commit 10c5357874 upstream.
Currently rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore() releases rnp->boost_mtx
before reporting the expedited quiescent state. Under heavy real-time
load, this can result in this function being preempted before the
quiescent state is reported, which can in turn prevent the expedited grace
period from completing. Tim Murray reports that the resulting expedited
grace periods can take hundreds of milliseconds and even more than one
second, when they should normally complete in less than a millisecond.
This was fine given that there were no particular response-time
constraints for synchronize_rcu_expedited(), as it was designed
for throughput rather than latency. However, some users now need
sub-100-millisecond response-time constratints.
This patch therefore follows Neeraj's suggestion (seconded by Tim and
by Uladzislau Rezki) of simply reversing the two operations.

In non-preemptible kernels, an unfortunately timed expedited grace period
can result in the rcu_exp_handler() IPI handler setting the rcu_data
structure's cpu_no_qs.b.exp field just as the target CPU enters idle.
There are situations in which this field will not be checked until after
that CPU exits idle. The resulting grace-period latency does not qualify
as "expedited".
This commit therefore checks this field upon non-preemptible idle entry in
the rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() function. It also qualifies the rcu_core()
preempt_count() check with IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT) to prevent
false-positive quiescent states from count-free kernels.

Having two fields for the same purpose with subtle differences on
different RCU flavours is confusing, especially when both fields always
exist on both RCU flavours.
Fortunately, it is now safe for preemptible RCU to rely on the rcu_data
structure's ->cpu_no_qs.b.exp field, just like non-preemptible RCU.
This commit therefore removes the ad-hoc ->exp_deferred_qs field.

Preemptible RCU does not use the rcu_data structure's ->cpu_no_qs.b.exp,
instead using a separate ->exp_deferred_qs field to record the need for
an expedited quiescent state.
In fact ->cpu_no_qs.b.exp should never be set in preemptible RCU because
preemptible RCU's expedited grace periods use other mechanisms to record
quiescent states.
This commit therefore removes the implicit rcu_qs() reference to
->cpu_no_qs.b.exp in favor of a direct reference to ->cpu_no_qs.b.norm.

When the boost kthreads are created on systems with nohz_full CPUs,

However, when the rcu_boost_kthread_setaffinity() is called, the original
affinity will be changed and these kthreads can subsequently run on

All of the uses of CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ=y that I have seen involve
systems with RCU callbacks offloaded. In this situation, all that this

allways-taken early exit. If this is the only use case, then this
Kconfig option nothing but an attractive nuisance that needs to go away.

RCU managed to grow a few noinstr violations:
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: rcu_dynticks_eqs_enter()+0x0: call to rcu_dynticks_task_trace_enter() leaves .noinstr.text section
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: rcu_dynticks_eqs_exit()+0xe: call to rcu_dynticks_task_trace_exit() leaves .noinstr.text section
Fix them by adding __always_inline to the relevant trivial functions.
Also replace the noinstr with __always_inline for the existing
rcu_dynticks_task_*() functions since noinstr would force noinline
them, even when empty, which seems silly.

Since commit aa40c138cc ("rcu: Report QS for outermost PREEMPT=n
rcu_read_unlock() for strict GPs") the function rcu_read_unlock_strict()
is invoked by the inlined rcu_read_unlock() function. However,
rcu_read_unlock_strict() is an empty function in production kernels,
which are built with CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=n.
There is a mention of rcu_read_unlock_strict() in the BPF verifier,
but this is in a deny-list, meaning that BPF does not care whether
rcu_read_unlock_strict() is ever called.
This commit therefore provides a slight performance improvement
by hoisting the check of CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD from
rcu_read_unlock_strict() into rcu_read_unlock(), thus avoiding the
pointless call to an empty function.

The regular pile:
- A few improvements to the mutex code
- Documentation updates for atomics to clarify the difference between
cmpxchg() and try_cmpxchg() and to explain the forward progress
expectations.
- Simplification of the atomics fallback generator
- The addition of arch_atomic_long*() variants and generic arch_*()
bitops based on them.
- Add the missing might_sleep() invocations to the down*() operations of
semaphores.
The PREEMPT_RT locking core:
- Scheduler updates to support the state preserving mechanism for
'sleeping' spin- and rwlocks on RT. This mechanism is carefully
preserving the state of the task when blocking on a 'sleeping' spin- or
rwlock and takes regular wake-ups targeted at the same task into
account. The preserved or updated (via a regular wakeup) state is
restored when the lock has been acquired.
- Restructuring of the rtmutex code so it can be utilized and extended
for the RT specific lock variants.
- Restructuring of the ww_mutex code to allow sharing of the ww_mutex
specific functionality for rtmutex based ww_mutexes.
- Header file disentangling to allow substitution of the regular lock
implementations with the PREEMPT_RT variants without creating an
unmaintainable #ifdef mess.
- Shared base code for the PREEMPT_RT specific rw_semaphore and rwlock
implementations. Contrary to the regular rw_semaphores and rwlocks the
PREEMPT_RT implementation is writer unfair because it is infeasible to
do priority inheritance on multiple readers. Experience over the years
has shown that real-time workloads are not the typical workloads which
are sensitive to writer starvation. The alternative solution would be
to allow only a single reader which has been tried and discarded as it
is a major bottleneck especially for mmap_sem. Aside of that many of
the writer starvation critical usage sites have been converted to a
writer side mutex/spinlock and RCU read side protections in the past
decade so that the issue is less prominent than it used to be.
- The actual rtmutex based lock substitutions for PREEMPT_RT enabled
kernels which affect mutex, ww_mutex, rw_semaphore, spinlock_t and
rwlock_t. The spin/rw_lock*() functions disable migration across the
critical section to preserve the existing semantics vs. per CPU
variables.
- Rework of the futex REQUEUE_PI mechanism to handle the case of early
wake-ups which interleave with a re-queue operation to prevent the
situation that a task would be blocked on both the rtmutex associated
to the outer futex and the rtmutex based hash bucket spinlock.
While this situation cannot happen on !RT enabled kernels the changes
make the underlying concurrency problems easier to understand in
general. As a result the difference between !RT and RT kernels is
reduced to the handling of waiting for the critical section. !RT
kernels simply spin-wait as before and RT kernels utilize rcu_wait().
- The substitution of local_lock for PREEMPT_RT with a spinlock which
protects the critical section while staying preemptible. The CPU
locality is established by disabling migration.
The underlying concepts of this code have been in use in PREEMPT_RT for
way more than a decade. The code has been refactored several times over
the years and this final incarnation has been optimized once again to be
as non-intrusive as possible, i.e. the RT specific parts are mostly
isolated.
It has been extensively tested in the 5.14-rt patch series and it has
been verified that !RT kernels are not affected by these changes.

KCSAN flags accesses to ->rcu_read_lock_nesting as data races, but
in the past, the overhead of marked accesses was excessive. However,
that was long ago, and much has changed since then, both in terms of
hardware and of compilers. Here is data taken on an eight-core laptop
using Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-10885H CPU @ 2.40GHz with a kernel built
using gcc version 9.3.0, with all data in nanoseconds.
Unmarked accesses (status quo), measured by three refscale runs:
Minimum reader duration: 3.286 2.851 3.395
Median reader duration: 3.698 3.531 3.4695
Maximum reader duration: 4.481 5.215 5.157
Marked accesses, also measured by three refscale runs:
Minimum reader duration: 3.501 3.677 3.580
Median reader duration: 4.053 3.723 3.895
Maximum reader duration: 7.307 4.999 5.511

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.

The only thing that prevented an rdp leader from being de-offloaded was
the nocb_bypass_timer that used to lock the nocb_lock of the rdp leader.
If an rdp gets de-offloaded, it will subtlely ignore rcu_nocb_lock()
calls and do its job in the timer unsafely. Worse yet: If it gets
re-offloaded in the middle of the timer, rcu_nocb_unlock() would try to
unlock, leaving it imbalanced.
Now that the nocb_bypass_timer doesn't use the nocb_lock anymore,
de-offloading the rdp leader is now safe. This commit therefore allows
the rdp leader to be de-offloaded.

The bypass timer calls __call_rcu_nocb_wake() instead of directly
calling __wake_nocb_gp(). The only difference here is that
rdp->qlen_last_fqs_check gets overridden. But resetting the deferred
force quiescent state base shouldn't be relevant for that timer. In fact
the bypass queue in question can be for any rdp from the group and not
necessarily the rdp leader on which the bypass timer is attached.
This commit therefore calls __wake_nocb_gp() directly. This way we
don't even need to lock the ->nocb_lock.

When any CPU comes online, it checks to see if an RCU-boost kthread has
already been created for that CPU's leaf rcu_node structure, and if
not, it creates one. Unfortunately, it also verifies that this leaf
rcu_node structure actually has at least one online CPU, and if not,
it declines to create the kthread. Although this behavior makes sense
during early boot, especially on systems that claim far more CPUs than
they actually have, it makes no sense for the first CPU to come online
for a given rcu_node structure. There is no point in checking because
we know there is a CPU on its way in.
The problem is that timing differences can cause this incoming CPU to not
yet be reflected in the various bit masks even at rcutree_online_cpu()
time, and there is no chance at rcutree_prepare_cpu() time. Plus it
would be better to create the RCU-boost kthread at rcutree_prepare_cpu()
to handle the case where the CPU is involved in an RCU priority inversion
very shortly after it comes online.
This commit therefore moves the checking to rcu_prepare_kthreads(), which
is called only at early boot, when the check is appropriate. In addition,
it makes rcutree_prepare_cpu() invoke rcu_spawn_one_boost_kthread(), which
no longer does any checking for online CPUs.
With this change, RCU priority boosting tests now pass for short rcutorture
runs, even with single-CPU leaf rcu_node structures.

This commit adds each rcu_node structure's ->qsmask and "bBEG" output
indicating whether: (1) There is a boost kthread, (2) A reader needs
to be (or is in the process of being) boosted, (3) A reader is blocking
an expedited grace period, and (4) A reader is blocking a normal grace
period. This helps diagnose RCU priority boosting failures.

Currently each CPU has its own ->nocb_timer queued when the nocb_gp
wakeup must be deferred. This approach has many drawbacks, compared to
a solution based on a single timer per NOCB group:
* There are a lot of timers to maintain.
* The per-rdp ->nocb_lock must be held to queue and cancel the timer
and this lock can already be heavily contended.
* One timer firing doesn't cancel the other timers in the same group:
- These other timers can thus cause spurious wakeups
- Each rdp that queued a timer must lock both ->nocb_lock and then
->nocb_gp_lock upon exit from the kernel to idle/user/guest mode.
* We can't cancel all of them if we detect an unflushed bypass in
nocb_gp_wait(). In fact currently we only ever cancel the ->nocb_timer
of the leader group.
* The leader group's nocb_timer is cancelled without locking ->nocb_lock
in nocb_gp_wait(). This currently appears to be safe but is an
accident waiting to happen.
* Since the timer acquires ->nocb_lock, it requires extra care in the
NOCB (de-)offloading process, requiring that it be either enabled or
disabled and then flushed.
This commit instead uses the rcuog kthread's CPU's ->nocb_timer instead.
It is protected by nocb_gp_lock, which is _way_ less contended and
remains so even after this change. As a matter of fact, the nocb_timer
almost never fires and the deferred wakeup is mostly carried out upon
idle/user/guest entry. Now the early check performed at this point in
do_nocb_deferred_wakeup() is done on rdp_gp->nocb_defer_wakeup, which
is of course racy. However, this raciness is harmless because we only
need the guarantee that the timer is queued if we were the last one to
queue it. Any other situation (another CPU has queued it and we either
see it or not) is fine.
This solves all the issues listed above.

Currently, the bypass is flushed at the very last moment in the
deoffloading procedure. However, this approach leads to a larger state
space than would be preferred. This commit therefore disables the
bypass at soon as the deoffloading procedure begins, then flushes it.
This guarantees that the bypass remains empty and thus out of the way
of the deoffloading procedure.
Symmetrically, this commit waits to enable the bypass until the offloading
procedure has completed.

This sequence of events can lead to a failure to requeue a CPU's
->nocb_timer:
1. There are no callbacks queued for any CPU covered by CPU 0-2's
->nocb_gp_kthread. Note that ->nocb_gp_kthread is associated
with CPU 0.
2. CPU 1 enqueues its first callback with interrupts disabled, and
thus must defer awakening its ->nocb_gp_kthread. It therefore
queues its rcu_data structure's ->nocb_timer. At this point,
CPU 1's rdp->nocb_defer_wakeup is RCU_NOCB_WAKE.
3. CPU 2, which shares the same ->nocb_gp_kthread, also enqueues a
callback, but with interrupts enabled, allowing it to directly
awaken the ->nocb_gp_kthread.
4. The newly awakened ->nocb_gp_kthread associates both CPU 1's
and CPU 2's callbacks with a future grace period and arranges
for that grace period to be started.
5. This ->nocb_gp_kthread goes to sleep waiting for the end of this
future grace period.
6. This grace period elapses before the CPU 1's timer fires.
This is normally improbably given that the timer is set for only
one jiffy, but timers can be delayed. Besides, it is possible
that kernel was built with CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y.
7. The grace period ends, so rcu_gp_kthread awakens the
->nocb_gp_kthread, which in turn awakens both CPU 1's and
CPU 2's ->nocb_cb_kthread. Then ->nocb_gb_kthread sleeps
waiting for more newly queued callbacks.
8. CPU 1's ->nocb_cb_kthread invokes its callback, then sleeps
waiting for more invocable callbacks.
9. Note that neither kthread updated any ->nocb_timer state,
so CPU 1's ->nocb_defer_wakeup is still set to RCU_NOCB_WAKE.
10. CPU 1 enqueues its second callback, this time with interrupts
enabled so it can wake directly ->nocb_gp_kthread.
It does so with calling wake_nocb_gp() which also cancels the
pending timer that got queued in step 2. But that doesn't reset
CPU 1's ->nocb_defer_wakeup which is still set to RCU_NOCB_WAKE.
So CPU 1's ->nocb_defer_wakeup and its ->nocb_timer are now
desynchronized.
11. ->nocb_gp_kthread associates the callback queued in 10 with a new
grace period, arranges for that grace period to start and sleeps
waiting for it to complete.
12. The grace period ends, rcu_gp_kthread awakens ->nocb_gp_kthread,
which in turn wakes up CPU 1's ->nocb_cb_kthread which then
invokes the callback queued in 10.
13. CPU 1 enqueues its third callback, this time with interrupts
disabled so it must queue a timer for a deferred wakeup. However
the value of its ->nocb_defer_wakeup is RCU_NOCB_WAKE which
incorrectly indicates that a timer is already queued. Instead,
CPU 1's ->nocb_timer was cancelled in 10. CPU 1 therefore fails
to queue the ->nocb_timer.
14. CPU 1 has its pending callback and it may go unnoticed until
some other CPU ever wakes up ->nocb_gp_kthread or CPU 1 ever
calls an explicit deferred wakeup, for example, during idle entry.
This commit fixes this bug by resetting rdp->nocb_defer_wakeup everytime
we delete the ->nocb_timer.
It is quite possible that there is a similar scenario involving
->nocb_bypass_timer and ->nocb_defer_wakeup. However, despite some
effort from several people, a failure scenario has not yet been located.
However, that by no means guarantees that no such scenario exists.
Finding a failure scenario is left as an exercise for the reader, and the
"Fixes:" tag below relates to ->nocb_bypass_timer instead of ->nocb_timer.

Because preemptible RCU's __rcu_read_unlock() is an external function,
the rough equivalent of an implicit barrier() is inserted by the compiler.
Except that there is a direct call to __rcu_read_unlock() in that same
file, and compilers are getting to the point where they might choose to
inline the fastpath of the __rcu_read_unlock() function.
This commit therefore adds an explicit barrier() to the very beginning

In kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y, every grace
period is an expedited grace period. However, rcu_read_unlock_special()
does not treat them that way, instead allowing the deferred quiescent
state to be reported whenever. This commit therefore adds a check of
this Kconfig option that causes rcu_read_unlock_special() to treat all
grace periods as expedited for CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y kernels.

Historically, a task that has been subjected to RCU priority boosting is
deboosted at rcu_read_unlock() time. However, with the advent of deferred
quiescent states, if the outermost rcu_read_unlock() was invoked with
either bottom halves, interrupts, or preemption disabled, the deboosting
will be delayed for some time. During this time, a low-priority process
might be incorrectly running at a high real-time priority level.
Fortunately, rcu_read_unlock_special() already provides mechanisms for
forcing a minimal deferral of quiescent states, at least for kernels
built with CONFIG_IRQ_WORK=y. These mechanisms are currently used
when expedited grace periods are pending that might be blocked by the
current task. This commit therefore causes those mechanisms to also be
used in cases where the current task has been or might soon be subjected
to RCU priority boosting. Note that this applies to all kernels built
with CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y, regardless of whether or not they are also
built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y.
This approach assumes that kernels build for use with aggressive real-time
applications are built with CONFIG_IRQ_WORK=y. It is likely to be far
simpler to enable CONFIG_IRQ_WORK=y than to implement a fast-deboosting
scheme that works correctly in its absence.
While in the area, alphabetize the rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handler()
function's local variables.

The nocb_cb_wait() function first sets the rdp->nocb_cb_sleep flag to
true by after invoking the callbacks, and then sets it back to false if
it finds more callbacks that are ready to invoke.
This is confusing and will become unsafe if this flag is ever read
locklessly. This commit therefore writes it only once, based on the
state after both callback invocation and checking.

It makes no sense to de-offload an offline CPU because that CPU will never
invoke any remaining callbacks. It also makes little sense to offload an
offline CPU because any pending RCU callbacks were migrated when that CPU
went offline. Yes, it is in theory possible to use a number of tricks
to permit offloading and deoffloading offline CPUs in certain cases, but
in practice it is far better to have the simple and deterministic rule
"Toggling the offload state of an offline CPU is forbidden".
For but one example, consider that an offloaded offline CPU might have
millions of callbacks queued. Best to just say "no".
This commit therefore forbids toggling of the offloaded state of
offline CPUs.

Provide CONFIG_PROVE_RCU sanity checks to ensure we are always reading
the offloaded state of an rdp in a safe and stable way and prevent from
its value to be changed under us. We must either hold the barrier mutex,
the cpu-hotplug lock (read or write) or the nocb lock.
Local non-preemptible reads are also safe. NOCB kthreads and timers have
their own means of synchronization against the offloaded state updaters.

With the core bitmap support now accepting "N" as a placeholder for
the end of the bitmap, "all" can be represented as "0-N" and has the
advantage of not being specific to RCU (or any other subsystem).
So deprecate the use of "all" by removing documentation references
to it. The support itself needs to remain for now, since we don't
know how many people out there are using it currently, but since it
is in an __init area anyway, it isn't worth losing sleep over.
