The current rcu_batch_end event trace records only the name of the RCU flavor and the total number of callbacks that remain queued on the current CPU. This is insufficient for testing and tuning the new dyntick-idle RCU_FAST_NO_HZ code, so this commit adds idle state along with whether or not any of the callbacks that were ready to invoke at the beginning of rcu_do_batch() are still queued.

The rcutorture test now can automatically exercise CPU hotplug and collect success statistics, which can be correlated with other rcutorture activity. This permits rcutorture to completely exercise RCU regardless of what sort of userspace and filesystem layout is in use. Unfortunately, rcutorture is happy to attempt to offline CPUs that cannot be offlined, for example, CPU 0 in both the x86 and ARM architectures. Although this allows rcutorture testing to proceed normally, it confounds attempts at error analysis due to the resulting flood of spurious CPU-hotplug errors. Therefore, this commit uses the new cpu_is_hotpluggable() function to avoid attempting to offline CPUs that are not hotpluggable, which in turn avoids spurious CPU-hotplug errors.

When architectures register CPUs, they indicate whether the CPU allows hotplugging; notably, x86 and ARM don't allow hotplugging CPU 0. Userspace can easily query the hotpluggability of a CPU via sysfs; however, the kernel has no convenient way of accessing that property in an architecture-independent way. While the kernel can simply try it and see, some code needs to distinguish between "hotplug failed" and "hotplug has no hope of working on this CPU"; for example, rcutorture's CPU hotplug tests want to avoid drowning out real hotplug failures with expected failures. Expose this property via a new cpu_is_hotpluggable function, so that the rest of the kernel can access it in an architecture-independent way.

If there are other CPUs active at a given point in time, then there is a limit to what a given CPU can do to advance the current RCU grace period. Beyond this limit, attempting to force the RCU grace period forward will do nothing but consume energy burning CPU cycles. Therefore, this commit takes an adaptive approach to RCU_FAST_NO_HZ preparations for idle. It pushes the RCU core state machine for two cycles unconditionally, and then it will push from zero to three additional cycles, but only as long as the RCU core has work for this CPU to do immediately. The rcu_pending() function is used to check whether the RCU core has such work. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

The rcu_do_batch() function that invokes callbacks for TREE_RCU and TREE_PREEMPT_RCU normally throttles callback invocation to avoid degrading scheduling latency. However, as long as the CPU would otherwise be idle, there is no downside to continuing to invoke any callbacks that have passed through their grace periods. In fact, processing such callbacks in a timely manner has the benefit of increasing the probability that the CPU can enter the power-saving dyntick-idle mode. Therefore, this commit allows callback invocation to continue beyond the preset limit as long as the scheduler does not have some other task to run and as long as context is that of the idle task or the relevant RCU kthread.

The current implementation of RCU_FAST_NO_HZ prevents CPUs from entering dyntick-idle state if they have RCU callbacks pending. Unfortunately, this has the side-effect of often preventing them from entering this state, especially if at least one other CPU is not in dyntick-idle state. However, the resulting per-tick wakeup is wasteful in many cases: if the CPU has already fully responded to the current RCU grace period, there will be nothing for it to do until this grace period ends, which will frequently take several jiffies. This commit therefore permits a CPU that has done everything that the current grace period has asked of it (rcu_pending() == 0) even if it still as RCU callbacks pending. However, such a CPU posts a timer to wake it up several jiffies later (6 jiffies, based on experience with grace-period lengths). This wakeup is required to handle situations that can result in all CPUs being in dyntick-idle mode, thus failing to ever complete the current grace period. If a CPU wakes up before the timer goes off, then it cancels that timer, thus avoiding spurious wakeups. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

Assertions in rcu_init_percpu_data() unknowingly relied on outgoing CPUs being turned off before reaching the idle loop. Unfortunately, when running under kvm/qemu on x86, CPUs really can get to idle before begin shut off. These CPUs are then born in dyntick-idle mode from an RCU perspective, which results in splats in rcu_init_percpu_data() and in RCU wrongly ignoring those CPUs despite them being active. This in turn can cause RCU to end grace periods prematurely, potentially freeing up memory that the newly onlined CPUs were still using. This is most decidedly not what we need to see in an RCU implementation. This commit therefore replaces the assertions in rcu_init_percpu_data() with code that forces RCU's dyntick-idle view of newly onlined CPUs to match reality. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

With the new implementation of RCU_FAST_NO_HZ, it was possible to hang RCU grace periods as follows: o CPU 0 attempts to go idle, cycles several times through the rcu_prepare_for_idle() loop, then goes dyntick-idle when RCU needs nothing more from it, while still having at least on RCU callback pending. o CPU 1 goes idle with no callbacks. Both CPUs can then stay in dyntick-idle mode indefinitely, preventing the RCU grace period from ever completing, possibly hanging the system. This commit therefore prevents CPUs that have RCU callbacks from entering dyntick-idle mode. This approach also eliminates the need for the end-of-grace-period IPIs used previously.

If a CPU enters dyntick-idle mode with callbacks pending, it will need an IPI at the end of the grace period. However, if it exits dyntick-idle mode before the grace period ends, it will be needlessly IPIed at the end of the grace period. Therefore, this commit clears the per-CPU rcu_awake_at_gp_end flag when a CPU determines that it does not need it. This in turn requires disabling interrupts across much of rcu_prepare_for_idle() in order to avoid having nested interrupts clearing this state out from under us. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

The earlier version would attempt to push callbacks through five times before going into dyntick-idle mode if callbacks remained, but the CPU had done all that it needed to do for the current RCU grace periods. This is wasteful: In most cases, once the CPU has done all that it needs to for the current RCU grace periods, it will make no further progress on the callbacks no matter how many times it loops through the RCU core processing and the idle-entry code. This commit therefore goes to dyntick-idle mode whenever the current CPU has done all it can for the current grace period. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

Commit 908a3283 (Fix idle_cpu()) invalidated some uses of idle_cpu(), which used to say whether or not the CPU was running the idle task, but now instead says whether or not the CPU is running the idle task in the absence of pending wakeups. Although this new implementation gives a better answer to the question "is this CPU idle?", it also invalidates other uses that were made of idle_cpu(). This commit therefore introduces a new is_idle_task() API member that determines whether or not the specified task is one of the idle tasks, allowing open-coded "->pid == 0" sequences to be replaced by something more meaningful.

The RCU implementations, including SRCU, are designed to be used in a lock-like fashion, so that the read-side lock and unlock primitives must execute in the same context for any given read-side critical section. This constraint is enforced by lockdep-RCU. However, there is a need to enter an SRCU read-side critical section within the context of an exception and then exit in the context of the task that encountered the exception. The cost of this capability is that the read-side operations incur the overhead of disabling interrupts. Note that although the current implementation allows a given read-side critical section to be entered by one task and then exited by another, all known possible implementations that allow this have scalability problems. Therefore, a given read-side critical section must be exited by the same task that entered it, though perhaps from an interrupt or exception handler running within that task's context. But if you are thinking in terms of interrupt handlers, make sure that you have considered the possibility of threaded interrupt handlers. Credit goes to Peter Zijlstra for suggesting use of the existing _raw suffix to indicate disabling lockdep over the earlier "bulkref" names.

The PowerPC pSeries platform (CONFIG_PPC_PSERIES=y) enables hypervisor-call tracing for CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS=y kernels. One of the hypervisor calls that is traced is the H_CEDE call in the idle loop that tells the hypervisor that this OS instance no longer needs the current CPU. However, tracing uses RCU, so this combination of kernel configuration variables needs to avoid telling RCU about the current CPU's idleness until after the H_CEDE-entry tracing completes on the one hand, and must tell RCU that the the current CPU is no longer idle before the H_CEDE-exit tracing starts. In all other cases, it suffices to inform RCU of CPU idleness upon idle-loop entry and exit. This commit makes the required adjustments. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.
