Accesses to the rcu_data structure's ->dynticks field have always been
fully ordered because it was not possible to prove that weaker ordering
was safe. However, with the removal of the rcu_eqs_special_set() function
and the advent of the Linux-kernel memory model, it is now easy to show
that two of the four original full memory barriers can be weakened to
acquire and release operations. The remaining pair must remain full
memory barriers. This change makes the memory ordering requirements
more evident, and it might well also speed up the to-idle and from-idle
fastpaths on some architectures.
The following litmus test, adapted from one supplied off-list by Frederic
Weisbecker, models the RCU grace-period kthread detecting an idle CPU
that is concurrently transitioning to non-idle:
C dynticks-from-idle
{
DYNTICKS=0; (* Initially idle. *)
}
P0(int *X, int *DYNTICKS)
{
int dynticks;
int x;
// Idle.
dynticks = READ_ONCE(*DYNTICKS);
smp_store_release(DYNTICKS, dynticks + 1);
smp_mb();
// Now non-idle
x = READ_ONCE(*X);
}
P1(int *X, int *DYNTICKS)
{
int dynticks;
WRITE_ONCE(*X, 1);
smp_mb();
dynticks = smp_load_acquire(DYNTICKS);
}
exists (1:dynticks=0 /\ 0:x=1)
Running "herd7 -conf linux-kernel.cfg dynticks-from-idle.litmus" verifies
this transition, namely, showing that if the RCU grace-period kthread (P1)
sees another CPU as idle (P0), then any memory access prior to the start
of the grace period (P1's write to X) will be seen by any RCU read-side
critical section following the to-non-idle transition (P0's read from X).
This is a straightforward use of full memory barriers to force ordering
in a store-buffering (SB) litmus test.
The following litmus test, also adapted from the one supplied off-list
by Frederic Weisbecker, models the RCU grace-period kthread detecting
a non-idle CPU that is concurrently transitioning to idle:
C dynticks-into-idle
{
DYNTICKS=1; (* Initially non-idle. *)
}
P0(int *X, int *DYNTICKS)
{
int dynticks;
// Non-idle.
WRITE_ONCE(*X, 1);
dynticks = READ_ONCE(*DYNTICKS);
smp_store_release(DYNTICKS, dynticks + 1);
smp_mb();
// Now idle.
}
P1(int *X, int *DYNTICKS)
{
int x;
int dynticks;
smp_mb();
dynticks = smp_load_acquire(DYNTICKS);
x = READ_ONCE(*X);
}
exists (1:dynticks=2 /\ 1:x=0)
Running "herd7 -conf linux-kernel.cfg dynticks-into-idle.litmus" verifies
this transition, namely, showing that if the RCU grace-period kthread
(P1) sees another CPU as newly idle (P0), then any pre-idle memory access
(P0's write to X) will be seen by any code following the grace period
(P1's read from X). This is a simple release-acquire pair forcing
ordering in a message-passing (MP) litmus test.
Of course, if the grace-period kthread detects the CPU as non-idle,
it will refrain from reporting a quiescent state on behalf of that CPU,
so there are no ordering requirements from the grace-period kthread in
that case. However, other subsystems call rcu_is_idle_cpu() to check
for CPUs being non-idle from an RCU perspective. That case is also
verified by the above litmus tests with the proviso that the sense of
the low-order bit of the DYNTICKS counter be inverted.
Unfortunately, on x86 smp_mb() is as expensive as a cache-local atomic
increment. This commit therefore weakens only the read from ->dynticks.
However, the updates are abstracted into a rcu_dynticks_inc() function
to ease any future changes that might be needed.

At CPU offline time, we must handle any pending wakeup for the nocb_gp
kthread linked to the outgoing CPU.
Now we are making sure of that twice:
1) From rcu_report_dead() when the outgoing CPU makes the very last
local cleanups by itself before switching offline.
2) From rcutree_dead_cpu(). Here the offlining CPU has gone and is truly
now offline. Another CPU takes care of post-portem cleaning up and
check if the offline CPU had pending wakeup.
Both ways are fine but we have to choose one or the other because we
don't need to repeat that action. Simply benefit from cache locality
and keep only the first solution.

kernel.h is being used as a dump for all kinds of stuff for a long time.
Here is the attempt to start cleaning it up by splitting out panic and
oops helpers.
There are several purposes of doing this:
- dropping dependency in bug.h
- dropping a loop by moving out panic_notifier.h
- unload kernel.h from something which has its own domain
At the same time convert users tree-wide to use new headers, although for
the time being include new header back to kernel.h to avoid twisted
indirected includes for existing users.

Heavy networking load can cause a CPU to execute continuously and
indefinitely within ksoftirqd, in which case there will be no voluntary
task switches and thus no RCU-tasks quiescent states. This commit
therefore causes the exiting rcu_softirq_qs() to provide an RCU-tasks

Tuning the deferred wakeup level must be done from a safe wakeup
point. Currently those sites are:
* ->nocb_timer
* user/idle/guest entry
* CPU down
* softirq/rcuc
All of these sites perform the wake up for both RCU_NOCB_WAKE and
RCU_NOCB_WAKE_FORCE.
In order to merge ->nocb_timer and ->nocb_bypass_timer together, we plan
to add a new RCU_NOCB_WAKE_BYPASS that really should be deferred until
a timer fires so that we don't wake up the NOCB-gp kthread too early.

When any CPU comes online, it checks to see if an RCU-boost kthread has
already been created for that CPU's leaf rcu_node structure, and if
not, it creates one. Unfortunately, it also verifies that this leaf
rcu_node structure actually has at least one online CPU, and if not,
it declines to create the kthread. Although this behavior makes sense
during early boot, especially on systems that claim far more CPUs than
they actually have, it makes no sense for the first CPU to come online
for a given rcu_node structure. There is no point in checking because
we know there is a CPU on its way in.
The problem is that timing differences can cause this incoming CPU to not
yet be reflected in the various bit masks even at rcutree_online_cpu()
time, and there is no chance at rcutree_prepare_cpu() time. Plus it
would be better to create the RCU-boost kthread at rcutree_prepare_cpu()
to handle the case where the CPU is involved in an RCU priority inversion
very shortly after it comes online.
This commit therefore moves the checking to rcu_prepare_kthreads(), which
is called only at early boot, when the check is appropriate. In addition,
it makes rcutree_prepare_cpu() invoke rcu_spawn_one_boost_kthread(), which
no longer does any checking for online CPUs.
With this change, RCU priority boosting tests now pass for short rcutorture
runs, even with single-CPU leaf rcu_node structures.

Currently, rcu_spawn_core_kthreads() is invoked via an early_initcall(),
which works, except that rcu_spawn_gp_kthread() is also invoked via an
early_initcall() and rcu_spawn_core_kthreads() relies on adjustments to
kthread_prio that are carried out by rcu_spawn_gp_kthread(). There is
no guaranttee of ordering among early_initcall() handlers, and thus no
guarantee that kthread_prio will be properly checked and range-limited
at the time that rcu_spawn_core_kthreads() needs it.
In most cases, this bug is harmless. After all, the only reason that
rcu_spawn_gp_kthread() adjusts the value of kthread_prio is if the user
specified a nonsensical value for this boot parameter, which experience
indicates is rare.
Nevertheless, a bug is a bug. This commit therefore causes the
rcu_spawn_core_kthreads() function to be invoked directly from
rcu_spawn_gp_kthread() after any needed adjustments to kthread_prio have
been carried out.

An srcu_struct structure that is initialized before rcu_init_geometry()
will have its srcu_node hierarchy based on CONFIG_NR_CPUS. Once
rcu_init_geometry() is called, this hierarchy is compressed as needed
for the actual maximum number of CPUs for this system.
Later on, that srcu_struct structure is confused, sometimes referring
to its initial CONFIG_NR_CPUS-based hierarchy, and sometimes instead
to the new num_possible_cpus() hierarchy. For example, each of its
->mynode fields continues to reference the original leaf rcu_node
structures, some of which might no longer exist. On the other hand,
srcu_for_each_node_breadth_first() traverses to the new node hierarchy.
There are at least two bad possible outcomes to this:
1) a) A callback enqueued early on an srcu_data structure (call it
*sdp) is recorded pending on sdp->mynode->srcu_data_have_cbs in
srcu_funnel_gp_start() with sdp->mynode pointing to a deep leaf
(say 3 levels).
b) The grace period ends after rcu_init_geometry() shrinks the
nodes level to a single one. srcu_gp_end() walks through the new
srcu_node hierarchy without ever reaching the old leaves so the
callback is never executed.
This is easily reproduced on an 8 CPUs machine with CONFIG_NR_CPUS >= 32
and "rcupdate.rcu_self_test=1". The srcu_barrier() after early tests
verification never completes and the boot hangs:

Once srcu_init() is called, the SRCU core will make use of delayed
workqueues, which rely on timers. However init_timers() is called
several steps after rcu_init(). This means that a call_srcu() after
rcu_init() but before init_timers() would find itself within a dangerously
uninitialized timer core.
This commit therefore creates a separate call to srcu_init() after
init_timer() completes, which ensures that we stay in early SRCU mode

Currently we have three functions which depend on each other.
Two of them are quite tiny and the last one where the most
work is done. All of them are related to queuing RCU batches
to reclaim objects after a GP.
1. kfree_rcu_monitor(). It consist of few lines. It acquires a spin-lock
and calls kfree_rcu_drain_unlock().
2. kfree_rcu_drain_unlock(). It also consists of few lines of code. It
calls queue_kfree_rcu_work() to queue the batch. If this fails,
it rearms the monitor work to try again later.
3. queue_kfree_rcu_work(). This provides the bulk of the functionality,
attempting to start a new batch to free objects after a GP.
Since there are no external users of functions [2] and [3], both
can eliminated by moving all logic directly into [1], which both
shrinks and simplifies the code.
Also replace comments which start with "/*" to "//" format to make it

The kvfree_rcu() function now defers allocations in the common
case due to the fact that there is no lockless access to the
memory-allocator caches/pools. In addition, in CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y
and in CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y kernels, there is no reliable way to
determine if spinlocks are held. As a result, allocation is deferred in
the common case, and the two-argument form of kvfree_rcu() thus uses the
"channel 3" queue through all the rcu_head structures. This channel
is called referred to as the emergency case in comments, and these
comments are now obsolete.
This commit therefore updates these comments to reflect the new

The rcu_scheduler_active flag is set to RCU_SCHEDULER_RUNNING once the
scheduler is up and running. That signal is used in order to check
and queue a "monitor work" to reclaim freed objects (if there are any)
during early boot. This flag is used by kvfree_rcu() to determine when
work can safely be queued, at which point memory passed to earlier
invocations of kvfree_rcu() can be processed.
However, only "krcp->head" is checked for objects that need to be
released, and there are now two more, namely, "krcp->bkvhead[0]" and
"krcp->bkvhead[1]". Therefore, check these two additional channels.

Add a drain_page_cache() function to drain a per-cpu page cache.
The reason behind of it is a system can run into a low memory
condition, in that case a page shrinker can ask for its users
to free their caches in order to get extra memory available for
other needs in a system.
When a system hits such condition, a page cache is drained for
all CPUs in a system. By default a page cache work is delayed
with 5 seconds interval until a memory pressure disappears, if
needed it can be changed. See a rcu_delay_page_cache_fill_msec

might not otherwise happen. Finally, poll_state_synchronize_rcu()
provides a lockless check for a grace period having elapsed since
the corresponding call to either of the get_state_synchronize_rcu()
or start_poll_synchronize_rcu().
As with get_state_synchronize_rcu(), the return value from either
get_state_synchronize_rcu() or start_poll_synchronize_rcu() is passed in
to a later call to either poll_state_synchronize_rcu() or the existing
(might_sleep) cond_synchronize_rcu().

At the start of a CPU-hotplug operation, the incoming CPU's callback
list can be in a number of states:
1. Disabled and empty. This is the case when the boot CPU has
not invoked call_rcu(), when a non-boot CPU first comes online,
and when a non-offloaded CPU comes back online. In this case,
it is both necessary and permissible to initialize ->cblist.
Because either the CPU is currently running with interrupts
disabled (boot CPU) or is not yet running at all (other CPUs),
it is not necessary to acquire ->nocb_lock.
In this case, initialization is required.
2. Disabled and non-empty. This cannot occur, because early boot
call_rcu() invocations enable the callback list before enqueuing
their callback.
3. Enabled, whether empty or not. In this case, the callback
list has already been initialized. This case occurs when the
boot CPU has executed an early boot call_rcu() and also when
an offloaded CPU comes back online. In both cases, there is
no need to initialize the callback list: In the boot-CPU case,
the CPU has not (yet) gone offline, and in the offloaded case,
the rcuo kthreads are taking care of business.
Because it is not necessary to initialize the callback list,
it is also not necessary to acquire ->nocb_lock.
Therefore, checking if the segcblist is enabled suffices. This commit
therefore initializes the callback list at rcutree_prepare_cpu() time
only if that list is disabled.

It makes no sense to de-offload an offline CPU because that CPU will never
invoke any remaining callbacks. It also makes little sense to offload an
offline CPU because any pending RCU callbacks were migrated when that CPU
went offline. Yes, it is in theory possible to use a number of tricks
to permit offloading and deoffloading offline CPUs in certain cases, but
in practice it is far better to have the simple and deterministic rule
"Toggling the offload state of an offline CPU is forbidden".
For but one example, consider that an offloaded offline CPU might have
millions of callbacks queued. Best to just say "no".
This commit therefore forbids toggling of the offloaded state of
offline CPUs.

Provide CONFIG_PROVE_RCU sanity checks to ensure we are always reading
the offloaded state of an rdp in a safe and stable way and prevent from
its value to be changed under us. We must either hold the barrier mutex,
the cpu-hotplug lock (read or write) or the nocb lock.
Local non-preemptible reads are also safe. NOCB kthreads and timers have
their own means of synchronization against the offloaded state updaters.

Because kvfree_rcu() has a fallback path, memory allocation failure is
not the end of the world. Furthermore, the added overhead of aggressive
GFP settings must be balanced against the overhead of the fallback path,
which is a cache miss for double-argument kvfree_rcu() and a call to
synchronize_rcu() for single-argument kvfree_rcu(). The current choice
of GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_NOWARN can result in longer latencies than a call
to synchronize_rcu(), so less-tenacious GFP flags would be helpful.
Here is the tradeoff that must be balanced:
a) Minimize use of the fallback path,
b) Avoid pushing the system into OOM,
c) Bound allocation latency to that of synchronize_rcu(), and
d) Leave the emergency reserves to use cases lacking fallbacks.
This commit therefore changes GFP flags from GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_NOWARN to
GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_NORETRY|__GFP_NOMEMALLOC|__GFP_NOWARN. This combination
leaves the emergency reserves alone and can initiate reclaim, but will
not invoke the OOM killer.

__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL can spend quite a bit of time reclaiming, and this
can be wasted effort given that there is a fallback code path in case
memory allocation fails.
__GFP_NORETRY does perform some light-weight reclaim, but it will fail
under OOM conditions, allowing the fallback to be taken as an alternative
to hard-OOMing the system.
There is a four-way tradeoff that must be balanced:
1) Minimize use of the fallback path;
2) Avoid full-up OOM;
3) Do a light-wait allocation request;
4) Avoid dipping into the emergency reserves.

also reduces scheduling latency because raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore()

Single-argument kvfree_rcu() must be invoked from sleepable contexts,
so we can directly allocate pages. Furthermmore, the fallback in case
of page-allocation failure is the high-latency synchronize_rcu(), so it
makes sense to do these page allocations from the fastpath, and even to
permit limited sleeping within the allocator.
This commit therefore allocates if needed on the fastpath using
GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL. This also has the beneficial effect
of leaving kvfree_rcu()'s per-CPU caches to the double-argument variant
of kvfree_rcu(), given that the double-argument variant cannot directly
invoke the allocator.

The condition in the trace_rcu_grace_period() in rcutree_dying_cpu() is
backwards, so that it uses the string "cpuofl" when the offline CPU is
blocking the current grace period and "cpuofl-bgp" otherwise. Given that
the "-bgp" stands for "blocking grace period", this is at best misleading.
This commit therefore switches these strings in order to correctly trace
whether the outgoing cpu blocks the current grace period.

- Core scheduler updates:
- Add CONFIG_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC: this in its current form adds the
preempt=none/voluntary/full boot options (default: full),
to allow distros to build a PREEMPT kernel but fall back to
close to PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY (or PREEMPT_NONE) runtime scheduling
behavior via a boot time selection.
There's also the /debug/sched_debug switch to do this runtime.
This feature is implemented via runtime patching (a new variant of static calls).
The scope of the runtime patching can be best reviewed by looking
at the sched_dynamic_update() function in kernel/sched/core.c.
( Note that the dynamic none/voluntary mode isn't 100% identical,
for example preempt-RCU is available in all cases, plus the
preempt count is maintained in all models, which has runtime
overhead even with the code patching. )
The PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY/PREEMPT_NONE models, used by the vast majority
of distributions, are supposed to be unaffected.
- Fix ignored rescheduling after rcu_eqs_enter(). This is a bug that
was found via rcutorture triggering a hang. The bug is that
rcu_idle_enter() may wake up a NOCB kthread, but this happens after
the last generic need_resched() check. Some cpuidle drivers fix it
by chance but many others don't.
In true 2020 fashion the original bug fix has grown into a 5-patch
scheduler/RCU fix series plus another 16 RCU patches to address
the underlying issue of missed preemption events. These are the
initial fixes that should fix current incarnations of the bug.
- Clean up rbtree usage in the scheduler, by providing & using the following
consistent set of rbtree APIs:
partial-order; less() based:
- rb_add(): add a new entry to the rbtree
- rb_add_cached(): like rb_add(), but for a rb_root_cached
total-order; cmp() based:
- rb_find(): find an entry in an rbtree
- rb_find_add(): find an entry, and add if not found
- rb_find_first(): find the first (leftmost) matching entry
- rb_next_match(): continue from rb_find_first()
- rb_for_each(): iterate a sub-tree using the previous two
- Improve the SMP/NUMA load-balancer: scan for an idle sibling in a single pass.
This is a 4-commit series where each commit improves one aspect of the idle
sibling scan logic.
- Improve the cpufreq cooling driver by getting the effective CPU utilization
metrics from the scheduler
- Improve the fair scheduler's active load-balancing logic by reducing the number
of active LB attempts & lengthen the load-balancing interval. This improves
stress-ng mmapfork performance.
- Fix CFS's estimated utilization (util_est) calculation bug that can result in
too high utilization values

Entering RCU idle mode may cause a deferred wake up of an RCU NOCB_GP
kthread (rcuog) to be serviced.
Unfortunately the call to rcu_user_enter() is already past the last
rescheduling opportunity before we resume to userspace or to guest mode.
We may escape there with the woken task ignored.
The ultimate resort to fix every callsites is to trigger a self-IPI
(nohz_full depends on arch to implement arch_irq_work_raise()) that will
trigger a reschedule on IRQ tail or guest exit.
Eventually every site that want a saner treatment will need to carefully
place a call to rcu_nocb_flush_deferred_wakeup() before the last explicit
need_resched() check upon resume.

Entering RCU idle mode may cause a deferred wake up of an RCU NOCB_GP
kthread (rcuog) to be serviced.
Usually a local wake up happening while running the idle task is handled
in one of the need_resched() checks carefully placed within the idle
loop that can break to the scheduler.
Unfortunately the call to rcu_idle_enter() is already beyond the last
generic need_resched() check and we may halt the CPU with a resched
request unhandled, leaving the task hanging.
Fix this with splitting the rcuog wakeup handling from rcu_idle_enter()
and place it before the last generic need_resched() check in the idle
loop. It is then assumed that no call to call_rcu() will be performed
after that in the idle loop until the CPU is put in low power mode.

The debug-object double-free checks in __call_rcu() print out the
RCU callback function, which is usually sufficient to track down the
double free. However, all uses of things like queue_rcu_work() will
have the same RCU callback function (rcu_work_rcufn() in this case),
so a diagnostic message for a double queue_rcu_work() needs more than
just the callback function.
This commit therefore calls mem_dump_obj() to dump out any additional
available information on the double-freed callback.

For a new grace period request, the RCU GP kthread transitions through
following states:
a. [RCU_GP_WAIT_GPS] -> [RCU_GP_DONE_GPS]
The RCU_GP_WAIT_GPS state is where the GP kthread waits for a request
for a new GP. Once it receives a request (for example, when a new RCU
callback is queued), the GP kthread transitions to RCU_GP_DONE_GPS.
b. [RCU_GP_DONE_GPS] -> [RCU_GP_ONOFF]
Grace period initialization starts in rcu_gp_init(), which records the
start of new GP in rcu_state.gp_seq and transitions to RCU_GP_ONOFF.
c. [RCU_GP_ONOFF] -> [RCU_GP_INIT]
The purpose of the RCU_GP_ONOFF state is to apply the online/offline
information that was buffered for any CPUs that recently came online or
went offline. This state is maintained in per-leaf rcu_node bitmasks,
with the buffered state in ->qsmaskinitnext and the state for the upcoming
GP in ->qsmaskinit. At the end of this RCU_GP_ONOFF state, each bit in
->qsmaskinit will correspond to a CPU that must pass through a quiescent
state before the upcoming grace period is allowed to complete.
However, a leaf rcu_node structure with an all-zeroes ->qsmaskinit
cannot necessarily be ignored. In preemptible RCU, there might well be
tasks still in RCU read-side critical sections that were first preempted
while running on one of the CPUs managed by this structure. Such tasks
will be queued on this structure's ->blkd_tasks list. Only after this
list fully drains can this leaf rcu_node structure be ignored, and even
then only if none of its CPUs have come back online in the meantime.
Once that happens, the ->qsmaskinit masks further up the tree will be
updated to exclude this leaf rcu_node structure.
Once the ->qsmaskinitnext and ->qsmaskinit fields have been updated
as needed, the GP kthread transitions to RCU_GP_INIT.
d. [RCU_GP_INIT] -> [RCU_GP_WAIT_FQS]
The purpose of the RCU_GP_INIT state is to copy each ->qsmaskinit to
the ->qsmask field within each rcu_node structure. This copying is done
breadth-first from the root to the leaves. Why not just copy directly
from ->qsmaskinitnext to ->qsmask? Because the ->qsmaskinitnext masks
can change in the meantime as additional CPUs come online or go offline.
Such changes would result in inconsistencies in the ->qsmask fields up and
down the tree, which could in turn result in too-short grace periods or
grace-period hangs. These issues are avoided by snapshotting the leaf
rcu_node structures' ->qsmaskinitnext fields into their ->qsmaskinit
counterparts, generating a consistent set of ->qsmaskinit fields
throughout the tree, and only then copying these consistent ->qsmaskinit
fields to their ->qsmask counterparts.
Once this initialization step is complete, the GP kthread transitions
to RCU_GP_WAIT_FQS, where it waits to do a force-quiescent-state scan
on the one hand or for the end of the grace period on the other.
e. [RCU_GP_WAIT_FQS] -> [RCU_GP_DOING_FQS]
The RCU_GP_WAIT_FQS state waits for one of three things: (1) An
explicit request to do a force-quiescent-state scan, (2) The end of
the grace period, or (3) A short interval of time, after which it
will do a force-quiescent-state (FQS) scan. The explicit request can
come from rcutorture or from any CPU that has too many RCU callbacks
queued (see the qhimark kernel parameter and the RCU_GP_FLAG_OVLD
flag). The aforementioned "short period of time" is specified by the
jiffies_till_first_fqs boot parameter for a given grace period's first
FQS scan and by the jiffies_till_next_fqs for later FQS scans.
Either way, once the wait is over, the GP kthread transitions to
RCU_GP_DOING_FQS.
f. [RCU_GP_DOING_FQS] -> [RCU_GP_CLEANUP]
The RCU_GP_DOING_FQS state performs an FQS scan. Each such scan carries
out two functions for any CPU whose bit is still set in its leaf rcu_node
structure's ->qsmask field, that is, for any CPU that has not yet reported
a quiescent state for the current grace period:
i. Report quiescent states on behalf of CPUs that have been observed
to be idle (from an RCU perspective) since the beginning of the
grace period.
ii. If the current grace period is too old, take various actions to
encourage holdout CPUs to pass through quiescent states, including
enlisting the aid of any calls to cond_resched() and might_sleep(),
and even including IPIing the holdout CPUs.
These checks are skipped for any leaf rcu_node structure with a all-zero
->qsmask field, however such structures are subject to RCU priority
boosting if there are tasks on a given structure blocking the current
grace period. The end of the grace period is detected when the root
rcu_node structure's ->qsmask is zero and when there are no longer any
preempted tasks blocking the current grace period. (No, this last check
is not redundant. To see this, consider an rcu_node tree having exactly
one structure that serves as both root and leaf.)
Once the end of the grace period is detected, the GP kthread transitions
to RCU_GP_CLEANUP.
g. [RCU_GP_CLEANUP] -> [RCU_GP_CLEANED]
The RCU_GP_CLEANUP state marks the end of grace period by updating the
rcu_state structure's ->gp_seq field and also all rcu_node structures'
->gp_seq field. As before, the rcu_node tree is traversed in breadth
first order. Once this update is complete, the GP kthread transitions
to the RCU_GP_CLEANED state.
i. [RCU_GP_CLEANED] -> [RCU_GP_INIT]
Once in the RCU_GP_CLEANED state, the GP kthread immediately transitions
into the RCU_GP_INIT state.
j. The role of timers.
If there is at least one idle CPU, and if timers are not firing, the
transition from RCU_GP_DOING_FQS to RCU_GP_CLEANUP will never happen.
Timers can fail to fire for a number of reasons, including issues in
timer configuration, issues in the timer framework, and failure to handle
softirqs (for example, when there is a storm of interrupts). Whatever the
reason, if the timers fail to fire, the GP kthread will never be awakened,
resulting in RCU CPU stall warnings and eventually in OOM.
However, an RCU CPU stall warning has a large number of potential causes,
as documented in Documentation/RCU/stallwarn.rst. This commit therefore
adds analysis to the RCU CPU stall-warning code to emit an additional
message if the cause of the stall is likely to be timer failure.

Because the need to wake a nocb GP kthread ("rcuog") is sometimes
detected when wakeups cannot be done, these wakeups can be deferred.
The wakeups are then carried out by calls to do_nocb_deferred_wakeup()
at various safe points in the code, including RCU's idle hooks. However,
when a CPU goes offline, it invokes arch_cpu_idle_dead() without invoking
any of RCU's idle hooks.
This commit therefore adds a call to do_nocb_deferred_wakeup() in
rcu_report_dead() in order to handle any deferred wakeups that have been
requested by the outgoing CPU.

How the rdp->cblist enabled state is treated at CPU-hotplug time depends
on whether or not that ->cblist is offloaded.
1) Not offloaded: The ->cblist is disabled when the CPU goes down. All
its callbacks are migrated and none can to enqueued until after some
later CPU-hotplug operation brings the CPU back up.
2) Offloaded: The ->cblist is not disabled on CPU down because the CB/GP
kthreads must finish invoking the remaining callbacks. There is thus
no need to re-enable it on CPU up.
Since the ->cblist offloaded state is set in stone at boot, it cannot
change between CPU down and CPU up. So 1) and 2) are symmetrical.
However, given runtime toggling of the offloaded state, there are two
additional asymmetrical scenarios:
3) The ->cblist is not offloaded when the CPU goes down. The ->cblist
is later toggled to offloaded and then the CPU comes back up.
4) The ->cblist is offloaded when the CPU goes down. The ->cblist is
later toggled to no longer be offloaded and then the CPU comes back up.
Scenario 4) is currently handled correctly. The ->cblist remains enabled
on CPU down and gets re-initialized on CPU up. The toggling operation
will wait until ->cblist is empty, so ->cblist will remain empty until
CPU-up time.
The scenario 3) would run into trouble though, as the rdp is disabled
on CPU down and not re-initialized/re-enabled on CPU up. Except that
in this case, ->cblist is guaranteed to be empty because all its
callbacks were migrated away at CPU-down time. And the CPU-up code
already initializes and enables any empty ->cblist structures in order
to handle the possibility of early-boot invocations of call_rcu() in
the case where such invocations don't occur. So all that need be done
is to adjust the locking.

Offloading and de-offloading RCU callback processes must be done
carefully. There must never be a time at which callback processing is
disabled because the task driving the offloading or de-offloading might be
preempted or otherwise stalled at that point in time, which would result
in OOM due to calbacks piling up indefinitely. This implies that there
will be times during which a given CPU's callbacks might be concurrently
invoked by both that CPU's RCU_SOFTIRQ handler (or, equivalently, that
CPU's rcuc kthread) and by that CPU's rcuo kthread.
This situation could fatally confuse both rcu_barrier() and the
CPU-hotplug offlining process, so these must be excluded during any
concurrent-callback-invocation period. In addition, during times of
concurrent callback invocation, changes to ->cblist must be protected
both as needed for RCU_SOFTIRQ and as needed for the rcuo kthread.
This commit therefore defines and documents the states for a state
machine that coordinates offloading and deoffloading.

PREEMPT_RT systems have long used the rcutree.use_softirq kernel
boot parameter to avoid use of RCU_SOFTIRQ handlers, which can disrupt
real-time applications by invoking callbacks during return from interrupts
that arrived while executing time-critical code. This kernel boot
parameter instead runs RCU core processing in an 'rcuc' kthread, thus
allowing the scheduler to do its job of avoiding disrupting time-critical
code.
This commit therefore disables the rcutree.use_softirq kernel boot
parameter on PREEMPT_RT systems, thus forcing such systems to do RCU
core processing in 'rcuc' kthreads. This approach has long been in
use by users of the -rt patchset, and there have been no complaints.
There is therefore no way for the system administrator to override this
choice, at least without modifying and rebuilding the kernel.

The rcu_do_batch() function extracts the ready-to-invoke callbacks
from the rcu_segcblist located in the ->cblist field of the current
CPU's rcu_data structure. These callbacks are first moved to a local
(unsegmented) rcu_cblist. The rcu_do_batch() function then uses this
rcu_cblist's ->len field to count how many CBs it has invoked, but it
does so by counting that field down from zero. Finally, this function
negates the value in this ->len field (resulting in a positive number)
and subtracts the result from the ->len field of the current CPU's
->cblist field.
Except that it is sometimes necessary for rcu_do_batch() to stop invoking
callbacks mid-stream, despite there being more ready to invoke, for
example, if a high-priority task wakes up. In this case the remaining
not-yet-invoked callbacks are requeued back onto the CPU's ->cblist,
but remain in the ready-to-invoke segment of that list. As above, the
negative of the local rcu_cblist's ->len field is still subtracted from
the ->len field of the current CPU's ->cblist field.
The design of counting down from 0 is confusing and error-prone, plus
use of a positive count will make it easier to provide a uniform and
consistent API to deal with the per-segment counts that are added
later in this series. For example, rcu_segcblist_extract_done_cbs()
can unconditionally populate the resulting unsegmented list's ->len
field during extraction.
This commit therefore explicitly counts how many callbacks were executed
in rcu_do_batch() itself, counting up from zero, and then uses that
to update the per-CPU segcb list's ->len field, without relying on the
downcounting of rcl->len from zero.

The current memmory-allocation interface causes the following difficulties
for kvfree_rcu():
a) If built with CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING, the lockdep will
complain about violation of the nesting rules, as in "BUG: Invalid
wait context". This Kconfig option checks for proper raw_spinlock
vs. spinlock nesting, in particular, it is not legal to acquire a
spinlock_t while holding a raw_spinlock_t.
This is a problem because kfree_rcu() uses raw_spinlock_t whereas the
"page allocator" internally deals with spinlock_t to access to its
zones. The code also can be broken from higher level of view:
<snip>
raw_spin_lock(&some_lock);
kfree_rcu(some_pointer, some_field_offset);
<snip>
b) If built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT, spinlock_t is converted into
sleeplock. This means that invoking the page allocator from atomic
contexts results in "BUG: scheduling while atomic".
c) Please note that call_rcu() is already invoked from raw atomic context,
so it is only reasonable to expaect that kfree_rcu() and kvfree_rcu()
will also be called from atomic raw context.
This commit therefore defers page allocation to a clean context using the
combination of an hrtimer and a workqueue. The hrtimer stage is required
in order to avoid deadlocks with the scheduler. This deferred allocation
is required only when kvfree_rcu()'s per-CPU page cache is empty.

The rcu_cpu_starting() and rcu_report_dead() functions transition the
current CPU between online and offline state from an RCU perspective.
Unfortunately, this means that the rcu_cpu_starting() function's lock
acquisition and the rcu_report_dead() function's lock releases happen
while the CPU is offline from an RCU perspective, which can result
in lockdep-RCU splats about using RCU from an offline CPU. And this
situation can also result in too-short grace periods, especially in
guest OSes that are subject to vCPU preemption.
This commit therefore uses sequence-count-like synchronization to forgive
use of RCU while RCU thinks a CPU is offline across the full extent of
the rcu_cpu_starting() and rcu_report_dead() function's lock acquisitions
and releases.
One approach would have been to use the actual sequence-count primitives
provided by the Linux kernel. Unfortunately, the resulting code looks
completely broken and wrong, and is likely to result in patches that
break RCU in an attempt to address this appearance of broken wrongness.
Plus there is no net savings in lines of code, given the additional
explicit memory barriers required.
Therefore, this sequence count is instead implemented by a new ->ofl_seq
field in the rcu_node structure. If this counter's value is an odd
number, RCU forgives RCU read-side critical sections on other CPUs covered
by the same rcu_node structure, even if those CPUs are offline from
an RCU perspective. In addition, if a given leaf rcu_node structure's
->ofl_seq counter value is an odd number, rcu_gp_init() delays starting
the grace period until that counter value changes.

Testing showed that rcu_pending() can return 1 when offloaded callbacks
are ready to execute. This invokes RCU core processing, for example,
by raising RCU_SOFTIRQ, eventually resulting in a call to rcu_core().
However, rcu_core() explicitly avoids in any way manipulating offloaded
callbacks, which are instead handled by the rcuog and rcuoc kthreads,
which work independently of rcu_core().
One exception to this independence is that rcu_core() invokes
do_nocb_deferred_wakeup(), however, rcu_pending() also checks
rcu_nocb_need_deferred_wakeup() in order to correctly handle this case,
invoking rcu_core() when needed.
This commit therefore avoids needlessly invoking RCU core processing
by checking rcu_segcblist_ready_cbs() only on non-offloaded CPUs.
This reduces overhead, for example, by reducing softirq activity.
This change passed 30 minute tests of TREE01 through TREE09 each.
On TREE08, there is at most 150us from the time that rcu_pending() chose
not to invoke RCU core processing to the time when the ready callbacks
were invoked by the rcuoc kthread. This provides further evidence that
there is no need to invoke rcu_core() for offloaded callbacks that are
ready to invoke.

Currently, rcu_cpu_starting() checks to see if the RCU core expects a
quiescent state from the incoming CPU. However, the current interaction
between RCU quiescent-state reporting and CPU-hotplug operations should
mean that the incoming CPU never needs to report a quiescent state.
First, the outgoing CPU reports a quiescent state if needed. Second,
the race where the CPU is leaving just as RCU is initializing a new
grace period is handled by an explicit check for this condition. Third,
the CPU's leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock serializes these checks.
This means that if rcu_cpu_starting() ever feels the need to report
a quiescent state, then there is a bug somewhere in the CPU hotplug
code or the RCU grace-period handling code. This commit therefore
adds a WARN_ON_ONCE() to bring that bug to everyone's attention.

Currently, for CONFIG_PREEMPTION=n kernels, rcu_blocking_is_gp() uses
num_online_cpus() to determine whether there is only one CPU online. When
there is only a single CPU online, the simple fact that synchronize_rcu()
could be legally called implies that a full grace period has elapsed.
Therefore, in the single-CPU case, synchronize_rcu() simply returns
immediately. Unfortunately, num_online_cpus() is unreliable while a
CPU-hotplug operation is transitioning to or from single-CPU operation
because:
1. num_online_cpus() uses atomic_read(&__num_online_cpus) to
locklessly sample the number of online CPUs. The hotplug locks
are not held, which means that an incoming CPU can concurrently
update this count. This in turn means that an RCU read-side
critical section on the incoming CPU might observe updates
prior to the grace period, but also that this critical section
might extend beyond the end of the optimized synchronize_rcu().
This breaks RCU's fundamental guarantee.
2. In addition, num_online_cpus() does no ordering, thus providing
another way that RCU's fundamental guarantee can be broken by
the current code.
3. The most probable failure mode happens on outgoing CPUs.
The outgoing CPU updates the count of online CPUs in the
CPUHP_TEARDOWN_CPU stop-machine handler, which is fine in
and of itself due to preemption being disabled at the call
to num_online_cpus(). Unfortunately, after that stop-machine
handler returns, the CPU takes one last trip through the
scheduler (which has RCU readers) and, after the resulting
context switch, one final dive into the idle loop. During this
time, RCU needs to keep track of two CPUs, but num_online_cpus()
will say that there is only one, which in turn means that the
surviving CPU will incorrectly ignore the outgoing CPU's RCU
read-side critical sections.
This problem is illustrated by the following litmus test in which P0()
corresponds to synchronize_rcu() and P1() corresponds to the incoming CPU.
The herd7 tool confirms that the "exists" clause can be satisfied,
thus demonstrating that this breakage can happen according to the Linux
kernel memory model.
{
int x = 0;
atomic_t numonline = ATOMIC_INIT(1);
}
P0(int *x, atomic_t *numonline)
{
int r0;
WRITE_ONCE(*x, 1);
r0 = atomic_read(numonline);
if (r0 == 1) {
smp_mb();
} else {
synchronize_rcu();
}
WRITE_ONCE(*x, 2);
}
P1(int *x, atomic_t *numonline)
{
int r0; int r1;
atomic_inc(numonline);
smp_mb();
rcu_read_lock();
r0 = READ_ONCE(*x);
smp_rmb();
r1 = READ_ONCE(*x);
rcu_read_unlock();
}
locations [x;numonline;]
exists (1:r0=0 /\ 1:r1=2)
It is important to note that these problems arise only when the system
is transitioning to or from single-CPU operation.
One solution would be to hold the CPU-hotplug locks while sampling
num_online_cpus(), which was in fact the intent of the (redundant)
preempt_disable() and preempt_enable() surrounding this call to
num_online_cpus(). Actually blocking CPU hotplug would not only result
in excessive overhead, but would also unnecessarily impede CPU-hotplug
operations.
This commit therefore follows long-standing RCU tradition by maintaining
a separate RCU-specific set of CPU-hotplug books.
This separate set of books is implemented by a new ->n_online_cpus field
in the rcu_state structure that maintains RCU's count of the online CPUs.
This count is incremented early in the CPU-online process, so that
the critical transition away from single-CPU operation will occur when
there is only a single CPU. Similarly for the critical transition to
single-CPU operation, the counter is decremented late in the CPU-offline
process, again while there is only a single CPU. Because there is only
ever a single CPU when the ->n_online_cpus field undergoes the critical
1->2 and 2->1 transitions, full memory ordering and mutual exclusion is
provided implicitly and, better yet, for free.
In the case where the CPU is coming online, nothing will happen until
the current CPU helps it come online. Therefore, the new CPU will see
all accesses prior to the optimized grace period, which means that RCU
does not need to further delay this new CPU. In the case where the CPU
is going offline, the outgoing CPU is totally out of the picture before
the optimized grace period starts, which means that this outgoing CPU
cannot see any of the accesses following that grace period. Again,
RCU needs no further interaction with the outgoing CPU.
This does mean that synchronize_rcu() will unnecessarily do a few grace
periods the hard way just before the second CPU comes online and just
after the second-to-last CPU goes offline, but it is not worth optimizing
this uncommon case.

hitting a WARN in RCU through irqentry_enter() ->
__rcu_irq_enter_check_tick().
However, this situation is perfectly sane and does not warrant an
WARN. The #PF will (necessarily) be atomic and not require messing
with the tick state, so early return is correct. This commit

The CONFIG_PREEMPT=n instance of rcu_read_unlock is even more
aggressively than that of CONFIG_PREEMPT=y in deferring reporting

checks for exceptional conditions, and reports the newly started
quiescent state if it is safe to do so, also doing a spin-delay if
requested via rcutree.rcu_unlock_delay. This commit also adds a call

RCU_SOFTIRQ. This leisurly approach improves efficiency by increasing
the number of update requests served by each grace period, but is not
what is needed for kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y.
This commit therefore adds a new rcu_strict_gp_check_qs() function
which, in CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y kernels, simply enters and
immediately exist an RCU read-side critical section. If the CPU is
in a quiescent state, the rcu_read_unlock() will attempt to report an
immediate quiescent state. This rcu_strict_gp_check_qs() function is
invoked from note_gp_changes(), so that a CPU just noticing a new grace
period might immediately report a quiescent state for that grace period.

The value of DEFAULT_RCU_BLIMIT is normally set to 10, the idea being to
avoid needless response-time degradation due to RCU callback invocation.
However, when CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y it is better to avoid
throttling callback execution in order to better detect pointer
leaks from RCU read-side critical sections. This commit therefore
sets the value of DEFAULT_RCU_BLIMIT to 1000 in kernels built with
CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y.

If there are idle CPUs, RCU's grace-period kthread will wait several
jiffies before even thinking about polling them. This promotes
efficiency, which is normally a good thing, but when the kernel
has been built with CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y, we care more
about short grace periods. This commit therefore restricts the
default jiffies_till_first_fqs value to zero in kernels built with
CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y, which causes RCU's grace-period kthread
to poll for idle CPUs immediately after starting a grace period.

The RCU grace-period kthread's force-quiescent state (FQS) loop should
never see an offline CPU that has not yet reported a quiescent state.
After all, the offline CPU should have reported a quiescent state
during the CPU-offline process, or, failing that, by rcu_gp_init()
if it ran concurrently with either the CPU going offline or the last
task on a leaf rcu_node structure exiting its RCU read-side critical
section while all CPUs corresponding to that structure are offline.
The FQS loop should therefore complain if it does see an offline CPU
that has not yet reported a quiescent state.
And it does, but only once the grace period has been in force for a
full second. This commit therefore makes this warning more aggressive,
so that it will trigger as soon as the condition makes its appearance.
Light testing with TREE03 and hotplug shows no warnings. This commit
also converts the warning to WARN_ON_ONCE() in order to stave off possible

Originally, the call to rcu_preempt_blocked_readers_cgp() from
force_qs_rnp() had to be conditioned on CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y, as in
commit a77da14ce9 ("rcu: Yet another fix for preemption and CPU
hotplug"). However, there is now a CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=n definition of
rcu_preempt_blocked_readers_cgp() that unconditionally returns zero, so
invoking it is now safe. In addition, the CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=n definition
of rcu_initiate_boost() simply releases the rcu_node structure's ->lock,
which is what happens when the "if" condition evaluates to false.
This commit therefore drops the IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU) check,
so that rcu_initiate_boost() is called only in CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y
kernels when there are readers blocking the current grace period.
This does not change the behavior, but reduces code-reader confusion by
eliminating non-CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y calls to rcu_initiate_boost().

Update the kvfree_call_rcu() function with head-less support.
This allows RCU to reclaim objects without an embedded rcu_head.
tree-RCU:
We introduce two chains of arrays to store SLAB-backed and vmalloc
pointers, each. Storage in either of these arrays does not require
embedding an rcu_head within the object.
Maintaining the arrays may become impossible due to high memory
pressure. For such cases there is an emergency path. Objects with
rcu_head inside are just queued on a backup rcu_head list. Later on
that list is drained. As for the head-less variant, as the current
context can sleep, the following emergency measures are applied:
a) Synchronously wait until a grace period has elapsed.
b) Call kvfree().
tiny-RCU:
For double argument calls, there are no new changes in behavior. For
single argument call, kvfree() is directly inlined on the current
stack after a synchronize_rcu() call. Note that for tiny-RCU, any
call to synchronize_rcu() is actually a quiescent state, therefore
it does nothing.

2. Rename __is_kfree_rcu_offset to __is_kvfree_rcu_offset. All RCU
paths use kvfree() now instead of kfree(), thus rename it.
3. Rename kfree_call_rcu() to the kvfree_call_rcu(). The reason is,
it is capable of freeing vmalloc() memory now. Do the same with

To do so, we use an array of kvfree_rcu_bulk_data structures.
It consists of two elements:
- index number 0 corresponds to slab pointers.
- index number 1 corresponds to vmalloc pointers.
Keeping vmalloc pointers separated from slab pointers makes
it possible to invoke the right freeing API for the right
kind of pointer.
It also prepares us for future headless support for vmalloc

In order to reduce the dynamic need for pages in kfree_rcu(),
pre-allocate a configurable number of pages per CPU and link
them in a list. When kfree_rcu() reclaims objects, the object's
container page is cached into a list instead of being released
to the low-level page allocator.
Such an approach provides O(1) access to free pages while also
reducing the number of requests to the page allocator. It also
makes the kfree_rcu() code to have free pages available during
a low memory condition.
A read-only sysfs parameter (rcu_min_cached_objs) reflects the
minimum number of allowed cached pages per CPU.

The per-CPU variable is initialized at runtime in
kfree_rcu_batch_init(). This function is invoked before
'rcu_scheduler_active' is set to 'RCU_SCHEDULER_RUNNING'.
After the initialisation, '->initialized' is to true.
The raw_spin_lock is only acquired if '->initialized' is
set to true. The worqueue item is only used if 'rcu_scheduler_active'
set to RCU_SCHEDULER_RUNNING which happens after initialisation.
Use a static initializer for krc.lock and remove the runtime
initialisation of the lock. Since the lock can now be always
acquired, remove the '->initialized' check.

To keep the kfree_rcu() code working in purely atomic sections on RT,
such as non-threaded IRQ handlers and raw spinlock sections, avoid
calling into the page allocator which uses sleeping locks on RT.
In fact, even if the caller is preemptible, the kfree_rcu() code is
not, as the krcp->lock is a raw spinlock.
Calling into the page allocator is optional and avoiding it should be
Ok, especially with the page pre-allocation support in future patches.
Such pre-allocation would further avoid the a need for a dynamically
allocated page in the first place.

There will likely be exception handlers that can sleep, which rules
out the usual approach of invoking rcu_nmi_enter() on entry and also
rcu_nmi_exit() on all exit paths. However, the alternative approach of
just not calling anything can prevent RCU from coaxing quiescent states
from nohz_full CPUs that are looping in the kernel: RCU must instead
IPI them explicitly. It would be better to enable the scheduler tick
on such CPUs to interact with RCU in a lighter-weight manner, and this
enabling is one of the things that rcu_nmi_enter() currently does.
What is needed is something that helps RCU coax quiescent states while
not preventing subsequent sleeps. This commit therefore splits out the
nohz_full scheduler-tick enabling from the rest of the rcu_nmi_enter()
logic into a new function named rcu_irq_enter_check_tick().

Interrupts and exceptions invoke rcu_irq_enter() on entry and need to
invoke rcu_irq_exit() before they either return to the interrupted code or
invoke the scheduler due to preemption.
The general assumption is that RCU idle code has to have preemption
disabled so that a return from interrupt cannot schedule. So the return
from interrupt code invokes rcu_irq_exit() and preempt_schedule_irq().
If there is any imbalance in the rcu_irq/nmi* invocations or RCU idle code
had preemption enabled then this goes unnoticed until the CPU goes idle or
some other RCU check is executed.
Provide rcu_irq_exit_preempt() which can be invoked from the
interrupt/exception return code in case that preemption is enabled. It
invokes rcu_irq_exit() and contains a few sanity checks in case that
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU is enabled to catch such issues directly.

The rcu_nmi_enter_common() and rcu_nmi_exit_common() functions take an
"irq" parameter that indicates whether these functions have been invoked from
an irq handler (irq==true) or an NMI handler (irq==false).
However, recent changes have applied notrace to a few critical functions
such that rcu_nmi_enter_common() and rcu_nmi_exit_common() many now rely on
in_nmi(). Note that in_nmi() works no differently than before, but rather
that tracing is now prohibited in code regions where in_nmi() would
incorrectly report NMI state.
Therefore remove the "irq" parameter and inline rcu_nmi_enter_common() and
rcu_nmi_exit_common() into rcu_nmi_enter() and rcu_nmi_exit(),
respectively.

Systems running CPU-bound real-time task do not want IPIs sent to CPUs
executing nohz_full userspace tasks. Battery-powered systems don't
want IPIs sent to idle CPUs in low-power mode. Unfortunately, RCU tasks
trace can and will send such IPIs in some cases.
Both of these situations occur only when the target CPU is in RCU
dyntick-idle mode, in other words, when RCU is not watching the
target CPU. This suggests that CPUs in dyntick-idle mode should use
memory barriers in outermost invocations of rcu_read_lock_trace()
and rcu_read_unlock_trace(), which would allow the RCU tasks trace
grace period to directly read out the target CPU's read-side state.
One challenge is that RCU tasks trace is not targeting a specific
CPU, but rather a task. And that task could switch from one CPU to
another at any time.
This commit therefore uses try_invoke_on_locked_down_task()
and checks for task_curr() in trc_inspect_reader_notrunning().
When this condition holds, the target task is running and cannot move.
If CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB=y, the new rcu_dynticks_zero_in_eqs()
function can be used to check if the specified integer (in this case,
t->trc_reader_nesting) is zero while the target CPU remains in that same
dyntick-idle sojourn. If so, the target task is in a quiescent state.
If not, trc_read_check_handler() must indicate failure so that the
grace-period kthread can take appropriate action or retry after an
appropriate delay, as the case may be.
With this change, given CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB=y, if a given
CPU remains idle or a given task continues executing in nohz_full mode,
the RCU tasks trace grace-period kthread will detect this without the
need to send an IPI.

To reduce grace periods and improve kfree() performance, we have done
batching recently dramatically bringing down the number of grace periods
while giving us the ability to use kfree_bulk() for efficient kfree'ing.
However, this has increased the likelihood of OOM condition under heavy
kfree_rcu() flood on small memory systems. This patch introduces a
shrinker which starts grace periods right away if the system is under
memory pressure due to existence of objects that have still not started
a grace period.
With this patch, I do not observe an OOM anymore on a system with 512MB
RAM and 8 CPUs, with the following rcuperf options:
rcuperf.kfree_loops=20000 rcuperf.kfree_alloc_num=8000
rcuperf.kfree_rcu_test=1 rcuperf.kfree_mult=2
Otherwise it easily OOMs with the above parameters.
NOTE:
1. On systems with no memory pressure, the patch has no effect as intended.
2. In the future, we can use this same mechanism to prevent grace periods
from happening even more, by relying on shrinkers carefully.

The rcu_nmi_enter_common() function can be invoked both in interrupt
and NMI handlers. If it is invoked from process context (as opposed
to userspace or idle context) on a nohz_full CPU, it might acquire the
CPU's leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock. Because this lock is held only
with interrupts disabled, this is safe from an interrupt handler, but
doing so from an NMI handler can result in self-deadlock.
This commit therefore adds "irq" to the "if" condition so as to only
acquire the ->lock from irq handlers or process context, never from

Currently, rcu_barrier() ignores offline CPUs, However, it is possible
for an offline no-CBs CPU to have callbacks queued, and rcu_barrier()
must wait for those callbacks. This commit therefore makes rcu_barrier()
directly invoke the rcu_barrier_func() with interrupts disabled for such
CPUs. This requires passing the CPU number into this function so that
it can entrain the rcu_barrier() callback onto the correct CPU's callback
list, given that the code must instead execute on the current CPU.
While in the area, this commit fixes a bug where the first CPU's callback
might have been invoked before rcu_segcblist_entrain() returned, which
would also result in an early wakeup.

In default configutions, RCU currently waits at least 100 milliseconds
before asking cond_resched() and/or resched_rcu() for help seeking
quiescent states to end a grace period. But 100 milliseconds can be
one good long time during an RCU callback flood, for example, as can
happen when user processes repeatedly open and close files in a tight
loop. These 100-millisecond gaps in successive grace periods during a
callback flood can result in excessive numbers of callbacks piling up,
unnecessarily increasing memory footprint.
This commit therefore asks cond_resched() and/or resched_rcu() for help
as early as the first FQS scan when at least one of the CPUs has more
than 20,000 callbacks queued, a number that can be changed using the new
rcutree.qovld kernel boot parameter. An auxiliary qovld_calc variable
is used to avoid acquisition of locks that have not yet been initialized.
Early tests indicate that this reduces the RCU-callback memory footprint
during rcutorture floods by from 50% to 4x, depending on configuration.

The rcu_data structure's ->core_needs_qs field does not necessarily get
cleared in a timely fashion after the corresponding CPUs' quiescent state
has been reported. From a functional viewpoint, no harm done, but this
can result in excessive invocation of RCU core processing, as witnessed
by the kernel test robot, which saw greatly increased softirq overhead.
This commit therefore restores the rcu_report_qs_rdp() function's
clearing of this field, but only when running on the corresponding CPU.
Cases where some other CPU reports the quiescent state (for example, on
behalf of an idle CPU) are handled by setting this field appropriately
within the __note_gp_changes() function's end-of-grace-period checks.
This handling is carried out regardless of whether the end of a grace
period actually happened, thus handling the case where a CPU goes non-idle
after a quiescent state is reported on its behalf, but before the grace
period ends. This fix also avoids cross-CPU updates to ->core_needs_qs,
While in the area, this commit changes the __note_gp_changes() need_gp
variable's name to need_qs because it is a quiescent state that is needed
from the CPU in question.

The kfree_rcu() logic can be improved further by using kfree_bulk()
interface along with "basic batching support" introduced earlier.
The are at least two advantages of using "bulk" interface:
- in case of large number of kfree_rcu() requests kfree_bulk()
reduces the per-object overhead caused by calling kfree()
per-object.
- reduces the number of cache-misses due to "pointer chasing"
between objects which can be far spread between each other.
This approach defines a new kfree_rcu_bulk_data structure that
stores pointers in an array with a specific size. Number of entries
in that array depends on PAGE_SIZE making kfree_rcu_bulk_data
structure to be exactly one page.
Since it deals with "block-chain" technique there is an extra
need in dynamic allocation when a new block is required. Memory
is allocated with GFP_NOWAIT | __GFP_NOWARN flags, i.e. that
allows to skip direct reclaim under low memory condition to
prevent stalling and fails silently under high memory pressure.
The "emergency path" gets maintained when a system is run out of
memory. In that case objects are linked into regular list.
The "rcuperf" was run to analyze this change in terms of memory
consumption and kfree_bulk() throughput.

Currently rcu_check_gp_start_stall() complains if a grace period takes

[ paulmck: Simplify grace-period wakeup check per Steve Rostedt feedback. ]
The rcu_barrier_callback() function does an atomic_dec_and_test(), and
if it is the last CPU to check in, does the required wakeup. Either way,
it does an event trace. Unfortunately, this is susceptible to the
following sequence of events:
o CPU 0 invokes rcu_barrier_callback(), but atomic_dec_and_test()
says that it is not last. But at this point, CPU 0 is delayed,
perhaps due to an NMI, SMI, or vCPU preemption.
o CPU 1 invokes rcu_barrier_callback(), and atomic_dec_and_test()
says that it is last. So CPU 1 traces completion and does
the needed wakeup.
o The awakened rcu_barrier() function does cleanup and releases
rcu_state.barrier_mutex.
o Another CPU now acquires rcu_state.barrier_mutex and starts
another round of rcu_barrier() processing, including updating
rcu_state.barrier_sequence.
o CPU 0 gets its act back together and does its tracing. Except
that rcu_state.barrier_sequence has already been updated, so
its tracing is incorrect and probably quite confusing.
(Wait! Why did this CPU check in twice for one rcu_barrier()
invocation???)
This commit therefore causes rcu_barrier_callback() to take a
snapshot of the value of rcu_state.barrier_sequence before invoking
atomic_dec_and_test(), thus guaranteeing that the event-trace output
is sensible, even if the timing of the event-trace output might still
be confusing. (Wait! Why did the old rcu_barrier() complete before
all of its CPUs checked in???) But being that this is RCU, only so much
confusion can reasonably be eliminated.
This data race was reported by KCSAN. Not appropriate for backporting

failure, namely a confusing event trace.

Currently, force_qs_rnp() uses a for_each_leaf_node_possible_cpu()
loop containing a check of the current CPU's bit in ->qsmask.
This works, but this commit saves three lines by instead using
for_each_leaf_node_cpu_mask(), which combines the functionality of
for_each_leaf_node_possible_cpu() and leaf_node_cpu_bit(). This commit
also replaces the use of the local variable "bit" with rdp->grpmask.

Only tree_stall.h needs to get name from GP state, so this commit
moves the gp_state_names[] array and the gp_state_getname()
from kernel/rcu/tree.h and kernel/rcu/tree.c, respectively, to
kernel/rcu/tree_stall.h. While moving gp_state_names[], this commit
uses the GCC syntax to ensure that the right string is associated with

In the call to trace_rcu_utilization() at the start of the loop in
rcu_cpu_kthread(), "rcu_wait" is incorrect, plus this trace event needs
to be hoisted above the loop to balance with either the "rcu_wait" or
"rcu_yield", depending on how the loop exits. This commit therefore
makes these changes.

In the current code, rcu_nmi_enter_common() might decide to turn on
the tick using tick_dep_set_cpu(), but be delayed just before doing so.
Then the grace-period kthread might notice that the CPU in question had
in fact gone through a quiescent state, thus turning off the tick using
tick_dep_clear_cpu(). The later invocation of tick_dep_set_cpu() would
then incorrectly leave the tick on.
This commit therefore enlists the aid of the leaf rcu_node structure's
->lock to ensure that decisions to enable or disable the tick are
carried out before they can be reversed.

During testing, it was observed that amount of memory consumed due
kfree_rcu() batching is 300-400MB. Previously we had only a single
head_free pointer pointing to the list of rcu_head(s) that are to be
freed after a grace period. Until this list is drained, we cannot queue
any more objects on it since such objects may not be ready to be
reclaimed when the worker thread eventually gets to drainin g the
head_free list.
We can do better by maintaining multiple lists as done by this patch.
Testing shows that memory consumption came down by around 100-150MB with
just adding another list. Adding more than 1 additional list did not
show any improvement.

Recently a discussion about stability and performance of a system
involving a high rate of kfree_rcu() calls surfaced on the list [1]
which led to another discussion how to prepare for this situation.
This patch adds basic batching support for kfree_rcu(). It is "basic"
because we do none of the slab management, dynamic allocation, code
moving or any of the other things, some of which previous attempts did
[2]. These fancier improvements can be follow-up patches and there are
different ideas being discussed in those regards. This is an effort to
start simple, and build up from there. In the future, an extension to
use kfree_bulk and possibly per-slab batching could be done to further
improve performance due to cache-locality and slab-specific bulk free
optimizations. By using an array of pointers, the worker thread
processing the work would need to read lesser data since it does not
need to deal with large rcu_head(s) any longer.
Torture tests follow in the next patch and show improvements of around
5x reduction in number of grace periods on a 16 CPU system. More
details and test data are in that patch.
There is an implication with rcu_barrier() with this patch. Since the
kfree_rcu() calls can be batched, and may not be handed yet to the RCU
machinery in fact, the monitor may not have even run yet to do the
queue_rcu_work(), there seems no easy way of implementing rcu_barrier()
to wait for those kfree_rcu()s that are already made. So this means a
kfree_rcu() followed by an rcu_barrier() does not imply that memory will
be freed once rcu_barrier() returns.
Another implication is higher active memory usage (although not
run-away..) until the kfree_rcu() flooding ends, in comparison to
without batching. More details about this are in the second patch which
adds an rcuperf test.
Finally, in the near future we will get rid of kfree_rcu() special casing
within RCU such as in rcu_do_batch and switch everything to just
batching. Currently we don't do that since timer subsystem is not yet up
and we cannot schedule the kfree_rcu() monitor as the timer subsystem's
lock are not initialized. That would also mean getting rid of
kfree_call_rcu_nobatch() entirely.

The RCU-specific resched_cpu() function sends a resched IPI to the
specified CPU, which can be used to force the tick on for a given
nohz_full CPU. This is needed when this nohz_full CPU is looping in the
kernel while blocking the current grace period. However, for the tick
to actually be forced on in all cases, that CPU's rcu_data structure's
->rcu_urgent_qs flag must be set beforehand. This commit therefore
causes rcu_implicit_dynticks_qs() to set this flag prior to invoking
resched_cpu() on a holdout nohz_full CPU.

If a nohz_full CPU is idle or executing in userspace, it makes good sense
to keep it out of RCU core processing. After all, the RCU grace-period
kthread can see its quiescent states and all of its callbacks are
offloaded, so there is nothing for RCU core processing to do.
However, if a nohz_full CPU is executing in kernel space, the RCU
grace-period kthread cannot do anything for it, so such a CPU must report
its own quiescent states. This commit therefore makes nohz_full CPUs
skip RCU core processing only if the scheduler-clock interrupt caught
them in idle or in userspace.

Commit 671a63517c ("rcu: Avoid unnecessary softirq when system
is idle") fixed a bug that could result in an indefinite number of
unnecessary invocations of the RCU_SOFTIRQ handler at the trailing edge
of a scheduler-clock interrupt. However, the fix introduced off-CPU
stores to ->core_needs_qs. These writes did not conflict with the
on-CPU stores because the CPU's leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock was
held across all such stores. However, the loads from ->core_needs_qs
were not promoted to READ_ONCE() and, worse yet, the code loading from
->core_needs_qs was written assuming that it was only ever updated by
the corresponding CPU. So operation has been robust, but only by luck.
This situation is therefore an accident waiting to happen.
This commit therefore takes a different approach. Instead of clearing
->core_needs_qs from the grace-period kthread's force-quiescent-state
processing, it modifies the rcu_pending() function to suppress the
rcu_sched_clock_irq() function's call to invoke_rcu_core() if there is no
grace period in progress. This avoids the infinite needless RCU_SOFTIRQ
handlers while still keeping all accesses to ->core_needs_qs local to
the corresponding CPU.

In some cases, tracing shows that need_heavy_qs is still set even though
urgent_qs was cleared upon reporting of a quiescent state. One such
case is when the softirq reports that a CPU has passed quiescent state.
Commit 671a63517c ("rcu: Avoid unnecessary softirq when system is
idle") fixed a bug where core_needs_qs was not being cleared. In order
to avoid running into similar situations with the urgent-grace-period
flags, this commit causes rcu_disable_urgency_upon_qs(), previously
rcu_disable_tick_upon_qs(), to clear the urgency hints, ->rcu_urgent_qs
and ->rcu_need_heavy_qs. Note that it is possible for CPUs to go
offline with these urgency hints still set. This is handled because
rcu_disable_urgency_upon_qs() is also invoked during the online process.
Because these hints can be cleared both by the corresponding CPU and by
the grace-period kthread, this commit also adds a number of READ_ONCE()
and WRITE_ONCE() calls.

configurations of RCU.

Callback invocation can run for a significant time period, and within
CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y kernels, this period will be devoid of scheduler-clock
interrupts. In-kernel execution without such interrupts can cause all
manner of malfunction, with RCU CPU stall warnings being but one result.
This commit therefore forces scheduling-clock interrupts on whenever more
than a few RCU callbacks are invoked. Because offloaded callback invocation
can be preempted, this forcing is withdrawn on each context switch. This
in turn requires that the loop invoking RCU callbacks reiterate the forcing
periodically.

Bimodal behavior of rcu_do_batch() is not really suited to Google
applications like gfe servers.
When a process with millions of sockets exits, closing all files
queues two rcu callbacks per socket.
This eventually reaches the point where RCU enters an emergency
mode, where rcu_do_batch() do not return until whole queue is flushed.
Each rcu callback lasts at least 70 nsec, so with millions of
elements, we easily spend more than 100 msec without rescheduling.
Goal of this patch is to avoid the infamous message like following
"need_resched set for > 51999388 ns (52 ticks) without schedule"
We dynamically adjust the number of elements we process, instead
of 10 / INFINITE choices, we use a floor of ~1 % of current entries.
If the number is above 1000, we switch to a time based limit of 3 msec
per batch, adjustable with /sys/module/rcutree/parameters/rcu_resched_ns

The rcutree_migrate_callbacks() invokes rcu_advance_cbs() on both the
offlined CPU's ->cblist and that of the surviving CPU, then merges
them. However, after the merge, and of the offlined CPU's callbacks
that were not ready to be invoked will no longer be associated with a

Use of the rcu_data structure's segmented ->cblist for no-CBs CPUs
takes advantage of unrelated grace periods, thus reducing the memory
footprint in the face of floods of call_rcu() invocations. However,
the ->cblist field is a more-complex rcu_segcblist structure which must
be protected via locking. Even though there are only three entities
which can acquire this lock (the CPU invoking call_rcu(), the no-CBs
grace-period kthread, and the no-CBs callbacks kthread), the contention
on this lock is excessive under heavy stress.
This commit therefore greatly reduces contention by provisioning
an rcu_cblist structure field named ->nocb_bypass within the
rcu_data structure. Each no-CBs CPU is permitted only a limited
number of enqueues onto the ->cblist per jiffy, controlled by a new
nocb_nobypass_lim_per_jiffy kernel boot parameter that defaults to
about 16 enqueues per millisecond (16 * 1000 / HZ). When that limit is
exceeded, the CPU instead enqueues onto the new ->nocb_bypass.
The ->nocb_bypass is flushed into the ->cblist every jiffy or when
the number of callbacks on ->nocb_bypass exceeds qhimark, whichever
happens first. During call_rcu() floods, this flushing is carried out
by the CPU during the course of its call_rcu() invocations. However,
a CPU could simply stop invoking call_rcu() at any time. The no-CBs
grace-period kthread therefore carries out less-aggressive flushing
(every few jiffies or when the number of callbacks on ->nocb_bypass
exceeds (2 * qhimark), whichever comes first). This means that the
no-CBs grace-period kthread cannot be permitted to do unbounded waits
while there are callbacks on ->nocb_bypass. A ->nocb_bypass_timer is
used to provide the needed wakeups.

Currently, __call_rcu_nocb_wake() conditionally acquires the leaf rcu_node
structure's ->lock, and only afterwards does rcu_advance_cbs_nowake()
check to see if it is possible to advance callbacks without potentially
needing to awaken the grace-period kthread. Given that the no-awaken
check can be done locklessly, this commit reverses the order, so that
rcu_advance_cbs_nowake() is invoked without holding the leaf rcu_node
structure's ->lock and rcu_advance_cbs_nowake() checks the grace-period
state before conditionally acquiring that lock, thus reducing the number
of needless acquistions of the leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock.

Currently, the code provides an extra wakeup for the no-CBs grace-period
kthread if one of its CPUs is generating excessive numbers of callbacks.
But satisfying though it is to wake something up when things are going
south, unless the thing being awakened can actually help solve the
problem, that extra wakeup does nothing but consume additional CPU time,
which is exactly what you don't want during a call_rcu() flood.
This commit therefore avoids doing anything if the corresponding
no-CBs callback kthread is going full tilt. Otherwise, if advancing
callbacks immediately might help and if the leaf rcu_node structure's
lock is immediately available, this commit invokes a new variant of
rcu_advance_cbs() that advances callbacks only if doing so won't require
awakening the grace-period kthread (not to be confused with any of the
no-CBs grace-period kthreads).

CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y before invoking rcu_segcblist_is_offloaded().
This commit therefore makes this change.

Currently, rcu_core() invokes rcu_segcblist_is_offloaded() each time it
needs to know whether the current CPU is a no-CBs CPU. Given that it is
not possible to change the no-CBs status of a CPU after boot, and given
that it is not possible to even have no-CBs CPUs in CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=n
kernels, this repeated runtime invocation wastes CPU. This commit
therefore created a const on-stack variable to allow this check to be
done only once per rcu_core() invocation.

Currently the RCU callbacks for no-CBs CPUs are queued on a series of
ad-hoc linked lists, which means that these callbacks cannot benefit
from "drive-by" grace periods, thus suffering needless delays prior
to invocation. In addition, the no-CBs grace-period kthreads first
wait for callbacks to appear and later wait for a new grace period,
which means that callbacks appearing during a grace-period wait can
be delayed. These delays increase memory footprint, and could even
result in an out-of-memory condition.
This commit therefore enqueues RCU callbacks from no-CBs CPUs on the
rcu_segcblist structure that is already used by non-no-CBs CPUs. It also
restructures the no-CBs grace-period kthread to be checking for incoming
callbacks while waiting for grace periods. Also, instead of waiting
for a new grace period, it waits for the closest grace period that will
cause some of the callbacks to be safe to invoke. All of these changes
reduce callback latency and thus the number of outstanding callbacks,
in turn reducing the probability of an out-of-memory condition.

As a first step towards making no-CBs CPUs use the ->cblist, this commit
leaves the ->cblist enabled for these CPUs. The main reason to make
no-CBs CPUs use ->cblist is to take advantage of callback numbering,
which will reduce the effects of missed grace periods which in turn will
reduce forward-progress problems for no-CBs CPUs.

In theory, a timer is used to defer wakeups of no-CBs grace-period
kthreads when the wakeup cannot be done safely directly from the
call_rcu(). In practice, the one-jiffy delay is not always consistent
with timely callback invocation under heavy call_rcu() loads. Therefore,
there are a number of checks for a pending deferred wakeup, including
from the scheduling-clock interrupt. Unfortunately, this check follows
the rcu_nohz_full_cpu() early exit, which renders it useless on such CPUs.
This commit therefore moves the check for the pending deferred no-CB
wakeup to precede the rcu_nohz_full_cpu() early exit.

Because rcutree_migrate_callbacks() is invoked infrequently and because
an exact snapshot of the grace-period state might save some callbacks a
second trip through a grace period, this function has used the root
rcu_node structure. However, this safe-second-trip optimization
happens only if rcutree_migrate_callbacks() races with grace-period
initialization, so it is not worth the added mental load. This commit
therefore makes rcutree_migrate_callbacks() start with the leaf rcu_node
structures, as is done elsewhere.

This commit is a preparatory patch for offloaded callbacks using the
same ->cblist structure used by non-offloaded callbacks. It therefore
adds rcu_segcblist_is_offloaded() calls where they will be needed when
!rcu_segcblist_is_enabled() no longer flags the offloaded case. It also
adds checks in rcu_do_batch() to ensure that there are no missed checks:
Currently, it should not be possible for offloaded execution to reach
rcu_do_batch(), though this will change later in this series.
Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.ibm.com>
RCU callback processing currently uses rcu_is_nocb_cpu() to determine
whether or not the current CPU's callbacks are to be offloaded.
This works, but it is not so good for cache locality. Plus use of
->cblist for offloaded callbacks will greatly increase the frequency
of these checks. This commit therefore adds a ->offloaded flag to the
rcu_segcblist structure to provide a more flexible and cache-friendly
means of checking for callback offloading.

It would be good to combine the dynticks and dynticks_nesting counters
in order to simplify the code. Unfortunately, there are concerns
about usermode upcalls appearing to RCU as half of an interrupt, as
Byungchul learned [1]. The "half" in "half interrupt" is due to an
unpaired rcu_irq_enter(): Normally, each rcu_irq_enter() has a later
call to rcu_irq_exit().
Out of an abundance of caution, Paul added warnings [2] in the RCU
code which if not fired by 2021 will be interpreted as meaning that
this half-interrupt scenario cannot happen any more, thus permitting
simplification of this code.
In the meantime, this commit makes the following changes:
(1) Combining these two counters requires that rcu_rrupt_from_idle()
is invoked only from hard-interrupt contexts as discussed here [3].
This commit therefore adds the required lockdep_assert_in_irq()
to check this constraint.
(2) Furthermore, rcu_rrupt_from_idle() is not explicit about how it
is using the counters which can lead to weird future bugs. This
commit therefore adds comments indicating the meaning and use of
each counter.
(3) Lastly, this commit checks for counter underflows as another check
that half interrupts don't occur. (Previously, the function would
simply return true upon underflow.)
All these checks checks are NOOPs if PROVE_LOCKING (and thus PROVE_RCU)
are disabled.

Some workloads need to change kthread priority for RCU core processing
without affecting other softirq work. This commit therefore introduces
the rcutree.use_softirq kernel boot parameter, which moves the RCU core
work from softirq to a per-CPU SCHED_OTHER kthread named rcuc. Use of
SCHED_OTHER approach avoids the scalability problems that appeared
with the earlier attempt to move RCU core processing to from softirq
to kthreads. That said, kernels built with RCU_BOOST=y will run the
rcuc kthreads at the RCU-boosting priority.
Note that rcutree.use_softirq=0 must be specified to move RCU core
processing to the rcuc kthreads: rcutree.use_softirq=1 is the default.

migrate blocked tasks. Consequently, RCU no longer does RCU priority

When there are no callbacks pending on an idle system, I noticed that
RCU softirq is continuously firing. During this the cpu_no_qs is set to
false, and core_needs_qs is set to true indefinitely. This causes
rcu_process_callbacks to be repeatedly called, even though the node
corresponding to the CPU has that CPU's mask bit cleared and the system
is idle. I believe the race is when such mask clearing is done during
idle CPU scan of the quiescent state forcing stage in the kthread
instead of the softirq. Since the rnp mask is cleared, but the flags on
the CPU's rdp are not cleared, the CPU thinks it still needs to report
to core RCU.
Cure this by clearing the core_needs_qs flag when the CPU detects that
its node is already updated which will avoid the unwanted softirq raises
to the benefit of real-time systems.

srcu_queue_delayed_work_on() disables preemption (and therefore CPU
hotplug in RCU's case) and then checks based on its own accounting if a
CPU is online. If the CPU is online it uses queue_delayed_work_on()
otherwise it fallbacks to queue_delayed_work().
The problem here is that queue_work() on -RT does not work with disabled
preemption.
queue_work_on() works also on an offlined CPU. queue_delayed_work_on()
has the problem that it is possible to program a timer on an offlined
CPU. This timer will fire once the CPU is online again. But until then,
the timer remains programmed and nothing will happen.
Add a local timer which will fire (as requested per delay) on the local
CPU and then enqueue the work on the specific CPU.
RCUtorture testing with SRCU-P for 24h showed no problems.

This commit removes the "@irq" argument from the rcu_nmi_exit() docbook
header, given that this function now has no arguments.

Although the name rcu_process_callbacks() still makes sense for Tiny
RCU, where most of what it does is invoke callbacks, it no longer makes
much sense for Tree RCU, especially given that the actually callback
invocation is relegated to rcu_do_batch(), or, for no-CBs CPUs, to the
rcuo kthreads. Especially in the latter case, rcu_process_callbacks()
has very little to do with actual callbacks. A better description of
this function is that it performs RCU's core processing.
This commit therefore changes the name of Tree RCU's rcu_process_callbacks()
function to rcu_core(), which also has the virtue of being consistent with
the existing invoke_rcu_core() function.
While in the area, the header comment is reworked.

The name rcu_check_callbacks() arguably made sense back in the early
2000s when RCU was quite a bit simpler than it is today, but it has
become quite misleading, especially with the advent of dyntick-idle
and NO_HZ_FULL. The rcu_check_callbacks() function is RCU's hook into
the scheduling-clock interrupt, and is now but one of many ways that
callbacks get promoted to invocable state.
This commit therefore changes the name to rcu_sched_clock_irq(),
which is the same number of characters and clearly indicates this
function's relation to the rest of the Linux kernel. In addition, for
the sake of consistency, rcu_flavor_check_callbacks() is also renamed
to rcu_flavor_sched_clock_irq().
While in the area, the header comments for both functions are reworked.

Currently, __note_gp_changes() checks to see if the rcu_node structure's
->gp_seq_needed is greater than or equal to that of the rcu_data
structure, and if so, updates the rcu_data structure's ->gp_seq_needed
field. This results in a useless store in the case where the two fields
are equal.
This commit therefore carries out this store only in the case where the
rcu_node structure's ->gp_seq_needed is strictly greater than that of
the rcu_data structure.

The rcu_gp_kthread_wake() function is invoked when it might be necessary
to wake the RCU grace-period kthread. Because self-wakeups are normally
a useless waste of CPU cycles, if rcu_gp_kthread_wake() is invoked from
this kthread, it naturally refuses to do the wakeup.
Unfortunately, natural though it might be, this heuristic fails when
rcu_gp_kthread_wake() is invoked from an interrupt or softirq handler
that interrupted the grace-period kthread just after the final check of
the wait-event condition but just before the schedule() call. In this
case, a wakeup is required, even though the call to rcu_gp_kthread_wake()
is within the RCU grace-period kthread's context. Failing to provide
this wakeup can result in grace periods failing to start, which in turn
results in out-of-memory conditions.
This race window is quite narrow, but it actually did happen during real
testing. It would of course need to be fixed even if it was strictly
theoretical in nature.
This patch does not Cc stable because it does not apply cleanly to
earlier kernel versions.

Life is hard if RCU manages to get stuck without triggering RCU CPU
stall warnings or triggering the rcu_check_gp_start_stall() checks
for failing to start a grace period. This commit therefore adds a
boot-time-selectable sysrq key (commandeering "y") that allows manually
dumping Tree RCU state. The new rcutree.sysrq_rcu kernel boot parameter
must be set for this sysrq to be available.

The rcu_check_gp_kthread_starvation() function can be invoked without
holding locks, so the access to the rcu_state structure's ->gp_flags
field must be protected with READ_ONCE(). This commit therefore adds
this protection.
