In some cases, it is necessary to enter or exit userspace-RCU-idle mode from an interrupt handler, for example, if some other CPU sends this CPU a resched IPI. In this case, the current CPU would enter the IPI handler in userspace-RCU-idle mode, but would need to exit the IPI handler after having exited that mode. To allow this to work, this commit adds two new APIs to TREE_RCU: - rcu_user_enter_after_irq(). This must be called from an interrupt between rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit(). After the irq calls rcu_irq_exit(), the irq handler will return into an RCU extended quiescent state. In theory, this interrupt is never a nested interrupt, but in practice it might interrupt softirq, which looks to RCU like a nested interrupt. - rcu_user_exit_after_irq(). This must be called from a non-nesting interrupt, interrupting an RCU extended quiescent state, also between rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit(). After the irq calls rcu_irq_exit(), the irq handler will return in an RCU non-quiescent state.

RCU currently insists that only idle tasks can enter RCU idle mode, which prohibits an adaptive tickless kernel (AKA nohz cpusets), which in turn would mean that usermode execution would always take scheduling-clock interrupts, even when there is only one task runnable on the CPU in question. This commit therefore adds rcu_user_enter() and rcu_user_exit(), which allow non-idle tasks to enter RCU idle mode. These are quite similar to rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit(), respectively, except that they omit the idle-task checks.

There is a need to use RCU from interrupt context, but either before rcu_irq_enter() is called or after rcu_irq_exit() is called. If the interrupt occurs from idle, then lockdep-RCU will complain about such uses, as they appear to be illegal uses of RCU from the idle loop. In other environments, RCU_NONIDLE() could be used to properly protect the use of RCU, but RCU_NONIDLE() currently cannot be invoked except from process context.

When running preemptible RCU, if a task exits in an RCU read-side critical section having blocked within that same RCU read-side critical section, the task must be removed from the list of tasks blocking a grace period (perhaps the current grace period, perhaps the next grace period, depending on timing). The exit() path invokes exit_rcu() to do this cleanup. However, the current implementation of exit_rcu() needlessly does the cleanup even if the task did not block within the current RCU read-side critical section, which wastes time and needlessly increases the size of the state space. Fix this by only doing the cleanup if the current task is actually on the list of tasks blocking some grace period. While we are at it, consolidate the two identical exit_rcu() functions into a single function. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

Although it is legal to use RCU during early boot, it is anything but legal to use RCU at runtime from an offlined CPU. After all, RCU explicitly ignores offlined CPUs. This commit therefore adds checks for runtime use of RCU from offlined CPUs. These checks are not perfect, in particular, they can be subverted through use of things like rcu_dereference_raw(). Note that it is not possible to put checks in rcu_read_lock() and friends due to the fact that these primitives are used in code that might be used under either RCU or lock-based protection, which means that checking rcu_read_lock() gets you fat piles of false positives.

There is no convenient expression for rcu_deference_protected() when it is used in tearing down multilinked structures following a grace period. For example, suppose that an element containing an RCU-protected pointer to a second element is removed from an enclosing RCU-protected data structure, then the write-side lock is released, and finally synchronize_rcu() is invoked to wait for a grace period. Then it is necessary to traverse the pointer in order to free up the second element. But we are not in an RCU read-side critical section and we are holding no locks, so the usual rcu_dereference_check() and rcu_dereference_protected() primitives are not appropriate. Neither is rcu_dereference_raw(), as it is intended for use in data structures where the user defines the locking design (for example, list_head). So this responsibility is added to rcu_access_pointer()'s list, and this commit updates rcu_assign_pointer()'s header comment accordingly.

When CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ is enabled, RCU will allow a given CPU to enter dyntick-idle mode even if it still has RCU callbacks queued. RCU avoids system hangs in this case by scheduling a timer for several jiffies in the future. However, if all of the callbacks on that CPU are from kfree_rcu(), there is no reason to wake the CPU up, as it is not a problem to defer freeing of memory. This commit therefore tracks the number of callbacks on a given CPU that are from kfree_rcu(), and avoids scheduling the timer if all of a given CPU's callbacks are from kfree_rcu().

Earlier versions of RCU used the scheduling-clock tick to detect idleness by checking for the idle task, but handled idleness differently for CONFIG_NO_HZ=y. But there are now a number of uses of RCU read-side critical sections in the idle task, for example, for tracing. A more fine-grained detection of idleness is therefore required. This commit presses the old dyntick-idle code into full-time service, so that rcu_idle_enter(), previously known as rcu_enter_nohz(), is always invoked at the beginning of an idle loop iteration. Similarly, rcu_idle_exit(), previously known as rcu_exit_nohz(), is always invoked at the end of an idle-loop iteration. This allows the idle task to use RCU everywhere except between consecutive rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit() calls, in turn allowing architecture maintainers to specify exactly where in the idle loop that RCU may be used. Because some of the userspace upcall uses can result in what looks to RCU like half of an interrupt, it is not possible to expect that the irq_enter() and irq_exit() hooks will give exact counts. This patch therefore expands the ->dynticks_nesting counter to 64 bits and uses two separate bitfields to count process/idle transitions and interrupt entry/exit transitions. It is presumed that userspace upcalls do not happen in the idle loop or from usermode execution (though usermode might do a system call that results in an upcall). The counter is hard-reset on each process/idle transition, which avoids the interrupt entry/exit error from accumulating. Overflow is avoided by the 64-bitness of the ->dyntick_nesting counter. This commit also adds warnings if a non-idle task asks RCU to enter idle state (and these checks will need some adjustment before applying Frederic's OS-jitter patches (http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/10/7/246).

Long ago, using TREE_RCU with PREEMPT would result in "scheduling while atomic" diagnostics if you blocked in an RCU read-side critical section. However, PREEMPT now implies TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, which defeats this diagnostic. This commit therefore adds a replacement diagnostic based on PROVE_RCU. Because rcu_lockdep_assert() and lockdep_rcu_dereference() are now being used for things that have nothing to do with rcu_dereference(), rename lockdep_rcu_dereference() to lockdep_rcu_suspicious() and add a third argument that is a string indicating what is suspicious. This third argument is passed in from a new third argument to rcu_lockdep_assert(). Update all calls to rcu_lockdep_assert() to add an informative third argument. Also, add a pair of rcu_lockdep_assert() calls from within rcu_note_context_switch(), one complaining if a context switch occurs in an RCU-bh read-side critical section and another complaining if a context switch occurs in an RCU-sched read-side critical section. These are present only if the PROVE_RCU kernel parameter is enabled. Finally, fix some checkpatch whitespace complaints in lockdep.c. Again, you must enable PROVE_RCU to see these new diagnostics. But you are enabling PROVE_RCU to check out new RCU uses in any case, aren't you? Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

So that the offset can be updated by preempt_disable() and preempt_enable() even without the need for CONFIG_PREEMPT beeing set. This prepares to make CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK_SLEEP working with !CONFIG_PREEMPT where it currently doesn't detect code that sleeps inside explicit preemption disabled sections.

Many rcu callbacks functions just call kfree() on the base structure. These functions are trivial, but their size adds up, and furthermore when they are used in a kernel module, that module must invoke the high-latency rcu_barrier() function at module-unload time. The kfree_rcu() function introduced by this commit addresses this issue. Rather than encoding a function address in the embedded rcu_head structure, kfree_rcu() instead encodes the offset of the rcu_head structure within the base structure. Because the functions are not allowed in the low-order 4096 bytes of kernel virtual memory, offsets up to 4095 bytes can be accommodated. If the offset is larger than 4095 bytes, a compile-time error will be generated in __kfree_rcu(). If this error is triggered, you can either fall back to use of call_rcu() or rearrange the structure to position the rcu_head structure into the first 4096 bytes. Note that the allowable offset might decrease in the future, for example, to allow something like kmem_cache_free_rcu(). The new kfree_rcu() function can replace code as follows: call_rcu(&p->rcu, simple_kfree_callback); where "simple_kfree_callback()" might be defined as follows: void simple_kfree_callback(struct rcu_head *p) { struct foo *q = container_of(p, struct foo, rcu); kfree(q); } with the following: kfree_rcu(&p->rcu, rcu); Note that the "rcu" is the name of a field in the structure being freed. The reason for using this rather than passing in a pointer to the base structure is that the above approach allows better type checking.
