Now that ->nocb_timer and ->nocb_bypass_timer have become quite similar,
this commit merges them together. A new RCU_NOCB_WAKE_BYPASS wake level
is introduced. As a result, timers perform all kinds of deferred wake
ups but other deferred wakeup callsites only handle non-bypass wakeups
in order not to wake up rcuo too early.
The timer also unconditionally executes a full barrier so as to order
timer_pending() and callback enqueue although the path performing
RCU_NOCB_WAKE_FORCE that makes use of it is debatable. It should also
test against the rdp leader instead of the current rdp.
This unconditional full barrier shouldn't bring visible overhead since
these timers almost never fire.

New feature:
The "func-no-repeats" option in tracefs/options directory. When set
the function tracer will detect if the current function being traced
is the same as the previous one, and instead of recording it, it will
keep track of the number of times that the function is repeated in a row.
And when another function is recorded, it will write a new event that
shows the function that repeated, the number of times it repeated and
the time stamp of when the last repeated function occurred.
Enhancements:
In order to implement the above "func-no-repeats" option, the ring
buffer timestamp can now give the accurate timestamp of the event
as it is being recorded, instead of having to record an absolute
timestamp for all events. This helps the histogram code which no longer
needs to waste ring buffer space.
New validation logic to make sure all trace events that access
dereferenced pointers do so in a safe way, and will warn otherwise.
Fixes:
No longer limit the PIDs of tasks that are recorded for "saved_cmdlines"
to PID_MAX_DEFAULT (32768), as systemd now allows for a much larger
range. This caused the mapping of PIDs to the task names to be dropped
for all tasks with a PID greater than 32768.
Change trace_clock_global() to never block. This caused a deadlock.
Clean ups:
Typos, prototype fixes, and removing of duplicate or unused code.
Better management of ftrace_page allocations.

This commit adds a trace event which allows tracing the beginnings of RCU
CPU stall warnings on systems where sysctl_panic_on_rcu_stall is disabled.
The first parameter is the name of RCU flavor like other trace events.
The second parameter indicates whether this is a stall of an expedited
grace period, a self-detected stall of a normal grace period, or a stall
of a normal grace period detected by some CPU other than the one that
is stalled.
RCU CPU stall warnings are often caused by external-to-RCU issues,
for example, in interrupt handling or task scheduling. Therefore,
this event uses TRACE_EVENT, not TRACE_EVENT_RCU, to avoid requiring
those interested in tracing RCU CPU stalls to rebuild their kernels
with CONFIG_RCU_TRACE=y.

This commit adds tracing to track how the segcb list changes before/after
acceleration, during queuing and during dequeuing.
This tracing helped discover an optimization that avoided needless GP
requests when no callbacks were accelerated. The tracing overhead is
minimal as each segment's length is now stored in the respective segment.

The following changes are introduced:
1. Rename rcu_invoke_kfree_callback() to rcu_invoke_kvfree_callback(),
as well as the associated trace events, so the rcu_kfree_callback(),
becomes rcu_kvfree_callback(). The reason is to be aligned with kvfree()
notation.
2. Rename __is_kfree_rcu_offset to __is_kvfree_rcu_offset. All RCU
paths use kvfree() now instead of kfree(), thus rename it.
3. Rename kfree_call_rcu() to the kvfree_call_rcu(). The reason is,
it is capable of freeing vmalloc() memory now. Do the same with
__kfree_rcu() macro, it becomes __kvfree_rcu(), the goal is the
same.

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

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

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files

GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Strings used in event tracing need to be specially handled, for example,
being copied to the trace buffer instead of being pointed to by the trace
buffer. Although the TPS() macro can be used to "launder" pointed-to
strings, this might not be all that effective within a loadable module.
This commit therefore copies rcutorture's strings to the trace buffer.

Currently rcu_barrier() uses call_rcu() to enqueue new callbacks
on each CPU with a non-empty callback list. This works, but means
that rcu_barrier() forces grace periods that are not otherwise needed.
The key point is that rcu_barrier() never needs to wait for a grace
period, but instead only for all pre-existing callbacks to be invoked.
This means that rcu_barrier()'s new callbacks should be placed in
the callback-list segment containing the last pre-existing callback.
This commit makes this change using the new rcu_segcblist_entrain()
function.
