0d43eb34f9 rcu: Invert passed_quiesce and rename to cpu_no_qs
This commit inverts the sense of the rcu_data structure's ->passed_quiesce
field and renames it to ->cpu_no_qs.  This will allow a later commit to
use an "aggregate OR" operation to test expedited as well as normal grace
periods without added overhead.

97c668b8e9 rcu: Rename qs_pending to core_needs_qs
An upcoming commit needs to invert the sense of the ->passed_quiesce
rcu_data structure field, so this commit is taking this opportunity
to clarify things a bit by renaming ->qs_pending to ->core_needs_qs.

So if !rdp->core_needs_qs, then this CPU need not concern itself with
quiescent states, in particular, it need not acquire its leaf rcu_node
structure's ->lock to check.  Otherwise, it needs to report the next
quiescent state.

bce5fa12aa rcu: Move synchronize_sched_expedited() to combining tree
Currently, synchronize_sched_expedited() uses a single global counter
to track the number of remaining context switches that the current
expedited grace period must wait on.  This is problematic on large
systems, where the resulting memory contention can be pathological.
This commit therefore makes synchronize_sched_expedited() instead use
the combining tree in the same manner as synchronize_rcu_expedited(),
keeping memory contention down to a dull roar.

This commit creates a temporary function sync_sched_exp_select_cpus()
that is very similar to sync_rcu_exp_select_cpus().  A later commit
will consolidate these two functions, which becomes possible when
synchronize_sched_expedited() switches from stop_one_cpu_nowait() to
smp_call_function_single().

8203d6d0ee rcu: Use single-stage IPI algorithm for RCU expedited grace period
The current preemptible-RCU expedited grace-period algorithm invokes
synchronize_sched_expedited() to enqueue all tasks currently running
in a preemptible-RCU read-side critical section, then waits for all the
->blkd_tasks lists to drain.  This works, but results in both an IPI and
a double context switch even on CPUs that do not happen to be running
in a preemptible RCU read-side critical section.

This commit implements a new algorithm that causes less OS jitter.
This new algorithm IPIs all online CPUs that are not idle (from an
RCU perspective), but refrains from self-IPIs.  If a CPU receiving
this IPI is not in a preemptible RCU read-side critical section (or
is just now exiting one), it pushes quiescence up the rcu_node tree,
otherwise, it sets a flag that will be handled by the upcoming outermost
rcu_read_unlock(), which will then push quiescence up the tree.

The expedited grace period must of course wait on any pre-existing blocked
readers, and newly blocked readers must be queued carefully based on
the state of both the normal and the expedited grace periods.  This
new queueing approach also avoids the need to update boost state,
courtesy of the fact that blocked tasks are no longer ever migrated to
the root rcu_node structure.

f4ecea309d rcu: Use rsp->expedited_wq instead of sync_rcu_preempt_exp_wq
Now that there is an ->expedited_wq waitqueue in each rcu_state structure,
there is no need for the sync_rcu_preempt_exp_wq global variable.  This

It also initializes ->expedited_wq only once at boot instead of at the

19a5ecde08 rcu: Suppress lockdep false positive for rcp->exp_funnel_mutex
In kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, synchronize_rcu_expedited()
invokes synchronize_sched_expedited() while holding RCU-preempt's
root rcu_node structure's ->exp_funnel_mutex, which is acquired after
the rcu_data structure's ->exp_funnel_mutex.  The first thing that
synchronize_sched_expedited() will do is acquire RCU-sched's rcu_data
structure's ->exp_funnel_mutex.   There is no danger of an actual deadlock
because the locking order is always from RCU-preempt's expedited mutexes
to those of RCU-sched.  Unfortunately, lockdep considers both rcu_data
structures' ->exp_funnel_mutex to be in the same lock class and therefore
reports a deadlock cycle.

This commit silences this false positive by placing RCU-sched's rcu_data
structures' ->exp_funnel_mutex locks into their own lock class.

af859beaab rcu: Silence lockdep false positive for expedited grace periods
In a CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernel, synchronize_rcu_expedited()
acquires the ->exp_funnel_mutex in rcu_preempt_state, then invokes
synchronize_sched_expedited, which acquires the ->exp_funnel_mutex in
rcu_sched_state.  There can be no deadlock because rcu_preempt_state
->exp_funnel_mutex acquisition always precedes that of rcu_sched_state.
But lockdep does not know that, so it gives false-positive splats.

This commit therefore associates a separate lock_class_key structure
with the rcu_sched_state structure's ->exp_funnel_mutex, allowing
lockdep to see the lock ordering, avoiding the false positives.

704dd435ac rcu: Consolidate last open-coded expedited memory barrier
One of the requirements on RCU grace periods is that if there is a
causal chain of operations that starts after one grace period and
ends before another grace period, then the two grace periods must
be serialized.  There has been (and might still be) code that relies
on this, for example, certain types of reference-counting code that
does a call_rcu() within an RCU callback function.

This requirement is why there is an smp_mb() at the end of both
synchronize_sched_expedited() and synchronize_rcu_expedited().
However, this is the only smp_mb() in these functions, so it would
be nicer to consolidate it into rcu_exp_gp_seq_end().  This commit
does just that.

28f00767e3 rcu: Abstract sequence counting from synchronize_sched_expedited()
This commit creates rcu_exp_gp_seq_start() and rcu_exp_gp_seq_end() to
bracket an expedited grace period, rcu_exp_gp_seq_snap() to snapshot the
sequence counter, and rcu_exp_gp_seq_done() to check to see if a full
expedited grace period has elapsed since the snapshot.  These will be
applied to synchronize_rcu_expedited().  These are defined in terms of
underlying rcu_seq_start(), rcu_seq_end(), rcu_seq_snap(), rcu_seq_done(),
which will be applied to _rcu_barrier().

One reason that this commit doesn't use the seqcount primitives themselves
is that the smp_wmb() in those primitive is insufficient due to the fact
that expedited grace periods do reads as well as writes.  In addition,
the read-side seqcount primitives detect a potentially partial change,
where the expedited primitives instead need a guaranteed full change.

3a6d7c64d7 rcu: Make expedited GP CPU stoppage asynchronous
Sequentially stopping the CPUs slows down expedited grace periods by
at least a factor of two, based on rcutorture's grace-period-per-second
rate.  This is a conservative measure because rcutorture uses unusually
long RCU read-side critical sections and because rcutorture periodically
quiesces the system in order to test RCU's ability to ramp down to and
up from the idle state.  This commit therefore replaces the stop_one_cpu()
with stop_one_cpu_nowait(), using an atomic-counter scheme to determine
when all CPUs have passed through the stopped state.

d6ada2cf2f rcu: Rework synchronize_sched_expedited() counter handling
Now that synchronize_sched_expedited() have a mutex, it can use simpler
work-already-done detection scheme.  This commit simplifies this scheme
by using something similar to the sequence-locking counter scheme.
A counter is incremented before and after each grace period, so that
the counter is odd in the midst of the grace period and even otherwise.
So if the counter has advanced to the second even number that is
greater than or equal to the snapshot, the required grace period has
already happened.

c190c3b16c rcu: Switch synchronize_sched_expedited() to stop_one_cpu()
The synchronize_sched_expedited() currently invokes try_stop_cpus(),
which schedules the stopper kthreads on each online non-idle CPU,
and waits until all those kthreads are running before letting any
of them stop.  This is disastrous for real-time workloads, which
get hit with a preemption that is as long as the longest scheduling
latency on any CPU, including any non-realtime housekeeping CPUs.
This commit therefore switches to using stop_one_cpu() on each CPU
in turn.  This avoids inflicting the worst-case scheduling latency
on the worst-case CPU onto all other CPUs, and also simplifies the
code a little bit.

Follow-up commits will simplify the counter-snapshotting algorithm
and convert a number of the counters that are now protected by the
new ->expedited_mutex to non-atomic.

e382608254 This patch series contains several clean ups and even a new trace clock
"monitonic raw". Also some enhancements to make the ring buffer even
 faster. But the biggest and most noticeable change is the renaming of
 the ftrace* files, structures and variables that have to deal with
 trace events.
 
 Over the years I've had several developers tell me about their confusion
 with what ftrace is compared to events. Technically, "ftrace" is the
 infrastructure to do the function hooks, which include tracing and also
 helps with live kernel patching. But the trace events are a separate
 entity altogether, and the files that affect the trace events should
 not be named "ftrace". These include:
 
   include/trace/ftrace.h	->	include/trace/trace_events.h
   include/linux/ftrace_event.h	->	include/linux/trace_events.h
 
 Also, functions that are specific for trace events have also been renamed:
 
   ftrace_print_*()		->	trace_print_*()
   (un)register_ftrace_event()	->	(un)register_trace_event()
   ftrace_event_name()		->	trace_event_name()
   ftrace_trigger_soft_disabled()->	trace_trigger_soft_disabled()
   ftrace_define_fields_##call() ->	trace_define_fields_##call()
   ftrace_get_offsets_##call()	->	trace_get_offsets_##call()
 
 Structures have been renamed:
 
   ftrace_event_file		->	trace_event_file
   ftrace_event_{call,class}	->	trace_event_{call,class}
   ftrace_event_buffer		->	trace_event_buffer
   ftrace_subsystem_dir		->	trace_subsystem_dir

   ftrace_event_data_offset_##call->	trace_event_data_offset_##call
   ftrace_event_type_funcs_##call ->	trace_event_type_funcs_##call
 
 And a few various variables and flags have also been updated.
 
 This has been sitting in linux-next for some time, and I have not heard
 a single complaint about this rename breaking anything. Mostly because
 these functions, variables and structures are mostly internal to the
 tracing system and are seldom (if ever) used by anything external to that.

Merge tag 'trace-v4.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "This patch series contains several clean ups and even a new trace
  clock "monitonic raw".  Also some enhancements to make the ring buffer
  even faster.  But the biggest and most noticeable change is the
  renaming of the ftrace* files, structures and variables that have to
  deal with trace events.

  Over the years I've had several developers tell me about their
  confusion with what ftrace is compared to events.  Technically,
  "ftrace" is the infrastructure to do the function hooks, which include
  tracing and also helps with live kernel patching.  But the trace
  events are a separate entity altogether, and the files that affect the
  trace events should not be named "ftrace".  These include:

    include/trace/ftrace.h         ->    include/trace/trace_events.h
    include/linux/ftrace_event.h   ->    include/linux/trace_events.h

  Also, functions that are specific for trace events have also been renamed:

    ftrace_print_*()               ->    trace_print_*()
    (un)register_ftrace_event()    ->    (un)register_trace_event()
    ftrace_event_name()            ->    trace_event_name()
    ftrace_trigger_soft_disabled() ->    trace_trigger_soft_disabled()
    ftrace_define_fields_##call()  ->    trace_define_fields_##call()
    ftrace_get_offsets_##call()    ->    trace_get_offsets_##call()

  Structures have been renamed:

    ftrace_event_file              ->    trace_event_file
    ftrace_event_{call,class}      ->    trace_event_{call,class}
    ftrace_event_buffer            ->    trace_event_buffer
    ftrace_subsystem_dir           ->    trace_subsystem_dir
    ftrace_event_raw_##call        ->    trace_event_raw_##call
    ftrace_event_data_offset_##call->    trace_event_data_offset_##call
    ftrace_event_type_funcs_##call ->    trace_event_type_funcs_##call

26730f55c2 rcu: Make RCU able to tolerate undefined CONFIG_RCU_KTHREAD_PRIO
This commit updates the initialization of the kthread_prio boot parameter
so that RCU will build even when CONFIG_RCU_KTHREAD_PRIO is undefined.
The kthread_prio boot parameter is set to CONFIG_RCU_KTHREAD_PRIO if
that is defined, otherwise to 1 if CONFIG_RCU_BOOST is defined and
to zero otherwise.  This commit then makes CONFIG_RCU_KTHREAD_PRIO
depend on CONFIG_RCU_EXPERT, so that Kconfig users won't be asked about
CONFIG_RCU_KTHREAD_PRIO unless they want to be.

7fa270010e rcu: Convert CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT to boot parameter
The CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT Kconfig parameter is used primarily (and
perhaps only) by rcutorture to verify that RCU works correctly in specific
rcu_node combining-tree configurations.  It therefore does not make
much sense have this as a question to people attempting to configure
their kernels.  So this commit creates an rcutree.rcu_fanout_exact=
boot parameter that rcutorture can use, and eliminates the original
CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT Kconfig parameter.

0f41c0ddad rcu: Provide diagnostic option to slow down grace-period scans
Grace-period scans of the rcu_node combining tree normally
proceed quite quickly, so that it is very difficult to reproduce
races against them.  This commit therefore allows grace-period
pre-initialization and cleanup to be artificially slowed down,
increasing race-reproduction probability.  A pair of pairs of new
Kconfig parameters are provided, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT to
enable the slowing down of propagating CPU-hotplug changes up the
combining tree along with RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT_DELAY to
specify the delay in jiffies, and RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_CLEANUP
to enable the slowing down of the end-of-grace-period cleanup scan
along with RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_CLEANUP_DELAY to specify the delay
in jiffies.  Boot-time parameters named rcutree.gp_preinit_delay and
rcutree.gp_cleanup_delay allow these delays to be specified at boot time.
