Because nohz_full CPUs can leave the scheduler-clock interrupt disabled
even when in kernel mode, RCU cannot rely on rcu_check_callbacks() to
enlist the scheduler's aid in extracting a quiescent state from such CPUs.
This commit therefore more aggressively uses resched_cpu() on nohz_full
CPUs that fail to pass through a quiescent state in a timely manner.
By default, the resched_cpu() beating starts 300 milliseconds into the
quiescent state.
While in the neighborhood, add a ->last_fqs_resched field to the rcu_data
structure in order to rate-limit resched_cpu() calls from the RCU
grace-period kthread.

The ->rcu_qs_ctr counter was intended to allow providing a lightweight
report of a quiescent state to all RCU flavors. But now that there is
only one flavor of RCU in any one running kernel, there is no point in
having this feature. This commit therefore removes the ->rcu_qs_ctr
field from the rcu_dynticks structure and the ->rcu_qs_ctr_snap field
from the rcu_data structure. This results in the "rqc" option to the
rcu_fqs trace event no longer being used, so this commit also removes the
"rqc" description from the header comment.
While in the neighborhood, this commit also causes the forward-progress
request .rcu_need_heavy_qs be set one jiffies_till_sched_qs interval
later in the grace period than the first setting of .rcu_urgent_qs.

RCU-sched's update-side API members in terms of those of RCU-preempt.
This means that any given build of the Linux kernel has only one
update-side flavor of RCU, namely RCU-preempt for CONFIG_PREEMPT=y builds
and RCU-sched for CONFIG_PREEMPT=n builds. This in turn means that kernels
built with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y have only one rcuo kthread per CPU.

One necessary step towards consolidating the three flavors of RCU is to
make sure that the resulting consolidated "one flavor to rule them all"
correctly handles networking denial-of-service attacks. One thing that
allows RCU-bh to do so is that __do_softirq() invokes rcu_bh_qs() every
so often, and so something similar has to happen for consolidated RCU.
This must be done carefully. For example, if a preemption-disabled
region of code takes an interrupt which does softirq processing before
returning, consolidated RCU must ignore the resulting rcu_bh_qs()
invocations -- preemption is still disabled, and that means an RCU
reader for the consolidated flavor.
This commit therefore creates a new rcu_softirq_qs() that is called only
from the ksoftirqd task, thus avoiding the interrupted-a-preempted-region
problem. This new rcu_softirq_qs() function invokes rcu_sched_qs(),
rcu_preempt_qs(), and rcu_preempt_deferred_qs(). The latter call handles
any deferred quiescent states.
Note that __do_softirq() still invokes rcu_bh_qs(). It will continue to
do so until a later stage of cleanup when the RCU-bh flavor is removed.

This commit defers reporting of RCU-preempt quiescent states at
rcu_read_unlock_special() time when any of interrupts, softirq, or
preemption are disabled. These deferred quiescent states are reported
at a later RCU_SOFTIRQ, context switch, idle entry, or CPU-hotplug
offline operation. Of course, if another RCU read-side critical
section has started in the meantime, the reporting of the quiescent
state will be further deferred.
This also means that disabling preemption, interrupts, and/or
softirqs will act as an RCU-preempt read-side critical section.
This is enforced by checking preempt_count() as needed.
Some special cases must be handled on an ad-hoc basis, for example,
context switch is a quiescent state even though both the scheduler and
do_exit() disable preemption. In these cases, additional calls to
rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() override the preemption disabling. Similar
logic overrides disabled interrupts in rcu_preempt_check_callbacks()
because in this case the quiescent state happened just before the
corresponding scheduling-clock interrupt.
In theory, this change lifts a long-standing restriction that required
that if interrupts were disabled across a call to rcu_read_unlock()
that the matching rcu_read_lock() also be contained within that
interrupts-disabled region of code. Because the reporting of the
corresponding RCU-preempt quiescent state is now deferred until
after interrupts have been enabled, it is no longer possible for this
situation to result in deadlocks involving the scheduler's runqueue and
priority-inheritance locks. This may allow some code simplification that
might reduce interrupt latency a bit. Unfortunately, in practice this
would also defer deboosting a low-priority task that had been subjected
to RCU priority boosting, so real-time-response considerations might
well force this restriction to remain in place.
Because RCU-preempt grace periods are now blocked not only by RCU
read-side critical sections, but also by disabling of interrupts,
preemption, and softirqs, it will be possible to eliminate RCU-bh and
RCU-sched in favor of RCU-preempt in CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels. This may
require some additional plumbing to provide the network denial-of-service
guarantees that have been traditionally provided by RCU-bh. Once these
are in place, CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernels will be able to fold RCU-bh
into RCU-sched. This would mean that all kernels would have but
one flavor of RCU, which would open the door to significant code
cleanup.
Moving to a single flavor of RCU would also have the beneficial effect
of reducing the NOCB kthreads by at least a factor of two.

Interactions between CPU-hotplug operations and grace-period
initialization can result in dump_blkd_tasks(). One of the first
debugging actions in this case is to search back in dmesg to work

determine the last CPU-hotplug operation affecting any of those CPUs.
This can be laborious and error-prone, especially when console output

Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Without special fail-safe quiescent-state-propagation checks, grace-period
hangs can result from the following scenario:
1. CPU 1 goes offline.
2. Because CPU 1 is the only CPU in the system blocking the current
grace period, the grace period ends as soon as
rcu_cleanup_dying_idle_cpu()'s call to rcu_report_qs_rnp()
returns.
3. At this point, the leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock is no longer
held: rcu_report_qs_rnp() has released it, as it must in order
to awaken the RCU grace-period kthread.
4. At this point, that same leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmaskinitnext
field still records CPU 1 as being online. This is absolutely
necessary because the scheduler uses RCU (in this case on the
wake-up path while awakening RCU's grace-period kthread), and
->qsmaskinitnext contains RCU's idea as to which CPUs are online.
Therefore, invoking rcu_report_qs_rnp() after clearing CPU 1's
bit from ->qsmaskinitnext would result in a lockdep-RCU splat
due to RCU being used from an offline CPU.
5. RCU's grace-period kthread awakens, sees that the old grace period
has completed and that a new one is needed. It therefore starts
a new grace period, but because CPU 1's leaf rcu_node structure's
->qsmaskinitnext field still shows CPU 1 as being online, this new
grace period is initialized to wait for a quiescent state from the
now-offline CPU 1.
6. Without the fail-safe force-quiescent-state checks, there would
be no quiescent state from the now-offline CPU 1, which would
eventually result in RCU CPU stall warnings and memory exhaustion.
It would be good to get rid of the special fail-safe quiescent-state
propagation checks, and thus it would be good to fix things so that
the above scenario cannot happen. This commit therefore adds a new
->ofl_lock to the rcu_state structure. This lock is held by rcu_gp_init()
across the applying of buffered online and offline operations to the
rcu_node tree, and it is also held by rcu_cleanup_dying_idle_cpu()
when buffering a new offline operation. This prevents rcu_gp_init()
from acquiring the leaf rcu_node structure's lock during the interval
between when rcu_cleanup_dying_idle_cpu() invokes rcu_report_qs_rnp(),
which releases ->lock and the re-acquisition of that same lock.
This in turn prevents the failure scenario outlined above, and will
hopefully eventually allow removal of the offline-CPU checks from the
force-quiescent-state code path.

One problem with the ->need_future_gp[] array is that the grace-period

This increase lock contention, which is the opposite of helpful.

gets some temporary consistency checks and uses rcu_seq_done(),
rcu_seq_current(), rcu_seq_state(), and rcu_gp_in_progress() in place
of the earlier open-coded comparisons of ->gpnum and ->completed.
The rcu_future_gp_cleanup() function replaces use of ->completed
with ->gp_seq. The rcu_accelerate_cbs() function replaces a call to
rcu_cbs_completed() with one to rcu_seq_snap(). The rcu_advance_cbs()
function replaces an access to >completed with one to ->gp_seq and adds
some temporary warnings. The rcu_nocb_wait_gp() function replaces a
call to rcu_cbs_completed() with one to rcu_seq_snap() and an open-coded
comparison with rcu_seq_done().
The temporary warnings will be removed when the various ->gpnum and
->completed fields are removed. Their purpose is to locate code who
might still be using ->gpnum and ->completed. (Much easier that way
than trying to trace down the causes of too-short grace periods and
grace-period hangs!)

The rcu_cbs_completed() function provides the value of ->completed
at which new callbacks can safely be invoked. This is recorded in
two-element ->need_future_gp[] arrays in the rcu_node structure, and
the elements of these arrays corresponding to the just-completed grace
period are zeroed at the end of that grace period. However, the
rcu_cbs_completed() function can return the current ->completed value
plus either one or two, so it is possible for the corresponding
->need_future_gp[] entry to be cleared just after it was set, thus
losing a request for a future grace period.

Currently, rcu_gp_cleanup() scans the rcu_node tree in order to reset
state to reflect the end of the grace period. It also checks to see
whether a new grace period is needed, but in a number of cases, rather
than directly cause the new grace period to be immediately started, it
instead leaves the grace-period-needed state where various fail-safes
can find it. This works fine, but results in higher contention on the
root rcu_node structure's ->lock, which is undesirable, and contention
on that lock has recently become noticeable.
This commit therefore makes rcu_gp_cleanup() immediately start a new

One common question upon seeing an RCU CPU stall warning is "did
the stalled CPUs have interrupts disabled?" However, the current
stall warnings are silent on this point. This commit therefore
uses irq_work to check whether stalled CPUs still respond to IPIs,
and flags this state in the RCU CPU stall warning console messages.

Given that the rcu_state structure's >orphan_pend and ->orphan_done

The handling of RCU's no-CBs CPUs has a maintenance headache, namely
that if call_rcu() is invoked with interrupts disabled, the rcuo kthread
wakeup must be defered to a point where we can be sure that scheduler
locks are not held. Of course, there are a lot of code paths leading
from an interrupts-disabled invocation of call_rcu(), and missing any
one of these can result in excessive callback-invocation latency, and
potentially even system hangs.
This commit therefore uses a timer to guarantee that the wakeup will
eventually occur. If one of the deferred-wakeup points kicks in, then
the timer is simply cancelled.
This commit also fixes up an incomplete removal of commits that were
intended to plug remaining exit paths, which should have the added
benefit of reducing the overhead of RCU's context-switch hooks. In
addition, it simplifies leader-to-follower callback-list handoff by
introducing locking. The call_rcu()-to-leader handoff continues to
use atomic operations in order to maintain good real-time latency for
common-case use of call_rcu().

Although preemptible RCU allows its read-side critical sections to be
preempted, general blocking is forbidden. The reason for this is that
excessive preemption times can be handled by CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y, but a
voluntarily blocked task doesn't care how high you boost its priority.
Because preemptible RCU is a global mechanism, one ill-behaved reader
hurts everyone. Hence the prohibition against general blocking in
RCU-preempt read-side critical sections. Preemption yes, blocking no.
This commit enforces this prohibition.
There is a special exception for the -rt patchset (which they kindly
volunteered to implement): It is OK to block (as opposed to merely being
preempted) within an RCU-preempt read-side critical section, but only if
the blocking is subject to priority inheritance. This exception permits
CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y to get -rt RCU readers out of trouble.
Why doesn't this exception also apply to mainline's rt_mutex? Because
of the possibility that someone does general blocking while holding
an rt_mutex. Yes, the priority boosting will affect the rt_mutex,
but it won't help with the task doing general blocking while holding
that rt_mutex.

Peter Zijlstra proposed using SRCU to reduce mmap_sem contention [1,2],
however, there are workloads that could result in a high volume of
concurrent invocations of call_srcu(), which with current SRCU would
result in excessive lock contention on the srcu_struct structure's
->queue_lock, which protects SRCU's callback lists. This commit therefore
moves SRCU to per-CPU callback lists, thus greatly reducing contention.
Because a given SRCU instance no longer has a single centralized callback
list, starting grace periods and invoking callbacks are both more complex
than in the single-list Classic SRCU implementation. Starting grace
periods and handling callbacks are now handled using an srcu_node tree
that is in some ways similar to the rcu_node trees used by RCU-bh,
RCU-preempt, and RCU-sched (for example, the srcu_node tree shape is
controlled by exactly the same Kconfig options and boot parameters that
control the shape of the rcu_node tree).
In addition, the old per-CPU srcu_array structure is now named srcu_data
and contains an rcu_segcblist structure named ->srcu_cblist for its
callbacks (and a spinlock to protect this). The srcu_struct gets
an srcu_gp_seq that is used to associate callback segments with the
corresponding completion-time grace-period number. These completion-time
grace-period numbers are propagated up the srcu_node tree so that the
grace-period workqueue handler can determine whether additional grace
periods are needed on the one hand and where to look for callbacks that
are ready to be invoked.
The srcu_barrier() function must now wait on all instances of the per-CPU
->srcu_cblist. Because each ->srcu_cblist is protected by ->lock,
srcu_barrier() can remotely add the needed callbacks. In theory,
it could also remotely start grace periods, but in practice doing so
is complex and racy. And interestingly enough, it is never necessary
for srcu_barrier() to start a grace period because srcu_barrier() only
enqueues a callback when a callback is already present--and it turns out
that a grace period has to have already been started for this pre-existing
callback. Furthermore, it is only the callback that srcu_barrier()
needs to wait on, not any particular grace period. Therefore, a new
rcu_segcblist_entrain() function enqueues the srcu_barrier() function's
callback into the same segment occupied by the last pre-existing callback
in the list. The special case where all the pre-existing callbacks are
on a different list (because they are in the process of being invoked)
is handled by enqueuing srcu_barrier()'s callback into the RCU_DONE_TAIL
segment, relying on the done-callbacks check that takes place after all
callbacks are inovked.
Note that the readers use the same algorithm as before. Note that there
is a separate srcu_idx that tells the readers what counter to increment.
This unfortunately cannot be combined with srcu_gp_seq because they
need to be incremented at different times.
This commit introduces some ugly #ifdefs in rcutorture. These will go
away when I feel good enough about Tree SRCU to ditch Classic SRCU.
Some crude performance comparisons, courtesy of a quickly hacked rcuperf
asynchronous-grace-period capability:
Callback Queuing Overhead
-------------------------
# CPUS Classic SRCU Tree SRCU
------ ------------ ---------
2 0.349 us 0.342 us
16 31.66 us 0.4 us
41 --------- 0.417 us
The times are the 90th percentiles, a statistic that was chosen to reject
the overheads of the occasional srcu_barrier() call needed to avoid OOMing
the test machine. The rcuperf test hangs when running Classic SRCU at 41
CPUs, hence the line of dashes. Despite the hacks to both the rcuperf code
and that statistics, this is a convincing demonstration of Tree SRCU's
performance and scalability advantages.

RCU has only one multi-tail callback list, which is implemented via
the nxtlist, nxttail, nxtcompleted, qlen_lazy, and qlen fields in the
rcu_data structure, and whose operations are open-code throughout the
Tree RCU implementation. This has been more or less OK in the past,
but upcoming callback-list optimizations in SRCU could really use
a multi-tail callback list there as well.
This commit therefore abstracts the multi-tail callback list handling
into a new kernel/rcu/rcu_segcblist.h file, and uses this new API.
The simple head-and-tail pointer callback list is also abstracted and

Currently, IPIs are used to force other CPUs to invalidate their TLBs
in response to a kernel virtual-memory mapping change. This works, but
degrades both battery lifetime (for idle CPUs) and real-time response
(for nohz_full CPUs), and in addition results in unnecessary IPIs due to
the fact that CPUs executing in usermode are unaffected by stale kernel
mappings. It would be better to cause a CPU executing in usermode to
wait until it is entering kernel mode to do the flush, first to avoid
interrupting usemode tasks and second to handle multiple flush requests
with a single flush in the case of a long-running user task.
This commit therefore reserves a bit at the bottom of the ->dynticks
counter, which is checked upon exit from extended quiescent states.
If it is set, it is cleared and then a new rcu_eqs_special_exit() macro is
invoked, which, if not supplied, is an empty single-pass do-while loop.
If this bottom bit is set on -entry- to an extended quiescent state,
then a WARN_ON_ONCE() triggers.
This bottom bit may be set using a new rcu_eqs_special_set() function,
which returns true if the bit was set, or false if the CPU turned
out to not be in an extended quiescent state. Please note that this
function refuses to set the bit for a non-nohz_full CPU when that CPU
is executing in usermode because usermode execution is tracked by RCU
as a dyntick-idle extended quiescent state only for nohz_full CPUs.

The current implementation of expedited grace periods has the user
task drive the grace period. This works, but has downsides: (1) The
user task must awaken tasks piggybacking on this grace period, which
can result in latencies rivaling that of the grace period itself, and
(2) User tasks can receive signals, which interfere with RCU CPU stall
warnings.
This commit therefore uses workqueues to drive the grace periods, so
that the user task need not do the awakening. A subsequent commit

In many cases in the RCU tree code, we iterate over the set of cpus for
a leaf node described by rcu_node::grplo and rcu_node::grphi, checking
per-cpu data for each cpu in this range. However, if the set of possible
cpus is sparse, some cpus described in this range are not possible, and
thus no per-cpu region will have been allocated (or initialised) for
them by the generic percpu code.
Erroneous accesses to a per-cpu area for these !possible cpus may fault
or may hit other data depending on the addressed generated when the
erroneous per cpu offset is applied. In practice, both cases have been
observed on arm64 hardware (the former being silent, but detectable with
additional patches).
To avoid issues resulting from this, we must iterate over the set of
*possible* cpus for a given leaf node. This patch add a new helper,
for_each_leaf_node_possible_cpu, to enable this. As iteration is often
intertwined with rcu_node local bitmask manipulation, a new
leaf_node_cpu_bit helper is added to make this simpler and more
consistent. The RCU tree code is made to use both of these where
appropriate.

Recent kernels can fail to awaken the grace-period kthread for
quiescent-state forcing. This commit is a crude hack that does
a wakeup if a scheduling-clock interrupt sees that it has been
too long since force-quiescent-state (FQS) processing.

The current expedited grace-period implementation makes subsequent grace
periods wait on wakeups for the prior grace period. This does not fit
the dictionary definition of "expedited", so this commit allows these two
phases to overlap. Doing this requires four waitqueues rather than two
because tasks can now be waiting on the previous, current, and next grace
periods. The fourth waitqueue makes the bit masking work out nicely.

The current mutex-based funnel-locking approach used by expedited grace
periods is subject to severe unfairness. The problem arises when a
few tasks, making a path from leaves to root, all wake up before other
tasks do. A new task can then follow this path all the way to the root,
which needlessly delays tasks whose grace period is done, but who do
not happen to acquire the lock quickly enough.
This commit avoids this problem by maintaining per-rcu_node wait queues,
along with a per-rcu_node counter that tracks the latest grace period
sought by an earlier task to visit this node. If that grace period
would satisfy the current task, instead of proceeding up the tree,
it waits on the current rcu_node structure using a pair of wait queues
provided for that purpose. This decouples awakening of old tasks from
the arrival of new tasks.
If the wakeups prove to be a bottleneck, additional kthreads can be
brought to bear for that purpose.

Commit #cdacbe1f91264 ("rcu: Add fastpath bypassing funnel locking")
turns out to be a pessimization at high load because it forces a tree
full of tasks to wait for an expedited grace period that they probably
do not need. This commit therefore removes this optimization.

As of commit dae6e64d2b ("rcu: Introduce proper blocking to no-CBs kthreads
GP waits") the RCU subsystem started making use of wait queues.
Here we convert all additions of RCU wait queues to use simple wait queues,
since they don't need the extra overhead of the full wait queue features.
Originally this was done for RT kernels[1], since we would get things like...

...and hence simple wait queues were deployed on RT out of necessity
(as simple wait uses a raw lock), but mainline might as well take
advantage of the more streamline support as well.
[1] This is a carry forward of work from v3.10-rt; the original conversion
was by Thomas on an earlier -rt version, and Sebastian extended it to
additional post-3.10 added RCU waiters; here I've added a commit log and
unified the RCU changes into one, and uprev'd it to match mainline RCU.

rcu_nocb_gp_cleanup() is called while holding rnp->lock. Currently,
this is okay because the wake_up_all() in rcu_nocb_gp_cleanup() will
not enable the IRQs. lockdep is happy.
By switching over using swait this is not true anymore. swake_up_all()
enables the IRQs while processing the waiters. __do_softirq() can now
run and will eventually call rcu_process_callbacks() which wants to
grap nrp->lock.
Let's move the rcu_nocb_gp_cleanup() call outside the lock before we
switch over to swait.
If we would hold the rnp->lock and use swait, lockdep reports
following:

In patch:
"rcu: Add transitivity to remaining rcu_node ->lock acquisitions"
All locking operations on rcu_node::lock are replaced with the wrappers
because of the need of transitivity, which indicates we should never
write code using LOCK primitives alone(i.e. without a proper barrier
following) on rcu_node::lock outside those wrappers. We could detect
this kind of misuses on rcu_node::lock in the future by adding __private
modifier on rcu_node::lock.
To privatize rcu_node::lock, unlock wrappers are also needed. Replacing
spinlock unlocks with these wrappers not only privatizes rcu_node::lock
but also makes it easier to figure out critical sections of rcu_node.
This patch adds __private modifier to rcu_node::lock and makes every
access to it wrapped by ACCESS_PRIVATE(). Besides, unlock wrappers are
added and raw_spin_unlock(&rnp->lock) and its friends are replaced with
those wrappers.

Currently, the piggybacked-work checks carried out by sync_exp_work_done()
atomically increment a small set of variables (the ->expedited_workdone0,
->expedited_workdone1, ->expedited_workdone2, ->expedited_workdone3
fields in the rcu_state structure), which will form a memory-contention
bottleneck given a sufficiently large number of CPUs concurrently invoking
either synchronize_rcu_expedited() or synchronize_sched_expedited().
This commit therefore moves these for fields to the per-CPU rcu_data
structure, eliminating the memory contention. The show_rcuexp() function
also changes to sum up each field in the rcu_data structures.

Analogy with the ->qsmaskinitnext field might lead one to believe that
->expmaskinitnext tracks online CPUs. This belief is incorrect: Any CPU
that has ever been online will have its bit set in the ->expmaskinitnext
field. This commit therefore adds a comment to make this clear, at
least to people who read comments.

Providing RCU's memory-ordering guarantees requires that the rcu_node
tree's locking provide transitive memory ordering, which the Linux kernel's
spinlocks currently do not provide unless smp_mb__after_unlock_lock()
is used. Having a separate smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() after each and
every lock acquisition is error-prone, hard to read, and a bit annoying,
so this commit provides wrapper functions that pull in the
smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() invocations.

This commit makes the RCU CPU stall warning message print online/offline
indications immediately after the CPU number. A "O" indicates global
offline, a "." global online, and a "o" indicates RCU believes that the
CPU is offline for the current grace period and "." otherwise, and an
"N" indicates that RCU believes that the CPU will be offline for the
next grace period, and "." otherwise, all right after the CPU number.
So for CPU 10, you would normally see "10-...:" indicating that everything
believes that the CPU is online.

This reverts commit af859beaab (rcu: Silence lockdep false positive
for expedited grace periods). Because synchronize_rcu_expedited()
no longer invokes synchronize_sched_expedited(), ->exp_funnel_mutex
acquisition is no longer nested, so the false positive no longer happens.
This commit therefore removes the extra lockdep data structures, as they
are no longer needed.
