idlenocb.2013.03.26b: Remove restrictions on no-CBs CPUs, make
RCU_FAST_NO_HZ take advantage of numbered callbacks, add
callback acceleration based on numbered callbacks.
Now that rcu_start_future_gp() has been abstracted from
rcu_nocb_wait_gp(), rcu_accelerate_cbs() can invoke rcu_start_future_gp()
so as to register the need for any future grace periods needed by a
CPU about to enter dyntick-idle mode. This commit makes this change.
Note that some refactoring of rcu_start_gp() is carried out to avoid
recursion and subsequent self-deadlocks.

CPUs going idle will need to record the need for a future grace
period, but won't actually need to block waiting on it. This commit
therefore splits rcu_start_future_gp(), which does the recording, from
rcu_nocb_wait_gp(), which now invokes rcu_start_future_gp() to do the
recording, after which rcu_nocb_wait_gp() does the waiting.

CPUs going idle need to be able to indicate their need for future grace
periods. A mechanism for doing this already exists for no-callbacks
CPUs, so the idea is to re-use that mechanism. This commit therefore
moves the ->n_nocb_gp_requests field of the rcu_node structure out from
under the CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU #ifdef and renames it to ->need_future_gp.

If CPUs are to give prior notice of needed grace periods, it will be
necessary to invoke rcu_start_gp() without dropping the root rcu_node
structure's ->lock. This commit takes a second step in this direction
by moving the release of this lock to rcu_start_gp()'s callers.

Dyntick-idle CPUs need to be able to pre-announce their need for grace
periods. This can be done using something similar to the mechanism used
by no-CB CPUs to announce their need for grace periods. This commit
moves in this direction by renaming the no-CBs grace-period event tracing
to suit the new future-grace-period needs.

Because RCU callbacks are now associated with the number of the grace
period that they must wait for, CPUs can now take advance callbacks
corresponding to grace periods that ended while a given CPU was in
dyntick-idle mode. This eliminates the need to try forcing the RCU
state machine while entering idle, thus reducing the CPU intensiveness
of RCU_FAST_NO_HZ, which should increase its energy efficiency.

Now that callback acceleration is idempotent, it is safe to accelerate
callbacks during grace-period cleanup on any CPUs that the kthread happens
to be running on. This commit therefore propagates the completion
of the grace period to the per-CPU data structures, and also adds an
rcu_advance_cbs() just before the cpu_needs_another_gp() check in order
to reduce false-positive grace periods.

RCU_FAST_NO_HZ operation is controlled by four compile-time C-preprocessor

Currently, the per-no-CBs-CPU kthreads are named "rcuo" followed by
the CPU number, for example, "rcuo". This is problematic given that
there are either two or three RCU flavors, each of which gets a per-CPU
kthread with exactly the same name. This commit therefore introduces
a one-letter abbreviation for each RCU flavor, namely 'b' for RCU-bh,
'p' for RCU-preempt, and 's' for RCU-sched. This abbreviation is used
to distinguish the "rcuo" kthreads, for example, for CPU 0 we would have
"rcuob/0", "rcuop/0", and "rcuos/0".

Currently, the no-CBs kthreads do repeated timed waits for grace periods
to elapse. This is crude and energy inefficient, so this commit allows
no-CBs kthreads to specify exactly which grace period they are waiting
for and also allows them to block for the entire duration until the
desired grace period completes.

Currently, the only way to specify no-CBs CPUs is via the rcu_nocbs
kernel command-line parameter. This is inconvenient in some cases,
particularly for randconfig testing, so this commit adds a new set of
kernel configuration parameters. CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_NONE (the default)
retains the old behavior, CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ZERO offloads callback
processing from CPU 0 (along with any other CPUs specified by the
rcu_nocbs boot-time parameter), and CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL offloads
callback processing from all CPUs.

In some situations, randomly delaying RCU grace-period initialization

If RCU's softirq handler is prevented from executing, an RCU CPU stall
warning can result. Ways to prevent RCU's softirq handler from executing
include: (1) CPU spinning with interrupts disabled, (2) infinite loop
in some softirq handler, and (3) in -rt kernels, an infinite loop in a
set of real-time threads running at priorities higher than that of RCU's
softirq handler.
Because this situation can be difficult to track down, this commit causes
the count of RCU softirq handler invocations to be printed with RCU
CPU stall warnings. This information does require some interpretation,
as now documented in Documentation/RCU/stallwarn.txt.

Offline CPUs transition through the scheduler to the idle loop one
last time before being shut down. This can result in RCU raising
softirq on this CPU, which is at best useless given that the CPU's
callbacks will be offloaded at CPU_DEAD time. This commit therefore
avoids raising softirq on offline CPUs.

Currently, CPU 0 is constrained to not be a no-CBs CPU, and furthermore
at least one no-CBs CPU must remain online at any given time. These
restrictions are problematic in some situations, such as cases where
all CPUs must run a real-time workload that needs to be insulated from
OS jitter and latencies due to RCU callback invocation. This commit
therefore provides no-CBs CPUs a (very crude and energy-inefficient)
way to start and to wait for grace periods independently of the normal
RCU callback mechanisms. This approach allows any or all of the CPUs to
be designated as no-CBs CPUs, and allows any proper subset of the CPUs
(whether no-CBs CPUs or not) to be offlined.
This commit also provides a fix for a locking bug spotted by Xie
ChanglongX <changlongx.xie@intel.com>.

"Initial ARC Linux port with some fixes on top for 3.9-rc1:
I would like to introduce the Linux port to ARC Processors (from
Synopsys) for 3.9-rc1. The patch-set has been discussed on the public
lists since Nov and has received a fair bit of review, specially from
Arnd, tglx, Al and other subsystem maintainers for DeviceTree, kgdb...
The arch bits are in arch/arc, some asm-generic changes (acked by
Arnd), a minor change to PARISC (acked by Helge).
The series is a touch bigger for a new port for 2 main reasons:
1. It enables a basic kernel in first sub-series and adds
ptrace/kgdb/.. later
2. Some of the fallout of review (DeviceTree support, multi-platform-
image support) were added on top of orig series, primarily to
record the revision history.
This updated pull request additionally contains
- fixes due to our GNU tools catching up with the new syscall/ptrace

Maxime reported that strcpy(s->usage, s->usage+1) has no definitive
guarantee that it will work on all archs the same way when you have
overlapping memory. The fix is simple for the kdb code because we
still have the original string memory in the function scope, so we
just have to use that as the argument instead.

Although invasive kdb commands are not supported via kgdb, some useful
non-invasive commands like bt* require basic kdb state to be setup before
calling into the kdb code. Factor out some of this code and call it before
and after executing kdb commands via kgdb.

When locally adding in some additional kdb commands, I stumbled
across an issue with the dynamic expansion of the kdb command table.
When the number of kdb commands exceeds the size of the statically
allocated kdb_base_commands[] array, additional space is allocated in
the kdb_register_repeat() routine.
The unused portion of the newly allocated array was not being initialized
to zero properly and this would result in segfaults when help '?' was
executed or when a search for a non-existing command would traverse the
command table beyond the end of valid command entries and then attempt
to use the non-zeroed area as actual command entries.

Pull block IO core bits from Jens Axboe:
"Below are the core block IO bits for 3.9. It was delayed a few days
since my workstation kept crashing every 2-8h after pulling it into
current -git, but turns out it is a bug in the new pstate code (divide
by zero, will report separately). In any case, it contains:
- The big cfq/blkcg update from Tejun and and Vivek.
- Additional block and writeback tracepoints from Tejun.
- Improvement of the should sort (based on queues) logic in the plug
flushing.
- _io() variants of the wait_for_completion() interface, using
io_schedule() instead of schedule() to contribute to io wait
properly.
- Various little fixes.
You'll get two trivial merge conflicts, which should be easy enough to
fix up"
Fix up the trivial conflicts due to hlist traversal cleanups (commit
b67bfe0d42: "hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators").

Commit 74eed0163d
"irq: Ensure irq_exit() code runs with interrupts disabled"
restore interrupts flags in the end of irq_exit() for archs
that don't define __ARCH_IRQ_EXIT_IRQS_DISABLED.
However always returning from irq_exit() with interrupts
disabled should not be a problem for these archs. Prior to
this commit this was already happening anytime we processed
pending softirqs anyway.

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived
list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)
The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:
hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)
Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.
Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:
- Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
- Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
- A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
- Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.
The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

Since kcmp syscall has been implemented (initially on x86 architecture) a
number of other archs wire it up as well: xtensa, sparc, sh, s390, mips,
microblaze, m68k (not taking into account those who uses
<asm-generic/unistd.h> for syscall numbers definitions).
But the Makefile, which turns kcmp.o generation on still depends on former
config-x86. Thus get rid of this limitation and make kcmp.o depend on
CHECKPOINT_RESTORE option.
