Currently, synchronize_sched_expedited() sends IPIs to all online CPUs,
even those that are idle or executing in nohz_full= userspace. Because
idle CPUs and nohz_full= userspace CPUs are in extended quiescent states,
there is no need to IPI them in the first place. This commit therefore

Commit 35ce7f29a4 (rcu: Create rcuo kthreads only for onlined CPUs)
avoids creating rcuo kthreads for CPUs that never come online. This
fixes a bug in many instances of firmware: Instead of lying about their
age, these systems instead lie about the number of CPUs that they have.
Before commit 35ce7f29a4, this could result in huge numbers of useless
rcuo kthreads being created.
It appears that experience indicates that I should have told the
people suffering from this problem to fix their broken firmware, but
I instead produced what turned out to be a partial fix. The missing
piece supplied by this commit makes sure that rcu_barrier() knows not to
post callbacks for no-CBs CPUs that have not yet come online, because
otherwise rcu_barrier() will hang on systems having firmware that lies
about the number of CPUs.
It is tempting to simply have rcu_barrier() refuse to post a callback on
any no-CBs CPU that does not have an rcuo kthread. This unfortunately
does not work because rcu_barrier() is required to wait for all pending
callbacks. It is therefore required to wait even for those callbacks
that cannot possibly be invoked. Even if doing so hangs the system.
Given that posting a callback to a no-CBs CPU that does not yet have an
rcuo kthread can hang rcu_barrier(), It is tempting to report an error
in this case. Unfortunately, this will result in false positives at
boot time, when it is perfectly legal to post callbacks to the boot CPU
before the scheduler has started, in other words, before it is legal
to invoke rcu_barrier().
So this commit instead has rcu_barrier() avoid posting callbacks to
CPUs having neither rcuo kthread nor pending callbacks, and has it
complain bitterly if it finds CPUs having no rcuo kthread but some
pending callbacks. And when rcu_barrier() does find CPUs having no rcuo
kthread but pending callbacks, as noted earlier, it has no choice but
to hang indefinitely.

Currently, the expedited grace-period primitives do get_online_cpus().
This greatly simplifies their implementation, but means that calls
to them holding locks that are acquired by CPU-hotplug notifiers (to
say nothing of calls to these primitives from CPU-hotplug notifiers)
can deadlock. But this is starting to become inconvenient, as can be
seen here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/8/5/754. The problem in this
case is that some developers need to acquire a mutex from a CPU-hotplug
notifier, but also need to hold it across a synchronize_rcu_expedited().
As noted above, this currently results in deadlock.
This commit avoids the deadlock and retains the simplicity by creating
a try_get_online_cpus(), which returns false if the get_online_cpus()
reference count could not immediately be incremented. If a call to
try_get_online_cpus() returns true, the expedited primitives operate as
before. If a call returns false, the expedited primitives fall back to
normal grace-period operations. This falling back of course results in
increased grace-period latency, but only during times when CPU hotplug
operations are actually in flight. The effect should therefore be
negligible during normal operation.

When performing module cleanups by calling torture_cleanup() the
'torture_type' string in nullified However, callers are not necessarily
done, and might still need to reference the variable. This impacts
both rcutorture and locktorture, causing printing things like:
[ 94.226618] (null)-torture: Stopping lock_torture_writer task
[ 94.226624] (null)-torture: Stopping lock_torture_stats task
Thus delay this operation until the very end of the cleanup process.
The consequence (which shouldn't matter for this kid of program) is,
of course, that we delay the window between rmmod and modprobing,
for instance in module_torture_begin().

Commit b58cc46c5f (rcu: Don't offload callbacks unless specifically
requested) failed to adjust the callback lists of the CPUs that are
known to be no-CBs CPUs only because they are also nohz_full= CPUs.
This failure can result in callbacks that are posted during early boot
getting stranded on nxtlist for CPUs whose no-CBs property becomes
apparent late, and there can also be spurious warnings about offline
CPUs posting callbacks.
This commit fixes these problems by adding an early-boot rcu_init_nohz()
that properly initializes the no-CBs CPUs.
Note that kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL=y or with

The rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() function is on a scheduling fast

makes ->rcu_read_unlock_special instead be a union of bools with a short

Once a task has passed exit_notify() in the do_exit() code path, it

This commit adds a new RCU-tasks flavor of RCU, which provides

occur in tasks, not necessarily CPUs. Includes fixes from Steven Rostedt.
This RCU flavor is assumed to have very infrequent latency-tolerant
updaters. This assumption permits significant simplifications, including
a single global callback list protected by a single global lock, along
with a single task-private linked list containing all tasks that have not
yet passed through a quiescent state. If experience shows this assumption
to be incorrect, the required additional complexity will be added.

* Is the thread we are trying to wake up the current thread?
* Are the gp_flags zero? (all threads wait on non-zero gp_flags condition)
* Is there no thread created for this flavour, hence nothing to wake up?
If any one of these condition is true, we do not call wake_up().
It was found that there are quite a few avoidable wake ups both during
idle time and under stress induced by rcutorture.
Idle:
Total:66000, unnecessary:66000, case1:61827, case2:66000, case3:0

Total:256000, unnecessary:256000, case1:201784, case2:256000, case3:0
Here case{1-3} are the cases listed above. We can avoid these wake
ups by using rcu_gp_kthread_wake() to conditionally wake up the grace
period kthreads.
There is a comment about an implied barrier supplied by the wake_up()
logic. This barrier is necessary for the awakened thread to see the
updated ->gp_flags. This flag is always being updated with the root node
lock held. Also, the awakened thread tries to acquire the root node lock
before reading ->gp_flags because of which there is proper ordering.
Hence this commit tries to avoid calling wake_up() whenever we can by
using rcu_gp_kthread_wake() function.

Note: it looks as if the data grows by 12288 bytes but this is not true,
it does not actually grow. But .data starts with ALIGN(THREAD_SIZE) and
since .text shrinks the padding grows, and thus .data grows too as it
seen by /bin/size. diff System.map:
- ffffffff81510000 D _sdata
- ffffffff81510000 D init_thread_union
+ ffffffff81509000 D _sdata
+ ffffffff8150c000 D init_thread_union
Perhaps we can change vmlinux.lds.S to .data itself, so that /bin/size
can't "wrongly" report that .data grows if .text shinks.
