Some of the uses of the rcu_state structure's ->jiffies_stall field do not use ACCESS_ONCE(), despite there being unprotected accesses.

In the old days, the only source of requests for future grace periods was NOCB CPUs. This has changed: CPUs routinely post requests for future grace periods in order to promote power efficiency and reduce OS jitter with minimal impact on grace-period latency. This commit therefore updates cpu_needs_another_gp() to invoke rcu_future_needs_gp() instead of rcu_nocb_needs_gp(). The latter is no longer used, so is now removed. This commit also adds tracing for the irq_work_queue() wakeup case. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: NJosh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org>

The print_other_cpu_stall() and print_cpu_stall() functions print grace-period numbers using an unsigned format, which means that the number one less than zero is a very large number.

The following pattern is currently not well supported by RCU: 1. Make data element inaccessible to RCU readers. 2. Do work that probably lasts for more than one grace period. 3. Do something to make sure RCU readers in flight before #1 above have completed. Here are some things that could currently be done: a. Do a synchronize_rcu() unconditionally at either #1 or #3 above. This works, but imposes needless work and latency. b. Post an RCU callback at #1 above that does a wakeup, then wait for the wakeup at #3. This works well, but likely results in an extra unneeded grace period. Open-coding this is also a bit more semi-tricky code than would be good. This commit therefore adds get_state_synchronize_rcu() and cond_synchronize_rcu() APIs. Call get_state_synchronize_rcu() at #1 above and pass its return value to cond_synchronize_rcu() at #3 above. This results in a call to synchronize_rcu() if no grace period has elapsed between #1 and #3, but requires only a load, comparison, and memory barrier if a full grace period did elapse.

The kbuild test bot uncovered an implicit dependence on the trace header being present before rcu.h in ia64 allmodconfig that looks like this: In file included from kernel/ksysfs.c:22:0: kernel/rcu/rcu.h: In function '__rcu_reclaim': kernel/rcu/rcu.h:107:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'trace_rcu_invoke_kfree_callback' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] kernel/rcu/rcu.h:112:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'trace_rcu_invoke_callback' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] cc1: some warnings being treated as errors Looking at other rcu.h users, we can find that they all were sourcing the trace header in advance of rcu.h itself, as seen in the context of this diff. There were also some inconsistencies as to whether it was or wasn't sourced based on the parent tracing Kconfig. Rather than "fix" it at each use site, and have inconsistent use based on whether "#ifdef CONFIG_RCU_TRACE" was used or not, lets just source the trace header just once, in the actual consumer of it, which is rcu.h itself. We include it unconditionally, as build testing shows us that is a hard requirement for some files.

Not all of the rcutorture kthreads waited for kthread_should_stop() before returning from their top-level functions, and none of them used torture_shutdown_absorb() properly. These problems can result in segfaults and hangs at shutdown time, and some recent changes perturbed timing sufficiently to make them much more probable. This commit therefore creates a torture_kthread_stopping() function that does the proper kthread shutdown dance in one centralized location. Accommodate this grouping by making VERBOSE_TOROUT_STRING() capable of taking a non-const string as its argument, which allows the new torture_kthread_stopping() to pass its "title" argument directly to the updated version of VERBOSE_TOROUT_STRING().
