To avoid redundant memory barriers, add smp_mb__after_srcu_read_lock() to
pair with smp_mb__after_srcu_read_unlock() for use in paths that need to
emit a memory barrier, but already do srcu_read_lock(), which includes a
full memory barrier. Provide an API, e.g. as opposed to having callers
document the behavior via a comment, as the full memory barrier provided
by srcu_read_lock() is an implementation detail that shouldn't bleed into
random subsystems.
KVM will use smp_mb__after_srcu_read_lock() in it's VM-Exit path to ensure
a memory barrier is emitted, which is necessary to ensure correctness of
mixed memory types on CPUs that support self-snoop.

It is claimed that srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() NMI-safe. However it
triggers a lockdep if used from NMI because lockdep expects a deadlock
since nothing disables NMIs while the lock is acquired.
This is because commit f0f44752f5 ("rcu: Annotate SRCU's update-side
lockdep dependencies") annotates synchronize_srcu() as a write lock
usage. This helps to detect a deadlocks such as
srcu_read_lock();
synchronize_srcu();
srcu_read_unlock();
The side effect is that the lock srcu_struct now has a USED usage in normal
contexts, so it conflicts with a USED_READ usage in NMI. But this shouldn't
cause a real deadlock because the write lock usage from synchronize_srcu()
is a fake one and only used for read/write deadlock detection.
Use a try-lock annotation for srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() to avoid lockdep
complains if used from NMI.
Fixes: f0f44752f5 ("rcu: Annotate SRCU's update-side lockdep dependencies")

Although all flavors of RCU readers are annotated correctly with
lockdep as recursive read locks, they do not set the lock_acquire
'check' parameter. This means that RCU read locks are not added to
the lockdep dependency graph, which in turn means that lockdep cannot
detect RCU-based deadlocks. This is not a problem for RCU flavors having
atomic read-side critical sections because context-based annotations can
catch these deadlocks, see for example the RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() statement
in synchronize_rcu(). But context-based annotations are not helpful
for sleepable RCU, especially given that it is perfectly legal to do
synchronize_srcu(&srcu1) within an srcu_read_lock(&srcu2).
However, we can detect SRCU-based by: (1) Making srcu_read_lock() a
'check'ed recursive read lock and (2) Making synchronize_srcu() a empty
write lock critical section. Even better, with the newly introduced
lock_sync(), we can avoid false positives about irq-unsafe/safe.
This commit therefore makes it so.
Note that NMI-safe SRCU read side critical sections are currently not
annotated, but might be annotated in the future.

A pair of matching srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock() invocations
must take place within the same context, for example, within the same
task. Otherwise, lockdep complains, as is the right thing to do for
most use cases.
However, there are use cases involving asynchronous I/O where the
SRCU reader needs to begin on one task and end on another. This commit
therefore supplies the semaphore-like srcu_down_read() and srcu_up_read(),
which act like srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock(), but permitting
srcu_up_read() to be invoked in a different context than was the matching
srcu_down_read().
Neither srcu_down_read() nor srcu_up_read() may be invoked from an
NMI handler.

Kernels configured with CONFIG_PRINTK=n and CONFIG_SRCU=n get build
failures. This causes trouble for deep embedded systems. But given
that there are more than 25 instances of "select SRCU" in the kernel,
it is hard to believe that there are many kernels running in production
without SRCU. This commit therefore makes SRCU mandatory. The SRCU
Kconfig option remains for backwards compatibility, and will be removed
when it is no longer used.

On strict load-store architectures, the use of this_cpu_inc() by
srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock() is not NMI-safe in TREE SRCU.
To see this suppose that an NMI arrives in the middle of srcu_read_lock(),
just after it has read ->srcu_lock_count, but before it has written
the incremented value back to memory. If that NMI handler also does
srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_lock() on that same srcu_struct structure,
then upon return from that NMI handler, the interrupted srcu_read_lock()
will overwrite the NMI handler's update to ->srcu_lock_count, but
leave unchanged the NMI handler's update by srcu_read_unlock() to
->srcu_unlock_count.
This can result in a too-short SRCU grace period, which can in turn
result in arbitrary memory corruption.
If the NMI handler instead interrupts the srcu_read_unlock(), this
can result in eternal SRCU grace periods, which is not much better.
This commit therefore creates a pair of new srcu_read_lock_nmisafe()
and srcu_read_unlock_nmisafe() functions, which allow SRCU readers in
both NMI handlers and in process and IRQ context. It is bad practice
to mix the existing and the new _nmisafe() primitives on the same
srcu_struct structure. Use one set or the other, not both.
Just to underline that "bad practice" point, using srcu_read_lock() at
process level and srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() in your NMI handler will not,
repeat NOT, work. If you do not immediately understand why this is the
case, please review the earlier paragraphs in this commit log.

This commit replaces both ________p1 and _________p1 with __UNIQUE_ID(rcu),
and also adjusts the callers of the affected macros.
__UNIQUE_ID(rcu) will generate unique variable names during compilation,
which eliminates the need of ________p1 and _________p1 (both having 4
occurrences prior to the code change). This also avoids the variable
name shadowing issue, or at least makes those wishing to cause shadowing
problems work much harder to do so.
The same idea is used for the min/max macros (commit 589a978 and commit
e9092d0).

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

There is a need for a polling interface for SRCU grace
periods, so this commit supplies get_state_synchronize_srcu(),
start_poll_synchronize_srcu(), and poll_state_synchronize_srcu() for this
purpose. The first can be used if future grace periods are inevitable
(perhaps due to a later call_srcu() invocation), the second if future
grace periods might not otherwise happen, and the third to check if a
grace period has elapsed since the corresponding call to either of the
first two.
As with get_state_synchronize_rcu() and cond_synchronize_rcu(),
the return value from either get_state_synchronize_srcu() or
start_poll_synchronize_srcu() must be passed in to a later call to
poll_state_synchronize_srcu().

The cleanup_srcu_struct_quiesced() function was added because NVME
used WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueues and SRCU did not, which meant that
NVME workqueues waiting on SRCU workqueues could result in deadlocks
during low-memory conditions. However, SRCU now also has WQ_MEM_RECLAIM
workqueues, so there is no longer a potential for deadlock. Furthermore,
it turns out to be extremely hard to use cleanup_srcu_struct_quiesced()
correctly due to the fact that SRCU callback invocation accesses the
srcu_struct structure's per-CPU data area just after callbacks are
invoked. Therefore, the usual practice of using srcu_barrier() to wait
for callbacks to be invoked before invoking cleanup_srcu_struct_quiesced()
fails because SRCU's callback-invocation workqueue handler might be
delayed, which can result in cleanup_srcu_struct_quiesced() being invoked
(and thus freeing the per-CPU data) before the SRCU's callback-invocation
workqueue handler is finished using that per-CPU data. Nor is this a
theoretical problem: KASAN emitted use-after-free warnings because of
this problem on actual runs.
In short, NVME can now safely invoke cleanup_srcu_struct(), which
avoids the use-after-free scenario. And cleanup_srcu_struct_quiesced()
is quite difficult to use safely. This commit therefore removes
cleanup_srcu_struct_quiesced(), switching its sole user back to
cleanup_srcu_struct(). This effectively reverts the following pair
of commits:
f7194ac32c ("srcu: Add cleanup_srcu_struct_quiesced()")

In the last patch in this series, we are making lockdep register hooks
onto the irq_{disable,enable} tracepoints. These tracepoints use the
_rcuidle tracepoint variant. In this series we switch the _rcuidle
tracepoint callers to use SRCU instead of sched-RCU. Inorder to
dereference the pointer to the probe functions, we could call
srcu_dereference, however this API will call back into lockdep to check
if the lock is held *before* the lockdep probe hooks have a chance to
run and annotate the IRQ enabled/disabled state.
For this reason we need a notrace variant of srcu_dereference since
otherwise we get lockdep splats. This patch adds the needed
srcu_dereference_notrace variant.

The current cleanup_srcu_struct() flushes work, which prevents it
from being invoked from some workqueue contexts, as well as from
atomic (non-blocking) contexts. This patch therefore introduced a
cleanup_srcu_struct_quiesced(), which can be invoked only after all
activity on the specified srcu_struct has completed. This restriction

contexts as well as from atomic contexts.

Linu Cherian reported a WARN in cleanup_srcu_struct() when shutting
down a guest running iperf on a VFIO assigned device. This happens
because irqfd_wakeup() calls srcu_read_lock(&kvm->irq_srcu) in interrupt
context, while a worker thread does the same inside kvm_set_irq(). If the
interrupt happens while the worker thread is executing __srcu_read_lock(),
updates to the Classic SRCU ->lock_count[] field or the Tree SRCU
->srcu_lock_count[] field can be lost.
The docs say you are not supposed to call srcu_read_lock() and
srcu_read_unlock() from irq context, but KVM interrupt injection happens
from (host) interrupt context and it would be nice if SRCU supported the
use case. KVM is using SRCU here not really for the "sleepable" part,
but rather due to its IPI-free fast detection of grace periods. It is
therefore not desirable to switch back to RCU, which would effectively
revert commit 719d93cd5f ("kvm/irqchip: Speed up KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING",
2014-01-16).
However, the docs are overly conservative. You can have an SRCU instance
only has users in irq context, and you can mix process and irq context
as long as process context users disable interrupts. In addition,
__srcu_read_unlock() actually uses this_cpu_dec() on both Tree SRCU and
Classic SRCU. For those two implementations, only srcu_read_lock()
is unsafe.
When Classic SRCU's __srcu_read_unlock() was changed to use this_cpu_dec(),
in commit 5a41344a3d ("srcu: Simplify __srcu_read_unlock() via
this_cpu_dec()", 2012-11-29), __srcu_read_lock() did two increments.
Therefore it kept __this_cpu_inc(), with preempt_disable/enable in
the caller. Tree SRCU however only does one increment, so on most
architectures it is more efficient for __srcu_read_lock() to use
this_cpu_inc(), and any performance differences appear to be down in
the noise.

SRCU's implementation of expedited grace periods has always assumed

This commit improves this a bit by maintaining a count of the number

However, any non-expedited wait already in progress will still wait for

The current SRCU grace-period processing might never reach the last
portion of srcu_advance_batches(). This is OK given the current
implementation, as the first portion, up to the try_check_zero()
following the srcu_flip() is sufficient to drive grace periods forward.
However, it has the unfortunate side-effect of making it impossible to
determine when a given grace period has ended, and it will be necessary
to efficiently trace ends of grace periods in order to efficiently handle
per-CPU SRCU callback lists.
This commit therefore adds states to the SRCU grace-period processing,
so that the end of a given SRCU grace period is marked by the transition
to the SRCU_STATE_DONE state.

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 rcu_dereference_check() family of primitives evaluates the RCU
lockdep expression first, and only then evaluates the expression passed
in. This works fine normally, but can potentially fail in environments
(such as NMI handlers) where lockdep cannot be invoked. The problem is
that even if the expression passed in is "1", the compiler would need to
prove that the RCU lockdep expression (rcu_read_lock_held(), for example)
is free of side effects in order to be able to elide it. Given that
rcu_read_lock_held() is sometimes separately compiled, the compiler cannot
always use this optimization.
This commit therefore reverse the order of evaluation, so that the
expression passed in is evaluated first, and the RCU lockdep expression is
evaluated only if the passed-in expression evaluated to false, courtesy
of the C-language short-circuit boolean evaluation rules. This compells
the compiler to forego executing the RCU lockdep expression in cases
where the passed-in expression evaluates to "1" at compile time, so that
(for example) rcu_dereference_raw() can be guaranteed to execute safely
within an NMI handler.
