7121dd915a rcu/nocb: Introduce nocb mutex
The barrier_mutex is used currently to protect (de-)offloading
operations and prevent from nocb_lock locking imbalance in rcu_barrier()
and shrinker, and also from misordered RCU barrier invocation.

Now since RCU (de-)offloading is going to happen on offline CPUs, an RCU
barrier will have to be executed while transitionning from offloaded to
de-offloaded state. And this can't happen while holding the
barrier_mutex.

Introduce a NOCB mutex to protect (de-)offloading transitions. The
barrier_mutex is still held for now when necessary to avoid barrier
callbacks reordering and nocb_lock imbalance.

Checking for races against concurrent (de-)offloading implies the

68d124b099 rcu: Add rcutree.nohz_full_patience_delay to reduce nohz_full OS jitter
If a CPU is running either a userspace application or a guest OS in
nohz_full mode, it is possible for a system call to occur just as an
RCU grace period is starting.  If that CPU also has the scheduling-clock
tick enabled for any reason (such as a second runnable task), and if the
system was booted with rcutree.use_softirq=0, then RCU can add insult to
injury by awakening that CPU's rcuc kthread, resulting in yet another
task and yet more OS jitter due to switching to that task, running it,
and switching back.

In addition, in the common case where that system call is not of
excessively long duration, awakening the rcuc task is pointless.
This pointlessness is due to the fact that the CPU will enter an extended
quiescent state upon returning to the userspace application or guest OS.
In this case, the rcuc kthread cannot do anything that the main RCU
grace-period kthread cannot do on its behalf, at least if it is given
a few additional milliseconds (for example, given the time duration
specified by rcutree.jiffies_till_first_fqs, give or take scheduling
delays).

This commit therefore adds a rcutree.nohz_full_patience_delay kernel
boot parameter that specifies the grace period age (in milliseconds,
rounded to jiffies) before which RCU will refrain from awakening the
rcuc kthread.  Preliminary experimentation suggests a value of 1000,
that is, one second.  Increasing rcutree.nohz_full_patience_delay will
increase grace-period latency and in turn increase memory footprint,
so systems with constrained memory might choose a smaller value.
Systems with less-aggressive OS-jitter requirements might choose the
default value of zero, which keeps the traditional immediate-wakeup
behavior, thus avoiding increases in grace-period latency.

483d5bf231 rcu/nocb: Use kthread parking instead of ad-hoc implementation
Upon NOCB deoffloading, the rcuo kthread must be forced to sleep
until the corresponding rdp is ever offloaded again. The deoffloader
clears the SEGCBLIST_OFFLOADED flag, wakes up the rcuo kthread which
then notices that change and clears in turn its SEGCBLIST_KTHREAD_CB
flag before going to sleep, until it ever sees the SEGCBLIST_OFFLOADED
flag again, should a re-offloading happen.

Upon NOCB offloading, the rcuo kthread must be forced to wake up and
handle callbacks until the corresponding rdp is ever deoffloaded again.
The offloader sets the SEGCBLIST_OFFLOADED flag, wakes up the rcuo
kthread which then notices that change and sets in turn its
SEGCBLIST_KTHREAD_CB flag before going to check callbacks, until it
ever sees the SEGCBLIST_OFFLOADED flag cleared again, should a
de-offloading happen again.

This is all a crude ad-hoc and error-prone kthread (un-)parking
re-implementation.

Consolidate the behaviour with the appropriate API instead.

ae2b217ab5 rcu: Make hotplug operations track GP state, not flags
Currently, there are rcu_data structure fields named ->rcu_onl_gp_seq
and ->rcu_ofl_gp_seq that track the rcu_state.gp_flags field at the
time of the corresponding CPU's last online or offline operation,
respectively.  However, this information is not particularly useful.
It would be better to instead track the grace period state kept
in rcu_state.gp_state.  This would also be consistent with the
initialization in rcu_boot_init_percpu_data(), which is to RCU_GP_CLEANED
(an rcu_state.gp_state value), and also with the diagnostics in
rcu_implicit_dynticks_qs(), whose format is consistent with an integer,
not a bitmask.

This commit therefore makes this change and changes the names to
->rcu_onl_gp_flags and ->rcu_ofl_gp_flags, respectively.

b67cffcbbf rcu/exp: Handle parallel exp gp kworkers affinity
Affine the parallel expedited gp kworkers to their respective RCU node
in order to make them close to the cache their are playing with.

This reuses the boost kthreads machinery that probe into CPU hotplug
operations such that the kthreads become/stay affine to their respective
node as soon/long as they contain online CPUs. Otherwise and if the
current CPU going down was the last online on the leaf node, the related
kthread is affine to the housekeeping CPUs.

In the long run, this affinity VS CPU hotplug operation game should
probably be implemented at the generic kthread level.

8e5e621566 rcu/exp: Make parallel exp gp kworker per rcu node
When CONFIG_RCU_EXP_KTHREAD=n, the expedited grace period per node
initialization is performed in parallel via workqueues (one work per
node).

However in CONFIG_RCU_EXP_KTHREAD=y, this per node initialization is
performed by a single kworker serializing each node initialization (one
work for all nodes).

The second part is certainly less scalable and efficient beyond a single
leaf node.

To improve this, expand this single kworker into per-node kworkers. This
new layout is eventually intended to remove the workqueues based
implementation since it will essentially now become duplicate code.

7836b27060 rcu: s/boost_kthread_mutex/kthread_mutex
This mutex is currently protecting per node boost kthreads creation and
affinity setting across CPU hotplug operations.

Since the expedited kworkers will soon be split per node as well, they
will be subject to the same concurrency constraints against hotplug.

Therefore their creation and affinity tuning operations will be grouped
with those of boost kthreads and then rely on the same mutex.

To prepare for that, generalize its name.

9146eb2549 rcu: Mark additional concurrent load from ->cpu_no_qs.b.exp
The per-CPU rcu_data structure's ->cpu_no_qs.b.exp field is updated
only on the instance corresponding to the current CPU, but can be read
more widely.  Unmarked accesses are OK from the corresponding CPU, but
only if interrupts are disabled, given that interrupt handlers can and
do modify this field.

Unfortunately, although the load from rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() is always
carried out from the corresponding CPU, interrupts are not necessarily
disabled.  This commit therefore upgrades this load to READ_ONCE.

Similarly, the diagnostic access from synchronize_rcu_expedited_wait()
might run with interrupts disabled and from some other CPU.  This commit
therefore marks this load with data_race().

Finally, the C-language access in rcu_preempt_ctxt_queue() is OK as
is because interrupts are disabled and this load is always from the
corresponding CPU.  This commit adds a comment giving the rationale for
this access being safe.

This data race was reported by KCSAN.  Not appropriate for backporting
due to failure being unlikely.

6343402ac3 rcu: Synchronize ->qsmaskinitnext in rcu_boost_kthread_setaffinity()
Once either rcutree_online_cpu() or rcutree_dead_cpu() is invoked
concurrently, the following rcu_boost_kthread_setaffinity() race can
occur:

        CPU 1                               CPU2
mask = rcu_rnp_online_cpus(rnp);
...

                                   mask = rcu_rnp_online_cpus(rnp);
                                   ...
                                   set_cpus_allowed_ptr(t, cm);

set_cpus_allowed_ptr(t, cm);

This results in CPU2's update being overwritten by that of CPU1, and
thus the possibility of ->boost_kthread_task continuing to run on a
to-be-offlined CPU.

This commit therefore eliminates this race by relying on the pre-existing
acquisition of ->boost_kthread_mutex to serialize the full process of
changing the affinity of ->boost_kthread_task.

528262f502 rcu-tasks: Make RCU Tasks Trace check for userspace execution
Userspace execution is a valid quiescent state for RCU Tasks Trace,
but the scheduling-clock interrupt does not currently report such
quiescent states.

Of course, the scheduling-clock interrupt is not strictly speaking
userspace execution.  However, the only way that this code is not
in a quiescent state is if something invoked rcu_read_lock_trace(),
and that would be reflected in the ->trc_reader_nesting field in
the task_struct structure.  Furthermore, this field is checked by
rcu_tasks_trace_qs(), which is invoked by rcu_tasks_qs() which is in
turn invoked by rcu_note_voluntary_context_switch() in kernels building
at least one of the RCU Tasks flavors.  It is therefore safe to invoke
rcu_tasks_trace_qs() from the rcu_sched_clock_irq().

But rcu_tasks_qs() also invokes rcu_tasks_classic_qs() for RCU
Tasks, which lacks the read-side markers provided by RCU Tasks Trace.
This raises the possibility that an RCU Tasks grace period could start
after the interrupt from userspace execution, but before the call to
rcu_sched_clock_irq().  However, it turns out that this is safe because
the RCU Tasks grace period waits for an RCU grace period, which will
wait for the entire scheduling-clock interrupt handler, including any
RCU Tasks read-side critical section that this handler might contain.

This commit therefore updates the rcu_sched_clock_irq() function's
check for usermode execution and its call to rcu_tasks_classic_qs()
to instead check for both usermode execution and interrupt from idle,
and to instead call rcu_note_voluntary_context_switch().  This
consolidates code and provides more faster RCU Tasks Trace
reporting of quiescent states in kernels that do scheduling-clock
interrupts for userspace execution.

7634b1eaa0 rcu: Exclude outgoing CPU when it is the last to leave
The rcu_boost_kthread_setaffinity() function removes the outgoing CPU
from the set_cpus_allowed() mask for the corresponding leaf rcu_node
structure's rcub priority-boosting kthread.  Except that if the outgoing
CPU will leave that structure without any online CPUs, the mask is set
to the housekeeping CPU mask from housekeeping_cpumask().  Which is fine
unless the outgoing CPU happens to be a housekeeping CPU.

This commit therefore removes the outgoing CPU from the housekeeping mask.
This would of course be problematic if the outgoing CPU was the last
online housekeeping CPU, but in that case you are in a world of hurt
anyway.  If someone comes up with a valid use case for a system needing
all the housekeeping CPUs to be offline, further adjustments can be made.

621189a1fe rcu: Avoid triggering strict-GP irq-work when RCU is idle
Kernels built with PREEMPT_RCU=y and RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y trigger
irq-work from rcu_read_unlock(), and the resulting irq-work handler
invokes rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handle().  The point of this triggering
is to force grace periods to end quickly in order to give tools like KASAN
a better chance of detecting RCU usage bugs such as leaking RCU-protected
pointers out of an RCU read-side critical section.

However, this irq-work triggering is unconditional.  This works, but
there is no point in doing this irq-work unless the current grace period
is waiting on the running CPU or task, which is not the common case.
After all, in the common case there are many rcu_read_unlock() calls
per CPU per grace period.

This commit therefore triggers the irq-work only when the current grace
period is waiting on the running CPU or task.

This change was tested as follows on a four-CPU system:

	echo rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handler > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
	echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/function_profile_enabled
	insmod rcutorture.ko
	sleep 20
	rmmod rcutorture.ko
	echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/function_profile_enabled
	echo > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter

This procedure produces results in this per-CPU set of files:

	/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/function*

Sample output from one of these files is as follows:

  Function                               Hit    Time            Avg             s^2

  rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handle      838746    182650.3 us     0.217 us        0.004 us

The baseline sum of the "Hit" values (the number of calls to this
function) was 3,319,015.  With this commit, that sum was 1,140,359,
for a 2.9x reduction.  The worst-case variance across the CPUs was less
than 25%, so this large effect size is statistically significant.

70a82c3c55 rcu: Immediately boost preempted readers for strict grace periods
The intent of the CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD Konfig option is to
cause normal grace periods to complete quickly in order to better catch
errors resulting from improperly leaking pointers from RCU read-side
critical sections.  However, kernels built with this option enabled still
wait for some hundreds of milliseconds before boosting RCU readers that
have been preempted within their current critical section.  The value
of this delay is set by the CONFIG_RCU_BOOST_DELAY Kconfig option,
which defaults to 500 milliseconds.

This commit therefore causes kernels build with strict grace periods
to ignore CONFIG_RCU_BOOST_DELAY.  This causes rcu_initiate_boost()
to start boosting immediately after all CPUs on a given leaf rcu_node
structure have passed through their quiescent states.

48f8070f5d rcu: Avoid tracing a few functions executed in stop machine
Stop-machine recently started calling additional functions while waiting:

----------------------------------------------------------------
Former stop machine wait loop:
do {
    cpu_relax(); => macro
    ...
} while (curstate != STOPMACHINE_EXIT);
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Current stop machine wait loop:
do {
    stop_machine_yield(cpumask); => function (notraced)
    ...
    touch_nmi_watchdog(); => function (notraced, inside calls also notraced)
    ...
    rcu_momentary_dyntick_idle(); => function (notraced, inside calls traced)
} while (curstate != MULTI_STOP_EXIT);
------------------------------------------------------------------

These functions (and the functions that they call) must be marked
notrace to prevent them from being updated while they are executing.
The consequences of failing to mark these functions can be severe:

f596e2ce1c rcu: Use IRQ_WORK_INIT_HARD() to avoid rcu_read_unlock() hangs
When booting kernels built with both CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y
and CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y, the rcu_read_unlock_special() function's
invocation of irq_work_queue_on() the init_irq_work() causes the
rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handler() function to work execute in SCHED_FIFO
irq_work kthreads.  Because rcu_read_unlock_special() is invoked on each
rcu_read_unlock() in such kernels, the amount of work just keeps piling
up, resulting in a boot-time hang.

This commit therefore avoids this hang by using IRQ_WORK_INIT_HARD()
instead of init_irq_work(), but only in kernels built with both
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y and CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y.

90d2efe7bd rcu: Fix rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore() strict QS reporting
Suppose we have a kernel built with both CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y
and CONFIG_PREEMPT=y.  Suppose further that an RCU reader from which RCU
core needs a quiescent state ends in rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore().
This function will then invoke rcu_report_qs_rdp() in order to immediately
report that quiescent state.  Unfortunately, it will not have cleared
that reader's CPU's rcu_data structure's ->cpu_no_qs.b.norm field.
As a result, rcu_report_qs_rdp() will take an early exit because it
will believe that this CPU has not yet encountered a quiescent state,
and there will be no reporting of the current quiescent state.

This commit therefore causes rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore() to
clear the ->cpu_no_qs.b.norm field before invoking rcu_report_qs_rdp().

c951587585 rcu: Add per-CPU rcuc task dumps to RCU CPU stall warnings
When the rcutree.use_softirq kernel boot parameter is set to zero, all
RCU_SOFTIRQ processing is carried out by the per-CPU rcuc kthreads.
If these kthreads are being starved, quiescent states will not be
reported, which in turn means that the grace period will not end, which
can in turn trigger RCU CPU stall warnings.  This commit therefore dumps
stack traces of stalled CPUs' rcuc kthreads, which can help identify
what is preventing those kthreads from running.

10c5357874 rcu: Don't deboost before reporting expedited quiescent state
Currently rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore() releases rnp->boost_mtx
before reporting the expedited quiescent state.  Under heavy real-time
load, this can result in this function being preempted before the
quiescent state is reported, which can in turn prevent the expedited grace
period from completing.  Tim Murray reports that the resulting expedited
grace periods can take hundreds of milliseconds and even more than one
second, when they should normally complete in less than a millisecond.

This was fine given that there were no particular response-time
constraints for synchronize_rcu_expedited(), as it was designed
for throughput rather than latency.  However, some users now need
sub-100-millisecond response-time constratints.

This patch therefore follows Neeraj's suggestion (seconded by Tim and
by Uladzislau Rezki) of simply reversing the two operations.

790da24897 rcu: Make idle entry report expedited quiescent states
In non-preemptible kernels, an unfortunately timed expedited grace period
can result in the rcu_exp_handler() IPI handler setting the rcu_data
structure's cpu_no_qs.b.exp field just as the target CPU enters idle.
There are situations in which this field will not be checked until after
that CPU exits idle.  The resulting grace-period latency does not qualify
as "expedited".

This commit therefore checks this field upon non-preemptible idle entry in
the rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() function.  It also qualifies the rcu_core()
preempt_count() check with IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT) to prevent
false-positive quiescent states from count-free kernels.

Fortunately, it is now safe for preemptible RCU to rely on the rcu_data

Preemptible RCU does not use the rcu_data structure's ->cpu_no_qs.b.exp,
instead using a separate ->exp_deferred_qs field to record the need for
an expedited quiescent state.

In fact ->cpu_no_qs.b.exp should never be set in preemptible RCU because
preemptible RCU's expedited grace periods use other mechanisms to record
quiescent states.

This commit therefore removes the implicit rcu_qs() reference to
->cpu_no_qs.b.exp in favor of a direct reference to ->cpu_no_qs.b.norm.

c2cf0767e9 rcu: Avoid running boost kthreads on isolated CPUs
When the boost kthreads are created on systems with nohz_full CPUs,
the cpus_allowed_ptr is set to housekeeping_cpumask(HK_FLAG_KTHREAD).
However, when the rcu_boost_kthread_setaffinity() is called, the original
affinity will be changed and these kthreads can subsequently run on
nohz_full CPUs.  This commit makes rcu_boost_kthread_setaffinity()
restrict these boost kthreads to housekeeping CPUs.
