rcu: Merge preemptable-RCU functionality into hierarchical RCU Create a kernel/rcutree_plugin.h file that contains definitions for preemptable RCU (or, under the #else branch of the #ifdef, empty definitions for the classic non-preemptable semantics). These definitions fit into plugins defined in kernel/rcutree.c for this purpose. This variant of preemptable RCU uses a new algorithm whose read-side expense is roughly that of classic hierarchical RCU under CONFIG_PREEMPT. This new algorithm's update-side expense is similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence of read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic hierarchical RCU. Perhaps more important, this new algorithm has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new algorithm. The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations over the past 18 months.

rcu: Make rcu_nocb_poll an early_param instead of module_param The as-documented rcu_nocb_poll will fail to enable this feature for two reasons. (1) there is an extra "s" in the documented name which is not in the code, and (2) since it uses module_param, it really is expecting a prefix, akin to "rcutree.fanout_leaf" and the prefix isn't documented. However, there are several reasons why we might not want to simply fix the typo and add the prefix: 1) we'd end up with rcutree.rcu_nocb_poll, and rather probably make a change to rcutree.nocb_poll 2) if we did #1, then the prefix wouldn't be consistent with the rcu_nocbs=<cpumap> parameter (i.e. one with, one without prefix) 3) the use of module_param in a header file is less than desired, since it isn't immediately obvious that it will get processed via rcutree.c and get the prefix from that (although use of module_param_named() could clarify that.) 4) the implied export of /sys/module/rcutree/parameters/rcu_nocb_poll data to userspace via module_param() doesn't really buy us anything, as it is read-only and we can tell if it is enabled already without it, since there is a printk at early boot telling us so. In light of all that, just change it from a module_param() to an early_setup() call, and worry about adding it to /sys later on if we decide to allow a dynamic setting of it. Also change the variable to be tagged as read_mostly, since it will only ever be fiddled with at most, once at boot.

rcu: Don't migrate blocked tasks even if all corresponding CPUs offline When the last CPU associated with a given leaf rcu_node structure goes offline, something must be done about the tasks queued on that rcu_node structure. Each of these tasks has been preempted on one of the leaf rcu_node structure's CPUs while in an RCU read-side critical section that it have not yet exited. Handling these tasks is the job of rcu_preempt_offline_tasks(), which migrates them from the leaf rcu_node structure to the root rcu_node structure. Unfortunately, this migration has to be done one task at a time because each tasks allegiance must be shifted from the original leaf rcu_node to the root, so that future attempts to deal with these tasks will acquire the root rcu_node structure's ->lock rather than that of the leaf. Worse yet, this migration must be done with interrupts disabled, which is not so good for realtime response, especially given that there is no bound on the number of tasks on a given rcu_node structure's list. (OK, OK, there is a bound, it is just that it is unreasonably large, especially on 64-bit systems.) This was not considered a problem back when rcu_preempt_offline_tasks() was first written because realtime systems were assumed not to do CPU-hotplug operations while real-time applications were running. This assumption has proved of dubious validity given that people are starting to run multiple realtime applications on a single SMP system and that it is common practice to offline then online a CPU before starting its real-time application in order to clear extraneous processing off of that CPU. So we now need CPU hotplug operations to avoid undue latencies. This commit therefore avoids migrating these tasks, instead letting them be dequeued one by one from the original leaf rcu_node structure by rcu_read_unlock_special(). This means that the clearing of bits from the upper-level rcu_node structures must be deferred until the last such task has been dequeued, because otherwise subsequent grace periods won't wait on them. This commit has the beneficial side effect of simplifying the CPU-hotplug code for TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, especially in CONFIG_RCU_BOOST builds. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Merge preemptable-RCU functionality into hierarchical RCU Create a kernel/rcutree_plugin.h file that contains definitions for preemptable RCU (or, under the #else branch of the #ifdef, empty definitions for the classic non-preemptable semantics). These definitions fit into plugins defined in kernel/rcutree.c for this purpose. This variant of preemptable RCU uses a new algorithm whose read-side expense is roughly that of classic hierarchical RCU under CONFIG_PREEMPT. This new algorithm's update-side expense is similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence of read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic hierarchical RCU. Perhaps more important, this new algorithm has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new algorithm. The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations over the past 18 months.

rcu: refactor RCU's context-switch handling The addition of preemptible RCU to treercu resulted in a bit of confusion and inefficiency surrounding the handling of context switches for RCU-sched and for RCU-preempt. For RCU-sched, a context switch is a quiescent state, pure and simple, just like it always has been. For RCU-preempt, a context switch is in no way a quiescent state, but special handling is required when a task blocks in an RCU read-side critical section. However, the callout from the scheduler and the outer loop in ksoftirqd still calls something named rcu_sched_qs(), whose name is no longer accurate. Furthermore, when rcu_check_callbacks() notes an RCU-sched quiescent state, it ends up unnecessarily (though harmlessly, aside from the performance hit) enqueuing the current task if it happens to be running in an RCU-preempt read-side critical section. This not only increases the maximum latency of scheduler_tick(), it also needlessly increases the overhead of the next outermost rcu_read_unlock() invocation. This patch addresses this situation by separating the notion of RCU's context-switch handling from that of RCU-sched's quiescent states. The context-switch handling is covered by rcu_note_context_switch() in general and by rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() for preemptible RCU. This permits rcu_sched_qs() to handle quiescent states and only quiescent states. It also reduces the maximum latency of scheduler_tick(), though probably by much less than a microsecond. Finally, it means that tasks within preemptible-RCU read-side critical sections avoid incurring the overhead of queuing unless there really is a context switch.

rcu: protect __rcu_read_unlock() against scheduler-using irq handlers The addition of RCU read-side critical sections within runqueue and priority-inheritance lock critical sections introduced some deadlock cycles, for example, involving interrupts from __rcu_read_unlock() where the interrupt handlers call wake_up(). This situation can cause the instance of __rcu_read_unlock() invoked from interrupt to do some of the processing that would otherwise have been carried out by the task-level instance of __rcu_read_unlock(). When the interrupt-level instance of __rcu_read_unlock() is called with a scheduler lock held from interrupt-entry/exit situations where in_irq() returns false, deadlock can result. This commit resolves these deadlocks by using negative values of the per-task ->rcu_read_lock_nesting counter to indicate that an instance of __rcu_read_unlock() is in flight, which in turn prevents instances from interrupt handlers from doing any special processing. This patch is inspired by Steven Rostedt's earlier patch that similarly made __rcu_read_unlock() guard against interrupt-mediated recursion (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/15/326), but this commit refines Steven's approach to avoid the need for preemption disabling on the __rcu_read_unlock() fastpath and to also avoid the need for manipulating a separate per-CPU variable. This patch avoids need for preempt_disable() by instead using negative values of the per-task ->rcu_read_lock_nesting counter. Note that nested rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs are still permitted, but they will never see ->rcu_read_lock_nesting go to zero, and will therefore never invoke rcu_read_unlock_special(), thus preventing them from seeing the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED bit should it be set in ->rcu_read_unlock_special. This patch also adds a check for ->rcu_read_unlock_special being negative in rcu_check_callbacks(), thus preventing the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_NEED_QS bit from being set should a scheduling-clock interrupt occur while __rcu_read_unlock() is exiting from an outermost RCU read-side critical section. Of course, __rcu_read_unlock() can be preempted during the time that ->rcu_read_lock_nesting is negative. This could result in the setting of the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED bit after __rcu_read_unlock() checks it, and would also result it this task being queued on the corresponding rcu_node structure's blkd_tasks list. Therefore, some later RCU read-side critical section would enter rcu_read_unlock_special() to clean up -- which could result in deadlock if that critical section happened to be in the scheduler where the runqueue or priority-inheritance locks were held. This situation is dealt with by making rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() check for negative ->rcu_read_lock_nesting, thus refraining from queuing the task (and from setting RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED) if we are already exiting from the outermost RCU read-side critical section (in other words, we really are no longer actually in that RCU read-side critical section). In addition, rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() invokes rcu_read_unlock_special() to carry out the cleanup in this case, which clears out the ->rcu_read_unlock_special bits and dequeues the task (if necessary), in turn avoiding needless delay of the current RCU grace period and needless RCU priority boosting. It is still illegal to call rcu_read_unlock() while holding a scheduler lock if the prior RCU read-side critical section has ever had either preemption or irqs enabled. However, the common use case is legal, namely where then entire RCU read-side critical section executes with irqs disabled, for example, when the scheduler lock is held across the entire lifetime of the RCU read-side critical section.

rcu: Process offlining and onlining only at grace-period start Races between CPU hotplug and grace periods can be difficult to resolve, so the ->onoff_mutex is used to exclude the two events. Unfortunately, this means that it is impossible for an outgoing CPU to perform the last bits of its offlining from its last pass through the idle loop, because sleeplocks cannot be acquired in that context. This commit avoids these problems by buffering online and offline events in a new ->qsmaskinitnext field in the leaf rcu_node structures. When a grace period starts, the events accumulated in this mask are applied to the ->qsmaskinit field, and, if needed, up the rcu_node tree. The special case of all CPUs corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node structure being offline while there are still elements in that structure's ->blkd_tasks list is handled using a new ->wait_blkd_tasks field. In this case, propagating the offline bits up the tree is deferred until the beginning of the grace period after all of the tasks have exited their RCU read-side critical sections and removed themselves from the list, at which point the ->wait_blkd_tasks flag is cleared. If one of that leaf rcu_node structure's CPUs comes back online before the list empties, then the ->wait_blkd_tasks flag is simply cleared. This of course means that RCU's notion of which CPUs are offline can be out of date. This is OK because RCU need only wait on CPUs that were online at the time that the grace period started. In addition, RCU's force-quiescent-state actions will handle the case where a CPU goes offline after the grace period starts. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

rcu: protect __rcu_read_unlock() against scheduler-using irq handlers The addition of RCU read-side critical sections within runqueue and priority-inheritance lock critical sections introduced some deadlock cycles, for example, involving interrupts from __rcu_read_unlock() where the interrupt handlers call wake_up(). This situation can cause the instance of __rcu_read_unlock() invoked from interrupt to do some of the processing that would otherwise have been carried out by the task-level instance of __rcu_read_unlock(). When the interrupt-level instance of __rcu_read_unlock() is called with a scheduler lock held from interrupt-entry/exit situations where in_irq() returns false, deadlock can result. This commit resolves these deadlocks by using negative values of the per-task ->rcu_read_lock_nesting counter to indicate that an instance of __rcu_read_unlock() is in flight, which in turn prevents instances from interrupt handlers from doing any special processing. This patch is inspired by Steven Rostedt's earlier patch that similarly made __rcu_read_unlock() guard against interrupt-mediated recursion (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/15/326), but this commit refines Steven's approach to avoid the need for preemption disabling on the __rcu_read_unlock() fastpath and to also avoid the need for manipulating a separate per-CPU variable. This patch avoids need for preempt_disable() by instead using negative values of the per-task ->rcu_read_lock_nesting counter. Note that nested rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs are still permitted, but they will never see ->rcu_read_lock_nesting go to zero, and will therefore never invoke rcu_read_unlock_special(), thus preventing them from seeing the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED bit should it be set in ->rcu_read_unlock_special. This patch also adds a check for ->rcu_read_unlock_special being negative in rcu_check_callbacks(), thus preventing the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_NEED_QS bit from being set should a scheduling-clock interrupt occur while __rcu_read_unlock() is exiting from an outermost RCU read-side critical section. Of course, __rcu_read_unlock() can be preempted during the time that ->rcu_read_lock_nesting is negative. This could result in the setting of the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED bit after __rcu_read_unlock() checks it, and would also result it this task being queued on the corresponding rcu_node structure's blkd_tasks list. Therefore, some later RCU read-side critical section would enter rcu_read_unlock_special() to clean up -- which could result in deadlock if that critical section happened to be in the scheduler where the runqueue or priority-inheritance locks were held. This situation is dealt with by making rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() check for negative ->rcu_read_lock_nesting, thus refraining from queuing the task (and from setting RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED) if we are already exiting from the outermost RCU read-side critical section (in other words, we really are no longer actually in that RCU read-side critical section). In addition, rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() invokes rcu_read_unlock_special() to carry out the cleanup in this case, which clears out the ->rcu_read_unlock_special bits and dequeues the task (if necessary), in turn avoiding needless delay of the current RCU grace period and needless RCU priority boosting. It is still illegal to call rcu_read_unlock() while holding a scheduler lock if the prior RCU read-side critical section has ever had either preemption or irqs enabled. However, the common use case is legal, namely where then entire RCU read-side critical section executes with irqs disabled, for example, when the scheduler lock is held across the entire lifetime of the RCU read-side critical section.

This new algorithm's update-side expense is similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence of read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic hierarchical RCU. Perhaps more important, this new algorithm has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new algorithm. The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations over the past 18 months.

rcu: Fix grace-period-stall bug on large systems with CPU hotplug When the last CPU of a given leaf rcu_node structure goes offline, all of the tasks queued on that leaf rcu_node structure (due to having blocked in their current RCU read-side critical sections) are requeued onto the root rcu_node structure. This requeuing is carried out by rcu_preempt_offline_tasks(). However, it is possible that these queued tasks are the only thing preventing the leaf rcu_node structure from reporting a quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy. Unfortunately, the old code would fail to do this reporting, resulting in a grace-period stall given the following sequence of events: 1. Kernel built for more than 32 CPUs on 32-bit systems or for more than 64 CPUs on 64-bit systems, so that there is more than one rcu_node structure. (Or CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT is artificially set to a number smaller than CONFIG_NR_CPUS.) 2. The kernel is built with CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU. 3. A task running on a CPU associated with a given leaf rcu_node structure blocks while in an RCU read-side critical section -and- that CPU has not yet passed through a quiescent state for the current RCU grace period. This will cause the task to be queued on the leaf rcu_node's blocked_tasks[] array, in particular, on the element of this array corresponding to the current grace period. 4. Each of the remaining CPUs corresponding to this same leaf rcu_node structure pass through a quiescent state. However, the task is still in its RCU read-side critical section, so these quiescent states cannot be reported further up the rcu_node hierarchy. Nevertheless, all bits in the leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask field are now zero. 5. Each of the remaining CPUs go offline. (The events in step #4 and #5 can happen in any order as long as each CPU passes through a quiescent state before going offline.) 6. When the last CPU goes offline, __rcu_offline_cpu() will invoke rcu_preempt_offline_tasks(), which will move the task to the root rcu_node structure, but without reporting a quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy (and this failure to report a quiescent state is the bug). But because this leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask field is already zero and its ->block_tasks[] entries are all empty, force_quiescent_state() will skip this rcu_node structure. Therefore, grace periods are now hung. This patch abstracts some code out of rcu_read_unlock_special(), calling the result task_quiet() by analogy with cpu_quiet(), and invokes task_quiet() from both rcu_read_lock_special() and __rcu_offline_cpu(). Invoking task_quiet() from __rcu_offline_cpu() reports the quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy, fixing the bug. This ends up requiring a separate lock_class_key per level of the rcu_node hierarchy, which this patch also provides. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Clear need_qs flag to prevent splat If the scheduling-clock interrupt sets the current tasks need_qs flag, but if the current CPU passes through a quiescent state in the meantime, then rcu_preempt_qs() will fail to clear the need_qs flag, which can fool RCU into thinking that additional rcu_read_unlock_special() processing is needed. This commit therefore clears the need_qs flag before checking for additional processing. For this problem to occur, we need rcu_preempt_data.passed_quiesce equal to true and current->rcu_read_unlock_special.b.need_qs also equal to true. This condition can occur as follows: 1. CPU 0 is aware of the current preemptible RCU grace period, but has not yet passed through a quiescent state. Among other things, this means that rcu_preempt_data.passed_quiesce is false. 2. Task A running on CPU 0 enters a preemptible RCU read-side critical section. 3. CPU 0 takes a scheduling-clock interrupt, which notices the RCU read-side critical section and the need for a quiescent state, and thus sets current->rcu_read_unlock_special.b.need_qs to true. 4. Task A is preempted, enters the scheduler, eventually invoking rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() which in turn invokes rcu_preempt_qs(). Because rcu_preempt_data.passed_quiesce is false, control enters the body of the "if" statement, which sets rcu_preempt_data.passed_quiesce to true. 5. At this point, CPU 0 takes an interrupt. The interrupt handler contains an RCU read-side critical section, and the rcu_read_unlock() notes that current->rcu_read_unlock_special is nonzero, and thus invokes rcu_read_unlock_special(). 6. Once in rcu_read_unlock_special(), the fact that current->rcu_read_unlock_special.b.need_qs is true becomes apparent, so rcu_read_unlock_special() invokes rcu_preempt_qs(). Recursively, given that we interrupted out of that same function in the preceding step. 7. Because rcu_preempt_data.passed_quiesce is now true, rcu_preempt_qs() does nothing, and simply returns. 8. Upon return to rcu_read_unlock_special(), it is noted that current->rcu_read_unlock_special is still nonzero (because the interrupted rcu_preempt_qs() had not yet gotten around to clearing current->rcu_read_unlock_special.b.need_qs). 9. Execution proceeds to the WARN_ON_ONCE(), which notes that we are in an interrupt handler and thus duly splats. The solution, as noted above, is to make rcu_read_unlock_special() clear out current->rcu_read_unlock_special.b.need_qs after calling rcu_preempt_qs(). The interrupted rcu_preempt_qs() will clear it again, but this is harmless. The worst that happens is that we clobber another attempt to set this field, but this is not a problem because we just got done reporting a quiescent state.

rcu: Merge preemptable-RCU functionality into hierarchical RCU Create a kernel/rcutree_plugin.h file that contains definitions for preemptable RCU (or, under the #else branch of the #ifdef, empty definitions for the classic non-preemptable semantics). These definitions fit into plugins defined in kernel/rcutree.c for this purpose. This variant of preemptable RCU uses a new algorithm whose read-side expense is roughly that of classic hierarchical RCU under CONFIG_PREEMPT. This new algorithm's update-side expense is similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence of read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic hierarchical RCU. Perhaps more important, this new algorithm has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new algorithm. The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations over the past 18 months.

rcu: Avoid RCU-preempt expedited grace-period botch Because rcu_read_unlock_special() samples rcu_preempted_readers_exp(rnp) after dropping rnp->lock, the following sequence of events is possible: 1. Task A exits its RCU read-side critical section, and removes itself from the ->blkd_tasks list, releases rnp->lock, and is then preempted. Task B remains on the ->blkd_tasks list, and blocks the current expedited grace period. 2. Task B exits from its RCU read-side critical section and removes itself from the ->blkd_tasks list. Because it is the last task blocking the current expedited grace period, it ends that expedited grace period. 3. Task A resumes, and samples rcu_preempted_readers_exp(rnp) which of course indicates that nothing is blocking the nonexistent expedited grace period. Task A is again preempted. 4. Some other CPU starts an expedited grace period. There are several tasks blocking this expedited grace period queued on the same rcu_node structure that Task A was using in step 1 above. 5. Task A examines its state and incorrectly concludes that it was the last task blocking the expedited grace period on the current rcu_node structure. It therefore reports completion up the rcu_node tree. 6. The expedited grace period can then incorrectly complete before the tasks blocked on this same rcu_node structure exit their RCU read-side critical sections. Arbitrarily bad things happen. This commit therefore takes a snapshot of rcu_preempted_readers_exp(rnp) prior to dropping the lock, so that only the last task thinks that it is the last task, thus avoiding the failure scenario laid out above.

rcu: Fix grace-period-stall bug on large systems with CPU hotplug When the last CPU of a given leaf rcu_node structure goes offline, all of the tasks queued on that leaf rcu_node structure (due to having blocked in their current RCU read-side critical sections) are requeued onto the root rcu_node structure. This requeuing is carried out by rcu_preempt_offline_tasks(). However, it is possible that these queued tasks are the only thing preventing the leaf rcu_node structure from reporting a quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy. Unfortunately, the old code would fail to do this reporting, resulting in a grace-period stall given the following sequence of events: 1. Kernel built for more than 32 CPUs on 32-bit systems or for more than 64 CPUs on 64-bit systems, so that there is more than one rcu_node structure. (Or CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT is artificially set to a number smaller than CONFIG_NR_CPUS.) 2. The kernel is built with CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU. 3. A task running on a CPU associated with a given leaf rcu_node structure blocks while in an RCU read-side critical section -and- that CPU has not yet passed through a quiescent state for the current RCU grace period. This will cause the task to be queued on the leaf rcu_node's blocked_tasks[] array, in particular, on the element of this array corresponding to the current grace period. 4. Each of the remaining CPUs corresponding to this same leaf rcu_node structure pass through a quiescent state. However, the task is still in its RCU read-side critical section, so these quiescent states cannot be reported further up the rcu_node hierarchy. Nevertheless, all bits in the leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask field are now zero. 5. Each of the remaining CPUs go offline. (The events in step #4 and #5 can happen in any order as long as each CPU passes through a quiescent state before going offline.) 6. When the last CPU goes offline, __rcu_offline_cpu() will invoke rcu_preempt_offline_tasks(), which will move the task to the root rcu_node structure, but without reporting a quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy (and this failure to report a quiescent state is the bug). But because this leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask field is already zero and its ->block_tasks[] entries are all empty, force_quiescent_state() will skip this rcu_node structure. Therefore, grace periods are now hung. This patch abstracts some code out of rcu_read_unlock_special(), calling the result task_quiet() by analogy with cpu_quiet(), and invokes task_quiet() from both rcu_read_lock_special() and __rcu_offline_cpu(). Invoking task_quiet() from __rcu_offline_cpu() reports the quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy, fixing the bug. This ends up requiring a separate lock_class_key per level of the rcu_node hierarchy, which this patch also provides. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: protect __rcu_read_unlock() against scheduler-using irq handlers The addition of RCU read-side critical sections within runqueue and priority-inheritance lock critical sections introduced some deadlock cycles, for example, involving interrupts from __rcu_read_unlock() where the interrupt handlers call wake_up(). This situation can cause the instance of __rcu_read_unlock() invoked from interrupt to do some of the processing that would otherwise have been carried out by the task-level instance of __rcu_read_unlock(). When the interrupt-level instance of __rcu_read_unlock() is called with a scheduler lock held from interrupt-entry/exit situations where in_irq() returns false, deadlock can result. This commit resolves these deadlocks by using negative values of the per-task ->rcu_read_lock_nesting counter to indicate that an instance of __rcu_read_unlock() is in flight, which in turn prevents instances from interrupt handlers from doing any special processing. This patch is inspired by Steven Rostedt's earlier patch that similarly made __rcu_read_unlock() guard against interrupt-mediated recursion (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/15/326), but this commit refines Steven's approach to avoid the need for preemption disabling on the __rcu_read_unlock() fastpath and to also avoid the need for manipulating a separate per-CPU variable. This patch avoids need for preempt_disable() by instead using negative values of the per-task ->rcu_read_lock_nesting counter. Note that nested rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs are still permitted, but they will never see ->rcu_read_lock_nesting go to zero, and will therefore never invoke rcu_read_unlock_special(), thus preventing them from seeing the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED bit should it be set in ->rcu_read_unlock_special. This patch also adds a check for ->rcu_read_unlock_special being negative in rcu_check_callbacks(), thus preventing the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_NEED_QS bit from being set should a scheduling-clock interrupt occur while __rcu_read_unlock() is exiting from an outermost RCU read-side critical section. Of course, __rcu_read_unlock() can be preempted during the time that ->rcu_read_lock_nesting is negative. This could result in the setting of the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED bit after __rcu_read_unlock() checks it, and would also result it this task being queued on the corresponding rcu_node structure's blkd_tasks list. Therefore, some later RCU read-side critical section would enter rcu_read_unlock_special() to clean up -- which could result in deadlock if that critical section happened to be in the scheduler where the runqueue or priority-inheritance locks were held. This situation is dealt with by making rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() check for negative ->rcu_read_lock_nesting, thus refraining from queuing the task (and from setting RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED) if we are already exiting from the outermost RCU read-side critical section (in other words, we really are no longer actually in that RCU read-side critical section). In addition, rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() invokes rcu_read_unlock_special() to carry out the cleanup in this case, which clears out the ->rcu_read_unlock_special bits and dequeues the task (if necessary), in turn avoiding needless delay of the current RCU grace period and needless RCU priority boosting. It is still illegal to call rcu_read_unlock() while holding a scheduler lock if the prior RCU read-side critical section has ever had either preemption or irqs enabled. However, the common use case is legal, namely where then entire RCU read-side critical section executes with irqs disabled, for example, when the scheduler lock is held across the entire lifetime of the RCU read-side critical section.

rcu: Use softirq to address performance regression Commit a26ac2455ffcf3(rcu: move TREE_RCU from softirq to kthread) introduced performance regression. In an AIM7 test, this commit degraded performance by about 40%. The commit runs rcu callbacks in a kthread instead of softirq. We observed high rate of context switch which is caused by this. Out test system has 64 CPUs and HZ is 1000, so we saw more than 64k context switch per second which is caused by RCU's per-CPU kthread. A trace showed that most of the time the RCU per-CPU kthread doesn't actually handle any callbacks, but instead just does a very small amount of work handling grace periods. This means that RCU's per-CPU kthreads are making the scheduler do quite a bit of work in order to allow a very small amount of RCU-related processing to be done. Alex Shi's analysis determined that this slowdown is due to lock contention within the scheduler. Unfortunately, as Peter Zijlstra points out, the scheduler's real-time semantics require global action, which means that this contention is inherent in real-time scheduling. (Yes, perhaps someone will come up with a workaround -- otherwise, -rt is not going to do well on large SMP systems -- but this patch will work around this issue in the meantime. And "the meantime" might well be forever.) This patch therefore re-introduces softirq processing to RCU, but only for core RCU work. RCU callbacks are still executed in kthread context, so that only a small amount of RCU work runs in softirq context in the common case. This should minimize ksoftirqd execution, allowing us to skip boosting of ksoftirqd for CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y kernels.

rcu: Narrow early boot window of illegal synchronous grace periods The current preemptible RCU implementation goes through three phases during bootup. In the first phase, there is only one CPU that is running with preemption disabled, so that a no-op is a synchronous grace period. In the second mid-boot phase, the scheduler is running, but RCU has not yet gotten its kthreads spawned (and, for expedited grace periods, workqueues are not yet running. During this time, any attempt to do a synchronous grace period will hang the system (or complain bitterly, depending). In the third and final phase, RCU is fully operational and everything works normally. This has been OK for some time, but there has recently been some synchronous grace periods showing up during the second mid-boot phase. This code worked "by accident" for awhile, but started failing as soon as expedited RCU grace periods switched over to workqueues in commit 8b355e3bc140 ("rcu: Drive expedited grace periods from workqueue"). Note that the code was buggy even before this commit, as it was subject to failure on real-time systems that forced all expedited grace periods to run as normal grace periods (for example, using the rcu_normal ksysfs parameter). The callchain from the failure case is as follows: early_amd_iommu_init() |-> acpi_put_table(ivrs_base); |-> acpi_tb_put_table(table_desc); |-> acpi_tb_invalidate_table(table_desc); |-> acpi_tb_release_table(...) |-> acpi_os_unmap_memory |-> acpi_os_unmap_iomem |-> acpi_os_map_cleanup |-> synchronize_rcu_expedited The kernel showing this callchain was built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y, which caused the code to try using workqueues before they were initialized, which did not go well. This commit therefore reworks RCU to permit synchronous grace periods to proceed during this mid-boot phase. This commit is therefore a fix to a regression introduced in v4.9, and is therefore being put forward post-merge-window in v4.10. This commit sets a flag from the existing rcu_scheduler_starting() function which causes all synchronous grace periods to take the expedited path. The expedited path now checks this flag, using the requesting task to drive the expedited grace period forward during the mid-boot phase. Finally, this flag is updated by a core_initcall() function named rcu_exp_runtime_mode(), which causes the runtime codepaths to be used. Note that this arrangement assumes that tasks are not sent POSIX signals (or anything similar) from the time that the first task is spawned through core_initcall() time.

This requeuing is carried out by rcu_preempt_offline_tasks(). However, it is possible that these queued tasks are the only thing preventing the leaf rcu_node structure from reporting a quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy. Unfortunately, the old code would fail to do this reporting, resulting in a grace-period stall given the following sequence of events: 1. Kernel built for more than 32 CPUs on 32-bit systems or for more than 64 CPUs on 64-bit systems, so that there is more than one rcu_node structure. (Or CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT is artificially set to a number smaller than CONFIG_NR_CPUS.) 2. The kernel is built with CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU. 3. A task running on a CPU associated with a given leaf rcu_node structure blocks while in an RCU read-side critical section -and- that CPU has not yet passed through a quiescent state for the current RCU grace period. This will cause the task to be queued on the leaf rcu_node's blocked_tasks[] array, in particular, on the element of this array corresponding to the current grace period. 4. Each of the remaining CPUs corresponding to this same leaf rcu_node structure pass through a quiescent state. However, the task is still in its RCU read-side critical section, so these quiescent states cannot be reported further up the rcu_node hierarchy. Nevertheless, all bits in the leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask field are now zero. 5. Each of the remaining CPUs go offline. (The events in step #4 and #5 can happen in any order as long as each CPU passes through a quiescent state before going offline.) 6. When the last CPU goes offline, __rcu_offline_cpu() will invoke rcu_preempt_offline_tasks(), which will move the task to the root rcu_node structure, but without reporting a quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy (and this failure to report a quiescent state is the bug). But because this leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask field is already zero and its ->block_tasks[] entries are all empty, force_quiescent_state() will skip this rcu_node structure. Therefore, grace periods are now hung. This patch abstracts some code out of rcu_read_unlock_special(), calling the result task_quiet() by analogy with cpu_quiet(), and invokes task_quiet() from both rcu_read_lock_special() and __rcu_offline_cpu(). Invoking task_quiet() from __rcu_offline_cpu() reports the quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy, fixing the bug. This ends up requiring a separate lock_class_key per level of the rcu_node hierarchy, which this patch also provides. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Accelerate grace period if last non-dynticked CPU Currently, rcu_needs_cpu() simply checks whether the current CPU has an outstanding RCU callback, which means that the last CPU to go into dyntick-idle mode might wait a few ticks for the relevant grace periods to complete. However, if all the other CPUs are in dyntick-idle mode, and if this CPU is in a quiescent state (which it is for RCU-bh and RCU-sched any time that we are considering going into dyntick-idle mode), then the grace period is instantly complete. This patch therefore repeatedly invokes the RCU grace-period machinery in order to force any needed grace periods to complete quickly. It does so a limited number of times in order to prevent starvation by an RCU callback function that might pass itself to call_rcu(). However, if any CPU other than the current one is not in dyntick-idle mode, fall back to simply checking (with fix to bug noted by Lai Jiangshan). Also, take advantage of last grace-period forcing, the opportunity to do so noted by Steve Rostedt. And apply simplified #ifdef condition suggested by Frederic Weisbecker. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Yield simpler The rcu_yield() code is amazing. It's there to avoid starvation of the system when lots of (boosting) work is to be done. Now looking at the code it's functionality is: Make the thread SCHED_OTHER and very nice, i.e. get it out of the way Arm a timer with 2 ticks schedule() Now if the system goes idle the rcu task returns, regains SCHED_FIFO and plugs on. If the systems stays busy the timer fires and wakes a per node kthread which in turn makes the per cpu thread SCHED_FIFO and brings it back on the cpu. For the boosting thread the "make it FIFO" bit is missing and it just runs some magic boost checks. Now this is a lot of code with extra threads and complexity. It's way simpler to let the tasks when they detect overload schedule away for 2 ticks and defer the normal wakeup as long as they are in yielded state and the cpu is not idle. That solves the same problem and the only difference is that when the cpu goes idle it's not guaranteed that the thread returns right away, but it won't be longer out than two ticks, so no harm is done. If that's an issue than it is way simpler just to wake the task from idle as RCU has callbacks there anyway.

rcu: Yield simpler The rcu_yield() code is amazing. It's there to avoid starvation of the system when lots of (boosting) work is to be done. Now looking at the code it's functionality is: Make the thread SCHED_OTHER and very nice, i.e. get it out of the way Arm a timer with 2 ticks schedule() Now if the system goes idle the rcu task returns, regains SCHED_FIFO and plugs on. If the systems stays busy the timer fires and wakes a per node kthread which in turn makes the per cpu thread SCHED_FIFO and brings it back on the cpu. For the boosting thread the "make it FIFO" bit is missing and it just runs some magic boost checks. Now this is a lot of code with extra threads and complexity. It's way simpler to let the tasks when they detect overload schedule away for 2 ticks and defer the normal wakeup as long as they are in yielded state and the cpu is not idle. That solves the same problem and the only difference is that when the cpu goes idle it's not guaranteed that the thread returns right away, but it won't be longer out than two ticks, so no harm is done. If that's an issue than it is way simpler just to wake the task from idle as RCU has callbacks there anyway.

rcu: Replace __get_cpu_var() uses __get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x). This calculates the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor based on an offset. Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current processors percpu area. __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when writing data or on the right side of an assignment. __get_cpu_var() is defined as : __get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on other platforms) to avoid the address calculation. this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu variables. This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that use the offset. Thereby address calcualtions are avoided and less registers are used when code is generated. At the end of the patchset all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed so the macro is removed too. The patchset includes passes over all arches as well. Once these operations are used throughout then specialized macros can be defined in non -x86 arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by f.e. using a global register that may be set to the per cpu base.

rcu: Process offlining and onlining only at grace-period start Races between CPU hotplug and grace periods can be difficult to resolve, so the ->onoff_mutex is used to exclude the two events. Unfortunately, this means that it is impossible for an outgoing CPU to perform the last bits of its offlining from its last pass through the idle loop, because sleeplocks cannot be acquired in that context. This commit avoids these problems by buffering online and offline events in a new ->qsmaskinitnext field in the leaf rcu_node structures. When a grace period starts, the events accumulated in this mask are applied to the ->qsmaskinit field, and, if needed, up the rcu_node tree. The special case of all CPUs corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node structure being offline while there are still elements in that structure's ->blkd_tasks list is handled using a new ->wait_blkd_tasks field. In this case, propagating the offline bits up the tree is deferred until the beginning of the grace period after all of the tasks have exited their RCU read-side critical sections and removed themselves from the list, at which point the ->wait_blkd_tasks flag is cleared. If one of that leaf rcu_node structure's CPUs comes back online before the list empties, then the ->wait_blkd_tasks flag is simply cleared. This of course means that RCU's notion of which CPUs are offline can be out of date. This is OK because RCU need only wait on CPUs that were online at the time that the grace period started. In addition, RCU's force-quiescent-state actions will handle the case where a CPU goes offline after the grace period starts. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

rcu: Have the RCU tracepoints use the tracepoint_string infrastructure Currently, RCU tracepoints save only a pointer to strings in the ring buffer. When displayed via the /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace file they are referenced like the printf "%s" that looks at the address in the ring buffer and prints out the string it points too.

rcu: Yield simpler The rcu_yield() code is amazing. It's there to avoid starvation of the system when lots of (boosting) work is to be done. Now looking at the code it's functionality is: Make the thread SCHED_OTHER and very nice, i.e. get it out of the way Arm a timer with 2 ticks schedule() Now if the system goes idle the rcu task returns, regains SCHED_FIFO and plugs on. If the systems stays busy the timer fires and wakes a per node kthread which in turn makes the per cpu thread SCHED_FIFO and brings it back on the cpu. For the boosting thread the "make it FIFO" bit is missing and it just runs some magic boost checks. Now this is a lot of code with extra threads and complexity. It's way simpler to let the tasks when they detect overload schedule away for 2 ticks and defer the normal wakeup as long as they are in yielded state and the cpu is not idle. That solves the same problem and the only difference is that when the cpu goes idle it's not guaranteed that the thread returns right away, but it won't be longer out than two ticks, so no harm is done. If that's an issue than it is way simpler just to wake the task from idle as RCU has callbacks there anyway.

struct task_struct *t = rnp->boost_kthread_task;
rcu: Process offlining and onlining only at grace-period start Races between CPU hotplug and grace periods can be difficult to resolve, so the ->onoff_mutex is used to exclude the two events. Unfortunately, this means that it is impossible for an outgoing CPU to perform the last bits of its offlining from its last pass through the idle loop, because sleeplocks cannot be acquired in that context. This commit avoids these problems by buffering online and offline events in a new ->qsmaskinitnext field in the leaf rcu_node structures. When a grace period starts, the events accumulated in this mask are applied to the ->qsmaskinit field, and, if needed, up the rcu_node tree. The special case of all CPUs corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node structure being offline while there are still elements in that structure's ->blkd_tasks list is handled using a new ->wait_blkd_tasks field. In this case, propagating the offline bits up the tree is deferred until the beginning of the grace period after all of the tasks have exited their RCU read-side critical sections and removed themselves from the list, at which point the ->wait_blkd_tasks flag is cleared. If one of that leaf rcu_node structure's CPUs comes back online before the list empties, then the ->wait_blkd_tasks flag is simply cleared. This of course means that RCU's notion of which CPUs are offline can be out of date. This is OK because RCU need only wait on CPUs that were online at the time that the grace period started. In addition, RCU's force-quiescent-state actions will handle the case where a CPU goes offline after the grace period starts. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

rcu: Correctly handle sparse possible cpus In many cases in the RCU tree code, we iterate over the set of cpus for a leaf node described by rcu_node::grplo and rcu_node::grphi, checking per-cpu data for each cpu in this range. However, if the set of possible cpus is sparse, some cpus described in this range are not possible, and thus no per-cpu region will have been allocated (or initialised) for them by the generic percpu code. Erroneous accesses to a per-cpu area for these !possible cpus may fault or may hit other data depending on the addressed generated when the erroneous per cpu offset is applied. In practice, both cases have been observed on arm64 hardware (the former being silent, but detectable with additional patches). To avoid issues resulting from this, we must iterate over the set of *possible* cpus for a given leaf node. This patch add a new helper, for_each_leaf_node_possible_cpu, to enable this. As iteration is often intertwined with rcu_node local bitmask manipulation, a new leaf_node_cpu_bit helper is added to make this simpler and more consistent. The RCU tree code is made to use both of these where appropriate. Without this patch, running reboot at a shell can result in an oops like: [ 3369.075979] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffffff8008b21b4c [ 3369.083881] pgd = ffffffc3ecdda000 [ 3369.087270] [ffffff8008b21b4c] *pgd=00000083eca48003, *pud=00000083eca48003, *pmd=0000000000000000 [ 3369.096222] Internal error: Oops: 96000007 [#1] PREEMPT SMP [ 3369.101781] Modules linked in: [ 3369.104825] CPU: 2 PID: 1817 Comm: NetworkManager Tainted: G W 4.6.0+ #3 [ 3369.121239] task: ffffffc0fa13e000 ti: ffffffc3eb940000 task.ti: ffffffc3eb940000 [ 3369.128708] PC is at sync_rcu_exp_select_cpus+0x188/0x510 [ 3369.134094] LR is at sync_rcu_exp_select_cpus+0x104/0x510 [ 3369.139479] pc : [<ffffff80081109a8>] lr : [<ffffff8008110924>] pstate: 200001c5 [ 3369.146860] sp : ffffffc3eb9435a0 [ 3369.150162] x29: ffffffc3eb9435a0 x28: ffffff8008be4f88 [ 3369.155465] x27: ffffff8008b66c80 x26: ffffffc3eceb2600 [ 3369.160767] x25: 0000000000000001 x24: ffffff8008be4f88 [ 3369.166070] x23: ffffff8008b51c3c x22: ffffff8008b66c80 [ 3369.171371] x21: 0000000000000001 x20: ffffff8008b21b40 [ 3369.176673] x19: ffffff8008b66c80 x18: 0000000000000000 [ 3369.181975] x17: 0000007fa951a010 x16: ffffff80086a30f0 [ 3369.187278] x15: 0000007fa9505590 x14: 0000000000000000 [ 3369.192580] x13: ffffff8008b51000 x12: ffffffc3eb940000 [ 3369.197882] x11: 0000000000000006 x10: ffffff8008b51b78 [ 3369.203184] x9 : 0000000000000001 x8 : ffffff8008be4000 [ 3369.208486] x7 : ffffff8008b21b40 x6 : 0000000000001003 [ 3369.213788] x5 : 0000000000000000 x4 : ffffff8008b27280 [ 3369.219090] x3 : ffffff8008b21b4c x2 : 0000000000000001 [ 3369.224406] x1 : 0000000000000001 x0 : 0000000000000140 ...

rcu: Yield simpler The rcu_yield() code is amazing. It's there to avoid starvation of the system when lots of (boosting) work is to be done.

If the systems stays busy the timer fires and wakes a per node kthread which in turn makes the per cpu thread SCHED_FIFO and brings it back on the cpu. For the boosting thread the "make it FIFO" bit is missing and it just runs some magic boost checks. Now this is a lot of code with extra threads and complexity. It's way simpler to let the tasks when they detect overload schedule away for 2 ticks and defer the normal wakeup as long as they are in yielded state and the cpu is not idle. That solves the same problem and the only difference is that when the cpu goes idle it's not guaranteed that the thread returns right away, but it won't be longer out than two ticks, so no harm is done. If that's an issue than it is way simpler just to wake the task from idle as RCU has callbacks there anyway.

rcu: Handle gpnum/completed wrap while dyntick idle Subtle race conditions can result if a CPU stays in dyntick-idle mode long enough for the ->gpnum and ->completed fields to wrap. For example, consider the following sequence of events: o CPU 1 encounters a quiescent state while waiting for grace period 5 to complete, but then enters dyntick-idle mode. o While CPU 1 is in dyntick-idle mode, the grace-period counters wrap around so that the grace period number is now 4. o Just as CPU 1 exits dyntick-idle mode, grace period 4 completes and grace period 5 begins. o The quiescent state that CPU 1 passed through during the old grace period 5 looks like it applies to the new grace period 5. Therefore, the new grace period 5 completes without CPU 1 having passed through a quiescent state. This could clearly be a fatal surprise to any long-running RCU read-side critical section that happened to be running on CPU 1 at the time. At one time, this was not a problem, given that it takes significant time for the grace-period counters to overflow even on 32-bit systems. However, with the advent of NO_HZ_FULL and SMP embedded systems, arbitrarily long idle periods are now becoming quite feasible. It is therefore time to close this race. This commit therefore avoids this race condition by having the quiescent-state forcing code detect when a CPU is falling too far behind, and setting a new rcu_data field ->gpwrap when this happens. Whenever this new ->gpwrap field is set, the CPU's ->gpnum and ->completed fields are known to be untrustworthy, and can be ignored, along with any associated quiescent states. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Precompute RCU_FAST_NO_HZ timer offsets When a CPU is entering dyntick-idle mode, tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() calls rcu_needs_cpu() see if RCU needs that CPU, and, if not, computes the next wakeup time based on the timer wheels. Only later, when actually entering the idle loop, rcu_prepare_for_idle() will be invoked. In some cases, rcu_prepare_for_idle() will post timers to wake the CPU back up. But all for naught: The next wakeup time for the CPU has already been computed, and posting a timer afterwards does not force that wakeup time to be recomputed. This means that rcu_prepare_for_idle()'s have no effect. This is not a problem on a busy system because something else will wake up the CPU soon enough. However, on lightly loaded systems, the CPU might stay asleep for a considerable length of time. If that CPU has a callback that the rest of the system is waiting on, the system might run very slowly or (in theory) even hang. This commit avoids this problem by having rcu_needs_cpu() give tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() an estimate of when RCU will need the CPU to wake back up, which tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() takes into account when programming the CPU's wakeup time. An alternative approach is for rcu_prepare_for_idle() to use hrtimers instead of normal timers, but timers are much more efficient than are hrtimers for frequently and repeatedly posting and cancelling a given timer, which is exactly what RCU_FAST_NO_HZ does.

rcu: Make RCU_FAST_NO_HZ handle timer migration The current RCU_FAST_NO_HZ assumes that timers do not migrate unless a CPU goes offline, in which case it assumes that the CPU will have to come out of dyntick-idle mode (cancelling the timer) in order to go offline. This is important because when RCU_FAST_NO_HZ permits a CPU to enter dyntick-idle mode despite having RCU callbacks pending, it posts a timer on that CPU to force a wakeup on that CPU. This wakeup ensures that the CPU will eventually handle the end of the grace period, including invoking its RCU callbacks. However, Pascal Chapperon's test setup shows that the timer handler rcu_idle_gp_timer_func() really does get invoked in some cases. This is problematic because this can cause the CPU that entered dyntick-idle mode despite still having RCU callbacks pending to remain in dyntick-idle mode indefinitely, which means that its RCU callbacks might never be invoked. This situation can result in grace-period delays or even system hangs, which matches Pascal's observations of slow boot-up and shutdown (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/5/142). See also the bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=806548 This commit therefore causes the "should never be invoked" timer handler rcu_idle_gp_timer_func() to use smp_call_function_single() to wake up the CPU for which the timer was intended, allowing that CPU to invoke its RCU callbacks in a timely manner.

rcu: Accelerate grace period if last non-dynticked CPU Currently, rcu_needs_cpu() simply checks whether the current CPU has an outstanding RCU callback, which means that the last CPU to go into dyntick-idle mode might wait a few ticks for the relevant grace periods to complete. However, if all the other CPUs are in dyntick-idle mode, and if this CPU is in a quiescent state (which it is for RCU-bh and RCU-sched any time that we are considering going into dyntick-idle mode), then the grace period is instantly complete. This patch therefore repeatedly invokes the RCU grace-period machinery in order to force any needed grace periods to complete quickly. It does so a limited number of times in order to prevent starvation by an RCU callback function that might pass itself to call_rcu(). However, if any CPU other than the current one is not in dyntick-idle mode, fall back to simply checking (with fix to bug noted by Lai Jiangshan). Also, take advantage of last grace-period forcing, the opportunity to do so noted by Steve Rostedt. And apply simplified #ifdef condition suggested by Frederic Weisbecker. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Make callers awaken grace-period kthread The rcu_start_gp_advanced() function currently uses irq_work_queue() to defer wakeups of the RCU grace-period kthread.

In theory, we could see a full grace-period hang, but rcutorture testing to date has seen only the tens-of-seconds stalls. Event tracing demonstrates that irq_work_queue() is being called repeatedly to no effect during these stalls: The "newreq" event appears repeatedly from a task that is not one of the grace-period kthreads. In theory, irq_work_queue() might be fixed to avoid this sort of issue, but RCU's requirements are unusual and it is quite straightforward to pass wake-up responsibility up through RCU's call chain, so that the wakeup happens when the offending locks are released.

The rcu_start_gp_advanced(), rcu_start_future_gp(), rcu_accelerate_cbs(), rcu_advance_cbs(), __note_gp_changes(), and rcu_start_gp() functions now return a boolean which indicates when a wake-up is needed.

rcu: Make rcu_nocb_poll an early_param instead of module_param The as-documented rcu_nocb_poll will fail to enable this feature for two reasons. (1) there is an extra "s" in the documented name which is not in the code, and (2) since it uses module_param, it really is expecting a prefix, akin to "rcutree.fanout_leaf" and the prefix isn't documented. However, there are several reasons why we might not want to simply fix the typo and add the prefix: 1) we'd end up with rcutree.rcu_nocb_poll, and rather probably make a change to rcutree.nocb_poll 2) if we did #1, then the prefix wouldn't be consistent with the rcu_nocbs=<cpumap> parameter (i.e. one with, one without prefix) 3) the use of module_param in a header file is less than desired, since it isn't immediately obvious that it will get processed via rcutree.c and get the prefix from that (although use of module_param_named() could clarify that.) 4) the implied export of /sys/module/rcutree/parameters/rcu_nocb_poll data to userspace via module_param() doesn't really buy us anything, as it is read-only and we can tell if it is enabled already without it, since there is a printk at early boot telling us so. In light of all that, just change it from a module_param() to an early_setup() call, and worry about adding it to /sys later on if we decide to allow a dynamic setting of it. Also change the variable to be tagged as read_mostly, since it will only ever be fiddled with at most, once at boot.

rcu: Use simple wait queues where possible in rcutree As of commit dae6e64d2bcfd ("rcu: Introduce proper blocking to no-CBs kthreads GP waits") the RCU subsystem started making use of wait queues.

Originally this was done for RT kernels[1], since we would get things like... BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/rtmutex.c:659 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 1, pid: 8, name: rcu_preempt Pid: 8, comm: rcu_preempt Not tainted Call Trace: [<ffffffff8106c8d0>] __might_sleep+0xd0/0xf0 [<ffffffff817d77b4>] rt_spin_lock+0x24/0x50 [<ffffffff8106fcf6>] __wake_up+0x36/0x70 [<ffffffff810c4542>] rcu_gp_kthread+0x4d2/0x680 [<ffffffff8105f910>] ? __init_waitqueue_head+0x50/0x50 [<ffffffff810c4070>] ? rcu_gp_fqs+0x80/0x80 [<ffffffff8105eabb>] kthread+0xdb/0xe0 [<ffffffff8106b912>] ? finish_task_switch+0x52/0x100 [<ffffffff817e0754>] kernel_thread_helper+0x4/0x10 [<ffffffff8105e9e0>] ? __init_kthread_worker+0x60/0x60 [<ffffffff817e0750>] ? gs_change+0xb/0xb ...and hence simple wait queues were deployed on RT out of necessity (as simple wait uses a raw lock), but mainline might as well take advantage of the more streamline support as well. [1] This is a carry forward of work from v3.10-rt; the original conversion was by Thomas on an earlier -rt version, and Sebastian extended it to additional post-3.10 added RCU waiters; here I've added a commit log and unified the RCU changes into one, and uprev'd it to match mainline RCU.

rcu: Parallelize and economize NOCB kthread wakeups An 80-CPU system with a context-switch-heavy workload can require so many NOCB kthread wakeups that the RCU grace-period kthreads spend several tens of percent of a CPU just awakening things. This clearly will not scale well: If you add enough CPUs, the RCU grace-period kthreads would get behind, increasing grace-period latency. To avoid this problem, this commit divides the NOCB kthreads into leaders and followers, where the grace-period kthreads awaken the leaders each of whom in turn awakens its followers. By default, the number of groups of kthreads is the square root of the number of CPUs, but this default may be overridden using the rcutree.rcu_nocb_leader_stride boot parameter. This reduces the number of wakeups done per grace period by the RCU grace-period kthread by the square root of the number of CPUs, but of course by shifting those wakeups to the leaders. In addition, because the leaders do grace periods on behalf of their respective followers, the number of wakeups of the followers decreases by up to a factor of two. Instead of being awakened once when new callbacks arrive and again at the end of the grace period, the followers are awakened only at the end of the grace period. For a numerical example, in a 4096-CPU system, the grace-period kthread would awaken 64 leaders, each of which would awaken its 63 followers at the end of the grace period. This compares favorably with the 79 wakeups for the grace-period kthread on an 80-CPU system. Reported-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

rcu: Make rcu_barrier() understand about missing rcuo kthreads Commit 35ce7f29a44a (rcu: Create rcuo kthreads only for onlined CPUs) avoids creating rcuo kthreads for CPUs that never come online. This fixes a bug in many instances of firmware: Instead of lying about their age, these systems instead lie about the number of CPUs that they have. Before commit 35ce7f29a44a, this could result in huge numbers of useless rcuo kthreads being created. It appears that experience indicates that I should have told the people suffering from this problem to fix their broken firmware, but I instead produced what turned out to be a partial fix. The missing piece supplied by this commit makes sure that rcu_barrier() knows not to post callbacks for no-CBs CPUs that have not yet come online, because otherwise rcu_barrier() will hang on systems having firmware that lies about the number of CPUs. It is tempting to simply have rcu_barrier() refuse to post a callback on any no-CBs CPU that does not have an rcuo kthread. This unfortunately does not work because rcu_barrier() is required to wait for all pending callbacks. It is therefore required to wait even for those callbacks that cannot possibly be invoked. Even if doing so hangs the system. Given that posting a callback to a no-CBs CPU that does not yet have an rcuo kthread can hang rcu_barrier(), It is tempting to report an error in this case. Unfortunately, this will result in false positives at boot time, when it is perfectly legal to post callbacks to the boot CPU before the scheduler has started, in other words, before it is legal to invoke rcu_barrier(). So this commit instead has rcu_barrier() avoid posting callbacks to CPUs having neither rcuo kthread nor pending callbacks, and has it complain bitterly if it finds CPUs having no rcuo kthread but some pending callbacks. And when rcu_barrier() does find CPUs having no rcuo kthread but pending callbacks, as noted earlier, it has no choice but to hang indefinitely.

Before commit 35ce7f29a44a, this could result in huge numbers of useless rcuo kthreads being created. It appears that experience indicates that I should have told the people suffering from this problem to fix their broken firmware, but I instead produced what turned out to be a partial fix. The missing piece supplied by this commit makes sure that rcu_barrier() knows not to post callbacks for no-CBs CPUs that have not yet come online, because otherwise rcu_barrier() will hang on systems having firmware that lies about the number of CPUs. It is tempting to simply have rcu_barrier() refuse to post a callback on any no-CBs CPU that does not have an rcuo kthread. This unfortunately does not work because rcu_barrier() is required to wait for all pending callbacks. It is therefore required to wait even for those callbacks that cannot possibly be invoked. Even if doing so hangs the system. Given that posting a callback to a no-CBs CPU that does not yet have an rcuo kthread can hang rcu_barrier(), It is tempting to report an error in this case. Unfortunately, this will result in false positives at boot time, when it is perfectly legal to post callbacks to the boot CPU before the scheduler has started, in other words, before it is legal to invoke rcu_barrier(). So this commit instead has rcu_barrier() avoid posting callbacks to CPUs having neither rcuo kthread nor pending callbacks, and has it complain bitterly if it finds CPUs having no rcuo kthread but some pending callbacks. And when rcu_barrier() does find CPUs having no rcuo kthread but pending callbacks, as noted earlier, it has no choice but to hang indefinitely.

The reason that call_rcu() needs to invoke the scheduler is to wake up the corresponding rcuo callback-offload kthread, which does the job of starting up a grace period and invoking the callbacks afterwards. One solution (championed on a related problem by Lai Jiangshan) is to simply defer the wakeup to some point where scheduler locks are no longer held. Since we don't want to unnecessarily incur the cost of such deferral, the task before us is threefold: 1. Determine when it is likely that a relevant scheduler lock is held. 2. Defer the wakeup in such cases. 3. Ensure that all deferred wakeups eventually happen, preferably sooner rather than later. We use irqs_disabled_flags() as a proxy for relevant scheduler locks being held. This works because the relevant locks are always acquired with interrupts disabled. We may defer more often than needed, but that is at least safe. The wakeup deferral is tracked via a new field in the per-CPU and per-RCU-flavor rcu_data structure, namely ->nocb_defer_wakeup. This flag is checked by the RCU core processing. The __rcu_pending() function now checks this flag, which causes rcu_check_callbacks() to initiate RCU core processing at each scheduling-clock interrupt where this flag is set. Of course this is not sufficient because scheduling-clock interrupts are often turned off (the things we used to be able to count on!). So the flags are also checked on entry to any state that RCU considers to be idle, which includes both NO_HZ_IDLE idle state and NO_HZ_FULL user-mode-execution state. This approach should allow call_rcu() to be invoked regardless of what locks you might be holding, the key word being "should". Reported-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Parallelize and economize NOCB kthread wakeups An 80-CPU system with a context-switch-heavy workload can require so many NOCB kthread wakeups that the RCU grace-period kthreads spend several tens of percent of a CPU just awakening things. This clearly will not scale well: If you add enough CPUs, the RCU grace-period kthreads would get behind, increasing grace-period latency. To avoid this problem, this commit divides the NOCB kthreads into leaders and followers, where the grace-period kthreads awaken the leaders each of whom in turn awakens its followers. By default, the number of groups of kthreads is the square root of the number of CPUs, but this default may be overridden using the rcutree.rcu_nocb_leader_stride boot parameter. This reduces the number of wakeups done per grace period by the RCU grace-period kthread by the square root of the number of CPUs, but of course by shifting those wakeups to the leaders. In addition, because the leaders do grace periods on behalf of their respective followers, the number of wakeups of the followers decreases by up to a factor of two. Instead of being awakened once when new callbacks arrive and again at the end of the grace period, the followers are awakened only at the end of the grace period. For a numerical example, in a 4096-CPU system, the grace-period kthread would awaken 64 leaders, each of which would awaken its 63 followers at the end of the grace period. This compares favorably with the 79 wakeups for the grace-period kthread on an 80-CPU system. Reported-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The reason that call_rcu() needs to invoke the scheduler is to wake up the corresponding rcuo callback-offload kthread, which does the job of starting up a grace period and invoking the callbacks afterwards. One solution (championed on a related problem by Lai Jiangshan) is to simply defer the wakeup to some point where scheduler locks are no longer held. Since we don't want to unnecessarily incur the cost of such deferral, the task before us is threefold: 1. Determine when it is likely that a relevant scheduler lock is held. 2. Defer the wakeup in such cases. 3. Ensure that all deferred wakeups eventually happen, preferably sooner rather than later. We use irqs_disabled_flags() as a proxy for relevant scheduler locks being held. This works because the relevant locks are always acquired with interrupts disabled. We may defer more often than needed, but that is at least safe. The wakeup deferral is tracked via a new field in the per-CPU and per-RCU-flavor rcu_data structure, namely ->nocb_defer_wakeup. This flag is checked by the RCU core processing. The __rcu_pending() function now checks this flag, which causes rcu_check_callbacks() to initiate RCU core processing at each scheduling-clock interrupt where this flag is set. Of course this is not sufficient because scheduling-clock interrupts are often turned off (the things we used to be able to count on!). So the flags are also checked on entry to any state that RCU considers to be idle, which includes both NO_HZ_IDLE idle state and NO_HZ_FULL user-mode-execution state. This approach should allow call_rcu() to be invoked regardless of what locks you might be holding, the key word being "should". Reported-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Parallelize and economize NOCB kthread wakeups An 80-CPU system with a context-switch-heavy workload can require so many NOCB kthread wakeups that the RCU grace-period kthreads spend several tens of percent of a CPU just awakening things. This clearly will not scale well: If you add enough CPUs, the RCU grace-period kthreads would get behind, increasing grace-period latency. To avoid this problem, this commit divides the NOCB kthreads into leaders and followers, where the grace-period kthreads awaken the leaders each of whom in turn awakens its followers. By default, the number of groups of kthreads is the square root of the number of CPUs, but this default may be overridden using the rcutree.rcu_nocb_leader_stride boot parameter. This reduces the number of wakeups done per grace period by the RCU grace-period kthread by the square root of the number of CPUs, but of course by shifting those wakeups to the leaders. In addition, because the leaders do grace periods on behalf of their respective followers, the number of wakeups of the followers decreases by up to a factor of two. Instead of being awakened once when new callbacks arrive and again at the end of the grace period, the followers are awakened only at the end of the grace period. For a numerical example, in a 4096-CPU system, the grace-period kthread would awaken 64 leaders, each of which would awaken its 63 followers at the end of the grace period. This compares favorably with the 79 wakeups for the grace-period kthread on an 80-CPU system. Reported-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The reason that call_rcu() needs to invoke the scheduler is to wake up the corresponding rcuo callback-offload kthread, which does the job of starting up a grace period and invoking the callbacks afterwards. One solution (championed on a related problem by Lai Jiangshan) is to simply defer the wakeup to some point where scheduler locks are no longer held. Since we don't want to unnecessarily incur the cost of such deferral, the task before us is threefold: 1. Determine when it is likely that a relevant scheduler lock is held. 2. Defer the wakeup in such cases. 3. Ensure that all deferred wakeups eventually happen, preferably sooner rather than later. We use irqs_disabled_flags() as a proxy for relevant scheduler locks being held. This works because the relevant locks are always acquired with interrupts disabled. We may defer more often than needed, but that is at least safe. The wakeup deferral is tracked via a new field in the per-CPU and per-RCU-flavor rcu_data structure, namely ->nocb_defer_wakeup. This flag is checked by the RCU core processing. The __rcu_pending() function now checks this flag, which causes rcu_check_callbacks() to initiate RCU core processing at each scheduling-clock interrupt where this flag is set. Of course this is not sufficient because scheduling-clock interrupts are often turned off (the things we used to be able to count on!). So the flags are also checked on entry to any state that RCU considers to be idle, which includes both NO_HZ_IDLE idle state and NO_HZ_FULL user-mode-execution state. This approach should allow call_rcu() to be invoked regardless of what locks you might be holding, the key word being "should". Reported-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

The reason that call_rcu() needs to invoke the scheduler is to wake up the corresponding rcuo callback-offload kthread, which does the job of starting up a grace period and invoking the callbacks afterwards. One solution (championed on a related problem by Lai Jiangshan) is to simply defer the wakeup to some point where scheduler locks are no longer held. Since we don't want to unnecessarily incur the cost of such deferral, the task before us is threefold: 1. Determine when it is likely that a relevant scheduler lock is held. 2. Defer the wakeup in such cases. 3. Ensure that all deferred wakeups eventually happen, preferably sooner rather than later. We use irqs_disabled_flags() as a proxy for relevant scheduler locks being held. This works because the relevant locks are always acquired with interrupts disabled. We may defer more often than needed, but that is at least safe. The wakeup deferral is tracked via a new field in the per-CPU and per-RCU-flavor rcu_data structure, namely ->nocb_defer_wakeup. This flag is checked by the RCU core processing. The __rcu_pending() function now checks this flag, which causes rcu_check_callbacks() to initiate RCU core processing at each scheduling-clock interrupt where this flag is set. Of course this is not sufficient because scheduling-clock interrupts are often turned off (the things we used to be able to count on!). So the flags are also checked on entry to any state that RCU considers to be idle, which includes both NO_HZ_IDLE idle state and NO_HZ_FULL user-mode-execution state. This approach should allow call_rcu() to be invoked regardless of what locks you might be holding, the key word being "should". Reported-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

The reason that call_rcu() needs to invoke the scheduler is to wake up the corresponding rcuo callback-offload kthread, which does the job of starting up a grace period and invoking the callbacks afterwards. One solution (championed on a related problem by Lai Jiangshan) is to simply defer the wakeup to some point where scheduler locks are no longer held. Since we don't want to unnecessarily incur the cost of such deferral, the task before us is threefold: 1. Determine when it is likely that a relevant scheduler lock is held. 2. Defer the wakeup in such cases. 3. Ensure that all deferred wakeups eventually happen, preferably sooner rather than later. We use irqs_disabled_flags() as a proxy for relevant scheduler locks being held. This works because the relevant locks are always acquired with interrupts disabled. We may defer more often than needed, but that is at least safe. The wakeup deferral is tracked via a new field in the per-CPU and per-RCU-flavor rcu_data structure, namely ->nocb_defer_wakeup. This flag is checked by the RCU core processing. The __rcu_pending() function now checks this flag, which causes rcu_check_callbacks() to initiate RCU core processing at each scheduling-clock interrupt where this flag is set. Of course this is not sufficient because scheduling-clock interrupts are often turned off (the things we used to be able to count on!). So the flags are also checked on entry to any state that RCU considers to be idle, which includes both NO_HZ_IDLE idle state and NO_HZ_FULL user-mode-execution state. This approach should allow call_rcu() to be invoked regardless of what locks you might be holding, the key word being "should". Reported-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Make callers awaken grace-period kthread The rcu_start_gp_advanced() function currently uses irq_work_queue() to defer wakeups of the RCU grace-period kthread. This deferring is necessary to avoid RCU-scheduler deadlocks involving the rcu_node structure's lock, meaning that RCU cannot call any of the scheduler's wake-up functions while holding one of these locks. Unfortunately, the second and subsequent calls to irq_work_queue() are ignored, and the first call will be ignored (aside from queuing the work item) if the scheduler-clock tick is turned off. This is OK for many uses, especially those where irq_work_queue() is called from an interrupt or softirq handler, because in those cases the scheduler-clock-tick state will be re-evaluated, which will turn the scheduler-clock tick back on. On the next tick, any deferred work will then be processed. However, this strategy does not always work for RCU, which can be invoked at process level from idle CPUs. In this case, the tick might never be turned back on, indefinitely defering a grace-period start request. Note that the RCU CPU stall detector cannot see this condition, because there is no RCU grace period in progress. Therefore, we can (and do!) see long tens-of-seconds stalls in grace-period handling. In theory, we could see a full grace-period hang, but rcutorture testing to date has seen only the tens-of-seconds stalls. Event tracing demonstrates that irq_work_queue() is being called repeatedly to no effect during these stalls: The "newreq" event appears repeatedly from a task that is not one of the grace-period kthreads. In theory, irq_work_queue() might be fixed to avoid this sort of issue, but RCU's requirements are unusual and it is quite straightforward to pass wake-up responsibility up through RCU's call chain, so that the wakeup happens when the offending locks are released. This commit therefore makes this change. The rcu_start_gp_advanced(), rcu_start_future_gp(), rcu_accelerate_cbs(), rcu_advance_cbs(), __note_gp_changes(), and rcu_start_gp() functions now return a boolean which indicates when a wake-up is needed. A new rcu_gp_kthread_wake() does the wakeup when it is necessary and safe to do so: No self-wakes, no wake-ups if the ->gp_flags field indicates there is no need (as in someone else did the wake-up before we got around to it), and no wake-ups before the grace-period kthread has been created.

rcu: Have the RCU tracepoints use the tracepoint_string infrastructure Currently, RCU tracepoints save only a pointer to strings in the ring buffer. When displayed via the /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace file they are referenced like the printf "%s" that looks at the address in the ring buffer and prints out the string it points too. This requires that the strings are constant and persistent in the kernel. The problem with this is for tools like trace-cmd and perf that read the binary data from the buffers but have no access to the kernel memory to find out what string is represented by the address in the buffer. By using the tracepoint_string infrastructure, the RCU tracepoint strings can be exported such that userspace tools can map the addresses to the strings. # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/printk_formats 0xffffffff81a4a0e8 : "rcu_preempt" 0xffffffff81a4a0f4 : "rcu_bh" 0xffffffff81a4a100 : "rcu_sched" 0xffffffff818437a0 : "cpuqs" 0xffffffff818437a6 : "rcu_sched" 0xffffffff818437a0 : "cpuqs" 0xffffffff818437b0 : "rcu_bh" 0xffffffff818437b7 : "Start context switch" 0xffffffff818437cc : "End context switch" 0xffffffff818437a0 : "cpuqs" [...] Now userspaces tools can display: rcu_utilization: Start context switch rcu_dyntick: Start 1 0 rcu_utilization: End context switch rcu_batch_start: rcu_preempt CBs=0/5 bl=10 rcu_dyntick: End 0 140000000000000 rcu_invoke_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880071c0d600 func=proc_i_callback rcu_invoke_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880077b5b230 func=__d_free rcu_dyntick: Start 140000000000000 0 rcu_invoke_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880077563980 func=file_free_rcu rcu_batch_end: rcu_preempt CBs-invoked=3 idle=>c<>c<>c<>c< rcu_utilization: End RCU core rcu_grace_period: rcu_preempt 9741 start rcu_dyntick: Start 1 0 rcu_dyntick: End 0 140000000000000 rcu_dyntick: Start 140000000000000 0 Instead of: rcu_utilization: ffffffff81843110 rcu_future_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 9939 9940 0 0 3 ffffffff81842f32 rcu_batch_start: ffffffff81842f1d CBs=0/4 bl=10 rcu_future_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 9939 9940 0 0 3 ffffffff81842f3c rcu_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 ffffffff81842f80 rcu_invoke_callback: ffffffff81842f1d rhp=0xffff88007888aac0 func=file_free_rcu rcu_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 ffffffff81842f95 rcu_invoke_callback: ffffffff81842f1d rhp=0xffff88006aeb4600 func=proc_i_callback rcu_future_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 9939 9940 0 0 3 ffffffff81842f32 rcu_future_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 9939 9940 0 0 3 ffffffff81842f3c rcu_invoke_callback: ffffffff81842f1d rhp=0xffff880071cb9fc0 func=__d_free rcu_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 ffffffff81842f80 rcu_invoke_callback: ffffffff81842f1d rhp=0xffff88007888ae80 func=file_free_rcu rcu_batch_end: ffffffff81842f1d CBs-invoked=4 idle=>c<>c<>c<>c< rcu_utilization: ffffffff8184311f Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

rcu: Use simple wait queues where possible in rcutree As of commit dae6e64d2bcfd ("rcu: Introduce proper blocking to no-CBs kthreads GP waits") the RCU subsystem started making use of wait queues. Here we convert all additions of RCU wait queues to use simple wait queues, since they don't need the extra overhead of the full wait queue features. Originally this was done for RT kernels[1], since we would get things like... BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/rtmutex.c:659 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 1, pid: 8, name: rcu_preempt Pid: 8, comm: rcu_preempt Not tainted Call Trace: [<ffffffff8106c8d0>] __might_sleep+0xd0/0xf0 [<ffffffff817d77b4>] rt_spin_lock+0x24/0x50 [<ffffffff8106fcf6>] __wake_up+0x36/0x70 [<ffffffff810c4542>] rcu_gp_kthread+0x4d2/0x680 [<ffffffff8105f910>] ? __init_waitqueue_head+0x50/0x50 [<ffffffff810c4070>] ? rcu_gp_fqs+0x80/0x80 [<ffffffff8105eabb>] kthread+0xdb/0xe0 [<ffffffff8106b912>] ? finish_task_switch+0x52/0x100 [<ffffffff817e0754>] kernel_thread_helper+0x4/0x10 [<ffffffff8105e9e0>] ? __init_kthread_worker+0x60/0x60 [<ffffffff817e0750>] ? gs_change+0xb/0xb ...and hence simple wait queues were deployed on RT out of necessity (as simple wait uses a raw lock), but mainline might as well take advantage of the more streamline support as well. [1] This is a carry forward of work from v3.10-rt; the original conversion was by Thomas on an earlier -rt version, and Sebastian extended it to additional post-3.10 added RCU waiters; here I've added a commit log and unified the RCU changes into one, and uprev'd it to match mainline RCU.

rcu: Have the RCU tracepoints use the tracepoint_string infrastructure Currently, RCU tracepoints save only a pointer to strings in the ring buffer. When displayed via the /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace file they are referenced like the printf "%s" that looks at the address in the ring buffer and prints out the string it points too. This requires that the strings are constant and persistent in the kernel.

rcu: Parallelize and economize NOCB kthread wakeups An 80-CPU system with a context-switch-heavy workload can require so many NOCB kthread wakeups that the RCU grace-period kthreads spend several tens of percent of a CPU just awakening things. This clearly will not scale well: If you add enough CPUs, the RCU grace-period kthreads would get behind, increasing grace-period latency. To avoid this problem, this commit divides the NOCB kthreads into leaders and followers, where the grace-period kthreads awaken the leaders each of whom in turn awakens its followers. By default, the number of groups of kthreads is the square root of the number of CPUs, but this default may be overridden using the rcutree.rcu_nocb_leader_stride boot parameter. This reduces the number of wakeups done per grace period by the RCU grace-period kthread by the square root of the number of CPUs, but of course by shifting those wakeups to the leaders. In addition, because the leaders do grace periods on behalf of their respective followers, the number of wakeups of the followers decreases by up to a factor of two. Instead of being awakened once when new callbacks arrive and again at the end of the grace period, the followers are awakened only at the end of the grace period. For a numerical example, in a 4096-CPU system, the grace-period kthread would awaken 64 leaders, each of which would awaken its 63 followers at the end of the grace period. This compares favorably with the 79 wakeups for the grace-period kthread on an 80-CPU system. Reported-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

rcu: Use simple wait queues where possible in rcutree As of commit dae6e64d2bcfd ("rcu: Introduce proper blocking to no-CBs kthreads GP waits") the RCU subsystem started making use of wait queues. Here we convert all additions of RCU wait queues to use simple wait queues, since they don't need the extra overhead of the full wait queue features. Originally this was done for RT kernels[1], since we would get things like... BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/rtmutex.c:659 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 1, pid: 8, name: rcu_preempt Pid: 8, comm: rcu_preempt Not tainted Call Trace: [<ffffffff8106c8d0>] __might_sleep+0xd0/0xf0 [<ffffffff817d77b4>] rt_spin_lock+0x24/0x50 [<ffffffff8106fcf6>] __wake_up+0x36/0x70 [<ffffffff810c4542>] rcu_gp_kthread+0x4d2/0x680 [<ffffffff8105f910>] ? __init_waitqueue_head+0x50/0x50 [<ffffffff810c4070>] ? rcu_gp_fqs+0x80/0x80 [<ffffffff8105eabb>] kthread+0xdb/0xe0 [<ffffffff8106b912>] ? finish_task_switch+0x52/0x100 [<ffffffff817e0754>] kernel_thread_helper+0x4/0x10 [<ffffffff8105e9e0>] ? __init_kthread_worker+0x60/0x60 [<ffffffff817e0750>] ? gs_change+0xb/0xb ...and hence simple wait queues were deployed on RT out of necessity (as simple wait uses a raw lock), but mainline might as well take advantage of the more streamline support as well. [1] This is a carry forward of work from v3.10-rt; the original conversion was by Thomas on an earlier -rt version, and Sebastian extended it to additional post-3.10 added RCU waiters; here I've added a commit log and unified the RCU changes into one, and uprev'd it to match mainline RCU.

rcu: Parallelize and economize NOCB kthread wakeups An 80-CPU system with a context-switch-heavy workload can require so many NOCB kthread wakeups that the RCU grace-period kthreads spend several tens of percent of a CPU just awakening things. This clearly will not scale well: If you add enough CPUs, the RCU grace-period kthreads would get behind, increasing grace-period latency. To avoid this problem, this commit divides the NOCB kthreads into leaders and followers, where the grace-period kthreads awaken the leaders each of whom in turn awakens its followers. By default, the number of groups of kthreads is the square root of the number of CPUs, but this default may be overridden using the rcutree.rcu_nocb_leader_stride boot parameter. This reduces the number of wakeups done per grace period by the RCU grace-period kthread by the square root of the number of CPUs, but of course by shifting those wakeups to the leaders. In addition, because the leaders do grace periods on behalf of their respective followers, the number of wakeups of the followers decreases by up to a factor of two. Instead of being awakened once when new callbacks arrive and again at the end of the grace period, the followers are awakened only at the end of the grace period. For a numerical example, in a 4096-CPU system, the grace-period kthread would awaken 64 leaders, each of which would awaken its 63 followers at the end of the grace period.

rcu: Use simple wait queues where possible in rcutree As of commit dae6e64d2bcfd ("rcu: Introduce proper blocking to no-CBs kthreads GP waits") the RCU subsystem started making use of wait queues. Here we convert all additions of RCU wait queues to use simple wait queues, since they don't need the extra overhead of the full wait queue features. Originally this was done for RT kernels[1], since we would get things like...

The reason that call_rcu() needs to invoke the scheduler is to wake up the corresponding rcuo callback-offload kthread, which does the job of starting up a grace period and invoking the callbacks afterwards. One solution (championed on a related problem by Lai Jiangshan) is to simply defer the wakeup to some point where scheduler locks are no longer held. Since we don't want to unnecessarily incur the cost of such deferral, the task before us is threefold: 1. Determine when it is likely that a relevant scheduler lock is held. 2. Defer the wakeup in such cases. 3. Ensure that all deferred wakeups eventually happen, preferably sooner rather than later. We use irqs_disabled_flags() as a proxy for relevant scheduler locks being held. This works because the relevant locks are always acquired with interrupts disabled. We may defer more often than needed, but that is at least safe. The wakeup deferral is tracked via a new field in the per-CPU and per-RCU-flavor rcu_data structure, namely ->nocb_defer_wakeup. This flag is checked by the RCU core processing. The __rcu_pending() function now checks this flag, which causes rcu_check_callbacks() to initiate RCU core processing at each scheduling-clock interrupt where this flag is set. Of course this is not sufficient because scheduling-clock interrupts are often turned off (the things we used to be able to count on!). So the flags are also checked on entry to any state that RCU considers to be idle, which includes both NO_HZ_IDLE idle state and NO_HZ_FULL user-mode-execution state. This approach should allow call_rcu() to be invoked regardless of what locks you might be holding, the key word being "should". Reported-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

The reason that call_rcu() needs to invoke the scheduler is to wake up the corresponding rcuo callback-offload kthread, which does the job of starting up a grace period and invoking the callbacks afterwards. One solution (championed on a related problem by Lai Jiangshan) is to simply defer the wakeup to some point where scheduler locks are no longer held. Since we don't want to unnecessarily incur the cost of such deferral, the task before us is threefold: 1. Determine when it is likely that a relevant scheduler lock is held. 2. Defer the wakeup in such cases. 3. Ensure that all deferred wakeups eventually happen, preferably sooner rather than later. We use irqs_disabled_flags() as a proxy for relevant scheduler locks being held. This works because the relevant locks are always acquired with interrupts disabled. We may defer more often than needed, but that is at least safe. The wakeup deferral is tracked via a new field in the per-CPU and per-RCU-flavor rcu_data structure, namely ->nocb_defer_wakeup. This flag is checked by the RCU core processing. The __rcu_pending() function now checks this flag, which causes rcu_check_callbacks() to initiate RCU core processing at each scheduling-clock interrupt where this flag is set. Of course this is not sufficient because scheduling-clock interrupts are often turned off (the things we used to be able to count on!). So the flags are also checked on entry to any state that RCU considers to be idle, which includes both NO_HZ_IDLE idle state and NO_HZ_FULL user-mode-execution state. This approach should allow call_rcu() to be invoked regardless of what locks you might be holding, the key word being "should". Reported-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

The reason that call_rcu() needs to invoke the scheduler is to wake up the corresponding rcuo callback-offload kthread, which does the job of starting up a grace period and invoking the callbacks afterwards. One solution (championed on a related problem by Lai Jiangshan) is to simply defer the wakeup to some point where scheduler locks are no longer held. Since we don't want to unnecessarily incur the cost of such deferral, the task before us is threefold: 1. Determine when it is likely that a relevant scheduler lock is held. 2. Defer the wakeup in such cases. 3. Ensure that all deferred wakeups eventually happen, preferably sooner rather than later. We use irqs_disabled_flags() as a proxy for relevant scheduler locks being held. This works because the relevant locks are always acquired with interrupts disabled. We may defer more often than needed, but that is at least safe. The wakeup deferral is tracked via a new field in the per-CPU and per-RCU-flavor rcu_data structure, namely ->nocb_defer_wakeup. This flag is checked by the RCU core processing. The __rcu_pending() function now checks this flag, which causes rcu_check_callbacks() to initiate RCU core processing at each scheduling-clock interrupt where this flag is set. Of course this is not sufficient because scheduling-clock interrupts are often turned off (the things we used to be able to count on!). So the flags are also checked on entry to any state that RCU considers to be idle, which includes both NO_HZ_IDLE idle state and NO_HZ_FULL user-mode-execution state. This approach should allow call_rcu() to be invoked regardless of what locks you might be holding, the key word being "should". Reported-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

The reason that call_rcu() needs to invoke the scheduler is to wake up the corresponding rcuo callback-offload kthread, which does the job of starting up a grace period and invoking the callbacks afterwards. One solution (championed on a related problem by Lai Jiangshan) is to simply defer the wakeup to some point where scheduler locks are no longer held. Since we don't want to unnecessarily incur the cost of such deferral, the task before us is threefold: 1. Determine when it is likely that a relevant scheduler lock is held. 2. Defer the wakeup in such cases. 3. Ensure that all deferred wakeups eventually happen, preferably sooner rather than later. We use irqs_disabled_flags() as a proxy for relevant scheduler locks being held. This works because the relevant locks are always acquired with interrupts disabled. We may defer more often than needed, but that is at least safe. The wakeup deferral is tracked via a new field in the per-CPU and per-RCU-flavor rcu_data structure, namely ->nocb_defer_wakeup. This flag is checked by the RCU core processing. The __rcu_pending() function now checks this flag, which causes rcu_check_callbacks() to initiate RCU core processing at each scheduling-clock interrupt where this flag is set. Of course this is not sufficient because scheduling-clock interrupts are often turned off (the things we used to be able to count on!). So the flags are also checked on entry to any state that RCU considers to be idle, which includes both NO_HZ_IDLE idle state and NO_HZ_FULL user-mode-execution state. This approach should allow call_rcu() to be invoked regardless of what locks you might be holding, the key word being "should". Reported-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Use simple wait queues where possible in rcutree As of commit dae6e64d2bcfd ("rcu: Introduce proper blocking to no-CBs kthreads GP waits") the RCU subsystem started making use of wait queues. Here we convert all additions of RCU wait queues to use simple wait queues, since they don't need the extra overhead of the full wait queue features. Originally this was done for RT kernels[1], since we would get things like... BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/rtmutex.c:659 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 1, pid: 8, name: rcu_preempt Pid: 8, comm: rcu_preempt Not tainted Call Trace: [<ffffffff8106c8d0>] __might_sleep+0xd0/0xf0 [<ffffffff817d77b4>] rt_spin_lock+0x24/0x50 [<ffffffff8106fcf6>] __wake_up+0x36/0x70 [<ffffffff810c4542>] rcu_gp_kthread+0x4d2/0x680 [<ffffffff8105f910>] ? __init_waitqueue_head+0x50/0x50 [<ffffffff810c4070>] ? rcu_gp_fqs+0x80/0x80 [<ffffffff8105eabb>] kthread+0xdb/0xe0 [<ffffffff8106b912>] ? finish_task_switch+0x52/0x100 [<ffffffff817e0754>] kernel_thread_helper+0x4/0x10 [<ffffffff8105e9e0>] ? __init_kthread_worker+0x60/0x60 [<ffffffff817e0750>] ? gs_change+0xb/0xb ...and hence simple wait queues were deployed on RT out of necessity (as simple wait uses a raw lock), but mainline might as well take advantage of the more streamline support as well. [1] This is a carry forward of work from v3.10-rt; the original conversion was by Thomas on an earlier -rt version, and Sebastian extended it to additional post-3.10 added RCU waiters; here I've added a commit log and unified the RCU changes into one, and uprev'd it to match mainline RCU.

rcu: Parallelize and economize NOCB kthread wakeups An 80-CPU system with a context-switch-heavy workload can require so many NOCB kthread wakeups that the RCU grace-period kthreads spend several tens of percent of a CPU just awakening things. This clearly will not scale well: If you add enough CPUs, the RCU grace-period kthreads would get behind, increasing grace-period latency. To avoid this problem, this commit divides the NOCB kthreads into leaders and followers, where the grace-period kthreads awaken the leaders each of whom in turn awakens its followers. By default, the number of groups of kthreads is the square root of the number of CPUs, but this default may be overridden using the rcutree.rcu_nocb_leader_stride boot parameter. This reduces the number of wakeups done per grace period by the RCU grace-period kthread by the square root of the number of CPUs, but of course by shifting those wakeups to the leaders. In addition, because the leaders do grace periods on behalf of their respective followers, the number of wakeups of the followers decreases by up to a factor of two. Instead of being awakened once when new callbacks arrive and again at the end of the grace period, the followers are awakened only at the end of the grace period. For a numerical example, in a 4096-CPU system, the grace-period kthread would awaken 64 leaders, each of which would awaken its 63 followers at the end of the grace period. This compares favorably with the 79 wakeups for the grace-period kthread on an 80-CPU system. Reported-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

In addition, because the leaders do grace periods on behalf of their respective followers, the number of wakeups of the followers decreases by up to a factor of two. Instead of being awakened once when new callbacks arrive and again at the end of the grace period, the followers are awakened only at the end of the grace period. For a numerical example, in a 4096-CPU system, the grace-period kthread would awaken 64 leaders, each of which would awaken its 63 followers at the end of the grace period. This compares favorably with the 79 wakeups for the grace-period kthread on an 80-CPU system. Reported-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

rcu: Parallelize and economize NOCB kthread wakeups An 80-CPU system with a context-switch-heavy workload can require so many NOCB kthread wakeups that the RCU grace-period kthreads spend several tens of percent of a CPU just awakening things. This clearly will not scale well: If you add enough CPUs, the RCU grace-period kthreads would get behind, increasing grace-period latency. To avoid this problem, this commit divides the NOCB kthreads into leaders and followers, where the grace-period kthreads awaken the leaders each of whom in turn awakens its followers. By default, the number of groups of kthreads is the square root of the number of CPUs, but this default may be overridden using the rcutree.rcu_nocb_leader_stride boot parameter. This reduces the number of wakeups done per grace period by the RCU grace-period kthread by the square root of the number of CPUs, but of course by shifting those wakeups to the leaders. In addition, because the leaders do grace periods on behalf of their respective followers, the number of wakeups of the followers decreases by up to a factor of two.

rcu: Make rcu_barrier() understand about missing rcuo kthreads Commit 35ce7f29a44a (rcu: Create rcuo kthreads only for onlined CPUs) avoids creating rcuo kthreads for CPUs that never come online. This fixes a bug in many instances of firmware: Instead of lying about their age, these systems instead lie about the number of CPUs that they have. Before commit 35ce7f29a44a, this could result in huge numbers of useless rcuo kthreads being created. It appears that experience indicates that I should have told the people suffering from this problem to fix their broken firmware, but I instead produced what turned out to be a partial fix. The missing piece supplied by this commit makes sure that rcu_barrier() knows not to post callbacks for no-CBs CPUs that have not yet come online, because otherwise rcu_barrier() will hang on systems having firmware that lies about the number of CPUs. It is tempting to simply have rcu_barrier() refuse to post a callback on any no-CBs CPU that does not have an rcuo kthread. This unfortunately does not work because rcu_barrier() is required to wait for all pending callbacks. It is therefore required to wait even for those callbacks that cannot possibly be invoked. Even if doing so hangs the system. Given that posting a callback to a no-CBs CPU that does not yet have an rcuo kthread can hang rcu_barrier(), It is tempting to report an error in this case. Unfortunately, this will result in false positives at boot time, when it is perfectly legal to post callbacks to the boot CPU before the scheduler has started, in other words, before it is legal to invoke rcu_barrier(). So this commit instead has rcu_barrier() avoid posting callbacks to CPUs having neither rcuo kthread nor pending callbacks, and has it complain bitterly if it finds CPUs having no rcuo kthread but some pending callbacks. And when rcu_barrier() does find CPUs having no rcuo kthread but pending callbacks, as noted earlier, it has no choice but to hang indefinitely.

rcu: Use simple wait queues where possible in rcutree As of commit dae6e64d2bcfd ("rcu: Introduce proper blocking to no-CBs kthreads GP waits") the RCU subsystem started making use of wait queues. Here we convert all additions of RCU wait queues to use simple wait queues, since they don't need the extra overhead of the full wait queue features. Originally this was done for RT kernels[1], since we would get things like...

rcu: Do not call rcu_nocb_gp_cleanup() while holding rnp->lock rcu_nocb_gp_cleanup() is called while holding rnp->lock. Currently, this is okay because the wake_up_all() in rcu_nocb_gp_cleanup() will not enable the IRQs. lockdep is happy. By switching over using swait this is not true anymore. swake_up_all() enables the IRQs while processing the waiters. __do_softirq() can now run and will eventually call rcu_process_callbacks() which wants to grap nrp->lock. Let's move the rcu_nocb_gp_cleanup() call outside the lock before we switch over to swait.

The reason that call_rcu() needs to invoke the scheduler is to wake up the corresponding rcuo callback-offload kthread, which does the job of starting up a grace period and invoking the callbacks afterwards. One solution (championed on a related problem by Lai Jiangshan) is to simply defer the wakeup to some point where scheduler locks are no longer held. Since we don't want to unnecessarily incur the cost of such deferral, the task before us is threefold: 1. Determine when it is likely that a relevant scheduler lock is held. 2. Defer the wakeup in such cases. 3. Ensure that all deferred wakeups eventually happen, preferably sooner rather than later. We use irqs_disabled_flags() as a proxy for relevant scheduler locks being held. This works because the relevant locks are always acquired with interrupts disabled. We may defer more often than needed, but that is at least safe. The wakeup deferral is tracked via a new field in the per-CPU and per-RCU-flavor rcu_data structure, namely ->nocb_defer_wakeup. This flag is checked by the RCU core processing. The __rcu_pending() function now checks this flag, which causes rcu_check_callbacks() to initiate RCU core processing at each scheduling-clock interrupt where this flag is set. Of course this is not sufficient because scheduling-clock interrupts are often turned off (the things we used to be able to count on!). So the flags are also checked on entry to any state that RCU considers to be idle, which includes both NO_HZ_IDLE idle state and NO_HZ_FULL user-mode-execution state. This approach should allow call_rcu() to be invoked regardless of what locks you might be holding, the key word being "should". Reported-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

The reason that call_rcu() needs to invoke the scheduler is to wake up the corresponding rcuo callback-offload kthread, which does the job of starting up a grace period and invoking the callbacks afterwards. One solution (championed on a related problem by Lai Jiangshan) is to simply defer the wakeup to some point where scheduler locks are no longer held. Since we don't want to unnecessarily incur the cost of such deferral, the task before us is threefold: 1. Determine when it is likely that a relevant scheduler lock is held. 2. Defer the wakeup in such cases. 3. Ensure that all deferred wakeups eventually happen, preferably sooner rather than later. We use irqs_disabled_flags() as a proxy for relevant scheduler locks being held. This works because the relevant locks are always acquired with interrupts disabled. We may defer more often than needed, but that is at least safe. The wakeup deferral is tracked via a new field in the per-CPU and per-RCU-flavor rcu_data structure, namely ->nocb_defer_wakeup. This flag is checked by the RCU core processing. The __rcu_pending() function now checks this flag, which causes rcu_check_callbacks() to initiate RCU core processing at each scheduling-clock interrupt where this flag is set. Of course this is not sufficient because scheduling-clock interrupts are often turned off (the things we used to be able to count on!). So the flags are also checked on entry to any state that RCU considers to be idle, which includes both NO_HZ_IDLE idle state and NO_HZ_FULL user-mode-execution state. This approach should allow call_rcu() to be invoked regardless of what locks you might be holding, the key word being "should". Reported-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Kick adaptive-ticks CPUs that are holding up RCU grace periods Adaptive-ticks CPUs inform RCU when they enter kernel mode, but they do not necessarily turn the scheduler-clock tick back on. This state of affairs could result in RCU waiting on an adaptive-ticks CPU running for an extended period in kernel mode. Such a CPU will never run the RCU state machine, and could therefore indefinitely extend the RCU state machine, sooner or later resulting in an OOM condition. This patch, inspired by an earlier patch by Frederic Weisbecker, therefore causes RCU's force-quiescent-state processing to check for this condition and to send an IPI to CPUs that remain in that state for too long. "Too long" currently means about three jiffies by default, which is quite some time for a CPU to remain in the kernel without blocking. The rcu_tree.jiffies_till_first_fqs and rcutree.jiffies_till_next_fqs sysfs variables may be used to tune "too long" if needed.

rcu: Reduce overhead of cond_resched() checks for RCU Commit ac1bea85781e (Make cond_resched() report RCU quiescent states) fixed a problem where a CPU looping in the kernel with but one runnable task would give RCU CPU stall warnings, even if the in-kernel loop contained cond_resched() calls. Unfortunately, in so doing, it introduced performance regressions in Anton Blanchard's will-it-scale "open1" test. The problem appears to be not so much the increased cond_resched() path length as an increase in the rate at which grace periods complete, which increased per-update grace-period overhead. This commit takes a different approach to fixing this bug, mainly by moving the RCU-visible quiescent state from cond_resched() to rcu_note_context_switch(), and by further reducing the check to a simple non-zero test of a single per-CPU variable. However, this approach requires that the force-quiescent-state processing send resched IPIs to the offending CPUs. These will be sent only once the grace period has reached an age specified by the boot/sysfs parameter rcutree.jiffies_till_sched_qs, or once the grace period reaches an age halfway to the point at which RCU CPU stall warnings will be emitted, whichever comes first.

nohz_full: Add rcu_dyntick data for scalable detection of all-idle state This commit adds fields to the rcu_dyntick structure that are used to detect idle CPUs. These new fields differ from the existing ones in that the existing ones consider a CPU executing in user mode to be idle, where the new ones consider CPUs executing in user mode to be busy. The handling of these new fields is otherwise quite similar to that for the exiting fields. This commit also adds the initialization required for these fields. So, why is usermode execution treated differently, with RCU considering it a quiescent state equivalent to idle, while in contrast the new full-system idle state detection considers usermode execution to be non-idle? It turns out that although one of RCU's quiescent states is usermode execution, it is not a full-system idle state. This is because the purpose of the full-system idle state is not RCU, but rather determining when accurate timekeeping can safely be disabled. Whenever accurate timekeeping is required in a CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL kernel, at least one CPU must keep the scheduling-clock tick going. If even one CPU is executing in user mode, accurate timekeeping is requires, particularly for architectures where gettimeofday() and friends do not enter the kernel. Only when all CPUs are really and truly idle can accurate timekeeping be disabled, allowing all CPUs to turn off the scheduling clock interrupt, thus greatly improving energy efficiency. This naturally raises the question "Why is this code in RCU rather than in timekeeping?", and the answer is that RCU has the data and infrastructure to efficiently make this determination.

nohz_full: Add full-system-idle state machine This commit adds the state machine that takes the per-CPU idle data as input and produces a full-system-idle indication as output. This state machine is driven out of RCU's quiescent-state-forcing mechanism, which invokes rcu_sysidle_check_cpu() to collect per-CPU idle state and then rcu_sysidle_report() to drive the state machine. The full-system-idle state is sampled using rcu_sys_is_idle(), which also drives the state machine if RCU is idle (and does so by forcing RCU to become non-idle). This function returns true if all but the timekeeping CPU (tick_do_timer_cpu) are idle and have been idle long enough to avoid memory contention on the full_sysidle_state state variable. The rcu_sysidle_force_exit() may be called externally to reset the state machine back into non-idle state. For large systems the state machine is driven out of RCU's force-quiescent-state logic, which provides good scalability at the price of millisecond-scale latencies on the transition to full-system-idle state. This is not so good for battery-powered systems, which are usually small enough that they don't need to care about scalability, but which do care deeply about energy efficiency. Small systems therefore drive the state machine directly out of the idle-entry code. The number of CPUs in a "small" system is defined by a new NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE_SMALL Kconfig parameter, which defaults to 8. Note that this is a build-time definition. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

nohz_full: Add full-system-idle state machine This commit adds the state machine that takes the per-CPU idle data as input and produces a full-system-idle indication as output. This state machine is driven out of RCU's quiescent-state-forcing mechanism, which invokes rcu_sysidle_check_cpu() to collect per-CPU idle state and then rcu_sysidle_report() to drive the state machine. The full-system-idle state is sampled using rcu_sys_is_idle(), which also drives the state machine if RCU is idle (and does so by forcing RCU to become non-idle). This function returns true if all but the timekeeping CPU (tick_do_timer_cpu) are idle and have been idle long enough to avoid memory contention on the full_sysidle_state state variable. The rcu_sysidle_force_exit() may be called externally to reset the state machine back into non-idle state. For large systems the state machine is driven out of RCU's force-quiescent-state logic, which provides good scalability at the price of millisecond-scale latencies on the transition to full-system-idle state. This is not so good for battery-powered systems, which are usually small enough that they don't need to care about scalability, but which do care deeply about energy efficiency. Small systems therefore drive the state machine directly out of the idle-entry code. The number of CPUs in a "small" system is defined by a new NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE_SMALL Kconfig parameter, which defaults to 8. Note that this is a build-time definition. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

This state machine is driven out of RCU's quiescent-state-forcing mechanism, which invokes rcu_sysidle_check_cpu() to collect per-CPU idle state and then rcu_sysidle_report() to drive the state machine. The full-system-idle state is sampled using rcu_sys_is_idle(), which also drives the state machine if RCU is idle (and does so by forcing RCU to become non-idle). This function returns true if all but the timekeeping CPU (tick_do_timer_cpu) are idle and have been idle long enough to avoid memory contention on the full_sysidle_state state variable. The rcu_sysidle_force_exit() may be called externally to reset the state machine back into non-idle state. For large systems the state machine is driven out of RCU's force-quiescent-state logic, which provides good scalability at the price of millisecond-scale latencies on the transition to full-system-idle state. This is not so good for battery-powered systems, which are usually small enough that they don't need to care about scalability, but which do care deeply about energy efficiency. Small systems therefore drive the state machine directly out of the idle-entry code. The number of CPUs in a "small" system is defined by a new NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE_SMALL Kconfig parameter, which defaults to 8. Note that this is a build-time definition. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

nohz_full: Add rcu_dyntick data for scalable detection of all-idle state This commit adds fields to the rcu_dyntick structure that are used to detect idle CPUs. These new fields differ from the existing ones in that the existing ones consider a CPU executing in user mode to be idle, where the new ones consider CPUs executing in user mode to be busy. The handling of these new fields is otherwise quite similar to that for the exiting fields. This commit also adds the initialization required for these fields. So, why is usermode execution treated differently, with RCU considering it a quiescent state equivalent to idle, while in contrast the new full-system idle state detection considers usermode execution to be non-idle? It turns out that although one of RCU's quiescent states is usermode execution, it is not a full-system idle state. This is because the purpose of the full-system idle state is not RCU, but rather determining when accurate timekeeping can safely be disabled. Whenever accurate timekeeping is required in a CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL kernel, at least one CPU must keep the scheduling-clock tick going. If even one CPU is executing in user mode, accurate timekeeping is requires, particularly for architectures where gettimeofday() and friends do not enter the kernel. Only when all CPUs are really and truly idle can accurate timekeeping be disabled, allowing all CPUs to turn off the scheduling clock interrupt, thus greatly improving energy efficiency. This naturally raises the question "Why is this code in RCU rather than in timekeeping?", and the answer is that RCU has the data and infrastructure to efficiently make this determination.
