Right now, rcutorture warns if an rcu_torture_writer() kthread stalls,
but this warning is not always all that helpful. This commit therefore
makes the first such warning include a stack dump.
This in turn requires that sched_show_task() be exported to GPL modules,
so this commit makes that change as well.

When rcutorture sees the rcutorture.stall_cpu kernel boot parameter,
it loops with preemption disabled, which does in fact normally
generate an RCU CPU stall warning message. However, there are test
scenarios that need the stalling CPU to have interrupts disabled.
This commit therefore adds an rcutorture.stall_cpu_irqsoff kernel
boot parameter that causes the stalling CPU to disable interrupts.

It appears that at least some of the rcutorture writer stall messages
coincide with unusually long CPU-online operations, for example, no
fewer than 205 seconds in a recent test. It is of course possible that
the writer stall is not unrelated to this unusually long CPU-hotplug
operation, and so this commit adds the rcutorture writer task's CPU to
the stall message to gain more information about this possible connection.

Strings used in event tracing need to be specially handled, for example,

Peter Zijlstra proposed using SRCU to reduce mmap_sem contention [1,2],
however, there are workloads that could result in a high volume of
concurrent invocations of call_srcu(), which with current SRCU would
result in excessive lock contention on the srcu_struct structure's
->queue_lock, which protects SRCU's callback lists. This commit therefore
moves SRCU to per-CPU callback lists, thus greatly reducing contention.
Because a given SRCU instance no longer has a single centralized callback
list, starting grace periods and invoking callbacks are both more complex
than in the single-list Classic SRCU implementation. Starting grace
periods and handling callbacks are now handled using an srcu_node tree
that is in some ways similar to the rcu_node trees used by RCU-bh,
RCU-preempt, and RCU-sched (for example, the srcu_node tree shape is
controlled by exactly the same Kconfig options and boot parameters that
control the shape of the rcu_node tree).
In addition, the old per-CPU srcu_array structure is now named srcu_data
and contains an rcu_segcblist structure named ->srcu_cblist for its
callbacks (and a spinlock to protect this). The srcu_struct gets
an srcu_gp_seq that is used to associate callback segments with the
corresponding completion-time grace-period number. These completion-time
grace-period numbers are propagated up the srcu_node tree so that the
grace-period workqueue handler can determine whether additional grace
periods are needed on the one hand and where to look for callbacks that
are ready to be invoked.
The srcu_barrier() function must now wait on all instances of the per-CPU
->srcu_cblist. Because each ->srcu_cblist is protected by ->lock,
srcu_barrier() can remotely add the needed callbacks. In theory,
it could also remotely start grace periods, but in practice doing so
is complex and racy. And interestingly enough, it is never necessary
for srcu_barrier() to start a grace period because srcu_barrier() only
enqueues a callback when a callback is already present--and it turns out
that a grace period has to have already been started for this pre-existing
callback. Furthermore, it is only the callback that srcu_barrier()
needs to wait on, not any particular grace period. Therefore, a new
rcu_segcblist_entrain() function enqueues the srcu_barrier() function's
callback into the same segment occupied by the last pre-existing callback
in the list. The special case where all the pre-existing callbacks are
on a different list (because they are in the process of being invoked)
is handled by enqueuing srcu_barrier()'s callback into the RCU_DONE_TAIL
segment, relying on the done-callbacks check that takes place after all
callbacks are inovked.
Note that the readers use the same algorithm as before. Note that there
is a separate srcu_idx that tells the readers what counter to increment.
This unfortunately cannot be combined with srcu_gp_seq because they
need to be incremented at different times.
This commit introduces some ugly #ifdefs in rcutorture. These will go
away when I feel good enough about Tree SRCU to ditch Classic SRCU.
Some crude performance comparisons, courtesy of a quickly hacked rcuperf
asynchronous-grace-period capability:
Callback Queuing Overhead
-------------------------
# CPUS Classic SRCU Tree SRCU
------ ------------ ---------
2 0.349 us 0.342 us
16 31.66 us 0.4 us
41 --------- 0.417 us
The times are the 90th percentiles, a statistic that was chosen to reject
the overheads of the occasional srcu_barrier() call needed to avoid OOMing
the test machine. The rcuperf test hangs when running Classic SRCU at 41
CPUs, hence the line of dashes. Despite the hacks to both the rcuperf code
and that statistics, this is a convincing demonstration of Tree SRCU's
performance and scalability advantages.

SRCU uses two per-cpu counters: a nesting counter to count the number of
active critical sections, and a sequence counter to ensure that the nesting
counters don't change while they are being added together in
srcu_readers_active_idx_check().
This patch instead uses per-cpu lock and unlock counters. Because both
counters only increase and srcu_readers_active_idx_check() reads the unlock
counter before the lock counter, this achieves the same end without having
to increment two different counters in srcu_read_lock(). This also saves a
smp_mb() in srcu_readers_active_idx_check().
Possible bug: There is no guarantee that the lock counter won't overflow
during srcu_readers_active_idx_check(), as there are no memory barriers
around srcu_flip() (see comment in srcu_readers_active_idx_check() for
details). However, this problem was already present before this patch.

The current rcutorture testing does not do any cleanup operations.
This works because the srcu_struct is statically allocated, but it
does represent a memory leak of the associated dynamically allocated
->per_cpu_ref per-CPU variables. However, rcutorture currently uses
a statically allocated srcu_struct, which cannot legally be passed to
cleanup_srcu_struct(). Therefore, this commit adds a second form
of srcu (called srcud) that dynamically allocates and frees the
associated per-CPU variables. This commit also adds a ->cleanup()
member to rcu_torture_ops that is invoked at the end of the test,
after ->cb_barriers(). This ->cleanup() pointer is NULL for all
existing tests, and thus only used for scrud. Finally, the SRCU-P
torture-test configuration selects scrud instead of srcu, with SRCU-N
continuing to use srcu, thereby testing both static and dynamic
srcu_struct structures.

The counter returned by the various ->completed functions is subject to
overflow, which means that subtracting two such counters might result
in overflow, which invokes undefined behavior in the C standard. This
commit therefore changes these functions and variables to unsigned to
avoid this undefined behavior.

When performing module cleanups by calling torture_cleanup() the
'torture_type' string in nullified However, callers are not necessarily
done, and might still need to reference the variable. This impacts
both rcutorture and locktorture, causing printing things like:
[ 94.226618] (null)-torture: Stopping lock_torture_writer task
[ 94.226624] (null)-torture: Stopping lock_torture_stats task
Thus delay this operation until the very end of the cleanup process.
The consequence (which shouldn't matter for this kid of program) is,
of course, that we delay the window between rmmod and modprobing,
for instance in module_torture_begin().

RCU-tasks requires the occasional voluntary context switch
from CPU-bound in-kernel tasks. In some cases, this requires
instrumenting cond_resched(). However, there is some reluctance
to countenance unconditionally instrumenting cond_resched() (see
http://lwn.net/Articles/603252/), so this commit creates a separate
cond_resched_rcu_qs() that may be used in place of cond_resched() in
locations prone to long-duration in-kernel looping.
This commit currently instruments only RCU-tasks. Future possibilities
include also instrumenting RCU, RCU-bh, and RCU-sched in order to reduce
IPI usage.

Although RCU is designed to handle arbitrary floods of callbacks, this
capability is not routinely tested. This commit therefore adds a
cbflood capability in which kthreads repeatedly registers large numbers
of callbacks. One such kthread is created for each four CPUs (rounding
up), and the test may be controlled by several cbflood_* kernel boot
parameters, which control the number of bursts per flood, the number
of callbacks per burst, the time between bursts, and the time between
floods. The default values are large enough to exercise RCU's emergency
responses to callback flooding.

The original rcu_torture_writer() avoided testing the synchronous
grace-period primitives because they were simply wrappers around
call_rcu() invocations. The testing of these synchronous primitives
was delegated to the fake writers. However, there really is no excuse

is somewhat more elaborate. This commit therefore makes the default

Not all of the rcutorture kthreads waited for kthread_should_stop()
before returning from their top-level functions, and none of them
used torture_shutdown_absorb() properly. These problems can result in
segfaults and hangs at shutdown time, and some recent changes perturbed
timing sufficiently to make them much more probable. This commit
therefore creates a torture_kthread_stopping() function that does the
proper kthread shutdown dance in one centralized location.
Accommodate this grouping by making VERBOSE_TOROUT_STRING() capable of
taking a non-const string as its argument, which allows the new
torture_kthread_stopping() to pass its "title" argument directly to
