This commit saves a few lines of code by also using the bash
config_override_param() to set the initial list of Kconfig options from
the CFcommon file. While in the area, it makes this function capable of
update-in-place on the file containing the cumulative Kconfig options,
thus avoiding annoying changes when adding another source of options.

This commit applies config_override_param() to allow scenario-specific
Kconfig options to override those in CFcommon. This in turn will allow
additional Kconfig options to be placed in CFcommon, for example, an
option common to all but a few scenario can be placed in CFcommon and
then overridden in those few scenarios. Plus this change saves one
whole line of code.

Currently, attempting to override a --kcsan default with a --kconfig
option might or might not work. However, it would be good to allow the
user to adjust the --kcsan defaults, for example, to specify a different
time for CONFIG_KCSAN_REPORT_ONCE_IN_MS. This commit therefore uses the
new config_override_param() bash function to apply the --kcsan defaults
and then apply the --kconfig options, which allows this overriding
to occur.

This commit introduces a config_override_param() bash function that
folds in an additional set of Kconfig options. This is initially applied
to fold in the --kconfig kvm.sh parameter, but later commits will also
apply it to the Kconfig options added by the --kcsan kvm.sh parameter.

The #CHECK# directives that can be present in CFcommon and in the
rcutorture scenario Kconfig files are both copied to ConfigFragment
and grepped out of the two directive files and added to ConfigFragment.
This commit therefore removes the redundant "grep" commands and takes
advantage of the consequent opportunity to simplify redirection.

The KCSAN tool emits a great many warnings for current kernels, for
example, a one-hour run of the full set of rcutorture scenarios results
in no fewer than 3252 such warnings, many of which are duplicates
or are otherwise closely related. This commit therefore introduces
a kcsan-collapse.sh script that maps these warnings down to a set of
function pairs (22 of them given the 3252 individual warnings), placing
the resulting list in decreasing order of frequency of occurrence into
a kcsan.sum file. If any KCSAN warnings were produced, the pathname of
this file is emitted at the end of the summary of the rcutorture runs.

Although the existing --kconfig argument can be used to run KCSAN for
an rcutorture test, it is not as straightforward as one might like:
--kconfig "CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y CONFIG_KCSAN=y \
CONFIG_KCSAN_ASSUME_PLAIN_WRITES_ATOMIC=n \
CONFIG_KCSAN_REPORT_VALUE_CHANGE_ONLY=n \
CONFIG_KCSAN_REPORT_ONCE_IN_MS=100000 \
CONFIG_KCSAN_VERBOSE=y CONFIG_KCSAN_INTERRUPT_WATCHER=y"
This commit therefore adds a "--kcsan" argument that emulates the above
--kconfig command. Note that if you specify a Kconfig option using
-kconfig that conflicts with one that --kcsan adds, you get whatever
the script and the build system decide to give you.

This commit aids testing of RCU task stall warning messages by adding
an rcutorture.stall_cpu_block module parameter that results in the
induced stall sleeping within the RCU read-side critical section.
Spinning with interrupts disabled is still available via the
rcutorture.stall_cpu_irqsoff module parameter, and specifying neither
of these two module parameters will spin with preemption disabled.
Note that sleeping (as opposed to preemption) results in additional
complaints from RCU at context-switch time, so yet more testing.

When using -Wextra, gcc complains about torture_preempt_schedule()
when its definition is empty (i.e., when CONFIG_PREEMPTION is not
set/enabled). Fix these warnings by adding an empty do-while block
for that macro when CONFIG_PREEMPTION is not set.

The n_barrier_successes, n_barrier_attempts, and
n_rcu_torture_barrier_error variables are updated (without access
markings) by the main rcu_barrier() test kthread, and accessed (also
without access markings) by the rcu_torture_stats() kthread. This of
course can result in KCSAN complaints.
Because the accesses are in diagnostic prints, this commit uses
data_race() to excuse the diagnostic prints from the data race. If this
were to ever cause bogus statistics prints (for example, due to store
tearing), any misleading information would be disambiguated by the
presence or absence of an rcutorture splat.
This data race was reported by KCSAN. Not appropriate for backporting
due to failure being unlikely and due to the mild consequences of the
failure, namely a confusing rcutorture console message.

When all quiescent states have been seen, it is normally the grace-period
kthread that is in trouble. Although the existing stack trace from
the current CPU might possibly provide useful information, experience
indicates that there is too much noise for this to be worthwhile.

If the grace-period kthread is starved, idle threads' extended quiescent
states are not reported. These idle threads thus wrongly appear to

is being starved.

Although the accesses used to determine whether or not an expedited
stall should be printed are an integral part of the concurrency algorithm
governing use of the corresponding variables, the values that are simply
printed are ancillary. As such, it is best to use data_race() for these
accesses in order to provide the greatest latitude in the use of KCSAN
for the other accesses that are an integral part of the algorithm. This
commit therefore changes the relevant uses of READ_ONCE() to data_race().

The rcu_read_unlock_trace() can invoke rcu_read_unlock_trace_special(),
which in turn can call wake_up(). Therefore, if any scheduler lock is
held across a call to rcu_read_unlock_trace(), self-deadlock can occur.
This commit therefore uses the irq_work facility to defer the wake_up()
to a clean environment where no scheduler locks will be held.

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

This commit provides a rcupdate.rcu_task_ipi_delay kernel boot parameter
that specifies how old the RCU tasks trace grace period must be before
the grace-period kthread starts sending IPIs. This delay allows more
tasks to pass through rcu_tasks_qs() quiescent states, thus reducing
(or even eliminating) the number of IPIs that must be sent.
On a short rcutorture test setting this kernel boot parameter to HZ/2
resulted in zero IPIs for all 877 RCU-tasks trace grace periods that
elapsed during that test.

remove it from the holdout list if it still remains there.

Because RCU does not watch exception early-entry/late-exit, idle-loop,
or CPU-hotplug execution, protection of tracing and BPF operations is
needlessly complicated. This commit therefore adds a variant of
Tasks RCU that:
o Has explicit read-side markers to allow finite grace periods in
the face of in-kernel loops for PREEMPT=n builds. These markers
are rcu_read_lock_trace() and rcu_read_unlock_trace().
o Protects code in the idle loop, exception entry/exit, and
CPU-hotplug code paths. In this respect, RCU-tasks trace is
similar to SRCU, but with lighter-weight readers.
o Avoids expensive read-side instruction, having overhead similar
to that of Preemptible RCU.
There are of course downsides:
o The grace-period code can send IPIs to CPUs, even when those
CPUs are in the idle loop or in nohz_full userspace. This is
mitigated by later commits.
o It is necessary to scan the full tasklist, much as for Tasks RCU.
o There is a single callback queue guarded by a single lock,
again, much as for Tasks RCU. However, those early use cases
that request multiple grace periods in quick succession are
expected to do so from a single task, which makes the single
lock almost irrelevant. If needed, multiple callback queues
can be provided using any number of schemes.
Perhaps most important, this variant of RCU does not affect the vanilla
flavors, rcu_preempt and rcu_sched. The fact that RCU Tasks Trace
readers can operate from idle, offline, and exception entry/exit in no
way enables rcu_preempt and rcu_sched readers to do so.
The memory ordering was outlined here:

Updates make use of IPIs and force an IPI and a context switch on each
