48297a22a3 rcutorture: Use the barrier operation specified by cur_ops
The rcutorture_oom_notify() function unconditionally invokes
rcu_barrier(), which is OK when the rcutorture.torture_type value is
"rcu", but unhelpful otherwise.  The purpose of these barrier calls is to
wait for all outstanding callback-flooding callbacks to be invoked before
cleaning up their data.  Using the wrong barrier function therefore
risks arbitrary memory corruption.  Thus, this commit changes these
rcu_barrier() calls into cur_ops->cb_barrier() to make things work when
torturing non-vanilla flavors of RCU.

528262f502 rcu-tasks: Make RCU Tasks Trace check for userspace execution
Userspace execution is a valid quiescent state for RCU Tasks Trace,
but the scheduling-clock interrupt does not currently report such
quiescent states.

Of course, the scheduling-clock interrupt is not strictly speaking
userspace execution.  However, the only way that this code is not
in a quiescent state is if something invoked rcu_read_lock_trace(),
and that would be reflected in the ->trc_reader_nesting field in
the task_struct structure.  Furthermore, this field is checked by
rcu_tasks_trace_qs(), which is invoked by rcu_tasks_qs() which is in
turn invoked by rcu_note_voluntary_context_switch() in kernels building
at least one of the RCU Tasks flavors.  It is therefore safe to invoke
rcu_tasks_trace_qs() from the rcu_sched_clock_irq().

But rcu_tasks_qs() also invokes rcu_tasks_classic_qs() for RCU
Tasks, which lacks the read-side markers provided by RCU Tasks Trace.
This raises the possibility that an RCU Tasks grace period could start
after the interrupt from userspace execution, but before the call to
rcu_sched_clock_irq().  However, it turns out that this is safe because
the RCU Tasks grace period waits for an RCU grace period, which will
wait for the entire scheduling-clock interrupt handler, including any
RCU Tasks read-side critical section that this handler might contain.

This commit therefore updates the rcu_sched_clock_irq() function's
check for usermode execution and its call to rcu_tasks_classic_qs()
to instead check for both usermode execution and interrupt from idle,
and to instead call rcu_note_voluntary_context_switch().  This
consolidates code and provides more faster RCU Tasks Trace
reporting of quiescent states in kernels that do scheduling-clock
interrupts for userspace execution.

d6ad60635c rcu-tasks: Ensure RCU Tasks Trace loops have quiescent states
The RCU Tasks Trace grace-period kthread loops across all CPUs, and
there can be quite a few CPUs, with some commercially available systems
sporting well over a thousand of them.  Some of these loops can feature
IPIs, which can take some time.  This commit therefore places a call to
cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs() in each such loop.

fcd53c8a4d rcu-tasks: Convert RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() to WARN_ONCE()
Kernels built with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y and CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y
attempt to emit a warning when the synchronize_rcu_tasks_generic()
function is called during early boot while the rcu_scheduler_active
variable is RCU_SCHEDULER_INACTIVE.  However the warnings is not
actually be printed because the debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled() returns
false, exactly because the rcu_scheduler_active variable is still equal
to RCU_SCHEDULER_INACTIVE.

This commit therefore replaces RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() with WARN_ONCE()
to force these warnings to actually be printed.

de3f2671ae srcu: Make Tiny SRCU poll_state_synchronize_srcu() more precise
This commit applies the more-precise grace-period-state check used by
rcu_seq_done_exact() to poll_state_synchronize_srcu().  This is important
because Tiny SRCU uses a 16-bit counter, which can wrap quite quickly.
If counter wrap continues to be a problem, then expanding ->srcu_idx
and ->srcu_idx_max to 32 bits might be warranted.

d761de8a7d rcu: Make synchronize_rcu() fastpath update only boot-CPU counters
Large systems can have hundreds of rcu_node structures, and updating
counters in each of them might slow down booting.  This commit therefore
updates only the counters in those rcu_node structures corresponding

a5d1b0b68a rcu: Set rcu_data structures' initial ->gpwrap value to true
It would be good do reduce the size of the rcu_gp_oldstate structure
from three unsigned long instances to two, but this requires that the
boot-time optimized grace periods update the various ->gp_seq fields.
Updating these fields in the rcu_state structure and in all of the
rcu_node structures is at least semi-reasonable, but updating them in
all of the rcu_data structures is a bridge too far.  This means that if
there are too many early boot-time grace periods, the ->gp_seq field in
the rcu_data structure cannot be trusted.  This commit therefore sets
each rcu_data structure's ->gpwrap field to provide the necessary impetus
for a suitable level of distrust.

258f887aba rcu: Disable run-time single-CPU grace-period optimization
The run-time single-CPU grace-period optimization applies only to
kernels built with CONFIG_SMP=y && CONFIG_PREEMPTION=y that are running
on a single-CPU system.  But a kernel intended for a single-CPU system
should instead be built with CONFIG_SMP=n, and in any case, single-CPU
systems running Linux no longer appear to be the common case.  Plus this
optimization results in the rcu_gp_oldstate structure being half again
larger than it needs to be.

This commit therefore disables the run-time single-CPU grace-period
optimization, so that this optimization applies only during the
pre-scheduler portion of the boot sequence.

3826909635 rcu/kfree: Fix kfree_rcu_shrink_count() return value
As per the comments in include/linux/shrinker.h, .count_objects callback
should return the number of freeable items, but if there are no objects
to free, SHRINK_EMPTY should be returned. The only time 0 is returned
should be when we are unable to determine the number of objects, or the
cache should be skipped for another reason.

093590c16b rcu: Back off upon fill_page_cache_func() allocation failure
The fill_page_cache_func() function allocates couple of pages to store
kvfree_rcu_bulk_data structures. This is a lightweight (GFP_NORETRY)
allocation which can fail under memory pressure. The function will,
however keep retrying even when the previous attempt has failed.

This retrying is in theory correct, but in practice the allocation is
invoked from workqueue context, which means that if the memory reclaim
gets stuck, these retries can hog the worker for quite some time.
Although the workqueues subsystem automatically adjusts concurrency, such
adjustment is not guaranteed to happen until the worker context sleeps.
And the fill_page_cache_func() function's retry loop is not guaranteed
to sleep (see the should_reclaim_retry() function).

And we have seen this function cause workqueue lockups:

kernel: BUG: workqueue lockup - pool cpus=93 node=1 flags=0x1 nice=0 stuck for 32s!
[...]
kernel: pool 74: cpus=37 node=0 flags=0x1 nice=0 hung=32s workers=2 manager: 2146
kernel:   pwq 498: cpus=249 node=1 flags=0x1 nice=0 active=4/256 refcnt=5
kernel:     in-flight: 1917:fill_page_cache_func
kernel:     pending: dbs_work_handler, free_work, kfree_rcu_monitor

Originally, we thought that the root cause of this lockup was several
retries with direct reclaim, but this is not yet confirmed.  Furthermore,
we have seen similar lockups without any heavy memory pressure.  This
suggests that there are other factors contributing to these lockups.
However, it is not really clear that endless retries are desireable.

So let's make the fill_page_cache_func() function back off after
allocation failure.

7634b1eaa0 rcu: Exclude outgoing CPU when it is the last to leave
The rcu_boost_kthread_setaffinity() function removes the outgoing CPU
from the set_cpus_allowed() mask for the corresponding leaf rcu_node
structure's rcub priority-boosting kthread.  Except that if the outgoing
CPU will leave that structure without any online CPUs, the mask is set
to the housekeeping CPU mask from housekeeping_cpumask().  Which is fine
unless the outgoing CPU happens to be a housekeeping CPU.

This commit therefore removes the outgoing CPU from the housekeeping mask.
This would of course be problematic if the outgoing CPU was the last
online housekeeping CPU, but in that case you are in a world of hurt
anyway.  If someone comes up with a valid use case for a system needing
all the housekeeping CPUs to be offline, further adjustments can be made.

621189a1fe rcu: Avoid triggering strict-GP irq-work when RCU is idle
Kernels built with PREEMPT_RCU=y and RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y trigger
irq-work from rcu_read_unlock(), and the resulting irq-work handler
invokes rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handle().  The point of this triggering
is to force grace periods to end quickly in order to give tools like KASAN
a better chance of detecting RCU usage bugs such as leaking RCU-protected
pointers out of an RCU read-side critical section.

However, this irq-work triggering is unconditional.  This works, but
there is no point in doing this irq-work unless the current grace period
is waiting on the running CPU or task, which is not the common case.
After all, in the common case there are many rcu_read_unlock() calls
per CPU per grace period.

This commit therefore triggers the irq-work only when the current grace
period is waiting on the running CPU or task.

This change was tested as follows on a four-CPU system:

	echo rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handler > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
	echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/function_profile_enabled
	insmod rcutorture.ko
	sleep 20
	rmmod rcutorture.ko
	echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/function_profile_enabled
	echo > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter

This procedure produces results in this per-CPU set of files:

	/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/function*

Sample output from one of these files is as follows:

  Function                               Hit    Time            Avg             s^2
  --------                               ---    ----            ---             ---
  rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handle      838746    182650.3 us     0.217 us        0.004 us

The baseline sum of the "Hit" values (the number of calls to this
function) was 3,319,015.  With this commit, that sum was 1,140,359,
for a 2.9x reduction.  The worst-case variance across the CPUs was less
than 25%, so this large effect size is statistically significant.

e73dfe3093 sched/debug: Try trigger_single_cpu_backtrace(cpu) in dump_cpu_task()
The trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() function attempts to send an NMI to the
target CPU, which usually provides much better stack traces than the
dump_cpu_task() function's approach of dumping that stack from some other
CPU.  So much so that most calls to dump_cpu_task() only happen after
a call to trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() has failed.  And the exception to
this rule really should attempt to use trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() first.

Therefore, move the trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() invocation into
dump_cpu_task().

6ca0292ccf rcu: Make tiny RCU support leak callbacks for debug-object errors
Currently, only Tree RCU leaks callbacks setting when it detects a
duplicate call_rcu().  This commit causes Tiny RCU to also leak
callbacks in this situation.

Because this is Tiny RCU, kernel size is important:

1. CONFIG_TINY_RCU=y and CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD=n
   (Production kernel)

    Original:
    text      data      bss       dec       hex     filename
    26290663  20159823  15212544  61663030  3ace736 vmlinux

    With this commit:
    text      data      bss       dec       hex     filename
    26290663  20159823  15212544  61663030  3ace736 vmlinux

2. CONFIG_TINY_RCU=y and CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD=y
   (Debugging kernel)

    Original:
    text      data      bss       dec       hex     filename
    26291319  20160143  15212544  61664006  3aceb06 vmlinux

    With this commit:
    text      data      bss       dec       hex     filename
    26291319  20160431  15212544  61664294  3acec26 vmlinux

These results show that the kernel size is unchanged for production
kernels, as desired.

fcb42c9a77 rcu: Add QS check in rcu_exp_handler() for non-preemptible kernels
Kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPTION=n and CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT=y maintain
preempt_count() state.  Because such kernels map __rcu_read_lock()
and __rcu_read_unlock() to preempt_disable() and preempt_enable(),
respectively, this allows the expedited grace period's !CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU
version of the rcu_exp_handler() IPI handler function to use
preempt_count() to detect quiescent states.

This preempt_count() usage might seem to risk failures due to
use of implicit RCU readers in portions of the kernel under #ifndef
CONFIG_PREEMPTION, except that rcu_core() already disallows such implicit
RCU readers.  The moral of this story is that you must use explicit
read-side markings such as rcu_read_lock() or preempt_disable() even if
the code knows that this kernel does not support preemption.

This commit therefore adds a preempt_count()-based check for a quiescent
state in the !CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU version of the rcu_exp_handler()
function for kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT=y, reporting an
immediate quiescent state when the interrupted code had both preemption
and softirqs enabled.

This change results in about a 2% reduction in expedited grace-period
latency in kernels built with both CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=n and
CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT=y.

bca4fa8cb0 rcu: Update rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() comments for !PREEMPT kernels
In non-premptible kernels, tasks never do context switches within
RCU read-side critical sections.  Therefore, in such kernels, each
leaf rcu_node structure's ->blkd_tasks list will always be empty.
The comment on the non-preemptible version of rcu_preempt_deferred_qs()
confuses this point, so this commit therefore fixes it.

6d60ea03ac rcu: Fix rcu_read_unlock_strict() strict QS reporting
Kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT=n and CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y
report the quiescent state directly from the outermost rcu_read_unlock().
However, the current CPU's rcu_data structure's ->cpu_no_qs.b.norm
might still be set, in which case rcu_report_qs_rdp() will exit early,
thus failing to report quiescent state.

This commit therefore causes rcu_read_unlock_strict() to clear
CPU's rcu_data structure's ->cpu_no_qs.b.norm field before invoking
rcu_report_qs_rdp().

Merge tag 'rcu.2022.07.26a' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu

Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney:

 - Documentation updates

 - Miscellaneous fixes

 - Callback-offload updates, perhaps most notably a new
   RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL Kconfig option that causes all CPUs to be
   offloaded at boot time, regardless of kernel boot parameters.

   This is useful to battery-powered systems such as ChromeOS and
   Android. In addition, a new RCU_NOCB_CPU_CB_BOOST kernel boot
   parameter prevents offloaded callbacks from interfering with
   real-time workloads and with energy-efficiency mechanisms

 - Polled grace-period updates, perhaps most notably making these APIs
   account for both normal and expedited grace periods

 - Tasks RCU updates, perhaps most notably reducing the CPU overhead of
   RCU tasks trace grace periods by more than a factor of two on a
   system with 15,000 tasks.

   The reduction is expected to increase with the number of tasks, so it
   seems reasonable to hypothesize that a system with 150,000 tasks
   might see a 20-fold reduction in CPU overhead

 - Torture-test updates

 - Updates that merge RCU's dyntick-idle tracking into context tracking,
   thus reducing the overhead of transitioning to kernel mode from
   either idle or nohz_full userspace execution for kernels that track
   context independently of RCU.

   This is expected to be helpful primarily for kernels built with
   CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y

4ba1329cbb Urgent RCU pull request for v5.19
This pull request contains a pair of commits that fix 282d8998e9 ("srcu:
 Prevent expedited GPs and blocking readers from consuming CPU"), which
 was itself a fix to an SRCU expedited grace-period problem that could
 prevent kernel live patching (KLP) from completing.  That SRCU fix for
 KLP introduced large (as in minutes) boot-time delays to embedded Linux
 kernels running on qemu/KVM.  These delays were due to the emulation of
 certain MMIO operations controlling memory layout, which were emulated
 with one expedited grace period per access.  Common configurations
 required thousands of boot-time MMIO accesses, and thus thousands of
 boot-time expedited SRCU grace periods.
 
 In these configurations, the occasional sleeps that allowed KLP to proceed
 caused excessive boot delays.  These commits preserve enough sleeps to
 permit KLP to proceed, but few enough that the virtual embedded kernels
 still boot reasonably quickly.
 
 This represents a regression introduced in the v5.19 merge window,
 and the bug is causing significant inconvenience, hence this pull request.
