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 df1e849ae4 rcu: Enable tick for nohz_full CPUs slow to provide expedited QS
An expedited grace period can be stalled by a nohz_full CPU looping
in kernel context.  This possibility is currently handled by some
carefully crafted checks in rcu_read_unlock_special() that enlist help
from ksoftirqd when permitted by the scheduler.  However, it is exactly
these checks that require the scheduler avoid holding any of its rq or
pi locks across rcu_read_unlock() without also having held them across
the entire RCU read-side critical section.

It would therefore be very nice if expedited grace periods could
handle nohz_full CPUs looping in kernel context without such checks.
This commit therefore adds code to the expedited grace period's wait
and cleanup code that forces the scheduler-clock interrupt on for CPUs
that fail to quickly supply a quiescent state.  "Quickly" is currently
a hard-coded single-jiffy delay.

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 81c0b3d724 rcu/nocb: Avoid ->nocb_lock capture by corresponding CPU
A given rcu_data structure's ->nocb_lock can be acquired very frequently
by the corresponding CPU and occasionally by the corresponding no-CBs
grace-period and callbacks kthreads.  In particular, these two kthreads
will have frequent gaps between ->nocb_lock acquisitions that are roughly
a grace period in duration.  This means that any excessive ->nocb_lock
contention will be due to the CPU's acquisitions, and this in turn
enables a very naive contention-avoidance strategy to be quite effective.

This commit therefore modifies rcu_nocb_lock() to first
attempt a raw_spin_trylock(), and to atomically increment a
separate ->nocb_lock_contended across a raw_spin_lock().  This new
->nocb_lock_contended field is checked in __call_rcu_nocb_wake() when
interrupts are enabled, with a spin-wait for contending acquisitions
to complete, thus allowing the kthreads a chance to acquire the lock.

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.

As a first step towards making no-CBs CPUs use the ->cblist, this commit
leaves the ->cblist enabled for these CPUs.  The main reason to make
no-CBs CPUs use ->cblist is to take advantage of callback numbering,
which will reduce the effects of missed grace periods which in turn will
reduce forward-progress problems for no-CBs CPUs.

Paul E. McKenney 12f54c3a84 rcu/nocb: Provide separate no-CBs grace-period kthreads
Currently, there is one no-CBs rcuo kthread per CPU, and these kthreads
are divided into groups.  The first rcuo kthread to come online in a
given group is that group's leader, and the leader both waits for grace
periods and invokes its CPU's callbacks.  The non-leader rcuo kthreads
only invoke callbacks.

This works well in the real-time/embedded environments for which it was
intended because such environments tend not to generate all that many
callbacks.  However, given huge floods of callbacks, it is possible for
the leader kthread to be stuck invoking callbacks while its followers
wait helplessly while their callbacks pile up.  This is a good recipe
for an OOM, and rcutorture's new callback-flood capability does generate
such OOMs.

One strategy would be to wait until such OOMs start happening in
production, but similar OOMs have in fact happened starting in 2018.
It would therefore be wise to take a more proactive approach.

This commit therefore features per-CPU rcuo kthreads that do nothing
but invoke callbacks.  Instead of having one of these kthreads act as
leader, each group has a separate rcog kthread that handles grace periods
for its group.  Because these rcuog kthreads do not invoke callbacks,
callback floods on one CPU no longer block callbacks from reaching the
rcuc callback-invocation kthreads on other CPUs.

This change does introduce additional kthreads, however:

1.	The number of additional kthreads is about the square root of
	the number of CPUs, so that a 4096-CPU system would have only
	about 64 additional kthreads.  Note that recent changes
	decreased the number of rcuo kthreads by a factor of two
	(CONFIG_PREEMPT=n) or even three (CONFIG_PREEMPT=y), so
	this still represents a significant improvement on most systems.

2.	The leading "rcuo" of the rcuog kthreads should allow existing
	scripting to affinity these additional kthreads as needed, the
	same as for the rcuop and rcuos kthreads.  (There are no longer
	any rcuob kthreads.)

3.	A state-machine approach was considered and rejected.  Although
	this would allow the rcuo kthreads to continue their dual
	leader/follower roles, it complicates callback invocation
	and makes it more difficult to consolidate rcuo callback
	invocation with existing softirq callback invocation.

The introduction of rcuog kthreads should thus be acceptable.

Paul E. McKenney 0864f057b0 rcu: Use irq_work to get scheduler's attention in clean context
When rcu_read_unlock_special() is invoked with interrupts disabled, is
either not in an interrupt handler or is not using RCU_SOFTIRQ, is not
the first RCU read-side critical section in the chain, and either there
is an expedited grace period in flight or this is a NO_HZ_FULL kernel,
the end of the grace period can be unduly delayed.  The reason for this
is that it is not safe to do wakeups in this situation.

This commit fixes this problem by using the irq_work subsystem to
force a later interrupt handler in a clean environment.  Because
set_tsk_need_resched(current) and set_preempt_need_resched() are
invoked prior to this, the scheduler will force a context switch
upon return from this interrupt (though perhaps at the end of any
interrupted preempt-disable or BH-disable region of code), which will
invoke rcu_note_context_switch() (again in a clean environment), which
will in turn give RCU the chance to report the deferred quiescent state.

Of course, by then this task might be within another RCU read-side
critical section.  But that will be detected at that time and reporting
will be further deferred to the outermost rcu_read_unlock().  See
rcu_preempt_need_deferred_qs() and rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() for more
details on the checking.

Some workloads need to change kthread priority for RCU core processing
without affecting other softirq work.  This commit therefore introduces
the rcutree.use_softirq kernel boot parameter, which moves the RCU core
work from softirq to a per-CPU SCHED_OTHER kthread named rcuc.  Use of
SCHED_OTHER approach avoids the scalability problems that appeared
with the earlier attempt to move RCU core processing to from softirq
to kthreads.  That said, kernels built with RCU_BOOST=y will run the
rcuc kthreads at the RCU-boosting priority.

Note that rcutree.use_softirq=0 must be specified to move RCU core
processing to the rcuc kthreads: rcutree.use_softirq=1 is the default.

Sebastian Andrzej Siewior e81baf4cb1 srcu: Remove srcu_queue_delayed_work_on()
srcu_queue_delayed_work_on() disables preemption (and therefore CPU
hotplug in RCU's case) and then checks based on its own accounting if a
CPU is online. If the CPU is online it uses queue_delayed_work_on()
otherwise it fallbacks to queue_delayed_work().
The problem here is that queue_work() on -RT does not work with disabled
preemption.

queue_work_on() works also on an offlined CPU. queue_delayed_work_on()
has the problem that it is possible to program a timer on an offlined
CPU. This timer will fire once the CPU is online again. But until then,
the timer remains programmed and nothing will happen.

Add a local timer which will fire (as requested per delay) on the local
CPU and then enqueue the work on the specific CPU.

RCUtorture testing with SRCU-P for 24h showed no problems.

Paul E. McKenney c98cac603f rcu: Rename rcu_check_callbacks() to rcu_sched_clock_irq()
The name rcu_check_callbacks() arguably made sense back in the early
2000s when RCU was quite a bit simpler than it is today, but it has
become quite misleading, especially with the advent of dyntick-idle
and NO_HZ_FULL.  The rcu_check_callbacks() function is RCU's hook into
the scheduling-clock interrupt, and is now but one of many ways that
callbacks get promoted to invocable state.

This commit therefore changes the name to rcu_sched_clock_irq(),
which is the same number of characters and clearly indicates this
function's relation to the rest of the Linux kernel.  In addition, for
the sake of consistency, rcu_flavor_check_callbacks() is also renamed
to rcu_flavor_sched_clock_irq().

While in the area, the header comments for both functions are reworked.

Paul E. McKenney fd897573fa rcu: Improve diagnostics for failed RCU grace-period start
If a grace period fails to start (for example, because you commented
out the last two lines of rcu_accelerate_cbs_unlocked()), rcu_core()
will invoke rcu_check_gp_start_stall(), which will notice and complain.
However, this complaint is lacking crucial debugging information such
as when the last wakeup executed and what the value of ->gp_seq was at
that time.  This commit therefore removes the current pr_alert() from
rcu_check_gp_start_stall(), instead invoking show_rcu_gp_kthreads(),
which has been updated to print the needed information, which is collected
by rcu_gp_kthread_wake().

Paul E. McKenney 260e1e4fd8 rcu: Discard separate per-CPU callback counts
Back when there were multiple flavors of RCU, it was necessary to
separately count lazy and non-lazy callbacks for each CPU.  These counts
were used in CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ kernels to determine how long a newly
idle CPU should be allowed to sleep before handling its RCU callbacks.
But now that there is only one flavor, the callback counts for a given
CPU's sole rcu_data structure are the counts for that CPU.

This commit therefore removes the rcu_data structure's ->nonlazy_posted
and ->nonlazy_posted_snap fields, the rcu_idle_count_callbacks_posted()
and rcu_cpu_has_callbacks() functions, repurposes the rcu_data structure's
->all_lazy field to record the laziness state at the beginning of the
latest idle sojourn, and modifies CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ RCU CPU stall
warnings accordingly.

Paul E. McKenney 142d106d5e rcu: Determine expedited-GP IPI handler at build time
Back when there could be multiple RCU flavors running in the same kernel
at the same time, it was necessary to specify the expedited grace-period
IPI handler at runtime.  Now that there is only one RCU flavor, the
IPI handler can be determined at build time.  There is therefore no
longer any reason for the RCU-preempt and RCU-sched IPI handlers to
have different names, nor is there any reason to pass these handlers in
function arguments and in the data structures enclosing workqueues.

This commit therefore makes all these changes, pushing the specification
of the expedited grace-period IPI handler down to the point of use.

Paul E. McKenney 903ee83d91 rcu: Account for nocb-CPU callback counts in RCU CPU stall warnings
The RCU CPU stall warnings print an estimate of the total number of
RCU callbacks queued in the system, but this estimate leaves out
the callbacks queued for nocbs CPUs.  This commit therefore introduces
rcu_get_n_cbs_cpu(), which gives an accurate callback estimate for
both nocbs and normal CPUs, and uses this new function as needed.

This commit also introduces a rcu_get_n_cbs_nocb_cpu() helper function
that returns the number of callbacks for nocbs CPUs or zero otherwise,
and also uses this function in place of direct access to ->nocb_q_count
while in the area (fewer characters, you see).
