    tree/tiny rcu: Add debug RCU head objects · 551d55a9
    Mathieu Desnoyers 提交于
    Helps finding racy users of call_rcu(), which results in hangs because list
    entries are overwritten and/or skipped.
    
    Changelog since v4:
    - Bissectability is now OK
    - Now generate a WARN_ON_ONCE() for non-initialized rcu_head passed to
      call_rcu(). Statically initialized objects are detected with
      object_is_static().
    - Rename rcu_head_init_on_stack to init_rcu_head_on_stack.
    - Remove init_rcu_head() completely.
    
    Changelog since v3:
    - Include comments from Lai Jiangshan
    
    This new patch version is based on the debugobjects with the newly introduced
    "active state" tracker.
    
    Non-initialized entries are all considered as "statically initialized". An
    activation fixup (triggered by call_rcu()) takes care of performing the debug
    object initialization without issuing any warning. Since we cannot increase the
    size of struct rcu_head, I don't see much room to put an identifier for
    statically initialized rcu_head structures. So for now, we have to live without
    "activation without explicit init" detection. But the main purpose of this debug
    option is to detect double-activations (double call_rcu() use of a rcu_head
    before the callback is executed), which is correctly addressed here.
    
    This also detects potential internal RCU callback corruption, which would cause
    the callbacks to be executed twice.
