The need_offload_krc() function is now lock-free, which gives the
compiler freedom to load old values from plain C-language loads from
the kfree_rcu_cpu struture's ->head pointer. This commit therefore
applied READ_ONCE() to these loads.

Currently all objects placed into a batch wait for a full grace period
to elapse after that batch is ready to send to RCU. However, this
can unnecessarily delay freeing of the first objects that were added
to the batch. After all, several RCU grace periods might have elapsed
since those objects were added, and if so, there is no point in further
deferring their freeing.
This commit therefore adds per-page grace-period snapshots which are
obtained from get_state_synchronize_rcu(). When the batch is ready
to be passed to call_rcu(), each page's snapshot is checked by passing
it to poll_state_synchronize_rcu(). If a given page's RCU grace period
has already elapsed, its objects are freed immediately by kvfree_rcu_bulk().
Otherwise, these objects are freed after a call to synchronize_rcu().
This approach requires that the pages be traversed in reverse order,
that is, the oldest ones first.
Test example:
kvm.sh --memory 10G --torture rcuscale --allcpus --duration 1 \
--kconfig CONFIG_NR_CPUS=64 \

The need_offload_krc() function currently holds the krcp->lock in order
to safely check krcp->head. This commit removes the need for this lock
in that function by updating the krcp->head pointer using WRITE_ONCE()
macro so that readers can carry out lockless loads of that pointer.

The kvfree_rcu() code maintains lists of pages of pointers, but also a
singly linked list, with the latter being used when memory allocation
fails. Traversal of these two types of lists is currently open coded.
This commit simplifies the code by providing kvfree_rcu_bulk() and
kvfree_rcu_list() functions, respectively, to traverse these two types
of lists. This patch does not introduce any functional change.

Currently a kvfree_call_rcu() takes an offset within a structure as
a second parameter, so a helper such as a kvfree_rcu_arg_2() has to
convert rcu_head and a freed ptr to an offset in order to pass it. That
leads to an extra conversion on macro entry.
Instead of converting, refactor the code in way that a pointer that has
to be freed is passed directly to the kvfree_call_rcu().
This patch does not make any functional change and is transparent to
all kvfree_rcu() users.

Currently, rcu_blocking_is_gp() invokes might_sleep() even during early
boot when interrupts are disabled and before the scheduler is scheduling.
This is at best an accident waiting to happen. Therefore, this commit
moves that might_sleep() under an rcu_scheduler_active check in order
to ensure that might_sleep() is not invoked unless sleeping might actually
happen.

The normal grace period's RCU CPU stall warnings are invoked from the
scheduling-clock interrupt handler, and can thus invoke smp_processor_id()
with impunity, which allows them to directly invoke dump_cpu_task().
In contrast, the expedited grace period's RCU CPU stall warnings are
invoked from process context, which causes the dump_cpu_task() function's
calls to smp_processor_id() to complain bitterly in debug kernels.
This commit therefore causes synchronize_rcu_expedited_wait() to disable
preemption around its call to dump_cpu_task().

This commit emphasizes the possibility of concurrent calls to
synchronize_rcu() and synchronize_rcu_expedited() causing one or
the other of the two grace periods being lost from the viewpoint of
poll_state_synchronize_rcu().
If you cannot afford to lose grace periods this way, you should
instead use the _full() variants of the polled RCU API, for
example, poll_state_synchronize_rcu_full().

Currently, rcu_do_batch() sizes its batches based on the total number
of callbacks in the callback list. This can result in some strange
choices, for example, if there was 12,800 callbacks in the list, but
only 200 were ready to invoke, RCU would invoke 100 at a time (12,800
shifted down by seven bits).
A more measured approach would use the number that were actually ready
to invoke, an approach that has become feasible only recently given the
per-segment ->seglen counts in ->cblist.
This commit therefore bases the batch limit on the number of callbacks
ready to invoke instead of on the total number of callbacks.

Pull RCU fix from Paul McKenney:
"This fixes a lockdep false positive in synchronize_rcu() that can
otherwise occur during early boot.
The fix simply avoids invoking lockdep if the scheduler has not yet
been initialized, that is, during that portion of boot when interrupts
are disabled"

rcu: Don't assert interrupts enabled too early in boot
|
|
The rcu_poll_gp_seq_end() and rcu_poll_gp_seq_end_unlocked() both check
that interrupts are enabled, as they normally should be when waiting for
an RCU grace period. Except that it is legal to wait for grace periods
during early boot, before interrupts have been enabled for the first time,
and polling for grace periods is required to work during this time.
This can result in false-positive lockdep splats in the presence of
boot-time-initiated tracing.
This commit therefore conditions those interrupts-enabled checks on
rcu_scheduler_active having advanced past RCU_SCHEDULER_INACTIVE, by
which time interrupts have been enabled.

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Add NMI-safe SRCU reader API. It uses atomic_inc() instead of
this_cpu_inc() on strong load-store architectures.
- Introduce new console_list_lock to synchronize a manipulation of the
list of registered consoles and their flags.
This is a first step in removing the big-kernel-lock-like behavior of
console_lock(). This semaphore still serializes console->write()
calbacks against:
- each other. It primary prevents potential races between early
and proper console drivers using the same device.
- suspend()/resume() callbacks and init() operations in some
drivers.
- various other operations in the tty/vt and framebufer
susbsystems. It is likely that console_lock() serializes even
operations that are not directly conflicting with the
console->write() callbacks here. This is the most complicated
big-kernel-lock aspect of the console_lock() that will be hard
to untangle.
- Introduce new console_srcu lock that is used to safely iterate and
access the registered console drivers under SRCU read lock.
This is a prerequisite for introducing atomic console drivers and
console kthreads. It will reduce the complexity of serialization
against normal consoles and console_lock(). Also it should remove the
risk of deadlock during critical situations, like Oops or panic, when
only atomic consoles are registered.
- Check whether the console is registered instead of enabled on many
locations. It was a historical leftover.
- Cleanly force a preferred console in xenfb code instead of a dirty
hack.
- A lot of code and comment clean ups and improvements.

Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney:
- Documentation updates. This is the second in a series from an ongoing
review of the RCU documentation.
- Miscellaneous fixes.
- Introduce a default-off Kconfig option that depends on RCU_NOCB_CPU
that, on CPUs mentioned in the nohz_full or rcu_nocbs boot-argument
CPU lists, causes call_rcu() to introduce delays.
These delays result in significant power savings on nearly idle
Android and ChromeOS systems. These savings range from a few percent
to more than ten percent.
This series also includes several commits that change call_rcu() to a
new call_rcu_hurry() function that avoids these delays in a few
cases, for example, where timely wakeups are required. Several of
these are outside of RCU and thus have acks and reviews from the
relevant maintainers.
- Create an srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() and an srcu_read_unlock_nmisafe()
for architectures that support NMIs, but which do not provide
NMI-safe this_cpu_inc(). These NMI-safe SRCU functions are required
by the upcoming lockless printk() work by John Ogness et al.

coverage for the new RCU polled-grace-period APIs.
- Changes to torturescript that avoid redundant kernel builds, thus
providing about a 30% speedup for the torture.sh acceptance test.

Kernels configured with CONFIG_PRINTK=n and CONFIG_SRCU=n get build
failures. This causes trouble for deep embedded systems. But given
that there are more than 25 instances of "select SRCU" in the kernel,
it is hard to believe that there are many kernels running in production
without SRCU. This commit therefore makes SRCU mandatory. The SRCU
Kconfig option remains for backwards compatibility, and will be removed
when it is no longer used.

This commit adds 2 tests to rcuscale. The first one is a startup test
to check whether we are not too lazy or too hard working. The second
one causes kfree_rcu() itself to use call_rcu() and checks memory
pressure. Testing indicates that the new call_rcu() keeps memory pressure

Implement timer-based RCU callback batching (also known as lazy
callbacks). With this we save about 5-10% of power consumed due
to RCU requests that happen when system is lightly loaded or idle.
By default, all async callbacks (queued via call_rcu) are marked
lazy. An alternate API call_rcu_hurry() is provided for the few users,
for example synchronize_rcu(), that need the old behavior.
The batch is flushed whenever a certain amount of time has passed, or
the batch on a particular CPU grows too big. Also memory pressure will
flush it in a future patch.
To handle several corner cases automagically (such as rcu_barrier() and
hotplug), we re-use bypass lists which were originally introduced to
address lock contention, to handle lazy CBs as well. The bypass list
length has the lazy CB length included in it. A separate lazy CB length
counter is also introduced to keep track of the number of lazy CBs.

Using the NMI-unsafe reader API from within an NMI handler is very likely
to be buggy for three reasons:
1) NMIs aren't strictly re-entrant (a pending nested NMI will execute at
the end of the current one) so it should be fine to use a non-atomic
increment here. However, breakpoints can still interrupt NMIs and if
a breakpoint callback has a reader on that same ssp, a racy increment
can happen.
2) If the only reader site for a given srcu_struct structure is in an
NMI handler, then RCU should be used instead of SRCU.
3) Because of the previous reason (2), an srcu_struct structure having
an SRCU read side critical section in an NMI handler is likely to
have another one from a task context.
For all these reasons, warn if an NMI-unsafe reader API is used from an
NMI handler.

Making polled RCU grace periods account for expedited grace periods
required acquiring the leaf rcu_node structure's lock during early boot,
but after rcu_init() was called. This lock is irq-disabled, but the
code incorrectly assumes that irqs are always disabled when invoking
synchronize_rcu(). The exception is early boot before the scheduler has
started, which means that upon return from synchronize_rcu(), irqs will
be incorrectly enabled.
This commit fixes this bug by using irqsave/irqrestore locking primitives.

This commit adds runtime checks to verify that a given srcu_struct uses
consistent NMI-safe (or not) read-side primitives globally, but based
on the per-CPU data. These global checks are made by the grace-period
code that must scan the srcu_data structures anyway, and are done only
in kernels built with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y.

On strict load-store architectures, the use of this_cpu_inc() by
srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock() is not NMI-safe in TREE SRCU.
To see this suppose that an NMI arrives in the middle of srcu_read_lock(),
just after it has read ->srcu_lock_count, but before it has written
the incremented value back to memory. If that NMI handler also does
srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_lock() on that same srcu_struct structure,
then upon return from that NMI handler, the interrupted srcu_read_lock()
will overwrite the NMI handler's update to ->srcu_lock_count, but
leave unchanged the NMI handler's update by srcu_read_unlock() to
->srcu_unlock_count.
This can result in a too-short SRCU grace period, which can in turn
result in arbitrary memory corruption.
If the NMI handler instead interrupts the srcu_read_unlock(), this
can result in eternal SRCU grace periods, which is not much better.
This commit therefore creates a pair of new srcu_read_lock_nmisafe()
and srcu_read_unlock_nmisafe() functions, which allow SRCU readers in
both NMI handlers and in process and IRQ context. It is bad practice
to mix the existing and the new _nmisafe() primitives on the same
srcu_struct structure. Use one set or the other, not both.
Just to underline that "bad practice" point, using srcu_read_lock() at
process level and srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() in your NMI handler will not,
repeat NOT, work. If you do not immediately understand why this is the
case, please review the earlier paragraphs in this commit log.

When the bypass cblist gets too big or its timeout has occurred, it is
flushed into the main cblist. However, the bypass timer is still running
and the behavior is that it would eventually expire and wake the GP
thread.
Since we are going to use the bypass cblist for lazy CBs, do the wakeup
soon as the flush for "too big or too long" bypass list happens.
Otherwise, long delays can happen for callbacks which get promoted from
lazy to non-lazy.
This is a good thing to do anyway (regardless of future lazy patches),
since it makes the behavior consistent with behavior of other code paths
where flushing into the ->cblist makes the GP kthread into a
non-sleeping state quickly.

In kernels built with either CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL=y or
CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y, additional CPUs must be added to rcu_nocb_mask.
Except that kernels booted without the rcu_nocbs= will not have
allocated rcu_nocb_mask. And the current rcu_init_nohz() function uses
its need_rcu_nocb_mask and offload_all local variables to track the
rcu_nocb and nohz_full state.
But there is a much simpler approach, namely creating a cpumask pointer
to track the default and then using cpumask_available() to check the
rcu_nocb_mask state. This commit takes this approach, thereby simplifying
and shortening the rcu_init_nohz() function.

Once either rcutree_online_cpu() or rcutree_dead_cpu() is invoked
concurrently, the following rcu_boost_kthread_setaffinity() race can
occur:
CPU 1 CPU2
mask = rcu_rnp_online_cpus(rnp);
...
mask = rcu_rnp_online_cpus(rnp);
...
set_cpus_allowed_ptr(t, cm);
set_cpus_allowed_ptr(t, cm);
This results in CPU2's update being overwritten by that of CPU1, and
thus the possibility of ->boost_kthread_task continuing to run on a
to-be-offlined CPU.
This commit therefore eliminates this race by relying on the pre-existing
acquisition of ->boost_kthread_mutex to serialize the full process of
changing the affinity of ->boost_kthread_task.

The rcu_report_dead() function invokes rcu_report_exp_rdp() in order
to force an immediate expedited quiescent state on the outgoing
CPU, and then it invokes rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() to provide any
required deferred quiescent state of either sort. Because the call to
rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() provides the expedited RCU quiescent state if
requested, the call to rcu_report_exp_rdp() is potentially redundant.
One possible issue is a concurrent start of a new expedited RCU
grace period, but this situation is already handled correctly
by __sync_rcu_exp_select_node_cpus(). This function will detect
that the CPU is going offline via the error return from its call
to smp_call_function_single(). In that case, it will retry, and
eventually stop retrying due to rcu_report_exp_rdp() clearing the
->qsmaskinitnext bit corresponding to the target CPU. As a result,
__sync_rcu_exp_select_node_cpus() will report the necessary quiescent
state after dealing with any remaining CPU.
This change assumes that control does not enter rcu_report_dead() within
an RCU read-side critical section, but then again, the surviving call
to rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() has always made this assumption.
This commit therefore removes the call to rcu_report_exp_rdp(), thus
relying on rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() to handle both normal and expedited
quiescent states.
