After commit #10f39bb1 (rcu: protect __rcu_read_unlock() against
scheduler-using irq handlers), it is no longer possible to enter
the main body of rcu_read_lock_special() from an NMI, interrupt, or
softirq handler.  In theory, this implies that the check for "in_irq()
|| in_serving_softirq()" must always fail, so that in theory this check
could be removed entirely.

In practice, this commit wraps this condition with a WARN_ON_ONCE().
If this warning never triggers, then the condition will be removed
entirely.

[ paulmck: And one way of triggering the WARN_ON() is if a scheduling
  clock interrupt occurs in an RCU read-side critical section, setting
  RCU_READ_UNLOCK_NEED_QS, which is handled by rcu_read_unlock_special().
  Updated this commit to return if only that bit was set. ]

The underlying problem is that perf is invoking call_rcu() with the
scheduler locks held, but in NOCB mode, call_rcu() will with high
probability invoke the scheduler -- which just might want to use its
locks.  The reason that call_rcu() needs to invoke the scheduler is
to wake up the corresponding rcuo callback-offload kthread, which
does the job of starting up a grace period and invoking the callbacks
afterwards.

One solution (championed on a related problem by Lai Jiangshan) is to
simply defer the wakeup to some point where scheduler locks are no longer
held.  Since we don't want to unnecessarily incur the cost of such
deferral, the task before us is threefold:

1.	Determine when it is likely that a relevant scheduler lock is held.

2.	Defer the wakeup in such cases.

3.	Ensure that all deferred wakeups eventually happen, preferably
	sooner rather than later.

We use irqs_disabled_flags() as a proxy for relevant scheduler locks
being held.  This works because the relevant locks are always acquired
with interrupts disabled.  We may defer more often than needed, but that
is at least safe.

The wakeup deferral is tracked via a new field in the per-CPU and
per-RCU-flavor rcu_data structure, namely ->nocb_defer_wakeup.

This flag is checked by the RCU core processing.  The __rcu_pending()
function now checks this flag, which causes rcu_check_callbacks()
to initiate RCU core processing at each scheduling-clock interrupt
where this flag is set.  Of course this is not sufficient because
scheduling-clock interrupts are often turned off (the things we used to
be able to count on!).  So the flags are also checked on entry to any
state that RCU considers to be idle, which includes both NO_HZ_IDLE idle
state and NO_HZ_FULL user-mode-execution state.

This approach should allow call_rcu() to be invoked regardless of what
locks you might be holding, the key word being "should".

It is all too easy to forget that wait_event() does not necessarily
imply a full memory barrier.  The case where it does not is where the
condition transitions to true just as wait_event() starts execution.
This is actually a feature: The standard use of wait_event() involves
locking, in which case the locks provide the needed ordering (you hold a
lock across the wake_up() and acquire that same lock after wait_event()
returns).

Given that I did forget that wait_event() does not necessarily imply a
full memory barrier in one case, this commit fixes that case.  This commit
also adds comments calling out the placement of existing memory barriers
relied on by wait_event() calls.

If a non-lazy callback arrives on a CPU that has previously gone idle
with no non-lazy callbacks, invoke_rcu_core() forces the RCU core to
run.  However, it does not update the conditions, which could result
in several closely spaced invocations of the RCU core, which in turn
could result in an excessively high context-switch rate and resulting
high overhead.

This commit therefore updates the ->all_lazy and ->nonlazy_posted_snap

The rcu_try_advance_all_cbs() function is invoked on each attempted
entry to and every exit from idle.  If this function determines that
there are callbacks ready to invoke, the caller will invoke the RCU

CPU enters and exits idle extremely frequently, this can result in
an excessive number of context switches and high CPU overhead.

__get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One
of them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x). This
calculates the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the
current processor based on an offset.

Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current
processors percpu area.  __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when
writing data or on the right side of an assignment.

__get_cpu_var() is defined as :

__get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However,
store and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global
register on other platforms) to avoid the address calculation.

this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into
a percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per
cpu variables.

This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations
that use the offset. Thereby address calcualtions are avoided and less
registers are used when code is generated.

At the end of the patchset all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed
so the macro is removed too.

The patchset includes passes over all arches as well. Once these
operations are used throughout then specialized macros can be defined in
non -x86 arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by f.e. using
a global register that may be set to the per cpu base.

Transformations done to __get_cpu_var()

1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
	int *x = &__get_cpu_var(y);

    Converts to

	int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&y);

2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]);
	int *x = __get_cpu_var(y);

    Converts to

	int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y);

3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu
   variable.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, u);
	int x = __get_cpu_var(y)

   Converts to

	int x = __this_cpu_read(y);

4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y);
	struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y);

	memcpy(this_cpu_ptr(&x), y, sizeof(x));

5. Assignment to a per cpu variable

Because RCU's quiescent-state-forcing mechanism is used to drive the
full-system-idle state machine, and because this mechanism is executed
by RCU's grace-period kthreads, this commit forces these kthreads to
run on the timekeeping CPU (tick_do_timer_cpu).  To do otherwise would
mean that the RCU grace-period kthreads would force the system into
non-idle state every time they drove the state machine, which would
be just a bit on the futile side.

This commit adds the state machine that takes the per-CPU idle data
as input and produces a full-system-idle indication as output.  This
state machine is driven out of RCU's quiescent-state-forcing
mechanism, which invokes rcu_sysidle_check_cpu() to collect per-CPU
idle state and then rcu_sysidle_report() to drive the state machine.

The full-system-idle state is sampled using rcu_sys_is_idle(), which
also drives the state machine if RCU is idle (and does so by forcing
RCU to become non-idle).  This function returns true if all but the
timekeeping CPU (tick_do_timer_cpu) are idle and have been idle long
enough to avoid memory contention on the full_sysidle_state state
variable.  The rcu_sysidle_force_exit() may be called externally
to reset the state machine back into non-idle state.

For large systems the state machine is driven out of RCU's
force-quiescent-state logic, which provides good scalability at the price
of millisecond-scale latencies on the transition to full-system-idle
state.  This is not so good for battery-powered systems, which are usually
small enough that they don't need to care about scalability, but which
do care deeply about energy efficiency.  Small systems therefore drive
the state machine directly out of the idle-entry code.  The number of
CPUs in a "small" system is defined by a new NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE_SMALL
Kconfig parameter, which defaults to 8.  Note that this is a build-time
definition.

The system will progress through the states in numerical order when

The current state is kept in full_sysidle_state.

transitions into and out of the idle loop (NMIs are ignored because NMI
handlers cannot cleanly read out the time anyway).  This code is similar

This commit adds fields to the rcu_dyntick structure that are used to
detect idle CPUs.  These new fields differ from the existing ones in
that the existing ones consider a CPU executing in user mode to be idle,
where the new ones consider CPUs executing in user mode to be busy.
The handling of these new fields is otherwise quite similar to that for
the exiting fields.  This commit also adds the initialization required
for these fields.

So, why is usermode execution treated differently, with RCU considering
it a quiescent state equivalent to idle, while in contrast the new
full-system idle state detection considers usermode execution to be
non-idle?

It turns out that although one of RCU's quiescent states is usermode
execution, it is not a full-system idle state.  This is because the
purpose of the full-system idle state is not RCU, but rather determining
when accurate timekeeping can safely be disabled.  Whenever accurate
timekeeping is required in a CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL kernel, at least one
CPU must keep the scheduling-clock tick going.  If even one CPU is
executing in user mode, accurate timekeeping is requires, particularly for
architectures where gettimeofday() and friends do not enter the kernel.
Only when all CPUs are really and truly idle can accurate timekeeping be
disabled, allowing all CPUs to turn off the scheduling clock interrupt,
thus greatly improving energy efficiency.

This naturally raises the question "Why is this code in RCU rather than in
timekeeping?", and the answer is that RCU has the data and infrastructure
to efficiently make this determination.

Currently, RCU tracepoints save only a pointer to strings in the
ring buffer. When displayed via the /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace file
they are referenced like the printf "%s" that looks at the address
in the ring buffer and prints out the string it points too. This requires
that the strings are constant and persistent in the kernel.

The problem with this is for tools like trace-cmd and perf that read the
binary data from the buffers but have no access to the kernel memory to
find out what string is represented by the address in the buffer.

By using the tracepoint_string infrastructure, the RCU tracepoint strings
can be exported such that userspace tools can map the addresses to
the strings.

 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/printk_formats
0xffffffff81a4a0e8 : "rcu_preempt"
0xffffffff81a4a0f4 : "rcu_bh"

0xffffffff818437b7 : "Start context switch"
0xffffffff818437cc : "End context switch"

The RCU_STATE_INITIALIZER() macro is used only in the rcutree.c file
as well as the rcutree_plugin.h file. It is passed as a rvalue to
a variable of a similar name. A per_cpu variable is also created
with a similar name as well.

The uses of RCU_STATE_INITIALIZER() can be simplified to remove some
of the duplicate code that is done. Currently the three users of this
macro has this format:

struct rcu_state rcu_sched_state =
	RCU_STATE_INITIALIZER(rcu_sched, call_rcu_sched);
DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct rcu_data, rcu_sched_data);

Notice that "rcu_sched" is called three times. This is the same with
the other two users. This can be condensed to just:

RCU_STATE_INITIALIZER(rcu_sched, call_rcu_sched);

by moving the rest into the macro itself.

This also opens the door to allow the RCU tracepoint strings and
their addresses to be exported so that userspace tracing tools can
translate the contents of the pointers of the RCU tracepoints.
The change will allow for helper code to be placed in the
RCU_STATE_INITIALIZER() macro to export the name that is used.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

This removes all the drivers/rcu uses of the __cpuinit macros
from all C files.

Now that TINY_PREEMPT_RCU is no more, exit_rcu() is always an empty
function.  But if TINY_RCU is going to have an empty function, it should
be in include/linux/rcutiny.h, where it does not bloat the kernel.
This commit therefore moves exit_rcu() out of kernel/rcupdate.c to
kernel/rcutree_plugin.h, and places a static inline empty function in
include/linux/rcutiny.h in order to shrink TINY_RCU a bit.

Adaptive-ticks CPUs inform RCU when they enter kernel mode, but they do
not necessarily turn the scheduler-clock tick back on.  This state of
affairs could result in RCU waiting on an adaptive-ticks CPU running
for an extended period in kernel mode.  Such a CPU will never run the
RCU state machine, and could therefore indefinitely extend the RCU state
machine, sooner or later resulting in an OOM condition.

This patch, inspired by an earlier patch by Frederic Weisbecker, therefore
causes RCU's force-quiescent-state processing to check for this condition
and to send an IPI to CPUs that remain in that state for too long.
"Too long" currently means about three jiffies by default, which is
quite some time for a CPU to remain in the kernel without blocking.
The rcu_tree.jiffies_till_first_fqs and rcutree.jiffies_till_next_fqs
sysfs variables may be used to tune "too long" if needed.

Currently, the per-no-CBs-CPU kthreads are named "rcuo" followed by
the CPU number, for example, "rcuo".  This is problematic given that
there are either two or three RCU flavors, each of which gets a per-CPU
kthread with exactly the same name.  This commit therefore introduces
a one-letter abbreviation for each RCU flavor, namely 'b' for RCU-bh,
'p' for RCU-preempt, and 's' for RCU-sched.  This abbreviation is used
to distinguish the "rcuo" kthreads, for example, for CPU 0 we would have
"rcuob/0", "rcuop/0", and "rcuos/0".
