As the first step towards allowing quiescent-state forcing to be preemptible, this commit moves RCU quiescent-state forcing into the same kthread that is now used to initialize and clean up after grace periods. This is yet another step towards keeping scheduling latency down to a dull roar. Updated to change from raw_spin_lock_irqsave() to raw_spin_lock_irq() and to remove the now-unused rcu_state structure fields as suggested by Peter Zijlstra.

In kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ=y, CPUs can accumulate a large number of lazy callbacks, which as the name implies will be slow to be invoked. This can be a problem on small-memory systems, where the default 6-second sleep for CPUs having only lazy RCU callbacks could well be fatal. This commit therefore installs an OOM hander that ensures that every CPU with lazy callbacks has at least one non-lazy callback, in turn ensuring timely advancement for these callbacks. Updated to fix bug that disabled OOM killing, noted by Lai Jiangshan. Updated to push the for_each_rcu_flavor() loop into rcu_oom_notify_cpu(), thus reducing the number of IPIs, as suggested by Steven Rostedt. Also to make the for_each_online_cpu() loop be preemptible. (Later, it might be good to use smp_call_function(), as suggested by Peter Zijlstra.) Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

The rcu_node tree array is sized based on compile-time constants, including NR_CPUS. Although this approach has worked well in the past, the recent trend by many distros to define NR_CPUS=4096 results in excessive grace-period-initialization latencies. This commit therefore substitutes the run-time computed nr_cpu_ids for the compile-time NR_CPUS when building the tree. This can result in much of the compile-time-allocated rcu_node array being unused. If this is a major problem, you are in a specialized situation anyway, so you can manually adjust the NR_CPUS, RCU_FANOUT, and RCU_FANOUT_LEAF kernel config parameters. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

When a CPU is entering dyntick-idle mode, tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() calls rcu_needs_cpu() see if RCU needs that CPU, and, if not, computes the next wakeup time based on the timer wheels. Only later, when actually entering the idle loop, rcu_prepare_for_idle() will be invoked. In some cases, rcu_prepare_for_idle() will post timers to wake the CPU back up. But all for naught: The next wakeup time for the CPU has already been computed, and posting a timer afterwards does not force that wakeup time to be recomputed. This means that rcu_prepare_for_idle()'s have no effect. This is not a problem on a busy system because something else will wake up the CPU soon enough. However, on lightly loaded systems, the CPU might stay asleep for a considerable length of time. If that CPU has a callback that the rest of the system is waiting on, the system might run very slowly or (in theory) even hang. This commit avoids this problem by having rcu_needs_cpu() give tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() an estimate of when RCU will need the CPU to wake back up, which tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() takes into account when programming the CPU's wakeup time. An alternative approach is for rcu_prepare_for_idle() to use hrtimers instead of normal timers, but timers are much more efficient than are hrtimers for frequently and repeatedly posting and cancelling a given timer, which is exactly what RCU_FAST_NO_HZ does.

The current RCU_FAST_NO_HZ assumes that timers do not migrate unless a CPU goes offline, in which case it assumes that the CPU will have to come out of dyntick-idle mode (cancelling the timer) in order to go offline. This is important because when RCU_FAST_NO_HZ permits a CPU to enter dyntick-idle mode despite having RCU callbacks pending, it posts a timer on that CPU to force a wakeup on that CPU. This wakeup ensures that the CPU will eventually handle the end of the grace period, including invoking its RCU callbacks. However, Pascal Chapperon's test setup shows that the timer handler rcu_idle_gp_timer_func() really does get invoked in some cases. This is problematic because this can cause the CPU that entered dyntick-idle mode despite still having RCU callbacks pending to remain in dyntick-idle mode indefinitely, which means that its RCU callbacks might never be invoked. This situation can result in grace-period delays or even system hangs, which matches Pascal's observations of slow boot-up and shutdown (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/5/142). See also the bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=806548 This commit therefore causes the "should never be invoked" timer handler rcu_idle_gp_timer_func() to use smp_call_function_single() to wake up the CPU for which the timer was intended, allowing that CPU to invoke its RCU callbacks in a timely manner.

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.

Timers are subject to migration, which can lead to the following system-hang scenario when CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ=y: 1. CPU 0 executes synchronize_rcu(), which posts an RCU callback. 2. CPU 0 then goes idle. It cannot immediately invoke the callback, but there is nothing RCU needs from ti, so it enters dyntick-idle mode after posting a timer. 3. The timer gets migrated to CPU 1. 4. CPU 0 never wakes up, so the synchronize_rcu() never returns, so the system hangs. This commit fixes this problem by using mod_timer_pinned(), as suggested by Peter Zijlstra, to ensure that the timer is actually posted on the running CPU.

RCU_FAST_NO_HZ uses a timer to limit the time that a CPU with callbacks can remain in dyntick-idle mode. This timer is cancelled when the CPU exits idle, and therefore should never fire. However, if the timer were migrated to some other CPU for whatever reason (1) the timer could actually fire and (2) firing on some other CPU would fail to wake up the CPU with callbacks, possibly resulting in sluggishness or a system hang.

Both Steven Rostedt's new idle-capable trace macros and the RCU_NONIDLE() macro can cause RCU to momentarily pause out of idle without the rest of the system being involved. This can cause rcu_prepare_for_idle() to run through its state machine too quickly, which can in turn result in needless scheduling-clock interrupts. This commit therefore adds code to enable rcu_prepare_for_idle() to distinguish between an initial entry to idle on the one hand (which needs to advance the rcu_prepare_for_idle() state machine) and an idle reentry due to idle-capable trace macros and RCU_NONIDLE() on the other hand (which should avoid advancing the rcu_prepare_for_idle() state machine). Additional state is maintained to allow the timer to be correctly reposted when returning after a momentary pause out of idle, and even more state is maintained to detect when new non-lazy callbacks have been enqueued (which may require re-evaluation of the approach to idleness).

If a softirq is pending, the current CPU has RCU callbacks pending, and RCU does not immediately need anything from this CPU, then the current code resets the RCU_FAST_NO_HZ state machine. This means that upon exit from the subsequent softirq handler, RCU_FAST_NO_HZ will try really hard to force RCU into dyntick-idle mode. And if the same conditions hold after a few tries (determined by RCU_IDLE_OPT_FLUSHES), the same situation can repeat, possibly endlessly. This scenario is not particularly good for battery lifetime. This commit therefore suppresses the early exit from the RCU_FAST_NO_HZ state machine in the case where there is a softirq pending. This change forces the state machine to retain its memory, and to enter holdoff if this condition persists.

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.)

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().
