Paul E. McKenney 253cbbff62 rcu: Throttle callback invocation based on number of ready callbacks
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.

Frederic Weisbecker fbb94cbd70 rcu/nocb: Invoke rcu_core() at the start of deoffloading
On PREEMPT_RT, if rcu_core() is preempted by the de-offloading process,
some work, such as callbacks acceleration and invocation, may be left
unattended due to the volatile checks on the offloaded state.

In the worst case this work is postponed until the next rcu_pending()
check that can take a jiffy to reach, which can be a problem in case
of callbacks flooding.

Solve that with invoking rcu_core() early in the de-offloading process.
This way any work dismissed by an ongoing rcu_core() call fooled by
a preempting deoffloading process will be caught up by a nearby future
recall to rcu_core(), this time fully aware of the de-offloading state.

Frederic Weisbecker 213d56bf33 rcu/nocb: Prepare state machine for a new step
Currently SEGCBLIST_SOFTIRQ_ONLY is a bit of an exception among the
segcblist flags because it is an exclusive state that doesn't mix up
with the other flags. Remove it in favour of:

_ A flag specifying that rcu_core() needs to perform callbacks execution
  and acceleration

and

_ A flag specifying we want the nocb lock to be held in any needed
  circumstances

This clarifies the code and is more flexible: It allows to have a state
where rcu_core() runs with locking while offloading hasn't started yet.
This is a necessary step to prepare for triggering rcu_core() at the
very beginning of the de-offloading process so that rcu_core() won't
dismiss work while being preempted by the de-offloading process, at
least not without a pending subsequent rcu_core() that will quickly
catch up.

Frederic Weisbecker d97b078182 rcu/nocb: De-offloading CB kthread
To de-offload callback processing back onto a CPU, it is necessary to
clear SEGCBLIST_OFFLOAD and notify the nocb CB kthread, which will then
clear its own bit flag and go to sleep to stop handling callbacks.  This
commit makes that change.  It will also be necessary to notify the nocb
GP kthread in this same way, which is the subject of a follow-on commit.

Frederic Weisbecker 8d346d438f rcu/nocb: Provide basic callback offloading state machine bits
Offloading and de-offloading RCU callback processes must be done
carefully.  There must never be a time at which callback processing is
disabled because the task driving the offloading or de-offloading might be
preempted or otherwise stalled at that point in time, which would result
in OOM due to calbacks piling up indefinitely.  This implies that there
will be times during which a given CPU's callbacks might be concurrently
invoked by both that CPU's RCU_SOFTIRQ handler (or, equivalently, that
CPU's rcuc kthread) and by that CPU's rcuo kthread.

This situation could fatally confuse both rcu_barrier() and the
CPU-hotplug offlining process, so these must be excluded during any
concurrent-callback-invocation period.  In addition, during times of
concurrent callback invocation, changes to ->cblist must be protected
both as needed for RCU_SOFTIRQ and as needed for the rcuo kthread.

This commit therefore defines and documents the states for a state
machine that coordinates offloading and deoffloading.

Joel Fernandes (Google) ae5c2341ed rcu/segcblist: Add counters to segcblist datastructure
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.

Joel Fernandes (Google) 6bc3358280 rcu/tree: Make rcu_do_batch count how many callbacks were executed
The rcu_do_batch() function extracts the ready-to-invoke callbacks
from the rcu_segcblist located in the ->cblist field of the current
CPU's rcu_data structure.  These callbacks are first moved to a local
(unsegmented) rcu_cblist.  The rcu_do_batch() function then uses this
rcu_cblist's ->len field to count how many CBs it has invoked, but it
does so by counting that field down from zero.  Finally, this function
negates the value in this ->len field (resulting in a positive number)
and subtracts the result from the ->len field of the current CPU's
->cblist field.

Except that it is sometimes necessary for rcu_do_batch() to stop invoking
callbacks mid-stream, despite there being more ready to invoke, for
example, if a high-priority task wakes up.  In this case the remaining
not-yet-invoked callbacks are requeued back onto the CPU's ->cblist,
but remain in the ready-to-invoke segment of that list.  As above, the
negative of the local rcu_cblist's ->len field is still subtracted from
the ->len field of the current CPU's ->cblist field.

The design of counting down from 0 is confusing and error-prone, plus
use of a positive count will make it easier to provide a uniform and
consistent API to deal with the per-segment counts that are added
later in this series.  For example, rcu_segcblist_extract_done_cbs()
can unconditionally populate the resulting unsegmented list's ->len
field during extraction.

This commit therefore explicitly counts how many callbacks were executed
in rcu_do_batch() itself, counting up from zero, and then uses that
to update the per-CPU segcb list's ->len field, without relying on the
downcounting of rcl->len from zero.

Joel Fernandes (Google) 53922270d2 rcu/segcblist: Prevent useless GP start if no CBs to accelerate
The rcu_segcblist_accelerate() function returns true iff it is necessary
to request another grace period.  A tracing session showed that this
function unnecessarily requests grace periods.

For example, consider the following sequence of events:
1. Callbacks are queued only on the NEXT segment of CPU A's callback list.
2. CPU A runs RCU_SOFTIRQ, accelerating these callbacks from NEXT to WAIT.
3. Thus rcu_segcblist_accelerate() returns true, requesting grace period N.
4. RCU's grace-period kthread wakes up on CPU B and starts grace period N.
4. CPU A notices the new grace period and invokes RCU_SOFTIRQ.
5. CPU A's RCU_SOFTIRQ again invokes rcu_segcblist_accelerate(), but
   there are no new callbacks.  However, rcu_segcblist_accelerate()
   nevertheless (uselessly) requests a new grace period N+1.

This extra grace period results in additional lock contention and also
additional wakeups, all for no good reason.

This commit therefore adds a check to rcu_segcblist_accelerate() that
prevents the return of true when there are no new callbacks.

This change reduces the number of grace periods (GPs) and wakeups in each
of eleven five-second rcutorture runs as follows:

+----+-------------------+-------------------+
| #  | Number of GPs     | Number of Wakeups |
+====+=========+=========+=========+=========+

| 11 |      52 |      82 |      83 |     117 |
+----+---------+---------+---------+---------+

The reduction in the number of wakeups ranges from 5% to 40%.

Paul E. McKenney d1b222c6be rcu/nocb: Add bypass callback queueing
Use of the rcu_data structure's segmented ->cblist for no-CBs CPUs
takes advantage of unrelated grace periods, thus reducing the memory
footprint in the face of floods of call_rcu() invocations.  However,
the ->cblist field is a more-complex rcu_segcblist structure which must
be protected via locking.  Even though there are only three entities
which can acquire this lock (the CPU invoking call_rcu(), the no-CBs
grace-period kthread, and the no-CBs callbacks kthread), the contention
on this lock is excessive under heavy stress.

This commit therefore greatly reduces contention by provisioning
an rcu_cblist structure field named ->nocb_bypass within the
rcu_data structure.  Each no-CBs CPU is permitted only a limited
number of enqueues onto the ->cblist per jiffy, controlled by a new
nocb_nobypass_lim_per_jiffy kernel boot parameter that defaults to
about 16 enqueues per millisecond (16 * 1000 / HZ).  When that limit is
exceeded, the CPU instead enqueues onto the new ->nocb_bypass.

The ->nocb_bypass is flushed into the ->cblist every jiffy or when
the number of callbacks on ->nocb_bypass exceeds qhimark, whichever
happens first.  During call_rcu() floods, this flushing is carried out
by the CPU during the course of its call_rcu() invocations.  However,
a CPU could simply stop invoking call_rcu() at any time.  The no-CBs
grace-period kthread therefore carries out less-aggressive flushing
(every few jiffies or when the number of callbacks on ->nocb_bypass
exceeds (2 * qhimark), whichever comes first).  This means that the
no-CBs grace-period kthread cannot be permitted to do unbounded waits
while there are callbacks on ->nocb_bypass.  A ->nocb_bypass_timer is
used to provide the needed wakeups.

Paul E. McKenney 5d6742b377 rcu/nocb: Use rcu_segcblist for no-CBs CPUs
Currently the RCU callbacks for no-CBs CPUs are queued on a series of
ad-hoc linked lists, which means that these callbacks cannot benefit
from "drive-by" grace periods, thus suffering needless delays prior
to invocation.  In addition, the no-CBs grace-period kthreads first
wait for callbacks to appear and later wait for a new grace period,
which means that callbacks appearing during a grace-period wait can
be delayed.  These delays increase memory footprint, and could even
result in an out-of-memory condition.

This commit therefore enqueues RCU callbacks from no-CBs CPUs on the
rcu_segcblist structure that is already used by non-no-CBs CPUs.  It also
restructures the no-CBs grace-period kthread to be checking for incoming
callbacks while waiting for grace periods.  Also, instead of waiting
for a new grace period, it waits for the closest grace period that will
cause some of the callbacks to be safe to invoke.  All of these changes
reduce callback latency and thus the number of outstanding callbacks,
in turn reducing the probability of an out-of-memory condition.

Paul E. McKenney c1935209df rcu: Simplify and inline cpu_needs_another_gp()
Now that RCU no longer relies on failsafe checks, cpu_needs_another_gp()
can be greatly simplified.  This simplification eliminates the last
call to rcu_future_needs_gp() and to rcu_segcblist_future_gp_needed(),
both of which which can then be eliminated.  And then, because
cpu_needs_another_gp() is called only from __rcu_pending(), it can be
inlined and eliminated.

This commit carries out the simplification, inlining, and elimination
called out above.

Sebastian Andrzej Siewior 56628a7fc8 rcu/segcblist: Include rcupdate.h
The RT build on ARM complains about non-existing ULONG_CMP_LT.
This commit therefore includes rcupdate.h into rcu_segcblist.c.

Paul E. McKenney aed4e04686 rcu: Remove unused RCU list functions
Given changes to callback migration, rcu_cblist_head(),
rcu_cblist_tail(), rcu_cblist_count_cbs(), rcu_segcblist_segempty(),
rcu_segcblist_dequeued_lazy(), and rcu_segcblist_new_cbs() are
no longer used.  This commit therefore removes them.

Paul E. McKenney f2dbe4a562 rcu: Localize rcu_state ->orphan_pend and ->orphan_done
Given that the rcu_state structure's >orphan_pend and ->orphan_done
fields are used only during migration of callbacks from the recently
offlined CPU to a surviving CPU, if rcu_send_cbs_to_orphanage() and
rcu_adopt_orphan_cbs() are combined, these fields can become local
variables in the combined function.  This commit therefore combines
rcu_send_cbs_to_orphanage() and rcu_adopt_orphan_cbs() into a new
rcu_segcblist_merge() function and removes the ->orphan_pend and
->orphan_done fields.

Paul E. McKenney 98059b9861 rcu: Separately compile large rcu_segcblist functions
This commit creates a new kernel/rcu/rcu_segcblist.c file that
contains non-trivial segcblist functions.  Trivial functions
remain as static inline functions in kernel/rcu/rcu_segcblist.h
