Recording the work creation stack trace for KASAN reports in
call_rcu() is expensive, due to unwinding the stack, but also
due to acquiring depot_lock inside stackdepot (which may be contended).
Because calling kasan_record_aux_stack_noalloc() does not require
interrupts to already be disabled, this may unnecessarily extend
the time with interrupts disabled.
Therefore, move calling kasan_record_aux_stack() before the section
with interrupts disabled.

The pattern "rdp->grpmask & rcu_rnp_online_cpus(rnp)" occurs frequently
in RCU code in order to determine whether rdp->cpu is online from an
RCU perspective. This commit therefore creates an rcu_rdp_cpu_online()
function to replace it.

This commit removes the cpus_read_lock() and cpus_read_unlock() calls
from rcu_barrier(), thus allowing CPUs to come and go during the course
of rcu_barrier() execution. Posting of the ->barrier_head callbacks does
synchronize with portions of RCU's CPU-hotplug notifiers, but these locks
are held for short time periods on both sides. Thus, full CPU-hotplug
operations could both start and finish during the execution of a given
rcu_barrier() invocation.
Additional synchronization is provided by a global ->barrier_lock.
Since the ->barrier_lock is only used during rcu_barrier() execution and
during onlining/offlining a CPU, the contention for this lock should
be low. It might be tempting to make use of a per-CPU lock just on
general principles, but straightforward attempts to do this have the
problems shown below.
Initial state: 3 CPUs present, CPU 0 and CPU1 do not have
any callback and CPU2 has callbacks.
1. CPU0 calls rcu_barrier().
2. CPU1 starts offlining for CPU2. CPU1 calls
rcutree_migrate_callbacks(). rcu_barrier_entrain() is called
from rcutree_migrate_callbacks(), with CPU2's rdp->barrier_lock.
It does not entrain ->barrier_head for CPU2, as rcu_barrier()
on CPU0 hasn't started the barrier sequence (by calling
rcu_seq_start(&rcu_state.barrier_sequence)) yet.
3. CPU0 starts new barrier sequence. It iterates over
CPU0 and CPU1, after acquiring their per-cpu ->barrier_lock
and finds 0 segcblist length. It updates ->barrier_seq_snap
for CPU0 and CPU1 and continues loop iteration to CPU2.
for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) {
raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&rdp->barrier_lock, flags);
if (!rcu_segcblist_n_cbs(&rdp->cblist)) {
WRITE_ONCE(rdp->barrier_seq_snap, gseq);
raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&rdp->barrier_lock, flags);
rcu_barrier_trace(TPS("NQ"), cpu, rcu_state.barrier_sequence);
continue;
}
4. rcutree_migrate_callbacks() completes execution on CPU1.
Segcblist len for CPU2 becomes 0.
5. The loop iteration on CPU0, checks rcu_segcblist_n_cbs(&rdp->cblist)
for CPU2 and completes the loop iteration after setting
->barrier_seq_snap.
6. As there isn't any ->barrier_head callback entrained; at
this point, rcu_barrier() in CPU0 returns.
7. The callbacks, which migrated from CPU2 to CPU1, execute.
Straightforward per-CPU locking is also subject to the following race
condition noted by Boqun Feng:
1. CPU0 calls rcu_barrier(), starting a new barrier sequence by invoking
rcu_seq_start() and init_completion(), but does not yet initialize
rcu_state.barrier_cpu_count.
2. CPU1 starts offlining for CPU2, calling rcutree_migrate_callbacks(),
which in turn calls rcu_barrier_entrain() holding CPU2's.
rdp->barrier_lock. It then entrains ->barrier_head for CPU2
and atomically increments rcu_state.barrier_cpu_count, which is
unfortunately not yet initialized to the value 2.
3. The just-entrained RCU callback is invoked. It atomically
decrements rcu_state.barrier_cpu_count and sees that it is
now zero. This callback therefore invokes complete().
4. CPU0 continues executing rcu_barrier(), but is not blocked
by its call to wait_for_completion(). This results in rcu_barrier()
returning before all pre-existing callbacks have been invoked,
which is a bug.
Therefore, synchronization is provided by rcu_state.barrier_lock,
which is also held across the initialization sequence, especially the
rcu_seq_start() and the atomic_set() that sets rcu_state.barrier_cpu_count
to the value 2. In addition, this lock is held when entraining the
rcu_barrier() callback, when deciding whether or not a CPU has callbacks
that rcu_barrier() must wait on, when setting the ->qsmaskinitnext for
incoming CPUs, and when migrating callbacks from a CPU that is going
offline.

This commit reworks rcu_barrier() and callback-migration logic to
permit allowing rcu_barrier() to run concurrently with CPU-hotplug
operations. The key trick is for callback migration to check to see if
an rcu_barrier() is in flight, and, if so, enqueue the ->barrier_head
callback on its behalf.
This commit adds synchronization with RCU's CPU-hotplug notifiers. Taken
together, this will permit a later commit to remove the cpus_read_lock()
and cpus_read_unlock() calls from rcu_barrier().

If we allow architectures to bring APs online in parallel, then we end
up requiring rcu_cpu_starting() to be reentrant. But currently, the
manipulation of rnp->ofl_seq is not thread-safe.
However, rnp->ofl_seq is also fairly much pointless anyway since both
rcu_cpu_starting() and rcu_report_dead() hold rcu_state.ofl_lock for
fairly much the whole time that rnp->ofl_seq is set to an odd number
to indicate that an operation is in progress.
So drop rnp->ofl_seq completely, and use only rcu_state.ofl_lock.
This has a couple of minor complexities: lockdep will complain when we
take rcu_state.ofl_lock, and currently accepts the 'excuse' of having
an odd value in rnp->ofl_seq. So switch it to an arch_spinlock_t to
avoid that false positive complaint. Since we're killing rnp->ofl_seq
of course that 'excuse' has to be changed too, so make it check for
arch_spin_is_locked(rcu_state.ofl_lock).
There's no arch_spin_lock_irqsave() so we have to manually save and
restore local interrupts around the locking.
At Paul's request based on Neeraj's analysis, make rcu_gp_init not just
wait but *exclude* any CPU online/offline activity, which was fairly
much true already by virtue of it holding rcu_state.ofl_lock.

When the rcutree.use_softirq kernel boot parameter is set to zero, all
RCU_SOFTIRQ processing is carried out by the per-CPU rcuc kthreads.
If these kthreads are being starved, quiescent states will not be
reported, which in turn means that the grace period will not end, which
can in turn trigger RCU CPU stall warnings. This commit therefore dumps
stack traces of stalled CPUs' rcuc kthreads, which can help identify
what is preventing those kthreads from running.

When CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y, the rcutree.kthread_prio command-line
parameter signals initialization code to boost the priority of rcuc
callbacks to the designated value. With the additional
CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y configuration and an additional rcu_nocbs
command-line parameter, the callbacks on the listed cores are
offloaded to new rcuop kthreads that are not pinned to the cores whose
post-grace-period work is performed. While the rcuop kthreads perform
the same function as the rcuc kthreads they offload, the kthread_prio
parameter only boosts the priority of the rcuc kthreads. Fix this
inconsistency by elevating rcuop kthreads to the same priority as the rcuc
kthreads.

The per-CPU "rcuc" kthreads are used only by kernels booted with
rcutree.use_softirq=0, but they are nevertheless unconditionally created
by kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y. This results in "rcuc"
kthreads being created that are never actually used. This commit
therefore refrains from creating these kthreads unless the kernel
is actually booted with rcutree.use_softirq=0.

rcu_core() tries to ensure that its self-invocation in case of callbacks
overload only happen in softirq/rcuc mode. Indeed it doesn't make sense
to trigger local RCU core from nocb_cb kthread since it can execute
on a CPU different from the target rdp. Also in case of overload, the
nocb_cb kthread simply iterates a new loop of callbacks processing.
However the "offloaded" check that aims at preventing misplaced
rcu_core() invocations is wrong. First of all that state is volatile
and second: softirq/rcuc can execute while the target rdp is offloaded.
As a result rcu_core() can be invoked on the wrong CPU while in the
process of (de-)offloading.
Fix that with moving the rcu_core() self-invocation to rcu_core() itself,
irrespective of the rdp offloaded state.

Time limit only makes sense when callbacks are serviced in softirq mode
because:
_ In case we need to get back to the scheduler,
cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs() is called after each callback.
_ In case some other softirq vector needs the CPU, the call to
local_bh_enable() before cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs() takes care about
them via a call to do_softirq().
Therefore, make sure the time limit only applies to softirq mode.

The callbacks processing time limit makes sure we are not exceeding a
given amount of time executing the queue.
However its "continue" clause bypasses the cond_resched() call on
rcuc and NOCB kthreads, delaying it until we reach the limit, which can
be very long...
Make sure the scheduler has a higher priority than the time limit.

The current condition to limit the number of callbacks executed in a
row checks the offloaded state of the rdp. Not only is it volatile
but it is also misleading: the rcu_core() may well be executing
callbacks concurrently with NOCB kthreads, and the offloaded state
would then be verified on both cases. As a result the limit would
spuriously not apply anymore on softirq while in the middle of
(de-)offloading process.
Fix and clarify the condition with those constraints in mind:
_ If callbacks are processed either by rcuc or NOCB kthread, the call
to cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs() is enough to take care of the overload.
_ If instead callbacks are processed by softirqs:
* If need_resched(), exit the callbacks processing
* Otherwise if CPU is idle we can continue
* Otherwise exit because a softirq shouldn't interrupt a task for too
long nor deprive other pending softirq vectors of the CPU.

It's not entirely obvious why rdp->qlen_last_fqs_check is updated before
processing the queue only on offloaded rdp. There can be different
effect to that, either in favour of triggering the force quiescent state
path or not. For example:
1) If the number of callbacks has decreased since the last
rdp->qlen_last_fqs_check update (because we recently called
rcu_do_batch() and we executed below qhimark callbacks) and the number
of processed callbacks on a subsequent do_batch() arranges for
exceeding qhimark on non-offloaded but not on offloaded setup, then we
may spare a later run to the force quiescent state
slow path on __call_rcu_nocb_wake(), as compared to the non-offloaded
counterpart scenario.
Here is such an offloaded scenario instance:
qhimark = 1000
rdp->last_qlen_last_fqs_check = 3000
rcu_segcblist_n_cbs(rdp) = 2000
rcu_do_batch() {
if (offloaded)
rdp->last_qlen_fqs_check = rcu_segcblist_n_cbs(rdp) // 2000
// run 1000 callback
rcu_segcblist_n_cbs(rdp) = 1000
// Not updating rdp->qlen_last_fqs_check
if (count < rdp->qlen_last_fqs_check - qhimark)
rdp->qlen_last_fqs_check = count;
}
call_rcu() * 1001 {
__call_rcu_nocb_wake() {
// not taking the fqs slowpath:
// rcu_segcblist_n_cbs(rdp) == 2001
// rdp->qlen_last_fqs_check == 2000
// qhimark == 1000
if (len > rdp->qlen_last_fqs_check + qhimark)
...
}
In the case of a non-offloaded scenario, rdp->qlen_last_fqs_check
would be 1000 and the fqs slowpath would have executed.
2) If the number of callbacks has increased since the last
rdp->qlen_last_fqs_check update (because we recently queued below
qhimark callbacks) and the number of callbacks executed in rcu_do_batch()
doesn't exceed qhimark for either offloaded or non-offloaded setup,
then it's possible that the offloaded scenario later run the force
quiescent state slow path on __call_rcu_nocb_wake() while the
non-offloaded doesn't.
qhimark = 1000
rdp->last_qlen_last_fqs_check = 3000
rcu_segcblist_n_cbs(rdp) = 2000
rcu_do_batch() {
if (offloaded)
rdp->last_qlen_last_fqs_check = rcu_segcblist_n_cbs(rdp) // 2000
// run 100 callbacks
// concurrent queued 100
rcu_segcblist_n_cbs(rdp) = 2000
// Not updating rdp->qlen_last_fqs_check
if (count < rdp->qlen_last_fqs_check - qhimark)
rdp->qlen_last_fqs_check = count;
}
call_rcu() * 1001 {
__call_rcu_nocb_wake() {
// Taking the fqs slowpath:
// rcu_segcblist_n_cbs(rdp) == 3001
// rdp->qlen_last_fqs_check == 2000
// qhimark == 1000
if (len > rdp->qlen_last_fqs_check + qhimark)
...
}
In the case of a non-offloaded scenario, rdp->qlen_last_fqs_check
would be 3000 and the fqs slowpath would have executed.
The reason for updating rdp->qlen_last_fqs_check when invoking callbacks
for offloaded CPUs is that there is usually no point in waking up either
the rcuog or rcuoc kthreads while in this state. After all, both threads
are prohibited from indefinite sleeps.
The exception is when some huge number of callbacks are enqueued while
rcu_do_batch() is in the midst of invoking, in which case interrupting
the rcuog kthread's timed sleep might get more callbacks set up for the
next grace period.

When callbacks are offloaded, the NOCB kthreads handle the callbacks
progression on behalf of rcu_core().
However during the (de-)offloading process, the kthread may not be
entirely up to the task. As a result some callbacks grace period

take care of them either.
Fix this with forcing callbacks acceleration from rcu_core() as long
as the offloading process isn't complete.

While reporting a quiescent state for a given CPU, rcu_core() takes
advantage of the freshly loaded grace period sequence number and the
locked rnp to accelerate the callbacks whose sequence number have been
assigned a stale value.
This action is only necessary when the rdp isn't offloaded, otherwise
the NOCB kthreads already take care of the callbacks progression.
However the check for the offloaded state is volatile because it is
performed outside the IRQs disabled section. It's possible for the
offloading process to preempt rcu_core() at that point on PREEMPT_RT.
This is dangerous because rcu_core() may end up accelerating callbacks
concurrently with NOCB kthreads without appropriate locking.
Fix this with moving the offloaded check inside the rnp locking section.

On PREEMPT_RT, if rcu_core() is preempted by the de-offloading process,
some work, such as callbacks acceleration and invocation, may be left
unattended due to the volatile checks on the offloaded state.
In the worst case this work is postponed until the next rcu_pending()
check that can take a jiffy to reach, which can be a problem in case
of callbacks flooding.
Solve that with invoking rcu_core() early in the de-offloading process.
This way any work dismissed by an ongoing rcu_core() call fooled by
a preempting deoffloading process will be caught up by a nearby future
recall to rcu_core(), this time fully aware of the de-offloading state.

Currently SEGCBLIST_SOFTIRQ_ONLY is a bit of an exception among the
segcblist flags because it is an exclusive state that doesn't mix up
with the other flags. Remove it in favour of:
_ A flag specifying that rcu_core() needs to perform callbacks execution
and acceleration
and
_ A flag specifying we want the nocb lock to be held in any needed
circumstances
This clarifies the code and is more flexible: It allows to have a state
where rcu_core() runs with locking while offloading hasn't started yet.
This is a necessary step to prepare for triggering rcu_core() at the
very beginning of the de-offloading process so that rcu_core() won't
dismiss work while being preempted by the de-offloading process, at
least not without a pending subsequent rcu_core() that will quickly
catch up.

Currently, rcu_advance_cbs_nowake() checks that a grace period is in
progress, however, that grace period could end just after the check.
This commit rechecks that a grace period is still in progress while
holding the rcu_node structure's lock. The grace period cannot end while
the current CPU's rcu_node structure's ->lock is held, thus avoiding
false positives from the WARN_ON_ONCE().
As Daniel Vacek noted, it is not necessary for the rcu_node structure
to have a CPU that has not yet passed through its quiescent state.

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.

The default kasan_record_aux_stack() calls stack_depot_save() with GFP_NOWAIT,
which in turn can then call alloc_pages(GFP_NOWAIT, ...). In general, however,
it is not even possible to use either GFP_ATOMIC nor GFP_NOWAIT in certain
non-preemptive contexts/RT kernel including raw_spin_locks (see gfp.h and ab00db216c).
Fix it by instructing stackdepot to not expand stack storage via alloc_pages()
in case it runs out by using kasan_record_aux_stack_noalloc().

Currently, rcu_report_dead() disables preemption across its call to
rcu_report_exp_rdp(), but this is pointless because interrupts are
already disabled by the caller. In addition, rcu_report_dead() computes
the address of the outgoing CPU's rcu_data structure, which is also
pointless because this address is already present in local variable rdp.
This commit therefore drops the preemption disabling and passes rdp
to rcu_report_exp_rdp().

The purpose of rcu_dynticks_eqs_online() is to adjust the ->dynticks
counter of an incoming CPU when required. It is currently invoked
from rcutree_prepare_cpu(), which runs before the incoming CPU is
running, and thus on some other CPU. This makes the per-CPU accesses in
rcu_dynticks_eqs_online() iffy at best, and it all "works" only because
the running CPU cannot possibly be in dyntick-idle mode, which means
that rcu_dynticks_eqs_online() never has any effect.
It is currently OK for rcu_dynticks_eqs_online() to have no effect, but
only because the CPU-offline process just happens to leave ->dynticks in
the correct state. After all, if ->dynticks were in the wrong state on a
just-onlined CPU, rcutorture would complain bitterly the next time that
CPU went idle, at least in kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_EQS_DEBUG=y,
for example, those built by rcutorture scenario TREE04. One could
argue that this means that rcu_dynticks_eqs_online() is unnecessary,
however, removing it would make the CPU-online process vulnerable to
slight changes in the CPU-offline process.
One could also ask why it is safe to move the rcu_dynticks_eqs_online()
call so late in the CPU-online process. Indeed, there was a time when it
would not have been safe, which does much to explain its current location.
However, the marking of a CPU as online from an RCU perspective has long
since moved from rcutree_prepare_cpu() to rcu_cpu_starting(), and all
that is required is that ->dynticks be set correctly by the time that
the CPU is marked as online from an RCU perspective. After all, the RCU
grace-period kthread does not check to see if offline CPUs are also idle.
(In case you were curious, this is one reason why there is quiescent-state
reporting as part of the offlining process.)
This commit therefore moves the call to rcu_dynticks_eqs_online() from
rcutree_prepare_cpu() to rcu_cpu_starting(), this latter being guaranteed
to be running on the incoming CPU. The call to this function must of
course be placed before this rcu_cpu_starting() announces this CPU's
presence to RCU.

Accesses to the rcu_data structure's ->dynticks field have always been
fully ordered because it was not possible to prove that weaker ordering
was safe. However, with the removal of the rcu_eqs_special_set() function
and the advent of the Linux-kernel memory model, it is now easy to show
that two of the four original full memory barriers can be weakened to
acquire and release operations. The remaining pair must remain full
memory barriers. This change makes the memory ordering requirements
more evident, and it might well also speed up the to-idle and from-idle
fastpaths on some architectures.
The following litmus test, adapted from one supplied off-list by Frederic
Weisbecker, models the RCU grace-period kthread detecting an idle CPU
that is concurrently transitioning to non-idle:
C dynticks-from-idle
{
DYNTICKS=0; (* Initially idle. *)
}
P0(int *X, int *DYNTICKS)
{
int dynticks;
int x;
// Idle.
dynticks = READ_ONCE(*DYNTICKS);
smp_store_release(DYNTICKS, dynticks + 1);
smp_mb();
// Now non-idle
x = READ_ONCE(*X);
}
P1(int *X, int *DYNTICKS)
{
int dynticks;
WRITE_ONCE(*X, 1);
smp_mb();
dynticks = smp_load_acquire(DYNTICKS);
}
exists (1:dynticks=0 /\ 0:x=1)
Running "herd7 -conf linux-kernel.cfg dynticks-from-idle.litmus" verifies
this transition, namely, showing that if the RCU grace-period kthread (P1)
sees another CPU as idle (P0), then any memory access prior to the start
of the grace period (P1's write to X) will be seen by any RCU read-side
critical section following the to-non-idle transition (P0's read from X).
This is a straightforward use of full memory barriers to force ordering
in a store-buffering (SB) litmus test.
The following litmus test, also adapted from the one supplied off-list
by Frederic Weisbecker, models the RCU grace-period kthread detecting
a non-idle CPU that is concurrently transitioning to idle:
C dynticks-into-idle
{
DYNTICKS=1; (* Initially non-idle. *)
}
P0(int *X, int *DYNTICKS)
{
int dynticks;
// Non-idle.
WRITE_ONCE(*X, 1);
dynticks = READ_ONCE(*DYNTICKS);
smp_store_release(DYNTICKS, dynticks + 1);
smp_mb();
// Now idle.
}
P1(int *X, int *DYNTICKS)
{
int x;
int dynticks;
smp_mb();
dynticks = smp_load_acquire(DYNTICKS);
x = READ_ONCE(*X);
}
exists (1:dynticks=2 /\ 1:x=0)
Running "herd7 -conf linux-kernel.cfg dynticks-into-idle.litmus" verifies
this transition, namely, showing that if the RCU grace-period kthread
(P1) sees another CPU as newly idle (P0), then any pre-idle memory access
(P0's write to X) will be seen by any code following the grace period
(P1's read from X). This is a simple release-acquire pair forcing
ordering in a message-passing (MP) litmus test.
Of course, if the grace-period kthread detects the CPU as non-idle,
it will refrain from reporting a quiescent state on behalf of that CPU,
so there are no ordering requirements from the grace-period kthread in
that case. However, other subsystems call rcu_is_idle_cpu() to check
for CPUs being non-idle from an RCU perspective. That case is also
verified by the above litmus tests with the proviso that the sense of
the low-order bit of the DYNTICKS counter be inverted.
Unfortunately, on x86 smp_mb() is as expensive as a cache-local atomic
increment. This commit therefore weakens only the read from ->dynticks.
However, the updates are abstracted into a rcu_dynticks_inc() function
to ease any future changes that might be needed.

At CPU offline time, we must handle any pending wakeup for the nocb_gp

Now we are making sure of that twice:
1) From rcu_report_dead() when the outgoing CPU makes the very last
local cleanups by itself before switching offline.
2) From rcutree_dead_cpu(). Here the offlining CPU has gone and is truly
now offline. Another CPU takes care of post-portem cleaning up and
check if the offline CPU had pending wakeup.
Both ways are fine but we have to choose one or the other because we
