The comment says that blocking is illegal in rcu_read_lock()-style RCU read-side critical sections, which is no longer entirely true given preemptible RCU. This commit provides a fix. Suggested-by: NDavid Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Implement a small-memory-footprint uniprocessor-only implementation of preemptible RCU. This implementation uses but a single blocked-tasks list rather than the combinatorial number used per leaf rcu_node by TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, which reduces memory consumption and greatly simplifies processing. This version also takes advantage of uniprocessor execution to accelerate grace periods in the case where there are no readers. The general design is otherwise broadly similar to that of TREE_PREEMPT_RCU. This implementation is a step towards having RCU implementation driven off of the SMP and PREEMPT kernel configuration variables, which can happen once this implementation has accumulated sufficient experience. Removed ACCESS_ONCE() from __rcu_read_unlock() and added barrier() as suggested by Steve Rostedt in order to avoid the compiler-reordering issue noted by Mathieu Desnoyers (http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/8/16/183). As can be seen below, CONFIG_TINY_PREEMPT_RCU represents almost 5Kbyte savings compared to CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU. Of course, for non-real-time workloads, CONFIG_TINY_RCU is even better.

Commit cf244dc0 added a fourth level to the TREE_RCU hierarchy, but the RCU_FANOUT help message still said "cube root". This commit fixes this to "fourth root" and also emphasizes that production systems are well-served by the default. (Stress-testing RCU itself uses small RCU_FANOUT values in order to test large-system code paths on small(er) systems.) Located-by: NJohn Kacur <jkacur@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

Currently, if RCU CPU stall warnings are enabled, they are enabled immediately upon boot. They can be manually disabled via /sys (and also re-enabled via /sys), and are automatically disabled upon panic. However, some users need RCU CPU stalls to be disabled at boot time, but to be enabled without rebuilding/rebooting. For example, someone running a real-time application in production might not want the additional latency of RCU CPU stall detection in normal operation, but might need to enable it at any point for fault isolation purposes. This commit therefore provides a new CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR_RUNNABLE kernel configuration parameter that maintains the current behavior (enable at boot) by default, but allows a kernel to be configured with RCU CPU stall detection built into the kernel, but disabled at boot time.

Because both TINY_RCU and TREE_PREEMPT_RCU have been in mainline for several releases, it is time to restrict the use of TREE_RCU to SMP non-preemptible systems. This reduces testing/validation effort. This commit is a first step towards driving the selection of RCU implementation directly off of the SMP and PREEMPT configuration parameters.

Although the RCU CPU stall warning messages are a very good way to alert people to a problem, once alerted, it is sometimes helpful to shut them off in order to avoid obscuring other messages that might be being used to track down the problem. Although you can rebuild the kernel with CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR=n, this is sometimes inconvenient. This commit therefore adds a boot parameter named "rcu_cpu_stall_suppress" that shuts these messages off without requiring a rebuild (though a reboot might be needed for those not brave enough to patch their kernel while it is running). This message-suppression was already in place for the panic case, so this commit need only rename the variable and export it via module_param(). Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

This commit provides definitions for the __rcu annotation defined earlier. This annotation permits sparse to check for correct use of RCU-protected pointers. If a pointer that is annotated with __rcu is accessed directly (as opposed to via rcu_dereference(), rcu_assign_pointer(), or one of their variants), sparse can be made to complain. To enable such complaints, use the new default-disabled CONFIG_SPARSE_RCU_POINTER kernel configuration option. Please note that these sparse complaints are intended to be a debugging aid, -not- a code-style-enforcement mechanism. There are special rcu_dereference_protected() and rcu_access_pointer() accessors for use when RCU read-side protection is not required, for example, when no other CPU has access to the data structure in question or while the current CPU hold the update-side lock.
