61f38db3e3 rcu: Provide API to suppress stall warnings while sysrc runs
Some sysrq handlers can run for a long time, because they dump a lot
of data onto a serial console. Having RCU stall warnings pop up in
the middle of them only makes the problem worse.

This commit provides rcu_sysrq_start() and rcu_sysrq_end() APIs to
temporarily suppress RCU CPU stall warnings while a sysrq request is
handled.

The rcu_torture_reader() function uses an on-stack timer_list structure

f0bf8fab4f rcutorture: Explicitly test synchronous grace-period primitives
The original rcu_torture_writer() avoided testing the synchronous
grace-period primitives because they were simply wrappers around
call_rcu() invocations.  The testing of these synchronous primitives
was delegated to the fake writers.  However, there really is no excuse
not to test them, especially in the case of SRCU, where the wrappering
is somewhat more elaborate.  This commit therefore makes the default
rcutorture parameters cause rcu_torture_writer() to include synchronous
grace-period primitives in its testing.

64e4b43ae0 rcutorture: Make rcu_torture_reader() use cond_resched()
The rcu_torture_reader() function currently uses schedule().  This commit
therefore speeds things up a bit by substituting cond_resched().
This change makes rcu_torture_reader() more CPU-bound, so this commit
also adjusts the number of readers (the "nreaders" module parameter,
which feeds into the "nrealreaders" variable) to allow one CPU to be
free of readers on SMP systems.  The point of this is to increase the
probability that readers will be watching while an updater makes a change.

ac1bea8578 sched,rcu: Make cond_resched() report RCU quiescent states
Given a CPU running a loop containing cond_resched(), with no
other tasks runnable on that CPU, RCU will eventually report RCU
CPU stall warnings due to lack of quiescent states.  Fortunately,
every call to cond_resched() is a perfectly good quiescent state.
Unfortunately, invoking rcu_note_context_switch() is a bit heavyweight
for cond_resched(), especially given the need to disable preemption,
and, for RCU-preempt, interrupts as well.

This commit therefore maintains a per-CPU counter that causes
cond_resched(), cond_resched_lock(), and cond_resched_softirq() to call
rcu_note_context_switch(), but only about once per 256 invocations.
This ratio was chosen in keeping with the relative time constants of
RCU grace periods.

becb41bfe0 rcu: Make large and small sysidle systems use same state machine
Currently, small systems move back into RCU_SYSIDLE_NOT from
RCU_SYSIDLE_SHORT and large systems do not.  This works because moving
aggressively to RCU_SYSIDLE_NOT affects only performance, not correctness,
and on small systems, the performance impact should be negligible.  That
said, this difference does make RCU a bit more complex, and RCU does not
seem to be suffering from any lack of complexity.  This commit therefore
adjusts small-system operation to match that of large systems, so that
the state never moves back to RCU_SYSIDLE_NOT from RCU_SYSIDLE_SHORT.

5057f55e54 rcu: Bind RCU grace-period kthreads if NO_HZ_FULL

CPU only if CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE=y.  This means that these
kthreads must be bound manually when CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE=n and

makes this binding happen when CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y, even in cases where
CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE=n.

48a7639ce8 rcu: Make callers awaken grace-period kthread
The rcu_start_gp_advanced() function currently uses irq_work_queue()
to defer wakeups of the RCU grace-period kthread.  This deferring
is necessary to avoid RCU-scheduler deadlocks involving the rcu_node
structure's lock, meaning that RCU cannot call any of the scheduler's
wake-up functions while holding one of these locks.

Unfortunately, the second and subsequent calls to irq_work_queue() are
ignored, and the first call will be ignored (aside from queuing the work
item) if the scheduler-clock tick is turned off.  This is OK for many
uses, especially those where irq_work_queue() is called from an interrupt
or softirq handler, because in those cases the scheduler-clock-tick state
will be re-evaluated, which will turn the scheduler-clock tick back on.
On the next tick, any deferred work will then be processed.

However, this strategy does not always work for RCU, which can be invoked
at process level from idle CPUs.  In this case, the tick might never
be turned back on, indefinitely defering a grace-period start request.
Note that the RCU CPU stall detector cannot see this condition, because
there is no RCU grace period in progress.  Therefore, we can (and do!)
see long tens-of-seconds stalls in grace-period handling.  In theory,
we could see a full grace-period hang, but rcutorture testing to date
has seen only the tens-of-seconds stalls.  Event tracing demonstrates
that irq_work_queue() is being called repeatedly to no effect during
these stalls: The "newreq" event appears repeatedly from a task that is
not one of the grace-period kthreads.

In theory, irq_work_queue() might be fixed to avoid this sort of issue,
but RCU's requirements are unusual and it is quite straightforward to pass
wake-up responsibility up through RCU's call chain, so that the wakeup
happens when the offending locks are released.

This commit therefore makes this change.  The rcu_start_gp_advanced(),
rcu_start_future_gp(), rcu_accelerate_cbs(), rcu_advance_cbs(),
__note_gp_changes(), and rcu_start_gp() functions now return a boolean
which indicates when a wake-up is needed.  A new rcu_gp_kthread_wake()
does the wakeup when it is necessary and safe to do so: No self-wakes,
no wake-ups if the ->gp_flags field indicates there is no need (as in
someone else did the wake-up before we got around to it), and no wake-ups
before the grace-period kthread has been created.

765a3f4fed rcu: Provide grace-period piggybacking API
The following pattern is currently not well supported by RCU:

1.	Make data element inaccessible to RCU readers.

2.	Do work that probably lasts for more than one grace period.

3.	Do something to make sure RCU readers in flight before #1 above
	have completed.

Here are some things that could currently be done:

a.	Do a synchronize_rcu() unconditionally at either #1 or #3 above.
	This works, but imposes needless work and latency.

b.	Post an RCU callback at #1 above that does a wakeup, then
	wait for the wakeup at #3.  This works well, but likely results
	in an extra unneeded grace period.  Open-coding this is also
	a bit more semi-tricky code than would be good.

This commit therefore adds get_state_synchronize_rcu() and
cond_synchronize_rcu() APIs.  Call get_state_synchronize_rcu() at #1
above and pass its return value to cond_synchronize_rcu() at #3 above.
This results in a call to synchronize_rcu() if no grace period has
elapsed between #1 and #3, but requires only a load, comparison, and
memory barrier if a full grace period did elapse.

5cb5c6e18f rcu: Ensure kernel/rcu/rcu.h can be sourced/used stand-alone
The kbuild test bot uncovered an implicit dependence on the
trace header being present before rcu.h in ia64 allmodconfig
that looks like this:

In file included from kernel/ksysfs.c:22:0:
kernel/rcu/rcu.h: In function '__rcu_reclaim':
kernel/rcu/rcu.h:107:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'trace_rcu_invoke_kfree_callback' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
kernel/rcu/rcu.h:112:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'trace_rcu_invoke_callback' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
cc1: some warnings being treated as errors

Looking at other rcu.h users, we can find that they all
were sourcing the trace header in advance of rcu.h itself,
as seen in the context of this diff.  There were also some
inconsistencies as to whether it was or wasn't sourced based
on the parent tracing Kconfig.

Rather than "fix" it at each use site, and have inconsistent
use based on whether "#ifdef CONFIG_RCU_TRACE" was used or not,
lets just source the trace header just once, in the actual consumer
of it, which is rcu.h itself.  We include it unconditionally, as
build testing shows us that is a hard requirement for some files.

bfefc73aa1 rcutorture: Stop generic kthreads in torture_cleanup()
The specific torture modules (like rcutorture) need to call
torture_cleanup() in any case, so this commit makes torture_cleanup()
deal with torture_shutdown_cleanup() and torture_stutter_cleanup() so
that the specific modules don't have to deal with these details.

Creation of kthreads is not RCU-specific, so this commit abstracts
out torture_create_kthread(), saving a few tens of lines of code in
the process.

This change requires modifying VERBOSE_TOROUT_ERRSTRING() to take a
non-const string, so that _torture_create_kthread() can avoid an
open-coded substitute.

7fafaac5b9 rcutorture: Fix rcutorture shutdown races
Not all of the rcutorture kthreads waited for kthread_should_stop()
before returning from their top-level functions, and none of them
used torture_shutdown_absorb() properly.  These problems can result in
segfaults and hangs at shutdown time, and some recent changes perturbed
timing sufficiently to make them much more probable.  This commit
therefore creates a torture_kthread_stopping() function that does the
proper kthread shutdown dance in one centralized location.

Accommodate this grouping by making VERBOSE_TOROUT_STRING() capable of
taking a non-const string as its argument, which allows the new
torture_kthread_stopping() to pass its "title" argument directly to
the updated version of VERBOSE_TOROUT_STRING().
