This commit adds an srcu_tree.convert_to_big kernel parameter that either
refuses to convert at all (0), converts immediately at init_srcu_struct()
time (1), or lets rcutorture convert it (2). An addition contention-based
dynamic conversion choice will be added, along with documentation.

For configurations where snp node tree is not initialized at
init time (added in subsequent commits), srcu_funnel_gp_start()
and srcu_funnel_exp_start() can potential traverse and observe
the snp nodes' transient (uninitialized) states. This can potentially
happen, when init_srcu_struct_nodes() initialization of sdp->mynode
races with srcu_funnel_gp_start() and srcu_funnel_exp_start()
Consider the case below where srcu_funnel_gp_start() observes
sdp->mynode to be not NULL and uses an uninitialized sdp->grpmask
P1 P2
init_srcu_struct_nodes() void srcu_funnel_gp_start(...)
{
for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) {
...
sdp->mynode = &snp_first[...];
for (snp = sdp->mynode;...) struct srcu_node *snp_leaf =
smp_load_acquire(&sdp->mynode)
... if (snp_leaf) {
for (snp = snp_leaf; ...)
...
if (snp == snp_leaf)
snp->srcu_data_have_cbs[idx] |=
sdp->grpmask;
sdp->grpmask =
1 << (cpu - sdp->mynode->grplo);
}
}
Similarly, init_srcu_struct_nodes() and srcu_funnel_exp_start() can
race, where srcu_funnel_exp_start() could observe state of snp lock
before spin_lock_init().
P1 P2
init_srcu_struct_nodes() void srcu_funnel_exp_start(...)
{
srcu_for_each_node_breadth_first(ssp, snp) { for (; ...) {
spin_lock_...(snp, )
spin_lock_init(&ACCESS_PRIVATE(snp, lock));
...
}
for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) {
...
sdp->mynode = &snp_first[...];
To avoid these issues, ensure that snp node tree initialization is
complete i.e. after SRCU_SIZE_WAIT_BARRIER srcu_size_state is reached,
before traversing the tree. Given that srcu_funnel_gp_start() and
srcu_funnel_exp_start() are called within SRCU read side critical
sections, this check is safe, in the sense that all callbacks are
enqueued on CPU0 srcu_cblist until SRCU_SIZE_WAIT_CALL is entered,
and these read side critical sections (containing srcu_funnel_gp_start()
and srcu_funnel_exp_start()) need to complete, before SRCU_SIZE_WAIT_CALL
is reached.

Currently, tree SRCU relies on the srcu_node structures being initialized
at the same time that the srcu_struct itself is initialized, and thus
use the initial grace-period sequence number as the initial value for
the srcu_node structure's ->srcu_have_cbs[] and ->srcu_gp_seq_needed_exp
fields. Although this has a high probability of also working when the
srcu_node array is allocated and initialized at some random later time,
it would be better to avoid leaving such things to chance.
This commit therefore initializes these fields with 0x2, which is a
recognizable invalid value. It then adds the required checks for this
invalid value in order to avoid confusion on long-running kernels
(especially those on 32-bit systems) that allocate and initialize
srcu_node arrays late in life.

the assignment earlier to simplify the code a bit. While in the area,
this commit also takes advantage of the 100-character line limit to put
the call to srcu_schedule_cbs_sdp() on a single line.

This is just dead code at the moment, and will be used once
the state-transition code is activated.
Because srcu_barrier() must be aware of transition before call_srcu(), the
state machine waits for an SRCU grace period before callbacks are queued
to the non-CPU-0 queues. This requres that portions of srcu_barrier()
be enclosed in an SRCU read-side critical section.

on systems with smaller numbers of CPUs, this can save significant memory.

This commit makes Tree SRCU able to operate without an snp_node
array, that is, when the srcu_data structures' ->mynode pointers
are NULL. This can result in high contention on the srcu_struct
structure's ->lock, but only when there are lots of call_srcu(),
synchronize_srcu(), and synchronize_srcu_expedited() calls.
Note that when there is no snp_node array, all SRCU callbacks use
CPU 0's callback queue. This is optimal in the common case of low
update-side load because it removes the need to search each CPU
for the single callback that made the grace period happen.

Currently, the srcu_funnel_gp_start() walks its local variable snp up the
tree and reloads sdp->mynode whenever it is necessary to check whether
it is still at the leaf srcu_node level. This works, but is a bit more
obtuse than absolutely necessary. In addition, upcoming commits will
dynamically size srcu_struct structures, in which case sdp->mynode will
no longer necessarily be a constant, and this commit helps prepare for

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.

Currently, call_rcu_tasks_generic() sets ->percpu_enqueue_shift to

This does not shift to use of non-CPU-0 callback queues as intended, but
rather continues using only CPU 0's queue. Although this does provide
some decrease in contention due to spreading work over multiple locks,
it is not the dramatic decrease that was intended.
This commit therefore makes call_rcu_tasks_generic() set

The ilog2() function can be used to generate a shift count, but it will
generate the same count for a power of two as for one greater than a power
of two. This results in shift counts that are larger than necessary for
systems with a power-of-two number of CPUs because the CPUs are numbered
from zero, so that the maximum CPU number is one less than that power
of two.
This commit therefore substitutes order_base_2(), which appears to have
been designed for exactly this use case.

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.

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

The ->percpu_enqueue_shift field is used to map from the running CPU
number to the index of the corresponding callback list. This mapping
can change at runtime in response to varying callback load, resulting
in varying levels of contention on the callback-list locks.
Unfortunately, the initial value of this field is correct only if the
system happens to have a power-of-two number of CPUs, otherwise the
callbacks from the high-numbered CPUs can be placed into the callback list
indexed by 1 (rather than 0), and those index-1 callbacks will be ignored.
This can result in soft lockups and hangs.
This commit therefore corrects this mapping, adding one to this shift

By default, when lock contention is encountered, the RCU Tasks flavors
of RCU switch to using per-CPU queueing. However, if the callback
flood ends, per-CPU queueing continues to be used, which introduces
significant additional overhead, especially for callback invocation,
which fans out a series of workqueue handlers.
This commit therefore switches back to single-queue operation if at the
beginning of a grace period there are very few callbacks. The definition
of "very few" is set by the rcupdate.rcu_task_collapse_lim module
parameter, which defaults to 10. This switch happens in two phases,
with the first phase causing future callbacks to be enqueued on CPU 0's
queue, but with all queues continuing to be checked for grace periods
and callback invocation. The second phase checks to see if an RCU grace
period has elapsed and if all remaining RCU-Tasks callbacks are queued
on CPU 0. If so, only CPU 0 is checked for future grace periods and
callback operation.
Of course, the return of contention anywhere during this process will
result in returning to per-CPU callback queueing.

The rcupdate.rcu_task_enqueue_lim module parameter allows system
administrators to tune the number of callback queues used by the RCU
Tasks flavors. However if callback storms are infrequent, it would
be better to operate with a single queue on a given system unless and
until that system actually needed more queues. Systems not needing
more queues can then avoid the overhead of checking the extra queues
and especially avoid the overhead of fanning workqueue handlers out to
all CPUs to invoke callbacks.
This commit therefore switches to using all the CPUs' callback queues if
call_rcu_tasks_generic() encounters too much lock contention. The amount
of lock contention to tolerate defaults to 100 contended lock acquisitions
per jiffy, and can be adjusted using the new rcupdate.rcu_task_contend_lim
module parameter.
Such switching is undertaken only if the rcupdate.rcu_task_enqueue_lim
module parameter is negative, which is its default value (-1).
This allows savvy systems administrators to set the number of queues
to some known good value and to not have to worry about the kernel doing
any second guessing.

floods using a new ->cbflood_max field in the rcu_operations structure.
When this field is zero, there is no limit, otherwise, each callback-flood
kthread allocates at most ->cbflood_max callbacks.

This commit converts the rcutorture.fwd_progress module parameter from
bool to int, so that it specifies the number of callback-flood kthreads.
Values less than zero specify one kthread per CPU, however, the number of
kthreads executing concurrently is limited to the number of online CPUs.
This commit also reverse the order of the need-resched and callback-flood
operations to cause the callback flooding to happen more nearly at the
same time.

Currently, RCU Tasks Trace (as well as the other two flavors of RCU Tasks)
use a single global callback list. This works well and is simple, but
expected changes in workload will cause this list to become a bottleneck.
This commit therefore creates per-CPU callback lists for the various
flavors of RCU Tasks, but continues queueing on a single list, namely
that of CPU 0. Later commits will dynamically vary the number of lists
in use to accommodate dynamic changes in workload.

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 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
sequence number may remain stale for a while because rcu_core() won't
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.

rcu_nocb_lock_irqsave() can be preempted between the call to
rcu_segcblist_is_offloaded() and the actual locking. This matters now
that rcu_core() is preemptible on PREEMPT_RT and the (de-)offloading
process can interrupt the softirq or the rcuc kthread.
As a result we may locklessly call into code that requires nocb locking.
In practice this is a problem while we accelerate callbacks on rcu_core().
Simply disabling interrupts before (instead of after) checking the NOCB
offload state fixes the issue.

Expedited RCU grace periods invoke sync_rcu_exp_select_node_cpus(), which
takes two passes over the leaf rcu_node structure's CPUs. The first
pass gathers up the current CPU and CPUs that are in dynticks idle mode.
The workqueue will report a quiescent state on their behalf later.
The second pass sends IPIs to the rest of the CPUs, but excludes the
current CPU, incorrectly assuming it has been included in the first
pass's list of CPUs.
Unfortunately the current CPU may have changed between the first and
second pass, due to the fact that the various rcu_node structures'
->lock fields have been dropped, thus momentarily enabling preemption.
This means that if the second pass's CPU was not on the first pass's
list, it will be ignored completely. There will be no IPI sent to
it, and there will be no reporting of quiescent states on its behalf.
Unfortunately, the expedited grace period will nevertheless be waiting
for that CPU to report a quiescent state, but with that CPU having no
reason to believe that such a report is needed.
The result will be an expedited grace period stall.
Fix this by no longer excluding the current CPU from consideration during
the second pass.

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.

If an RCU expedited grace period starts just when a CPU is in the process
of going offline, so that the outgoing CPU has completed its pass through
stop-machine but has not yet completed its final dive into the idle loop,
RCU will attempt to enable that CPU's scheduling-clock tick via a call
to tick_dep_set_cpu(). For this to happen, that CPU has to have been
online when the expedited grace period completed its CPU-selection phase.
This is pointless: The outgoing CPU has interrupts disabled, so it cannot
take a scheduling-clock tick anyway. In addition, the tick_dep_set_cpu()
function's eventual call to irq_work_queue_on() will splat as follows:

The sync_sched_exp_online_cleanup() is called from rcutree_online_cpu(),
which can be invoked with interrupts enabled. This means that
the ->cpu_no_qs.b.exp field is subject to data races from the
rcu_exp_handler() IPI handler, so this commit marks the load from
that field.

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.

On non-preemptible RCU, move clearing of the rcu_data structure's
->cpu_no_qs.b.exp filed to the actual expedited quiescent state report
function, matching hw preemptible RCU handles the ->exp_deferred_qs field.
This prepares for removing ->exp_deferred_qs in favor of ->cpu_no_qs.b.exp
for both preemptible and non-preemptible RCU.

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.

0Day/LKP observed that the refscale results fail to complete when larger
values of nrun (such as 300) are specified. The problem is that printk()
can accept at most a 1024-byte buffer. This commit therefore prints
the buffer whenever its length exceeds 800 bytes.

Because Tiny srcu_read_unlock() directly calls swake_up_one(), lockdep
complains when a pi lock is held across that srcu_read_unlock().
Although this is a lockdep false positive (there is no other CPU to
complete the deadlock cycle), lockdep is what it is at the moment.
This commit therefore prevents rcutorture from holding pi lock across
a Tiny srcu_read_unlock().

Currently, nested readers occur only when a timer handler interrupts a
reader. This is rare, and is thus insufficient testing of the transition
between nesting levels. This commit therefore causes rcutorture nested
readers to be the rule rather than the exception.

RCUTORTURE_RDR_MASK is currently not the bit indicated by
RCUTORTURE_RDR_SHIFT, but is instead all the bits less significant than
that one. This is an accident waiting to happen, so this commit makes
RCUTORTURE_RDR_MASK be that one bit and adjusts uses accordingly.

Currently, the check_all_holdout_tasks_trace() function removes all tasks
marked with ->trc_reader_checked from the holdout list, including those
with IPIs pending. This means that the IPI handler might arrive at
a task that has already been removed from the list, which is at best
an accident waiting to happen.
This commit therefore avoids removing tasks with IPIs pending from
the holdout list. This in turn means that the "if" condition in the
for_each_online_cpu() loop in rcu_tasks_trace_postgp() should always
evaluate to false, so a WARN_ON_ONCE() is added to check that.

Tiny SRCU readers can appear at task level, but also in interrupt and
softirq handlers. Because Tiny SRCU is selected only in kernels built
with CONFIG_SMP=n and CONFIG_PREEMPTION=n, it is not possible for a grace
period to start while there is a non-task-level SRCU reader executing.
This means that it does not make sense for __srcu_read_unlock() to awaken
the Tiny SRCU grace period, because that can only happen when the grace
period is waiting for one value of ->srcu_idx and __srcu_read_unlock()
is ending the last reader for some other value of ->srcu_idx. After all,
any such wakeup will be redundant.
Worse yet, in some cases, such wakeups generate lockdep splats:

This is a false positive because there is only one CPU, and both locks
are raw (non-preemptible) spinlocks. However, it is worthwhile getting
rid of the redundant wakeup, which has the side effect of breaking
the theoretical deadlock cycle. This commit therefore eliminates the
redundant wakeups.

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().

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
Kconfig option does is slow down idle entry/exit with an additional
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.
This commit therefore removes the RCU_FAST_NO_HZ Kconfig option.

Pull scheduler updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Revert the printk format based wchan() symbol resolution as it can
leak the raw value in case that the symbol is not resolvable.
- Make wchan() more robust and work with all kind of unwinders by
enforcing that the task stays blocked while unwinding is in progress.
- Prevent sched_fork() from accessing an invalid sched_task_group
- Improve asymmetric packing logic
- Extend scheduler statistics to RT and DL scheduling classes and add
statistics for bandwith burst to the SCHED_FAIR class.
- Properly account SCHED_IDLE entities
- Prevent a potential deadlock when initial priority is assigned to a
newly created kthread. A recent change to plug a race between cpuset
and __sched_setscheduler() introduced a new lock dependency which is
now triggered. Break the lock dependency chain by moving the priority
assignment to the thread function.
- Fix the idle time reporting in /proc/uptime for NOHZ enabled systems.
- Improve idle balancing in general and especially for NOHZ enabled
systems.
- Provide proper interfaces for live patching so it does not have to
fiddle with scheduler internals.
- Add cluster aware scheduling support.
- A small set of tweaks for RT (irqwork, wait_task_inactive(), various
scheduler options and delaying mmdrop)
- The usual small tweaks and improvements all over the place

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 trc_wait_for_one_reader() function is called at multiple stages
of trace rcu-tasks GP function, rcu_tasks_wait_gp():
- First, it is called as part of per task function -
rcu_tasks_trace_pertask(), for all non-idle tasks. As part of per task
processing, this function add the task in the holdout list and if the
task is currently running on a CPU, it sends IPI to the task's CPU.
The IPI handler takes action depending on whether task is in trace
rcu-tasks read side critical section or not:
- a. If the task is in trace rcu-tasks read side critical section
(t->trc_reader_nesting != 0), the IPI handler sets the task's
->trc_reader_special.b.need_qs, so that this task notifies exit
from its outermost read side critical section (by decrementing
trc_n_readers_need_end) to the GP handling function.
trc_wait_for_one_reader() also increments trc_n_readers_need_end,
so that the trace rcu-tasks GP handler function waits for this
task's read side exit notification. The IPI handler also sets
t->trc_reader_checked to true, and no further IPIs are sent for
this task, for this trace rcu-tasks grace period and this
task can be removed from holdout list.
- b. If the task is in the process of exiting its trace rcu-tasks
read side critical section, (t->trc_reader_nesting < 0), defer
this task's processing to future calls to trc_wait_for_one_reader().
- c. If task is not in rcu-task read side critical section,
t->trc_reader_nesting == 0, ->trc_reader_checked is set for this
task, so that this task is removed from holdout list.
- Second, trc_wait_for_one_reader() is called as part of post scan, in
function rcu_tasks_trace_postscan(), for all idle tasks.
- Third, in function check_all_holdout_tasks_trace(), this function is
called for each task in the holdout list, but only if there isn't
a pending IPI for the task (->trc_ipi_to_cpu == -1). This function
removed the task from holdout list, if IPI handler has completed the
required work, to ensure that the current trace rcu-tasks grace period
either waits for this task, or this task is not in a trace rcu-tasks
read side critical section.
Now, considering the scenario where smp_call_function_single() fails in
first case, inside rcu_tasks_trace_pertask(). In this case,
->trc_ipi_to_cpu is set to the current CPU for that task. This will
result in trc_wait_for_one_reader() getting skipped in third case,
inside check_all_holdout_tasks_trace(), for this task. This further
results in ->trc_reader_checked never getting set for this task,
and the task not getting removed from holdout list. This can cause
the current trace rcu-tasks grace period to stall.
Fix the above problem, by resetting ->trc_ipi_to_cpu to -1, on
smp_call_function_single() failure, so that future IPI calls can
be send for this task.
Note that all three of the trc_wait_for_one_reader() function's
callers (rcu_tasks_trace_pertask(), rcu_tasks_trace_postscan(),
check_all_holdout_tasks_trace()) hold cpu_read_lock(). This means
that smp_call_function_single() cannot race with CPU hotplug, and thus
should never fail. Therefore, also add a warning in order to report
any such failure in case smp_call_function_single() grows some other
reason for failure.

The second argument of rcu_read_unlock_trace_special() is always zero.
When called from exit_tasks_rcu_finish_trace(), it is the constant
zero, and rcu_read_unlock_trace_special() doesn't get called from
rcu_read_unlock_trace() unless the value of local variable "nesting"
is zero because in that case the early return is taken instead.
This commit therefore removes the "nesting" argument from the
rcu_read_unlock_trace_special() function, substituting the constant
zero within that function. This commit also adds a WARN_ON_ONCE()
to rcu_read_lock_trace_held() in case non-zeroness some day appears.

Currently, trc_inspect_reader() treats a task exiting its RCU Tasks
Trace read-side critical section the same as being within that critical
section. However, this can fail because that task might have already
checked its .need_qs field, which means that it might never decrement
the all-important trc_n_readers_need_end counter. Of course, for that
to happen, the task would need to never again execute an RCU Tasks Trace
read-side critical section, but this really could happen if the system's
last trampoline was removed. Note that exit from such a critical section
cannot be treated as a quiescent state due to the possibility of nested
critical sections. This means that if trc_inspect_reader() sees a
negative nesting value, it must set up to try again later.
This commit therefore ignores tasks that are exiting their RCU Tasks
Trace read-side critical sections so that they will be rechecked later.

Currently, trc_wait_for_one_reader() atomically increments
the trc_n_readers_need_end counter before sending the IPI
invoking trc_read_check_handler(). All failure paths out of
trc_read_check_handler() and also from the smp_call_function_single()
within trc_wait_for_one_reader() must carefully atomically decrement
this counter. This is more complex than it needs to be.
This commit therefore simplifies things and saves a few lines of
code by dispensing with the atomic decrements in favor of having
trc_read_check_handler() do the atomic increment only in the success case.
In theory, this represents no change in functionality.

rcutorture is generating some nesting scenarios that are not compatible on PREEMPT_RT.
For example:
preempt_disable();
rcu_read_lock_bh();
preempt_enable();
rcu_read_unlock_bh();
The problem here is that on PREEMPT_RT the bottom halves have to be
disabled and enabled in preemptible context.
Reorder locking: start with BH locking and continue with then with
disabling preemption or interrupts. In the unlocking do it reverse by
first enabling interrupts and preemption and BH at the very end.
Ensure that on PREEMPT_RT BH locking remains unchanged if in
non-preemptible context.

Currently, RCU Tasks Trace initializes the trc_n_readers_need_end counter
to the value one, increments it before each trc_read_check_handler()
IPI, then decrements it within trc_read_check_handler() if the target
task was in a quiescent state (or if the target task moved to some other
CPU while the IPI was in flight), complaining if the new value was zero.
The rationale for complaining is that the initial value of one must be
decremented away before zero can be reached, and this decrement has not
yet happened.
Except that trc_read_check_handler() is initiated with an asynchronous
smp_call_function_single(), which might be significantly delayed. This
can result in false-positive complaints about the counter reaching zero.
This commit therefore waits for in-flight IPI handlers to complete before
decrementing away the initial value of one from the trc_n_readers_need_end
counter.

The sync_sched_exp_online_cleanup() checks to see if RCU needs
an expedited quiescent state from the incoming CPU, sending it
an IPI if so. Before sending IPI, it checks whether expedited
qs need has been already requested for the incoming CPU, by
checking rcu_data.cpu_no_qs.b.exp for the current cpu, on which
sync_sched_exp_online_cleanup() is running. This works for the
case where incoming CPU is same as self. However, for the case
where incoming CPU is different from self, expedited request
won't get marked, which can potentially delay reporting of
expedited quiescent state for the incoming CPU.

Certain configurations (e.g., systems that make heavy use of netns)
need to use synchronize_rcu_expedited() to service RCU grace periods
even after boot.
Even though synchronize_rcu_expedited() has been traditionally
considered harmful for RT for the heavy use of IPIs, it is perfectly
usable under certain conditions (e.g. nohz_full).
Make rcupdate.rcu_normal_after_boot= again writeable on RT (if NO_HZ_
FULL is defined), but keep its default value to 1 (enabled) to avoid
regressions. Users who need synchronize_rcu_expedited() will boot with
rcupdate.rcu_normal_after_ boot=0 in the kernel cmdline.

Currently, rcu_report_dead() disables preemption across its call to
rcu_report_exp_rdp(), but this is pointless because interrupts are

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.

It should now be CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU. Except that the CONFIG_PREEMPT=y in
that same file implies CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y. Therefore, delete the
CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU=y line.
The reason is as follows:
In kernel/rcu/Kconfig, we have
config PREEMPT_RCU
bool
default y if PREEMPTION
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt says,
"The default value is only assigned to the config symbol if no other value
was set by the user (via the input prompt above)."
there is no prompt in config PREEMPT_RCU entry, so we are guaranteed to
get CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y when CONFIG_PREEMPT is present.
2. RCU_CPU_STALL_INFO

The old Kconfig option RCU_CPU_STALL_INFO was removed by commit
75c27f119b ("rcu: Remove CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_INFO"), and the kernel
now acts as if this Kconfig option was unconditionally enabled.

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.

The WARN_ON_ONCE() invocation within the CONFIG_PREEMPT=y version of

switch in an RCU read-side critical section, but there is quite a gap

Systems with low-bandwidth consoles can have very large printk()

This commit therefore sets the time of the next stall only after the

message is set to ULONG_MAX/2 jiffies into the future.

rcu_cpu_stall_reset() is one of the functions virtual CPUs
execute during VM resume in order to handle jiffies skew
that can trigger false positive stall warnings. Paul has
pointed out that this approach is problematic because
rcu_cpu_stall_reset() disables RCU grace period stall-detection
virtually forever, while in fact it can just restart the
stall-detection timeout.

The soft watchdog timer function checks if a virtual machine
was suspended and hence what looks like a lockup in fact
is a false positive.
This is what kvm_check_and_clear_guest_paused() does: it
tests guest PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED (which is set by the host)
and if it's set then we need to touch all watchdogs and bail
out.
Watchdog timer function runs from IRQ, so PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED
check works fine.
There is, however, one more watchdog that runs from IRQ, so
watchdog timer fn races with it, and that watchdog is not aware
of PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED - RCU stall detector.
apic_timer_interrupt()
smp_apic_timer_interrupt()
hrtimer_interrupt()
__hrtimer_run_queues()
tick_sched_timer()
tick_sched_handle()
update_process_times()
rcu_sched_clock_irq()
This triggers RCU stalls on our devices during VM resume.
If tick_sched_handle()->rcu_sched_clock_irq() runs on a VCPU
before watchdog_timer_fn()->kvm_check_and_clear_guest_paused()
then there is nothing on this VCPU that touches watchdogs and
RCU reads stale gp stall timestamp and new jiffies value, which
makes it think that RCU has stalled.
Make RCU stall watchdog aware of PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED and
don't report RCU stalls when we resume the VM.

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
This focused microbenhmark shows only sub-nanosecond differences which
are unlikely to be visible at the system level. This commit therefore
marks data-racing accesses to ->rcu_read_lock_nesting.

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.

If rcu_print_task_stall() is invoked on an rcu_node structure that does
not contain any tasks blocking the current grace period, it takes an
early exit that fails to release that rcu_node structure's lock. This
results in a self-deadlock, which is detected by lockdep.
To reproduce this bug:
tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/kvm.sh --allcpus --duration 3 --trust-make --configs "TREE03" --kconfig "CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y" --bootargs "rcutorture.stall_cpu=30 rcutorture.stall_cpu_block=1 rcutorture.fwd_progress=0 rcutorture.test_boost=0"
This will also result in other complaints, including RCU's scheduler
hook complaining about blocking rather than preemption and an rcutorture
writer stall.
Only a partial RCU CPU stall warning message will be printed because of
the self-deadlock.
This commit therefore releases the lock on the rcu_print_task_stall()
function's early exit path.

zero when all CPUs have passed through their quiescent states and only
one task is blocking the stalled grace period. This zero value for

The rcuscale console output claims N grace periods, numbered from zero
to N, which means that there were really N+1 grace periods. The root
cause of this bug is that rcu_scale_writer() stores the number of the
last grace period (numbered from zero) into writer_n_durations[me]
instead of the number of grace periods. This commit therefore assigns
the actual number of grace periods to writer_n_durations[me], and also
makes the corresponding adjustment to the loop outputting per-grace-period
measurements.

Currently, rcu_torture_stall() does a one-jiffy timed wait when
stall_cpu_block is set. This works, but emits a pointless splat in
CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels. This commit avoids this splat by instead
invoking preempt_schedule() in CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels.
This uses an admittedly ugly #ifdef, but abstracted approaches just
looked worse. A prettier approach would provide a preempt_schedule()

This commit fixes several typos where CONFIG_TASKS_RCU_TRACE should
instead be CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU. Among other things, these typos
could cause CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB=y kernels to suffer from
memory-ordering bugs that could result in false-positive quiescent

At CPU offline time, we must handle any pending wakeup for the nocb_gp
kthread linked to the outgoing CPU.
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
don't need to repeat that action. Simply benefit from cache locality
and keep only the first solution.

Invoking trc_del_holdout() from within trc_wait_for_one_reader() is
only a performance optimization because the RCU Tasks Trace grace-period
kthread will eventually do this within check_all_holdout_tasks_trace().
But it is not a particularly important performance optimization because
it only applies to the grace-period kthread, of which there is but one.
This commit therefore removes this invocation of trc_del_holdout() in
favor of the one in check_all_holdout_tasks_trace() in the grace-period
kthread.

As Yanfei pointed out, although invoking trc_del_holdout() is safe
from the viewpoint of the integrity of the holdout list itself,
the put_task_struct() invoked by trc_del_holdout() can result in
use-after-free errors due to later accesses to this task_struct structure
by the RCU Tasks Trace grace-period kthread.
This commit therefore removes this call to trc_del_holdout() from
trc_inspect_reader() in favor of the grace-period thread's existing call
to trc_del_holdout(), thus eliminating that particular class of
use-after-free errors.

If the call to set_cpus_allowed_ptr() in ref_scale_reader()
fails, a later WARN_ONCE() complains. But with the advent of
570a752b7a ("lib/smp_processor_id: Use is_percpu_thread() instead of
nr_cpus_allowed"), this complaint can be drowned out by complaints from
smp_processor_id(). The rationale for this change is that refscale's
kthreads are not marked with PF_NO_SETAFFINITY, which means that a system
administrator could change affinity at any time.
However, refscale is a performance/stress test, and the system
administrator might well have a valid test-the-test reason for changing
affinity. This commit therefore changes to raw_smp_processor_id()
in order to avoid the noise, and also adds a WARN_ON_ONCE() to the
call to set_cpus_allowed_ptr() in order to directly detect immediate
failure. There is no WARN_ON_ONCE() within the test loop, allowing
human-reflex-based affinity resetting, if desired.

kernel.h is being used as a dump for all kinds of stuff for a long time.
Here is the attempt to start cleaning it up by splitting out panic and
oops helpers.
There are several purposes of doing this:
- dropping dependency in bug.h
- dropping a loop by moving out panic_notifier.h
- unload kernel.h from something which has its own domain
At the same time convert users tree-wide to use new headers, although for
the time being include new header back to kernel.h to avoid twisted
indirected includes for existing users.

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.

Tuning the deferred wakeup level must be done from a safe wakeup
point. Currently those sites are:
* ->nocb_timer
* user/idle/guest entry
* CPU down
* softirq/rcuc
All of these sites perform the wake up for both RCU_NOCB_WAKE and

In order to merge ->nocb_timer and ->nocb_bypass_timer together, we plan
to add a new RCU_NOCB_WAKE_BYPASS that really should be deferred until
a timer fires so that we don't wake up the NOCB-gp kthread too early.
To prepare for that, this commit specifies the per-callsite wakeup

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.

RCU priority boosting cannot do anything unless there is at least one
task blocking the current RCU grace period that was preempted within
the RCU read-side critical section that it still resides in. However,
the current rcu_torture_boost_failed() code will count this as an RCU
priority-boosting failure if there were no CPUs blocking the current
grace period. This situation can happen (for example) if the last CPU
blocking the current grace period was subjected to vCPU preemption,
which is always a risk for rcutorture guest OSes.
This commit therefore causes rcu_torture_boost_failed() to refrain from

Currently, show_rcu_gp_kthreads() only dumps rcu_node structures that

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.

If another lockdep report runs concurrently with an RCU lockdep report
from RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN(), the following sequence of events can occur:
1. debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled() sees that lockdep is enabled
when called from (say) synchronize_rcu().
2. Lockdep is disabled by a concurrent lockdep report.
3. debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled() evaluates its lockdep-expression
argument, for example, lock_is_held(&rcu_bh_lock_map).
4. Because lockdep is now disabled, lock_is_held() plays it safe and
returns the constant 1.
5. But in this case, the constant 1 is not safe, because invoking
synchronize_rcu() under rcu_read_lock_bh() is disallowed.
6. debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled() wrongly invokes lockdep_rcu_suspicious(),
resulting in a false-positive splat.
This commit therefore changes RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() to check
debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled() after checking the lockdep expression,
so that any "safe" returns from lock_is_held() are rejected by
debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled(). This requires memory ordering, which is
supplied by READ_ONCE(debug_locks). The resulting volatile accesses
prevent the compiler from reordering and the fact that only one variable
is being accessed prevents the underlying hardware from reordering.
The combination works for IA64, which can reorder reads to the same
location, but this is defeated by the volatile accesses, which compile
to load instructions that provide ordering.

Currently, rcu_spawn_core_kthreads() is invoked via an early_initcall(),
which works, except that rcu_spawn_gp_kthread() is also invoked via an
early_initcall() and rcu_spawn_core_kthreads() relies on adjustments to
kthread_prio that are carried out by rcu_spawn_gp_kthread(). There is
no guaranttee of ordering among early_initcall() handlers, and thus no
guarantee that kthread_prio will be properly checked and range-limited
at the time that rcu_spawn_core_kthreads() needs it.
In most cases, this bug is harmless. After all, the only reason that
rcu_spawn_gp_kthread() adjusts the value of kthread_prio is if the user
specified a nonsensical value for this boot parameter, which experience
indicates is rare.
Nevertheless, a bug is a bug. This commit therefore causes the
rcu_spawn_core_kthreads() function to be invoked directly from
rcu_spawn_gp_kthread() after any needed adjustments to kthread_prio have
been carried out.

It will frequently be the case that rcu_torture_boost() will get a
->start_gp_poll() cookie that needs almost all of the current grace period
plus an additional grace period to elapse before ->poll_gp_state() will
return true. It is quite possible that the current grace period will have
(say) two seconds of stall by a CPU failing to pass through a quiescent
state, followed by 300 milliseconds of delay due to a preempted reader.
The next grace period might suffer only one second of stall by a CPU,
followed by another 300 milliseconds of delay due to a preempted reader.
This is an example of RCU priority boosting doing its job, but the full
elapsed time of 3.6 seconds exceeds the 3.5-second limit. In addition,
there is no CPU stall in force at the 3.5-second mark, so this would
nevertheless currently be counted as an RCU priority boosting failure.
This commit therefore avoids this sort of false positive by resetting
the gp_state_time timestamp any time that the current grace period is
being blocked by a CPU. This results in extremely frequent calls to
the ->check_boost_failed() function, so this commit provides a lockless
fastpath that is selected by supplying a NULL CPU-number pointer.

Currently, rcu_torture_boost() runs CPU-bound at real-time priority
to force RCU priority inversions. It then checks that grace periods
progress during this CPU-bound time. If grace periods fail to progress,
it reports and RCU priority boosting failure.
However, it is possible (and sometimes does happen) that the grace period
fails to progress due to a CPU failing to pass through a quiescent state
for an extended time period (3.5 seconds by default). This can happen
due to vCPU preemption, long-running interrupts, and much else besides.
There is nothing that RCU priority boosting can do about these situations,
and so they should not be counted as RCU priority boosting failures.
This commit therefore checks for CPUs (as opposed to preempted tasks)
holding up a grace period, and flags the resulting RCU priority boosting
failures, but does not splat nor count them as errors. It does rate-limit
them to avoid flooding the console log.

It is possible that a delayed grace period that rcu_torture_boost()
was polling for ended while rcu_torture_boost_failed() was printing the
failure splat. It would be good to know when this happens. This commit

printing the splat, and printing a message indicating whether or not
the grace period has ended.

This commit consolidates two loops in rcu_torture_boost(), one of which
counts the number of boost-test episodes and the other of which computes
the start time of the next episode, into one loop that does both with but
a single acquisition of boost_mutex. This means that the count of the
number of boost-test episodes is incremented after an episode completes
rather than before it starts, but it also avoids the over-counting that
was possible previously.

If an rcu_torture_boost() kthread determines that its grace period
has not yet ended, it invokes rcu_torture_boost_failed() which checks
whether enough time has elapsed for this to be considered a failure of
RCU priority boosting, and, if so, flags the error.
Unfortunately, that kthread might be preempted for some seconds between
the time that it checks the grace period and the time that it checks the
time. This delay can result in a false positive, featuring a complaint
that a particular grace period has not ended, followed by a diagnostic
dump featuring a much later grace period.
This commit avoids these false positives by rechecking for the end of
the grace period after the time check.

Currently, rcutorture's testing of RCU priority boosting insists not
only that grace periods complete, but also that callbacks be invoked.
Although this is in fact what the user would want, ensuring that there
is sufficient CPU bandwidth devoted to callback execution is in fact
the user's responsibility. One could argue that rcutorture can take on
that responsibility, which is true in theory. But in practice, ensuring
sufficient CPU bandwidth to ksoftirqd, any rcuc kthreads, and any rcuo
kthreads is not particularly consistent with rcutorture's main job,
that of stress-testing RCU. In addition, if the system administrator
(say) makes very poor choices when pinning rcuo kthreads and then runs
rcutorture, there really isn't much rcutorture can do.
Besides, RCU priority boosting only boosts lagging readers, not all the
machinery required to invoke callbacks in a timely fashion.
This commit therefore switches rcutorture's evaluation of RCU priority
boosting from callback execution to grace-period completion by using
the new start_poll_synchronize_rcu() and poll_state_synchronize_rcu()
functions. When rcutorture is built in (as in when there is no innocent
workload to inconvenience), the ksoftirqd ktheads are boosted to real-time
priority 2 in order to allow timeouts to work properly in the face of
rcutorture's testing of RCU priority boosting.
Indeed, it is not as easy as it looks to create a reliable test of RCU
priority boosting without destroying the rest of the kernel!

An srcu_struct structure that is initialized before rcu_init_geometry()
will have its srcu_node hierarchy based on CONFIG_NR_CPUS. Once
rcu_init_geometry() is called, this hierarchy is compressed as needed
for the actual maximum number of CPUs for this system.
Later on, that srcu_struct structure is confused, sometimes referring
to its initial CONFIG_NR_CPUS-based hierarchy, and sometimes instead
to the new num_possible_cpus() hierarchy. For example, each of its
->mynode fields continues to reference the original leaf rcu_node
structures, some of which might no longer exist. On the other hand,
srcu_for_each_node_breadth_first() traverses to the new node hierarchy.
There are at least two bad possible outcomes to this:
1) a) A callback enqueued early on an srcu_data structure (call it
*sdp) is recorded pending on sdp->mynode->srcu_data_have_cbs in
srcu_funnel_gp_start() with sdp->mynode pointing to a deep leaf
(say 3 levels).
b) The grace period ends after rcu_init_geometry() shrinks the
nodes level to a single one. srcu_gp_end() walks through the new
srcu_node hierarchy without ever reaching the old leaves so the
callback is never executed.
This is easily reproduced on an 8 CPUs machine with CONFIG_NR_CPUS >= 32
and "rcupdate.rcu_self_test=1". The srcu_barrier() after early tests
verification never completes and the boot hangs:

2) An srcu_struct structure that is initialized before rcu_init_geometry()
and used afterward will always have stale rdp->mynode references,
resulting in callbacks to be missed in srcu_gp_end(), just like in
the previous scenario.
This commit therefore causes init_srcu_struct_nodes to initialize the
geometry, if needed. This ensures that the srcu_node hierarchy is
properly built and distributed from the get-go.

Once srcu_init() is called, the SRCU core will make use of delayed
workqueues, which rely on timers. However init_timers() is called
several steps after rcu_init(). This means that a call_srcu() after
rcu_init() but before init_timers() would find itself within a dangerously

This commit therefore creates a separate call to srcu_init() after

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 we have three functions which depend on each other.
Two of them are quite tiny and the last one where the most
work is done. All of them are related to queuing RCU batches
to reclaim objects after a GP.
1. kfree_rcu_monitor(). It consist of few lines. It acquires a spin-lock
and calls kfree_rcu_drain_unlock().
2. kfree_rcu_drain_unlock(). It also consists of few lines of code. It
calls queue_kfree_rcu_work() to queue the batch. If this fails,
it rearms the monitor work to try again later.
3. queue_kfree_rcu_work(). This provides the bulk of the functionality,
attempting to start a new batch to free objects after a GP.
Since there are no external users of functions [2] and [3], both
can eliminated by moving all logic directly into [1], which both
shrinks and simplifies the code.
Also replace comments which start with "/*" to "//" format to make it
unified across the file.

The kvfree_rcu() function now defers allocations in the common
case due to the fact that there is no lockless access to the
memory-allocator caches/pools. In addition, in CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y
and in CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y kernels, there is no reliable way to
determine if spinlocks are held. As a result, allocation is deferred in
the common case, and the two-argument form of kvfree_rcu() thus uses the
"channel 3" queue through all the rcu_head structures. This channel
is called referred to as the emergency case in comments, and these
comments are now obsolete.
This commit therefore updates these comments to reflect the new

work can safely be queued, at which point memory passed to earlier
invocations of kvfree_rcu() can be processed.
However, only "krcp->head" is checked for objects that need to be

The reason behind of it is a system can run into a low memory
condition, in that case a page shrinker can ask for its users
to free their caches in order to get extra memory available for
other needs in a system.
When a system hits such condition, a page cache is drained for

needed it can be changed. See a rcu_delay_page_cache_fill_msec
