It is now legal to invoke synchronize_sched() at early boot, which causes Tiny RCU's synchronize_sched() to emit spurious splats.

The __latent_entropy gcc attribute can be used only on functions and variables. If it is on a function then the plugin will instrument it for gathering control-flow entropy. If the attribute is on a variable then the plugin will initialize it with random contents. The variable must be an integer, an integer array type or a structure with integer fields. These specific functions have been selected because they are init functions (to help gather boot-time entropy), are called at unpredictable times, or they have variable loops, each of which provide some level of latent entropy.

As we now have rcu_callback_t typedefs as the type of rcu callbacks, we should use it in call_rcu*() and friends as the type of parameters.

If, at the time __rcu_process_callbacks() is invoked, there are callbacks in Tiny RCU's callback list, but none of them are ready to be invoked, the current list-management code will knit the non-ready callbacks out of the list. This can result in hangs and possibly worse. This commit therefore inserts a check for there being no callbacks that can be invoked immediately. This bug is unlikely to occur -- you have to get a new callback between the time rcu_sched_qs() or rcu_bh_qs() was called, but before we get to __rcu_process_callbacks(). It was detected by the addition of RCU-bh testing to rcutorture, which in turn was instigated by Iftekhar Ahmed's mutation testing. Although this bug was made much more likely by 915e8a4f (rcu: Remove fastpath from __rcu_process_callbacks()), this did not cause the bug, but rather made it much more probable. That said, it takes more than 40 hours of rcutorture testing, on average, for this bug to appear, so this fix cannot be considered an emergency. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

The Tiny RCU counterparts to rcu_idle_enter(), rcu_idle_exit(), rcu_irq_enter(), and rcu_irq_exit() are empty functions, but each has EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(), which needlessly consumes extra memory, especially in kernels built with module support. This commit therefore moves these functions to static inlines in rcutiny.h, removing the need for exports.

For RCU in UP, context-switch = QS = GP, thus we can force a context-switch when any call_rcu_[bh|sched]() is happened on idle_task. After doing so, rcu_idle/irq_enter/exit() are useless, so we can simply make these functions empty. More important, this change does not change the functionality logically. Note: raise_softirq(RCU_SOFTIRQ)/rcu_sched_qs() in rcu_idle_enter() and outmost rcu_irq_exit() will have to wake up the ksoftirqd (due to in_interrupt() == 0).

Let's start assuming that something in the idle loop posts a callback, and scheduling-clock interrupt occurs: 1. The system is idle and stays that way, no runnable tasks. 2. Scheduling-clock interrupt occurs, rcu_check_callbacks() is called as result, which in turn calls rcu_is_cpu_rrupt_from_idle(). 3. rcu_is_cpu_rrupt_from_idle() reports the CPU was interrupted from idle, which results in rcu_sched_qs() call, which does a raise_softirq(RCU_SOFTIRQ). 4. Upon return from interrupt, rcu_irq_exit() is invoked, which calls rcu_idle_enter_common(), which in turn calls rcu_sched_qs() again, which does another raise_softirq(RCU_SOFTIRQ). 5. The softirq happens shortly and invokes rcu_process_callbacks(), which invokes __rcu_process_callbacks(). 6. So now callbacks can be invoked. At least they can be if ->donetail has been updated. Which it will have been because rcu_sched_qs() invokes rcu_qsctr_help(). In the described scenario rcu_sched_qs() and raise_softirq(RCU_SOFTIRQ) get called twice in steps 3 and 4. This redundancy could be eliminated by removing rcu_is_cpu_rrupt_from_idle() function. Signed-off-by: NAlexander Gordeev <agordeev@redhat.com> Cc: Paul E.

This commit adds a new RCU-tasks flavor of RCU, which provides call_rcu_tasks(). This RCU flavor's quiescent states are voluntary context switch (not preemption!) and userspace execution (not the idle loop -- use some sort of schedule_on_each_cpu() if you need to handle the idle tasks. Note that unlike other RCU flavors, these quiescent states occur in tasks, not necessarily CPUs. Includes fixes from Steven Rostedt. This RCU flavor is assumed to have very infrequent latency-tolerant updaters. This assumption permits significant simplifications, including a single global callback list protected by a single global lock, along with a single task-private linked list containing all tasks that have not yet passed through a quiescent state. If experience shows this assumption to be incorrect, the required additional complexity will be added. Suggested-by: NSteven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

There were also some inconsistencies as to whether it was or wasn't sourced based on the parent tracing Kconfig. Rather than "fix" it at each use site, and have inconsistent use based on whether "#ifdef CONFIG_RCU_TRACE" was used or not, lets just source the trace header just once, in the actual consumer of it, which is rcu.h itself. We include it unconditionally, as build testing shows us that is a hard requirement for some files.

All the RCU tracepoints and functions that reference char pointers do so with just 'char *' even though they do not modify the contents of the string itself. This will cause warnings if a const char * is used in one of these functions. The RCU tracepoints store the pointer to the string to refer back to them when the trace output is displayed. As this can be minutes, hours or even days later, those strings had better be constant. This change 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.

TINY_RCU's rcu_idle_enter_common() invokes rcu_sched_qs() in order to inform the RCU core of the quiescent state implied by idle entry. Of course, idle is also an extended quiescent state, so that the call to rcu_sched_qs() speeds up RCU's invoking of any callbacks that might be queued. This speed-up is important when entering into dyntick-idle mode -- if there are no further scheduling-clock interrupts, the callbacks might never be invoked, which could result in a system hang. However, processing callbacks does event tracing, which in turn implies RCU read-side critical sections, which are illegal in extended quiescent states. This patch therefore moves the call to rcu_sched_qs() so that it precedes the point at which we inform lockdep that RCU has entered an extended quiescent state.

Use of RCU in the idle loop is incorrect, quite a few instances of just that have made their way into mainline, primarily event tracing. The problem with RCU read-side critical sections on CPUs that RCU believes to be idle is that RCU is completely ignoring the CPU, along with any attempts and RCU read-side critical sections. The approaches of eliminating the offending uses and of pushing the definition of idle down beyond the offending uses have both proved impractical. The new approach is to encapsulate offending uses of RCU with rcu_idle_exit() and rcu_idle_enter(), but this requires nesting for code that is invoked both during idle and and during normal execution. Therefore, this commit modifies rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit() to permit nesting. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: NPaul E.
