The include/linux/rcupdate.h file contains a number of definitions that are used only to communicate between rcutorture, rcuperf, and the RCU code itself. There is no point in having these definitions exposed globally throughout the kernel, so this commit moves them to kernel/rcu/rcu.h. This change has the added benefit of shrinking rcupdate.h.

The rcu_gp_is_normal(), rcu_gp_is_expedited(), rcu_expedite_gp(), and rcu_unexpedite_gp() functions are intended only for use within the RCU implementation itself -- the sysfs access is what should be used outside of RCU. This commit therefore moves the declarations for these functions to kernel/rcu/rcu.h, and also includes this file into kernel/rcu/rcutorture.c and kernel/rcu/rcuperf.c. This also has the beneficial effect of shrinking rcupdate.c a bit. Reported-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The rcu_expedited and rcu_normal variables are used only by sysctl and kernel/rcu/update.c, so it does not make sense to their extern declarations in rcupdate.h.

The include/linux/rcupdate.h file is included by more than 200 files, so shrinking it should provide some build-time benefits. This commit therefore moves several docbook comments from rcupdate.h to kernel/rcu/update.c, kernel/rcu/tree.c, and kernel/rcu/tree_plugin.h, thus reducing the number of times that the compiler has to scan these comments. This likely provides only a small benefit, but every little bit helps. This commit also fixes a malformed bulleted list noted by the 0day Test Robot.

The rcu_node_tree.h and rcu_segcblist.h header files in the include/linux directory might appear at first sight to be internal to the RCU implementation. However, the definitions in these files are needed to determine the size of TREE SRCU's srcu_struct structure, so they must be externally visible, which is why they live in include/linux. This commit adds comments to this effect to those files. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The synchronize_rcu_mult() function now detects duplicate requests for the same grace-period flavor and waits only once for each flavor. This commit therefore removes the ugly #ifdef from sched_cpu_deactivate() because synchronize_rcu_mult(call_rcu, call_rcu_sched) now does what the #ifdef used to be needed for.

Currently, doing synchronize_rcu_mult(call_rcu, call_rcu) might (or might not) wait for two RCU grace periods. One approach is of course "don't do that!", but in CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernels, synchronize_rcu_mult(call_rcu, call_rcu_sched) does exactly that. This results in an ugly #ifdef in sched_cpu_deactivate(). This commit therefore makes __wait_rcu_gp() check for duplicates, which in turn allows duplicates to be passed to synchronize_rcu_mult() without risk of waiting twice on the same type of grace period.

In Tiny SRCU, __srcu_read_lock() is a trivial function, outweighed by its EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(), and on many architectures, its call sequence. This commit therefore moves it to srcutiny.h so that it can be inlined. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Commit d160a727 ("srcu: Make SRCU be built by default") in response to build errors, which were caused by code that included srcu.h despite !SRCU. However, srcutiny.o is almost 2K of code, which is not insignificant for those attempting to run the Linux kernel on IoT devices. This commit therefore makes SRCU be once again optional, and adjusts srcu.h to allow error-free inclusion in !SRCU kernel builds. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

Currently, when running from a git archive, the testid.txt file contains only the branch name, the output of "git status", and the SHA-1 of the current HEAD. This is useful, but does not uniquely identify the source code that was built. This commit therefore adds the output of "git diff HEAD", which means that if two testid.txt files compare equal, they correspond to exactly the same source code. Give or take the possibility of SHA-1 collisions, that is. ;-) Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This commit adds a writer_holdoff boot parameter to rcuperf, which is intended to be used to test Tree SRCU's auto-expediting. This boot parameter is in microseconds, and defaults to zero (that is, disabled). Set it to a bit larger than srcutree.exp_holdoff, keeping the nanosecond/microsecond conversion, to force Tree SRCU to auto-expedite more aggressively. This commit also adds documentation for this parameter, and fixes some alphabetization while in the neighborhood. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

There was a time when the expedited grace-period primitives (synchronize_rcu_expedited(), synchronize_rcu_bh_expedited(), and synchronize_sched_expedited()) used rather antisocial kernel facilities like try_stop_cpus(). However, they have since been housebroken to use only single-CPU IPIs, and typically cause less disturbance than a scheduling-clock interrupt. Furthermore, this disturbance can be eliminated entirely using NO_HZ_FULL on the one hand or the rcupdate.rcu_normal boot parameter on the other. This commit therefore removes checkpatch's complaints about use of the expedited RCU primitives. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This commit upgrades rcuperf so that it can do performance testing on asynchronous grace-period primitives such as call_srcu(). There is a new rcuperf.gp_async module parameter that specifies this new behavior, with the pre-existing rcuperf.gp_exp testing expedited grace periods such as synchronize_rcu_expedited, and with the default being to test synchronous non-expedited grace periods such as synchronize_rcu(). There is also a new rcuperf.gp_async_max module parameter that specifies the maximum number of outstanding callbacks per writer kthread, defaulting to 1,000. When this limit is exceeded, the writer thread invokes the appropriate flavor of rcu_barrier() to wait for callbacks to drain. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

The synchronize_kernel() primitive was removed in favor of synchronize_sched() more than a decade ago, and it seems likely that rather few kernel hackers are familiar with it.

Current rcuperf startup checks to see if the user asked to measure only expedited grace periods, yet constrained all grace periods to be normal, or if the user asked to measure only normal grace periods, yet constrained all grace periods to be expedited. Useless tests of this sort are aborted. Unfortunately, making RCU work through the mid-boot dead zone [1] puts RCU into expedited-only mode during that zone. Which happens to also be the exact time that rcuperf carries out the aforementioned check. So if the user asks rcuperf to measure only normal grace periods (the default), rcuperf will now always complain and terminate the test. This commit therefore moves the checks to rcu_perf_cleanup(). This has the disadvantage of failing to abort useless tests, but avoids the need to create yet another kthread and the need to do fiddly checks involving the holdoff time. (Yes, another approach is to do the checks in a late-stage init function, but that would require some way to communicate badness to rcuperf's kthreads, and seems not worth the bother.)
