Commit b58cc46c (rcu: Don't offload callbacks unless specifically requested) failed to adjust the callback lists of the CPUs that are known to be no-CBs CPUs only because they are also nohz_full= CPUs. This failure can result in callbacks that are posted during early boot getting stranded on nxtlist for CPUs whose no-CBs property becomes apparent late, and there can also be spurious warnings about offline CPUs posting callbacks. This commit fixes these problems by adding an early-boot rcu_init_nohz() that properly initializes the no-CBs CPUs. Note that kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL=y or with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=n do not exhibit this bug. Neither do kernels booted without the nohz_full= boot parameter. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

The rcu_bh_qs(), rcu_preempt_qs(), and rcu_sched_qs() functions use old-style per-CPU variable access and write to ->passed_quiesce even if it is already set. This commit therefore updates to use the new-style per-CPU variable access functions and avoids the spurious writes. This commit also eliminates the "cpu" argument to these functions because they are always invoked on the indicated CPU. Reported-by: NPeter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

In theory, synchronize_sched() requires a read-side critical section to order against. In practice, preemption can be thought of as being disabled across every machine instruction, at least for those machine instructions that are not in the idle loop and not on offline CPUs. So this commit removes the redundant preempt_disable() from rcu_note_voluntary_context_switch(). Please note that the single instruction in question is the store of zero to ->rcu_tasks_holdout. The "if" is simply a performance optimization that avoids unnecessary stores. To see this, keep in mind that both the "if" condition and the store are in a quiescent state. Therefore, even if the task is preempted for a full grace period (presumably due to its having done a context switch beforehand), the store will be recording a legitimate quiescent state.

Once a task has passed exit_notify() in the do_exit() code path, it is no longer on the task lists, and is therefore no longer visible to rcu_tasks_kthread(). This means that an almost-exited task might be preempted while within a trampoline, and this task won't be waited on by rcu_tasks_kthread(). This commit fixes this bug by adding an srcu_struct. An exiting task does srcu_read_lock() just before calling exit_notify(), and does the corresponding srcu_read_unlock() after doing the final preempt_disable(). This means that rcu_tasks_kthread() can do synchronize_srcu() to wait for all mostly-exited tasks to reach their final preempt_disable() region, and then use synchronize_sched() to wait for those tasks to finish exiting.

It turns out to be easier to add the synchronous grace-period waiting functions to RCU-tasks than to work around their absense in rcutorture, so this commit adds them.

RCU-tasks requires the occasional voluntary context switch from CPU-bound in-kernel tasks. In some cases, this requires instrumenting cond_resched(). However, there is some reluctance to countenance unconditionally instrumenting cond_resched() (see http://lwn.net/Articles/603252/), so this commit creates a separate cond_resched_rcu_qs() that may be used in place of cond_resched() in locations prone to long-duration in-kernel looping. This commit currently instruments only RCU-tasks. Future possibilities include also instrumenting RCU, RCU-bh, and RCU-sched in order to reduce IPI usage. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

This commit adds a new RCU-tasks flavor of RCU, which provides call_rcu_tasks(). This RCU flavor's quiescent states are voluntary context switch (not preemption!) and userspace execution (not the idle loop -- use some sort of schedule_on_each_cpu() if you need to handle the idle tasks. Note that unlike other RCU flavors, these quiescent states occur in tasks, not necessarily CPUs. Includes fixes from Steven Rostedt. This RCU flavor is assumed to have very infrequent latency-tolerant updaters. This assumption permits significant simplifications, including a single global callback list protected by a single global lock, along with a single task-private linked list containing all tasks that have not yet passed through a quiescent state. If experience shows this assumption to be incorrect, the required additional complexity will be added. Suggested-by: NSteven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

Commit ac1bea85 (Make cond_resched() report RCU quiescent states) fixed a problem where a CPU looping in the kernel with but one runnable task would give RCU CPU stall warnings, even if the in-kernel loop contained cond_resched() calls. Unfortunately, in so doing, it introduced performance regressions in Anton Blanchard's will-it-scale "open1" test. The problem appears to be not so much the increased cond_resched() path length as an increase in the rate at which grace periods complete, which increased per-update grace-period overhead. This commit takes a different approach to fixing this bug, mainly by moving the RCU-visible quiescent state from cond_resched() to rcu_note_context_switch(), and by further reducing the check to a simple non-zero test of a single per-CPU variable. However, this approach requires that the force-quiescent-state processing send resched IPIs to the offending CPUs. These will be sent only once the grace period has reached an age specified by the boot/sysfs parameter rcutree.jiffies_till_sched_qs, or once the grace period reaches an age halfway to the point at which RCU CPU stall warnings will be emitted, whichever comes first.

Currently, call_rcu() relies on implicit allocation and initialization for the debug-objects handling of RCU callbacks. If you hammer the kernel hard enough with Sasha's modified version of trinity, you can end up with the sl*b allocators recursing into themselves via this implicit call_rcu() allocation. This commit therefore exports the debug_init_rcu_head() and debug_rcu_head_free() functions, which permits the allocators to allocated and pre-initialize the debug-objects information, so that there no longer any need for call_rcu() to do that initialization, which in turn prevents the recursion into the memory allocators.

Given a CPU running a loop containing cond_resched(), with no other tasks runnable on that CPU, RCU will eventually report RCU CPU stall warnings due to lack of quiescent states. Fortunately, every call to cond_resched() is a perfectly good quiescent state. Unfortunately, invoking rcu_note_context_switch() is a bit heavyweight for cond_resched(), especially given the need to disable preemption, and, for RCU-preempt, interrupts as well. This commit therefore maintains a per-CPU counter that causes cond_resched(), cond_resched_lock(), and cond_resched_softirq() to call rcu_note_context_switch(), but only about once per 256 invocations. This ratio was chosen in keeping with the relative time constants of RCU grace periods. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

The new smp_store_release() function provides better guarantees than did rcu_assign_pointer(), and potentially less overhead on some architectures. The guarantee that smp_store_release() provides that rcu_assign_pointer() does that is obscure, but its lack could cause considerable confusion. This guarantee is illustrated by the following code fragment: struct foo { int a; int b; int c; struct foo *next; }; struct foo foo1; struct foo foo2; struct foo __rcu *foop; ... foo2.a = 1; foo2.b = 2; BUG_ON(foo2.c); rcu_assign_pointer(foop, &foo); ... fp = rcu_dereference(foop); fp.c = 3; The current rcu_assign_pointer() semantics permit the BUG_ON() to trigger because rcu_assign_pointer()'s smp_wmb() is not guaranteed to order prior reads against later writes.

The "int check" argument of lock_acquire() and held_lock->check are misleading. This is actually a boolean: 2 means "true", everything else is "false". And there is no need to pass 1 or 0 to lock_acquire() depending on CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING, __lock_acquire() checks prove_locking at the start and clears "check" if !CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING. Note: probably we can simply kill this member/arg. The only explicit user of check => 0 is rcu_lock_acquire(), perhaps we can change it to use lock_acquire(trylock =>, read => 2). __lockdep_no_validate means check => 0 implicitly, but we can change validate_chain() to check hlock->instance->key instead.

rcu_dereference_check_fdtable() looks very wrong, 1. rcu_my_thread_group_empty() was added by 844b9a87 "vfs: fix RCU-lockdep false positive due to /proc" but it doesn't really fix the problem. A CLONE_THREAD (without CLONE_FILES) task can hit the same race with get_files_struct(). And otoh rcu_my_thread_group_empty() can suppress the correct warning if the caller is the CLONE_FILES (without CLONE_THREAD) task. 2. files->count == 1 check is not really right too. Even if this files_struct is not shared it is not safe to access it lockless unless the caller is the owner. Otoh, this check is sub-optimal. files->count == 0 always means it is safe to use it lockless even if files != current->files, but put_files_struct() has to take rcu_read_lock(). See the next patch. This patch removes the buggy checks and turns fcheck_files() into __fcheck_files() which uses rcu_dereference_raw(), the "unshared" callers, fget_light() and fget_raw_light(), can use it to avoid the warning from RCU-lockdep. fcheck_files() is trivially reimplemented as rcu_lockdep_assert() plus __fcheck_files().

This commit adds the state machine that takes the per-CPU idle data as input and produces a full-system-idle indication as output. This state machine is driven out of RCU's quiescent-state-forcing mechanism, which invokes rcu_sysidle_check_cpu() to collect per-CPU idle state and then rcu_sysidle_report() to drive the state machine. The full-system-idle state is sampled using rcu_sys_is_idle(), which also drives the state machine if RCU is idle (and does so by forcing RCU to become non-idle). This function returns true if all but the timekeeping CPU (tick_do_timer_cpu) are idle and have been idle long enough to avoid memory contention on the full_sysidle_state state variable. The rcu_sysidle_force_exit() may be called externally to reset the state machine back into non-idle state. For large systems the state machine is driven out of RCU's force-quiescent-state logic, which provides good scalability at the price of millisecond-scale latencies on the transition to full-system-idle state. This is not so good for battery-powered systems, which are usually small enough that they don't need to care about scalability, but which do care deeply about energy efficiency. Small systems therefore drive the state machine directly out of the idle-entry code. The number of CPUs in a "small" system is defined by a new NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE_SMALL Kconfig parameter, which defaults to 8. Note that this is a build-time definition. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

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.

TINY_PREEMPT_RCU could use a kthread to handle RCU callback invocation, which required an API to abstract kthread vs. softirq invocation. Now that TINY_PREEMPT_RCU is no longer with us, this commit retires this API in favor of direct use of the relevant softirq primitives. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.
