The variable and struct both having the name "rcu_state" confuses

"rcu_state_p" in order to avoid this confusion.  This also makes

The rcutorture output currently does not distinguish between stalls in
the RCU implementation and stalls in the rcu_torture_writer() kthreads.
This commit therefore adds some diagnostics to help distinguish between
these two conditions, at least for the non-SRCU implementations.  (SRCU
does not provide evidence of update-side forward progress by design.)

The rcu_start_gp_advanced() function currently uses irq_work_queue()
to defer wakeups of the RCU grace-period kthread.  This deferring
is necessary to avoid RCU-scheduler deadlocks involving the rcu_node
structure's lock, meaning that RCU cannot call any of the scheduler's
wake-up functions while holding one of these locks.

Unfortunately, the second and subsequent calls to irq_work_queue() are
ignored, and the first call will be ignored (aside from queuing the work
item) if the scheduler-clock tick is turned off.  This is OK for many
uses, especially those where irq_work_queue() is called from an interrupt
or softirq handler, because in those cases the scheduler-clock-tick state
will be re-evaluated, which will turn the scheduler-clock tick back on.
On the next tick, any deferred work will then be processed.

However, this strategy does not always work for RCU, which can be invoked
at process level from idle CPUs.  In this case, the tick might never
be turned back on, indefinitely defering a grace-period start request.
Note that the RCU CPU stall detector cannot see this condition, because
there is no RCU grace period in progress.  Therefore, we can (and do!)
see long tens-of-seconds stalls in grace-period handling.  In theory,
we could see a full grace-period hang, but rcutorture testing to date
has seen only the tens-of-seconds stalls.  Event tracing demonstrates
that irq_work_queue() is being called repeatedly to no effect during
these stalls: The "newreq" event appears repeatedly from a task that is
not one of the grace-period kthreads.

In theory, irq_work_queue() might be fixed to avoid this sort of issue,
but RCU's requirements are unusual and it is quite straightforward to pass
wake-up responsibility up through RCU's call chain, so that the wakeup
happens when the offending locks are released.

This commit therefore makes this change.  The rcu_start_gp_advanced(),
rcu_start_future_gp(), rcu_accelerate_cbs(), rcu_advance_cbs(),
__note_gp_changes(), and rcu_start_gp() functions now return a boolean
which indicates when a wake-up is needed.  A new rcu_gp_kthread_wake()
does the wakeup when it is necessary and safe to do so: No self-wakes,
no wake-ups if the ->gp_flags field indicates there is no need (as in
someone else did the wake-up before we got around to it), and no wake-ups
before the grace-period kthread has been created.

The following pattern is currently not well supported by RCU:

1.	Make data element inaccessible to RCU readers.

2.	Do work that probably lasts for more than one grace period.

3.	Do something to make sure RCU readers in flight before #1 above
	have completed.

Here are some things that could currently be done:

a.	Do a synchronize_rcu() unconditionally at either #1 or #3 above.
	This works, but imposes needless work and latency.

b.	Post an RCU callback at #1 above that does a wakeup, then
	wait for the wakeup at #3.  This works well, but likely results
	in an extra unneeded grace period.  Open-coding this is also
	a bit more semi-tricky code than would be good.

This commit therefore adds get_state_synchronize_rcu() and
cond_synchronize_rcu() APIs.  Call get_state_synchronize_rcu() at #1
above and pass its return value to cond_synchronize_rcu() at #3 above.
This results in a call to synchronize_rcu() if no grace period has
elapsed between #1 and #3, but requires only a load, comparison, and
memory barrier if a full grace period did elapse.

The kbuild test bot uncovered an implicit dependence on the

kernel/rcu/rcu.h:112:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'trace_rcu_invoke_callback' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
cc1: some warnings being treated as errors

Looking at other rcu.h users, we can find that they all
were sourcing the trace header in advance of rcu.h itself,
as seen in the context of this diff.  There were also some
inconsistencies as to whether it was or wasn't sourced based
on the parent tracing Kconfig.

Rather than "fix" it at each use site, and have inconsistent
use based on whether "#ifdef CONFIG_RCU_TRACE" was used or not,
lets just source the trace header just once, in the actual consumer
of it, which is rcu.h itself.  We include it unconditionally, as
build testing shows us that is a hard requirement for some files.

Whenever a CPU receives a scheduling-clock interrupt, RCU checks to see
if the RCU core needs anything from this CPU.  If so, RCU raises
RCU_SOFTIRQ to carry out any needed processing.

This approach has worked well historically, but it is undesirable on
NO_HZ_FULL CPUs.  Such CPUs are expected to spend almost all of their time
in userspace, so that scheduling-clock interrupts can be disabled while
there is only one runnable task on the CPU in question.  Unfortunately,
raising any softirq has the potential to wake up ksoftirqd, which would
provide the second runnable task on that CPU, preventing disabling of
scheduling-clock interrupts.

What is needed instead is for RCU to leave NO_HZ_FULL CPUs alone,
relying on the grace-period kthreads' quiescent-state forcing to
do any needed RCU work on behalf of those CPUs.

This commit therefore refrains from raising RCU_SOFTIRQ on any
NO_HZ_FULL CPUs during any grace periods that have been in effect
for less than one second.  The one-second limit handles the case
where an inappropriate workload is running on a NO_HZ_FULL CPU
that features lots of scheduling-clock interrupts, but no idle
or userspace time.

Each element of the rcu_state structure's ->levelspread[] array
is intended to contain the per-level fanout, where the zero-th
element corresponds to the root of the rcu_node tree, and the last
element corresponds to the leaves.  In the CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT
case, this means that the last element should be filled in
from CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF (or from the rcu_fanout_leaf boot
parameter, if provided) and that the remaining elements should
be filled in from CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT.  Unfortunately, the current
code in rcu_init_levelspread() takes the opposite approach, placing
CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF in the zero-th element and CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT in
the remaining elements.

For typical power-of-two values, this generates odd but functional
rcu_node trees.  However, other values, for example CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=3
and CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF=2, generate trees that can leave some CPUs
out of the grace-period computation, resulting in too-short grace periods
and therefore a broken RCU implementation.

This commit therefore fixes rcu_init_levelspread() to set the last
->levelspread[] array element from CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF and the
remaining elements from CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT, thus generating the
intended rcu_node trees.

The underlying problem is that perf is invoking call_rcu() with the
scheduler locks held, but in NOCB mode, call_rcu() will with high
probability invoke the scheduler -- which just might want to use its
locks.  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".

It is all too easy to forget that wait_event() does not necessarily
imply a full memory barrier.  The case where it does not is where the
condition transitions to true just as wait_event() starts execution.
This is actually a feature: The standard use of wait_event() involves
locking, in which case the locks provide the needed ordering (you hold a
lock across the wake_up() and acquire that same lock after wait_event()
returns).

Given that I did forget that wait_event() does not necessarily imply a
full memory barrier in one case, this commit fixes that case.  This commit
also adds comments calling out the placement of existing memory barriers
relied on by wait_event() calls.

When an RCU CPU stall warning occurs, the CPU invokes resched_cpu() on
itself.  This can help move the grace period forward in some situations,
but it would be even better to do this -before- the RCU CPU stall warning.
This commit therefore causes resched_cpu() to be called every five jiffies
once the system is halfway to an RCU CPU stall warning.

Commit e6b80a3b (rcu: Detect illegal rcu dereference in extended
quiescent state) exported the pre-existing rcu_is_cpu_idle() function
using EXPORT_SYMBOL().  However, this is inconsistent with the remaining
exports from RCU, which are all EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL().  The current state
of affairs means that a non-GPL module could use rcu_is_cpu_idle(),
but in a CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU=y kernel would be unable to invoke
rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock().

This commit therefore makes rcu_is_cpu_idle()'s export be consistent
with the rest of RCU, namely EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL().

There is currently no way for kernel code to determine whether it
is safe to enter an RCU read-side critical section, in other words,
whether or not RCU is paying attention to the currently running CPU.
Given the large and increasing quantity of code shared by the idle loop
and non-idle code, the this shortcoming is becoming increasingly painful.

This commit therefore adds __rcu_is_watching(), which returns true if
it is safe to enter an RCU read-side critical section on the currently
running CPU.  This function is quite fast, using only a __this_cpu_read().
However, the caller must disable preemption.

This commit adds tracing to the normal grace-period request points.
These are rcu_gp_cleanup(), which checks for the need for another
grace period at the end of the previous grace period, and
rcu_start_gp_advanced(), which restarts RCU's state machine after
an idle period.  These trace events are intended to help track down
bugs where RCU remains idle despite there being work for it to do.

This commit applies ACCESS_ONCE() to an outside-of-lock access to
->gp_flags.  Although it is hard to imagine any sane compiler messing
this particular case up, the documentation benefits are substantial.
Plus the definition of "sane compiler" grows ever looser.

Spurious wakeups in the force-quiescent-state loop in rcu_gp_kthread()
cause the timeout to be recalculated, which would prevent rcu_gp_fqs()
from ever being called.  This would in turn would prevent the grace period
from ever ending for as long as there was at least one CPU in an extended
quiescent state that had not yet passed through a quiescent state.

This commit therefore avoids recalculating the timeout unless the
previous pass's call to wait_event_interruptible_timeout() actually
did time out, thus preventing the above scenario.
