Paul E. McKenney d85b62f18d srcu: Force full grace-period ordering
If a process invokes synchronize_srcu(), is delayed just the right amount
of time, and thus does not sleep when waiting for the grace period to
complete, there is no ordering between the end of the grace period and
the code following the synchronize_srcu().  Similarly, there can be a
lack of ordering between the end of the SRCU grace period and callback
invocation.

This commit adds the necessary ordering.

Paul E. McKenney 02a5c550b2 rcu: Abstract extended quiescent state determination
This commit is the fourth step towards full abstraction of all accesses
to the ->dynticks counter, implementing previously open-coded checks and
comparisons in new rcu_dynticks_in_eqs() and rcu_dynticks_in_eqs_since()
functions.  This abstraction will ease changes to the ->dynticks counter
operation.

Paul E. McKenney bb4e2c08bb rcu: Eliminate unused expedited_normal counter
Expedited grace periods no longer fall back to normal grace periods
in response to lock contention, given that expedited grace periods
now use the rcu_node tree so as to avoid contention.  This commit
therfore removes the expedited_normal counter.

Paul E. McKenney 0742ac3e2f rcu: Make expedited grace periods recheck dyntick idle state
Expedited grace periods check dyntick-idle state, and avoid sending
IPIs to idle CPUs, including those running guest OSes, and, on NOHZ_FULL
kernels, nohz_full CPUs.  However, the kernel has been observed checking
a CPU while it was non-idle, but sending the IPI after it has gone
idle.  This commit therefore rechecks idle state immediately before
sending the IPI, refraining from IPIing CPUs that have since gone idle.

Paul E. McKenney 8b355e3bc1 rcu: Drive expedited grace periods from workqueue
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
will remove the now-unnecessary code allowing for signals.

Mark Rutland bc75e99983 rcu: Correctly handle sparse possible cpus
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.

Without this patch, running reboot at a shell can result in an oops
like:

Paul E. McKenney 8c7c4829a8 rcu: Awaken grace-period kthread if too long since FQS
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.

Paul E. McKenney 3b5f668e71 rcu: Overlap wakeups with next expedited grace period
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.

Paul E. McKenney f6a12f34a4 rcu: Enforce expedited-GP fairness via funnel wait queue
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.

Paul Gortmaker abedf8e241 rcu: Use simple wait queues where possible in rcutree
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...

  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/rtmutex.c:659
  in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 1, pid: 8, name: rcu_preempt

   [<ffffffff817e0750>] ? gs_change+0xb/0xb

...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.

Daniel Wagner 065bb78c5b rcu: Do not call rcu_nocb_gp_cleanup() while holding rnp->lock
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:

Boqun Feng 67c583a7de RCU: Privatize rcu_node::lock
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.

Paul E. McKenney df5bd5144a rcu: Reduce expedited GP memory contention via per-CPU variables
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

bottleneck given a sufficiently large number of CPUs concurrently invoking

Paul E. McKenney af859beaab rcu: Silence lockdep false positive for expedited grace periods
In a CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernel, synchronize_rcu_expedited()
acquires the ->exp_funnel_mutex in rcu_preempt_state, then invokes
synchronize_sched_expedited, which acquires the ->exp_funnel_mutex in
rcu_sched_state.  There can be no deadlock because rcu_preempt_state
->exp_funnel_mutex acquisition always precedes that of rcu_sched_state.
But lockdep does not know that, so it gives false-positive splats.

which schedules the stopper kthreads on each online non-idle CPU,

get hit with a preemption that is as long as the longest scheduling
latency on any CPU, including any non-realtime housekeeping CPUs.
This commit therefore switches to using stop_one_cpu() on each CPU
in turn.  This avoids inflicting the worst-case scheduling latency
on the worst-case CPU onto all other CPUs, and also simplifies the
code a little bit.

Follow-up commits will simplify the counter-snapshotting algorithm
and convert a number of the counters that are now protected by the
