Paul E. McKenney 5873b8a94e rcu-tasks: Refactor RCU-tasks to allow variants to be added
This commit splits out generic processing from RCU-tasks-specific
processing in order to allow additional flavors to be added.  It also
adds a def_bool TASKS_RCU_GENERIC to enable the common RCU-tasks
infrastructure code.

This is primarily, but not entirely, a code-movement commit.

Paul E. McKenney 5bef8da66a rcu: Add per-task state to RCU CPU stall warnings
Currently, an RCU-preempt CPU stall warning simply lists the PIDs of
those tasks holding up the current grace period.  This can be helpful,
but more can be even more helpful.

To this end, this commit adds the nesting level, whether the task
thinks it was preempted in its current RCU read-side critical section,
whether RCU core has asked this task for a quiescent state, whether the
expedited-grace-period hint is set, and whether the task believes that
it is on the blocked-tasks list (it must be, or it would not be printed,
but if things are broken, best not to take too much for granted).

Paul E. McKenney 52b1fc3f79 rcutorture: Add test of holding scheduler locks across rcu_read_unlock()
Now that it should be safe to hold scheduler locks across
rcu_read_unlock(), even in cases where the corresponding RCU read-side
critical section might have been preempted and boosted, the commit adds
a test of this capability to rcutorture.  This has been tested on current
mainline (which can deadlock in this situation), and lockdep duly reported
the expected deadlock.  On -rcu, lockdep is silent, thus far, anyway.

Lai Jiangshan 5f5fa7ea89 rcu: Don't use negative nesting depth in __rcu_read_unlock()
Now that RCU flavors have been consolidated, an RCU-preempt
rcu_read_unlock() in an interrupt or softirq handler cannot possibly
end the RCU read-side critical section.  Consider the old vulnerability
involving rcu_read_unlock() being invoked within such a handler that
interrupted an __rcu_read_unlock_special(), in which a wakeup might be
invoked with a scheduler lock held.  Because rcu_read_unlock_special()
no longer does wakeups in such situations, it is no longer necessary
for __rcu_read_unlock() to set the nesting level negative.

This commit therefore removes this recursion-protection code from
__rcu_read_unlock().

Lai Jiangshan f0bdf6d473 rcu: Remove unused ->rcu_read_unlock_special.b.deferred_qs field
The ->rcu_read_unlock_special.b.deferred_qs field is set to true in
rcu_read_unlock_special() but never set to false.  This is not
particularly useful, so this commit removes this field.

The only possible justification for this field is to ease debugging
of RCU deferred quiscent states, but the combination of the other
->rcu_read_unlock_special fields plus ->rcu_blocked_node and of course
->rcu_read_lock_nesting should cover debugging needs.  And if this last
proves incorrect, this patch can always be reverted, along with the
required setting of ->rcu_read_unlock_special.b.deferred_qs to false
in rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore().

Paul E. McKenney e4453d8a1c rcu: Make rcu_read_unlock_special() safe for rq/pi locks
The scheduler is currently required to hold rq/pi locks across the entire
RCU read-side critical section or not at all.  This is inconvenient and
leaves traps for the unwary, including the author of this commit.

But now that excessively long grace periods enable scheduling-clock
interrupts for holdout nohz_full CPUs, the nohz_full rescue logic in
rcu_read_unlock_special() can be dispensed with.  In other words, the
rcu_read_unlock_special() function can refrain from doing wakeups unless
such wakeups are guaranteed safe.

This commit therefore avoids unsafe wakeups, freeing the scheduler to
hold rq/pi locks across rcu_read_unlock() even if the corresponding RCU
read-side critical section might have been preempted.  This commit also
updates RCU's requirements documentation.

This commit is inspired by a patch from Lai Jiangshan:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20191102124559.1135-2-laijs@linux.alibaba.com
This commit is further intended to be a step towards his goal of permitting
the inlining of RCU-preempt's rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock().

Paul E. McKenney 6be7436d22 rcu: Add rcu_gp_might_be_stalled()
This commit adds rcu_gp_might_be_stalled(), which returns true if there
is some reason to believe that the RCU grace period is stalled.  The use
case is where an RCU free-memory path needs to allocate memory in order
to free it, a situation that should be avoided where possible.

But where it is necessary, there is always the alternative of using
synchronize_rcu() to wait for a grace period in order to avoid the
allocation.  And if the grace period is stalled, allocating memory to
asynchronously wait for it is a bad idea of epic proportions: Far better
to let others use the memory, because these others might actually be
able to free that memory before the grace period ends.

Thus, rcu_gp_might_be_stalled() can be used to help decide whether
allocating memory on an RCU free path is a semi-reasonable course
of action.

Joel Fernandes (Google) a6a82ce18b rcu/tree: Count number of batched kfree_rcu() locklessly
We can relax the correctness of counting of number of queued objects in
favor of not hurting performance, by locklessly sampling per-cpu
counters. This should be Ok since under high memory pressure, it should not
matter if we are off by a few objects while counting. The shrinker will
still do the reclaim.

Joel Fernandes (Google) 9154244c1a rcu/tree: Add a shrinker to prevent OOM due to kfree_rcu() batching
To reduce grace periods and improve kfree() performance, we have done
batching recently dramatically bringing down the number of grace periods
while giving us the ability to use kfree_bulk() for efficient kfree'ing.

However, this has increased the likelihood of OOM condition under heavy
kfree_rcu() flood on small memory systems. This patch introduces a
shrinker which starts grace periods right away if the system is under
memory pressure due to existence of objects that have still not started
a grace period.

With this patch, I do not observe an OOM anymore on a system with 512MB
RAM and 8 CPUs, with the following rcuperf options:

rcuperf.kfree_loops=20000 rcuperf.kfree_alloc_num=8000
rcuperf.kfree_rcu_test=1 rcuperf.kfree_mult=2

Otherwise it easily OOMs with the above parameters.

NOTE:
1. On systems with no memory pressure, the patch has no effect as intended.
2. In the future, we can use this same mechanism to prevent grace periods
   from happening even more, by relying on shrinkers carefully.

Zhaolong Zhang fcbcc0e700 rcu: Fix the (t=0 jiffies) false positive
It is possible that an over-long grace period will end while the RCU
CPU stall warning message is printing.  In this case, the estimate of
the offending grace period's duration can be erroneous due to refetching
of rcu_state.gp_start, which will now be the time of the newly started
grace period.  Computation of this duration clearly needs to use the
start time for the old over-long grace period, not the fresh new one.
This commit avoids such errors by causing both print_other_cpu_stall() and
print_cpu_stall() to reuse the value previously fetched by their caller.

Although the accesses used to determine whether or not a stall should
be printed are an integral part of the concurrency algorithm governing
use of the corresponding variables, the values that are simply printed
are ancillary.  As such, it is best to use data_race() for these accesses

Paul E. McKenney bf37da98c5 rcu: Don't acquire lock in NMI handler in rcu_nmi_enter_common()
The rcu_nmi_enter_common() function can be invoked both in interrupt
and NMI handlers.  If it is invoked from process context (as opposed
to userspace or idle context) on a nohz_full CPU, it might acquire the
CPU's leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock.  Because this lock is held only
with interrupts disabled, this is safe from an interrupt handler, but
doing so from an NMI handler can result in self-deadlock.

This commit therefore adds "irq" to the "if" condition so as to only
acquire the ->lock from irq handlers or process context, never from
an NMI handler.

   - Reuse lockdep zapped chain_hlocks entries, to conserve RAM

Paul E. McKenney 127e29815b rcu: Make rcu_barrier() account for offline no-CBs CPUs
Currently, rcu_barrier() ignores offline CPUs,  However, it is possible
for an offline no-CBs CPU to have callbacks queued, and rcu_barrier()
must wait for those callbacks.  This commit therefore makes rcu_barrier()
directly invoke the rcu_barrier_func() with interrupts disabled for such
CPUs.  This requires passing the CPU number into this function so that
it can entrain the rcu_barrier() callback onto the correct CPU's callback
list, given that the code must instead execute on the current CPU.

While in the area, this commit fixes a bug where the first CPU's callback
might have been invoked before rcu_segcblist_entrain() returned, which
would also result in an early wakeup.

Peter Zijlstra de8f5e4f2d lockdep: Introduce wait-type checks
Extend lockdep to validate lock wait-type context.

The current wait-types are:

	LD_WAIT_FREE,		/* wait free, rcu etc.. */
	LD_WAIT_SPIN,		/* spin loops, raw_spinlock_t etc.. */
	LD_WAIT_CONFIG,		/* CONFIG_PREEMPT_LOCK, spinlock_t etc.. */
	LD_WAIT_SLEEP,		/* sleeping locks, mutex_t etc.. */

Where lockdep validates that the current lock (the one being acquired)
fits in the current wait-context (as generated by the held stack).

This ensures that there is no attempt to acquire mutexes while holding
spinlocks, to acquire spinlocks while holding raw_spinlocks and so on. In
other words, its a more fancy might_sleep().

Obviously RCU made the entire ordeal more complex than a simple single
value test because RCU can be acquired in (pretty much) any context and
while it presents a context to nested locks it is not the same as it
got acquired in.

Therefore its necessary to split the wait_type into two values, one
representing the acquire (outer) and one representing the nested context
(inner). For most 'normal' locks these two are the same.

[ To make static initialization easier we have the rule that:
  .outer == INV means .outer == .inner; because INV == 0. ]

It further means that its required to find the minimal .inner of the held
stack to compare against the outer of the new lock; because while 'normal'
RCU presents a CONFIG type to nested locks, if it is taken while already
holding a SPIN type it obviously doesn't relax the rules.

Below is an example output generated by the trivial test code:

  raw_spin_lock(&foo);
  spin_lock(&bar);
  spin_unlock(&bar);
  raw_spin_unlock(&foo);

 [ BUG: Invalid wait context ]
 -----------------------------
 swapper/0/1 is trying to lock:
 ffffc90000013f20 (&bar){....}-{3:3}, at: kernel_init+0xdb/0x187
 other info that might help us debug this:
 1 lock held by swapper/0/1:
  #0: ffffc90000013ee0 (&foo){+.+.}-{2:2}, at: kernel_init+0xd1/0x187

The way to read it is to look at the new -{n,m} part in the lock
description; -{3:3} for the attempted lock, and try and match that up to
the held locks, which in this case is the one: -{2,2}.

This tells that the acquiring lock requires a more relaxed environment than
presented by the lock stack.

Currently only the normal locks and RCU are converted, the rest of the
lockdep users defaults to .inner = INV which is ignored. More conversions
can be done when desired.

The check for spinlock_t nesting is not enabled by default. It's a separate
config option for now as there are known problems which are currently
addressed. The config option allows to identify these problems and to
verify that the solutions found are indeed solving them.

The config switch will be removed and the checks will permanently enabled
once the vast majority of issues has been addressed.

Paul E. McKenney 9470a18fab rcutorture: Manually clean up after rcu_barrier() failure
Currently, if rcu_barrier() returns too soon, the test waits 100ms and
then does another instance of the test.  However, if rcu_barrier() were
to have waited for more than 100ms too short a time, this could cause
the test's rcu_head structures to be reused while they were still on
RCU's callback lists.  This can result in knock-on errors that obscure
the original rcu_barrier() test failure.

This commit therefore adds code that attempts to wait until all of
the test's callbacks have been invoked.  Of course, if RCU completely
lost track of the corresponding rcu_head structures, this wait could be
forever.  This commit therefore also complains if this attempted recovery
takes more than one second, and it also gives up when the test ends.

Paul E. McKenney 435508095a rcutorture: Refrain from callback flooding during boot
Additional rcutorture aggression can result in, believe it or not,
boot times in excess of three minutes on large hyperthreaded systems.
This is long enough for rcutorture to decide to do some callback flooding,
which seems a bit excessive given that userspace cannot have started
until long after boot, and it is userspace that does the real-world
callback flooding.  Worse yet, because Tiny RCU lacks forward-progress
functionality, the looping-in-the-kernel tests can also be problematic
during early boot.

This commit therefore causes rcutorture to hold off on callback
flooding until about the time that init is spawned, and the same

Paul E. McKenney b2b00ddf19 rcu: React to callback overload by aggressively seeking quiescent states
In default configutions, RCU currently waits at least 100 milliseconds
before asking cond_resched() and/or resched_rcu() for help seeking
quiescent states to end a grace period.  But 100 milliseconds can be
one good long time during an RCU callback flood, for example, as can
happen when user processes repeatedly open and close files in a tight
loop.  These 100-millisecond gaps in successive grace periods during a
callback flood can result in excessive numbers of callbacks piling up,
unnecessarily increasing memory footprint.

This commit therefore asks cond_resched() and/or resched_rcu() for help
as early as the first FQS scan when at least one of the CPUs has more
than 20,000 callbacks queued, a number that can be changed using the new
rcutree.qovld kernel boot parameter.  An auxiliary qovld_calc variable
is used to avoid acquisition of locks that have not yet been initialized.
Early tests indicate that this reduces the RCU-callback memory footprint
during rcutorture floods by from 50% to 4x, depending on configuration.

Paul E. McKenney b5ea03709d rcu: Clear ->core_needs_qs at GP end or self-reported QS
The rcu_data structure's ->core_needs_qs field does not necessarily get
cleared in a timely fashion after the corresponding CPUs' quiescent state
has been reported.  From a functional viewpoint, no harm done, but this
can result in excessive invocation of RCU core processing, as witnessed
by the kernel test robot, which saw greatly increased softirq overhead.

This commit therefore restores the rcu_report_qs_rdp() function's
clearing of this field, but only when running on the corresponding CPU.
Cases where some other CPU reports the quiescent state (for example, on
behalf of an idle CPU) are handled by setting this field appropriately
within the __note_gp_changes() function's end-of-grace-period checks.
This handling is carried out regardless of whether the end of a grace
period actually happened, thus handling the case where a CPU goes non-idle
after a quiescent state is reported on its behalf, but before the grace
period ends.  This fix also avoids cross-CPU updates to ->core_needs_qs,

While in the area, this commit changes the __note_gp_changes() need_gp
variable's name to need_qs because it is a quiescent state that is needed
from the CPU in question.

Uladzislau Rezki (Sony) 34c8817455 rcu: Support kfree_bulk() interface in kfree_rcu()
The kfree_rcu() logic can be improved further by using kfree_bulk()
interface along with "basic batching support" introduced earlier.

The are at least two advantages of using "bulk" interface:
- in case of large number of kfree_rcu() requests kfree_bulk()
  reduces the per-object overhead caused by calling kfree()
  per-object.

- reduces the number of cache-misses due to "pointer chasing"
  between objects which can be far spread between each other.

This approach defines a new kfree_rcu_bulk_data structure that
stores pointers in an array with a specific size. Number of entries
in that array depends on PAGE_SIZE making kfree_rcu_bulk_data
structure to be exactly one page.

Since it deals with "block-chain" technique there is an extra
need in dynamic allocation when a new block is required. Memory
is allocated with GFP_NOWAIT | __GFP_NOWARN flags, i.e. that
allows to skip direct reclaim under low memory condition to
prevent stalling and fails silently under high memory pressure.

The "emergency path" gets maintained when a system is run out of
memory. In that case objects are linked into regular list.

The "rcuperf" was run to analyze this change in terms of memory
consumption and kfree_bulk() throughput.

Paul E. McKenney 3d05031ae6 rcu: Make nocb_gp_wait() double-check unexpected-callback warning
Currently, nocb_gp_wait() unconditionally complains if there is a
callback not already associated with a grace period.  This assumes that
either there was no such callback initially on the one hand, or that
the rcu_advance_cbs() function assigned all such callbacks to a grace
period on the other.  However, in theory there are some situations that
would prevent rcu_advance_cbs() from assigning all of the callbacks.

This commit therefore checks for unassociated callbacks immediately after
rcu_advance_cbs() returns, while the corresponding rcu_node structure's
->lock is still held.  If there are unassociated callbacks at that point,
the subsequent WARN_ON_ONCE() is disabled.

Paul E. McKenney 5648d65912 rcu: Don't flag non-starting GPs before GP kthread is running
Currently rcu_check_gp_start_stall() complains if a grace period takes
too long to start, where "too long" is roughly one RCU CPU stall-warning
interval.  This has worked well, but there are some debugging Kconfig
options (such as CONFIG_EFI_PGT_DUMP=y) that can make booting take a
very long time, so much so that the stall-warning interval has expired
before RCU's grace-period kthread has even been spawned.

This commit therefore resets the rcu_state.gp_req_activity and
rcu_state.gp_activity timestamps just before the grace-period kthread
is spawned, and modifies the checks and adds ordering to ensure that
if rcu_check_gp_start_stall() sees that the grace-period kthread
has been spawned, that it will also see the resets applied to the
rcu_state.gp_req_activity and rcu_state.gp_activity timestamps.

Paul E. McKenney aa24f93753 rcu: Fix rcu_barrier_callback() race condition
The rcu_barrier_callback() function does an atomic_dec_and_test(), and
if it is the last CPU to check in, does the required wakeup.  Either way,
it does an event trace.  Unfortunately, this is susceptible to the
following sequence of events:

o	CPU 0 invokes rcu_barrier_callback(), but atomic_dec_and_test()
	says that it is not last.  But at this point, CPU 0 is delayed,
	perhaps due to an NMI, SMI, or vCPU preemption.

o	CPU 1 invokes rcu_barrier_callback(), and atomic_dec_and_test()
	says that it is last.  So CPU 1 traces completion and does
	the needed wakeup.

o	The awakened rcu_barrier() function does cleanup and releases
	rcu_state.barrier_mutex.

o	Another CPU now acquires rcu_state.barrier_mutex and starts
	another round of rcu_barrier() processing, including updating
	rcu_state.barrier_sequence.

o	CPU 0 gets its act back together and does its tracing.  Except
	that rcu_state.barrier_sequence has already been updated, so
	its tracing is incorrect and probably quite confusing.
	(Wait!  Why did this CPU check in twice for one rcu_barrier()
	invocation???)

This commit therefore causes rcu_barrier_callback() to take a
snapshot of the value of rcu_state.barrier_sequence before invoking
atomic_dec_and_test(), thus guaranteeing that the event-trace output
is sensible, even if the timing of the event-trace output might still
be confusing.  (Wait!  Why did the old rcu_barrier() complete before
all of its CPUs checked in???)  But being that this is RCU, only so much
confusion can reasonably be eliminated.

This data race was reported by KCSAN.  Not appropriate for backporting
due to failure being unlikely and due to the mild consequences of the
failure, namely a confusing event trace.
