Because newly offlined CPUs continue executing after completing the CPU_DYING notifiers, they legitimately enter the scheduler and use RCU while appearing to be offline. This calls for a more sophisticated approach as follows: 1. RCU marks the CPU online during the CPU_UP_PREPARE phase. 2. RCU marks the CPU offline during the CPU_DEAD phase. 3. Diagnostics regarding use of read-side RCU by offline CPUs use RCU's accounting rather than the cpu_online_map. (Note that __call_rcu() still uses cpu_online_map to detect illegal invocations within CPU_DYING notifiers.) 4. Offline CPUs are prevented from hanging the system by force_quiescent_state(), which pays attention to cpu_online_map. Some additional work (in a later commit) will be needed to guarantee that force_quiescent_state() waits a full jiffy before assuming that a CPU is offline, for example, when called from idle entry. (This commit also makes the one-jiffy wait explicit, since the old-style implicit wait can now be defeated by RCU_FAST_NO_HZ and by rcutorture.) This approach avoids the false positives encountered when attempting to use more exact classification of CPU online/offline state. 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.

The default CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT value of 60 seconds has served Linux users well for production use for quite some time. However, for debugging, there will be more than three minutes between subsequent stall-warning messages.

The grace-period initialization sequence in rcu_start_gp() has a special case for systems where the rcu_node tree is a single rcu_node structure. This made sense some years ago when systems were smaller and up to 64 CPUs could share a single rcu_node structure, but now that large systems are common and a given leaf rcu_node structure can support only 16 CPUs (due to lock contention on the rcu_node's ->lock field), this optimization is almost never taken. And even the small mobile platforms that might make use of it might rather have the kernel text reduction. Therefore, this commit removes the check for single-rcu_node trees. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

RCU's current CPU-offline code path dumps all of the outgoing CPU's callbacks onto the RCU_NEXT_TAIL portion of the surviving CPU's callback list. This means that all the ready-to-invoke callbacks from the outgoing CPU must wait for another full RCU grace period. This was just fine when CPU-hotplug events were rare, but there is increasing evidence that users are planning to make increasing use of CPU hotplug. Therefore, this commit changes the callback-dumping procedure so that callbacks that are ready to invoke are moved to the RCU_DONE_TAIL portion of the surviving CPU's callback list. This avoids running these callbacks through a second unnecessary grace period. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

Because quiescent states are now reported from offline CPUs in CPU_DYING state, there is some possibility that such a CPU might note the end of a grace period and attempt to start invoking callbacks. This would be a very bad thing, and is supposed to be prevented by the fact that the CPU_DYING CPU gets rid of all its callbacks before reporting the quiescent state. However, there is other CPU-offline code in the kernel, and it is quite possible that someone will invoke RCU core processing from that code. Therefore, this commit adds a warning for this case.

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().

The rcu_do_batch() function that invokes callbacks for TREE_RCU and TREE_PREEMPT_RCU normally throttles callback invocation to avoid degrading scheduling latency. However, as long as the CPU would otherwise be idle, there is no downside to continuing to invoke any callbacks that have passed through their grace periods. In fact, processing such callbacks in a timely manner has the benefit of increasing the probability that the CPU can enter the power-saving dyntick-idle mode. Therefore, this commit allows callback invocation to continue beyond the preset limit as long as the scheduler does not have some other task to run and as long as context is that of the idle task or the relevant RCU kthread.

The current implementation of RCU_FAST_NO_HZ prevents CPUs from entering dyntick-idle state if they have RCU callbacks pending. Unfortunately, this has the side-effect of often preventing them from entering this state, especially if at least one other CPU is not in dyntick-idle state. However, the resulting per-tick wakeup is wasteful in many cases: if the CPU has already fully responded to the current RCU grace period, there will be nothing for it to do until this grace period ends, which will frequently take several jiffies. This commit therefore permits a CPU that has done everything that the current grace period has asked of it (rcu_pending() == 0) even if it still as RCU callbacks pending. However, such a CPU posts a timer to wake it up several jiffies later (6 jiffies, based on experience with grace-period lengths). This wakeup is required to handle situations that can result in all CPUs being in dyntick-idle mode, thus failing to ever complete the current grace period. If a CPU wakes up before the timer goes off, then it cancels that timer, thus avoiding spurious wakeups. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

Assertions in rcu_init_percpu_data() unknowingly relied on outgoing CPUs being turned off before reaching the idle loop. Unfortunately, when running under kvm/qemu on x86, CPUs really can get to idle before begin shut off. These CPUs are then born in dyntick-idle mode from an RCU perspective, which results in splats in rcu_init_percpu_data() and in RCU wrongly ignoring those CPUs despite them being active. This in turn can cause RCU to end grace periods prematurely, potentially freeing up memory that the newly onlined CPUs were still using. This is most decidedly not what we need to see in an RCU implementation. This commit therefore replaces the assertions in rcu_init_percpu_data() with code that forces RCU's dyntick-idle view of newly onlined CPUs to match reality. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

With the new implementation of RCU_FAST_NO_HZ, it was possible to hang RCU grace periods as follows: o CPU 0 attempts to go idle, cycles several times through the rcu_prepare_for_idle() loop, then goes dyntick-idle when RCU needs nothing more from it, while still having at least on RCU callback pending. o CPU 1 goes idle with no callbacks. Both CPUs can then stay in dyntick-idle mode indefinitely, preventing the RCU grace period from ever completing, possibly hanging the system. This commit therefore prevents CPUs that have RCU callbacks from entering dyntick-idle mode. This approach also eliminates the need for the end-of-grace-period IPIs used previously.

This way we can guarantee an extended quiescent window where the CPU can be put in dyntick idle mode or can simply aoid to be part of any global grace period completion while in the idle loop.

Because rcu_is_cpu_idle() is to be used to check for extended quiescent states in RCU-preempt read-side critical sections, it cannot assume that preemption is disabled. And preemption must be disabled when accessing the dyntick-idle state, because otherwise the following sequence of events could occur: 1. Task A on CPU 1 enters rcu_is_cpu_idle() and picks up the pointer to CPU 1's per-CPU variables. 2. Task B preempts Task A and starts running on CPU 1. 3. Task A migrates to CPU 2. 4. Task B blocks, leaving CPU 1 idle. 5. Task A continues execution on CPU 2, accessing CPU 1's dyntick-idle information using the pointer fetched in step 1 above, and finds that CPU 1 is idle. 6. Task A therefore incorrectly concludes that it is executing in an extended quiescent state, possibly issuing a spurious splat.

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).

It is possible for the CPU that noted the end of the prior grace period to not need a new one, and therefore to decide to propagate ->completed throughout the rcu_node tree without starting another grace period. However, in so doing, it releases the root rcu_node structure's lock, which can allow some other CPU to start another grace period. The first CPU will be propagating ->completed in parallel with the second CPU initializing the rcu_node tree for the new grace period. In theory this is harmless, but in practice we need to keep things simple. This commit therefore moves the propagation of ->completed to rcu_report_qs_rsp(), and refrains from marking the old grace period as having been completed until it has finished doing this. This prevents anyone from starting a new grace period concurrently with marking the old grace period as having been completed. Of course, the optimization where a CPU needing a new grace period doesn't bother marking the old one completed is still in effect: In that case, the marking happens implicitly as part of initializing the new grace period.
