Implement a small-memory-footprint uniprocessor-only implementation of preemptible RCU. This implementation uses but a single blocked-tasks list rather than the combinatorial number used per leaf rcu_node by TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, which reduces memory consumption and greatly simplifies processing. This version also takes advantage of uniprocessor execution to accelerate grace periods in the case where there are no readers. The general design is otherwise broadly similar to that of TREE_PREEMPT_RCU. This implementation is a step towards having RCU implementation driven off of the SMP and PREEMPT kernel configuration variables, which can happen once this implementation has accumulated sufficient experience. Removed ACCESS_ONCE() from __rcu_read_unlock() and added barrier() as suggested by Steve Rostedt in order to avoid the compiler-reordering issue noted by Mathieu Desnoyers (http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/8/16/183). As can be seen below, CONFIG_TINY_PREEMPT_RCU represents almost 5Kbyte savings compared to CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU. Of course, for non-real-time workloads, CONFIG_TINY_RCU is even better.

Helps finding racy users of call_rcu(), which results in hangs because list entries are overwritten and/or skipped. Changelog since v4: - Bissectability is now OK - Now generate a WARN_ON_ONCE() for non-initialized rcu_head passed to call_rcu(). Statically initialized objects are detected with object_is_static(). - Rename rcu_head_init_on_stack to init_rcu_head_on_stack. - Remove init_rcu_head() completely. Changelog since v3: - Include comments from Lai Jiangshan This new patch version is based on the debugobjects with the newly introduced "active state" tracker. Non-initialized entries are all considered as "statically initialized". An activation fixup (triggered by call_rcu()) takes care of performing the debug object initialization without issuing any warning. Since we cannot increase the size of struct rcu_head, I don't see much room to put an identifier for statically initialized rcu_head structures. So for now, we have to live without "activation without explicit init" detection. But the main purpose of this debug option is to detect double-activations (double call_rcu() use of a rcu_head before the callback is executed), which is correctly addressed here. This also detects potential internal RCU callback corruption, which would cause the callbacks to be executed twice. Signed-off-by: NMathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> CC: David S.

Remove all rcu head inits. We don't care about the RCU head state before passing it to call_rcu() anyway. Only leave the "on_stack" variants so debugobjects can keep track of objects on stack.

TINY_RCU does not need rcu_scheduler_active unless CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC. So conditionally compile rcu_scheduler_active in order to slim down rcutiny a bit more. Also gets rid of an EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL, which is responsible for most of the slimming. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Because synchronize_rcu_bh() is identical to synchronize_sched(), make the former a static inline invoking the latter, saving the overhead of an EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() and the duplicate code. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The functions rcu_init() is a wrapper for __rcu_init(), and also sets up the CPU-hotplug notifier for rcu_barrier_cpu_hotplug(). But TINY_RCU doesn't need CPU-hotplug notification, and the rcu_barrier_cpu_hotplug() is a simple wrapper for rcu_cpu_notify(). So push rcu_init() out to kernel/rcutree.c and kernel/rcutiny.c and get rid of the wrapper function rcu_barrier_cpu_hotplug(). Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

This patch is a version of RCU designed for !SMP provided for a small-footprint RCU implementation. In particular, the implementation of synchronize_rcu() is extremely lightweight and high performance. It passes rcutorture testing in each of the four relevant configurations (combinations of NO_HZ and PREEMPT) on x86. This saves about 1K bytes compared to old Classic RCU (which is no longer in mainline), and more than three kilobytes compared to Hierarchical RCU (updated to 2.6.30): CONFIG_TREE_RCU: text data bss dec filename 183 4 0 187 kernel/rcupdate.o 2783 520 36 3339 kernel/rcutree.o 3526 Total (vs 4565 for v7) CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU: text data bss dec filename 263 4 0 267 kernel/rcupdate.o 4594 776 52 5422 kernel/rcutree.o 5689 Total (6155 for v7) CONFIG_TINY_RCU: text data bss dec filename 96 4 0 100 kernel/rcupdate.o 734 24 0 758 kernel/rcutiny.o 858 Total (vs 848 for v7) The above is for x86. Your mileage may vary on other platforms. Further compression is possible, but is being procrastinated. Changes from v7 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/10/9/388) o Apply Lai Jiangshan's review comments (aside from might_sleep() in synchronize_sched(), which is covered by SMP builds). o Fix up expedited primitives. Changes from v6 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/9/23/293). o Forward ported to put it into the 2.6.33 stream. o Added lockdep support. o Make lightweight rcu_barrier. Changes from v5 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/23/12). o Ported to latest pre-2.6.32 merge window kernel. - Renamed rcu_qsctr_inc() to rcu_sched_qs(). - Renamed rcu_bh_qsctr_inc() to rcu_bh_qs(). - Provided trivial rcu_cpu_notify(). - Provided trivial exit_rcu(). - Provided trivial rcu_needs_cpu(). - Fixed up the rcu_*_enter/exit() functions in linux/hardirq.h. o Removed the dependence on EMBEDDED, with a view to making TINY_RCU default for !SMP at some time in the future. o Added (trivial) support for expedited grace periods. Changes from v4 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/5/2/91) include: o Squeeze the size down a bit further by removing the ->completed field from struct rcu_ctrlblk. o This permits synchronize_rcu() to become the empty function. Previous concerns about rcutorture were unfounded, as rcutorture correctly handles a constant value from rcu_batches_completed() and rcu_batches_completed_bh(). Changes from v3 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/29/221) include: o Changed rcu_batches_completed(), rcu_batches_completed_bh() rcu_enter_nohz(), rcu_exit_nohz(), rcu_nmi_enter(), and rcu_nmi_exit(), to be static inlines, as suggested by David Howells. Doing this saves about 100 bytes from rcutiny.o. (The numbers between v3 and this v4 of the patch are not directly comparable, since they are against different versions of Linux.) Changes from v2 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/2/3/333) include: o Fix whitespace issues. o Change short-circuit "||" operator to instead be "+" in order to fix performance bug noted by "kraai" on LWN. (http://lwn.net/Articles/324348/) Changes from v1 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/13/440) include: o This version depends on EMBEDDED as well as !SMP, as suggested by Ingo. o Updated rcu_needs_cpu() to unconditionally return zero, permitting the CPU to enter dynticks-idle mode at any time. This works because callbacks can be invoked upon entry to dynticks-idle mode. o Paul is now OK with this being included, based on a poll at the Kernel Miniconf at linux.conf.au, where about ten people said that they cared about saving 900 bytes on single-CPU systems. o Applies to both mainline and tip/core/rcu.
