This commit converts rcutorture.c values for the reader_flavor module
parameter from hexadecimal to the SRCU_READ_FLAVOR_* C-preprocessor
macros. The actual modprobe or kernel-boot-parameter values for
read_flavor must still be entered in hexadecimal.

Currently, srcu_read_lock_lite() uses the SRCU_READ_FLAVOR_LITE bit in
->srcu_reader_flavor to communicate to the grace-period processing in
srcu_readers_active_idx_check() that the smp_mb() must be replaced by a
synchronize_rcu(). Unfortunately, ->srcu_reader_flavor is not updated
unless the kernel is built with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y. Therefore in all
kernels built with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=n, srcu_readers_active_idx_check()
incorrectly uses smp_mb() instead of synchronize_rcu() for srcu_struct
structures whose readers use srcu_read_lock_lite().
This commit therefore causes Tree SRCU srcu_read_lock_lite()
to unconditionally update ->srcu_reader_flavor so that
srcu_readers_active_idx_check() can make the correct choice.

This commit moves __srcu_read_lock_lite() and __srcu_read_unlock_lite()
into include/linux/srcu.h and marks them "static inline" so that they
can be inlined into srcu_read_lock_lite() and srcu_read_unlock_lite(),
respectively. They are not hand-inlined due to Tree SRCU and Tiny SRCU
having different implementations.
The earlier removal of smp_mb() combined with the inlining produce
significant single-percentage performance wins.

This patch adds srcu_read_lock_lite() and srcu_read_unlock_lite(), which
dispense with the read-side smp_mb() but also are restricted to code
regions that RCU is watching. If a given srcu_struct structure uses
srcu_read_lock_lite() and srcu_read_unlock_lite(), it is not permitted
to use any other SRCU read-side marker, before, during, or after.
Another price of light-weight readers is heavier weight grace periods.
Such readers mean that SRCU grace periods on srcu_struct structures
used by light-weight readers will incur at least two calls to
synchronize_rcu(). In addition, normal SRCU grace periods for
light-weight-reader srcu_struct structures never auto-expedite.
Note that expedited SRCU grace periods for light-weight-reader
srcu_struct structures still invoke synchronize_rcu(), not
synchronize_srcu_expedited(). Something about wishing to keep
the IPIs down to a dull roar.
The srcu_read_lock_lite() and srcu_read_unlock_lite() functions may not
(repeat, *not*) be used from NMI handlers, but if this is needed, an
additional flavor of SRCU reader can be added by some future commit.

This commit creates SRCU_READ_FLAVOR_NORMAL and SRCU_READ_FLAVOR_NMI
C-preprocessor macros for srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_lock_nmisafe(),
respectively. These replace the old true/false values that were
previously passed to srcu_check_read_flavor(). In addition, the
srcu_check_read_flavor() function itself requires a bit of rework to
handle bitmasks instead of true/false values.

This commit moves the ->reschedule_jiffies, ->reschedule_count, and
->work fields from the srcu_struct structure to the srcu_usage structure
to reduce the size of the former in order to improve cache locality.
However, this means that the container_of() calls cannot get a pointer
to the srcu_struct because they are no longer in the srcu_struct.
This issue is addressed by adding a ->srcu_ssp field in the srcu_usage
structure that references the corresponding srcu_struct structure.
And given the presence of the sup pointer to the srcu_usage structure,
replace some ssp->srcu_usage-> instances with sup->.

The current srcu_struct structure is on the order of 200 bytes in size
(depending on architecture and .config), which is much better than the
old-style 26K bytes, but still all too inconvenient when one is trying
to achieve good cache locality on a fastpath involving SRCU readers.
However, only a few fields in srcu_struct are used by SRCU readers.
The remaining fields could be offloaded to a new srcu_update
structure, thus shrinking the srcu_struct structure down to a few
tens of bytes. This commit begins this noble quest, a quest that is
complicated by open-coded initialization of the srcu_struct within the
srcu_notifier_head structure. This complication is addressed by updating
the srcu_notifier_head structure's open coding, given that there does
not appear to be a straightforward way of abstracting that initialization.
This commit moves only the ->node pointer to srcu_update. Later commits
will move additional fields.

Further shrinking the srcu_struct structure is eased by requiring
that in-module srcu_struct structures rely more heavily on static
initialization. In particular, this preserves the property that
a module-load-time srcu_struct initialization can fail only due
to memory-allocation failure of the per-CPU srcu_data structures.
It might also slightly improve robustness by keeping the number of memory
allocations that must succeed down percpu_alloc() call.
This is in preparation for splitting an srcu_usage structure out
of the srcu_struct structure.

If an SRCU reader blocks while a synchronize_srcu_expedited() waits for
that same reader, then that grace period will spawn an endless series of
workqueue handlers, consuming a full CPU. This quickly gets pointless
because consuming more CPU isn't going to make that reader get done
faster, especially if it is blocked waiting for an external event.
This commit therefore spawns at most one pair of back-to-back workqueue
handlers per expedited grace period phase, instead inserting increasing
delays as that grace period phase grows older, but capped at 10 jiffies.
In any case, if there have been at least 100 back-to-back workqueue
handlers within a single jiffy, regardless of grace period or grace-period
phase, then a one-jiffy delay is inserted.

This commit instruments the acquisitions of the srcu_struct structure's
->lock, enabling the initiation of a transition from SRCU_SIZE_SMALL
to SRCU_SIZE_BIG when sufficient contention is experienced. The
instrumentation counts the number of trylock failures within the confines
of a single jiffy. If that number exceeds the value specified by the
srcutree.small_contention_lim kernel boot parameter (which defaults to
100), and if the value specified by the srcutree.convert_to_big kernel
boot parameter has the 0x10 bit set (defaults to 0), then a transition
will be automatically initiated.
By default, there will never be any transitions, so that none of the
srcu_struct structures ever gains an srcu_node array.
The useful values for srcutree.convert_to_big are:
0x00: Never convert.
0x01: Always convert at init_srcu_struct() time.
0x02: Convert when rcutorture prints its first round of statistics.
0x03: Decide conversion approach at boot given system size.
0x10: Convert if contention is encountered.
0x12: Convert if contention is encountered or when rcutorture prints
its first round of statistics, whichever comes first.
The value 0x11 acts the same as 0x01 because the conversion happens
before there is any chance of contention.

When an srcu_struct structure is created (but not in a kernel module)
by DEFINE_SRCU() and friends, the per-CPU srcu_data structure is
statically allocated. In all other cases, that structure is obtained
from alloc_percpu(), in which case cleanup_srcu_struct() must invoke
free_percpu() on the resulting ->sda pointer in the srcu_struct pointer.
Which it does.
Except that it also invokes free_percpu() on the ->sda pointer
referencing the statically allocated per-CPU srcu_data structures.
Which free_percpu() is surprisingly OK with.
This commit nevertheless stops cleanup_srcu_struct() from freeing
statically allocated per-CPU srcu_data structures.

If an srcu_struct structure defined by tree SRCU's DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU()
is used by a module, sparse will give the following diagnostic:
sparse: symbol '__srcu_struct_nodes_srcu' was not declared. Should it be static?
The problem is that a within-module DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU() must define
a non-static srcu_struct because it is exported by referencing it in a
special '__section("___srcu_struct_ptrs")'. This reference is needed
so that module load and unloading can invoke init_srcu_struct() and
cleanup_srcu_struct(), respectively. Unfortunately, sparse is unaware of
'__section("___srcu_struct_ptrs")', resulting in the above false-positive
diagnostic. To avoid this false positive, this commit therefore creates
a prototype of the srcu_struct with an "extern" keyword.

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.

Since commit title ("srcu: Allocate per-CPU data for DEFINE_SRCU() in
modules"), modules that call DEFINE_{STATIC,}SRCU will have a new array
of srcu_struct pointers, which is used by srcu code to initialize and
clean up these structures and save valuable per-cpu reserved space.
There is no reason for this array of pointers to be writable, and can
cause security or other hidden bugs. Mark these are read-only after the
module init has completed.
Tested with the following diff to ensure array not writable:
(diff is a bit reduced to avoid patch command getting confused)

b/kernel/module.c

Adding DEFINE_SRCU() or DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU() to a loadable module requires
that the size of the reserved region be increased, which is not something
we want to be doing all that often. One approach would be to require
that loadable modules define an srcu_struct and invoke init_srcu_struct()
from their module_init function and cleanup_srcu_struct() from their
module_exit function. However, this is more than a bit user unfriendly.
This commit therefore creates an ___srcu_struct_ptrs linker section,
and pointers to srcu_struct structures created by DEFINE_SRCU() and
DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU() within a module are placed into that module's
___srcu_struct_ptrs section. The required init_srcu_struct() and
cleanup_srcu_struct() functions are then automatically invoked as needed
when that module is loaded and unloaded, thus allowing modules to continue
to use DEFINE_SRCU() and DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU() while avoiding the need
to increase the size of the reserved region.
Many of the algorithms and some of the code was cheerfully cherry-picked
from other code making use of linker sections, perhaps most notably from
tracepoints. All bugs are nevertheless the sole property of the author.

srcu_queue_delayed_work_on() disables preemption (and therefore CPU
hotplug in RCU's case) and then checks based on its own accounting if a
CPU is online. If the CPU is online it uses queue_delayed_work_on()
otherwise it fallbacks to queue_delayed_work().
The problem here is that queue_work() on -RT does not work with disabled
preemption.
queue_work_on() works also on an offlined CPU. queue_delayed_work_on()
has the problem that it is possible to program a timer on an offlined
CPU. This timer will fire once the CPU is online again. But until then,
the timer remains programmed and nothing will happen.
Add a local timer which will fire (as requested per delay) on the local
CPU and then enqueue the work on the specific CPU.
RCUtorture testing with SRCU-P for 24h showed no problems.

In RCU, the distinction between "rsp", "rnp", and "rdp" has served well
for a great many years, but in SRCU, "sp" vs. "sdp" has proven confusing.
This commit therefore renames SRCU's "sp" pointers to "ssp", so that there
is "ssp" for srcu_struct pointer, "snp" for srcu_node pointer, and "sdp"
for srcu_data pointer.

Allocating a list_head structure that is almost never used, and, when
used, is used only during early boot (rcu_init() and earlier), is a bit
wasteful. This commit therefore eliminates that list_head in favor of
the one in the work_struct structure. This is safe because the work_struct
structure cannot be used until after rcu_init() returns.

Event tracing is moving to SRCU in order to take advantage of the fact
that SRCU may be safely used from idle and even offline CPUs. However,
event tracing can invoke call_srcu() very early in the boot process,
even before workqueue_init_early() is invoked (let alone rcu_init()).
Therefore, call_srcu()'s attempts to queue work fail miserably.
This commit therefore detects this situation, and refrains from attempting
to queue work before rcu_init() time, but does everything else that it
would have done, and in addition, adds the srcu_struct to a global list.
The rcu_init() function now invokes a new srcu_init() function, which
is empty if CONFIG_SRCU=n. Otherwise, srcu_init() queues work for
each srcu_struct on the list. This all happens early enough in boot
that there is but a single CPU with interrupts disabled, which allows
synchronization to be dispensed with.
Of course, the queued work won't actually be invoked until after
workqueue_init() is invoked, which happens shortly after the scheduler
is up and running. This means that although call_srcu() may be invoked
any time after per-CPU variables have been set up, there is still a very
narrow window when synchronize_srcu() won't work, and this window
extends from the time that the scheduler starts until the time that
workqueue_init() returns. This can be fixed in a manner similar to
the fix for synchronize_rcu_expedited() and friends, but until someone
actually needs to use synchronize_srcu() during this window, this fix
is added churn for no benefit.
Finally, note that Tree SRCU's new srcu_init() function invokes
queue_work() rather than the queue_delayed_work() function that is
invoked post-boot. The reason is that queue_delayed_work() will (as you
would expect) post a timer, and timers have not yet been initialized.
So use of queue_work() avoids the complaints about use of uninitialized
spinlocks that would otherwise result. Besides, some delay is already
provide by the aforementioned fact that the queued work won't actually
be invoked until after the scheduler is up and running.

There are macros for static initializer for the three out of four
possible notifier types, that are:
ATOMIC_NOTIFIER_HEAD()
BLOCKING_NOTIFIER_HEAD()
RAW_NOTIFIER_HEAD()
This patch provides a static initilizer for the forth type to make it
complete.

Invoking queue_delayed_work() while holding a raw spinlock is forbidden
in -rt kernels, which is exactly what __call_srcu() does, indirectly via
srcu_funnel_gp_start(). This commit therefore downgrades Tree SRCU's
locking from raw to non-raw spinlocks, which works because call_srcu()
is not ever called while holding a raw spinlock.
