

Paul E. McKenney 74de6960c9 rcu: Provide functions for determining if call_rcu() has been invoked
This commit adds rcu_head_init() and rcu_head_after_call_rcu() functions
to help RCU users detect when another CPU has passed the specified
rcu_head structure and function to call_rcu().  The rcu_head_init()
should be invoked before making the structure visible to RCU readers,
and then the rcu_head_after_call_rcu() may be invoked from within
an RCU read-side critical section on an rcu_head structure that
was obtained during a traversal of the data structure in question.
The rcu_head_after_call_rcu() function will return true if the rcu_head
structure has already been passed (with the specified function) to
call_rcu(), otherwise it will return false.

If rcu_head_init() has not been invoked on the rcu_head structure
or if the rcu_head (AKA callback) has already been invoked, then
rcu_head_after_call_rcu() will do WARN_ON_ONCE().

Joel Fernandes (Google) 4babd855fd rcutorture: Add support to detect if boost kthread prio is too low
When rcutorture is built in to the kernel, an earlier patch detects
that and raises the priority of RCU's kthreads to allow rcutorture's
RCU priority boosting tests to succeed.

However, if rcutorture is built as a module, those priorities must be
raised manually via the rcutree.kthread_prio kernel boot parameter.
If this manual step is not taken, rcutorture's RCU priority boosting
tests will fail due to kthread starvation.  One approach would be to
raise the default priority, but that risks breaking existing users.
Another approach would be to allow runtime adjustment of RCU's kthread
priorities, but that introduces numerous "interesting" race conditions.
This patch therefore instead detects too-low priorities, and prints a
message and disables the RCU priority boosting tests in that case.

Paul E. McKenney 2e3e5e5501 rcu: Make rcu_start_this_gp() check for grace period already started
In the old days of ->gpnum and ->completed, the code requesting a new
grace period checked to see if that grace period had already started,
bailing early if so.  The new-age ->gp_seq approach instead checks
whether the grace period has already finished.  A compensating change
pushed the requested grace period down to the bottom of the tree, thus
reducing lock contention and even eliminating it in some cases.  But why
not further reduce contention, especially on large systems, by doing both,
especially given that the cost of doing both is extremely small?

This commit therefore adds a new rcu_seq_started() function that checks
whether a specified grace period has already started.  It then uses
this new function in place of rcu_seq_done() in the rcu_start_this_gp()
function's funnel locking code.

Paul E. McKenney ad7c946b35 rcu: Create RCU-specific workqueues with rescuers
RCU's expedited grace periods can participate in out-of-memory deadlocks
due to all available system_wq kthreads being blocked and there not being
memory available to create more.  This commit prevents such deadlocks
by allocating an RCU-specific workqueue_struct at early boot time, and
providing it with a rescuer to ensure forward progress.  This uses the
shiny new init_rescuer() function provided by Tejun (but indirectly).

This commit also causes SRCU to use this new RCU-specific
workqueue_struct.  Note that SRCU's use of workqueues never blocks them
waiting for readers, so this should be safe from a forward-progress
viewpoint.  Note that this moves SRCU from system_power_efficient_wq
to a normal workqueue.  In the unlikely event that this results in
measurable degradation, a separate power-efficient workqueue will be
creates for SRCU.

Paul E. McKenney 65963d2461 rcu: Make expedited RCU CPU selection avoid unnecessary stores
This commit reworks the first loop in sync_rcu_exp_select_cpus()
to avoid doing unnecssary stores to other CPUs' rcu_data
structures.  This speeds up that first loop by roughly a factor of
two on an old x86 system.  In the case where the system is mostly
idle, this loop incurs a large fraction of the overhead of the
synchronize_rcu_expedited().  There is less benefit on busy systems
because the overhead of the smp_call_function_single() in the second
loop dominates in that case.

However, it is not unusual to do configuration chances involving
RCU grace periods (both expedited and normal) while the system is
mostly idle, so this optimization is worth doing.

While we are in the area, this commit also adds parentheses to arguments
used by the for_each_leaf_node_possible_cpu() macro.

Matthew Wilcox a32e01ee68 rcu: Use wrapper for lockdep asserts
Commits c0b334c5bf and ea9b0c8a26 introduced new sparse warnings
by accessing rcu_node->lock directly and ignoring the __private
marker.  Introduce a new wrapper and use it.  Also fix a similar problem
in srcutree.c introduced by a3883df393.

Paul E. McKenney 84585aa8b6 rcu: Shrink ->dynticks_{nmi_,}nesting from long long to long
Because the ->dynticks_nesting field now only contains the process-based
nesting level instead of a value encoding both the process nesting level
and the irq "nesting" level, we no longer need a long long, even on
32-bit systems.  This commit therefore changes both the ->dynticks_nesting
and ->dynticks_nmi_nesting fields to long.

with its guard fields and overflow checking.  This commit therefore
makes ->dynticks_nesting be a simple counter.

Paul E. McKenney 6136d6e48a rcu: Clamp ->dynticks_nmi_nesting at eqs entry/exit
In preparation for merging dyntick-idle irq handling into the NMI
algorithm, clamp ->dynticks_nmi_nesting value to allow for interrupts
that enter but never leave and vice versa.

It is important that the clamping happen outside of the extended quiescent
state.  Otherwise, there will be short windows where irqs and NMIs fail
to convince RCU to start watching.

Paul E. McKenney f22ce09157 rcu: Suppress RCU CPU stall warnings while dumping trace
Currently, RCU emits Suppress RCU CPU stall warnings during its
automatically initiated ftrace_dump() calls after detecting an error
condition, which can result in excessively excessive console output
and lost trace events.  This commit therefore suppresses RCU CPU stall
warnings across any of these ftrace_dump() calls.

does a tracing_off() before any of these ftrace_dump() calls.

The CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL, CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_NONE, and

are redundant with the rcu_nocbs= boot parameter.  This commit therefore
removes these three Kconfig options and adjusts the rcutorture scripts

and only for Classic SRCU.  This commit fixes this typo.

Paul E. McKenney 2464dd940e srcu: Apply trivial callback lists to shrink Tiny SRCU
The rcu_segcblist structure provides quite a bit of functionality, and
Tiny SRCU needs almost none of it.  So this commit replaces Tiny SRCU's
uses of rcu_segcblist with a simple singly linked list with tail pointer.
This change significantly reduces Tiny SRCU's memory footprint, more
than making up for the growth caused by the creation of rcu_segcblist.c
