The "cpustart" trace event shows a stale gp_seq. This is because it uses
rdp->gp_seq, which is updated only at the end of the __note_gp_changes()
function. This commit therefore instead uses rnp->gp_seq.
An alternative fix would be to update rdp->gp_seq earlier, but this would
break RCU's detection of the beginning of a new-to-this-CPU grace period.

Currently Tree RCU's clean-up code emits a "CleanupMore" trace event in
response to late-arriving grace-period requests even if the grace period
was already requested. This makes "CleanupMore" show up an extra time (in
addition to once for each rcu_node structure that was previously marked
with the request), and for no good reason. This commit therefore avoids
emitting this trace message unless the the only request for this next
grace period arrived during or after the cleanup scan of the rcu_node
structures.

The old grace-period start code would acquire only the leaf's rcu_node
structure's ->lock if that structure believed that a grace period was
in progress. The new code advances to the leaf's parent in this case,
needlessly acquiring then leaf's parent's ->lock. This commit therefore
checks the grace-period state after marking the leaf with the need for
the specified grace period, and if the leaf believes that a grace period
is in progress, takes an early exit.

[ paulmck: Move lock release past "if" as suggested by Joel Fernandes. ]
[ paulmck: Fix caching of furthest-future requested grace period. ]
One problem with the ->need_future_gp[] array is that the grace-period
assignment of each element changes as the grace periods complete.
This means that it is necessary to hold a lock when checking this
array to learn if a given grace period has already been requested.
This increase lock contention, which is the opposite of helpful.
This commit therefore replaces the ->need_future_gp[] with a single
->gp_seq_needed value and keeps it updated in the rcu_data structure.
This will enable reliable lockless checking of whether or not a given
grace period has already been requested.

This commit converts the grace-period request code paths from ->completed
and ->gpnum to ->gp_seq. The need_future_gp_element() macro encapsulates
the shift operation required to use ->gp_seq as an index to the
->need_future_gp[] array. The rcu_cbs_completed() function is removed
in favor of the rcu_seq_snap() function. The rcu_start_this_gp()
gets some temporary consistency checks and uses rcu_seq_done(),
rcu_seq_current(), rcu_seq_state(), and rcu_gp_in_progress() in place
of the earlier open-coded comparisons of ->gpnum and ->completed.
The rcu_future_gp_cleanup() function replaces use of ->completed
with ->gp_seq. The rcu_accelerate_cbs() function replaces a call to
rcu_cbs_completed() with one to rcu_seq_snap(). The rcu_advance_cbs()
function replaces an access to >completed with one to ->gp_seq and adds
some temporary warnings. The rcu_nocb_wait_gp() function replaces a
call to rcu_cbs_completed() with one to rcu_seq_snap() and an open-coded
comparison with rcu_seq_done().
The temporary warnings will be removed when the various ->gpnum and
->completed fields are removed. Their purpose is to locate code who
might still be using ->gpnum and ->completed. (Much easier that way
than trying to trace down the causes of too-short grace periods and
grace-period hangs!)

This commit converts get_state_synchronize_rcu(), cond_synchronize_rcu(),
get_state_synchronize_sched(), and cond_synchronize_sched() from ->gpnum
and ->completed to ->gp_seq. Note that this also introduces a full
memory barrier in the already-done paths off cond_synchronize_rcu() and
cond_synchronize_sched(), as work with LKMM indicates that the earlier
smp_load_acquire() were insufficiently strong in some situations where
these two functions were called just as the grace period ended. In such
cases, these two functions would not gain the benefit of memory ordering
at the end of the grace period.
Please note that the performance impact is negligible, as you shouldn't
be using either function anywhere near a fastpath in any case.

This commit switches the functions reporting quiescent states from

Currently, the parallelized initialization of expedited grace periods uses
the workqueue associated with each rcu_node structure's ->grplo field.
This works fine unless that CPU is offline. This commit therefore uses
the CPU corresponding to the lowest-numbered online CPU, or just queues
the work on WORK_CPU_UNBOUND if there are no online CPUs corresponding
to this rcu_node structure.
Note that this patch uses cpu_is_offline() instead of the usual approach
of checking bits in the rcu_node structure's ->qsmaskinitnext field. This
is safe because preemption is disabled across both the cpu_is_offline()
check and the call to queue_work_on().

There is a two-jiffy delay between the time that a CPU will self-report
an RCU CPU stall warning and the time that some other CPU will report a
warning on behalf of the first CPU. This has worked well in the past,
but on busy systems, it is possible for the two warnings to overlap,
which makes interpreting them extremely difficult.
This commit therefore uses a cmpxchg-based timing decision that
allows only one report in a given one-minute period (assuming default
stall-warning Kconfig parameters). This approach will of course fail
if you are seeing minute-long vCPU preemption, but in that case the
overlapping RCU CPU stall warnings are the least of your worries.
