This commit moves the rcu_init_levelspread() function from kernel/rcu/tree.c to kernel/rcu/rcu.h so that SRCU can access it. This is another step towards enabling SRCU to create its own combining tree. This commit is code-movement only, give or take knock-on adjustments. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

RCU has only one multi-tail callback list, which is implemented via the nxtlist, nxttail, nxtcompleted, qlen_lazy, and qlen fields in the rcu_data structure, and whose operations are open-code throughout the Tree RCU implementation. This has been more or less OK in the past, but upcoming callback-list optimizations in SRCU could really use a multi-tail callback list there as well. This commit therefore abstracts the multi-tail callback list handling into a new kernel/rcu/rcu_segcblist.h file, and uses this new API. The simple head-and-tail pointer callback list is also abstracted and applied everywhere except for the NOCB callback-offload lists. (Yes, the plan is to apply them there as well, but this commit is already bigger than would be good.) Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This commit is the fourth step towards full abstraction of all accesses to the ->dynticks counter, implementing previously open-coded checks and comparisons in new rcu_dynticks_in_eqs() and rcu_dynticks_in_eqs_since() functions.

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.

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is: init/Kconfig:config TREE_RCU_TRACE init/Kconfig: def_bool RCU_TRACE && ( TREE_RCU || PREEMPT_RCU ) ...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone. Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that when reading the file there is no doubt it is builtin-only. Since module_init translates to device_initcall in the non-modular case, the init ordering remains unchanged with this commit. We could consider moving this to an earlier initcall if desired. We don't replace module.h with init.h since the file already has that. We also delete the moduleparam.h include that is left over from commit 64db4cff (""Tree RCU": scalable classic RCU implementation") since it is not needed here either. We morph some tags like MODULE_AUTHOR into the comments at the top of the file for documentation purposes. Cc: "Paul E.

Currently, the piggybacked-work checks carried out by sync_exp_work_done() atomically increment a small set of variables (the ->expedited_workdone0, ->expedited_workdone1, ->expedited_workdone2, ->expedited_workdone3 fields in the rcu_state structure), which will form a memory-contention bottleneck given a sufficiently large number of CPUs concurrently invoking either synchronize_rcu_expedited() or synchronize_sched_expedited(). This commit therefore moves these for fields to the per-CPU rcu_data structure, eliminating the memory contention.

Commit commit 4cdfc175 ("rcu: Move quiescent-state forcing into kthread") started the process of folding the old ->fqs_state into ->gp_state, but did not complete it. This situation does not cause any malfunction, but can result in extremely confusing trace output. This commit completes this task of eliminating ->fqs_state in favor of ->gp_state. The old ->fqs_state was also used to decide when to collect dyntick-idle snapshots. For this purpose, we add a boolean variable into the kthread, which is set on the first call to rcu_gp_fqs() for a given grace period and clear otherwise.

This commit converts the rcu_data structure's ->cpu_no_qs field to a union. The bytewise side of this union allows individual access to indications as to whether this CPU needs to find a quiescent state for a normal (.norm) and/or expedited (.exp) grace period. The setwise side of the union allows testing whether or not a quiescent state is needed at all, for either type of grace period. For now, only .norm is used.

Sequentially stopping the CPUs slows down expedited grace periods by at least a factor of two, based on rcutorture's grace-period-per-second rate. This is a conservative measure because rcutorture uses unusually long RCU read-side critical sections and because rcutorture periodically quiesces the system in order to test RCU's ability to ramp down to and up from the idle state. This commit therefore replaces the stop_one_cpu() with stop_one_cpu_nowait(), using an atomic-counter scheme to determine when all CPUs have passed through the stopped state.

Now that synchronize_sched_expedited() have a mutex, it can use simpler work-already-done detection scheme. This commit simplifies this scheme by using something similar to the sequence-locking counter scheme. A counter is incremented before and after each grace period, so that the counter is odd in the midst of the grace period and even otherwise. So if the counter has advanced to the second even number that is greater than or equal to the snapshot, the required grace period has already happened. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

Races between CPU hotplug and grace periods can be difficult to resolve, so the ->onoff_mutex is used to exclude the two events. Unfortunately, this means that it is impossible for an outgoing CPU to perform the last bits of its offlining from its last pass through the idle loop, because sleeplocks cannot be acquired in that context. This commit avoids these problems by buffering online and offline events in a new ->qsmaskinitnext field in the leaf rcu_node structures. When a grace period starts, the events accumulated in this mask are applied to the ->qsmaskinit field, and, if needed, up the rcu_node tree. The special case of all CPUs corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node structure being offline while there are still elements in that structure's ->blkd_tasks list is handled using a new ->wait_blkd_tasks field. In this case, propagating the offline bits up the tree is deferred until the beginning of the grace period after all of the tasks have exited their RCU read-side critical sections and removed themselves from the list, at which point the ->wait_blkd_tasks flag is cleared. If one of that leaf rcu_node structure's CPUs comes back online before the list empties, then the ->wait_blkd_tasks flag is simply cleared. This of course means that RCU's notion of which CPUs are offline can be out of date. This is OK because RCU need only wait on CPUs that were online at the time that the grace period started. In addition, RCU's force-quiescent-state actions will handle the case where a CPU goes offline after the grace period starts. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Although cond_resched_rcu_qs() only applies to TASKS_RCU, it is used in places where it would be useful for it to apply to the normal RCU flavors, rcu_preempt, rcu_sched, and rcu_bh. This is especially the case for workloads that aggressively overload the system, particularly those that generate large numbers of RCU updates on systems running NO_HZ_FULL CPUs. This commit therefore communicates quiescent states from cond_resched_rcu_qs() to the normal RCU flavors. Note that it is unfortunately necessary to leave the old ->passed_quiesce mechanism in place to allow quiescent states that apply to only one flavor to be recorded. (Yes, we could decrement ->rcu_qs_ctr_snap in that case, but that is not so good for debugging of RCU internals.) In addition, if one of the RCU flavor's grace period has stalled, this will invoke rcu_momentary_dyntick_idle(), resulting in a heavy-weight quiescent state visible from other CPUs.

The reason that call_rcu() needs to invoke the scheduler is to wake up the corresponding rcuo callback-offload kthread, which does the job of starting up a grace period and invoking the callbacks afterwards. One solution (championed on a related problem by Lai Jiangshan) is to simply defer the wakeup to some point where scheduler locks are no longer held. Since we don't want to unnecessarily incur the cost of such deferral, the task before us is threefold: 1. Determine when it is likely that a relevant scheduler lock is held. 2. Defer the wakeup in such cases. 3. Ensure that all deferred wakeups eventually happen, preferably sooner rather than later. We use irqs_disabled_flags() as a proxy for relevant scheduler locks being held. This works because the relevant locks are always acquired with interrupts disabled. We may defer more often than needed, but that is at least safe. The wakeup deferral is tracked via a new field in the per-CPU and per-RCU-flavor rcu_data structure, namely ->nocb_defer_wakeup. This flag is checked by the RCU core processing. The __rcu_pending() function now checks this flag, which causes rcu_check_callbacks() to initiate RCU core processing at each scheduling-clock interrupt where this flag is set. Of course this is not sufficient because scheduling-clock interrupts are often turned off (the things we used to be able to count on!). So the flags are also checked on entry to any state that RCU considers to be idle, which includes both NO_HZ_IDLE idle state and NO_HZ_FULL user-mode-execution state. This approach should allow call_rcu() to be invoked regardless of what locks you might be holding, the key word being "should". Reported-by: NDave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

Because RCU callbacks are now associated with the number of the grace period that they must wait for, CPUs can now take advance callbacks corresponding to grace periods that ended while a given CPU was in dyntick-idle mode. This eliminates the need to try forcing the RCU state machine while entering idle, thus reducing the CPU intensiveness of RCU_FAST_NO_HZ, which should increase its energy efficiency.

Currently, callback invocations from callback-free CPUs are accounted to the CPU that registered the callback, but using the same field that is used for normal callbacks. This makes it impossible to determine from debugfs output whether callbacks are in fact being diverted. This commit therefore adds a separate ->n_nocbs_invoked field in the rcu_data structure in which diverted callback invocations are counted. RCU's debugfs tracing still displays normal callback invocations using ci=, but displayed diverted callbacks with nci=. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

RCU callback execution can add significant OS jitter and also can degrade both scheduling latency and, in asymmetric multiprocessors, energy efficiency. This commit therefore adds the ability for selected CPUs ("rcu_nocbs=" boot parameter) to have their callbacks offloaded to kthreads. If the "rcu_nocb_poll" boot parameter is also specified, these kthreads will do polling, removing the need for the offloaded CPUs to do wakeups. At least one CPU must be doing normal callback processing: currently CPU 0 cannot be selected as a no-CBs CPU. In addition, attempts to offline the last normal-CBs CPU will fail. This feature was inspired by Jim Houston's and Joe Korty's JRCU, and this commit includes fixes to problems located by Fengguang Wu's kbuild test robot.

This commit removes the old debugfs interfaces, so that the new directory-per-RCU-flavor versions remain. Because the RCU flavor is given by the directory name, there is no need to print it out, so remove the name from the printout.
