This commit emphasizes the possibility of concurrent calls to
synchronize_rcu() and synchronize_rcu_expedited() causing one or
the other of the two grace periods being lost from the viewpoint of
poll_state_synchronize_rcu().
If you cannot afford to lose grace periods this way, you should
instead use the _full() variants of the polled RCU API, for
example, poll_state_synchronize_rcu_full().

Currently, rcu_do_batch() sizes its batches based on the total number
of callbacks in the callback list. This can result in some strange
choices, for example, if there was 12,800 callbacks in the list, but
only 200 were ready to invoke, RCU would invoke 100 at a time (12,800
shifted down by seven bits).
A more measured approach would use the number that were actually ready
to invoke, an approach that has become feasible only recently given the
per-segment ->seglen counts in ->cblist.
This commit therefore bases the batch limit on the number of callbacks
ready to invoke instead of on the total number of callbacks.

This commit consolidates the initialization and CPU-hotplug code at
the end of kernel/rcu/tree.c. This is strictly a code-motion commit.
No functionality has changed.

This commit fixes a lockdep false positive in synchronize_rcu() that
can otherwise occur during early boot. Theis fix simply avoids invoking
lockdep if the scheduler has not yet been initialized, that is, during
that portion of boot when interrupts are disabled.

* tag 'rcu-urgent.2022.12.17a' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu:
rcu: Don't assert interrupts enabled too early in boot
The rcu_poll_gp_seq_end() and rcu_poll_gp_seq_end_unlocked() both check
that interrupts are enabled, as they normally should be when waiting for
an RCU grace period. Except that it is legal to wait for grace periods
during early boot, before interrupts have been enabled for the first time,
and polling for grace periods is required to work during this time.
This can result in false-positive lockdep splats in the presence of
boot-time-initiated tracing.
This commit therefore conditions those interrupts-enabled checks on
rcu_scheduler_active having advanced past RCU_SCHEDULER_INACTIVE, by
which time interrupts have been enabled.

Merge tag 'printk-for-6.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux
Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Add NMI-safe SRCU reader API. It uses atomic_inc() instead of
this_cpu_inc() on strong load-store architectures.
- Introduce new console_list_lock to synchronize a manipulation of the
list of registered consoles and their flags.
This is a first step in removing the big-kernel-lock-like behavior of
console_lock(). This semaphore still serializes console->write()
calbacks against:
- each other. It primary prevents potential races between early
and proper console drivers using the same device.
- suspend()/resume() callbacks and init() operations in some
drivers.
- various other operations in the tty/vt and framebufer
susbsystems. It is likely that console_lock() serializes even
operations that are not directly conflicting with the
console->write() callbacks here. This is the most complicated
big-kernel-lock aspect of the console_lock() that will be hard
to untangle.
- Introduce new console_srcu lock that is used to safely iterate and
access the registered console drivers under SRCU read lock.
This is a prerequisite for introducing atomic console drivers and
console kthreads. It will reduce the complexity of serialization
against normal consoles and console_lock(). Also it should remove the
risk of deadlock during critical situations, like Oops or panic, when
only atomic consoles are registered.
- Check whether the console is registered instead of enabled on many
locations. It was a historical leftover.
- Cleanly force a preferred console in xenfb code instead of a dirty
hack.
- A lot of code and comment clean ups and improvements.

doc.2022.10.20a: Documentation updates. This is the second
in a series from an ongoing review of the RCU documentation.
fixes.2022.10.21a: Miscellaneous fixes.
lazy.2022.11.30a: Introduces a default-off Kconfig option that depends
on RCU_NOCB_CPU that, on CPUs mentioned in the nohz_full or
rcu_nocbs boot-argument CPU lists, causes call_rcu() to introduce
delays. These delays result in significant power savings on
nearly idle Android and ChromeOS systems. These savings range
from a few percent to more than ten percent.
This series also includes several commits that change call_rcu()
to a new call_rcu_hurry() function that avoids these delays in
a few cases, for example, where timely wakeups are required.
Several of these are outside of RCU and thus have acks and
reviews from the relevant maintainers.

That printk() series depends on these commits, so if you pull
the printk() series before this one, you will have already
pulled in this branch, plus two more SRCU commits:
0cd7e350ab ("rcu: Make SRCU mandatory")
51f5f78a4f ("srcu: Make Tiny synchronize_srcu() check for readers")
These two commits appear to work well, but do not have
sufficient testing exposure over a long enough time for me to
feel comfortable pushing them unless something in mainline is
definitely going to use them immediately, and currently only
the new printk() work uses them.

Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney:
- Documentation updates. This is the second in a series from an ongoing
review of the RCU documentation.
- Miscellaneous fixes.
- Introduce a default-off Kconfig option that depends on RCU_NOCB_CPU
that, on CPUs mentioned in the nohz_full or rcu_nocbs boot-argument
CPU lists, causes call_rcu() to introduce delays.
These delays result in significant power savings on nearly idle
Android and ChromeOS systems. These savings range from a few percent
to more than ten percent.
This series also includes several commits that change call_rcu() to a
new call_rcu_hurry() function that avoids these delays in a few
cases, for example, where timely wakeups are required. Several of
these are outside of RCU and thus have acks and reviews from the
relevant maintainers.
- Create an srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() and an srcu_read_unlock_nmisafe()
for architectures that support NMIs, but which do not provide
NMI-safe this_cpu_inc(). These NMI-safe SRCU functions are required
by the upcoming lockless printk() work by John Ogness et al.
- Changes providing minor but important increases in torture test
coverage for the new RCU polled-grace-period APIs.
- Changes to torturescript that avoid redundant kernel builds, thus
providing about a 30% speedup for the torture.sh acceptance test.

Kernels configured with CONFIG_PRINTK=n and CONFIG_SRCU=n get build
failures. This causes trouble for deep embedded systems. But given
that there are more than 25 instances of "select SRCU" in the kernel,
it is hard to believe that there are many kernels running in production
without SRCU. This commit therefore makes SRCU mandatory. The SRCU
Kconfig option remains for backwards compatibility, and will be removed
when it is no longer used.

Implement timer-based RCU callback batching (also known as lazy
callbacks). With this we save about 5-10% of power consumed due
to RCU requests that happen when system is lightly loaded or idle.
By default, all async callbacks (queued via call_rcu) are marked
lazy. An alternate API call_rcu_hurry() is provided for the few users,
for example synchronize_rcu(), that need the old behavior.
The batch is flushed whenever a certain amount of time has passed, or
the batch on a particular CPU grows too big. Also memory pressure will
flush it in a future patch.
To handle several corner cases automagically (such as rcu_barrier() and
hotplug), we re-use bypass lists which were originally introduced to
address lock contention, to handle lazy CBs as well. The bypass list
length has the lazy CB length included in it. A separate lazy CB length
counter is also introduced to keep track of the number of lazy CBs.

Using the NMI-unsafe reader API from within an NMI handler is very likely
to be buggy for three reasons:
1) NMIs aren't strictly re-entrant (a pending nested NMI will execute at
the end of the current one) so it should be fine to use a non-atomic
increment here. However, breakpoints can still interrupt NMIs and if
a breakpoint callback has a reader on that same ssp, a racy increment
can happen.
2) If the only reader site for a given srcu_struct structure is in an
NMI handler, then RCU should be used instead of SRCU.
3) Because of the previous reason (2), an srcu_struct structure having
an SRCU read side critical section in an NMI handler is likely to
have another one from a task context.
For all these reasons, warn if an NMI-unsafe reader API is used from an
NMI handler.

Making polled RCU grace periods account for expedited grace periods
required acquiring the leaf rcu_node structure's lock during early boot,
but after rcu_init() was called. This lock is irq-disabled, but the
code incorrectly assumes that irqs are always disabled when invoking
synchronize_rcu(). The exception is early boot before the scheduler has
started, which means that upon return from synchronize_rcu(), irqs will
be incorrectly enabled.

On strict load-store architectures, the use of this_cpu_inc() by
srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock() is not NMI-safe in TREE SRCU.
To see this suppose that an NMI arrives in the middle of srcu_read_lock(),
just after it has read ->srcu_lock_count, but before it has written
the incremented value back to memory. If that NMI handler also does
srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_lock() on that same srcu_struct structure,
then upon return from that NMI handler, the interrupted srcu_read_lock()
will overwrite the NMI handler's update to ->srcu_lock_count, but
leave unchanged the NMI handler's update by srcu_read_unlock() to
->srcu_unlock_count.
This can result in a too-short SRCU grace period, which can in turn
result in arbitrary memory corruption.
If the NMI handler instead interrupts the srcu_read_unlock(), this
can result in eternal SRCU grace periods, which is not much better.
This commit therefore creates a pair of new srcu_read_lock_nmisafe()
and srcu_read_unlock_nmisafe() functions, which allow SRCU readers in
both NMI handlers and in process and IRQ context. It is bad practice
to mix the existing and the new _nmisafe() primitives on the same
srcu_struct structure. Use one set or the other, not both.
Just to underline that "bad practice" point, using srcu_read_lock() at
process level and srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() in your NMI handler will not,
repeat NOT, work. If you do not immediately understand why this is the
case, please review the earlier paragraphs in this commit log.

When the bypass cblist gets too big or its timeout has occurred, it is
flushed into the main cblist. However, the bypass timer is still running
and the behavior is that it would eventually expire and wake the GP
thread.
Since we are going to use the bypass cblist for lazy CBs, do the wakeup
soon as the flush for "too big or too long" bypass list happens.
Otherwise, long delays can happen for callbacks which get promoted from
lazy to non-lazy.
This is a good thing to do anyway (regardless of future lazy patches),
since it makes the behavior consistent with behavior of other code paths
where flushing into the ->cblist makes the GP kthread into a
non-sleeping state quickly.

In kernels built with either CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL=y or
CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y, additional CPUs must be added to rcu_nocb_mask.
Except that kernels booted without the rcu_nocbs= will not have
allocated rcu_nocb_mask. And the current rcu_init_nohz() function uses
its need_rcu_nocb_mask and offload_all local variables to track the
rcu_nocb and nohz_full state.
But there is a much simpler approach, namely creating a cpumask pointer
to track the default and then using cpumask_available() to check the
rcu_nocb_mask state. This commit takes this approach, thereby simplifying
and shortening the rcu_init_nohz() function.

The rcu_report_dead() function invokes rcu_report_exp_rdp() in order
to force an immediate expedited quiescent state on the outgoing
CPU, and then it invokes rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() to provide any
required deferred quiescent state of either sort. Because the call to
rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() provides the expedited RCU quiescent state if
requested, the call to rcu_report_exp_rdp() is potentially redundant.
One possible issue is a concurrent start of a new expedited RCU
grace period, but this situation is already handled correctly
by __sync_rcu_exp_select_node_cpus(). This function will detect
that the CPU is going offline via the error return from its call
to smp_call_function_single(). In that case, it will retry, and
eventually stop retrying due to rcu_report_exp_rdp() clearing the
->qsmaskinitnext bit corresponding to the target CPU. As a result,
__sync_rcu_exp_select_node_cpus() will report the necessary quiescent
state after dealing with any remaining CPU.
This change assumes that control does not enter rcu_report_dead() within
an RCU read-side critical section, but then again, the surviving call
to rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() has always made this assumption.
This commit therefore removes the call to rcu_report_exp_rdp(), thus
relying on rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() to handle both normal and expedited
quiescent states.

rcu_barrier(), which is OK when the rcutorture.torture_type value is
"rcu", but unhelpful otherwise. The purpose of these barrier calls is to
wait for all outstanding callback-flooding callbacks to be invoked before
cleaning up their data. Using the wrong barrier function therefore
risks arbitrary memory corruption. Thus, this commit changes these
rcu_barrier() calls into cur_ops->cb_barrier() to make things work when
torturing non-vanilla flavors of RCU.

Userspace execution is a valid quiescent state for RCU Tasks Trace,
but the scheduling-clock interrupt does not currently report such
quiescent states.
Of course, the scheduling-clock interrupt is not strictly speaking
userspace execution. However, the only way that this code is not
in a quiescent state is if something invoked rcu_read_lock_trace(),
and that would be reflected in the ->trc_reader_nesting field in
the task_struct structure. Furthermore, this field is checked by
rcu_tasks_trace_qs(), which is invoked by rcu_tasks_qs() which is in
turn invoked by rcu_note_voluntary_context_switch() in kernels building
at least one of the RCU Tasks flavors. It is therefore safe to invoke
rcu_tasks_trace_qs() from the rcu_sched_clock_irq().
But rcu_tasks_qs() also invokes rcu_tasks_classic_qs() for RCU
Tasks, which lacks the read-side markers provided by RCU Tasks Trace.
This raises the possibility that an RCU Tasks grace period could start
after the interrupt from userspace execution, but before the call to
rcu_sched_clock_irq(). However, it turns out that this is safe because
the RCU Tasks grace period waits for an RCU grace period, which will
wait for the entire scheduling-clock interrupt handler, including any
RCU Tasks read-side critical section that this handler might contain.
This commit therefore updates the rcu_sched_clock_irq() function's
check for usermode execution and its call to rcu_tasks_classic_qs()
to instead check for both usermode execution and interrupt from idle,
and to instead call rcu_note_voluntary_context_switch(). This
consolidates code and provides more faster RCU Tasks Trace
reporting of quiescent states in kernels that do scheduling-clock
interrupts for userspace execution.

The RCU Tasks Trace grace-period kthread loops across all CPUs, and
there can be quite a few CPUs, with some commercially available systems
sporting well over a thousand of them. Some of these loops can feature
IPIs, which can take some time. This commit therefore places a call to
cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs() in each such loop.

It would be good do reduce the size of the rcu_gp_oldstate structure
from three unsigned long instances to two, but this requires that the
boot-time optimized grace periods update the various ->gp_seq fields.
Updating these fields in the rcu_state structure and in all of the
rcu_node structures is at least semi-reasonable, but updating them in
all of the rcu_data structures is a bridge too far. This means that if
there are too many early boot-time grace periods, the ->gp_seq field in
the rcu_data structure cannot be trusted. This commit therefore sets
each rcu_data structure's ->gpwrap field to provide the necessary impetus
for a suitable level of distrust.

The run-time single-CPU grace-period optimization applies only to
kernels built with CONFIG_SMP=y && CONFIG_PREEMPTION=y that are running

should instead be built with CONFIG_SMP=n, and in any case, single-CPU
systems running Linux no longer appear to be the common case. Plus this
optimization results in the rcu_gp_oldstate structure being half again

The fill_page_cache_func() function allocates couple of pages to store
kvfree_rcu_bulk_data structures. This is a lightweight (GFP_NORETRY)
allocation which can fail under memory pressure. The function will,
however keep retrying even when the previous attempt has failed.
This retrying is in theory correct, but in practice the allocation is
invoked from workqueue context, which means that if the memory reclaim
gets stuck, these retries can hog the worker for quite some time.
Although the workqueues subsystem automatically adjusts concurrency, such
adjustment is not guaranteed to happen until the worker context sleeps.
And the fill_page_cache_func() function's retry loop is not guaranteed
to sleep (see the should_reclaim_retry() function).
And we have seen this function cause workqueue lockups:
kernel: BUG: workqueue lockup - pool cpus=93 node=1 flags=0x1 nice=0 stuck for 32s!
[...]
kernel: pool 74: cpus=37 node=0 flags=0x1 nice=0 hung=32s workers=2 manager: 2146
kernel: pwq 498: cpus=249 node=1 flags=0x1 nice=0 active=4/256 refcnt=5
kernel: in-flight: 1917:fill_page_cache_func
kernel: pending: dbs_work_handler, free_work, kfree_rcu_monitor
Originally, we thought that the root cause of this lockup was several
retries with direct reclaim, but this is not yet confirmed. Furthermore,
we have seen similar lockups without any heavy memory pressure. This
suggests that there are other factors contributing to these lockups.
However, it is not really clear that endless retries are desireable.
So let's make the fill_page_cache_func() function back off after
allocation failure.

Kernels built with PREEMPT_RCU=y and RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y trigger
irq-work from rcu_read_unlock(), and the resulting irq-work handler
invokes rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handle(). The point of this triggering
is to force grace periods to end quickly in order to give tools like KASAN
a better chance of detecting RCU usage bugs such as leaking RCU-protected
pointers out of an RCU read-side critical section.
However, this irq-work triggering is unconditional. This works, but
there is no point in doing this irq-work unless the current grace period
is waiting on the running CPU or task, which is not the common case.
After all, in the common case there are many rcu_read_unlock() calls
per CPU per grace period.
This commit therefore triggers the irq-work only when the current grace
period is waiting on the running CPU or task.
This change was tested as follows on a four-CPU system:
echo rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handler > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/function_profile_enabled
insmod rcutorture.ko
sleep 20
rmmod rcutorture.ko
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/function_profile_enabled
echo > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
This procedure produces results in this per-CPU set of files:
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/function*
Sample output from one of these files is as follows:
Function Hit Time Avg s^2
-------- --- ---- --- ---
rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handle 838746 182650.3 us 0.217 us 0.004 us
The baseline sum of the "Hit" values (the number of calls to this
function) was 3,319,015. With this commit, that sum was 1,140,359,
for a 2.9x reduction. The worst-case variance across the CPUs was less
than 25%, so this large effect size is statistically significant.

The trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() function attempts to send an NMI to the

dump_cpu_task() function's approach of dumping that stack from some other

Therefore, move the trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() invocation into

Given that rcu_all_qs() is in non-preemptible kernels, why on earth should
it invoke preempt_disable()? This commit adds the reason, which is to
work nicely with debugging enabled in CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT=y kernels.

Currently, only Tree RCU leaks callbacks setting when it detects a
duplicate call_rcu(). This commit causes Tiny RCU to also leak
callbacks in this situation.
Because this is Tiny RCU, kernel size is important:
1. CONFIG_TINY_RCU=y and CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD=n
(Production kernel)
Original:

26290663 20159823 15212544 61663030 3ace736 vmlinux
With this commit:
text data bss dec hex filename
26290663 20159823 15212544 61663030 3ace736 vmlinux
2. CONFIG_TINY_RCU=y and CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD=y
(Debugging kernel)
Original:
text data bss dec hex filename
26291319 20160143 15212544 61664006 3aceb06 vmlinux
With this commit:

26291319 20160431 15212544 61664294 3acec26 vmlinux
These results show that the kernel size is unchanged for production
kernels, as desired.

Kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPTION=n and CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT=y maintain
preempt_count() state. Because such kernels map __rcu_read_lock()
and __rcu_read_unlock() to preempt_disable() and preempt_enable(),
respectively, this allows the expedited grace period's !CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU
version of the rcu_exp_handler() IPI handler function to use
preempt_count() to detect quiescent states.
This preempt_count() usage might seem to risk failures due to
use of implicit RCU readers in portions of the kernel under #ifndef
CONFIG_PREEMPTION, except that rcu_core() already disallows such implicit
RCU readers. The moral of this story is that you must use explicit
read-side markings such as rcu_read_lock() or preempt_disable() even if
the code knows that this kernel does not support preemption.
This commit therefore adds a preempt_count()-based check for a quiescent
state in the !CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU version of the rcu_exp_handler()
function for kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT=y, reporting an
immediate quiescent state when the interrupted code had both preemption
and softirqs enabled.
This change results in about a 2% reduction in expedited grace-period
latency in kernels built with both CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=n and
CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT=y.

In non-premptible kernels, tasks never do context switches within
RCU read-side critical sections. Therefore, in such kernels, each
leaf rcu_node structure's ->blkd_tasks list will always be empty.
The comment on the non-preemptible version of rcu_preempt_deferred_qs()
confuses this point, so this commit therefore fixes it.

Kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT=n and CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y
report the quiescent state directly from the outermost rcu_read_unlock().
However, the current CPU's rcu_data structure's ->cpu_no_qs.b.norm
might still be set, in which case rcu_report_qs_rdp() will exit early,
thus failing to report quiescent state.
This commit therefore causes rcu_read_unlock_strict() to clear
CPU's rcu_data structure's ->cpu_no_qs.b.norm field before invoking
rcu_report_qs_rdp().

This pull request contains a pair of commits that fix 282d8998e9 ("srcu:
Prevent expedited GPs and blocking readers from consuming CPU"), which
was itself a fix to an SRCU expedited grace-period problem that could
prevent kernel live patching (KLP) from completing. That SRCU fix for
KLP introduced large (as in minutes) boot-time delays to embedded Linux
kernels running on qemu/KVM. These delays were due to the emulation of
certain MMIO operations controlling memory layout, which were emulated
with one expedited grace period per access. Common configurations
required thousands of boot-time MMIO accesses, and thus thousands of
boot-time expedited SRCU grace periods.
In these configurations, the occasional sleeps that allowed KLP to proceed
caused excessive boot delays. These commits preserve enough sleeps to
permit KLP to proceed, but few enough that the virtual embedded kernels
still boot reasonably quickly.
This represents a regression introduced in the v5.19 merge window,
and the bug is causing significant inconvenience, hence this pull request.

srcu: Make expedited RCU grace periods block even less frequently
srcu: Block less aggressively for expedited grace periods
If a CPU has interrupts disabled continuously starting before the
beginning of a given expedited RCU grace period, that CPU will not
execute that grace period's IPI handler. This will in turn mean
that the ->cpu_no_qs.b.exp field in that CPU's rcu_data structure
will continue to contain the boolean value false.
Knowing whether or not a CPU has had interrupts disabled can be helpful
when debugging an expedited RCU CPU stall warning, so this commit
adds a "D" indicator expedited RCU CPU stall warnings that signifies
that the corresponding CPU has had interrupts disabled throughout.
This capability was tested as follows:
runqemu kvm slirp nographic qemuparams="-m 4096 -smp 4" bootparams=

rcutorture.stall_no_softlockup=1" -d
The rcu_torture_stall() function ran on CPU 1, which displays the "D"
as expected given the rcutorture.stall_cpu_irqsoff=1 module parameter:

When a normal RCU CPU stall warning is encountered with the
panic_on_rcu_stall sysfs variable is set, the system panics only after
the stall warning is printed. But when an expedited RCU CPU stall
warning is encountered with the panic_on_rcu_stall sysfs variable is
set, the system panics first, thus never printing the stall warning.
This commit therefore brings the expedited stall warning into line with
the normal stall warning by printing first and panicking afterwards.

This commit adds expedited grace-period functionality to RCU's polled
grace-period API, adding start_poll_synchronize_rcu_expedited() and
cond_synchronize_rcu_expedited(), which are similar to the existing
start_poll_synchronize_rcu() and cond_synchronize_rcu() functions,
respectively.
Note that although start_poll_synchronize_rcu_expedited() can be invoked
very early, the resulting expedited grace periods are not guaranteed
to start until after workqueues are fully initialized. On the other
hand, both synchronize_rcu() and synchronize_rcu_expedited() can also
be invoked very early, and the resulting grace periods will be taken
into account as they occur.

This commit causes rcu_torture_writer() to use WARN_ON_ONCE() to check
that the cookie returned by the current RCU flavor's ->get_gp_state()
function (get_state_synchronize_rcu() for vanilla RCU) causes that
flavor's ->poll_gp_state function (poll_state_synchronize_rcu() for
vanilla RCU) to unconditionally return true.
Note that a pair calls to synchronous grace-period-wait functions are
used. This is necessary to account for partially overlapping normal and
expedited grace periods aligning in just the wrong way with polled API
invocations, which can cause those polled API invocations to ignore one or
the other of those partially overlapping grace periods. It is unlikely
that this sort of ignored grace period will be a problem in production,
but rcutorture can make it happen quite within a few tens of seconds.
This commit is in preparation for polled expedited grace periods.

Currently, this code could splat:
oldstate = get_state_synchronize_rcu();
synchronize_rcu_expedited();
WARN_ON_ONCE(!poll_state_synchronize_rcu(oldstate));
This situation is counter-intuitive and user-unfriendly. After all, there
really was a perfectly valid full grace period right after the call to
get_state_synchronize_rcu(), so why shouldn't poll_state_synchronize_rcu()
know about it?
This commit therefore makes the polled grace-period API aware of expedited
grace periods in addition to the normal grace periods that it is already
aware of. With this change, the above code is guaranteed not to splat.
Please note that the above code can still splat due to counter wrap on the
one hand and situations involving partially overlapping normal/expedited
grace periods on the other. On 64-bit systems, the second is of course
much more likely than the first. It is possible to modify this approach
to prevent overlapping grace periods from causing splats, but only at
the expense of greatly increasing the probability of counter wrap, as
in within milliseconds on 32-bit systems and within minutes on 64-bit
systems.
This commit is in preparation for polled expedited grace periods.

This commit switches the existing polled grace-period APIs to use a
new ->gp_seq_polled counter in the rcu_state structure. An additional
->gp_seq_polled_snap counter in that same structure allows the normal
grace period kthread to interact properly with the !SMP !PREEMPT fastpath
through synchronize_rcu(). The first of the two to note the end of a
given grace period will make knowledge of this transition available to
the polled API.
This commit is in preparation for polled expedited grace periods.

Currently, if the 'rcu_nocb_poll' kernel boot parameter is enabled, all
rcuog kthreads enter polling mode. However, if all of a given group
of rcuo kthreads correspond to CPUs that have been de-offloaded, the
corresponding rcuog kthread will nonetheless still wake up periodically,
unnecessarily consuming power and perturbing workloads. Fortunately,
this situation is easily detected by the fact that the rcuog kthread's
CPU's rcu_data structure's ->nocb_head_rdp list is empty.
This commit saves power and avoids unnecessarily perturbing workloads
by putting an rcuog kthread to sleep during any time period when all of
its rcuo kthreads' CPUs are de-offloaded.

This commit introduces a RCU_NOCB_CPU_CB_BOOST Kconfig option that
prevents rcuo kthreads from running at real-time priority, even in
kernels built with RCU_BOOST. This capability is important to devices
needing low-latency (as in a few milliseconds) response from expedited
RCU grace periods, but which are not running a classic real-time workload.
On such devices, permitting the rcuo kthreads to run at real-time priority
results in unacceptable latencies imposed on the application tasks,
which run as SCHED_OTHER.
See for example the following trace output:
<snip>
<...>-60 [006] d..1 2979.028717: rcu_batch_start: rcu_preempt CBs=34619 bl=270
<snip>
If that rcuop kthread were permitted to run at real-time SCHED_FIFO
priority, it would monopolize its CPU for hundreds of milliseconds
while invoking those 34619 RCU callback functions, which would cause an
unacceptably long latency spike for many application stacks on Android
platforms.
However, some existing real-time workloads require that callback
invocation run at SCHED_FIFO priority, for example, those running on
systems with heavy SCHED_OTHER background loads. (It is the real-time
system's administrator's responsibility to make sure that important
real-time tasks run at a higher priority than do RCU's kthreads.)
Therefore, this new RCU_NOCB_CPU_CB_BOOST Kconfig option defaults to
"y" on kernels built with PREEMPT_RT and defaults to "n" otherwise.
The effect is to preserve current behavior for real-time systems, but for
other systems to allow expedited RCU grace periods to run with real-time
priority while continuing to invoke RCU callbacks as SCHED_OTHER.
As you would expect, this RCU_NOCB_CPU_CB_BOOST Kconfig option has no
effect except on CPUs with offloaded RCU callbacks.

In case of failure to spawn either rcuog or rcuo[p] kthreads for a given

lock and the barrier_mutex held. However cpus write lock is already held
while calling rcutree_prepare_cpu(). It's not possible to call
rcu_nocb_rdp_deoffload() from there with just locking the barrier_mutex
or this would result in a locking inversion against
rcu_nocb_cpu_deoffload() which holds both locks in the reverse order.
Simply solve this with inverting the locking order inside
rcu_nocb_cpu_[de]offload(). This will be a pre-requisite to toggle NOCB

NOCB rdp's are part of a group whose list is iterated by the
corresponding rdp leader.
This list is RCU traversed because an rdp can be either added or
deleted concurrently. Upon addition, a new iteration to the list after
a synchronization point (a pair of LOCK/UNLOCK ->nocb_gp_lock) is forced
to make sure:
1) we didn't miss a new element added in the middle of an iteration
2) we didn't ignore a whole subset of the list due to an element being
quickly deleted and then re-added.
3) we prevent from probably other surprises...
Although this layout is expected to be safe, it doesn't help anybody
to sleep well.
Simplify instead the nocb state toggling with moving the list
modification from the nocb (de-)offloading workqueue to the rcuog
kthreads instead.
Whenever the rdp leader is expected to (re-)set the SEGCBLIST_KTHREAD_GP
flag of a target rdp, the latter is queued so that the leader handles
the flag flip along with adding or deleting the target rdp to the list
to iterate. This way the list modification and iteration happen from the
same kthread and those operations can't race altogether.
As a bonus, the flags for each rdp don't need to be checked locklessly
before each iteration, which is one less opportunity to produce
nightmares.

When a CPU is slow to provide a quiescent state for a given grace
period, RCU takes steps to encourage that CPU to get with the
quiescent-state program in a more timely fashion. These steps
include these flags in the rcu_data structure:
1. ->rcu_urgent_qs, which causes the scheduling-clock interrupt to
request an otherwise pointless context switch from the scheduler.
2. ->rcu_need_heavy_qs, which causes both cond_resched() and RCU's
context-switch hook to do an immediate momentary quiscent state.
3. ->rcu_need_heavy_qs, which causes the scheduler-clock tick to
be enabled even on nohz_full CPUs with only one runnable task.
These flags are of course cleared once the corresponding CPU has passed
through a quiescent state. Unless that quiescent state is the CPU
going offline, which means that when the CPU comes back online, it will
needlessly consume additional CPU time and incur additional latency,
which constitutes a minor but very real performance bug.
This commit therefore adds the call to rcu_disable_urgency_upon_qs()
that clears these flags to the CPU-hotplug offlining code path.

The purpose of commit 282d8998e9 ("srcu: Prevent expedited GPs
and blocking readers from consuming CPU") was to prevent a long
series of never-blocking expedited SRCU grace periods from blocking
kernel-live-patching (KLP) progress. Although it was successful, it also
resulted in excessive boot times on certain embedded workloads running
under qemu with the "-bios QEMU_EFI.fd" command line. Here "excessive"
means increasing the boot time up into the three-to-four minute range.
This increase in boot time was due to the more than 6000 back-to-back
invocations of synchronize_rcu_expedited() within the KVM host OS, which
in turn resulted from qemu's emulation of a long series of MMIO accesses.
Commit 640a7d37c3f4 ("srcu: Block less aggressively for expedited grace
periods") did not significantly help this particular use case.
Zhangfei Gao and Shameerali Kolothum Thodi did experiments varying the
value of SRCU_MAX_NODELAY_PHASE with HZ=250 and with various values
of non-sleeping per phase counts on a system with preemption enabled,
and observed the following boot times:
+──────────────────────────+────────────────+
| SRCU_MAX_NODELAY_PHASE | Boot time (s) |
+──────────────────────────+────────────────+
| 100 | 30.053 |
| 150 | 25.151 |
| 200 | 20.704 |
| 250 | 15.748 |
| 500 | 11.401 |
| 1000 | 11.443 |
| 10000 | 11.258 |
| 1000000 | 11.154 |
+──────────────────────────+────────────────+
Analysis on the experiment results show additional improvements with
CPU-bound delays approaching one jiffy in duration. This improvement was
also seen when number of per-phase iterations were scaled to one jiffy.
This commit therefore scales per-grace-period phase number of non-sleeping
polls so that non-sleeping polls extend for about one jiffy. In addition,
the delay-calculation call to srcu_get_delay() in srcu_gp_end() is
replaced with a simple check for an expedited grace period. This change
schedules callback invocation immediately after expedited grace periods
complete, which results in greatly improved boot times. Testing done
by Marc and Zhangfei confirms that this change recovers most of the
performance degradation in boottime; for CONFIG_HZ_250 configuration,
specifically, boot times improve from 3m50s to 41s on Marc's setup;
and from 2m40s to ~9.7s on Zhangfei's setup.
In addition to the changes to default per phase delays, this
change adds 3 new kernel parameters - srcutree.srcu_max_nodelay,
srcutree.srcu_max_nodelay_phase, and srcutree.srcu_retry_check_delay.
This allows users to configure the srcu grace period scanning delays in
order to more quickly react to additional use cases.

Commit 282d8998e9 ("srcu: Prevent expedited GPs and blocking readers

grace period could block kernel live patching. It did so by giving up
on expediting once a given SRCU expedited grace period grew too old.
Unfortunately, this added excessive delays to boots of virtual embedded
systems specifying "-bios QEMU_EFI.fd" to qemu. This commit therefore
makes the transition away from expediting less aggressive, increasing
the per-grace-period phase number of non-sleeping polls of readers from
one to three and increasing the required grace-period age from one jiffy
(actually from zero to one jiffies) to two jiffies (actually from one

The intent of the CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD Konfig option is to
cause normal grace periods to complete quickly in order to better catch
errors resulting from improperly leaking pointers from RCU read-side
critical sections. However, kernels built with this option enabled still
wait for some hundreds of milliseconds before boosting RCU readers that
have been preempted within their current critical section. The value
of this delay is set by the CONFIG_RCU_BOOST_DELAY Kconfig option,
which defaults to 500 milliseconds.
This commit therefore causes kernels build with strict grace periods
to ignore CONFIG_RCU_BOOST_DELAY. This causes rcu_initiate_boost()
to start boosting immediately after all CPUs on a given leaf rcu_node
structure have passed through their quiescent states.

Currently, the rcu_node structure's ->cbovlmask field is set in call_rcu()
when a given CPU is suffering from callback overload. But if that CPU
goes offline, the outgoing CPU's callbacks is migrated to the running
CPU, which is likely to overload the running CPU. However, that CPU's
bit in its leaf rcu_node structure's ->cbovlmask field remains zero.
Initially, this is OK because the outgoing CPU's bit remains set.
However, that bit will be cleared at the next end of a grace period,
at which time it is quite possible that the running CPU will still
be overloaded. If the running CPU invokes call_rcu(), then overload
will be checked for and the bit will be set. Except that there is no
guarantee that the running CPU will invoke call_rcu(), in which case the
next grace period will fail to take the running CPU's overload condition
into account. Plus, because the bit is not set, the end of the grace
period won't check for overload on this CPU.
This commit therefore adds a call to check_cb_ovld_locked() in

The force-quiesce-state loop function rcu_gp_fqs_loop() checks for
callback overloading and does an immediate initial scan for idle CPUs
if so. However, subsequent rescans will be carried out at as leisurely a
rate as they always are, as specified by the rcutree.jiffies_till_next_fqs
module parameter. It might be tempting to just continue immediately
rescanning, but this turns the RCU grace-period kthread into a CPU hog.
It might also be tempting to reduce the time between rescans to a single
jiffy, but this can be problematic on larger systems.
This commit therefore divides the normal time between rescans by three,

three between rescans.

Currently shrinkers are anonymous objects. For debugging purposes they
can be identified by count/scan function names, but it's not always
useful: e.g. for superblock's shrinkers it's nice to have at least an
idea of to which superblock the shrinker belongs.
This commit adds names to shrinkers. register_shrinker() and
prealloc_shrinker() functions are extended to take a format and arguments
to master a name.
In some cases it's not possible to determine a good name at the time when
a shrinker is allocated. For such cases shrinker_debugfs_rename() is
provided.
The expected format is:
<subsystem>-<shrinker_type>[:<instance>]-<id>
For some shrinkers an instance can be encoded as (MAJOR:MINOR) pair.
After this change the shrinker debugfs directory looks like:
$ cd /sys/kernel/debug/shrinker/

This reverts commit 2bb2b7b57f.
The testing of 5.19 release candidates revealed missing synchronization
between early and regular console functionality.
It would be possible to start the console kthreads later as a workaround.
But it is clear that console lock serialized console drivers between
each other. It opens a big area of possible problems that were not
considered by people involved in the development and review.
printk() is crucial for debugging kernel issues and console output is
very important part of it. The number of consoles is huge and a proper
review would take some time. As a result it need to be reverted for 5.19.

The RCU priority boosting can fail in two situations:
1) If (nr_cpus= > maxcpus=), which means if the total number of CPUs
is higher than those brought online at boot, then torture_onoff() may
later bring up CPUs that weren't online on boot. Now since rcutorture
initialization only boosts the ksoftirqds of the CPUs that have been
set online on boot, the CPUs later set online by torture_onoff won't
benefit from the boost, making RCU priority boosting fail.
2) The ksoftirqd kthreads are boosted after the creation of
rcu_torture_boost() kthreads, which opens a window large enough for these
rcu_torture_boost() kthreads to wait (despite running at FIFO priority)
for ksoftirqds that are still running at SCHED_NORMAL priority.
The issues can trigger for example with:
./kvm.sh --configs TREE01 --kconfig "CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y"

Dumping a big ftrace buffer could lead to a RCU stall. So there is the
ftrace buffer and the stall information which needs to be printed. When
there is additionally a WARN_ON() which describes the reason for the ftrace
buffer dump and the WARN_ON() is executed _after_ ftrace buffer dump, the
information get lost in the middle of the RCU stall information.
Therefore print WARN_ON() message before dumping the ftrace buffer in
rcu_torture_writer().

Commit 2585014188d5 ("rcu-tasks: Be more patient for RCU Tasks

failure by repeating the test once every second until timeout using
schedule_timeout_uninterruptible().
Since rcu_tasks_verify_selft_tests() is called from do_initcalls()
as a late_initcall, this has the undesirable side effect of delaying
other late_initcall's queued after it by a second or more. Fix this by
instead using delayed_work to repeat the verification check.

The RCU-Tasks family of grace-period primitives can take some time to
complete, and the amount of time can depend on the exact hardware and
software configuration. Some configurations boot up fast enough that the
RCU-Tasks verification process gets false-positive failures. This commit
therefore allows up to 30 seconds for the grace periods to complete, with
this value adjustable downwards using the rcupdate.rcu_task_stall_timeout
kernel boot parameter.

The rcu_tasks_trace_pregp_step() function invokes cpus_read_lock() to
disable CPU hotplug, and a later call to the rcu_tasks_trace_postscan()
function invokes cpus_read_unlock() to re-enable it. This was absolutely
necessary in the past in order to protect the intervening scan of the full
tasks list, but there is no longer such a scan. This commit therefore
improves readability by moving the cpus_read_unlock() call to the end
of the rcu_tasks_trace_pregp_step() function. This commit is a pure
code-motion commit without any (intended) change in functionality.

Currently, the RCU Tasks Trace grace-period kthread IPIs each online CPU
using smp_call_function_single() in order to track any tasks currently in
RCU Tasks Trace read-side critical sections during which the corresponding
task has neither blocked nor been preempted. These IPIs are annoying
and are also not strictly necessary because any task that blocks or is
preempted within its current RCU Tasks Trace read-side critical section
will be tracked on one of the per-CPU rcu_tasks_percpu structure's
->rtp_blkd_tasks list. So the only time that this is a problem is if
one of the CPUs runs through a long-duration RCU Tasks Trace read-side
critical section without a context switch.
Note that the task_call_func() function cannot help here because there is
no safe way to identify the target task. Of course, the task_call_func()
function will be very useful later, when processing the list of tasks,
but it needs to know the task.
This commit therefore creates a cpu_curr_snapshot() function that returns
a pointer the task_struct structure of some task that happened to be
running on the specified CPU more or less during the time that the
cpu_curr_snapshot() function was executing. If there was no context
switch during this time, this function will return a pointer to the
task_struct structure of the task that was running throughout. If there
was a context switch, then the outgoing task will be taken care of by
RCU's context-switch hook, and the incoming task was either already taken
care during some previous context switch, or it is not currently within an
RCU Tasks Trace read-side critical section. And in this latter case, the
grace period already started, so there is no need to wait on this task.
This new cpu_curr_snapshot() function is invoked on each CPU early in
the RCU Tasks Trace grace-period processing, and the resulting tasks
are queued for later quiescent-state inspection.

This commit maintains a new n_trc_holdouts counter that tracks the number
of tasks blocking the RCU Tasks grace period. This counter is useful
for debugging, and its value has been added to a diagostic message.

This commit takes off the training wheels and relies only on scanning
currently running tasks and tasks that have blocked or been preempted
within their current RCU Tasks Trace read-side critical section.
Before this commit, the time complexity of an RCU Tasks Trace grace
period is O(T), where T is the number of tasks. After this commit,
this time complexity is O(C+B), where C is the number of CPUs and B
is the number of tasks that have blocked (or been preempted) at least
once during their current RCU Tasks Trace read-side critical sections.
Of course, if all tasks have blocked (or been preempted) at least once
during their current RCU Tasks Trace read-side critical sections, this is
still O(T), but current expectations are that RCU Tasks Trace read-side
critical section will be short and that there will normally not be large
numbers of tasks blocked within such a critical section.
Dave Marchevsky kindly measured the effects of this commit on the RCU
Tasks Trace grace-period latency and the rcu_tasks_trace_kthread task's
CPU consumption per RCU Tasks Trace grace period over the course of a
fixed test, all in milliseconds:
Before After
GP latency 22.3 ms stddev > 0.1 17.0 ms stddev < 0.1
GP CPU 2.3 ms stddev 0.3 1.1 ms stddev 0.2
This was on a system with 15,000 tasks, so it is reasonable to expect
much larger savings on the systems on which this issue was first noted,
given that they sport well in excess of 100,000 tasks. CPU consumption
was measured using profiling techniques.

This commit updates the rcutorture.fwd_progress help text to say that
it is the number of forward-progress kthreads to spawn rather than the
old enable/disable functionality. While in the area, make the list of
torture-test parameters easier to read by taking advantage of 100 columns.

This commit applies the "noinstr" tag to the rcu_idle_enter() and
rcu_idle_exit() functions, which are invoked from portions of the idle
loop that cannot be instrumented. These tags require reworking the
rcu_eqs_enter() and rcu_eqs_exit() functions that these two functions
invoke in order to cause them to use normal assertions rather than
lockdep. In addition, within rcu_idle_exit(), the raw versions of
local_irq_save() and local_irq_restore() are used, again to avoid issues
with lockdep in uninstrumented code.
This patch is based in part on an earlier patch by Jiri Olsa, discussions
with Peter Zijlstra and Frederic Weisbecker, earlier changes by Thomas
Gleixner, and off-list discussions with Yonghong Song.

If the rcutree.use_softirq kernel boot parameter is disabled, then it is
possible that a RCU CPU stall is due to the rcuc kthreads being starved of
CPU time. There is currently no easy way to infer this from the RCU CPU
stall warning output. This commit therefore adds a string of the form "
rcuc=%ld jiffies(starved)" to a given CPU's output if the corresponding
rcuc kthread has been starved for more than two seconds.

Now that RCU scans both running tasks and tasks that have blocked within
their current RCU Tasks Trace read-side critical section, there is no
need for it to scan the idle tasks. After all, an idle loop should not
be remain within an RCU Tasks Trace read-side critical section across
exit from idle, and from a BPF viewpoint, functions invoked from the
idle loop should not sleep. So only running idle tasks can be within
RCU Tasks Trace read-side critical sections.
This commit therefore removes the scan of the idle tasks from the
rcu_tasks_trace_postscan() function.

This commit scans each CPU's ->rtp_blkd_tasks list, adding them to
the list of holdout tasks. This will cause the current RCU Tasks Trace
grace period to wait until these tasks exit their RCU Tasks Trace
read-side critical sections. This commit will enable later work
omitting the scan of the full task list.
