2019-05-28rcutorture: Add trivial RCU implementationPaul E. McKenney
I have been showing off a trivial RCU implementation for non-preemptive environments for some time now: #define rcu_read_lock() #define rcu_read_unlock() #define rcu_dereference(p) READ_ONCE(p) #define rcu_assign_pointer(p, v) smp_store_release(&(p), (v)) void synchronize_rcu(void) { int cpu; for_each_online_cpu(cpu) sched_setaffinity(current->pid, cpumask_of(cpu)); } Trivial or not, as the old saying goes, "if it ain't tested, it don't work!". This commit therefore adds a "trivial" flavor to rcutorture and a corresponding TRIVIAL test scenario. This variant does not handle CPU hotplug, which is unconditionally enabled on x86 for post-v5.1-rc3 kernels, which is why the TRIVIAL.boot says "rcutorture.onoff_interval=0". This commit actually does handle CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels, but only because it turns back the Linux-kernel clock in order to provide these alternative definitions (or the moral equivalent thereof): #define rcu_read_lock() preempt_disable() #define rcu_read_unlock() preempt_enable() In CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernels without debugging, these are equivalent to empty macros give or take a compiler barrier.

2019-03-26rcu: Move RCU CPU stall-warning code out of update.cPaul E. McKenney
The RCU CPU stall-warning code for normal grace periods is currently scattered across three files, due to earlier Tiny RCU support for RCU CPU stall warnings and for old Kconfig options that have long since been retired. Given that it is hard for the lead RCU maintainer to find relevant stall-warning code, it would be good to consolidate it. This commit starts this process by moving stall-warning code from kernel/rcu/update.c to a new kernel/rcu/tree_stall.h file. Note that the definitions of rcu_cpu_stall_suppress and rcu_cpu_stall_timeout must remain in kernel/rcu/update.h to provide compatibility for kernel boot parameter lists. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2018-08-30srcu: Make call_srcu() available during very early bootPaul E. McKenney
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.

2018-08-30rcu: Provide functions for determining if call_rcu() has been invokedPaul E. McKenney
This commit adds rcu_head_init() and rcu_head_after_call_rcu() functions to help RCU users detect when another CPU has passed the specified rcu_head structure and function to call_rcu(). The rcu_head_init() should be invoked before making the structure visible to RCU readers, and then the rcu_head_after_call_rcu() may be invoked from within an RCU read-side critical section on an rcu_head structure that was obtained during a traversal of the data structure in question. The rcu_head_after_call_rcu() function will return true if the rcu_head structure has already been passed (with the specified function) to call_rcu(), otherwise it will return false. If rcu_head_init() has not been invoked on the rcu_head structure or if the rcu_head (AKA callback) has already been invoked, then rcu_head_after_call_rcu() will do WARN_ON_ONCE().

2018-07-12rcutorture: Add support to detect if boost kthread prio is too lowJoel Fernandes (Google)
When rcutorture is built in to the kernel, an earlier patch detects that and raises the priority of RCU's kthreads to allow rcutorture's RCU priority boosting tests to succeed. However, if rcutorture is built as a module, those priorities must be raised manually via the rcutree.kthread_prio kernel boot parameter. If this manual step is not taken, rcutorture's RCU priority boosting tests will fail due to kthread starvation. One approach would be to raise the default priority, but that risks breaking existing users. Another approach would be to allow runtime adjustment of RCU's kthread priorities, but that introduces numerous "interesting" race conditions. This patch therefore instead detects too-low priorities, and prints a message and disables the RCU priority boosting tests in that case.

2018-07-12rcu: Remove rcutorture test version and sequence numberPaul E. McKenney
Back when RCU had a debugfs interface, there was a test version and sequence number that allowed associating debugfs data with a particular test run, where the test run started with modprobe and ended with rmmod, which was how tests were run back on the old ABAT system within IBM. But rcutorture testing no longer runs on ABAT, and there is no longer an RCU debugfs interface, so there is no longer any need for test versions and sequence numbers. This commit therefore removes the rcutorture_record_test_transition() and rcutorture_record_progress() functions, and along with them the rcutorture_testseq and rcutorture_vernum variables that they update.

2018-07-12rcu: Make rcu_start_this_gp() check for grace period already startedPaul E. McKenney
In the old days of ->gpnum and ->completed, the code requesting a new grace period checked to see if that grace period had already started, bailing early if so. The new-age ->gp_seq approach instead checks whether the grace period has already finished. A compensating change pushed the requested grace period down to the bottom of the tree, thus reducing lock contention and even eliminating it in some cases. But why not further reduce contention, especially on large systems, by doing both, especially given that the cost of doing both is extremely small? This commit therefore adds a new rcu_seq_started() function that checks whether a specified grace period has already started. It then uses this new function in place of rcu_seq_done() in the rcu_start_this_gp() function's funnel locking code. Reported-by: Joel Fernandes <joel@joelfernandes.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2018-02-23rcu: Create RCU-specific workqueues with rescuersPaul E. McKenney
RCU's expedited grace periods can participate in out-of-memory deadlocks due to all available system_wq kthreads being blocked and there not being memory available to create more. This commit prevents such deadlocks by allocating an RCU-specific workqueue_struct at early boot time, and providing it with a rescuer to ensure forward progress. This uses the shiny new init_rescuer() function provided by Tejun (but indirectly). This commit also causes SRCU to use this new RCU-specific workqueue_struct. Note that SRCU's use of workqueues never blocks them waiting for readers, so this should be safe from a forward-progress viewpoint. Note that this moves SRCU from system_power_efficient_wq to a normal workqueue. In the unlikely event that this results in measurable degradation, a separate power-efficient workqueue will be creates for SRCU.

2018-02-20rcu: Make expedited RCU CPU selection avoid unnecessary storesPaul E. McKenney
This commit reworks the first loop in sync_rcu_exp_select_cpus() to avoid doing unnecssary stores to other CPUs' rcu_data structures. This speeds up that first loop by roughly a factor of two on an old x86 system. In the case where the system is mostly idle, this loop incurs a large fraction of the overhead of the synchronize_rcu_expedited(). There is less benefit on busy systems because the overhead of the smp_call_function_single() in the second loop dominates in that case. However, it is not unusual to do configuration chances involving RCU grace periods (both expedited and normal) while the system is mostly idle, so this optimization is worth doing. While we are in the area, this commit also adds parentheses to arguments used by the for_each_leaf_node_possible_cpu() macro. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

2017-10-09rcu: Turn off tracing before dumping tracePaul E. McKenney
Currently, RCU allows tracing to continue when it automatically does ftrace_dump() after detecting an error condition, which can result in excessively large traces and lost trace events. This commit therefore does a tracing_off() before any of these ftrace_dump() calls. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2017-08-17rcu: Move rcu.h to new trivial-function stylePaul E. McKenney
This commit saves a few lines in kernel/rcu/rcu.h by moving to single-line definitions for trivial functions, instead of the old style where the two curly braces each get their own line. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2017-06-08rcu: Eliminate NOCBs CPU-state Kconfig optionsPaul E. McKenney
The CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL, CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_NONE, and CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ZERO Kconfig options are used only in testing and are redundant with the rcu_nocbs= boot parameter. This commit therefore removes these three Kconfig options and adjusts the rcutorture scripts to use the boot parameter instead. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2017-06-08srcu: Remove Classic SRCUPaul E. McKenney
Classic SRCU was only ever intended to be a fallback in case of issues with Tree/Tiny SRCU, and the latter two are doing quite well in testing. This commit therefore removes Classic SRCU. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2017-06-08srcu: Fix rcutorture-statistics typoPaul E. McKenney
The function srcutorture_get_gp_data() duplicated the check for sp->batch_check0.head instead of also checking sp->batch_check1.head. The only effect of this typo would be for rcutorture statistics to understate the fraction of time that an SRCU grace period was in flight, and only for Classic SRCU. This commit fixes this typo.

2017-06-08rcu: Remove typecheck() from RCU locking wrapper functionsPaul E. McKenney
Because raw_spin_lock_irqsave() and raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore() both do typecheck() on their flags argument, there is no point in duplicating this check in raw_spin_lock_irqsave_rcu_node() and raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore_rcu_node(). This commit therefore saves a few lines by removing this duplicated check. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2017-06-08rcu: Move rnp->lock wrappers for SRCU usePaul E. McKenney
This commit moves the now-generic rnp->lock wrapper macros from kernel/rcu/tree.h to kernel/rcu/rcu.h, thus allowing SRCU to use them. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
