The comment in srcu_readers_active_idx_check() following the smp_mb()
is out of date, hailing from a simpler time when preemption was disabled
across the bulk of __srcu_read_lock(). The fact that preemption was
disabled meant that the number of tasks that had fetched the old index
but not yet incremented counters was limited by the number of CPUs.
In our more complex modern times, the number of CPUs is no longer a limit.
This commit therefore updates this comment, additionally giving more
memory-ordering detail.

The srcu_gp_start_if_needed() function now read-holds the srcu_struct
whose grace period is being started, which means that the corresponding
SRCU grace period cannot end. This in turn means that the SRCU
grace-period sequence number returned by rcu_seq_snap() cannot expire
during this time. And that means that the calls to rcu_seq_done() in
srcu_funnel_exp_start() and srcu_funnel_gp_start() can never return true.
This commit therefore removes these rcu_seq_done() checks, but adds checks
in kernels built with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y that splats if rcu_seq_done()
does somehow return true.

A grace-period sequence number contains two fields: counter and
state. SRCU_SNP_INIT_SEQ provides a guaranteed invalid value for
grace-period sequence numbers in newly allocated srcu_node structures'
->srcu_have_cbs[] and ->srcu_gp_seq_needed_exp fields. The point of the
comparison in srcu_invl_snp_seq() is not to detect invalid grace-period
sequence numbers in general, but rather to detect a newly allocated
srcu_node structure whose ->srcu_have_cbs[] and ->srcu_gp_seq_needed_exp
fields need to be brought into line with the srcu_struct structure's
->srcu_gp_seq field.
This commit therefore causes srcu_invl_snp_seq() to compare both fields
of the specified grace-period sequence number.

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.

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.

The purpose of commit 282d8998e9 ("srcu: Prevent expedited GPs
and blocking readers from consuming CPU") was to prevent a long
series of never-blocking expedited SRCU grace periods from blocking
kernel-live-patching (KLP) progress. Although it was successful, it also
resulted in excessive boot times on certain embedded workloads running
under qemu with the "-bios QEMU_EFI.fd" command line. Here "excessive"
means increasing the boot time up into the three-to-four minute range.
This increase in boot time was due to the more than 6000 back-to-back
invocations of synchronize_rcu_expedited() within the KVM host OS, which
in turn resulted from qemu's emulation of a long series of MMIO accesses.
Commit 640a7d37c3f4 ("srcu: Block less aggressively for expedited grace
periods") did not significantly help this particular use case.
Zhangfei Gao and Shameerali Kolothum Thodi did experiments varying the
value of SRCU_MAX_NODELAY_PHASE with HZ=250 and with various values
of non-sleeping per phase counts on a system with preemption enabled,
and observed the following boot times:
+──────────────────────────+────────────────+
| SRCU_MAX_NODELAY_PHASE | Boot time (s) |
+──────────────────────────+────────────────+
| 100 | 30.053 |
| 150 | 25.151 |
| 200 | 20.704 |
| 250 | 15.748 |
| 500 | 11.401 |
| 1000 | 11.443 |
| 10000 | 11.258 |
| 1000000 | 11.154 |
+──────────────────────────+────────────────+
Analysis on the experiment results show additional improvements with
CPU-bound delays approaching one jiffy in duration. This improvement was
also seen when number of per-phase iterations were scaled to one jiffy.
This commit therefore scales per-grace-period phase number of non-sleeping
polls so that non-sleeping polls extend for about one jiffy. In addition,
the delay-calculation call to srcu_get_delay() in srcu_gp_end() is
replaced with a simple check for an expedited grace period. This change
schedules callback invocation immediately after expedited grace periods
complete, which results in greatly improved boot times. Testing done
by Marc and Zhangfei confirms that this change recovers most of the
performance degradation in boottime; for CONFIG_HZ_250 configuration,
specifically, boot times improve from 3m50s to 41s on Marc's setup;
and from 2m40s to ~9.7s on Zhangfei's setup.
In addition to the changes to default per phase delays, this
change adds 3 new kernel parameters - srcutree.srcu_max_nodelay,
srcutree.srcu_max_nodelay_phase, and srcutree.srcu_retry_check_delay.
This allows users to configure the srcu grace period scanning delays in
order to more quickly react to additional use cases.

Commit 282d8998e9 ("srcu: Prevent expedited GPs and blocking readers
from consuming CPU") fixed a problem where a long-running expedited SRCU
grace period could block kernel live patching. It did so by giving up
on expediting once a given SRCU expedited grace period grew too old.
Unfortunately, this added excessive delays to boots of virtual embedded
systems specifying "-bios QEMU_EFI.fd" to qemu. This commit therefore
makes the transition away from expediting less aggressive, increasing
the per-grace-period phase number of non-sleeping polls of readers from
one to three and increasing the required grace-period age from one jiffy
(actually from zero to one jiffies) to two jiffies (actually from one
to two jiffies).

If an SRCU reader blocks while a synchronize_srcu_expedited() waits for
that same reader, then that grace period will spawn an endless series of
workqueue handlers, consuming a full CPU. This quickly gets pointless
because consuming more CPU isn't going to make that reader get done
faster, especially if it is blocked waiting for an external event.
This commit therefore spawns at most one pair of back-to-back workqueue
handlers per expedited grace period phase, instead inserting increasing
delays as that grace period phase grows older, but capped at 10 jiffies.
In any case, if there have been at least 100 back-to-back workqueue
handlers within a single jiffy, regardless of grace period or grace-period
phase, then a one-jiffy delay is inserted.

This commit instruments the acquisitions of the srcu_struct structure's
->lock, enabling the initiation of a transition from SRCU_SIZE_SMALL
to SRCU_SIZE_BIG when sufficient contention is experienced. The
instrumentation counts the number of trylock failures within the confines
of a single jiffy. If that number exceeds the value specified by the
srcutree.small_contention_lim kernel boot parameter (which defaults to
100), and if the value specified by the srcutree.convert_to_big kernel
boot parameter has the 0x10 bit set (defaults to 0), then a transition
will be automatically initiated.
By default, there will never be any transitions, so that none of the
srcu_struct structures ever gains an srcu_node array.
The useful values for srcutree.convert_to_big are:
0x00: Never convert.
0x01: Always convert at init_srcu_struct() time.
0x02: Convert when rcutorture prints its first round of statistics.
0x03: Decide conversion approach at boot given system size.
0x10: Convert if contention is encountered.
0x12: Convert if contention is encountered or when rcutorture prints
its first round of statistics, whichever comes first.
The value 0x11 acts the same as 0x01 because the conversion happens
before there is any chance of contention.

For configurations where snp node tree is not initialized at
init time (added in subsequent commits), srcu_funnel_gp_start()
and srcu_funnel_exp_start() can potential traverse and observe
the snp nodes' transient (uninitialized) states. This can potentially
happen, when init_srcu_struct_nodes() initialization of sdp->mynode
races with srcu_funnel_gp_start() and srcu_funnel_exp_start()
Consider the case below where srcu_funnel_gp_start() observes
sdp->mynode to be not NULL and uses an uninitialized sdp->grpmask
P1 P2
init_srcu_struct_nodes() void srcu_funnel_gp_start(...)
{
for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) {
...
sdp->mynode = &snp_first[...];
for (snp = sdp->mynode;...) struct srcu_node *snp_leaf =
smp_load_acquire(&sdp->mynode)
... if (snp_leaf) {
for (snp = snp_leaf; ...)
...
if (snp == snp_leaf)
snp->srcu_data_have_cbs[idx] |=
sdp->grpmask;
sdp->grpmask =
1 << (cpu - sdp->mynode->grplo);
}
}
Similarly, init_srcu_struct_nodes() and srcu_funnel_exp_start() can
race, where srcu_funnel_exp_start() could observe state of snp lock
before spin_lock_init().
P1 P2
init_srcu_struct_nodes() void srcu_funnel_exp_start(...)
{
srcu_for_each_node_breadth_first(ssp, snp) { for (; ...) {
spin_lock_...(snp, )
spin_lock_init(&ACCESS_PRIVATE(snp, lock));
...
}
for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) {
...
sdp->mynode = &snp_first[...];
To avoid these issues, ensure that snp node tree initialization is
complete i.e. after SRCU_SIZE_WAIT_BARRIER srcu_size_state is reached,
before traversing the tree. Given that srcu_funnel_gp_start() and
srcu_funnel_exp_start() are called within SRCU read side critical
sections, this check is safe, in the sense that all callbacks are
enqueued on CPU0 srcu_cblist until SRCU_SIZE_WAIT_CALL is entered,
and these read side critical sections (containing srcu_funnel_gp_start()
and srcu_funnel_exp_start()) need to complete, before SRCU_SIZE_WAIT_CALL
is reached.

Currently, tree SRCU relies on the srcu_node structures being initialized
at the same time that the srcu_struct itself is initialized, and thus
use the initial grace-period sequence number as the initial value for
the srcu_node structure's ->srcu_have_cbs[] and ->srcu_gp_seq_needed_exp
fields. Although this has a high probability of also working when the
srcu_node array is allocated and initialized at some random later time,
it would be better to avoid leaving such things to chance.
This commit therefore initializes these fields with 0x2, which is a
recognizable invalid value. It then adds the required checks for this
invalid value in order to avoid confusion on long-running kernels

Because srcu_barrier() must be aware of transition before call_srcu(), the

Note that when there is no snp_node array, all SRCU callbacks use
CPU 0's callback queue. This is optimal in the common case of low
update-side load because it removes the need to search each CPU
for the single callback that made the grace period happen.

Currently, cleanup_srcu_struct() checks for a grace period in progress,
but it does not check for a grace period that has not yet started but
which might start at any time. Such a situation could result in a
use-after-free bug, so this commit adds a check for a grace period that
is needed but not yet started to cleanup_srcu_struct().

An srcu_struct structure that is initialized before rcu_init_geometry()
will have its srcu_node hierarchy based on CONFIG_NR_CPUS. Once
rcu_init_geometry() is called, this hierarchy is compressed as needed
for the actual maximum number of CPUs for this system.
Later on, that srcu_struct structure is confused, sometimes referring
to its initial CONFIG_NR_CPUS-based hierarchy, and sometimes instead
to the new num_possible_cpus() hierarchy. For example, each of its
->mynode fields continues to reference the original leaf rcu_node
structures, some of which might no longer exist. On the other hand,
srcu_for_each_node_breadth_first() traverses to the new node hierarchy.
There are at least two bad possible outcomes to this:
1) a) A callback enqueued early on an srcu_data structure (call it
*sdp) is recorded pending on sdp->mynode->srcu_data_have_cbs in
srcu_funnel_gp_start() with sdp->mynode pointing to a deep leaf
(say 3 levels).
b) The grace period ends after rcu_init_geometry() shrinks the
nodes level to a single one. srcu_gp_end() walks through the new
srcu_node hierarchy without ever reaching the old leaves so the
callback is never executed.
This is easily reproduced on an 8 CPUs machine with CONFIG_NR_CPUS >= 32
and "rcupdate.rcu_self_test=1". The srcu_barrier() after early tests
verification never completes and the boot hangs:

2) An srcu_struct structure that is initialized before rcu_init_geometry()
and used afterward will always have stale rdp->mynode references,
resulting in callbacks to be missed in srcu_gp_end(), just like in
the previous scenario.
This commit therefore causes init_srcu_struct_nodes to initialize the
geometry, if needed. This ensures that the srcu_node hierarchy is
properly built and distributed from the get-go.

Once srcu_init() is called, the SRCU core will make use of delayed
workqueues, which rely on timers. However init_timers() is called
several steps after rcu_init(). This means that a call_srcu() after
rcu_init() but before init_timers() would find itself within a dangerously
uninitialized timer core.
This commit therefore creates a separate call to srcu_init() after
init_timer() completes, which ensures that we stay in early SRCU mode
until timers are safe(r).

Pre-srcu_init() invocations of call_srcu() initialize the srcu_struct
structure in question, so there is no need to check this initialization
in srcu_init() when initiating grace periods for srcu_struct structures
that had early call_srcu() invocations. This commit therefore drops
the calls to check_init_srcu_struct() in srcu_init().

Because alloc_percpu() zeroes out the allocated memory, there is no need
to zero-fill newly allocated per-CPU memory. This commit therefore removes
the loop zeroing the ->srcu_lock_count and ->srcu_unlock_count arrays
from init_srcu_struct_nodes(). This is the only use of that function's
is_static parameter, which this commit also removes.

Add counting of segment lengths of segmented callback list.
This will be useful for a number of things such as knowing how big the
ready-to-execute segment have gotten. The immediate benefit is ability
to trace how the callbacks in the segmented callback list change.
Also this patch remove hacks related to using donecbs's ->len field as a
temporary variable to save the segmented callback list's length. This cannot be
done anymore and is not needed.
Also fix SRCU:
The negative counting of the unsegmented list cannot be used to adjust
the segmented one. To fix this, sample the unsegmented length in
advance, and use it after CB execution to adjust the segmented list's
length.

There is a need for a polling interface for SRCU grace
periods, so this commit supplies get_state_synchronize_srcu(),
start_poll_synchronize_srcu(), and poll_state_synchronize_srcu() for this
purpose. The first can be used if future grace periods are inevitable
(perhaps due to a later call_srcu() invocation), the second if future
grace periods might not otherwise happen, and the third to check if a
grace period has elapsed since the corresponding call to either of the
first two.
As with get_state_synchronize_rcu() and cond_synchronize_rcu(),
the return value from either get_state_synchronize_srcu() or
start_poll_synchronize_srcu() must be passed in to a later call to
poll_state_synchronize_srcu().

There is a need for a polling interface for SRCU grace periods.
This polling needs to initiate an SRCU grace period without having
to queue (and manage) a callback. This commit therefore splits the
Tree SRCU __call_srcu() function into callback-initialization and
queuing/start-grace-period portions, with the latter in a new function
named srcu_gp_start_if_needed(). This function may be passed a NULL
callback pointer, in which case it will refrain from queuing anything.
Why have the new function mess with queuing? Locking considerations,
of course!

It turns out that init_srcu_struct() can be invoked from usermode tasks,
and that fatal signals received by these tasks can cause memory-allocation
failures. These failures are not handled well by init_srcu_struct(),
so much so that NULL pointer dereferences can result. This commit
therefore causes init_srcu_struct() to take an early exit upon detection
of memory-allocation failure.

The lockdep_is_held() macro is defined as:
#define lockdep_is_held(lock) lock_is_held(&(lock)->dep_map)
This hides away the dereference, so that builds with !LOCKDEP don't break.
This works in current kernels because the RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() eliminates
its condition at preprocessor time in !LOCKDEP kernels. However, later
patches in this series will cause the compiler to see this condition even
in !LOCKDEP kernels. This commit prepares for this upcoming change by
switching from lock_is_held() to lockdep_is_held().

SRCU disables interrupts to get a stable per-CPU pointer and then
acquires the spinlock which is in the per-CPU data structure. The
release uses spin_unlock_irqrestore(). While this is correct on a non-RT
kernel, this conflicts with the RT semantics because the spinlock is
converted to a 'sleeping' spinlock. Sleeping locks can obviously not be
acquired with interrupts disabled.
Acquire the per-CPU pointer `ssp->sda' without disabling preemption and
then acquire the spinlock_t of the per-CPU data structure. The lock will
ensure that the data is consistent.
The added call to check_init_srcu_struct() is now needed because a
statically defined srcu_struct may remain uninitialized until this
point and the newly introduced locking operation requires an initialized
spinlock_t.
This change was tested for four hours with 8*SRCU-N and 8*SRCU-P without
causing any warnings.
