When RCU detects a grace-period stall, it currently just prints
out the PID of any tasks doing the stalling.  This patch adds
RCU_CPU_STALL_VERBOSE, which enables the more-verbose reporting
from sched_show_task().

Under TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, print_other_cpu_stall() invokes
rcu_print_task_stall() with the root rcu_node structure's ->lock
held, and rcu_print_task_stall() acquires that same lock for
self-deadlock. Fix this by removing the lock acquisition from
rcu_print_task_stall(), and making all callers acquire the lock
instead.

Currently, rcu_needs_cpu() simply checks whether the current CPU
has an outstanding RCU callback, which means that the last CPU
to go into dyntick-idle mode might wait a few ticks for the
relevant grace periods to complete.  However, if all the other
CPUs are in dyntick-idle mode, and if this CPU is in a quiescent
state (which it is for RCU-bh and RCU-sched any time that we are
considering going into dyntick-idle mode), then the grace period
is instantly complete.

This patch therefore repeatedly invokes the RCU grace-period
machinery in order to force any needed grace periods to complete
quickly.  It does so a limited number of times in order to
prevent starvation by an RCU callback function that might pass
itself to call_rcu().

However, if any CPU other than the current one is not in
dyntick-idle mode, fall back to simply checking (with fix to bug
noted by Lai Jiangshan).  Also, take advantage of last
grace-period forcing, the opportunity to do so noted by Steve
Rostedt.  And apply simplified #ifdef condition suggested by
Frederic Weisbecker.

TREE_PREEMPT_RCU maintains an rcu_read_lock_nesting counter in
the task structure, which happens to be a signed int.  So this
patch adds a check for this counter being negative at the end of
__rcu_read_unlock(). This check is under CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING,
so can be thought of as being part of lockdep.

The number of "quiet" functions has grown recently, and the
names are no longer very descriptive.  The point of all of these
functions is to do some portion of the task of reporting a
quiescent state, so rename them accordingly:

o	cpu_quiet() becomes rcu_report_qs_rdp(), which reports a
	quiescent state to the per-CPU rcu_data structure.  If this
	turns out to be a new quiescent state for this grace period,
	then rcu_report_qs_rnp() will be invoked to propagate the
	quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy.

o	cpu_quiet_msk() becomes rcu_report_qs_rnp(), which reports
	a quiescent state for a given CPU (or possibly a set of CPUs)
	up the rcu_node hierarchy.

o	cpu_quiet_msk_finish() becomes rcu_report_qs_rsp(), which
	reports a full set of quiescent states to the global rcu_state
	structure.

o	task_quiet() becomes rcu_report_unblock_qs_rnp(), which reports
	a quiescent state due to a task exiting an RCU read-side critical
	section that had previously blocked in that same critical section.
	As indicated by the new name, this type of quiescent state is
	reported up the rcu_node hierarchy (using rcu_report_qs_rnp()
	to do so).

When the last CPU of a given leaf rcu_node structure goes
offline, all of the tasks queued on that leaf rcu_node structure
(due to having blocked in their current RCU read-side critical
sections) are requeued onto the root rcu_node structure.  This
requeuing is carried out by rcu_preempt_offline_tasks().
However, it is possible that these queued tasks are the only
thing preventing the leaf rcu_node structure from reporting a
quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy.  Unfortunately, the
old code would fail to do this reporting, resulting in a
grace-period stall given the following sequence of events:

1.	Kernel built for more than 32 CPUs on 32-bit systems or for more
	than 64 CPUs on 64-bit systems, so that there is more than one
	rcu_node structure.  (Or CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT is artificially set
	to a number smaller than CONFIG_NR_CPUS.)

2.	The kernel is built with CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU.

3.	A task running on a CPU associated with a given leaf rcu_node
	structure blocks while in an RCU read-side critical section
	-and- that CPU has not yet passed through a quiescent state
	for the current RCU grace period.  This will cause the task
	to be queued on the leaf rcu_node's blocked_tasks[] array, in
	particular, on the element of this array corresponding to the
	current grace period.

4.	Each of the remaining CPUs corresponding to this same leaf rcu_node
	structure pass through a quiescent state.  However, the task is
	still in its RCU read-side critical section, so these quiescent
	states cannot be reported further up the rcu_node hierarchy.
	Nevertheless, all bits in the leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask
	field are now zero.

5.	Each of the remaining CPUs go offline.  (The events in step
	#4 and #5 can happen in any order as long as each CPU passes
	through a quiescent state before going offline.)

6.	When the last CPU goes offline, __rcu_offline_cpu() will invoke
	rcu_preempt_offline_tasks(), which will move the task to the
	root rcu_node structure, but without reporting a quiescent state
	up the rcu_node hierarchy (and this failure to report a quiescent
	state is the bug).

	But because this leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask field is
	already zero and its ->block_tasks[] entries are all empty,
	force_quiescent_state() will skip this rcu_node structure.

	Therefore, grace periods are now hung.

This patch abstracts some code out of rcu_read_unlock_special(),
calling the result task_quiet() by analogy with cpu_quiet(), and
invokes task_quiet() from both rcu_read_lock_special() and
__rcu_offline_cpu().  Invoking task_quiet() from
__rcu_offline_cpu() reports the quiescent state up the rcu_node
hierarchy, fixing the bug.  This ends up requiring a separate
lock_class_key per level of the rcu_node hierarchy, which this
patch also provides.

The rdp->passed_quiesc_completed fields are used to properly
associate the recorded quiescent state with a grace period.  It
is OK to wrongly associate a given quiescent state with a
preceding grace period, but it is fatal to associate a given
quiescent state with a grace period that begins after the
quiescent state occurred.  Grace periods are numbered, and the
following fields track them:

o	->gpnum is the number of the grace period currently in
	progress, or the number of the last grace period to
	complete if no grace period is currently in progress.

o	->completed is the number of the last grace period to
	have completed.

These two fields are equal if there is no grace period in
progress, otherwise ->gpnum is one greater than ->completed.
But the rdp->passed_quiesc_completed field compared against
->completed, and if equal, the quiescent state is presumed to
count against the current grace period.

The earlier code copied rdp->completed to
rdp->passed_quiesc_completed, which has been made to work, but
is error-prone.  In contrast, copying one less than rdp->gpnum
is guaranteed safe, because rdp->gpnum is not incremented until
after the start of the corresponding grace period. At the end of
the grace period, when ->completed has incremented, then any
quiescent periods recorded previously will be discarded.

If the following sequence of events occurs, then
TREE_PREEMPT_RCU will hang waiting for a grace period to
complete, eventually OOMing the system:

o	A TREE_PREEMPT_RCU build of the kernel is booted on a system
	with more than 64 physical CPUs present (32 on a 32-bit system).
	Alternatively, a TREE_PREEMPT_RCU build of the kernel is booted
	with RCU_FANOUT set to a sufficiently small value that the
	physical CPUs populate two or more leaf rcu_node structures.

o	A task is preempted in an RCU read-side critical section
	while running on a CPU corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node
	structure.

o	All CPUs corresponding to this same leaf rcu_node structure
	record quiescent states for the current grace period.

o	All of these same CPUs go offline (hence the need for enough
	physical CPUs to populate more than one leaf rcu_node structure).
	This causes the preempted task to be moved to the root rcu_node
	structure.

At this point, there is nothing left to cause the quiescent
state to be propagated up the rcu_node tree, so the current
grace period never completes.

The simplest fix, especially after considering the deadlock
possibilities, is to detect this situation when the last CPU is
offlined, and to set that CPU's ->qsmask bit in its leaf
rcu_node structure.  This will cause the next invocation of
force_quiescent_state() to end the grace period.

Without this fix, this hang can be triggered in an hour or so on
some machines with rcutorture and random CPU onlining/offlining.
With this fix, these same machines pass a full 10 hours of this
sort of abuse.

The current interaction between RCU and CPU hotplug requires that
RCU block in CPU notifiers waiting for callbacks to drain.

This can be greatly simplified by having each CPU relinquish its
own callbacks, and for both _rcu_barrier() and CPU_DEAD notifiers
to adopt all callbacks that were previously relinquished.

This change also eliminates the possibility of certain types of
hangs due to the previous practice of waiting for callbacks to be
invoked from within CPU notifiers.  If you don't every wait, you
cannot hang.

Commit de078d87 ("rcu: Need to update rnp->gpnum if preemptable RCU
is to be reliable") repeatedly and incorrectly initializes the root
rcu_node structure's ->gpnum field rather than initializing the
->gpnum field of each node in the tree.  Fix this.  Also add an
additional consistency check to catch this in the future.

o Drop the calls to cpu_quiet() from the online/offline code.
  These are unnecessary, since force_quiescent_state() will
  clean up, and removing them simplifies the code a bit.

o Add a warning to check that we don't enqueue the same blocked
  task twice onto the ->blocked_tasks[] lists.

o Rework the phase computation in rcu_preempt_note_context_switch()
  to be more readable, as suggested by Josh Triplett.

o Disable irqs to close a race between the scheduling clock
  interrupt and rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() WRT the
  ->rcu_read_unlock_special field.

o Add comments to rnp->lock acquisition and release within
  rcu_read_unlock_special() noting that irqs are already
  disabled.

o Verify that qsmask bits stay clear through GP
  initialization.

o Verify that cpu_quiet_msk_finish() is never invoked unless
  there actually is an RCU grace period in progress.

o Verify that all internal-node rcu_node structures have empty
  blocked_tasks[] lists.

o Verify that child rcu_node structure's bits remain clear after
  acquiring parent's lock.

The earlier approach required two scheduling-clock ticks to note an
preemptable-RCU quiescent state in the situation in which the
scheduling-clock interrupt is unlucky enough to always interrupt an
RCU read-side critical section.

With this change, the quiescent state is instead noted by the
outermost rcu_read_unlock() immediately following the first
scheduling-clock tick, or, alternatively, by the first subsequent
context switch.  Therefore, this change also speeds up grace
periods.

Check to make sure that there are no blocked tasks for the previous
grace period while initializing for the next grace period, verify
that rcu_preempt_qs() is given the correct CPU number and is never
called for an offline CPU.

When offlining CPUs from a multi-level tree, there is the
possibility of offlining the last CPU from a given node when
there are preempted RCU read-side critical sections that
started life on one of the CPUs on that node.

In this case, the corresponding tasks will be enqueued via the
task_struct's rcu_node_entry list_head onto one of the
rcu_node's blocked_tasks[] lists.  These tasks need to be moved
somewhere else so that they will prevent the current grace
period from ending. That somewhere is the root rcu_node.

Add preemptable-RCU plugin to handle the CPU-offline
processing.

An additional plugin is forthcoming to handle multinode RCU
trees, but this current plugin works for configurations up to
32 CPUs (64 CPUs for 64-bit kernels).

Create a kernel/rcutree_plugin.h file that contains definitions
for preemptable RCU (or, under the #else branch of the #ifdef,
empty definitions for the classic non-preemptable semantics).
These definitions fit into plugins defined in kernel/rcutree.c
for this purpose.

This variant of preemptable RCU uses a new algorithm whose
read-side expense is roughly that of classic hierarchical RCU
under CONFIG_PREEMPT. This new algorithm's update-side expense
is similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence
of read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic
hierarchical RCU.  Perhaps more important, this new algorithm
has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines
of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable
RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new
algorithm.

The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task
nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple
lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block
within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons
learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations
over the past 18 months.
