The update.c file has a number of calls to BUG_ON(), which panics the
kernel, which is not a good strategy for devices (like embedded) that
don't have a way to capture console output. This commit therefore
converts these BUG_ON() calls to WARN_ON_ONCE() and WARN_ONCE().

Now that synchronize_rcu() waits for both RCU read-side critical
sections and preempt-disabled regions of code, the sole caller of
synchronize_rcu_mult() can be replaced by synchronize_rcu().
This patch makes this change and removes synchronize_rcu_mult().
Note that _wait_rcu_gp() still supports synchronize_rcu_mult(),
and thus might be simplified in the future to take only take
a single call_rcu() function rather than the current list of them.

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.

At the end of rcu_tasks_kthread() there's a lonely
schedule_timeout_uninterruptible() call with no apparent rationale for
its existence. But there is. It is to keep the thread from going into
a tight loop if there's some anomaly. That really needs a comment.

Joel Fernandes found that the synchronize_rcu_tasks() was taking a
significant amount of time. He demonstrated it with the following test:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# while [ 1 ]; do x=1; done &
# echo '__schedule_bug:traceon' > set_ftrace_filter
# time echo '!__schedule_bug:traceon' > set_ftrace_filter;
real 0m1.064s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.004s
Where it takes a little over a second to perform the synchronize,
because there's a loop that waits 1 second at a time for tasks to get
through their quiescent points when there's a task that must be waited
for.
After discussion we came up with a simple way to wait for holdouts but
increase the time for each iteration of the loop but no more than a
full second.
With the new patch we have:
# time echo '!__schedule_bug:traceon' > set_ftrace_filter;
real 0m0.131s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.004s
Which drops it down to 13% of what the original wait time was.

Commit e31d28b6ab ("trace: Eliminate cond_resched_rcu_qs() in favor
of cond_resched()") substituted cond_resched() for the earlier call
to cond_resched_rcu_qs(). However, the new-age cond_resched() does
not do anything to help RCU-tasks grace periods because (1) RCU-tasks
is only enabled when CONFIG_PREEMPT=y and (2) cond_resched() is a
complete no-op when preemption is enabled. This situation results
in hangs when running the trace benchmarks.
A number of potential fixes were discussed on LKML
(https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180224151240.0d63a059@vmware.local.home),
including making cond_resched() not be a no-op; making cond_resched()
not be a no-op, but only when running tracing benchmarks; reverting
the aforementioned commit (which works because cond_resched_rcu_qs()
does provide an RCU-tasks quiescent state; and adding a call to the
scheduler/RCU rcu_note_voluntary_context_switch() function. All were
deemed unsatisfactory, either due to added cond_resched() overhead or
due to magic functions inviting cargo culting.
This commit renames cond_resched_rcu_qs() to cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs(),
which provides a clear hint as to what this function is doing and
why and where it should be used, and then replaces the call to
cond_resched() with cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs() in the trace benchmark's
benchmark_event_kthread() function.

overcutting it right now. We can still merge some flags later if they
always make sense together.

Currently the call_rcu_tasks() kthread is created upon first
invocation of call_rcu_tasks(). This has the advantage of avoiding
creation if there are never any invocations of call_rcu_tasks() and of
synchronize_rcu_tasks(), but it requires an unreliable heuristic to
determine when it is safe to create the kthread. For example, it is
not safe to create the kthread when call_rcu_tasks() is invoked with
a spinlock held, but there is no good way to detect this in !PREEMPT
kernels.
This commit therefore creates this kthread unconditionally at
core_initcall() time. If you don't want this kthread created, then

Currently, doing synchronize_rcu_mult(call_rcu, call_rcu) might
(or might not) wait for two RCU grace periods. One approach is
of course "don't do that!", but in CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernels,
synchronize_rcu_mult(call_rcu, call_rcu_sched) does exactly that.
This results in an ugly #ifdef in sched_cpu_deactivate().

Currently, a call to schedule() acts as a Tasks RCU quiescent state
only if a context switch actually takes place. However, just the
call to schedule() guarantees that the calling task has moved off of
whatever tracing trampoline that it might have been one previously.
This commit therefore plumbs schedule()'s "preempt" parameter into
rcu_note_context_switch(), which then records the Tasks RCU quiescent
state, but only if this call to schedule() was -not- due to a preemption.
To avoid adding overhead to the common-case context-switch path,
this commit hides the rcu_note_context_switch() check under an existing
non-common-case check.

So rcupdate.h is a pretty complex header, in particular it includes

dependency that includes <linux/wait.h> in <linux/sched.h>,
which prevents the isolation of <linux/sched.h> from the derived
<linux/wait.h> header.
Solve part of the problem by decoupling rcupdate.h from completions:
this can be done by separating out the rcu_synchronize types and APIs,
and updating their usage sites.
Since this is a mostly RCU-internal types this will not just simplify
<linux/sched.h>'s dependencies, but will make all the hundreds of
.c files that include rcupdate.h but not completions or wait.h build
faster.
( For rcutiny this means that two dependent APIs have to be uninlined,
but that shouldn't be much of a problem as they are rare variants. )

The current preemptible RCU implementation goes through three phases
during bootup. In the first phase, there is only one CPU that is running
with preemption disabled, so that a no-op is a synchronous grace period.
In the second mid-boot phase, the scheduler is running, but RCU has
not yet gotten its kthreads spawned (and, for expedited grace periods,
workqueues are not yet running. During this time, any attempt to do
a synchronous grace period will hang the system (or complain bitterly,
depending). In the third and final phase, RCU is fully operational and
everything works normally.
This has been OK for some time, but there has recently been some
synchronous grace periods showing up during the second mid-boot phase.
This code worked "by accident" for awhile, but started failing as soon
as expedited RCU grace periods switched over to workqueues in commit
8b355e3bc1 ("rcu: Drive expedited grace periods from workqueue").
Note that the code was buggy even before this commit, as it was subject
to failure on real-time systems that forced all expedited grace periods
to run as normal grace periods (for example, using the rcu_normal ksysfs
parameter). The callchain from the failure case is as follows:
early_amd_iommu_init()
|-> acpi_put_table(ivrs_base);
|-> acpi_tb_put_table(table_desc);
|-> acpi_tb_invalidate_table(table_desc);
|-> acpi_tb_release_table(...)
|-> acpi_os_unmap_memory
|-> acpi_os_unmap_iomem
|-> acpi_os_map_cleanup
|-> synchronize_rcu_expedited
The kernel showing this callchain was built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y,
which caused the code to try using workqueues before they were
initialized, which did not go well.
This commit therefore reworks RCU to permit synchronous grace periods
to proceed during this mid-boot phase. This commit is therefore a
fix to a regression introduced in v4.9, and is therefore being put
forward post-merge-window in v4.10.
This commit sets a flag from the existing rcu_scheduler_starting()
function which causes all synchronous grace periods to take the expedited
path. The expedited path now checks this flag, using the requesting task
to drive the expedited grace period forward during the mid-boot phase.
Finally, this flag is updated by a core_initcall() function named
rcu_exp_runtime_mode(), which causes the runtime codepaths to be used.
Note that this arrangement assumes that tasks are not sent POSIX signals
(or anything similar) from the time that the first task is spawned
through core_initcall() time.

When activating a static object we need make sure that the object is
tracked in the object tracker. If it is a non-static object then the
activation is illegal.
In previous implementation, each subsystem need take care of this in
their fixup callbacks. Actually we can put it into debugobjects core.
Thus we can save duplicated code, and have *pure* fixup callbacks.
To achieve this, a new callback "is_static_object" is introduced to let
the type specific code decide whether a object is static or not. If
yes, we take it into object tracker, otherwise give warning and invoke
fixup callback.
This change has paassed debugobjects selftest, and I also do some test
with all debugobjects supports enabled.
At last, I have a concern about the fixups that can it change the object
which is in incorrect state on fixup? Because the 'addr' may not point
to any valid object if a non-static object is not tracked. Then Change
such object can overwrite someone's memory and cause unexpected
behaviour. For example, the timer_fixup_activate bind timer to function
stub_timer.

Currently, we have four versions of rcu_read_lock_sched_held(), depending
on the combined choices on PREEMPT_COUNT and DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC. However,
there is an existing function preemptible() that already distinguishes
between the PREEMPT_COUNT=y and PREEMPT_COUNT=n cases, and allows these
four implementations to be consolidated down to two.
This commit therefore uses preemptible() to achieve this consolidation.
Note that there could be a small performance regression in the case
of CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y && PREEMPT_COUNT=n. However, given the
overhead associated with CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y, this should be
down in the noise.

This commit exports rcu_gp_is_normal() in order to allow it to be used

The rcu_expedited, rcu_normal, and rcu_normal_after_boot kernel boot
parameters are pointless in the case of TINY_RCU because in that case
synchronous grace periods, both expedited and normal, are no-ops.
However, these three symbols contribute several hundred bytes of bloat.
This commit therefore uses CPP directives to avoid compiling this code
in TINY_RCU kernels.

Expedited grace periods can speed up boot, but are undesirable in
aggressive real-time systems. This commit therefore introduces a
kernel parameter rcupdate.rcu_normal_after_boot that disables
expedited grace periods just before init is spawned.

Although expedited grace periods can be quite useful, and although their
OS jitter has been greatly reduced, they can still pose problems for
extreme real-time workloads. This commit therefore adds a rcu_normal
kernel boot parameter (which can also be manipulated via sysfs)
to suppress expedited grace periods, that is, to treat requests for
expedited grace periods as if they were requests for normal grace periods.
If both rcu_expedited and rcu_normal are specified, rcu_normal wins.
This means that if you are relying on expedited grace periods to speed up
boot, you will want to specify rcu_expedited on the kernel command line,
and then specify rcu_normal via sysfs once boot completes.

As we now have rcu_callback_t typedefs as the type of rcu callbacks, we
should use it in call_rcu*() and friends as the type of parameters. This
could save us a few lines of code and make it clear which function
requires an rcu callbacks rather than other callbacks as its argument.
Besides, this can also help cscope to generate a better database for
code reading.

This commit renames rcu_lockdep_assert() to RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() for
consistency with the WARN() series of macros. This also requires

There have been several requests for a primitive that waits for
grace periods for several RCU flavors concurrently, so this
commit creates it. This is a variadic macro, and you pass in
the call_rcu() functions of the flavors of RCU that you wish to
wait for.
Note that you cannot pass in call_srcu() for two reasons: (1) This
would result in a type mismatch and (2) You need to specify which
srcu_struct you want to use. Handle this by creating a wrapper
function for your SRCU domain, for example:
void call_srcu_mine(struct rcu_head *head, rcu_callback_t func)
{
call_srcu(&ss_mine, head, func);
}
You can then do something like this:
synchronize_rcu_mult(call_srcu_mine, call_rcu, call_rcu_sched);

DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y is not a production setting, but it is
not very unusual either. Many developers routinely
use kernels built with it enabled.
Apart from being selected by hand, it is also auto-selected by
PROVE_LOCKING "Lock debugging: prove locking correctness" and
LOCK_STAT "Lock usage statistics" config options.
LOCK STAT is necessary for "perf lock" to work.
I wouldn't spend too much time optimizing it, but this particular
function has a very large cost in code size: when it is deinlined,
code size decreases by 830,000 bytes:
text data bss dec hex filename

[ paulmck: Updated to include kernel/torture.c as suggested by Jason Low. ]
This commit adds a CONFIG_RCU_EXPEDITE_BOOT Kconfig parameter
that emulates a very early boot rcu_expedite_gp(). A late-boot
call to rcu_end_inkernel_boot() will provide the corresponding
rcu_unexpedite_gp(). The late-boot call to rcu_end_inkernel_boot()
should be made just before init is spawned.
According to Arjan:
