Currently, the rcu_future_needs_gp() function checks only the current
element of the ->need_future_gps[] array, which might miss elements that
were offset from the expected element, for example, due to races with
the start or the end of a grace period. This commit therefore makes
rcu_future_needs_gp() use the need_any_future_gp() macro to check all
of the elements of this array.

The rcu_cbs_completed() function provides the value of ->completed
at which new callbacks can safely be invoked. This is recorded in
two-element ->need_future_gp[] arrays in the rcu_node structure, and
the elements of these arrays corresponding to the just-completed grace
period are zeroed at the end of that grace period. However, the
rcu_cbs_completed() function can return the current ->completed value
plus either one or two, so it is possible for the corresponding
->need_future_gp[] entry to be cleared just after it was set, thus
losing a request for a future grace period.
This commit avoids this race by expanding ->need_future_gp[] to four
elements.

Currently, rcu_gp_cleanup() scans the rcu_node tree in order to reset
state to reflect the end of the grace period. It also checks to see
whether a new grace period is needed, but in a number of cases, rather
than directly cause the new grace period to be immediately started, it
instead leaves the grace-period-needed state where various fail-safes
can find it. This works fine, but results in higher contention on the
root rcu_node structure's ->lock, which is undesirable, and contention
on that lock has recently become noticeable.
This commit therefore makes rcu_gp_cleanup() immediately start a new
grace period if there is any need for one.
It is quite possible that it will later be necessary to throttle the
grace-period rate, but that can be dealt with when and if.

The handling of RCU's no-CBs CPUs has a maintenance headache, namely
that if call_rcu() is invoked with interrupts disabled, the rcuo kthread
wakeup must be defered to a point where we can be sure that scheduler
locks are not held. Of course, there are a lot of code paths leading
from an interrupts-disabled invocation of call_rcu(), and missing any
one of these can result in excessive callback-invocation latency, and
potentially even system hangs.
This commit therefore uses a timer to guarantee that the wakeup will
eventually occur. If one of the deferred-wakeup points kicks in, then
the timer is simply cancelled.
This commit also fixes up an incomplete removal of commits that were
intended to plug remaining exit paths, which should have the added
benefit of reducing the overhead of RCU's context-switch hooks. In
addition, it simplifies leader-to-follower callback-list handoff by
introducing locking. The call_rcu()-to-leader handoff continues to
use atomic operations in order to maintain good real-time latency for
common-case use of call_rcu().

Although preemptible RCU allows its read-side critical sections to be
preempted, general blocking is forbidden. The reason for this is that
excessive preemption times can be handled by CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y, but a
voluntarily blocked task doesn't care how high you boost its priority.
Because preemptible RCU is a global mechanism, one ill-behaved reader
hurts everyone. Hence the prohibition against general blocking in
RCU-preempt read-side critical sections. Preemption yes, blocking no.
This commit enforces this prohibition.
There is a special exception for the -rt patchset (which they kindly
volunteered to implement): It is OK to block (as opposed to merely being
preempted) within an RCU-preempt read-side critical section, but only if
the blocking is subject to priority inheritance. This exception permits
CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y to get -rt RCU readers out of trouble.
Why doesn't this exception also apply to mainline's rt_mutex? Because
of the possibility that someone does general blocking while holding
an rt_mutex. Yes, the priority boosting will affect the rt_mutex,
but it won't help with the task doing general blocking while holding
that rt_mutex.

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.

RCU has only one multi-tail callback list, which is implemented via

Currently, IPIs are used to force other CPUs to invalidate their TLBs
in response to a kernel virtual-memory mapping change. This works, but
degrades both battery lifetime (for idle CPUs) and real-time response
(for nohz_full CPUs), and in addition results in unnecessary IPIs due to
the fact that CPUs executing in usermode are unaffected by stale kernel
mappings. It would be better to cause a CPU executing in usermode to
wait until it is entering kernel mode to do the flush, first to avoid
interrupting usemode tasks and second to handle multiple flush requests
with a single flush in the case of a long-running user task.
This commit therefore reserves a bit at the bottom of the ->dynticks
counter, which is checked upon exit from extended quiescent states.
If it is set, it is cleared and then a new rcu_eqs_special_exit() macro is
invoked, which, if not supplied, is an empty single-pass do-while loop.
If this bottom bit is set on -entry- to an extended quiescent state,
then a WARN_ON_ONCE() triggers.
This bottom bit may be set using a new rcu_eqs_special_set() function,
which returns true if the bit was set, or false if the CPU turned
out to not be in an extended quiescent state. Please note that this
function refuses to set the bit for a non-nohz_full CPU when that CPU
is executing in usermode because usermode execution is tracked by RCU
as a dyntick-idle extended quiescent state only for nohz_full CPUs.

Expedited grace periods check dyntick-idle state, and avoid sending
IPIs to idle CPUs, including those running guest OSes, and, on NOHZ_FULL
kernels, nohz_full CPUs. However, the kernel has been observed checking
a CPU while it was non-idle, but sending the IPI after it has gone
idle. This commit therefore rechecks idle state immediately before
sending the IPI, refraining from IPIing CPUs that have since gone idle.

The current implementation of expedited grace periods has the user
task drive the grace period. This works, but has downsides: (1) The
user task must awaken tasks piggybacking on this grace period, which
can result in latencies rivaling that of the grace period itself, and
(2) User tasks can receive signals, which interfere with RCU CPU stall
warnings.
This commit therefore uses workqueues to drive the grace periods, so
that the user task need not do the awakening. A subsequent commit
will remove the now-unnecessary code allowing for signals.

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

The current expedited grace-period implementation makes subsequent grace
periods wait on wakeups for the prior grace period. This does not fit
the dictionary definition of "expedited", so this commit allows these two
phases to overlap. Doing this requires four waitqueues rather than two
because tasks can now be waiting on the previous, current, and next grace
periods. The fourth waitqueue makes the bit masking work out nicely.

The current mutex-based funnel-locking approach used by expedited grace
periods is subject to severe unfairness. The problem arises when a
few tasks, making a path from leaves to root, all wake up before other
tasks do. A new task can then follow this path all the way to the root,
which needlessly delays tasks whose grace period is done, but who do
not happen to acquire the lock quickly enough.
This commit avoids this problem by maintaining per-rcu_node wait queues,
along with a per-rcu_node counter that tracks the latest grace period
sought by an earlier task to visit this node. If that grace period
would satisfy the current task, instead of proceeding up the tree,
it waits on the current rcu_node structure using a pair of wait queues
provided for that purpose. This decouples awakening of old tasks from
the arrival of new tasks.
If the wakeups prove to be a bottleneck, additional kthreads can be
brought to bear for that purpose.

As of commit dae6e64d2b ("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...

...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_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.
If we would hold the rnp->lock and use swait, lockdep reports

In patch:
"rcu: Add transitivity to remaining rcu_node ->lock acquisitions"
All locking operations on rcu_node::lock are replaced with the wrappers
because of the need of transitivity, which indicates we should never
write code using LOCK primitives alone(i.e. without a proper barrier
following) on rcu_node::lock outside those wrappers. We could detect
this kind of misuses on rcu_node::lock in the future by adding __private
modifier on rcu_node::lock.
To privatize rcu_node::lock, unlock wrappers are also needed. Replacing
spinlock unlocks with these wrappers not only privatizes rcu_node::lock
but also makes it easier to figure out critical sections of rcu_node.
This patch adds __private modifier to rcu_node::lock and makes every
access to it wrapped by ACCESS_PRIVATE(). Besides, unlock wrappers are
added and raw_spin_unlock(&rnp->lock) and its friends are replaced with
those wrappers.

Currently, the piggybacked-work checks carried out by sync_exp_work_done()
atomically increment a small set of variables (the ->expedited_workdone0,

bottleneck given a sufficiently large number of CPUs concurrently invoking
either synchronize_rcu_expedited() or synchronize_sched_expedited().

Providing RCU's memory-ordering guarantees requires that the rcu_node
tree's locking provide transitive memory ordering, which the Linux kernel's
spinlocks currently do not provide unless smp_mb__after_unlock_lock()
is used. Having a separate smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() after each and
every lock acquisition is error-prone, hard to read, and a bit annoying,
so this commit provides wrapper functions that pull in the
smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() invocations.

This commit makes the RCU CPU stall warning message print online/offline
indications immediately after the CPU number. A "O" indicates global
offline, a "." global online, and a "o" indicates RCU believes that the
CPU is offline for the current grace period and "." otherwise, and an
"N" indicates that RCU believes that the CPU will be offline for the
next grace period, and "." otherwise, all right after the CPU number.
So for CPU 10, you would normally see "10-...:" indicating that everything
believes that the CPU is online.

This reverts commit af859beaab (rcu: Silence lockdep false positive
for expedited grace periods). Because synchronize_rcu_expedited()
no longer invokes synchronize_sched_expedited(), ->exp_funnel_mutex
acquisition is no longer nested, so the false positive no longer happens.
This commit therefore removes the extra lockdep data structures, as they
are no longer needed.
This commit switches synchronize_sched_expedited() from stop_one_cpu_nowait()
to smp_call_function_single(), thus moving from an IPI and a pair of
context switches to an IPI and a single pass through the scheduler.
Of course, if the scheduler actually does decide to switch to a different
task, there will still be a pair of context switches, but there would
likely have been a pair of context switches anyway, just a bit later.

Currently, synchronize_sched_expedited() uses a single global counter

Because that RCU grace-period initialization need no longer exclude
CPU-hotplug operations, this commit eliminates the ->onoff_mutex and
its uses.
Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
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.

Although cond_resched_rcu_qs() only applies to TASKS_RCU, it is used
in places where it would be useful for it to apply to the normal RCU
flavors, rcu_preempt, rcu_sched, and rcu_bh. This is especially the
case for workloads that aggressively overload the system, particularly
those that generate large numbers of RCU updates on systems running
NO_HZ_FULL CPUs. This commit therefore communicates quiescent states
from cond_resched_rcu_qs() to the normal RCU flavors.
Note that it is unfortunately necessary to leave the old ->passed_quiesce
mechanism in place to allow quiescent states that apply to only one
flavor to be recorded. (Yes, we could decrement ->rcu_qs_ctr_snap in
that case, but that is not so good for debugging of RCU internals.)
In addition, if one of the RCU flavor's grace period has stalled, this
will invoke rcu_momentary_dyntick_idle(), resulting in a heavy-weight

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.

example, by preventing RCU's grace-period kthreads from ever running

Otherwise, it reports the last time that the grace-period kthread made

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

The rcu_barrier() no-callbacks check for no-CBs CPUs has race conditions.
It checks a given CPU's lists of callbacks, and if all three no-CBs lists

be empty even when callbacks are present if the check executed just as
the callbacks were being moved from one list to another. It turns out
that recent versions of rcutorture can spot this race.
This commit plugs this hole by consolidating the per-list counts of

the corresponding callback is posted and after it is invoked. Then
rcu_barrier() checks this single count to reliably determine whether

Commit 35ce7f29a4 (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 35ce7f29a4, 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.

Currently TASKS_RCU would ignore a CPU running a task in nohz_full=
usermode execution. There would be neither a context switch nor a
scheduling-clock interrupt to tell TASKS_RCU that the task in question
had passed through a quiescent state. The grace period would therefore
extend indefinitely. This commit therefore makes RCU's dyntick-idle
subsystem record the task_struct structure of the task that is running
in dyntick-idle mode on each CPU. The TASKS_RCU grace period can
then access this information and record a quiescent state on
behalf of any CPU running in dyntick-idle usermode.

The nocb callbacks generated before the nocb kthreads are spawned are
enqueued in the nocb queue for later processing. Commit fbce7497ee ("rcu:
Parallelize and economize NOCB kthread wakeups") introduced nocb leader kthreads
which checked the nocb_leader_wake flag to see if there were any such pending
callbacks. A case was reported in which newly spawned leader kthreads were not
processing the pending callbacks as this flag was not set, which led to a boot
hang.
The following commit ensures that the newly spawned nocb kthreads process the
pending callbacks by allowing the kthreads to run immediately after spawning
instead of waiting. This is done by inverting the logic of nocb_leader_wake
tests to nocb_leader_sleep which allows us to use the default initialization of
this flag to 0 to let the kthreads run.

RCU priority boosting currently checks for boosting via a pointer in
task_struct. However, this is not needed: As Oleg noted, if the
rt_mutex is placed in the rcu_node instead of on the booster's stack,
the boostee can simply check it see if it owns the lock. This commit
makes this change, shrinking task_struct by one pointer and the kernel
by thirteen lines.

The current approach to RCU priority boosting uses an rt_mutex strictly
for its priority-boosting side effects. The rt_mutex_init_proxy_locked()
function is used by the booster to initialize the lock as held by the
boostee. The booster then uses rt_mutex_lock() to acquire this rt_mutex,
which priority-boosts the boostee. When the boostee reaches the end
of its outermost RCU read-side critical section, it checks a field in
its task structure to see whether it has been boosted, and, if so, uses
rt_mutex_unlock() to release the rt_mutex. The booster can then go on
to boost the next task that is blocking the current RCU grace period.
But reasonable implementations of rt_mutex_unlock() might result in the
boostee referencing the rt_mutex's data after releasing it. But the
booster might have re-initialized the rt_mutex between the time that the
boostee released it and the time that it later referenced it. This is
clearly asking for trouble, so this commit introduces a completion that
forces the booster to wait until the boostee has completely finished with
the rt_mutex, thus avoiding the case where the booster is re-initializing
the rt_mutex before the last boostee's last reference to that rt_mutex.
This of course does introduce some overhead, but the priority-boosting
code paths are miles from any possible fastpath, and the overhead of
executing the completion will normally be quite small compared to the
overhead of priority boosting and deboosting, so this should be OK.

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.

Commit ac1bea8578 (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.

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.

Whenever a CPU receives a scheduling-clock interrupt, RCU checks to see
if the RCU core needs anything from this CPU. If so, RCU raises
RCU_SOFTIRQ to carry out any needed processing.
This approach has worked well historically, but it is undesirable on
NO_HZ_FULL CPUs. Such CPUs are expected to spend almost all of their time
in userspace, so that scheduling-clock interrupts can be disabled while
there is only one runnable task on the CPU in question. Unfortunately,
raising any softirq has the potential to wake up ksoftirqd, which would
provide the second runnable task on that CPU, preventing disabling of
scheduling-clock interrupts.
What is needed instead is for RCU to leave NO_HZ_FULL CPUs alone,
relying on the grace-period kthreads' quiescent-state forcing to
do any needed RCU work on behalf of those CPUs.
This commit therefore refrains from raising RCU_SOFTIRQ on any
NO_HZ_FULL CPUs during any grace periods that have been in effect
for less than one second. The one-second limit handles the case
where an inappropriate workload is running on a NO_HZ_FULL CPU
that features lots of scheduling-clock interrupts, but no idle
or userspace time.

The underlying problem is that perf is invoking call_rcu() with the
scheduler locks held, but in NOCB mode, call_rcu() will with high
probability invoke the scheduler -- which just might want to use its
locks. 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".

When an RCU CPU stall warning occurs, the CPU invokes resched_cpu() on
itself. This can help move the grace period forward in some situations,
but it would be even better to do this -before- the RCU CPU stall warning.
This commit therefore causes resched_cpu() to be called every five jiffies
once the system is halfway to an RCU CPU stall warning.
