rcu: Exit RCU extended QS on user preemption
When exceptions or irq are about to resume userspace, if the task needs to be rescheduled, the arch low level code calls schedule() directly. If we call it, it is because we have the TIF_RESCHED flag: - It can be set after random local calls to set_need_resched() (RCU, drm, ...) - A wake up happened and the CPU needs preemption. This can happen in several ways: * Remotely: the remote waking CPU has set TIF_RESCHED and send the wakee an IPI to schedule the new task. * Remotely enqueued: the remote waking CPU sends an IPI to the target and the wake up is made by the target. * Locally: waking CPU == wakee CPU and the wakeup is done locally. set_need_resched() is called without IPI. In the case of local and remotely enqueued wake ups, the tick can be restarted when we enqueue the new task and RCU can exit the extended quiescent state at the same time. Then by the time we reach irq exit path and we call schedule, we are not in RCU user mode. But if we call schedule() only because something called set_need_resched(), RCU may still be in user mode when we reach schedule. Also if a wake up is done remotely, the CPU might see the TIF_RESCHED flag and call schedule while the IPI has not yet happen to restart the tick and exit RCU user mode. We need to manually protect against these corner cases. Create a new API schedule_user() that calls schedule() inside rcu_user_exit()-rcu_user_enter() in order to protect it. Archs will need to rely on it now to implement user preemption safely.
