aa3e0bf1aa rcu: Don't kick unless grace period or request
The current code can result in spurious kicks when there are no grace
periods in progress and no grace-period-related requests.  This is
sort of OK for a diagnostic aid, but the resulting ftrace-dump messages
in dmesg are annoying.  This commit therefore avoids spurious kicks
in the common case.

0742ac3e2f rcu: Make expedited grace periods recheck dyntick idle state
Expedited grace periods check dyntick-idle state, and avoid sending
IPIs to idle CPUs, including those running guest OSes, and, on NOHZ_FULL
kernels, nohz_full CPUs.  However, the kernel has been observed checking
a CPU while it was non-idle, but sending the IPI after it has gone
idle.  This commit therefore rechecks idle state immediately before
sending the IPI, refraining from IPIing CPUs that have since gone idle.

d0af39e89e torture: Trace long read-side delays
Although rcutorture will occasionally do a 50-millisecond grace-period
delay, these delays are quite rare.  And rightly so, because otherwise
the read rate would be quite low.  Thie means that it can be important
to identify whether or not a given run contained a long-delay read.
This commit therefore inserts a trace_rcu_torture_read() event to flag
runs containing long delays.

1f21b50b77 rcu: Remove obsolete comment from __call_rcu()
The __call_rcu() comment about opportunistically noting grace period
beginnings and endings is obsolete.  RCU still does such opportunistic
noting, but in __call_rcu_core() rather than __call_rcu(), and there
already is an appropriate comment in __call_rcu_core().  This commit
therefore removes the obsolete comment.

b8f2ed5384 rcu: Tighten up __call_rcu() rcu_head alignment check
Commit 720abae3d6 ("rcu: force alignment on struct
callback_head/rcu_head") forced the rcu_head (AKA callback_head)
structure's alignment to pointer size, that is, to 4-byte boundaries on
32-bit systems and to 8-byte boundaries on 64-bit systems.  This
commit therefore checks for this same alignment in __call_rcu(),
which used to contain a looser check for two-byte alignment.

9ffc66941d This adds a new gcc plugin named "latent_entropy". It is designed to
extract as much possible uncertainty from a running system at boot time as
 possible, hoping to capitalize on any possible variation in CPU operation
 (due to runtime data differences, hardware differences, SMP ordering,
 thermal timing variation, cache behavior, etc).
 
 At the very least, this plugin is a much more comprehensive example for
 how to manipulate kernel code using the gcc plugin internals.

0766f788eb latent_entropy: Mark functions with __latent_entropy
The __latent_entropy gcc attribute can be used only on functions and
variables.  If it is on a function then the plugin will instrument it for
gathering control-flow entropy. If the attribute is on a variable then
the plugin will initialize it with random contents.  The variable must
be an integer, an integer array type or a structure with integer fields.

These specific functions have been selected because they are init
functions (to help gather boot-time entropy), are called at unpredictable
times, or they have variable loops, each of which provide some level of
latent entropy.

7ec99de36f rcu: Provide exact CPU-online tracking for RCU
Up to now, RCU has assumed that the CPU-online process makes it from
CPU_UP_PREPARE to set_cpu_online() within one jiffy.  Given the recent
rise of virtualized environments, this assumption is very clearly
obsolete.  Failing to meet this deadline can result in RCU paying
attention to an incoming CPU for one jiffy, then ignoring it until the
grace period following the one in which that CPU sets itself online.
This situation might prove to be fatally disappointing to any RCU
read-side critical sections that had the misfortune to execute during
the time in which RCU was ignoring the slow-to-come-online CPU.

This commit therefore updates RCU's internal CPU state-tracking
information at notify_cpu_starting() time, thus providing RCU with
an exact transition of the CPU's state from offline to online.

Note that this means that incoming CPUs must not use RCU read-side
critical section (other than those of SRCU) until notify_cpu_starting()
time.  Note also that the CPU_STARTING notifiers -are- allowed to use
RCU read-side critical sections.  (Of course, CPU-hotplug notifiers are
rapidly becoming obsolete, so you need to act fast!)

If a given architecture or CPU family needs to use RCU read-side
critical sections earlier, the call to rcu_cpu_starting() from
notify_cpu_starting() will need to be architecture-specific, with
architectures that need early use being required to hand-place
the call to rcu_cpu_starting() at some point preceding the call to
notify_cpu_starting().

3563a438f1 rcu: Avoid redundant quiescent-state chasing
Currently, __note_gp_changes() checks to see if the CPU has slept through
multiple grace periods.  If it has, it resynchronizes that CPU's view
of the grace-period state, which includes whether or not the current
grace period needs a quiescent state from this CPU.  The fact of this
need (or lack thereof) needs to be in two places, rdp->cpu_no_qs.b.norm
and rdp->core_needs_qs.  The former tells RCU's context-switch code to
go get a quiescent state and the latter says that it needs to be reported.
The current code unconditionally sets the former to true, but correctly
sets the latter.

This does not result in failures, but it does unnecessarily increase
the amount of work done on average at context-switch time.  This commit
therefore correctly sets both fields.

e77b704125 rcu: Don't use modular infrastructure in non-modular code
The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of tree.c is:

init/Kconfig:config TREE_RCU
init/Kconfig:   bool

...and update.c and sync.c are "obj-y" meaning that none are ever
built as a module by anyone.

Since MODULE_ALIAS is a no-op for non-modular code, we can remove
them from these files.

We leave moduleparam.h behind since the files instantiate some boot
time configuration parameters with module_param() still.

8b355e3bc1 rcu: Drive expedited grace periods from workqueue
The current implementation of expedited grace periods has the user
task drive the grace period.  This works, but has downsides: (1) The
user task must awaken tasks piggybacking on this grace period, which
can result in latencies rivaling that of the grace period itself, and
(2) User tasks can receive signals, which interfere with RCU CPU stall
warnings.

This commit therefore uses workqueues to drive the grace periods, so
that the user task need not do the awakening.  A subsequent commit
will remove the now-unnecessary code allowing for signals.

It turns out that the rcuos callback-offload kthread is busy processing
a very large quantity of RCU callbacks, and it is not reliquishing the
CPU while doing so.  This commit therefore adds an cond_resched_rcu_qs()
within the loop to allow other tasks to run.

3942a9bd7b locking, rcu, cgroup: Avoid synchronize_sched() in __cgroup_procs_write()
The current percpu-rwsem read side is entirely free of serializing insns
at the cost of having a synchronize_sched() in the write path.

The latency of the synchronize_sched() is too high for cgroups. The
commit 1ed1328792 talks about the write path being a fairly cold path
but this is not the case for Android which moves task to the foreground
cgroup and back around binder IPC calls from foreground processes to
background processes, so it is significantly hotter than human initiated
operations.

Switch cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem into the slow mode for now to avoid the
problem, hopefully it should not be that slow after another commit:

  80127a3968 ("locking/percpu-rwsem: Optimize readers and reduce global impact").

We could just add rcu_sync_enter() into cgroup_init() but we do not want
another synchronize_sched() at boot time, so this patch adds the new helper
which doesn't block but currently can only be called before the first use.

80127a3968 locking/percpu-rwsem: Optimize readers and reduce global impact
Currently the percpu-rwsem switches to (global) atomic ops while a
writer is waiting; which could be quite a while and slows down
releasing the readers.

This patch cures this problem by ordering the reader-state vs
reader-count (see the comments in __percpu_down_read() and
percpu_down_write()). This changes a global atomic op into a full
memory barrier, which doesn't have the global cacheline contention.

This also enables using the percpu-rwsem with rcu_sync disabled in order
to bias the implementation differently, reducing the writer latency by
adding some cost to readers.

bc75e99983 rcu: Correctly handle sparse possible cpus
In many cases in the RCU tree code, we iterate over the set of cpus for
a leaf node described by rcu_node::grplo and rcu_node::grphi, checking
per-cpu data for each cpu in this range. However, if the set of possible
cpus is sparse, some cpus described in this range are not possible, and
thus no per-cpu region will have been allocated (or initialised) for
them by the generic percpu code.

Erroneous accesses to a per-cpu area for these !possible cpus may fault
or may hit other data depending on the addressed generated when the
erroneous per cpu offset is applied. In practice, both cases have been
observed on arm64 hardware (the former being silent, but detectable with
additional patches).

To avoid issues resulting from this, we must iterate over the set of
*possible* cpus for a given leaf node. This patch add a new helper,
for_each_leaf_node_possible_cpu, to enable this. As iteration is often
intertwined with rcu_node local bitmask manipulation, a new
leaf_node_cpu_bit helper is added to make this simpler and more
consistent. The RCU tree code is made to use both of these where
appropriate.

Without this patch, running reboot at a shell can result in an oops
like:

088e9d253d rcu: sysctl: Panic on RCU Stall
It is not always easy to determine the cause of an RCU stall just by
analysing the RCU stall messages, mainly when the problem is caused
by the indirect starvation of rcu threads. For example, when preempt_rcu
is not awakened due to the starvation of a timer softirq.

We have been hard coding panic() in the RCU stall functions for
some time while testing the kernel-rt. But this is not possible in
some scenarios, like when supporting customers.

This patch implements the sysctl kernel.panic_on_rcu_stall. If
set to 1, the system will panic() when an RCU stall takes place,
enabling the capture of a vmcore. The vmcore provides a way to analyze
all kernel/tasks states, helping out to point to the culprit and the
solution for the stall.

The kernel.panic_on_rcu_stall sysctl is disabled by default.

Changes from v1:
- Fixed a typo in the git log
- The if(sysctl_panic_on_rcu_stall) panic() is in a static function
- Fixed the CONFIG_TINY_RCU compilation issue
- The var sysctl_panic_on_rcu_stall is now __read_mostly

4929c913bd rcu: Make call_rcu_tasks() tolerate first call with irqs disabled
Currently, if the very first call to call_rcu_tasks() has irqs disabled,
it will create the rcu_tasks_kthread with irqs disabled, which will
result in a splat in the memory allocator, which kthread_run() invokes
with the expectation that irqs are enabled.

This commit fixes this problem by deferring kthread creation if called
with irqs disabled.  The first call to call_rcu_tasks() that has irqs
enabled will create the kthread.

This bug was detected by rcutorture changes that were motivated by
Iftekhar Ahmed's mutation-testing efforts.

af06d4f74a rcuperf: Don't treat gp_exp mis-setting as a WARN
0day found a boot warning triggered in rcu_perf_writer() on !SMP kernel:

	WARN_ON(rcu_gp_is_normal() && gp_exp);

, the root cause of which is trying to measure expedited grace
periods(by setting gp_exp to true by default) when all the grace periods
are normal(TINY RCU only has normal grace periods).

However, such a mis-setting would only result in failing to measure the
performance for a specific kind of grace periods, therefore using a
WARN_ON to check this is a little overkilling. We could handle this
inside rcuperf module via some error messages to tell users about the
mis-settings.

Therefore this patch removes the WARN_ON in rcu_perf_writer() and
handles those checkings in rcu_perf_init() with plain if() code.

Moreover, this patch changes the default value of gp_exp to 1) align
with rcutorture tests and 2) make the default setting work for all RCU
implementations by default.

It also converts an #ifdef into IS_ENABLED(), saving a few lines of code.

f8cbdee99b torture: Simplify code, eliminate RCU_PERF_TEST_RUNNABLE
This commit applies the infamous IS_ENABLED() macro to eliminate a #ifdef.
It also eliminates the RCU_PERF_TEST_RUNNABLE Kconfig option in favor
of the already-existing rcuperf.perf_runnable kernel boot parameter.

People have been having some difficulty finding their way around the
RCU code.  This commit therefore pulls some of the expedited grace-period
code from tree.c to a new tree_exp.h file.  This commit is strictly code

A subsequent commit will move the remaining expedited grace-period code
from tree_plugin.h to tree_exp.h.

590d1757b9 rcu: Fix outdated hotplug-exclusion comment in rcu_gp_init()
In the past, RCU grace-period initialization excluded CPU-hotplug
operations, but this is no longer the case.  This commit therefore
removed an outdated comment in rcu_gp_init() claiming that these
are excluded.

0d95092ccb rcu: Fix outdated rcu_scheduler_active comment
The comment header for rcu_scheduler_active states that it is used
to optimize synchronize_sched() at early boot.  This is incorrect.
The synchronize_sched() function instead checks the number of online
CPUs.  This commit therefore replaces the comment's synchronize_sched()
with synchronize_rcu(), which really does use rcu_scheduler_active for
this purpose.

6428671bae locking/mutex: Optimize mutex_trylock() fast-path
A while back Viro posted a number of 'interesting' mutex_is_locked()
users on IRC, one of those was RCU.

RCU seems to use mutex_is_locked() to avoid doing mutex_trylock(), the
regular load before modify pattern.

While the use isn't wrong per se, its curious in that its needed at all,
mutex_trylock() should be good enough on its own to avoid the pointless
cacheline bounces.

So fix those and remove the mutex_is_locked() (ab)use from RCU.

b9fdac7f66 debugobjects: insulate non-fixup logic related to static obj from fixup callbacks
When activating a static object we need make sure that the object is
tracked in the object tracker.  If it is a non-static object then the
activation is illegal.

In previous implementation, each subsystem need take care of this in
their fixup callbacks.  Actually we can put it into debugobjects core.
Thus we can save duplicated code, and have *pure* fixup callbacks.

To achieve this, a new callback "is_static_object" is introduced to let
the type specific code decide whether a object is static or not.  If
yes, we take it into object tracker, otherwise give warning and invoke
fixup callback.

This change has paassed debugobjects selftest, and I also do some test
with all debugobjects supports enabled.

At last, I have a concern about the fixups that can it change the object
which is in incorrect state on fixup? Because the 'addr' may not point
to any valid object if a non-static object is not tracked.  Then Change
such object can overwrite someone's memory and cause unexpected
behaviour.  For example, the timer_fixup_activate bind timer to function
stub_timer.

de26ca19a5 rcutorture: Consider FROZEN hotplug notifier transitions
The hotplug notifier rcutorture_cpu_notify() doesn't consider the
corresponding CPU_XXX_FROZEN transitions. They occur on
suspend/resume and are usually handled the same way as the
corresponding non frozen transitions.

Mask the switch case action argument with '~CPU_TASKS_FROZEN' to map
CPU_XXX_FROZEN hotplug transitions on corresponding non-frozen
transitions.
