There isn't a whole lot of point in poking the scheduler before there are other tasks to switch to. This commit therefore adds a check for rcu_scheduler_fully_active in __rcu_pending() to suppress any pre-scheduler calls to set_need_resched(). The downside of this approach is additional runtime overhead in a reasonably hot code path. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

The trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() function is a no-op in architectures that do not define arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace. On such architectures, RCU CPU stall warning messages contain no stack trace information, which makes debugging quite difficult. This commit therefore substitutes dump_stack() for architectures that do not define arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace, so that at least the local CPU's stack is dumped as part of the RCU CPU stall warning message.

We only need to constrain the compiler if we are actually exiting the top-level RCU read-side critical section. This commit therefore moves the first barrier() cal in __rcu_read_unlock() to inside the "if" statement, thus avoiding needless register flushes for inner rcu_read_unlock() calls.

The differences between rcu_assign_pointer() and RCU_INIT_POINTER() are subtle, and it is easy to use the the cheaper RCU_INIT_POINTER() when the more-expensive rcu_assign_pointer() should have been used instead. The consequences of this mistake are quite severe. This commit therefore carefully lays out the situations in which it it permissible to use RCU_INIT_POINTER(). Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

Recent changes to gcc give warning messages on rcu_assign_pointers()'s checks that allow it to determine when it is OK to omit the memory barrier. Stephen Hemminger tried a number of gcc tricks to silence this warning, but #pragmas and CPP macros do not work together in the way that would be required to make this work. However, we now have RCU_INIT_POINTER(), which already omits this memory barrier, and which therefore may be used when assigning NULL to an RCU-protected pointer that is accessible to readers. This commit therefore makes rcu_assign_pointer() unconditionally emit the memory barrier.

When the ->dynticks field in the rcu_dynticks structure changed to an atomic_t, its size on 64-bit systems changed from 64 bits to 32 bits. The local variables in rcu_implicit_dynticks_qs() need to change as well, hence this commit. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The in_irq() check in rcu_enter_nohz() is redundant because if we really are in an interrupt, the attempt to re-enter dyntick-idle mode will invoke rcu_needs_cpu() in any case, which will force the check for RCU callbacks. So this commit removes the check along with the set_need_resched(). Suggested-by: NFrederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

When rcutorture is compiled directly into the kernel (instead of separately as a module), it is necessary to specify rcutorture.stat_interval as a kernel command-line parameter, otherwise, the rcu_torture_stats kthread is never started. However, when working with the system after it has booted, it is convenient to be able to change the time between statistic printing, particularly when logged into the console. This commit therefore allows the stat_interval parameter to be changed at runtime. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

There is often a delay between the time that a CPU passes through a quiescent state and the time that this quiescent state is reported to the RCU core. It is quite possible that the grace period ended before the quiescent state could be reported, for example, some other CPU might have deduced that this CPU passed through dyntick-idle mode. It is critically important that quiescent state be counted only against the grace period that was in effect at the time that the quiescent state was detected. Previously, this was handled by recording the number of the last grace period to complete when passing through a quiescent state. The RCU core then checks this number against the current value, and rejects the quiescent state if there is a mismatch. However, one additional possibility must be accounted for, namely that the quiescent state was recorded after the prior grace period completed but before the current grace period started. In this case, the RCU core must reject the quiescent state, but the recorded number will match. This is handled when the CPU becomes aware of a new grace period -- at that point, it invalidates any prior quiescent state. This works, but is a bit indirect. The new approach records the current grace period, and the RCU core checks to see (1) that this is still the current grace period and (2) that this grace period has not yet ended. This approach simplifies reasoning about correctness, and this commit changes over to this new approach. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

This commit eliminates the possibility of running TREE_PREEMPT_RCU when SMP=n and of running TINY_RCU when PREEMPT=y. People who really want these combinations can hand-edit init/Kconfig, but eliminating them as choices for production systems reduces the amount of testing required. It will also allow cutting out a few #ifdefs. Note that running TREE_RCU and TINY_RCU on single-CPU systems using SMP-built kernels is still supported. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

Take a first step towards untangling Linux kernel header files by placing the struct rcu_head definition into include/linux/types.h and including include/linux/types.h in include/linux/rcupdate.h where struct rcu_head used to be defined. The actual inclusion point for include/linux/types.h is with the rest of the #include directives rather than at the point where struct rcu_head used to be defined, as suggested by Mathieu Desnoyers. Once this is in place, then header files that need only rcu_head can include types.h rather than rcupdate.h. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

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>

Commit a26ac245 (move TREE_RCU from softirq to kthread) added per-CPU kthreads. However, kthread creation uses kthread_create(), which can put the kthread's stack and task struct on the wrong NUMA node. Therefore, use kthread_create_on_node() instead of kthread_create() so that the stacks and task structs are placed on the correct NUMA node. A similar change was carried out in commit 94dcf29a (kthread: use kthread_create_on_node()). Also change rcutorture's priority-boost-test kthread creation.

That flag no longer makes sense, since we don't look up automount points as eagerly any more. Additionally, it turns out that the NO_AUTOMOUNT handling was buggy to begin with: it would avoid automounting even for cases where we really *needed* to do the automount handling, and could return ENOENT for autofs entries that hadn't been instantiated yet. With our new non-eager automount semantics, one discussion has been about adding a AT_AUTOMOUNT flag to vfs_fstatat (and thus the newfstatat() and fstatat64() system calls), but it's probably not worth it: you can always force at least directory automounting by simply adding the final '/' to the filename, which works for *all* of the stat family system calls, old and new. So AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT (and thus LOOKUP_NO_AUTOMOUNT) really were just a result of our bad default behavior.
