2015-10-07rcu: Better hotplug handling for synchronize_sched_expedited()Paul E. McKenney
Earlier versions of synchronize_sched_expedited() can prematurely end grace periods due to the fact that a CPU marked as cpu_is_offline() can still be using RCU read-side critical sections during the time that CPU makes its last pass through the scheduler and into the idle loop and during the time that a given CPU is in the process of coming online. This commit therefore eliminates this window by adding additional interaction with the CPU-hotplug operations. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2015-10-07rcu: Enable stall warnings for synchronize_rcu_expedited()Paul E. McKenney
This commit redirects synchronize_rcu_expedited()'s wait to synchronize_sched_expedited_wait(), thus enabling RCU CPU stall warnings. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2015-10-07rcu: Add tasks to expedited stall-warning messagesPaul E. McKenney

2015-10-07rcu: Add online/offline info to expedited stall warning messagePaul E. McKenney
This commit makes the RCU CPU stall warning message print online/offline indications immediately after the CPU number. A "O" indicates global offline, a "." global online, and a "o" indicates RCU believes that the CPU is offline for the current grace period and "." otherwise, and an "N" indicates that RCU believes that the CPU will be offline for the next grace period, and "." otherwise, all right after the CPU number. So for CPU 10, you would normally see "10-...:" indicating that everything believes that the CPU is online. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

2015-10-07cpu: Remove try_get_online_cpus()Paul E. McKenney

2015-10-07rcu: Stop excluding CPU hotplug in synchronize_sched_expedited()Paul E. McKenney
Now that synchronize_sched_expedited() uses IPIs, a hook in rcu_sched_qs(), and the ->expmask field in the rcu_node combining tree, it is no longer necessary to exclude CPU hotplug. Any races with CPU hotplug will be detected when attempting to send the IPI. This commit therefore removes the code excluding CPU hotplug operations. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2015-10-07rcu: Stop silencing lockdep false positive for expedited grace periodsPaul E. McKenney
This reverts commit af859beaaba4 (rcu: Silence lockdep false positive for expedited grace periods). Because synchronize_rcu_expedited() no longer invokes synchronize_sched_expedited(), ->exp_funnel_mutex acquisition is no longer nested, so the false positive no longer happens. This commit therefore removes the extra lockdep data structures, as they are no longer needed.
2015-10-07rcu: Switch synchronize_sched_expedited() to IPIPaul E. McKenney
This commit switches synchronize_sched_expedited() from stop_one_cpu_nowait() to smp_call_function_single(), thus moving from an IPI and a pair of context switches to an IPI and a single pass through the scheduler. Of course, if the scheduler actually does decide to switch to a different task, there will still be a pair of context switches, but there would likely have been a pair of context switches anyway, just a bit later.

Currently down_write/up_write calls synchronize_sched_expedited() twice, which is evil. Change this code to rely on rcu-sync primitives. This avoids the _expedited "big hammer", and this can be faster in the contended case or even in the case when a single thread does down_write/up_write in a loop.

2015-10-06rcu: Create rcu_sync infrastructureOleg Nesterov
The rcu_sync infrastructure can be thought of as infrastructure to be used to implement reader-writer primitives having extremely lightweight readers during times when there are no writers. The first use is in the percpu_rwsem used by the VFS subsystem. This infrastructure is functionally equivalent to struct rcu_sync_struct { atomic_t counter; }; /* Check possibility of fast-path read-side operations. */ static inline bool rcu_sync_is_idle(struct rcu_sync_struct *rss) { return atomic_read(&rss->counter) == 0; } /* Tell readers to use slowpaths. */ static inline void rcu_sync_enter(struct rcu_sync_struct *rss) { atomic_inc(&rss->counter); synchronize_sched(); } /* Allow readers to once again use fastpaths. */ static inline void rcu_sync_exit(struct rcu_sync_struct *rss) { synchronize_sched(); atomic_dec(&rss->counter); } The main difference is that it records the state and only calls synchronize_sched() if required. At least some of the calls to synchronize_sched() will be optimized away when rcu_sync_enter() and rcu_sync_exit() are invoked repeatedly in quick succession.

2015-10-06locktorture: Support rtmutex torturingDavidlohr Bueso
Real time mutexes is one of the few general primitives that we do not have in locktorture. Address this -- a few considerations: o To spice things up, enable competing thread(s) to become rt, such that we can stress different prio boosting paths in the rtmutex code. Introduce a ->task_boost callback, only used by rtmutex-torturer. Tasks will boost/deboost around every 50k (arbitrarily) lock/unlock operations. o Hold times are similar to what we have for other locks: only occasionally having longer hold times (per ~200k ops). So we roughly do two full rt boost+deboosting ops with short hold times. Signed-off-by: Davidlohr Bueso <dbueso@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2015-10-06rcu: Don't disable preemption for Tiny and Tree RCU readersBoqun Feng
Because preempt_disable() maps to barrier() for non-debug builds, it forces the compiler to spill and reload registers. Because Tree RCU and Tiny RCU now only appear in CONFIG_PREEMPT=n builds, these barrier() instances generate needless extra code for each instance of rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock(). This extra code slows down Tree RCU and bloats Tiny RCU. This commit therefore removes the preempt_disable() and preempt_enable() from the non-preemptible implementations of __rcu_read_lock() and __rcu_read_unlock(), respectively. However, for debug purposes, preempt_disable() and preempt_enable() are still invoked if CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT=y, because this allows detection of sleeping inside atomic sections in non-preemptible kernels. However, Tiny and Tree RCU operates by coalescing all RCU read-side critical sections on a given CPU that lie between successive quiescent states. It is therefore necessary to compensate for removing barriers from __rcu_read_lock() and __rcu_read_unlock() by adding them to a couple of the RCU functions invoked during quiescent states, namely to rcu_all_qs() and rcu_note_context_switch(). However, note that the latter is more paranoia than necessity, at least until link-time optimizations become more aggressive. This is based on an earlier patch by Paul E. McKenney, fixing a bug encountered in kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT=n and CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT=y. Signed-off-by: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2015-10-06sched/core: Drop unlikely behind BUG_ON()Geliang Tang
(1) For !CONFIG_BUG cases, the bug call is a no-op, so we couldn't care less and the change is ok. (2) PPC and MIPS, which HAVE_ARCH_BUG_ON, do not rely on branch predictions as it seems to be pointless [1] and thus callers should not be trying to push an optimization in the first place. (3) For CONFIG_BUG and !HAVE_ARCH_BUG_ON cases, BUG_ON() contains an unlikely compiler flag already. Hence, we can drop unlikely behind BUG_ON().

Therefore the sched_info state is preserved and things work as expected. By inlining the {de,en}queue_task() functions the new condition becomes (mostly) a compile-time constant and we'll not emit any new branch instructions.

2015-10-06sched/numa: Fix task_tick_fair() from disabling numa_balancingSrikar Dronamraju
If static branch 'sched_numa_balancing' is enabled, it should kickstart NUMA balancing through task_tick_numa(). However the following commit: 2a595721a1fa ("sched/numa: Convert sched_numa_balancing to a static_branch") erroneously disables this. Fix this anomaly by enabling task_tick_numa() when the static branch 'sched_numa_balancing' is enabled.

2015-10-06sched/core: More notrace annotationsPeter Zijlstra
preempt_schedule_common() is marked notrace, but it does not use _notrace() preempt_count functions and __schedule() is also not marked notrace, which means that its perfectly possible to end up in the tracer from preempt_schedule_common(). Steve says: | Yep, there's some history to this. This was originally the issue that | caused function tracing to go into infinite recursion. But now we have | preempt_schedule_notrace(), which is used by the function tracer, and | that function must not be traced till preemption is disabled. | | Now if function tracing is running and we take an interrupt when | NEED_RESCHED is set, it calls | | preempt_schedule_common() (not traced) | | But then that calls preempt_disable() (traced) | | function tracer calls preempt_disable_notrace() followed by | preempt_enable_notrace() which will see NEED_RESCHED set, and it will | call preempt_schedule_notrace(), which stops the recursion, but | still calls __schedule() here, and that means when we return, we call | the __schedule() from preempt_schedule_common(). | | That said, I prefer this patch. Preemption is disabled before calling | __schedule(), and we get rid of a one round recursion with the | scheduler.

2015-10-06sched/core: Robustify preemption leak checksPeter Zijlstra
When we warn about a preempt_count leak; reset the preempt_count to the known good value such that the problem does not ripple forward. This is most important on x86 which has a per cpu preempt_count that is not saved/restored (after this series). So if you schedule with an invalid (!2*PREEMPT_DISABLE_OFFSET) preempt_count the next task is messed up too. Enforcing this invariant limits the borkage to just the one task.
