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.

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

Now that synchronize_rcu() waits for both RCU read-side critical
sections and preempt-disabled regions of code, the sole caller of
synchronize_rcu_mult() can be replaced by synchronize_rcu().
This patch makes this change and removes synchronize_rcu_mult().
Note that _wait_rcu_gp() still supports synchronize_rcu_mult(),
and thus might be simplified in the future to take only take
a single call_rcu() function rather than the current list of them.

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.

Joel Fernandes found that the synchronize_rcu_tasks() was taking a
significant amount of time. He demonstrated it with the following test:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# while [ 1 ]; do x=1; done &
# echo '__schedule_bug:traceon' > set_ftrace_filter
# time echo '!__schedule_bug:traceon' > set_ftrace_filter;
real 0m1.064s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.004s
Where it takes a little over a second to perform the synchronize,
because there's a loop that waits 1 second at a time for tasks to get
through their quiescent points when there's a task that must be waited
for.
After discussion we came up with a simple way to wait for holdouts but
increase the time for each iteration of the loop but no more than a
full second.
With the new patch we have:
# time echo '!__schedule_bug:traceon' > set_ftrace_filter;
real 0m0.131s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.004s
Which drops it down to 13% of what the original wait time was.

Commit e31d28b6ab ("trace: Eliminate cond_resched_rcu_qs() in favor
of cond_resched()") substituted cond_resched() for the earlier call
to cond_resched_rcu_qs(). However, the new-age cond_resched() does
not do anything to help RCU-tasks grace periods because (1) RCU-tasks
is only enabled when CONFIG_PREEMPT=y and (2) cond_resched() is a
complete no-op when preemption is enabled. This situation results
in hangs when running the trace benchmarks.
A number of potential fixes were discussed on LKML
(https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180224151240.0d63a059@vmware.local.home),
including making cond_resched() not be a no-op; making cond_resched()
not be a no-op, but only when running tracing benchmarks; reverting
the aforementioned commit (which works because cond_resched_rcu_qs()
does provide an RCU-tasks quiescent state; and adding a call to the
scheduler/RCU rcu_note_voluntary_context_switch() function. All were
deemed unsatisfactory, either due to added cond_resched() overhead or
due to magic functions inviting cargo culting.
This commit renames cond_resched_rcu_qs() to cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs(),
which provides a clear hint as to what this function is doing and
why and where it should be used, and then replaces the call to
cond_resched() with cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs() in the trace benchmark's
benchmark_event_kthread() function.

Currently the call_rcu_tasks() kthread is created upon first

Currently, doing synchronize_rcu_mult(call_rcu, call_rcu) might

synchronize_rcu_mult(call_rcu, call_rcu_sched) does exactly that.
This results in an ugly #ifdef in sched_cpu_deactivate().

state, but only if this call to schedule() was -not- due to a preemption.

So rcupdate.h is a pretty complex header, in particular it includes

which prevents the isolation of <linux/sched.h> from the derived

Solve part of the problem by decoupling rcupdate.h from completions:
this can be done by separating out the rcu_synchronize types and APIs,
and updating their usage sites.
Since this is a mostly RCU-internal types this will not just simplify
<linux/sched.h>'s dependencies, but will make all the hundreds of
.c files that include rcupdate.h but not completions or wait.h build
faster.
( For rcutiny this means that two dependent APIs have to be uninlined,
but that shouldn't be much of a problem as they are rare variants. )

The current preemptible RCU implementation goes through three phases
during bootup. In the first phase, there is only one CPU that is running
with preemption disabled, so that a no-op is a synchronous grace period.
In the second mid-boot phase, the scheduler is running, but RCU has
not yet gotten its kthreads spawned (and, for expedited grace periods,
workqueues are not yet running. During this time, any attempt to do
a synchronous grace period will hang the system (or complain bitterly,
depending). In the third and final phase, RCU is fully operational and
everything works normally.
This has been OK for some time, but there has recently been some
synchronous grace periods showing up during the second mid-boot phase.
This code worked "by accident" for awhile, but started failing as soon
as expedited RCU grace periods switched over to workqueues in commit
8b355e3bc1 ("rcu: Drive expedited grace periods from workqueue").
Note that the code was buggy even before this commit, as it was subject
to failure on real-time systems that forced all expedited grace periods
to run as normal grace periods (for example, using the rcu_normal ksysfs
parameter). The callchain from the failure case is as follows:
early_amd_iommu_init()
|-> acpi_put_table(ivrs_base);
|-> acpi_tb_put_table(table_desc);
|-> acpi_tb_invalidate_table(table_desc);
|-> acpi_tb_release_table(...)
|-> acpi_os_unmap_memory
|-> acpi_os_unmap_iomem
|-> acpi_os_map_cleanup
|-> synchronize_rcu_expedited
The kernel showing this callchain was built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y,
which caused the code to try using workqueues before they were
initialized, which did not go well.
This commit therefore reworks RCU to permit synchronous grace periods
to proceed during this mid-boot phase. This commit is therefore a
fix to a regression introduced in v4.9, and is therefore being put
forward post-merge-window in v4.10.
This commit sets a flag from the existing rcu_scheduler_starting()
function which causes all synchronous grace periods to take the expedited
path. The expedited path now checks this flag, using the requesting task
to drive the expedited grace period forward during the mid-boot phase.
Finally, this flag is updated by a core_initcall() function named
rcu_exp_runtime_mode(), which causes the runtime codepaths to be used.
Note that this arrangement assumes that tasks are not sent POSIX signals
(or anything similar) from the time that the first task is spawned
through core_initcall() time.

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of tree.c is:
init/Kconfig:config TREE_RCU
init/Kconfig: bool
...and update.c and sync.c are "obj-y" meaning that none are ever
built as a module by anyone.
Since MODULE_ALIAS is a no-op for non-modular code, we can remove
them from these files.
We leave moduleparam.h behind since the files instantiate some boot
time configuration parameters with module_param() still.

Currently, if the very first call to call_rcu_tasks() has irqs disabled,
it will create the rcu_tasks_kthread with irqs disabled, which will
result in a splat in the memory allocator, which kthread_run() invokes
with the expectation that irqs are enabled.
This commit fixes this problem by deferring kthread creation if called
with irqs disabled. The first call to call_rcu_tasks() that has irqs
enabled will create the kthread.
This bug was detected by rcutorture changes that were motivated by
Iftekhar Ahmed's mutation-testing efforts.

When activating a static object we need make sure that the object is
tracked in the object tracker. If it is a non-static object then the
activation is illegal.
In previous implementation, each subsystem need take care of this in
their fixup callbacks. Actually we can put it into debugobjects core.
Thus we can save duplicated code, and have *pure* fixup callbacks.
To achieve this, a new callback "is_static_object" is introduced to let
the type specific code decide whether a object is static or not. If
yes, we take it into object tracker, otherwise give warning and invoke
fixup callback.
This change has paassed debugobjects selftest, and I also do some test
with all debugobjects supports enabled.
At last, I have a concern about the fixups that can it change the object
which is in incorrect state on fixup? Because the 'addr' may not point
to any valid object if a non-static object is not tracked. Then Change
such object can overwrite someone's memory and cause unexpected
behaviour. For example, the timer_fixup_activate bind timer to function
stub_timer.

Currently, we have four versions of rcu_read_lock_sched_held(), depending
on the combined choices on PREEMPT_COUNT and DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC. However,
there is an existing function preemptible() that already distinguishes
between the PREEMPT_COUNT=y and PREEMPT_COUNT=n cases, and allows these
four implementations to be consolidated down to two.
This commit therefore uses preemptible() to achieve this consolidation.
Note that there could be a small performance regression in the case
of CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y && PREEMPT_COUNT=n. However, given the
overhead associated with CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y, this should be
down in the noise.

The rcu_expedited, rcu_normal, and rcu_normal_after_boot kernel boot
parameters are pointless in the case of TINY_RCU because in that case
synchronous grace periods, both expedited and normal, are no-ops.
However, these three symbols contribute several hundred bytes of bloat.
This commit therefore uses CPP directives to avoid compiling this code
in TINY_RCU kernels.
