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

listRCU.rst document gives an example with 'ipc_lock()', but the
function has dropped off by commit 82061c57ce93 ("ipc: drop
ipc_lock()"). Because the main logic of 'ipc_lock()' has melded in
'shm_lock()' by the commit, this commit updates the document to use
'shm_lock()' instead.

This commit enables the KCSAN Kconfig options that (1) detect data
races between reads and writes even when the writes do not change the
variable's value and (2) detect data races involving plain C-language
writes. These changes only affect scripted rcutorture runs and can be
overridden using the kvm.sh --kconfig argument.

Currently, if rcu_barrier() returns too soon, the test waits 100ms and
then does another instance of the test. However, if rcu_barrier() were
to have waited for more than 100ms too short a time, this could cause
the test's rcu_head structures to be reused while they were still on
RCU's callback lists. This can result in knock-on errors that obscure
the original rcu_barrier() test failure.
This commit therefore adds code that attempts to wait until all of
the test's callbacks have been invoked. Of course, if RCU completely
lost track of the corresponding rcu_head structures, this wait could be
forever. This commit therefore also complains if this attempted recovery
takes more than one second, and it also gives up when the test ends.

Currently, rcu_torture_barrier_cbs() posts callbacks from whatever CPU
it is running on, which means that all these kthreads might well be
posting from the same CPU, which would drastically reduce the effectiveness
of this test. This commit therefore uses IPIs to make the callbacks be
posted from the corresponding CPU (given by local variable myid).
If the IPI fails (which can happen if the target CPU is offline or does
not exist at all), the callback is posted on whatever CPU is currently
running.

During changes to kfree_rcu() code, we often check the amount of free
memory. As an alternative to checking this manually, this commit adds a
measurement in the test itself. It measures four times during the test
for available memory, digitally filters these measurements to produce a
running average with a weight of 0.5, and compares this digitally filtered
value with the amount of available memory at the beginning of the test.
Something like the following is printed at the end of the run:
Total time taken by all kfree'ers: 6369738407 ns, loops: 10000, batches: 764, memory footprint: 216MB

When running the default list of tests, the run summary of a successful
(that is, failed to find any errors) run fits easily on a 24-line screen.
But a run with something like "--configs '5*CFLIST'" will be 80 lines long,
and it is all too easy to miss a failure message when scrolling back.
This commit therefore prints out the number of runs with failing builds
or runtime failures, but only if there are any such failures.
For example, a run with a single build error and a single runtime error
would print two lines like this:
1 runs with build errors.
1 runs with runtime errors.

In theory, RCU-hotplug operations are supposed to work as soon as there
is more than one CPU online. However, in practice, in normal production
there is no way to make them happen until userspace is up and running.
Besides which, on smaller systems, rcutorture doesn't start doing hotplug
operations until 30 seconds after the start of boot, which on most
systems also means the better part of 30 seconds after the end of boot.
This commit therefore provides a new torture.disable_onoff_at_boot kernel
boot parameter that suppresses CPU-hotplug torture operations until
about the time that init is spawned.
Of course, if you know of a need for boottime CPU-hotplug operations,
then you should avoid passing this argument to any of the torture tests.
You might also want to look at the splats linked to below.

In normal production, an excessively long wait on a grace period
(synchronize_rcu(), for example) at boottime is often just as bad
as at any other time. In fact, given the desire for fast boot, any
sort of long wait at boot is a bad idea. However, heavy rcutorture
testing on large hyperthreaded systems can generate such long waits
during boot as a matter of course. This commit therefore causes
the rcupdate.rcu_cpu_stall_suppress_at_boot kernel boot parameter to
suppress reporting of bootime bad-sequence warning due to excessively
long grace-period waits.

During boot, CPU hotplug is often disabled, for example by PCI probing.
On large systems that take substantial time to boot, this can result
in spurious RCU_HOTPLUG errors. This commit therefore forgives any
boottime -EBUSY CPU-hotplug failures by adjusting counters to pretend
that the corresponding attempt never happened. A non-splat record
of the failed attempt is emitted to the console with the added string
"(-EBUSY forgiven during boot)".

Additional rcutorture aggression can result in, believe it or not,
boot times in excess of three minutes on large hyperthreaded systems.
This is long enough for rcutorture to decide to do some callback flooding,
which seems a bit excessive given that userspace cannot have started
until long after boot, and it is userspace that does the real-world
callback flooding. Worse yet, because Tiny RCU lacks forward-progress
functionality, the looping-in-the-kernel tests can also be problematic
during early boot.
This commit therefore causes rcutorture to hold off on callback
flooding until about the time that init is spawned, and the same
for looping-in-the-kernel tests for Tiny RCU.

The names of the per-test results directories are of the form
2019.11.29-20:42:19. This works, but the ":" characters make
tab-based shell name completion a bit onerous because the user must
remember to include a quote character somewhere before the first ":".
This commit therefore changes the ":" characters to periods, as in
2019.12.01-20.48.01", which allows tab-based completion to work more

Some larger systems can take in excess of 50 seconds to complete their
early boot initcalls prior to spawing init. This does not in any way
help the forward-progress judgments of built-in rcutorture (when
rcutorture is built as a module, the insmod or modprobe command normally
cannot happen until some time after boot completes). This commit
therefore suppresses such complaints until about the time that init
is spawned.
This also includes a fix to a stupid error located by kbuild test robot.

RCU priority boosting currently is not applied until the grace period
is at least 250 milliseconds old (or the number of milliseconds specified
by the CONFIG_RCU_BOOST_DELAY Kconfig option). Although this has worked
well, it can result in OOM under conditions of RCU callback flooding.
One can argue that the real-time systems using RCU priority boosting
should carefully avoid RCU callback flooding, but one can just as well
argue that an OOM is a rather obnoxious error message.
This commit therefore disables the RCU priority boosting delay when
there are excessive numbers of callbacks queued.

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

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

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

in case of CONFIG_SLAB there is double increase in performance and
slightly higher memory usage. As for CONFIG_SLUB, the performance
figures are better together with lower memory usage.
2) Testing on the HiKey-960, arm64, 8xCPUs with below parameters:
CONFIG_SLAB=y
kfree_loops=200000 kfree_alloc_num=1000 kfree_rcu_test=1
102898760401 ns, loops: 200000, batches: 5822, memory footprint: 158MB
89947009882 ns, loops: 200000, batches: 6715, memory footprint: 115MB
rcuperf shows approximately ~12% better throughput in case of
using "bulk" interface. The "drain logic" or its RCU callback
does the work faster that leads to better throughput.

Currently, nocb_gp_wait() unconditionally complains if there is a
callback not already associated with a grace period. This assumes that
either there was no such callback initially on the one hand, or that
the rcu_advance_cbs() function assigned all such callbacks to a grace
period on the other. However, in theory there are some situations that
would prevent rcu_advance_cbs() from assigning all of the callbacks.
This commit therefore checks for unassociated callbacks immediately after
rcu_advance_cbs() returns, while the corresponding rcu_node structure's
->lock is still held. If there are unassociated callbacks at that point,
the subsequent WARN_ON_ONCE() is disabled.

The ->nocb_lock lockdep assertion is currently guarded by cpu_online(),
which is incorrect for no-CBs CPUs, whose callback lists must be
protected by ->nocb_lock regardless of whether or not the corresponding
CPU is online. This situation could result in failure to detect bugs
resulting from failing to hold ->nocb_lock for offline CPUs.
This commit therefore removes the cpu_online() guard.
