All the RCU tracepoints and functions that reference char pointers do so with just 'char *' even though they do not modify the contents of the string itself. This will cause warnings if a const char * is used in one of these functions. The RCU tracepoints store the pointer to the string to refer back to them when the trace output is displayed. As this can be minutes, hours or even days later, those strings had better be constant. This change also opens the door to allow the RCU tracepoint strings and their addresses to be exported so that userspace tracing tools can translate the contents of the pointers of the RCU tracepoints.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. This removes all the drivers/rcu uses of the __cpuinit macros from all C files.

A number of kthreads have been added to rcutorture, but the shuffler task was not informed of them, and thus did not shuffle them. This commit therefore adds the requisite shuffling, and, while in the area fixes up some whitespace issues. However, the shuffling is intended to keep randomly selected CPUs idle, which means that the RCU priority boosting kthreads need to avoid waking up every jiffy. This commit also makes that fix.

Currently, rcutorture traces every read-side access. This can be problematic because even a two-minute rcutorture run on a two-CPU system can generate 28,853,363 reads. Normally, only a failing read is of interest, so this commit traces adjusts rcutorture's tracing to only trace failing reads.

When you do something like "t = kthread_run(...)", it is possible that the kthread will start running before the assignment to "t" happens. If the child kthread expects to find a pointer to its task_struct in "t", it will then be fatally disappointed.

The child threads in the rcu_torture_barrier_cbs() are improperly synchronized, which can cause the rcu_barrier() tests to hang. The failure mode is as follows: 1. CPU 0 running in rcu_torture_barrier() sets barrier_cbs_count to n_barrier_cbs. 2. CPU 1 running in rcu_torture_barrier_cbs() wakes up, posts its RCU callback, and atomically decrements barrier_cbs_count. Because barrier_cbs_count is not zero, it does not do the wake_up(). 3. CPU 2 running in rcu_torture_barrier_cbs() wakes up, but finds that barrier_cbs_count is not equal to n_barrier_cbs, and so returns to sleep. 4. The value of barrier_cbs_count therefore never reaches zero, which causes the test to hang. This commit therefore uses a phase variable to coordinate the test, preventing this scenario from occurring. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

The current implementation of synchronize_srcu_expedited() can cause severe OS jitter due to its use of synchronize_sched(), which in turn invokes try_stop_cpus(), which causes each CPU to be sent an IPI. This can result in severe performance degradation for real-time workloads and especially for short-interation-length HPC workloads. Furthermore, because only one instance of try_stop_cpus() can be making forward progress at a given time, only one instance of synchronize_srcu_expedited() can make forward progress at a time, even if they are all operating on distinct srcu_struct structures. This commit, inspired by an earlier implementation by Peter Zijlstra (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/31/211) and by further offline discussions, takes a strictly algorithmic bits-in-memory approach. This has the disadvantage of requiring one explicit memory-barrier instruction in each of srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock(), but on the other hand completely dispenses with OS jitter and furthermore allows SRCU to be used freely by CPUs that RCU believes to be idle or offline. The update-side implementation handles the single read-side memory barrier by rechecking the per-CPU counters after summing them and by running through the update-side state machine twice. This implementation has passed moderate rcutorture testing on both x86 and Power. Also updated to use this_cpu_ptr() instead of per_cpu_ptr(), as suggested by Peter Zijlstra.

The rcutorture test now can automatically exercise CPU hotplug and collect success statistics, which can be correlated with other rcutorture activity. This permits rcutorture to completely exercise RCU regardless of what sort of userspace and filesystem layout is in use. Unfortunately, rcutorture is happy to attempt to offline CPUs that cannot be offlined, for example, CPU 0 in both the x86 and ARM architectures. Although this allows rcutorture testing to proceed normally, it confounds attempts at error analysis due to the resulting flood of spurious CPU-hotplug errors. Therefore, this commit uses the new cpu_is_hotpluggable() function to avoid attempting to offline CPUs that are not hotpluggable, which in turn avoids spurious CPU-hotplug errors.
