Merge branch 'core-rcu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The biggest RCU changes in this cycle were:

   - Convert RCU's BUG_ON() and similar calls to WARN_ON() and similar.

   - Replace calls of RCU-bh and RCU-sched update-side functions to
     their vanilla RCU counterparts. This series is a step towards
     complete removal of the RCU-bh and RCU-sched update-side functions.

     ( Note that some of these conversions are going upstream via their
       respective maintainers. )

   - Documentation updates, including a number of flavor-consolidation
     updates from Joel Fernandes.

   - Miscellaneous fixes.

   - Automate generation of the initrd filesystem used for rcutorture
     testing.

   - Convert spin_is_locked() assertions to instead use lockdep.

     ( Note that some of these conversions are going upstream via their
       respective maintainers. )

   - SRCU updates, especially including a fix from Dennis Krein for a
     bag-on-head-class bug.

   - RCU torture-test updates"

turn allows those CPUs to attain deeper sleep states and to consume

CPUs whose scheduling-clock interrupts have been turned off are
said to be in <i>dyntick-idle mode</i>.
RCU must handle dyntick-idle CPUs specially

Disabling Preemption Does Not Block Grace Periods</a></h3>
<p>
There was a time when disabling preemption on any given CPU would block
subsequent grace periods.
However, this was an accident of implementation and is not a requirement.
And in the current Linux-kernel implementation, disabling preemption
on a given CPU in fact does not block grace periods, as Oleg Nesterov
<a href="https://lkml.kernel.org/g/20150614193825.GA19582@redhat.com">demonstrated</a>.
<p>
If you need a preempt-disable region to block grace periods, you need to add
<tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt> and <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt>, for example
as follows:
<blockquote>
<pre>
1 preempt_disable();
2 rcu_read_lock();
3 do_something();
4 rcu_read_unlock();
5 preempt_enable();
6
7 /* Spinlocks implicitly disable preemption. */
8 spin_lock(&amp;mylock);
9 rcu_read_lock();
10 do_something();
11 rcu_read_unlock();
12 spin_unlock(&amp;mylock);
</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>
In theory, you could enter the RCU read-side critical section first,
but it is more efficient to keep the entire RCU read-side critical
section contained in the preempt-disable region as shown above.
Of course, RCU read-side critical sections that extend outside of
preempt-disable regions will work correctly, but such critical sections
can be preempted, which forces <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt> to do
more work.
And no, this is <i>not</i> an invitation to enclose all of your RCU
read-side critical sections within preempt-disable regions, because
doing so would degrade real-time response.

<h3><a name="Forward Progress">Forward Progress</a></h3>
<p>
In theory, delaying grace-period completion and callback invocation
is harmless.
In practice, not only are memory sizes finite but also callbacks sometimes
do wakeups, and sufficiently deferred wakeups can be difficult
to distinguish from system hangs.
Therefore, RCU must provide a number of mechanisms to promote forward
progress.
<p>
These mechanisms are not foolproof, nor can they be.
For one simple example, an infinite loop in an RCU read-side critical
section must by definition prevent later grace periods from ever completing.
For a more involved example, consider a 64-CPU system built with
<tt>CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y</tt> and booted with <tt>rcu_nocbs=1-63</tt>,
where CPUs&nbsp;1 through&nbsp;63 spin in tight loops that invoke
<tt>call_rcu()</tt>.
Even if these tight loops also contain calls to <tt>cond_resched()</tt>
(thus allowing grace periods to complete), CPU&nbsp;0 simply will
not be able to invoke callbacks as fast as the other 63 CPUs can
register them, at least not until the system runs out of memory.
In both of these examples, the Spiderman principle applies: With great
power comes great responsibility.
However, short of this level of abuse, RCU is required to
ensure timely completion of grace periods and timely invocation of
callbacks.
<p>
RCU takes the following steps to encourage timely completion of
grace periods:
<ol>
<li> If a grace period fails to complete within 100&nbsp;milliseconds,
RCU causes future invocations of <tt>cond_resched()</tt> on
the holdout CPUs to provide an RCU quiescent state.
RCU also causes those CPUs' <tt>need_resched()</tt> invocations
to return <tt>true</tt>, but only after the corresponding CPU's
next scheduling-clock.
<li> CPUs mentioned in the <tt>nohz_full</tt> kernel boot parameter
can run indefinitely in the kernel without scheduling-clock
interrupts, which defeats the above <tt>need_resched()</tt>
strategem.
RCU will therefore invoke <tt>resched_cpu()</tt> on any
<tt>nohz_full</tt> CPUs still holding out after
109&nbsp;milliseconds.
<li> In kernels built with <tt>CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y</tt>, if a given
task that has been preempted within an RCU read-side critical
section is holding out for more than 500&nbsp;milliseconds,
RCU will resort to priority boosting.
<li> If a CPU is still holding out 10&nbsp;seconds into the grace
period, RCU will invoke <tt>resched_cpu()</tt> on it regardless
of its <tt>nohz_full</tt> state.
</ol>
<p>
The above values are defaults for systems running with <tt>HZ=1000</tt>.
They will vary as the value of <tt>HZ</tt> varies, and can also be
changed using the relevant Kconfig options and kernel boot parameters.
RCU currently does not do much sanity checking of these
parameters, so please use caution when changing them.
Note that these forward-progress measures are provided only for RCU,
not for
<a href="#Sleepable RCU">SRCU</a> or
<a href="#Tasks RCU">Tasks RCU</a>.
<p>
RCU takes the following steps in <tt>call_rcu()</tt> to encourage timely
invocation of callbacks when any given non-<tt>rcu_nocbs</tt> CPU has
10,000 callbacks, or has 10,000 more callbacks than it had the last time
encouragement was provided:
<ol>
<li> Starts a grace period, if one is not already in progress.
<li> Forces immediate checking for quiescent states, rather than
waiting for three milliseconds to have elapsed since the
beginning of the grace period.
<li> Immediately tags the CPU's callbacks with their grace period
completion numbers, rather than waiting for the <tt>RCU_SOFTIRQ</tt>
handler to get around to it.
<li> Lifts callback-execution batch limits, which speeds up callback
invocation at the expense of degrading realtime response.

Unfortunately, given the possibility of vCPU preemption, long-running

11. Note that synchronize_rcu() -only- guarantees to wait until
all currently executing rcu_read_lock()-protected RCU read-side

[1] The variant rcu_dereference_protected() can be used outside
of an RCU read-side critical section as long as the usage is
protected by locks acquired by the update-side code. This variant
avoids the lockdep warning that would happen when using (for
example) rcu_dereference() without rcu_read_lock() protection.
Using rcu_dereference_protected() also has the advantage
of permitting compiler optimizations that rcu_dereference()
must prohibit. The rcu_dereference_protected() variant takes
a lockdep expression to indicate which locks must be acquired
by the caller. If the indicated protection is not provided,
a lockdep splat is emitted. See RCU/Design/Requirements.html

There are no fewer than three RCU mechanisms in the Linux kernel; the
diagram above shows the first one, which is by far the most commonly used.
The rcu_dereference() and rcu_assign_pointer() primitives are used for
all three mechanisms, but different defer and protect primitives are

above shows the most common one. On the updater side, the rcu_assign_pointer(),
sychronize_rcu() and call_rcu() primitives used are the same for all three
flavors. However for protection (on the reader side), the primitives used vary
depending on the flavor:
