Long ago, the various ->completed fields were of type long, but now are unsigned long due to signed-integer-overflow concerns. However, the various _batches_completed() functions remained of type long, even though their only purpose in life is to return the corresponding ->completed field. This patch cleans this up by changing these functions' return types to unsigned long. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The "cpu" argument to rcu_note_context_switch() is always the current CPU, so drop it. This in turn allows the "cpu" argument to rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() to be removed, which allows the sole use of "cpu" in both functions to be replaced with a this_cpu_ptr(). Again, the anticipated cross-CPU uses of these functions has been replaced by NO_HZ_FULL. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

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.

There is currently no way for kernel code to determine whether it is safe to enter an RCU read-side critical section, in other words, whether or not RCU is paying attention to the currently running CPU.

This commit therefore adds __rcu_is_watching(), which returns true if it is safe to enter an RCU read-side critical section on the currently running CPU.

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.

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.

This is a port of commit #b0d30417 from TREE_RCU to TREE_PREEMPT_RCU. Under some rare but real combinations of configuration parameters, RCU callbacks are posted during early boot that use kernel facilities that are not yet initialized. Therefore, when these callbacks are invoked, hard hangs and crashes ensue. This commit therefore prevents RCU callbacks from being invoked until after the scheduler is fully up and running, as in after multiple tasks have been spawned. It might well turn out that a better approach is to identify the specific RCU callbacks that are causing this problem, but that discussion will wait until such time as someone really needs an RCU callback to be invoked (as opposed to merely registered) during early boot.

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().

If RCU priority boosting is to be meaningful, callback invocation must be boosted in addition to preempted RCU readers. Otherwise, in presence of CPU real-time threads, the grace period ends, but the callbacks don't get invoked. If the callbacks don't get invoked, the associated memory doesn't get freed, so the system is still subject to OOM. But it is not reasonable to priority-boost RCU_SOFTIRQ, so this commit moves the callback invocations to a kthread, which can be boosted easily. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

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.

由 Paul E. McKenney 提交于
The addition of preemptible RCU to treercu resulted in a bit of confusion and inefficiency surrounding the handling of context switches for RCU-sched and for RCU-preempt. For RCU-sched, a context switch is a quiescent state, pure and simple, just like it always has been. For RCU-preempt, a context switch is in no way a quiescent state, but special handling is required when a task blocks in an RCU read-side critical section. However, the callout from the scheduler and the outer loop in ksoftirqd still calls something named rcu_sched_qs(), whose name is no longer accurate. Furthermore, when rcu_check_callbacks() notes an RCU-sched quiescent state, it ends up unnecessarily (though harmlessly, aside from the performance hit) enqueuing the current task if it happens to be running in an RCU-preempt read-side critical section. This not only increases the maximum latency of scheduler_tick(), it also needlessly increases the overhead of the next outermost rcu_read_unlock() invocation. This patch addresses this situation by separating the notion of RCU's context-switch handling from that of RCU-sched's quiescent states. The context-switch handling is covered by rcu_note_context_switch() in general and by rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() for preemptible RCU. This permits rcu_sched_qs() to handle quiescent states and only quiescent states. It also reduces the maximum latency of scheduler_tick(), though probably by much less than a microsecond. Finally, it means that tasks within preemptible-RCU read-side critical sections avoid incurring the overhead of queuing unless there really is a context switch.

Currently migration_thread is serving three purposes - migration pusher, context to execute active_load_balance() and forced context switcher for expedited RCU synchronize_sched. All three roles are hardcoded into migration_thread() and determining which job is scheduled is slightly messy. This patch kills migration_thread and replaces all three uses with cpu_stop. The three different roles of migration_thread() are splitted into three separate cpu_stop callbacks - migration_cpu_stop(), active_load_balance_cpu_stop() and synchronize_sched_expedited_cpu_stop() - and each use case now simply asks cpu_stop to execute the callback as necessary. synchronize_sched_expedited() was implemented with private preallocated resources and custom multi-cpu queueing and waiting logic, both of which are provided by cpu_stop. synchronize_sched_expedited_count is made atomic and all other shared resources along with the mutex are dropped. synchronize_sched_expedited() also implemented a check to detect cases where not all the callback got executed on their assigned cpus and fall back to synchronize_sched(). If called with cpu hotplug blocked, cpu_stop already guarantees that and the condition cannot happen; otherwise, stop_machine() would break. However, this patch preserves the paranoid check using a cpumask to record on which cpus the stopper ran so that it can serve as a bisection point if something actually goes wrong theree. Because the internal execution state is no longer visible, rcu_expedited_torture_stats() is removed. This patch also renames cpu_stop threads to from "stopper/%d" to "migration/%d". The names of these threads ultimately don't matter and there's no reason to make unnecessary userland visible changes. With this patch applied, stop_machine() and sched now share the same resources. stop_machine() is faster without wasting any resources and sched migration users are much cleaner.

In practice, it is harmless to voluntarily sleep in a rcu_read_lock() section if we are running under preempt rcu, but it is illegal if we build a kernel running non-preemptable rcu. Currently, might_sleep() doesn't notice sleepable operations under rcu_read_lock() sections if we are running under preemptable rcu because preempt_count() is left untouched after rcu_read_lock() in this case. But we want developers who test their changes under such config to notice the "sleeping while atomic" issues. So we add rcu_read_lock_nesting to prempt_count() in might_sleep() checks.

Remove #ifdefs from kernel/rcupdate.c and include/linux/rcupdate.h by moving code to include/linux/rcutiny.h, include/linux/rcutree.h, and kernel/rcutree.c. Also remove some definitions that are no longer used. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

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.
