Same as rcu_is_watching() but without the preempt_disable/enable() pair
inside the function. It is merked noinstr so it ends up in the
non-instrumentable text section.
This is useful for non-preemptible code especially in the low level entry
section. Using rcu_is_watching() there results in a call to the
preempt_schedule_notrace() thunk which triggers noinstr section warnings in
objtool.

Interrupts and exceptions invoke rcu_irq_enter() on entry and need to
invoke rcu_irq_exit() before they either return to the interrupted code or
invoke the scheduler due to preemption.
The general assumption is that RCU idle code has to have preemption
disabled so that a return from interrupt cannot schedule. So the return
from interrupt code invokes rcu_irq_exit() and preempt_schedule_irq().
If there is any imbalance in the rcu_irq/nmi* invocations or RCU idle code
had preemption enabled then this goes unnoticed until the CPU goes idle or
some other RCU check is executed.
Provide rcu_irq_exit_preempt() which can be invoked from the
interrupt/exception return code in case that preemption is enabled. It
invokes rcu_irq_exit() and contains a few sanity checks in case that
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU is enabled to catch such issues directly.

The rcu_nmi_enter_common() and rcu_nmi_exit_common() functions take an
"irq" parameter that indicates whether these functions have been invoked from
an irq handler (irq==true) or an NMI handler (irq==false).
However, recent changes have applied notrace to a few critical functions
such that rcu_nmi_enter_common() and rcu_nmi_exit_common() many now rely on
in_nmi(). Note that in_nmi() works no differently than before, but rather
that tracing is now prohibited in code regions where in_nmi() would
incorrectly report NMI state.
Therefore remove the "irq" parameter and inline rcu_nmi_enter_common() and
rcu_nmi_exit_common() into rcu_nmi_enter() and rcu_nmi_exit(),
respectively.

Systems running CPU-bound real-time task do not want IPIs sent to CPUs
executing nohz_full userspace tasks. Battery-powered systems don't
want IPIs sent to idle CPUs in low-power mode. Unfortunately, RCU tasks
trace can and will send such IPIs in some cases.
Both of these situations occur only when the target CPU is in RCU
dyntick-idle mode, in other words, when RCU is not watching the
target CPU. This suggests that CPUs in dyntick-idle mode should use
memory barriers in outermost invocations of rcu_read_lock_trace()
and rcu_read_unlock_trace(), which would allow the RCU tasks trace
grace period to directly read out the target CPU's read-side state.
One challenge is that RCU tasks trace is not targeting a specific
CPU, but rather a task. And that task could switch from one CPU to
another at any time.
This commit therefore uses try_invoke_on_locked_down_task()
and checks for task_curr() in trc_inspect_reader_notrunning().
When this condition holds, the target task is running and cannot move.
If CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB=y, the new rcu_dynticks_zero_in_eqs()
function can be used to check if the specified integer (in this case,
t->trc_reader_nesting) is zero while the target CPU remains in that same
dyntick-idle sojourn. If so, the target task is in a quiescent state.
If not, trc_read_check_handler() must indicate failure so that the
grace-period kthread can take appropriate action or retry after an
appropriate delay, as the case may be.
With this change, given CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB=y, if a given
CPU remains idle or a given task continues executing in nohz_full mode,
the RCU tasks trace grace-period kthread will detect this without the
need to send an IPI.

To reduce grace periods and improve kfree() performance, we have done
batching recently dramatically bringing down the number of grace periods
while giving us the ability to use kfree_bulk() for efficient kfree'ing.
However, this has increased the likelihood of OOM condition under heavy
kfree_rcu() flood on small memory systems. This patch introduces a
shrinker which starts grace periods right away if the system is under
memory pressure due to existence of objects that have still not started
a grace period.
With this patch, I do not observe an OOM anymore on a system with 512MB
RAM and 8 CPUs, with the following rcuperf options:
rcuperf.kfree_loops=20000 rcuperf.kfree_alloc_num=8000
rcuperf.kfree_rcu_test=1 rcuperf.kfree_mult=2
Otherwise it easily OOMs with the above parameters.
NOTE:
1. On systems with no memory pressure, the patch has no effect as intended.
2. In the future, we can use this same mechanism to prevent grace periods
from happening even more, by relying on shrinkers carefully.

The rcu_nmi_enter_common() function can be invoked both in interrupt

to userspace or idle context) on a nohz_full CPU, it might acquire the
CPU's leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock. Because this lock is held only
with interrupts disabled, this is safe from an interrupt handler, but
doing so from an NMI handler can result in self-deadlock.
This commit therefore adds "irq" to the "if" condition so as to only
acquire the ->lock from irq handlers or process context, never from

Currently, rcu_barrier() ignores offline CPUs, However, it is possible
for an offline no-CBs CPU to have callbacks queued, and rcu_barrier()
must wait for those callbacks. This commit therefore makes rcu_barrier()
directly invoke the rcu_barrier_func() with interrupts disabled for such
CPUs. This requires passing the CPU number into this function so that
it can entrain the rcu_barrier() callback onto the correct CPU's callback
list, given that the code must instead execute on the current CPU.
While in the area, this commit fixes a bug where the first CPU's callback
might have been invoked before rcu_segcblist_entrain() returned, which
would also result in an early wakeup.

In default configutions, RCU currently waits at least 100 milliseconds
before asking cond_resched() and/or resched_rcu() for help seeking
quiescent states to end a grace period. But 100 milliseconds can be
one good long time during an RCU callback flood, for example, as can
happen when user processes repeatedly open and close files in a tight
loop. These 100-millisecond gaps in successive grace periods during a
callback flood can result in excessive numbers of callbacks piling up,
unnecessarily increasing memory footprint.
This commit therefore asks cond_resched() and/or resched_rcu() for help
as early as the first FQS scan when at least one of the CPUs has more
than 20,000 callbacks queued, a number that can be changed using the new
rcutree.qovld kernel boot parameter. An auxiliary qovld_calc variable
is used to avoid acquisition of locks that have not yet been initialized.
Early tests indicate that this reduces the RCU-callback memory footprint
during rcutorture floods by from 50% to 4x, depending on configuration.

The rcu_data structure's ->core_needs_qs field does not necessarily get
cleared in a timely fashion after the corresponding CPUs' quiescent state
has been reported. From a functional viewpoint, no harm done, but this
can result in excessive invocation of RCU core processing, as witnessed
by the kernel test robot, which saw greatly increased softirq overhead.
This commit therefore restores the rcu_report_qs_rdp() function's
clearing of this field, but only when running on the corresponding CPU.
Cases where some other CPU reports the quiescent state (for example, on
behalf of an idle CPU) are handled by setting this field appropriately
within the __note_gp_changes() function's end-of-grace-period checks.
This handling is carried out regardless of whether the end of a grace
period actually happened, thus handling the case where a CPU goes non-idle
after a quiescent state is reported on its behalf, but before the grace
period ends. This fix also avoids cross-CPU updates to ->core_needs_qs,
While in the area, this commit changes the __note_gp_changes() need_gp
variable's name to need_qs because it is a quiescent state that is needed
from the CPU in question.

The kfree_rcu() logic can be improved further by using kfree_bulk()
interface along with "basic batching support" introduced earlier.
The are at least two advantages of using "bulk" interface:
- in case of large number of kfree_rcu() requests kfree_bulk()
reduces the per-object overhead caused by calling kfree()
per-object.
- reduces the number of cache-misses due to "pointer chasing"
between objects which can be far spread between each other.
This approach defines a new kfree_rcu_bulk_data structure that
stores pointers in an array with a specific size. Number of entries
in that array depends on PAGE_SIZE making kfree_rcu_bulk_data
structure to be exactly one page.
Since it deals with "block-chain" technique there is an extra
need in dynamic allocation when a new block is required. Memory
is allocated with GFP_NOWAIT | __GFP_NOWARN flags, i.e. that
allows to skip direct reclaim under low memory condition to
prevent stalling and fails silently under high memory pressure.
The "emergency path" gets maintained when a system is run out of
memory. In that case objects are linked into regular list.
The "rcuperf" was run to analyze this change in terms of memory
consumption and kfree_bulk() throughput.

[ paulmck: Simplify grace-period wakeup check per Steve Rostedt feedback. ]
The rcu_barrier_callback() function does an atomic_dec_and_test(), and
if it is the last CPU to check in, does the required wakeup. Either way,
it does an event trace. Unfortunately, this is susceptible to the
following sequence of events:
o CPU 0 invokes rcu_barrier_callback(), but atomic_dec_and_test()
says that it is not last. But at this point, CPU 0 is delayed,
perhaps due to an NMI, SMI, or vCPU preemption.
o CPU 1 invokes rcu_barrier_callback(), and atomic_dec_and_test()
says that it is last. So CPU 1 traces completion and does
the needed wakeup.
o The awakened rcu_barrier() function does cleanup and releases
rcu_state.barrier_mutex.
o Another CPU now acquires rcu_state.barrier_mutex and starts
another round of rcu_barrier() processing, including updating
rcu_state.barrier_sequence.
o CPU 0 gets its act back together and does its tracing. Except
that rcu_state.barrier_sequence has already been updated, so
its tracing is incorrect and probably quite confusing.
(Wait! Why did this CPU check in twice for one rcu_barrier()
invocation???)
This commit therefore causes rcu_barrier_callback() to take a
snapshot of the value of rcu_state.barrier_sequence before invoking
atomic_dec_and_test(), thus guaranteeing that the event-trace output
is sensible, even if the timing of the event-trace output might still
be confusing. (Wait! Why did the old rcu_barrier() complete before
all of its CPUs checked in???) But being that this is RCU, only so much
confusion can reasonably be eliminated.
This data race was reported by KCSAN. Not appropriate for backporting

This data race was reported by KCSAN. Not appropriate for backporting
because this affects only tracing and warnings.

The rcu_node structure's ->qsmask field is read locklessly, so this
commit adds the WRITE_ONCE() to an update in order to provide proper
documentation and READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() pairing.
This data race was reported by KCSAN. Not appropriate for backporting
due to failure being unlikely.

Long ago, RCU used the stop-machine mechanism to implement expedited
grace periods, but no longer does so. This commit therefore removes
the no-longer-needed #includes of linux/stop_machine.h.

Currently, force_qs_rnp() uses a for_each_leaf_node_possible_cpu()
loop containing a check of the current CPU's bit in ->qsmask.
This works, but this commit saves three lines by instead using
for_each_leaf_node_cpu_mask(), which combines the functionality of
for_each_leaf_node_possible_cpu() and leaf_node_cpu_bit(). This commit
also replaces the use of the local variable "bit" with rdp->grpmask.

Only tree_stall.h needs to get name from GP state, so this commit
moves the gp_state_names[] array and the gp_state_getname()
from kernel/rcu/tree.h and kernel/rcu/tree.c, respectively, to
kernel/rcu/tree_stall.h. While moving gp_state_names[], this commit
uses the GCC syntax to ensure that the right string is associated with
the right CPP macro.

In the call to trace_rcu_utilization() at the start of the loop in
rcu_cpu_kthread(), "rcu_wait" is incorrect, plus this trace event needs
to be hoisted above the loop to balance with either the "rcu_wait" or
"rcu_yield", depending on how the loop exits. This commit therefore
makes these changes.

In the current code, rcu_nmi_enter_common() might decide to turn on
the tick using tick_dep_set_cpu(), but be delayed just before doing so.
Then the grace-period kthread might notice that the CPU in question had
in fact gone through a quiescent state, thus turning off the tick using
tick_dep_clear_cpu(). The later invocation of tick_dep_set_cpu() would
then incorrectly leave the tick on.
This commit therefore enlists the aid of the leaf rcu_node structure's
->lock to ensure that decisions to enable or disable the tick are
carried out before they can be reversed.

CONFIG_PREEMPTION and CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU are always identical,
but some code depends on CONFIG_PREEMPTION to access to
rcu_preempt functionality. This patch changes CONFIG_PREEMPTION
to CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU in these cases.

Now that the kfree_rcu() special-casing has been removed from tree RCU,
this commit removes kfree_call_rcu_nobatch() since it is no longer needed.

This commit removes kfree_rcu() special-casing and the lazy-callback
handling from Tree RCU. It moves some of this special casing to Tiny RCU,
the removal of which will be the subject of later commits.
This results in a nice negative delta.

This commit applies RCU's debug_objects debugging to the new batched
kfree_rcu() implementations. The object is queued at the kfree_rcu()
call and dequeued during reclaim.
Tested that enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD successfully detects
double kfree_rcu() calls.

During testing, it was observed that amount of memory consumed due
kfree_rcu() batching is 300-400MB. Previously we had only a single
head_free pointer pointing to the list of rcu_head(s) that are to be
freed after a grace period. Until this list is drained, we cannot queue
any more objects on it since such objects may not be ready to be
reclaimed when the worker thread eventually gets to drainin g the
head_free list.
We can do better by maintaining multiple lists as done by this patch.
Testing shows that memory consumption came down by around 100-150MB with
just adding another list. Adding more than 1 additional list did not
show any improvement.
