rcu: Merge preemptable-RCU functionality into hierarchical RCU Create a kernel/rcutree_plugin.h file that contains definitions for preemptable RCU (or, under the #else branch of the #ifdef, empty definitions for the classic non-preemptable semantics). These definitions fit into plugins defined in kernel/rcutree.c for this purpose. This variant of preemptable RCU uses a new algorithm whose read-side expense is roughly that of classic hierarchical RCU under CONFIG_PREEMPT. This new algorithm's update-side expense is similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence of read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic hierarchical RCU. Perhaps more important, this new algorithm has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new algorithm. The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations over the past 18 months.

nohz_full: Add full-system-idle state machine This commit adds the state machine that takes the per-CPU idle data as input and produces a full-system-idle indication as output. This state machine is driven out of RCU's quiescent-state-forcing mechanism, which invokes rcu_sysidle_check_cpu() to collect per-CPU idle state and then rcu_sysidle_report() to drive the state machine. The full-system-idle state is sampled using rcu_sys_is_idle(), which also drives the state machine if RCU is idle (and does so by forcing RCU to become non-idle). This function returns true if all but the timekeeping CPU (tick_do_timer_cpu) are idle and have been idle long enough to avoid memory contention on the full_sysidle_state state variable. The rcu_sysidle_force_exit() may be called externally to reset the state machine back into non-idle state. For large systems the state machine is driven out of RCU's force-quiescent-state logic, which provides good scalability at the price of millisecond-scale latencies on the transition to full-system-idle state. This is not so good for battery-powered systems, which are usually small enough that they don't need to care about scalability, but which do care deeply about energy efficiency. Small systems therefore drive the state machine directly out of the idle-entry code. The number of CPUs in a "small" system is defined by a new NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE_SMALL Kconfig parameter, which defaults to 8. Note that this is a build-time definition. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Make rcu_nocb_poll an early_param instead of module_param The as-documented rcu_nocb_poll will fail to enable this feature for two reasons. (1) there is an extra "s" in the documented name which is not in the code, and (2) since it uses module_param, it really is expecting a prefix, akin to "rcutree.fanout_leaf" and the prefix isn't documented. However, there are several reasons why we might not want to simply fix the typo and add the prefix: 1) we'd end up with rcutree.rcu_nocb_poll, and rather probably make a change to rcutree.nocb_poll 2) if we did #1, then the prefix wouldn't be consistent with the rcu_nocbs=<cpumap> parameter (i.e. one with, one without prefix) 3) the use of module_param in a header file is less than desired, since it isn't immediately obvious that it will get processed via rcutree.c and get the prefix from that (although use of module_param_named() could clarify that.) 4) the implied export of /sys/module/rcutree/parameters/rcu_nocb_poll data to userspace via module_param() doesn't really buy us anything, as it is read-only and we can tell if it is enabled already without it, since there is a printk at early boot telling us so. In light of all that, just change it from a module_param() to an early_setup() call, and worry about adding it to /sys later on if we decide to allow a dynamic setting of it. Also change the variable to be tagged as read_mostly, since it will only ever be fiddled with at most, once at boot.

rcu: refactor RCU's context-switch handling The addition of preemptible RCU to treercu resulted in a bit of confusion and inefficiency surrounding the handling of context switches for RCU-sched and for RCU-preempt. For RCU-sched, a context switch is a quiescent state, pure and simple, just like it always has been. For RCU-preempt, a context switch is in no way a quiescent state, but special handling is required when a task blocks in an RCU read-side critical section. However, the callout from the scheduler and the outer loop in ksoftirqd still calls something named rcu_sched_qs(), whose name is no longer accurate. Furthermore, when rcu_check_callbacks() notes an RCU-sched quiescent state, it ends up unnecessarily (though harmlessly, aside from the performance hit) enqueuing the current task if it happens to be running in an RCU-preempt read-side critical section. This not only increases the maximum latency of scheduler_tick(), it also needlessly increases the overhead of the next outermost rcu_read_unlock() invocation. This patch addresses this situation by separating the notion of RCU's context-switch handling from that of RCU-sched's quiescent states. The context-switch handling is covered by rcu_note_context_switch() in general and by rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() for preemptible RCU. This permits rcu_sched_qs() to handle quiescent states and only quiescent states. It also reduces the maximum latency of scheduler_tick(), though probably by much less than a microsecond.

These definitions fit into plugins defined in kernel/rcutree.c for this purpose. This variant of preemptable RCU uses a new algorithm whose read-side expense is roughly that of classic hierarchical RCU under CONFIG_PREEMPT. This new algorithm's update-side expense is similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence of read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic hierarchical RCU. Perhaps more important, this new algorithm has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new algorithm. The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations over the past 18 months.

rcu: refactor RCU's context-switch handling The addition of preemptible RCU to treercu resulted in a bit of confusion and inefficiency surrounding the handling of context switches for RCU-sched and for RCU-preempt. For RCU-sched, a context switch is a quiescent state, pure and simple, just like it always has been. For RCU-preempt, a context switch is in no way a quiescent state, but special handling is required when a task blocks in an RCU read-side critical section. However, the callout from the scheduler and the outer loop in ksoftirqd still calls something named rcu_sched_qs(), whose name is no longer accurate. Furthermore, when rcu_check_callbacks() notes an RCU-sched quiescent state, it ends up unnecessarily (though harmlessly, aside from the performance hit) enqueuing the current task if it happens to be running in an RCU-preempt read-side critical section. This not only increases the maximum latency of scheduler_tick(), it also needlessly increases the overhead of the next outermost rcu_read_unlock() invocation. This patch addresses this situation by separating the notion of RCU's context-switch handling from that of RCU-sched's quiescent states. The context-switch handling is covered by rcu_note_context_switch() in general and by rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() for preemptible RCU. This permits rcu_sched_qs() to handle quiescent states and only quiescent states. It also reduces the maximum latency of scheduler_tick(), though probably by much less than a microsecond. Finally, it means that tasks within preemptible-RCU read-side critical sections avoid incurring the overhead of queuing unless there really is a context switch.

rcu: Simplify quiescent-state accounting There is often a delay between the time that a CPU passes through a quiescent state and the time that this quiescent state is reported to the RCU core. It is quite possible that the grace period ended before the quiescent state could be reported, for example, some other CPU might have deduced that this CPU passed through dyntick-idle mode. It is critically important that quiescent state be counted only against the grace period that was in effect at the time that the quiescent state was detected. Previously, this was handled by recording the number of the last grace period to complete when passing through a quiescent state. The RCU core then checks this number against the current value, and rejects the quiescent state if there is a mismatch. However, one additional possibility must be accounted for, namely that the quiescent state was recorded after the prior grace period completed but before the current grace period started. In this case, the RCU core must reject the quiescent state, but the recorded number will match. This is handled when the CPU becomes aware of a new grace period -- at that point, it invalidates any prior quiescent state. This works, but is a bit indirect. The new approach records the current grace period, and the RCU core checks to see (1) that this is still the current grace period and (2) that this grace period has not yet ended. This approach simplifies reasoning about correctness, and this commit changes over to this new approach. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Have the RCU tracepoints use the tracepoint_string infrastructure Currently, RCU tracepoints save only a pointer to strings in the ring buffer. When displayed via the /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace file they are referenced like the printf "%s" that looks at the address in the ring buffer and prints out the string it points too. This requires that the strings are constant and persistent in the kernel. The problem with this is for tools like trace-cmd and perf that read the binary data from the buffers but have no access to the kernel memory to find out what string is represented by the address in the buffer. By using the tracepoint_string infrastructure, the RCU tracepoint strings can be exported such that userspace tools can map the addresses to the strings. # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/printk_formats 0xffffffff81a4a0e8 : "rcu_preempt" 0xffffffff81a4a0f4 : "rcu_bh" 0xffffffff81a4a100 : "rcu_sched" 0xffffffff818437a0 : "cpuqs" 0xffffffff818437a6 : "rcu_sched" 0xffffffff818437a0 : "cpuqs" 0xffffffff818437b0 : "rcu_bh" 0xffffffff818437b7 : "Start context switch" 0xffffffff818437cc : "End context switch" 0xffffffff818437a0 : "cpuqs" [...] Now userspaces tools can display: rcu_utilization: Start context switch rcu_dyntick: Start 1 0 rcu_utilization: End context switch rcu_batch_start: rcu_preempt CBs=0/5 bl=10 rcu_dyntick: End 0 140000000000000 rcu_invoke_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880071c0d600 func=proc_i_callback rcu_invoke_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880077b5b230 func=__d_free rcu_dyntick: Start 140000000000000 0 rcu_invoke_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880077563980 func=file_free_rcu rcu_batch_end: rcu_preempt CBs-invoked=3 idle=>c<>c<>c<>c< rcu_utilization: End RCU core rcu_grace_period: rcu_preempt 9741 start rcu_dyntick: Start 1 0 rcu_dyntick: End 0 140000000000000 rcu_dyntick: Start 140000000000000 0 Instead of: rcu_utilization: ffffffff81843110 rcu_future_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 9939 9940 0 0 3 ffffffff81842f32 rcu_batch_start: ffffffff81842f1d CBs=0/4 bl=10 rcu_future_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 9939 9940 0 0 3 ffffffff81842f3c rcu_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 ffffffff81842f80 rcu_invoke_callback: ffffffff81842f1d rhp=0xffff88007888aac0 func=file_free_rcu rcu_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 ffffffff81842f95 rcu_invoke_callback: ffffffff81842f1d rhp=0xffff88006aeb4600 func=proc_i_callback rcu_future_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 9939 9940 0 0 3 ffffffff81842f32 rcu_future_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 9939 9940 0 0 3 ffffffff81842f3c rcu_invoke_callback: ffffffff81842f1d rhp=0xffff880071cb9fc0 func=__d_free rcu_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 ffffffff81842f80 rcu_invoke_callback: ffffffff81842f1d rhp=0xffff88007888ae80 func=file_free_rcu rcu_batch_end: ffffffff81842f1d CBs-invoked=4 idle=>c<>c<>c<>c< rcu_utilization: ffffffff8184311f Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

rcu: protect __rcu_read_unlock() against scheduler-using irq handlers The addition of RCU read-side critical sections within runqueue and priority-inheritance lock critical sections introduced some deadlock cycles, for example, involving interrupts from __rcu_read_unlock() where the interrupt handlers call wake_up(). This situation can cause the instance of __rcu_read_unlock() invoked from interrupt to do some of the processing that would otherwise have been carried out by the task-level instance of __rcu_read_unlock(). When the interrupt-level instance of __rcu_read_unlock() is called with a scheduler lock held from interrupt-entry/exit situations where in_irq() returns false, deadlock can result. This commit resolves these deadlocks by using negative values of the per-task ->rcu_read_lock_nesting counter to indicate that an instance of __rcu_read_unlock() is in flight, which in turn prevents instances from interrupt handlers from doing any special processing. This patch is inspired by Steven Rostedt's earlier patch that similarly made __rcu_read_unlock() guard against interrupt-mediated recursion (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/15/326), but this commit refines Steven's approach to avoid the need for preemption disabling on the __rcu_read_unlock() fastpath and to also avoid the need for manipulating a separate per-CPU variable. This patch avoids need for preempt_disable() by instead using negative values of the per-task ->rcu_read_lock_nesting counter. Note that nested rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs are still permitted, but they will never see ->rcu_read_lock_nesting go to zero, and will therefore never invoke rcu_read_unlock_special(), thus preventing them from seeing the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED bit should it be set in ->rcu_read_unlock_special. This patch also adds a check for ->rcu_read_unlock_special being negative in rcu_check_callbacks(), thus preventing the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_NEED_QS bit from being set should a scheduling-clock interrupt occur while __rcu_read_unlock() is exiting from an outermost RCU read-side critical section. Of course, __rcu_read_unlock() can be preempted during the time that ->rcu_read_lock_nesting is negative. This could result in the setting of the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED bit after __rcu_read_unlock() checks it, and would also result it this task being queued on the corresponding rcu_node structure's blkd_tasks list. Therefore, some later RCU read-side critical section would enter rcu_read_unlock_special() to clean up -- which could result in deadlock if that critical section happened to be in the scheduler where the runqueue or priority-inheritance locks were held. This situation is dealt with by making rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() check for negative ->rcu_read_lock_nesting, thus refraining from queuing the task (and from setting RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED) if we are already exiting from the outermost RCU read-side critical section (in other words, we really are no longer actually in that RCU read-side critical section). In addition, rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() invokes rcu_read_unlock_special() to carry out the cleanup in this case, which clears out the ->rcu_read_unlock_special bits and dequeues the task (if necessary), in turn avoiding needless delay of the current RCU grace period and needless RCU priority boosting. It is still illegal to call rcu_read_unlock() while holding a scheduler lock if the prior RCU read-side critical section has ever had either preemption or irqs enabled. However, the common use case is legal, namely where then entire RCU read-side critical section executes with irqs disabled, for example, when the scheduler lock is held across the entire lifetime of the RCU read-side critical section.

These definitions fit into plugins defined in kernel/rcutree.c for this purpose. This variant of preemptable RCU uses a new algorithm whose read-side expense is roughly that of classic hierarchical RCU under CONFIG_PREEMPT. This new algorithm's update-side expense is similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence of read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic hierarchical RCU. Perhaps more important, this new algorithm has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new algorithm. The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations over the past 18 months.

rcu: protect __rcu_read_unlock() against scheduler-using irq handlers The addition of RCU read-side critical sections within runqueue and priority-inheritance lock critical sections introduced some deadlock cycles, for example, involving interrupts from __rcu_read_unlock() where the interrupt handlers call wake_up(). This situation can cause the instance of __rcu_read_unlock() invoked from interrupt to do some of the processing that would otherwise have been carried out by the task-level instance of __rcu_read_unlock(). When the interrupt-level instance of __rcu_read_unlock() is called with a scheduler lock held from interrupt-entry/exit situations where in_irq() returns false, deadlock can result. This commit resolves these deadlocks by using negative values of the per-task ->rcu_read_lock_nesting counter to indicate that an instance of __rcu_read_unlock() is in flight, which in turn prevents instances from interrupt handlers from doing any special processing. This patch is inspired by Steven Rostedt's earlier patch that similarly made __rcu_read_unlock() guard against interrupt-mediated recursion (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/15/326), but this commit refines Steven's approach to avoid the need for preemption disabling on the __rcu_read_unlock() fastpath and to also avoid the need for manipulating a separate per-CPU variable. This patch avoids need for preempt_disable() by instead using negative values of the per-task ->rcu_read_lock_nesting counter. Note that nested rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs are still permitted, but they will never see ->rcu_read_lock_nesting go to zero, and will therefore never invoke rcu_read_unlock_special(), thus preventing them from seeing the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED bit should it be set in ->rcu_read_unlock_special. This patch also adds a check for ->rcu_read_unlock_special being negative in rcu_check_callbacks(), thus preventing the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_NEED_QS bit from being set should a scheduling-clock interrupt occur while __rcu_read_unlock() is exiting from an outermost RCU read-side critical section. Of course, __rcu_read_unlock() can be preempted during the time that ->rcu_read_lock_nesting is negative. This could result in the setting of the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED bit after __rcu_read_unlock() checks it, and would also result it this task being queued on the corresponding rcu_node structure's blkd_tasks list. Therefore, some later RCU read-side critical section would enter rcu_read_unlock_special() to clean up -- which could result in deadlock if that critical section happened to be in the scheduler where the runqueue or priority-inheritance locks were held. This situation is dealt with by making rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() check for negative ->rcu_read_lock_nesting, thus refraining from queuing the task (and from setting RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED) if we are already exiting from the outermost RCU read-side critical section (in other words, we really are no longer actually in that RCU read-side critical section). In addition, rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() invokes rcu_read_unlock_special() to carry out the cleanup in this case, which clears out the ->rcu_read_unlock_special bits and dequeues the task (if necessary), in turn avoiding needless delay of the current RCU grace period and needless RCU priority boosting. It is still illegal to call rcu_read_unlock() while holding a scheduler lock if the prior RCU read-side critical section has ever had either preemption or irqs enabled. However, the common use case is legal, namely where then entire RCU read-side critical section executes with irqs disabled, for example, when the scheduler lock is held across the entire lifetime of the RCU read-side critical section.

rcu: Fix grace-period-stall bug on large systems with CPU hotplug When the last CPU of a given leaf rcu_node structure goes offline, all of the tasks queued on that leaf rcu_node structure (due to having blocked in their current RCU read-side critical sections) are requeued onto the root rcu_node structure. This requeuing is carried out by rcu_preempt_offline_tasks(). However, it is possible that these queued tasks are the only thing preventing the leaf rcu_node structure from reporting a quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy. Unfortunately, the old code would fail to do this reporting, resulting in a grace-period stall given the following sequence of events: 1. Kernel built for more than 32 CPUs on 32-bit systems or for more than 64 CPUs on 64-bit systems, so that there is more than one rcu_node structure. (Or CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT is artificially set to a number smaller than CONFIG_NR_CPUS.) 2. The kernel is built with CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU. 3. A task running on a CPU associated with a given leaf rcu_node structure blocks while in an RCU read-side critical section -and- that CPU has not yet passed through a quiescent state for the current RCU grace period. This will cause the task to be queued on the leaf rcu_node's blocked_tasks[] array, in particular, on the element of this array corresponding to the current grace period. 4. Each of the remaining CPUs corresponding to this same leaf rcu_node structure pass through a quiescent state. However, the task is still in its RCU read-side critical section, so these quiescent states cannot be reported further up the rcu_node hierarchy. Nevertheless, all bits in the leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask field are now zero. 5. Each of the remaining CPUs go offline. (The events in step #4 and #5 can happen in any order as long as each CPU passes through a quiescent state before going offline.) 6. When the last CPU goes offline, __rcu_offline_cpu() will invoke rcu_preempt_offline_tasks(), which will move the task to the root rcu_node structure, but without reporting a quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy (and this failure to report a quiescent state is the bug). But because this leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask field is already zero and its ->block_tasks[] entries are all empty, force_quiescent_state() will skip this rcu_node structure. Therefore, grace periods are now hung. This patch abstracts some code out of rcu_read_unlock_special(), calling the result task_quiet() by analogy with cpu_quiet(), and invokes task_quiet() from both rcu_read_lock_special() and __rcu_offline_cpu(). Invoking task_quiet() from __rcu_offline_cpu() reports the quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy, fixing the bug.

rcu: Rename "quiet" functions The number of "quiet" functions has grown recently, and the names are no longer very descriptive. The point of all of these functions is to do some portion of the task of reporting a quiescent state, so rename them accordingly: o cpu_quiet() becomes rcu_report_qs_rdp(), which reports a quiescent state to the per-CPU rcu_data structure. If this turns out to be a new quiescent state for this grace period, then rcu_report_qs_rnp() will be invoked to propagate the quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy. o cpu_quiet_msk() becomes rcu_report_qs_rnp(), which reports a quiescent state for a given CPU (or possibly a set of CPUs) up the rcu_node hierarchy. o cpu_quiet_msk_finish() becomes rcu_report_qs_rsp(), which reports a full set of quiescent states to the global rcu_state structure. o task_quiet() becomes rcu_report_unblock_qs_rnp(), which reports a quiescent state due to a task exiting an RCU read-side critical section that had previously blocked in that same critical section. As indicated by the new name, this type of quiescent state is reported up the rcu_node hierarchy (using rcu_report_qs_rnp() to do so). Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Rename "quiet" functions The number of "quiet" functions has grown recently, and the names are no longer very descriptive. The point of all of these functions is to do some portion of the task of reporting a quiescent state, so rename them accordingly: o cpu_quiet() becomes rcu_report_qs_rdp(), which reports a quiescent state to the per-CPU rcu_data structure. If this turns out to be a new quiescent state for this grace period, then rcu_report_qs_rnp() will be invoked to propagate the quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy. o cpu_quiet_msk() becomes rcu_report_qs_rnp(), which reports a quiescent state for a given CPU (or possibly a set of CPUs) up the rcu_node hierarchy. o cpu_quiet_msk_finish() becomes rcu_report_qs_rsp(), which reports a full set of quiescent states to the global rcu_state structure. o task_quiet() becomes rcu_report_unblock_qs_rnp(), which reports a quiescent state due to a task exiting an RCU read-side critical section that had previously blocked in that same critical section. As indicated by the new name, this type of quiescent state is reported up the rcu_node hierarchy (using rcu_report_qs_rnp() to do so). Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Fix grace-period-stall bug on large systems with CPU hotplug When the last CPU of a given leaf rcu_node structure goes offline, all of the tasks queued on that leaf rcu_node structure (due to having blocked in their current RCU read-side critical sections) are requeued onto the root rcu_node structure. This requeuing is carried out by rcu_preempt_offline_tasks(). However, it is possible that these queued tasks are the only thing preventing the leaf rcu_node structure from reporting a quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy. Unfortunately, the old code would fail to do this reporting, resulting in a grace-period stall given the following sequence of events: 1. Kernel built for more than 32 CPUs on 32-bit systems or for more than 64 CPUs on 64-bit systems, so that there is more than one rcu_node structure. (Or CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT is artificially set to a number smaller than CONFIG_NR_CPUS.) 2. The kernel is built with CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU. 3. A task running on a CPU associated with a given leaf rcu_node structure blocks while in an RCU read-side critical section -and- that CPU has not yet passed through a quiescent state for the current RCU grace period. This will cause the task to be queued on the leaf rcu_node's blocked_tasks[] array, in particular, on the element of this array corresponding to the current grace period. 4. Each of the remaining CPUs corresponding to this same leaf rcu_node structure pass through a quiescent state. However, the task is still in its RCU read-side critical section, so these quiescent states cannot be reported further up the rcu_node hierarchy. Nevertheless, all bits in the leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask field are now zero. 5. Each of the remaining CPUs go offline. (The events in step #4 and #5 can happen in any order as long as each CPU passes through a quiescent state before going offline.) 6. When the last CPU goes offline, __rcu_offline_cpu() will invoke rcu_preempt_offline_tasks(), which will move the task to the root rcu_node structure, but without reporting a quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy (and this failure to report a quiescent state is the bug). But because this leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask field is already zero and its ->block_tasks[] entries are all empty, force_quiescent_state() will skip this rcu_node structure. Therefore, grace periods are now hung. This patch abstracts some code out of rcu_read_unlock_special(), calling the result task_quiet() by analogy with cpu_quiet(), and invokes task_quiet() from both rcu_read_lock_special() and __rcu_offline_cpu().

rcu: Avoid RCU-preempt expedited grace-period botch Because rcu_read_unlock_special() samples rcu_preempted_readers_exp(rnp) after dropping rnp->lock, the following sequence of events is possible: 1. Task A exits its RCU read-side critical section, and removes itself from the ->blkd_tasks list, releases rnp->lock, and is then preempted. Task B remains on the ->blkd_tasks list, and blocks the current expedited grace period. 2. Task B exits from its RCU read-side critical section and removes itself from the ->blkd_tasks list. Because it is the last task blocking the current expedited grace period, it ends that expedited grace period. 3. Task A resumes, and samples rcu_preempted_readers_exp(rnp) which of course indicates that nothing is blocking the nonexistent expedited grace period. Task A is again preempted. 4. Some other CPU starts an expedited grace period. There are several tasks blocking this expedited grace period queued on the same rcu_node structure that Task A was using in step 1 above. 5. Task A examines its state and incorrectly concludes that it was the last task blocking the expedited grace period on the current rcu_node structure. It therefore reports completion up the rcu_node tree. 6. The expedited grace period can then incorrectly complete before the tasks blocked on this same rcu_node structure exit their RCU read-side critical sections. Arbitrarily bad things happen. This commit therefore takes a snapshot of rcu_preempted_readers_exp(rnp) prior to dropping the lock, so that only the last task thinks that it is the last task, thus avoiding the failure scenario laid out above.

softirq,rcu: Inform RCU of irq_exit() activity The rcu_read_unlock_special() function relies on in_irq() to exclude scheduler activity from interrupt level. This fails because exit_irq() can invoke the scheduler after clearing the preempt_count() bits that in_irq() uses to determine that it is at interrupt level. This situation can result in failures as follows: $task IRQ SoftIRQ rcu_read_lock() /* do stuff */ <preempt> |= UNLOCK_BLOCKED rcu_read_unlock() --t->rcu_read_lock_nesting irq_enter(); /* do stuff, don't use RCU */ irq_exit(); sub_preempt_count(IRQ_EXIT_OFFSET); invoke_softirq() ttwu(); spin_lock_irq(&pi->lock) rcu_read_lock(); /* do stuff */ rcu_read_unlock(); rcu_read_unlock_special() rcu_report_exp_rnp() ttwu() spin_lock_irq(&pi->lock) /* deadlock */ rcu_read_unlock_special(t); Ed can simply trigger this 'easy' because invoke_softirq() immediately does a ttwu() of ksoftirqd/# instead of doing the in-place softirq stuff first, but even without that the above happens. Cure this by also excluding softirqs from the rcu_read_unlock_special() handler and ensuring the force_irqthreads ksoftirqd/# wakeup is done from full softirq context. [ Alternatively, delaying the ->rcu_read_lock_nesting decrement until after the special handling would make the thing more robust in the face of interrupts as well.

rcu: Merge preemptable-RCU functionality into hierarchical RCU Create a kernel/rcutree_plugin.h file that contains definitions for preemptable RCU (or, under the #else branch of the #ifdef, empty definitions for the classic non-preemptable semantics). These definitions fit into plugins defined in kernel/rcutree.c for this purpose. This variant of preemptable RCU uses a new algorithm whose read-side expense is roughly that of classic hierarchical RCU under CONFIG_PREEMPT. This new algorithm's update-side expense is similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence of read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic hierarchical RCU. Perhaps more important, this new algorithm has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new algorithm. The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations over the past 18 months.

rcu: Have the RCU tracepoints use the tracepoint_string infrastructure Currently, RCU tracepoints save only a pointer to strings in the ring buffer. When displayed via the /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace file they are referenced like the printf "%s" that looks at the address in the ring buffer and prints out the string it points too. This requires that the strings are constant and persistent in the kernel. The problem with this is for tools like trace-cmd and perf that read the binary data from the buffers but have no access to the kernel memory to find out what string is represented by the address in the buffer. By using the tracepoint_string infrastructure, the RCU tracepoint strings can be exported such that userspace tools can map the addresses to the strings. # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/printk_formats 0xffffffff81a4a0e8 : "rcu_preempt" 0xffffffff81a4a0f4 : "rcu_bh" 0xffffffff81a4a100 : "rcu_sched" 0xffffffff818437a0 : "cpuqs" 0xffffffff818437a6 : "rcu_sched" 0xffffffff818437a0 : "cpuqs" 0xffffffff818437b0 : "rcu_bh" 0xffffffff818437b7 : "Start context switch" 0xffffffff818437cc : "End context switch" 0xffffffff818437a0 : "cpuqs" [...] Now userspaces tools can display: rcu_utilization: Start context switch rcu_dyntick: Start 1 0 rcu_utilization: End context switch rcu_batch_start: rcu_preempt CBs=0/5 bl=10 rcu_dyntick: End 0 140000000000000 rcu_invoke_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880071c0d600 func=proc_i_callback rcu_invoke_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880077b5b230 func=__d_free rcu_dyntick: Start 140000000000000 0 rcu_invoke_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880077563980 func=file_free_rcu rcu_batch_end: rcu_preempt CBs-invoked=3 idle=>c<>c<>c<>c< rcu_utilization: End RCU core rcu_grace_period: rcu_preempt 9741 start rcu_dyntick: Start 1 0 rcu_dyntick: End 0 140000000000000 rcu_dyntick: Start 140000000000000 0 Instead of: rcu_utilization: ffffffff81843110 rcu_future_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 9939 9940 0 0 3 ffffffff81842f32 rcu_batch_start: ffffffff81842f1d CBs=0/4 bl=10 rcu_future_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 9939 9940 0 0 3 ffffffff81842f3c rcu_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 ffffffff81842f80 rcu_invoke_callback: ffffffff81842f1d rhp=0xffff88007888aac0 func=file_free_rcu rcu_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 ffffffff81842f95 rcu_invoke_callback: ffffffff81842f1d rhp=0xffff88006aeb4600 func=proc_i_callback rcu_future_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 9939 9940 0 0 3 ffffffff81842f32 rcu_future_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 9939 9940 0 0 3 ffffffff81842f3c rcu_invoke_callback: ffffffff81842f1d rhp=0xffff880071cb9fc0 func=__d_free rcu_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 ffffffff81842f80 rcu_invoke_callback: ffffffff81842f1d rhp=0xffff88007888ae80 func=file_free_rcu rcu_batch_end: ffffffff81842f1d CBs-invoked=4 idle=>c<>c<>c<>c< rcu_utilization: ffffffff8184311f Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

rcu: Fix RCU_BOOST race handling current->rcu_read_unlock_special The RCU_BOOST commits for TREE_PREEMPT_RCU introduced an other-task write to a new RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BOOSTED bit in the task_struct structure's ->rcu_read_unlock_special field, but, as noted by Steven Rostedt, without correctly synchronizing all accesses to ->rcu_read_unlock_special. This could result in bits in ->rcu_read_unlock_special being spuriously set and cleared due to conflicting accesses, which in turn could result in deadlocks between the rcu_node structure's ->lock and the scheduler's rq and pi locks. These deadlocks would result from RCU incorrectly believing that the just-ended RCU read-side critical section had been preempted and/or boosted. If that RCU read-side critical section was executed with either rq or pi locks held, RCU's ensuing (incorrect) calls to the scheduler would cause the scheduler to attempt to once again acquire the rq and pi locks, resulting in deadlock. More complex deadlock cycles are also possible, involving multiple rq and pi locks as well as locks from multiple rcu_node structures. This commit fixes synchronization by creating ->rcu_boosted field in task_struct that is accessed and modified only when holding the ->lock in the rcu_node structure on which the task is queued (on that rcu_node structure's ->blkd_tasks list). This results in tasks accessing only their own current->rcu_read_unlock_special fields, making unsynchronized access once again legal, and keeping the rcu_read_unlock() fastpath free of atomic instructions and memory barriers. The reason that the rcu_read_unlock() fastpath does not need to access the new current->rcu_boosted field is that this new field cannot be non-zero unless the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED bit is set in the current->rcu_read_unlock_special field. Therefore, rcu_read_unlock() need only test current->rcu_read_unlock_special: if that is zero, then current->rcu_boosted must also be zero. This bug does not affect TINY_PREEMPT_RCU because this implementation of RCU accesses current->rcu_read_unlock_special with irqs disabled, thus preventing races on the !SMP systems that TINY_PREEMPT_RCU runs on.

rcu: Rename "quiet" functions The number of "quiet" functions has grown recently, and the names are no longer very descriptive. The point of all of these functions is to do some portion of the task of reporting a quiescent state, so rename them accordingly: o cpu_quiet() becomes rcu_report_qs_rdp(), which reports a quiescent state to the per-CPU rcu_data structure. If this turns out to be a new quiescent state for this grace period, then rcu_report_qs_rnp() will be invoked to propagate the quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy. o cpu_quiet_msk() becomes rcu_report_qs_rnp(), which reports a quiescent state for a given CPU (or possibly a set of CPUs) up the rcu_node hierarchy. o cpu_quiet_msk_finish() becomes rcu_report_qs_rsp(), which reports a full set of quiescent states to the global rcu_state structure. o task_quiet() becomes rcu_report_unblock_qs_rnp(), which reports a quiescent state due to a task exiting an RCU read-side critical section that had previously blocked in that same critical section. As indicated by the new name, this type of quiescent state is reported up the rcu_node hierarchy (using rcu_report_qs_rnp() to do so). Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Fix grace-period-stall bug on large systems with CPU hotplug When the last CPU of a given leaf rcu_node structure goes offline, all of the tasks queued on that leaf rcu_node structure (due to having blocked in their current RCU read-side critical sections) are requeued onto the root rcu_node structure. This requeuing is carried out by rcu_preempt_offline_tasks(). However, it is possible that these queued tasks are the only thing preventing the leaf rcu_node structure from reporting a quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy. Unfortunately, the old code would fail to do this reporting, resulting in a grace-period stall given the following sequence of events: 1. Kernel built for more than 32 CPUs on 32-bit systems or for more than 64 CPUs on 64-bit systems, so that there is more than one rcu_node structure. (Or CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT is artificially set to a number smaller than CONFIG_NR_CPUS.) 2. The kernel is built with CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU. 3. A task running on a CPU associated with a given leaf rcu_node structure blocks while in an RCU read-side critical section -and- that CPU has not yet passed through a quiescent state for the current RCU grace period. This will cause the task to be queued on the leaf rcu_node's blocked_tasks[] array, in particular, on the element of this array corresponding to the current grace period. 4. Each of the remaining CPUs corresponding to this same leaf rcu_node structure pass through a quiescent state. However, the task is still in its RCU read-side critical section, so these quiescent states cannot be reported further up the rcu_node hierarchy. Nevertheless, all bits in the leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask field are now zero. 5. Each of the remaining CPUs go offline. (The events in step #4 and #5 can happen in any order as long as each CPU passes through a quiescent state before going offline.) 6. When the last CPU goes offline, __rcu_offline_cpu() will invoke rcu_preempt_offline_tasks(), which will move the task to the root rcu_node structure, but without reporting a quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy (and this failure to report a quiescent state is the bug). But because this leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask field is already zero and its ->block_tasks[] entries are all empty, force_quiescent_state() will skip this rcu_node structure. Therefore, grace periods are now hung. This patch abstracts some code out of rcu_read_unlock_special(), calling the result task_quiet() by analogy with cpu_quiet(), and invokes task_quiet() from both rcu_read_lock_special() and __rcu_offline_cpu(). Invoking task_quiet() from __rcu_offline_cpu() reports the quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy, fixing the bug. This ends up requiring a separate lock_class_key per level of the rcu_node hierarchy, which this patch also provides. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

These definitions fit into plugins defined in kernel/rcutree.c for this purpose. This variant of preemptable RCU uses a new algorithm whose read-side expense is roughly that of classic hierarchical RCU under CONFIG_PREEMPT. This new algorithm's update-side expense is similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence of read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic hierarchical RCU. Perhaps more important, this new algorithm has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new algorithm. The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations over the past 18 months.

rcu: Fix grace-period-stall bug on large systems with CPU hotplug When the last CPU of a given leaf rcu_node structure goes offline, all of the tasks queued on that leaf rcu_node structure (due to having blocked in their current RCU read-side critical sections) are requeued onto the root rcu_node structure. This requeuing is carried out by rcu_preempt_offline_tasks(). However, it is possible that these queued tasks are the only thing preventing the leaf rcu_node structure from reporting a quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy. Unfortunately, the old code would fail to do this reporting, resulting in a grace-period stall given the following sequence of events: 1. Kernel built for more than 32 CPUs on 32-bit systems or for more than 64 CPUs on 64-bit systems, so that there is more than one rcu_node structure. (Or CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT is artificially set to a number smaller than CONFIG_NR_CPUS.) 2. The kernel is built with CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU. 3. A task running on a CPU associated with a given leaf rcu_node structure blocks while in an RCU read-side critical section -and- that CPU has not yet passed through a quiescent state for the current RCU grace period. This will cause the task to be queued on the leaf rcu_node's blocked_tasks[] array, in particular, on the element of this array corresponding to the current grace period. 4. Each of the remaining CPUs corresponding to this same leaf rcu_node structure pass through a quiescent state. However, the task is still in its RCU read-side critical section, so these quiescent states cannot be reported further up the rcu_node hierarchy. Nevertheless, all bits in the leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask field are now zero. 5. Each of the remaining CPUs go offline. (The events in step #4 and #5 can happen in any order as long as each CPU passes through a quiescent state before going offline.) 6. When the last CPU goes offline, __rcu_offline_cpu() will invoke rcu_preempt_offline_tasks(), which will move the task to the root rcu_node structure, but without reporting a quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy (and this failure to report a quiescent state is the bug). But because this leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask field is already zero and its ->block_tasks[] entries are all empty, force_quiescent_state() will skip this rcu_node structure. Therefore, grace periods are now hung. This patch abstracts some code out of rcu_read_unlock_special(), calling the result task_quiet() by analogy with cpu_quiet(), and invokes task_quiet() from both rcu_read_lock_special() and __rcu_offline_cpu(). Invoking task_quiet() from __rcu_offline_cpu() reports the quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy, fixing the bug.

Alternatively, a TREE_PREEMPT_RCU build of the kernel is booted with RCU_FANOUT set to a sufficiently small value that the physical CPUs populate two or more leaf rcu_node structures. o A task is preempted in an RCU read-side critical section while running on a CPU corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node structure. o All CPUs corresponding to this same leaf rcu_node structure record quiescent states for the current grace period. o All of these same CPUs go offline (hence the need for enough physical CPUs to populate more than one leaf rcu_node structure). This causes the preempted task to be moved to the root rcu_node structure. At this point, there is nothing left to cause the quiescent state to be propagated up the rcu_node tree, so the current grace period never completes. The simplest fix, especially after considering the deadlock possibilities, is to detect this situation when the last CPU is offlined, and to set that CPU's ->qsmask bit in its leaf rcu_node structure. This will cause the next invocation of force_quiescent_state() to end the grace period.

rcu: Improve boost selection when moving tasks to root rcu_node The rcu_preempt_offline_tasks() moves all tasks queued on a given leaf rcu_node structure to the root rcu_node, which is done when the last CPU corresponding the the leaf rcu_node structure goes offline. Now that RCU-preempt's synchronize_rcu_expedited() implementation blocks CPU-hotplug operations during the initialization of each rcu_node structure's ->boost_tasks pointer, rcu_preempt_offline_tasks() can do a better job of setting the root rcu_node's ->boost_tasks pointer. The key point is that rcu_preempt_offline_tasks() runs as part of the CPU-hotplug process, so that a concurrent synchronize_rcu_expedited() is guaranteed to either have not started on the one hand (in which case there is no boosting on behalf of the expedited grace period) or to be completely initialized on the other (in which case, in the absence of other priority boosting, all ->boost_tasks pointers will be initialized). Therefore, if rcu_preempt_offline_tasks() finds that the ->boost_tasks pointer is equal to the ->exp_tasks pointer, it can be sure that it is correctly placed. In the case where there was boosting ongoing at the time that the synchronize_rcu_expedited() function started, different nodes might start boosting the tasks blocking the expedited grace period at different times. In this mixed case, the root node will either be boosting tasks for the expedited grace period already, or it will start as soon as it gets done boosting for the normal grace period -- but in this latter case, the root node's tasks needed to be boosted in any case. This commit therefore adds a check of the ->boost_tasks pointer against the ->exp_tasks pointer to the list that prevents updating ->boost_tasks. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Improve boost selection when moving tasks to root rcu_node The rcu_preempt_offline_tasks() moves all tasks queued on a given leaf rcu_node structure to the root rcu_node, which is done when the last CPU corresponding the the leaf rcu_node structure goes offline. Now that RCU-preempt's synchronize_rcu_expedited() implementation blocks CPU-hotplug operations during the initialization of each rcu_node structure's ->boost_tasks pointer, rcu_preempt_offline_tasks() can do a better job of setting the root rcu_node's ->boost_tasks pointer. The key point is that rcu_preempt_offline_tasks() runs as part of the CPU-hotplug process, so that a concurrent synchronize_rcu_expedited() is guaranteed to either have not started on the one hand (in which case there is no boosting on behalf of the expedited grace period) or to be completely initialized on the other (in which case, in the absence of other priority boosting, all ->boost_tasks pointers will be initialized). Therefore, if rcu_preempt_offline_tasks() finds that the ->boost_tasks pointer is equal to the ->exp_tasks pointer, it can be sure that it is correctly placed. In the case where there was boosting ongoing at the time that the synchronize_rcu_expedited() function started, different nodes might start boosting the tasks blocking the expedited grace period at different times. In this mixed case, the root node will either be boosting tasks for the expedited grace period already, or it will start as soon as it gets done boosting for the normal grace period -- but in this latter case, the root node's tasks needed to be boosted in any case. This commit therefore adds a check of the ->boost_tasks pointer against the ->exp_tasks pointer to the list that prevents updating ->boost_tasks. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Fix TREE_PREEMPT_RCU CPU_HOTPLUG bad-luck hang If the following sequence of events occurs, then TREE_PREEMPT_RCU will hang waiting for a grace period to complete, eventually OOMing the system: o A TREE_PREEMPT_RCU build of the kernel is booted on a system with more than 64 physical CPUs present (32 on a 32-bit system). Alternatively, a TREE_PREEMPT_RCU build of the kernel is booted with RCU_FANOUT set to a sufficiently small value that the physical CPUs populate two or more leaf rcu_node structures. o A task is preempted in an RCU read-side critical section while running on a CPU corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node structure. o All CPUs corresponding to this same leaf rcu_node structure record quiescent states for the current grace period. o All of these same CPUs go offline (hence the need for enough physical CPUs to populate more than one leaf rcu_node structure). This causes the preempted task to be moved to the root rcu_node structure. At this point, there is nothing left to cause the quiescent state to be propagated up the rcu_node tree, so the current grace period never completes. The simplest fix, especially after considering the deadlock possibilities, is to detect this situation when the last CPU is offlined, and to set that CPU's ->qsmask bit in its leaf rcu_node structure. This will cause the next invocation of force_quiescent_state() to end the grace period. Without this fix, this hang can be triggered in an hour or so on some machines with rcutorture and random CPU onlining/offlining. With this fix, these same machines pass a full 10 hours of this sort of abuse. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: protect __rcu_read_unlock() against scheduler-using irq handlers The addition of RCU read-side critical sections within runqueue and priority-inheritance lock critical sections introduced some deadlock cycles, for example, involving interrupts from __rcu_read_unlock() where the interrupt handlers call wake_up(). This situation can cause the instance of __rcu_read_unlock() invoked from interrupt to do some of the processing that would otherwise have been carried out by the task-level instance of __rcu_read_unlock(). When the interrupt-level instance of __rcu_read_unlock() is called with a scheduler lock held from interrupt-entry/exit situations where in_irq() returns false, deadlock can result. This commit resolves these deadlocks by using negative values of the per-task ->rcu_read_lock_nesting counter to indicate that an instance of __rcu_read_unlock() is in flight, which in turn prevents instances from interrupt handlers from doing any special processing. This patch is inspired by Steven Rostedt's earlier patch that similarly made __rcu_read_unlock() guard against interrupt-mediated recursion (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/15/326), but this commit refines Steven's approach to avoid the need for preemption disabling on the __rcu_read_unlock() fastpath and to also avoid the need for manipulating a separate per-CPU variable. This patch avoids need for preempt_disable() by instead using negative values of the per-task ->rcu_read_lock_nesting counter. Note that nested rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs are still permitted, but they will never see ->rcu_read_lock_nesting go to zero, and will therefore never invoke rcu_read_unlock_special(), thus preventing them from seeing the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED bit should it be set in ->rcu_read_unlock_special. This patch also adds a check for ->rcu_read_unlock_special being negative in rcu_check_callbacks(), thus preventing the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_NEED_QS bit from being set should a scheduling-clock interrupt occur while __rcu_read_unlock() is exiting from an outermost RCU read-side critical section. Of course, __rcu_read_unlock() can be preempted during the time that ->rcu_read_lock_nesting is negative. This could result in the setting of the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED bit after __rcu_read_unlock() checks it, and would also result it this task being queued on the corresponding rcu_node structure's blkd_tasks list. Therefore, some later RCU read-side critical section would enter rcu_read_unlock_special() to clean up -- which could result in deadlock if that critical section happened to be in the scheduler where the runqueue or priority-inheritance locks were held. This situation is dealt with by making rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() check for negative ->rcu_read_lock_nesting, thus refraining from queuing the task (and from setting RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED) if we are already exiting from the outermost RCU read-side critical section (in other words, we really are no longer actually in that RCU read-side critical section). In addition, rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() invokes rcu_read_unlock_special() to carry out the cleanup in this case, which clears out the ->rcu_read_unlock_special bits and dequeues the task (if necessary), in turn avoiding needless delay of the current RCU grace period and needless RCU priority boosting. It is still illegal to call rcu_read_unlock() while holding a scheduler lock if the prior RCU read-side critical section has ever had either preemption or irqs enabled. However, the common use case is legal, namely where then entire RCU read-side critical section executes with irqs disabled, for example, when the scheduler lock is held across the entire lifetime of the RCU read-side critical section.

rcu: Use softirq to address performance regression Commit a26ac2455ffcf3(rcu: move TREE_RCU from softirq to kthread) introduced performance regression. In an AIM7 test, this commit degraded performance by about 40%. The commit runs rcu callbacks in a kthread instead of softirq. We observed high rate of context switch which is caused by this. Out test system has 64 CPUs and HZ is 1000, so we saw more than 64k context switch per second which is caused by RCU's per-CPU kthread. A trace showed that most of the time the RCU per-CPU kthread doesn't actually handle any callbacks, but instead just does a very small amount of work handling grace periods. This means that RCU's per-CPU kthreads are making the scheduler do quite a bit of work in order to allow a very small amount of RCU-related processing to be done. Alex Shi's analysis determined that this slowdown is due to lock contention within the scheduler. Unfortunately, as Peter Zijlstra points out, the scheduler's real-time semantics require global action, which means that this contention is inherent in real-time scheduling. (Yes, perhaps someone will come up with a workaround -- otherwise, -rt is not going to do well on large SMP systems -- but this patch will work around this issue in the meantime. And "the meantime" might well be forever.) This patch therefore re-introduces softirq processing to RCU, but only for core RCU work. RCU callbacks are still executed in kthread context, so that only a small amount of RCU work runs in softirq context in the common case. This should minimize ksoftirqd execution, allowing us to skip boosting of ksoftirqd for CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y kernels.

rcu: Merge preemptable-RCU functionality into hierarchical RCU Create a kernel/rcutree_plugin.h file that contains definitions for preemptable RCU (or, under the #else branch of the #ifdef, empty definitions for the classic non-preemptable semantics). These definitions fit into plugins defined in kernel/rcutree.c for this purpose. This variant of preemptable RCU uses a new algorithm whose read-side expense is roughly that of classic hierarchical RCU under CONFIG_PREEMPT. This new algorithm's update-side expense is similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence of read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic hierarchical RCU. Perhaps more important, this new algorithm has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new algorithm. The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations over the past 18 months.

rcu: Fix grace-period-stall bug on large systems with CPU hotplug When the last CPU of a given leaf rcu_node structure goes offline, all of the tasks queued on that leaf rcu_node structure (due to having blocked in their current RCU read-side critical sections) are requeued onto the root rcu_node structure. This requeuing is carried out by rcu_preempt_offline_tasks(). However, it is possible that these queued tasks are the only thing preventing the leaf rcu_node structure from reporting a quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy. Unfortunately, the old code would fail to do this reporting, resulting in a grace-period stall given the following sequence of events: 1. Kernel built for more than 32 CPUs on 32-bit systems or for more than 64 CPUs on 64-bit systems, so that there is more than one rcu_node structure. (Or CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT is artificially set to a number smaller than CONFIG_NR_CPUS.) 2. The kernel is built with CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU. 3. A task running on a CPU associated with a given leaf rcu_node structure blocks while in an RCU read-side critical section -and- that CPU has not yet passed through a quiescent state for the current RCU grace period. This will cause the task to be queued on the leaf rcu_node's blocked_tasks[] array, in particular, on the element of this array corresponding to the current grace period. 4. Each of the remaining CPUs corresponding to this same leaf rcu_node structure pass through a quiescent state. However, the task is still in its RCU read-side critical section, so these quiescent states cannot be reported further up the rcu_node hierarchy. Nevertheless, all bits in the leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask field are now zero. 5. Each of the remaining CPUs go offline. (The events in step #4 and #5 can happen in any order as long as each CPU passes through a quiescent state before going offline.) 6. When the last CPU goes offline, __rcu_offline_cpu() will invoke rcu_preempt_offline_tasks(), which will move the task to the root rcu_node structure, but without reporting a quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy (and this failure to report a quiescent state is the bug). But because this leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask field is already zero and its ->block_tasks[] entries are all empty, force_quiescent_state() will skip this rcu_node structure. Therefore, grace periods are now hung. This patch abstracts some code out of rcu_read_unlock_special(), calling the result task_quiet() by analogy with cpu_quiet(), and invokes task_quiet() from both rcu_read_lock_special() and __rcu_offline_cpu(). Invoking task_quiet() from __rcu_offline_cpu() reports the quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy, fixing the bug. This ends up requiring a separate lock_class_key per level of the rcu_node hierarchy, which this patch also provides. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Rename "quiet" functions The number of "quiet" functions has grown recently, and the names are no longer very descriptive. The point of all of these functions is to do some portion of the task of reporting a quiescent state, so rename them accordingly: o cpu_quiet() becomes rcu_report_qs_rdp(), which reports a quiescent state to the per-CPU rcu_data structure. If this turns out to be a new quiescent state for this grace period, then rcu_report_qs_rnp() will be invoked to propagate the quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy. o cpu_quiet_msk() becomes rcu_report_qs_rnp(), which reports a quiescent state for a given CPU (or possibly a set of CPUs) up the rcu_node hierarchy. o cpu_quiet_msk_finish() becomes rcu_report_qs_rsp(), which reports a full set of quiescent states to the global rcu_state structure. o task_quiet() becomes rcu_report_unblock_qs_rnp(), which reports a quiescent state due to a task exiting an RCU read-side critical section that had previously blocked in that same critical section. As indicated by the new name, this type of quiescent state is reported up the rcu_node hierarchy (using rcu_report_qs_rnp() to do so). Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Merge preemptable-RCU functionality into hierarchical RCU Create a kernel/rcutree_plugin.h file that contains definitions for preemptable RCU (or, under the #else branch of the #ifdef, empty definitions for the classic non-preemptable semantics). These definitions fit into plugins defined in kernel/rcutree.c for this purpose. This variant of preemptable RCU uses a new algorithm whose read-side expense is roughly that of classic hierarchical RCU under CONFIG_PREEMPT. This new algorithm's update-side expense is similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence of read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic hierarchical RCU. Perhaps more important, this new algorithm has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new algorithm. The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations over the past 18 months.

Alternatively, a TREE_PREEMPT_RCU build of the kernel is booted with RCU_FANOUT set to a sufficiently small value that the physical CPUs populate two or more leaf rcu_node structures. o A task is preempted in an RCU read-side critical section while running on a CPU corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node structure. o All CPUs corresponding to this same leaf rcu_node structure record quiescent states for the current grace period. o All of these same CPUs go offline (hence the need for enough physical CPUs to populate more than one leaf rcu_node structure). This causes the preempted task to be moved to the root rcu_node structure. At this point, there is nothing left to cause the quiescent state to be propagated up the rcu_node tree, so the current grace period never completes. The simplest fix, especially after considering the deadlock possibilities, is to detect this situation when the last CPU is offlined, and to set that CPU's ->qsmask bit in its leaf rcu_node structure. This will cause the next invocation of force_quiescent_state() to end the grace period.

rcu: Accelerate grace period if last non-dynticked CPU Currently, rcu_needs_cpu() simply checks whether the current CPU has an outstanding RCU callback, which means that the last CPU to go into dyntick-idle mode might wait a few ticks for the relevant grace periods to complete. However, if all the other CPUs are in dyntick-idle mode, and if this CPU is in a quiescent state (which it is for RCU-bh and RCU-sched any time that we are considering going into dyntick-idle mode), then the grace period is instantly complete. This patch therefore repeatedly invokes the RCU grace-period machinery in order to force any needed grace periods to complete quickly. It does so a limited number of times in order to prevent starvation by an RCU callback function that might pass itself to call_rcu(). However, if any CPU other than the current one is not in dyntick-idle mode, fall back to simply checking (with fix to bug noted by Lai Jiangshan). Also, take advantage of last grace-period forcing, the opportunity to do so noted by Steve Rostedt. And apply simplified #ifdef condition suggested by Frederic Weisbecker. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Yield simpler The rcu_yield() code is amazing. It's there to avoid starvation of the system when lots of (boosting) work is to be done. Now looking at the code it's functionality is: Make the thread SCHED_OTHER and very nice, i.e. get it out of the way Arm a timer with 2 ticks schedule() Now if the system goes idle the rcu task returns, regains SCHED_FIFO and plugs on. If the systems stays busy the timer fires and wakes a per node kthread which in turn makes the per cpu thread SCHED_FIFO and brings it back on the cpu. For the boosting thread the "make it FIFO" bit is missing and it just runs some magic boost checks. Now this is a lot of code with extra threads and complexity. It's way simpler to let the tasks when they detect overload schedule away for 2 ticks and defer the normal wakeup as long as they are in yielded state and the cpu is not idle. That solves the same problem and the only difference is that when the cpu goes idle it's not guaranteed that the thread returns right away, but it won't be longer out than two ticks, so no harm is done. If that's an issue than it is way simpler just to wake the task from idle as RCU has callbacks there anyway.

rcu: Have the RCU tracepoints use the tracepoint_string infrastructure Currently, RCU tracepoints save only a pointer to strings in the ring buffer. When displayed via the /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace file they are referenced like the printf "%s" that looks at the address in the ring buffer and prints out the string it points too.

rcu: Yield simpler The rcu_yield() code is amazing. It's there to avoid starvation of the system when lots of (boosting) work is to be done. Now looking at the code it's functionality is: Make the thread SCHED_OTHER and very nice, i.e. get it out of the way Arm a timer with 2 ticks schedule() Now if the system goes idle the rcu task returns, regains SCHED_FIFO and plugs on. If the systems stays busy the timer fires and wakes a per node kthread which in turn makes the per cpu thread SCHED_FIFO and brings it back on the cpu. For the boosting thread the "make it FIFO" bit is missing and it just runs some magic boost checks. Now this is a lot of code with extra threads and complexity. It's way simpler to let the tasks when they detect overload schedule away for 2 ticks and defer the normal wakeup as long as they are in yielded state and the cpu is not idle. That solves the same problem and the only difference is that when the cpu goes idle it's not guaranteed that the thread returns right away, but it won't be longer out than two ticks, so no harm is done. If that's an issue than it is way simpler just to wake the task from idle as RCU has callbacks there anyway.

rcu: Yield simpler The rcu_yield() code is amazing. It's there to avoid starvation of the system when lots of (boosting) work is to be done. Now looking at the code it's functionality is: Make the thread SCHED_OTHER and very nice, i.e. get it out of the way Arm a timer with 2 ticks schedule() Now if the system goes idle the rcu task returns, regains SCHED_FIFO and plugs on. If the systems stays busy the timer fires and wakes a per node kthread which in turn makes the per cpu thread SCHED_FIFO and brings it back on the cpu. For the boosting thread the "make it FIFO" bit is missing and it just runs some magic boost checks. Now this is a lot of code with extra threads and complexity. It's way simpler to let the tasks when they detect overload schedule away for 2 ticks and defer the normal wakeup as long as they are in yielded state and the cpu is not idle. That solves the same problem and the only difference is that when the cpu goes idle it's not guaranteed that the thread returns right away, but it won't be longer out than two ticks, so no harm is done. If that's an issue than it is way simpler just to wake the task from idle as RCU has callbacks there anyway.

rcu: Have the RCU tracepoints use the tracepoint_string infrastructure Currently, RCU tracepoints save only a pointer to strings in the ring buffer. When displayed via the /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace file they are referenced like the printf "%s" that looks at the address in the ring buffer and prints out the string it points too. This requires that the strings are constant and persistent in the kernel. The problem with this is for tools like trace-cmd and perf that read the binary data from the buffers but have no access to the kernel memory to find out what string is represented by the address in the buffer. By using the tracepoint_string infrastructure, the RCU tracepoint strings can be exported such that userspace tools can map the addresses to the strings. # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/printk_formats 0xffffffff81a4a0e8 : "rcu_preempt" 0xffffffff81a4a0f4 : "rcu_bh" 0xffffffff81a4a100 : "rcu_sched" 0xffffffff818437a0 : "cpuqs" 0xffffffff818437a6 : "rcu_sched" 0xffffffff818437a0 : "cpuqs" 0xffffffff818437b0 : "rcu_bh" 0xffffffff818437b7 : "Start context switch" 0xffffffff818437cc : "End context switch" 0xffffffff818437a0 : "cpuqs" [...] Now userspaces tools can display: rcu_utilization: Start context switch rcu_dyntick: Start 1 0 rcu_utilization: End context switch rcu_batch_start: rcu_preempt CBs=0/5 bl=10 rcu_dyntick: End 0 140000000000000 rcu_invoke_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880071c0d600 func=proc_i_callback rcu_invoke_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880077b5b230 func=__d_free rcu_dyntick: Start 140000000000000 0 rcu_invoke_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880077563980 func=file_free_rcu rcu_batch_end: rcu_preempt CBs-invoked=3 idle=>c<>c<>c<>c< rcu_utilization: End RCU core rcu_grace_period: rcu_preempt 9741 start rcu_dyntick: Start 1 0 rcu_dyntick: End 0 140000000000000 rcu_dyntick: Start 140000000000000 0 Instead of: rcu_utilization: ffffffff81843110 rcu_future_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 9939 9940 0 0 3 ffffffff81842f32 rcu_batch_start: ffffffff81842f1d CBs=0/4 bl=10 rcu_future_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 9939 9940 0 0 3 ffffffff81842f3c rcu_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 ffffffff81842f80 rcu_invoke_callback: ffffffff81842f1d rhp=0xffff88007888aac0 func=file_free_rcu rcu_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 ffffffff81842f95 rcu_invoke_callback: ffffffff81842f1d rhp=0xffff88006aeb4600 func=proc_i_callback rcu_future_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 9939 9940 0 0 3 ffffffff81842f32 rcu_future_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 9939 9940 0 0 3 ffffffff81842f3c rcu_invoke_callback: ffffffff81842f1d rhp=0xffff880071cb9fc0 func=__d_free rcu_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 ffffffff81842f80 rcu_invoke_callback: ffffffff81842f1d rhp=0xffff88007888ae80 func=file_free_rcu rcu_batch_end: ffffffff81842f1d CBs-invoked=4 idle=>c<>c<>c<>c< rcu_utilization: ffffffff8184311f Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

rcu: Yield simpler The rcu_yield() code is amazing. It's there to avoid starvation of the system when lots of (boosting) work is to be done. Now looking at the code it's functionality is: Make the thread SCHED_OTHER and very nice, i.e. get it out of the way Arm a timer with 2 ticks schedule() Now if the system goes idle the rcu task returns, regains SCHED_FIFO and plugs on. If the systems stays busy the timer fires and wakes a per node kthread which in turn makes the per cpu thread SCHED_FIFO and brings it back on the cpu. For the boosting thread the "make it FIFO" bit is missing and it just runs some magic boost checks. Now this is a lot of code with extra threads and complexity. It's way simpler to let the tasks when they detect overload schedule away for 2 ticks and defer the normal wakeup as long as they are in yielded state and the cpu is not idle. That solves the same problem and the only difference is that when the cpu goes idle it's not guaranteed that the thread returns right away, but it won't be longer out than two ticks, so no harm is done. If that's an issue than it is way simpler just to wake the task from idle as RCU has callbacks there anyway.

rcu: Yield simpler The rcu_yield() code is amazing. It's there to avoid starvation of the system when lots of (boosting) work is to be done. Now looking at the code it's functionality is: Make the thread SCHED_OTHER and very nice, i.e. get it out of the way Arm a timer with 2 ticks schedule() Now if the system goes idle the rcu task returns, regains SCHED_FIFO and plugs on. If the systems stays busy the timer fires and wakes a per node kthread which in turn makes the per cpu thread SCHED_FIFO and brings it back on the cpu. For the boosting thread the "make it FIFO" bit is missing and it just runs some magic boost checks. Now this is a lot of code with extra threads and complexity. It's way simpler to let the tasks when they detect overload schedule away for 2 ticks and defer the normal wakeup as long as they are in yielded state and the cpu is not idle. That solves the same problem and the only difference is that when the cpu goes idle it's not guaranteed that the thread returns right away, but it won't be longer out than two ticks, so no harm is done. If that's an issue than it is way simpler just to wake the task from idle as RCU has callbacks there anyway.

rcu: Accelerate grace period if last non-dynticked CPU Currently, rcu_needs_cpu() simply checks whether the current CPU has an outstanding RCU callback, which means that the last CPU to go into dyntick-idle mode might wait a few ticks for the relevant grace periods to complete. However, if all the other CPUs are in dyntick-idle mode, and if this CPU is in a quiescent state (which it is for RCU-bh and RCU-sched any time that we are considering going into dyntick-idle mode), then the grace period is instantly complete. This patch therefore repeatedly invokes the RCU grace-period machinery in order to force any needed grace periods to complete quickly. It does so a limited number of times in order to prevent starvation by an RCU callback function that might pass itself to call_rcu(). However, if any CPU other than the current one is not in dyntick-idle mode, fall back to simply checking (with fix to bug noted by Lai Jiangshan).

But all for naught: The next wakeup time for the CPU has already been computed, and posting a timer afterwards does not force that wakeup time to be recomputed. This means that rcu_prepare_for_idle()'s have no effect. This is not a problem on a busy system because something else will wake up the CPU soon enough. However, on lightly loaded systems, the CPU might stay asleep for a considerable length of time. If that CPU has a callback that the rest of the system is waiting on, the system might run very slowly or (in theory) even hang. This commit avoids this problem by having rcu_needs_cpu() give tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() an estimate of when RCU will need the CPU to wake back up, which tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() takes into account when programming the CPU's wakeup time. An alternative approach is for rcu_prepare_for_idle() to use hrtimers instead of normal timers, but timers are much more efficient than are hrtimers for frequently and repeatedly posting and cancelling a given timer, which is exactly what RCU_FAST_NO_HZ does.

rcu: Make RCU_FAST_NO_HZ handle timer migration The current RCU_FAST_NO_HZ assumes that timers do not migrate unless a CPU goes offline, in which case it assumes that the CPU will have to come out of dyntick-idle mode (cancelling the timer) in order to go offline. This is important because when RCU_FAST_NO_HZ permits a CPU to enter dyntick-idle mode despite having RCU callbacks pending, it posts a timer on that CPU to force a wakeup on that CPU. This wakeup ensures that the CPU will eventually handle the end of the grace period, including invoking its RCU callbacks. However, Pascal Chapperon's test setup shows that the timer handler rcu_idle_gp_timer_func() really does get invoked in some cases. This is problematic because this can cause the CPU that entered dyntick-idle mode despite still having RCU callbacks pending to remain in dyntick-idle mode indefinitely, which means that its RCU callbacks might never be invoked. This situation can result in grace-period delays or even system hangs, which matches Pascal's observations of slow boot-up and shutdown (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/5/142). See also the bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=806548 This commit therefore causes the "should never be invoked" timer handler rcu_idle_gp_timer_func() to use smp_call_function_single() to wake up the CPU for which the timer was intended, allowing that CPU to invoke its RCU callbacks in a timely manner.

rcu: Accelerate grace period if last non-dynticked CPU Currently, rcu_needs_cpu() simply checks whether the current CPU has an outstanding RCU callback, which means that the last CPU to go into dyntick-idle mode might wait a few ticks for the relevant grace periods to complete.

Merge branch 'timers-nohz-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull 'full dynticks' support from Ingo Molnar: "This tree from Frederic Weisbecker adds a new, (exciting! :-) core kernel feature to the timer and scheduler subsystems: 'full dynticks', or CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y. This feature extends the nohz variable-size timer tick feature from idle to busy CPUs (running at most one task) as well, potentially reducing the number of timer interrupts significantly. This feature got motivated by real-time folks and the -rt tree, but the general utility and motivation of full-dynticks runs wider than that: - HPC workloads get faster: CPUs running a single task should be able to utilize a maximum amount of CPU power. A periodic timer tick at HZ=1000 can cause a constant overhead of up to 1.0%. This feature removes that overhead - and speeds up the system by 0.5%-1.0% on typical distro configs even on modern systems. - Real-time workload latency reduction: CPUs running critical tasks should experience as little jitter as possible. The last remaining source of kernel-related jitter was the periodic timer tick. - A single task executing on a CPU is a pretty common situation, especially with an increasing number of cores/CPUs, so this feature helps desktop and mobile workloads as well. The cost of the feature is mainly related to increased timer reprogramming overhead when a CPU switches its tick period, and thus slightly longer to-idle and from-idle latency. Configuration-wise a third mode of operation is added to the existing two NOHZ kconfig modes: - CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC: [formerly !CONFIG_NO_HZ], now explicitly named as a config option. This is the traditional Linux periodic tick design: there's a HZ tick going on all the time, regardless of whether a CPU is idle or not. - CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE: [formerly CONFIG_NO_HZ=y], this turns off the periodic tick when a CPU enters idle mode. - CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL: this new mode, in addition to turning off the tick when a CPU is idle, also slows the tick down to 1 Hz (one timer interrupt per second) when only a single task is running on a CPU. The .config behavior is compatible: existing !CONFIG_NO_HZ and CONFIG_NO_HZ=y settings get translated to the new values, without the user having to configure anything. CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL is turned off by default. This feature is based on a lot of infrastructure work that has been steadily going upstream in the last 2-3 cycles: related RCU support and non-periodic cputime support in particular is upstream already. This tree adds the final pieces and activates the feature. The pull request is marked RFC because: - it's marked 64-bit only at the moment - the 32-bit support patch is small but did not get ready in time. - it has a number of fresh commits that came in after the merge window. The overwhelming majority of commits are from before the merge window, but still some aspects of the tree are fresh and so I marked it RFC. - it's a pretty wide-reaching feature with lots of effects - and while the components have been in testing for some time, the full combination is still not very widely used. That it's default-off should reduce its regression abilities and obviously there are no known regressions with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y enabled either. - the feature is not completely idempotent: there is no 100% equivalent replacement for a periodic scheduler/timer tick. In particular there's ongoing work to map out and reduce its effects on scheduler load-balancing and statistics. This should not impact correctness though, there are no known regressions related to this feature at this point. - it's a pretty ambitious feature that with time will likely be enabled by most Linux distros, and we'd like you to make input on its design/implementation, if you dislike some aspect we missed. Without flaming us to crisp! :-) Future plans: - there's ongoing work to reduce 1Hz to 0Hz, to essentially shut off the periodic tick altogether when there's a single busy task on a CPU. We'd first like 1 Hz to be exposed more widely before we go for the 0 Hz target though. - once we reach 0 Hz we can remove the periodic tick assumption from nr_running>=2 as well, by essentially interrupting busy tasks only as frequently as the sched_latency constraints require us to do - once every 4-40 msecs, depending on nr_running. I am personally leaning towards biting the bullet and doing this in v3.10, like the -rt tree this effort has been going on for too long - but the final word is up to you as usual.

rcu: Accelerate grace period if last non-dynticked CPU Currently, rcu_needs_cpu() simply checks whether the current CPU has an outstanding RCU callback, which means that the last CPU to go into dyntick-idle mode might wait a few ticks for the relevant grace periods to complete. However, if all the other CPUs are in dyntick-idle mode, and if this CPU is in a quiescent state (which it is for RCU-bh and RCU-sched any time that we are considering going into dyntick-idle mode), then the grace period is instantly complete. This patch therefore repeatedly invokes the RCU grace-period machinery in order to force any needed grace periods to complete quickly. It does so a limited number of times in order to prevent starvation by an RCU callback function that might pass itself to call_rcu(). However, if any CPU other than the current one is not in dyntick-idle mode, fall back to simply checking (with fix to bug noted by Lai Jiangshan). Also, take advantage of last grace-period forcing, the opportunity to do so noted by Steve Rostedt. And apply simplified #ifdef condition suggested by Frederic Weisbecker. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Make rcu_nocb_poll an early_param instead of module_param The as-documented rcu_nocb_poll will fail to enable this feature for two reasons. (1) there is an extra "s" in the documented name which is not in the code, and (2) since it uses module_param, it really is expecting a prefix, akin to "rcutree.fanout_leaf" and the prefix isn't documented. However, there are several reasons why we might not want to simply fix the typo and add the prefix: 1) we'd end up with rcutree.rcu_nocb_poll, and rather probably make a change to rcutree.nocb_poll 2) if we did #1, then the prefix wouldn't be consistent with the rcu_nocbs=<cpumap> parameter (i.e. one with, one without prefix) 3) the use of module_param in a header file is less than desired, since it isn't immediately obvious that it will get processed via rcutree.c and get the prefix from that (although use of module_param_named() could clarify that.) 4) the implied export of /sys/module/rcutree/parameters/rcu_nocb_poll data to userspace via module_param() doesn't really buy us anything, as it is read-only and we can tell if it is enabled already without it, since there is a printk at early boot telling us so. In light of all that, just change it from a module_param() to an early_setup() call, and worry about adding it to /sys later on if we decide to allow a dynamic setting of it. Also change the variable to be tagged as read_mostly, since it will only ever be fiddled with at most, once at boot.

By using the tracepoint_string infrastructure, the RCU tracepoint strings can be exported such that userspace tools can map the addresses to the strings. # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/printk_formats 0xffffffff81a4a0e8 : "rcu_preempt" 0xffffffff81a4a0f4 : "rcu_bh" 0xffffffff81a4a100 : "rcu_sched" 0xffffffff818437a0 : "cpuqs" 0xffffffff818437a6 : "rcu_sched" 0xffffffff818437a0 : "cpuqs" 0xffffffff818437b0 : "rcu_bh" 0xffffffff818437b7 : "Start context switch" 0xffffffff818437cc : "End context switch" 0xffffffff818437a0 : "cpuqs" [...] Now userspaces tools can display: rcu_utilization: Start context switch rcu_dyntick: Start 1 0 rcu_utilization: End context switch rcu_batch_start: rcu_preempt CBs=0/5 bl=10 rcu_dyntick: End 0 140000000000000 rcu_invoke_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880071c0d600 func=proc_i_callback rcu_invoke_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880077b5b230 func=__d_free rcu_dyntick: Start 140000000000000 0 rcu_invoke_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880077563980 func=file_free_rcu rcu_batch_end: rcu_preempt CBs-invoked=3 idle=>c<>c<>c<>c< rcu_utilization: End RCU core rcu_grace_period: rcu_preempt 9741 start rcu_dyntick: Start 1 0 rcu_dyntick: End 0 140000000000000 rcu_dyntick: Start 140000000000000 0 Instead of: rcu_utilization: ffffffff81843110 rcu_future_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 9939 9940 0 0 3 ffffffff81842f32 rcu_batch_start: ffffffff81842f1d CBs=0/4 bl=10 rcu_future_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 9939 9940 0 0 3 ffffffff81842f3c rcu_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 ffffffff81842f80 rcu_invoke_callback: ffffffff81842f1d rhp=0xffff88007888aac0 func=file_free_rcu rcu_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 ffffffff81842f95 rcu_invoke_callback: ffffffff81842f1d rhp=0xffff88006aeb4600 func=proc_i_callback rcu_future_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 9939 9940 0 0 3 ffffffff81842f32 rcu_future_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 9939 9940 0 0 3 ffffffff81842f3c rcu_invoke_callback: ffffffff81842f1d rhp=0xffff880071cb9fc0 func=__d_free rcu_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 ffffffff81842f80 rcu_invoke_callback: ffffffff81842f1d rhp=0xffff88007888ae80 func=file_free_rcu rcu_batch_end: ffffffff81842f1d CBs-invoked=4 idle=>c<>c<>c<>c< rcu_utilization: ffffffff8184311f Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

rcu: Kick adaptive-ticks CPUs that are holding up RCU grace periods Adaptive-ticks CPUs inform RCU when they enter kernel mode, but they do not necessarily turn the scheduler-clock tick back on. This state of affairs could result in RCU waiting on an adaptive-ticks CPU running for an extended period in kernel mode. Such a CPU will never run the RCU state machine, and could therefore indefinitely extend the RCU state machine, sooner or later resulting in an OOM condition. This patch, inspired by an earlier patch by Frederic Weisbecker, therefore causes RCU's force-quiescent-state processing to check for this condition and to send an IPI to CPUs that remain in that state for too long. "Too long" currently means about three jiffies by default, which is quite some time for a CPU to remain in the kernel without blocking. The rcu_tree.jiffies_till_first_fqs and rcutree.jiffies_till_next_fqs sysfs variables may be used to tune "too long" if needed.

nohz_full: Add rcu_dyntick data for scalable detection of all-idle state This commit adds fields to the rcu_dyntick structure that are used to detect idle CPUs. These new fields differ from the existing ones in that the existing ones consider a CPU executing in user mode to be idle, where the new ones consider CPUs executing in user mode to be busy. The handling of these new fields is otherwise quite similar to that for the exiting fields. This commit also adds the initialization required for these fields. So, why is usermode execution treated differently, with RCU considering it a quiescent state equivalent to idle, while in contrast the new full-system idle state detection considers usermode execution to be non-idle? It turns out that although one of RCU's quiescent states is usermode execution, it is not a full-system idle state. This is because the purpose of the full-system idle state is not RCU, but rather determining when accurate timekeeping can safely be disabled. Whenever accurate timekeeping is required in a CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL kernel, at least one CPU must keep the scheduling-clock tick going. If even one CPU is executing in user mode, accurate timekeeping is requires, particularly for architectures where gettimeofday() and friends do not enter the kernel. Only when all CPUs are really and truly idle can accurate timekeeping be disabled, allowing all CPUs to turn off the scheduling clock interrupt, thus greatly improving energy efficiency. This naturally raises the question "Why is this code in RCU rather than in timekeeping?", and the answer is that RCU has the data and infrastructure to efficiently make this determination.

nohz_full: Add full-system-idle state machine This commit adds the state machine that takes the per-CPU idle data as input and produces a full-system-idle indication as output. This state machine is driven out of RCU's quiescent-state-forcing mechanism, which invokes rcu_sysidle_check_cpu() to collect per-CPU idle state and then rcu_sysidle_report() to drive the state machine. The full-system-idle state is sampled using rcu_sys_is_idle(), which also drives the state machine if RCU is idle (and does so by forcing RCU to become non-idle). This function returns true if all but the timekeeping CPU (tick_do_timer_cpu) are idle and have been idle long enough to avoid memory contention on the full_sysidle_state state variable. The rcu_sysidle_force_exit() may be called externally to reset the state machine back into non-idle state. For large systems the state machine is driven out of RCU's force-quiescent-state logic, which provides good scalability at the price of millisecond-scale latencies on the transition to full-system-idle state. This is not so good for battery-powered systems, which are usually small enough that they don't need to care about scalability, but which do care deeply about energy efficiency. Small systems therefore drive the state machine directly out of the idle-entry code. The number of CPUs in a "small" system is defined by a new NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE_SMALL Kconfig parameter, which defaults to 8. Note that this is a build-time definition. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

nohz_full: Add full-system-idle state machine This commit adds the state machine that takes the per-CPU idle data as input and produces a full-system-idle indication as output. This state machine is driven out of RCU's quiescent-state-forcing mechanism, which invokes rcu_sysidle_check_cpu() to collect per-CPU idle state and then rcu_sysidle_report() to drive the state machine. The full-system-idle state is sampled using rcu_sys_is_idle(), which also drives the state machine if RCU is idle (and does so by forcing RCU to become non-idle). This function returns true if all but the timekeeping CPU (tick_do_timer_cpu) are idle and have been idle long enough to avoid memory contention on the full_sysidle_state state variable. The rcu_sysidle_force_exit() may be called externally to reset the state machine back into non-idle state. For large systems the state machine is driven out of RCU's force-quiescent-state logic, which provides good scalability at the price of millisecond-scale latencies on the transition to full-system-idle state. This is not so good for battery-powered systems, which are usually small enough that they don't need to care about scalability, but which do care deeply about energy efficiency. Small systems therefore drive the state machine directly out of the idle-entry code. The number of CPUs in a "small" system is defined by a new NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE_SMALL Kconfig parameter, which defaults to 8. Note that this is a build-time definition. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

nohz_full: Add rcu_dyntick data for scalable detection of all-idle state This commit adds fields to the rcu_dyntick structure that are used to detect idle CPUs. These new fields differ from the existing ones in that the existing ones consider a CPU executing in user mode to be idle, where the new ones consider CPUs executing in user mode to be busy. The handling of these new fields is otherwise quite similar to that for the exiting fields. This commit also adds the initialization required for these fields. So, why is usermode execution treated differently, with RCU considering it a quiescent state equivalent to idle, while in contrast the new full-system idle state detection considers usermode execution to be non-idle? It turns out that although one of RCU's quiescent states is usermode execution, it is not a full-system idle state. This is because the purpose of the full-system idle state is not RCU, but rather determining when accurate timekeeping can safely be disabled. Whenever accurate timekeeping is required in a CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL kernel, at least one CPU must keep the scheduling-clock tick going. If even one CPU is executing in user mode, accurate timekeeping is requires, particularly for architectures where gettimeofday() and friends do not enter the kernel. Only when all CPUs are really and truly idle can accurate timekeeping be disabled, allowing all CPUs to turn off the scheduling clock interrupt, thus greatly improving energy efficiency. This naturally raises the question "Why is this code in RCU rather than in timekeeping?", and the answer is that RCU has the data and infrastructure to efficiently make this determination.
