Paul E. McKenney d72193123c rcutorture: Correctly handle grace-period sequence wrap
The new ->gq_seq grace-period sequence numbers must be shifted down,
which give artifacts when these numbers wrap.  This commit therefore
enables rcutorture and rcuperf to handle grace-period sequence numbers
even if they do wrap.  It does this by allowing a special subtraction
function to be specified, and this function subtracts before shifting.

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 17ef2fe97c rcu: Make rcutorture's batches-completed API use ->gp_seq
The rcutorture test invokes rcu_batches_started(),
rcu_batches_completed(), rcu_batches_started_bh(),
rcu_batches_completed_bh(), rcu_batches_started_sched(), and
rcu_batches_completed_sched() to do grace-period consistency checks,
and rcuperf uses the _completed variants for statistics.
These functions use ->gpnum and ->completed.  This commit therefore
replaces them with rcu_get_gp_seq(), rcu_bh_get_gp_seq(), and
rcu_sched_get_gp_seq(), adjusting rcutorture and rcuperf to make
use of them.

Paul E. McKenney 5257514d88 rcu: Make expedited grace period use direct call on last leaf
During expedited grace-period initialization, a work item is scheduled
for each leaf rcu_node structure.  However, that initialization code
is itself (normally) executing from a workqueue, so one of the leaf
rcu_node structures could just as well be handled by that pre-existing
workqueue, and with less overhead.  This commit therefore uses a
shiny new rcu_is_leaf_node() macro to execute the last leaf rcu_node
structure's initialization directly from the pre-existing workqueue.

Paul E. McKenney 25f3d7effa rcu: Parallelize expedited grace-period initialization
The latency of RCU expedited grace periods grows with increasing numbers
of CPUs, eventually failing to be all that expedited.  Much of the growth
in latency is in the initialization phase, so this commit uses workqueues
to carry out this initialization concurrently on a rcu_node-by-rcu_node
basis.

This change makes use of a new rcu_par_gp_wq because flushing a work
item from another work item running from the same workqueue can result
in deadlock.

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.

Dmitry Vyukov f010ed82c7 rcu: Fix warning in rcu_seq_end()
The rcu_seq_end() function increments seq signifying completion
of a grace period, after that checks that the seq is even and wakes
_synchronize_rcu_expedited().  The _synchronize_rcu_expedited() function
uses wait_event() to wait for even seq.  The problem is that wait_event()
can return as soon as seq becomes even without waiting for the wakeup.
In such case the warning in rcu_seq_end() can falsely fire if the next
expedited grace period starts before the check.

Check that seq has good value before incrementing it.

Paul E. McKenney 2e8c28c2dd srcu: Move rcu_seq_start() and friends to rcu.h
This commit moves rcu_seq_start(), rcu_seq_end(), rcu_seq_snap(),
and rcu_seq_done() from kernel/rcu/tree.c to kernel/rcu/rcu.h.
This will allow SRCU to use these functions, which in turn will
allow SRCU to move from a single global callback queue to a
per-CPU callback queue.

Paul E. McKenney dffd06a756 rcu: Semicolon inside RCU_TRACE() for rcu.h
The current use of "RCU_TRACE(statement);" can cause odd bugs, especially
where "statement" is a local-variable declaration, as it can leave a
misplaced ";" in the source code.  This commit therefore converts these
to "RCU_TRACE(statement;)", which avoids the misplaced ";".

Paul E. McKenney 52d7e48b86 rcu: Narrow early boot window of illegal synchronous grace periods
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.

Lai Jiangshan 5f6130fa52 tiny_rcu: Directly force QS when call_rcu_[bh|sched]() on idle_task
For RCU in UP, context-switch = QS = GP, thus we can force a
context-switch when any call_rcu_[bh|sched]() is happened on idle_task.
After doing so, rcu_idle/irq_enter/exit() are useless, so we can simply
make these functions empty.

More important, this change does not change the functionality logically.
Note: raise_softirq(RCU_SOFTIRQ)/rcu_sched_qs() in rcu_idle_enter() and
outmost rcu_irq_exit() will have to wake up the ksoftirqd
(due to in_interrupt() == 0).

Before this patch		After this patch:
call_rcu_sched() in idle;	call_rcu_sched() in idle
				  set resched
do other stuffs;		do other stuffs
outmost rcu_irq_exit()		outmost rcu_irq_exit() (empty function)
  (or rcu_idle_enter())		  (or rcu_idle_enter(), also empty function)
				start to resched. (see above)
  rcu_sched_qs()		rcu_sched_qs()
    QS,and GP and advance cb	  QS,and GP and advance cb
    wake up the ksoftirqd	    wake up the ksoftirqd
      set resched
resched to ksoftirqd (or other)	resched to ksoftirqd (or other)

These two code patches are almost the same.

Paul Gortmaker 5cb5c6e18f rcu: Ensure kernel/rcu/rcu.h can be sourced/used stand-alone
The kbuild test bot uncovered an implicit dependence on the
trace header being present before rcu.h in ia64 allmodconfig
that looks like this:

In file included from kernel/ksysfs.c:22:0:
kernel/rcu/rcu.h: In function '__rcu_reclaim':
kernel/rcu/rcu.h:107:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'trace_rcu_invoke_kfree_callback' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
kernel/rcu/rcu.h:112:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'trace_rcu_invoke_callback' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
cc1: some warnings being treated as errors

Looking at other rcu.h users, we can find that they all
were sourcing the trace header in advance of rcu.h itself,
as seen in the context of this diff.  There were also some
inconsistencies as to whether it was or wasn't sourced based
on the parent tracing Kconfig.

Rather than "fix" it at each use site, and have inconsistent
use based on whether "#ifdef CONFIG_RCU_TRACE" was used or not,
lets just source the trace header just once, in the actual consumer
of it, which is rcu.h itself.  We include it unconditionally, as
build testing shows us that is a hard requirement for some files.
