rcu: Merge preemptable-RCU functionality into hierarchical RCU
Create a kernel/rcutree_plugin.h file that contains definitions
for preemptable RCU (or, under the #else branch of the #ifdef,
empty definitions for the classic non-preemptable semantics).
These definitions fit into plugins defined in kernel/rcutree.c
for this purpose.
This variant of preemptable RCU uses a new algorithm whose
read-side expense is roughly that of classic hierarchical RCU
under CONFIG_PREEMPT. This new algorithm's update-side expense
is similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence
of read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic
hierarchical RCU. Perhaps more important, this new algorithm
has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines
of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable
RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new
algorithm.
The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task
nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple
lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block
within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons
learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations
over the past 18 months.

rcu: Make rcu_nocb_poll an early_param instead of module_param
The as-documented rcu_nocb_poll will fail to enable this feature
for two reasons. (1) there is an extra "s" in the documented
name which is not in the code, and (2) since it uses module_param,
it really is expecting a prefix, akin to "rcutree.fanout_leaf"
and the prefix isn't documented.
However, there are several reasons why we might not want to
simply fix the typo and add the prefix:
1) we'd end up with rcutree.rcu_nocb_poll, and rather probably make
a change to rcutree.nocb_poll
2) if we did #1, then the prefix wouldn't be consistent with the
rcu_nocbs=<cpumap> parameter (i.e. one with, one without prefix)
3) the use of module_param in a header file is less than desired,
since it isn't immediately obvious that it will get processed
via rcutree.c and get the prefix from that (although use of
module_param_named() could clarify that.)
4) the implied export of /sys/module/rcutree/parameters/rcu_nocb_poll
data to userspace via module_param() doesn't really buy us anything,
as it is read-only and we can tell if it is enabled already without
it, since there is a printk at early boot telling us so.
In light of all that, just change it from a module_param() to an
early_setup() call, and worry about adding it to /sys later on if
we decide to allow a dynamic setting of it.
Also change the variable to be tagged as read_mostly, since it
will only ever be fiddled with at most, once at boot.

rcu: Compute jiffies_till_sched_qs from other kernel parameters
The jiffies_till_sched_qs value used to determine how old a grace period
must be before RCU enlists the help of the scheduler to force a quiescent
state on the holdout CPU. Currently, this defaults to HZ/10 regardless of
system size and may be set only at boot time. This can be a problem for
very large systems, because if the values of the jiffies_till_first_fqs
and jiffies_till_next_fqs kernel parameters are left at their defaults,
they are calculated to increase as the number of CPUs actually configured
on the system increases. Thus, on a sufficiently large system, RCU would
enlist the help of the scheduler before the grace-period kthread had a
chance to scan for idle CPUs, which wastes CPU time.
This commit therefore allows jiffies_till_sched_qs to be set, if desired,
but if left as default, computes is as jiffies_till_first_fqs plus twice
jiffies_till_next_fqs, thus allowing three force-quiescent-state scans
for idle CPUs. This scales with the number of CPUs, providing sensible
default values.

rcu: Merge preemptable-RCU functionality into hierarchical RCU
Create a kernel/rcutree_plugin.h file that contains definitions
for preemptable RCU (or, under the #else branch of the #ifdef,
empty definitions for the classic non-preemptable semantics).
These definitions fit into plugins defined in kernel/rcutree.c
for this purpose.
This variant of preemptable RCU uses a new algorithm whose
read-side expense is roughly that of classic hierarchical RCU
under CONFIG_PREEMPT. This new algorithm's update-side expense
is similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence
of read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic
hierarchical RCU. Perhaps more important, this new algorithm
has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines
of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable
RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new
algorithm.
The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task
nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple
lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block
within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons
learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations
over the past 18 months.

rcu: refactor RCU's context-switch handling
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.

rcu: Process offlining and onlining only at grace-period start
Races between CPU hotplug and grace periods can be difficult to resolve,
so the ->onoff_mutex is used to exclude the two events. Unfortunately,
this means that it is impossible for an outgoing CPU to perform the
last bits of its offlining from its last pass through the idle loop,
because sleeplocks cannot be acquired in that context.
This commit avoids these problems by buffering online and offline events
in a new ->qsmaskinitnext field in the leaf rcu_node structures. When a
grace period starts, the events accumulated in this mask are applied to
the ->qsmaskinit field, and, if needed, up the rcu_node tree. The special
case of all CPUs corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node structure being
offline while there are still elements in that structure's ->blkd_tasks
list is handled using a new ->wait_blkd_tasks field. In this case,
propagating the offline bits up the tree is deferred until the beginning
of the grace period after all of the tasks have exited their RCU read-side
critical sections and removed themselves from the list, at which point
the ->wait_blkd_tasks flag is cleared. If one of that leaf rcu_node
structure's CPUs comes back online before the list empties, then the
->wait_blkd_tasks flag is simply cleared.
This of course means that RCU's notion of which CPUs are offline can be
out of date. This is OK because RCU need only wait on CPUs that were
online at the time that the grace period started. In addition, RCU's
force-quiescent-state actions will handle the case where a CPU goes
offline after the grace period starts.

rcu: Defer reporting RCU-preempt quiescent states when disabled
This commit defers reporting of RCU-preempt quiescent states at
rcu_read_unlock_special() time when any of interrupts, softirq, or
preemption are disabled. These deferred quiescent states are reported
at a later RCU_SOFTIRQ, context switch, idle entry, or CPU-hotplug
offline operation. Of course, if another RCU read-side critical
section has started in the meantime, the reporting of the quiescent
state will be further deferred.
This also means that disabling preemption, interrupts, and/or
softirqs will act as an RCU-preempt read-side critical section.
This is enforced by checking preempt_count() as needed.
Some special cases must be handled on an ad-hoc basis, for example,
context switch is a quiescent state even though both the scheduler and
do_exit() disable preemption. In these cases, additional calls to
rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() override the preemption disabling. Similar
logic overrides disabled interrupts in rcu_preempt_check_callbacks()
because in this case the quiescent state happened just before the
corresponding scheduling-clock interrupt.
In theory, this change lifts a long-standing restriction that required
that if interrupts were disabled across a call to rcu_read_unlock()
that the matching rcu_read_lock() also be contained within that
interrupts-disabled region of code. Because the reporting of the
corresponding RCU-preempt quiescent state is now deferred until
after interrupts have been enabled, it is no longer possible for this
situation to result in deadlocks involving the scheduler's runqueue and
priority-inheritance locks. This may allow some code simplification that
might reduce interrupt latency a bit. Unfortunately, in practice this
would also defer deboosting a low-priority task that had been subjected
to RCU priority boosting, so real-time-response considerations might
well force this restriction to remain in place.
Because RCU-preempt grace periods are now blocked not only by RCU
read-side critical sections, but also by disabling of interrupts,
preemption, and softirqs, it will be possible to eliminate RCU-bh and
RCU-sched in favor of RCU-preempt in CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels. This may
require some additional plumbing to provide the network denial-of-service
guarantees that have been traditionally provided by RCU-bh. Once these
are in place, CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernels will be able to fold RCU-bh
into RCU-sched. This would mean that all kernels would have but
one flavor of RCU, which would open the door to significant code
cleanup.
Moving to a single flavor of RCU would also have the beneficial effect
of reducing the NOCB kthreads by at least a factor of two.

requeuing is carried out by rcu_preempt_offline_tasks().
However, it is possible that these queued tasks are the only
thing preventing the leaf rcu_node structure from reporting a
quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy. Unfortunately, the
old code would fail to do this reporting, resulting in a
grace-period stall given the following sequence of events:
1. Kernel built for more than 32 CPUs on 32-bit systems or for more
than 64 CPUs on 64-bit systems, so that there is more than one
rcu_node structure. (Or CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT is artificially set
to a number smaller than CONFIG_NR_CPUS.)
2. The kernel is built with CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU.
3. A task running on a CPU associated with a given leaf rcu_node
structure blocks while in an RCU read-side critical section
-and- that CPU has not yet passed through a quiescent state
for the current RCU grace period. This will cause the task
to be queued on the leaf rcu_node's blocked_tasks[] array, in
particular, on the element of this array corresponding to the
current grace period.
4. Each of the remaining CPUs corresponding to this same leaf rcu_node
structure pass through a quiescent state. However, the task is
still in its RCU read-side critical section, so these quiescent
states cannot be reported further up the rcu_node hierarchy.
Nevertheless, all bits in the leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask
field are now zero.
5. Each of the remaining CPUs go offline. (The events in step
#4 and #5 can happen in any order as long as each CPU passes
through a quiescent state before going offline.)
6. When the last CPU goes offline, __rcu_offline_cpu() will invoke
rcu_preempt_offline_tasks(), which will move the task to the
root rcu_node structure, but without reporting a quiescent state
up the rcu_node hierarchy (and this failure to report a quiescent
state is the bug).
But because this leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask field is
already zero and its ->block_tasks[] entries are all empty,
force_quiescent_state() will skip this rcu_node structure.
Therefore, grace periods are now hung.
This patch abstracts some code out of rcu_read_unlock_special(),
calling the result task_quiet() by analogy with cpu_quiet(), and
invokes task_quiet() from both rcu_read_lock_special() and
__rcu_offline_cpu(). Invoking task_quiet() from
__rcu_offline_cpu() reports the quiescent state up the rcu_node
hierarchy, fixing the bug. This ends up requiring a separate
lock_class_key per level of the rcu_node hierarchy, which this
patch also provides.

rcu: Defer reporting RCU-preempt quiescent states when disabled
This commit defers reporting of RCU-preempt quiescent states at
rcu_read_unlock_special() time when any of interrupts, softirq, or
preemption are disabled. These deferred quiescent states are reported
at a later RCU_SOFTIRQ, context switch, idle entry, or CPU-hotplug
offline operation. Of course, if another RCU read-side critical
section has started in the meantime, the reporting of the quiescent
state will be further deferred.
This also means that disabling preemption, interrupts, and/or
softirqs will act as an RCU-preempt read-side critical section.
This is enforced by checking preempt_count() as needed.
Some special cases must be handled on an ad-hoc basis, for example,
context switch is a quiescent state even though both the scheduler and
do_exit() disable preemption. In these cases, additional calls to
rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() override the preemption disabling. Similar
logic overrides disabled interrupts in rcu_preempt_check_callbacks()
because in this case the quiescent state happened just before the
corresponding scheduling-clock interrupt.
In theory, this change lifts a long-standing restriction that required
that if interrupts were disabled across a call to rcu_read_unlock()
that the matching rcu_read_lock() also be contained within that
interrupts-disabled region of code. Because the reporting of the
corresponding RCU-preempt quiescent state is now deferred until
after interrupts have been enabled, it is no longer possible for this
situation to result in deadlocks involving the scheduler's runqueue and
priority-inheritance locks. This may allow some code simplification that
might reduce interrupt latency a bit. Unfortunately, in practice this
would also defer deboosting a low-priority task that had been subjected
to RCU priority boosting, so real-time-response considerations might
well force this restriction to remain in place.
Because RCU-preempt grace periods are now blocked not only by RCU
read-side critical sections, but also by disabling of interrupts,
preemption, and softirqs, it will be possible to eliminate RCU-bh and
RCU-sched in favor of RCU-preempt in CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels. This may
require some additional plumbing to provide the network denial-of-service
guarantees that have been traditionally provided by RCU-bh. Once these
are in place, CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernels will be able to fold RCU-bh
into RCU-sched. This would mean that all kernels would have but
one flavor of RCU, which would open the door to significant code
cleanup.
Moving to a single flavor of RCU would also have the beneficial effect
of reducing the NOCB kthreads by at least a factor of two.

rcu: Do full report for .need_qs for strict GPs
The rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore() function is invoked at
the end of an RCU read-side critical section (for example, directly
from rcu_read_unlock()) and, if .need_qs is set, invokes rcu_qs() to
report the new quiescent state. This works, except that rcu_qs() only
updates per-CPU state, leaving reporting of the actual quiescent state
to a later call to rcu_report_qs_rdp(), for example from within a later
RCU_SOFTIRQ instance. Although this approach is exactly what you want if
you are more concerned about efficiency than about short grace periods,
in CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y kernels, short grace periods are
the name of the game.
This commit therefore makes rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore() directly
invoke rcu_report_qs_rdp() in CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y, thus
shortening grace periods.
Historical note: To the best of my knowledge, causing rcu_read_unlock()
to directly report a quiescent state first appeared in Jim Houston's
and Joe Korty's JRCU. This is the second instance of a Linux-kernel RCU
feature being inspired by JRCU, the first being RCU callback offloading
(as in the RCU_NOCB_CPU Kconfig option).

rcu: Do full report for .need_qs for strict GPs
The rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore() function is invoked at
the end of an RCU read-side critical section (for example, directly
from rcu_read_unlock()) and, if .need_qs is set, invokes rcu_qs() to
report the new quiescent state. This works, except that rcu_qs() only
updates per-CPU state, leaving reporting of the actual quiescent state
to a later call to rcu_report_qs_rdp(), for example from within a later
RCU_SOFTIRQ instance. Although this approach is exactly what you want if
you are more concerned about efficiency than about short grace periods,
in CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y kernels, short grace periods are
the name of the game.
This commit therefore makes rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore() directly
invoke rcu_report_qs_rdp() in CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y, thus
shortening grace periods.
Historical note: To the best of my knowledge, causing rcu_read_unlock()
to directly report a quiescent state first appeared in Jim Houston's
and Joe Korty's JRCU. This is the second instance of a Linux-kernel RCU
feature being inspired by JRCU, the first being RCU callback offloading
(as in the RCU_NOCB_CPU Kconfig option).

rcu: Merge preemptable-RCU functionality into hierarchical RCU
Create a kernel/rcutree_plugin.h file that contains definitions
for preemptable RCU (or, under the #else branch of the #ifdef,
empty definitions for the classic non-preemptable semantics).
These definitions fit into plugins defined in kernel/rcutree.c
for this purpose.
This variant of preemptable RCU uses a new algorithm whose
read-side expense is roughly that of classic hierarchical RCU
under CONFIG_PREEMPT. This new algorithm's update-side expense
is similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence
of read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic
hierarchical RCU. Perhaps more important, this new algorithm
has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines
of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable
RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new
algorithm.
The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task
nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple
lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block
within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons
learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations
over the past 18 months.

rcu: Defer reporting RCU-preempt quiescent states when disabled
This commit defers reporting of RCU-preempt quiescent states at
rcu_read_unlock_special() time when any of interrupts, softirq, or
preemption are disabled. These deferred quiescent states are reported
at a later RCU_SOFTIRQ, context switch, idle entry, or CPU-hotplug
offline operation. Of course, if another RCU read-side critical
section has started in the meantime, the reporting of the quiescent
state will be further deferred.
This also means that disabling preemption, interrupts, and/or
softirqs will act as an RCU-preempt read-side critical section.
This is enforced by checking preempt_count() as needed.
Some special cases must be handled on an ad-hoc basis, for example,
context switch is a quiescent state even though both the scheduler and
do_exit() disable preemption. In these cases, additional calls to
rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() override the preemption disabling. Similar
logic overrides disabled interrupts in rcu_preempt_check_callbacks()
because in this case the quiescent state happened just before the
corresponding scheduling-clock interrupt.
In theory, this change lifts a long-standing restriction that required
that if interrupts were disabled across a call to rcu_read_unlock()
that the matching rcu_read_lock() also be contained within that
interrupts-disabled region of code. Because the reporting of the
corresponding RCU-preempt quiescent state is now deferred until
after interrupts have been enabled, it is no longer possible for this
situation to result in deadlocks involving the scheduler's runqueue and
priority-inheritance locks. This may allow some code simplification that
might reduce interrupt latency a bit. Unfortunately, in practice this
would also defer deboosting a low-priority task that had been subjected
to RCU priority boosting, so real-time-response considerations might
well force this restriction to remain in place.
Because RCU-preempt grace periods are now blocked not only by RCU
read-side critical sections, but also by disabling of interrupts,
preemption, and softirqs, it will be possible to eliminate RCU-bh and
RCU-sched in favor of RCU-preempt in CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels. This may
require some additional plumbing to provide the network denial-of-service
guarantees that have been traditionally provided by RCU-bh. Once these
are in place, CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernels will be able to fold RCU-bh
into RCU-sched. This would mean that all kernels would have but
one flavor of RCU, which would open the door to significant code
cleanup.
Moving to a single flavor of RCU would also have the beneficial effect
of reducing the NOCB kthreads by at least a factor of two.

rcu: Fix grace-period-stall bug on large systems with CPU hotplug
When the last CPU of a given leaf rcu_node structure goes
offline, all of the tasks queued on that leaf rcu_node structure
(due to having blocked in their current RCU read-side critical
sections) are requeued onto the root rcu_node structure. This
requeuing is carried out by rcu_preempt_offline_tasks().
However, it is possible that these queued tasks are the only
thing preventing the leaf rcu_node structure from reporting a
quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy. Unfortunately, the
old code would fail to do this reporting, resulting in a
grace-period stall given the following sequence of events:
1. Kernel built for more than 32 CPUs on 32-bit systems or for more
than 64 CPUs on 64-bit systems, so that there is more than one
rcu_node structure. (Or CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT is artificially set
to a number smaller than CONFIG_NR_CPUS.)
2. The kernel is built with CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU.
3. A task running on a CPU associated with a given leaf rcu_node
structure blocks while in an RCU read-side critical section
-and- that CPU has not yet passed through a quiescent state
for the current RCU grace period. This will cause the task
to be queued on the leaf rcu_node's blocked_tasks[] array, in
particular, on the element of this array corresponding to the
current grace period.
4. Each of the remaining CPUs corresponding to this same leaf rcu_node
structure pass through a quiescent state. However, the task is
still in its RCU read-side critical section, so these quiescent
states cannot be reported further up the rcu_node hierarchy.
Nevertheless, all bits in the leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask
field are now zero.
5. Each of the remaining CPUs go offline. (The events in step
#4 and #5 can happen in any order as long as each CPU passes
through a quiescent state before going offline.)
6. When the last CPU goes offline, __rcu_offline_cpu() will invoke
rcu_preempt_offline_tasks(), which will move the task to the
root rcu_node structure, but without reporting a quiescent state
up the rcu_node hierarchy (and this failure to report a quiescent
state is the bug).
But because this leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask field is
already zero and its ->block_tasks[] entries are all empty,
force_quiescent_state() will skip this rcu_node structure.
Therefore, grace periods are now hung.
This patch abstracts some code out of rcu_read_unlock_special(),
calling the result task_quiet() by analogy with cpu_quiet(), and
invokes task_quiet() from both rcu_read_lock_special() and
__rcu_offline_cpu(). Invoking task_quiet() from
__rcu_offline_cpu() reports the quiescent state up the rcu_node
hierarchy, fixing the bug. This ends up requiring a separate
lock_class_key per level of the rcu_node hierarchy, which this
patch also provides.

for preemptable RCU (or, under the #else branch of the #ifdef,
empty definitions for the classic non-preemptable semantics).
These definitions fit into plugins defined in kernel/rcutree.c
for this purpose.
This variant of preemptable RCU uses a new algorithm whose
read-side expense is roughly that of classic hierarchical RCU
under CONFIG_PREEMPT. This new algorithm's update-side expense
is similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence
of read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic
hierarchical RCU. Perhaps more important, this new algorithm
has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines
of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable
RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new
algorithm.
The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task
nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple
lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block
within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons
learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations
over the past 18 months.

rcu: Defer reporting RCU-preempt quiescent states when disabled
This commit defers reporting of RCU-preempt quiescent states at
rcu_read_unlock_special() time when any of interrupts, softirq, or
preemption are disabled. These deferred quiescent states are reported
at a later RCU_SOFTIRQ, context switch, idle entry, or CPU-hotplug
offline operation. Of course, if another RCU read-side critical
section has started in the meantime, the reporting of the quiescent
state will be further deferred.
This also means that disabling preemption, interrupts, and/or
softirqs will act as an RCU-preempt read-side critical section.
This is enforced by checking preempt_count() as needed.
Some special cases must be handled on an ad-hoc basis, for example,
context switch is a quiescent state even though both the scheduler and
do_exit() disable preemption. In these cases, additional calls to
rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() override the preemption disabling. Similar
logic overrides disabled interrupts in rcu_preempt_check_callbacks()
because in this case the quiescent state happened just before the
corresponding scheduling-clock interrupt.
In theory, this change lifts a long-standing restriction that required
that if interrupts were disabled across a call to rcu_read_unlock()
that the matching rcu_read_lock() also be contained within that
interrupts-disabled region of code. Because the reporting of the
corresponding RCU-preempt quiescent state is now deferred until
after interrupts have been enabled, it is no longer possible for this
situation to result in deadlocks involving the scheduler's runqueue and
priority-inheritance locks. This may allow some code simplification that
might reduce interrupt latency a bit. Unfortunately, in practice this
would also defer deboosting a low-priority task that had been subjected
to RCU priority boosting, so real-time-response considerations might
well force this restriction to remain in place.
Because RCU-preempt grace periods are now blocked not only by RCU
read-side critical sections, but also by disabling of interrupts,
preemption, and softirqs, it will be possible to eliminate RCU-bh and
RCU-sched in favor of RCU-preempt in CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels. This may
require some additional plumbing to provide the network denial-of-service
guarantees that have been traditionally provided by RCU-bh. Once these
are in place, CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernels will be able to fold RCU-bh
into RCU-sched. This would mean that all kernels would have but
one flavor of RCU, which would open the door to significant code
cleanup.
Moving to a single flavor of RCU would also have the beneficial effect
of reducing the NOCB kthreads by at least a factor of two.

rcu: Speed up expedited GPs when interrupting RCU reader
In PREEMPT kernels, an expedited grace period might send an IPI to a
CPU that is executing an RCU read-side critical section. In that case,
it would be nice if the rcu_read_unlock() directly interacted with the
RCU core code to immediately report the quiescent state. And this does
happen in the case where the reader has been preempted. But it would
also be a nice performance optimization if immediate reporting also
happened in the preemption-free case.
This commit therefore adds an ->exp_hint field to the task_struct structure's
->rcu_read_unlock_special field. The IPI handler sets this hint when
it has interrupted an RCU read-side critical section, and this causes
the outermost rcu_read_unlock() call to invoke rcu_read_unlock_special(),
which, if preemption is enabled, reports the quiescent state immediately.
If preemption is disabled, then the report is required to be deferred
until preemption (or bottom halves or interrupts or whatever) is re-enabled.
Because this is a hint, it does nothing for more complicated cases. For
example, if the IPI interrupts an RCU reader, but interrupts are disabled
across the rcu_read_unlock(), but another rcu_read_lock() is executed
before interrupts are re-enabled, the hint will already have been cleared.
If you do crazy things like this, reporting will be deferred until some
later RCU_SOFTIRQ handler, context switch, cond_resched(), or similar.

rcu: Check for wakeup-safe conditions in rcu_read_unlock_special()
When RCU core processing is offloaded from RCU_SOFTIRQ to the rcuc
kthreads, a full and unconditional wakeup is required to initiate RCU
core processing. In contrast, when RCU core processing is carried
out by RCU_SOFTIRQ, a raise_softirq() suffices. Of course, there are
situations where raise_softirq() does a full wakeup, but these do not
occur with normal usage of rcu_read_unlock().
The reason that full wakeups can be problematic is that the scheduler
sometimes invokes rcu_read_unlock() with its pi or rq locks held,
which can of course result in deadlock in CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels when
rcu_read_unlock() invokes the scheduler. Scheduler invocations can happen
in the following situations: (1) The just-ended reader has been subjected
to RCU priority boosting, in which case rcu_read_unlock() must deboost,
(2) Interrupts were disabled across the call to rcu_read_unlock(), so
the quiescent state must be deferred, requiring a wakeup of the rcuc
kthread corresponding to the current CPU.
Now, the scheduler may hold one of its locks across rcu_read_unlock()
only if preemption has been disabled across the entire RCU read-side
critical section, which in the days prior to RCU flavor consolidation
meant that rcu_read_unlock() never needed to do wakeups. However, this
is no longer the case for any but the first rcu_read_unlock() following a
condition (e.g., preempted RCU reader) requiring special rcu_read_unlock()
attention. For example, an RCU read-side critical section might be
preempted, but preemption might be disabled across the rcu_read_unlock().
The rcu_read_unlock() must defer the quiescent state, and therefore
leaves the task queued on its leaf rcu_node structure. If a scheduler
interrupt occurs, the scheduler might well invoke rcu_read_unlock() with
one of its locks held. However, the preempted task is still queued, so
rcu_read_unlock() will attempt to defer the quiescent state once more.
When RCU core processing is carried out by RCU_SOFTIRQ, this works just
fine: The raise_softirq() function simply sets a bit in a per-CPU mask
and the RCU core processing will be undertaken upon return from interrupt.
Not so when RCU core processing is carried out by the rcuc kthread: In this
case, the required wakeup can result in deadlock.
The initial solution to this problem was to use set_tsk_need_resched() and
set_preempt_need_resched() to force a future context switch, which allows
rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() to report the deferred quiescent state
to RCU's core processing. Unfortunately for expedited grace periods,
there can be a significant delay between the call for a context switch
and the actual context switch.
This commit therefore introduces a ->deferred_qs flag to the task_struct
structure's rcu_special structure. This flag is initially false, and
is set to true by the first call to rcu_read_unlock() requiring special
attention, then finally reset back to false when the quiescent state is
finally reported. Then rcu_read_unlock() attempts full wakeups only when
->deferred_qs is false, that is, on the first rcu_read_unlock() requiring
special attention. Note that a chain of RCU readers linked by some other
sort of reader may find that a later rcu_read_unlock() is once again able
to do a full wakeup, courtesy of an intervening preemption:
rcu_read_lock();
/* preempted */
local_irq_disable();
rcu_read_unlock(); /* Can do full wakeup, sets ->deferred_qs. */
rcu_read_lock();
local_irq_enable();
preempt_disable()
rcu_read_unlock(); /* Cannot do full wakeup, ->deferred_qs set. */
rcu_read_lock();
preempt_enable();
/* preempted, >deferred_qs reset. */
local_irq_disable();
rcu_read_unlock(); /* Can again do full wakeup, sets ->deferred_qs. */
Such linked RCU readers do not yet seem to appear in the Linux kernel, and
it is probably best if they don't. However, RCU needs to handle them, and
some variations on this theme could make even raise_softirq() unsafe due to
the possibility of its doing a full wakeup. This commit therefore also
avoids invoking raise_softirq() when the ->deferred_qs set flag is set.

some variations on this theme could make even raise_softirq() unsafe due to
the possibility of its doing a full wakeup. This commit therefore also
avoids invoking raise_softirq() when the ->deferred_qs set flag is set.

rcu: Speed up expedited GPs when interrupting RCU reader
In PREEMPT kernels, an expedited grace period might send an IPI to a
CPU that is executing an RCU read-side critical section. In that case,
it would be nice if the rcu_read_unlock() directly interacted with the
RCU core code to immediately report the quiescent state. And this does
happen in the case where the reader has been preempted. But it would
also be a nice performance optimization if immediate reporting also
happened in the preemption-free case.
This commit therefore adds an ->exp_hint field to the task_struct structure's
->rcu_read_unlock_special field. The IPI handler sets this hint when
it has interrupted an RCU read-side critical section, and this causes
the outermost rcu_read_unlock() call to invoke rcu_read_unlock_special(),
which, if preemption is enabled, reports the quiescent state immediately.
If preemption is disabled, then the report is required to be deferred
until preemption (or bottom halves or interrupts or whatever) is re-enabled.
Because this is a hint, it does nothing for more complicated cases. For
example, if the IPI interrupts an RCU reader, but interrupts are disabled
across the rcu_read_unlock(), but another rcu_read_lock() is executed
before interrupts are re-enabled, the hint will already have been cleared.
If you do crazy things like this, reporting will be deferred until some
later RCU_SOFTIRQ handler, context switch, cond_resched(), or similar.

rcu: Do not report strict GPs for outgoing CPUs
An outgoing CPU is marked offline in a stop-machine handler and most
of that CPU's services stop at that point, including IRQ work queues.
However, that CPU must take another pass through the scheduler and through
a number of CPU-hotplug notifiers, many of which contain RCU readers.
In the past, these readers were not a problem because the outgoing CPU
has interrupts disabled, so that rcu_read_unlock_special() would not
be invoked, and thus RCU would never attempt to queue IRQ work on the
outgoing CPU.
This changed with the advent of the CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD
Kconfig option, in which rcu_read_unlock_special() is invoked upon exit
from almost all RCU read-side critical sections. Worse yet, because
interrupts are disabled, rcu_read_unlock_special() cannot immediately
report a quiescent state and will therefore attempt to defer this
reporting, for example, by queueing IRQ work. Which fails with a splat
because the CPU is already marked as being offline.
But it turns out that there is no need to report this quiescent state
because rcu_report_dead() will do this job shortly after the outgoing
CPU makes its final dive into the idle loop. This commit therefore
makes rcu_read_unlock_special() refrain from queuing IRQ work onto
outgoing CPUs.

rcu: Defer reporting RCU-preempt quiescent states when disabled
This commit defers reporting of RCU-preempt quiescent states at
rcu_read_unlock_special() time when any of interrupts, softirq, or
preemption are disabled. These deferred quiescent states are reported
at a later RCU_SOFTIRQ, context switch, idle entry, or CPU-hotplug
offline operation. Of course, if another RCU read-side critical
section has started in the meantime, the reporting of the quiescent
state will be further deferred.
This also means that disabling preemption, interrupts, and/or
softirqs will act as an RCU-preempt read-side critical section.
This is enforced by checking preempt_count() as needed.
Some special cases must be handled on an ad-hoc basis, for example,
context switch is a quiescent state even though both the scheduler and
do_exit() disable preemption. In these cases, additional calls to
rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() override the preemption disabling. Similar
logic overrides disabled interrupts in rcu_preempt_check_callbacks()
because in this case the quiescent state happened just before the
corresponding scheduling-clock interrupt.
In theory, this change lifts a long-standing restriction that required
that if interrupts were disabled across a call to rcu_read_unlock()
that the matching rcu_read_lock() also be contained within that
interrupts-disabled region of code. Because the reporting of the
corresponding RCU-preempt quiescent state is now deferred until
after interrupts have been enabled, it is no longer possible for this
situation to result in deadlocks involving the scheduler's runqueue and
priority-inheritance locks. This may allow some code simplification that
might reduce interrupt latency a bit. Unfortunately, in practice this
would also defer deboosting a low-priority task that had been subjected
to RCU priority boosting, so real-time-response considerations might
well force this restriction to remain in place.
Because RCU-preempt grace periods are now blocked not only by RCU
read-side critical sections, but also by disabling of interrupts,
preemption, and softirqs, it will be possible to eliminate RCU-bh and
RCU-sched in favor of RCU-preempt in CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels. This may
require some additional plumbing to provide the network denial-of-service
guarantees that have been traditionally provided by RCU-bh. Once these
are in place, CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernels will be able to fold RCU-bh
into RCU-sched. This would mean that all kernels would have but
one flavor of RCU, which would open the door to significant code
cleanup.
Moving to a single flavor of RCU would also have the beneficial effect
of reducing the NOCB kthreads by at least a factor of two.

rcu: Suppress false-positive splats from mid-init task resume
Consider the following sequence of events in a PREEMPT=y kernel:
1. All CPUs corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node structure are
offline.
2. The first phase of the rcu_gp_init() function's grace-period
initialization runs, and sets that rcu_node structure's
->qsmaskinit to zero, as it should.
3. One of the CPUs corresponding to that rcu_node structure comes
back online. Note that because this CPU came online after the
grace period started, this grace period can safely ignore this
newly onlined CPU.
4. A task running on the newly onlined CPU enters an RCU-preempt
read-side critical section, and is then preempted. Because
the corresponding rcu_node structure's ->qsmask is zero,
rcu_preempt_ctxt_queue() leaves the rcu_node structure's
->gp_tasks field NULL, as it should.
5. The rcu_gp_init() function continues running the second phase of
grace-period initialization. The ->qsmask field of the parent of
the aforementioned leaf rcu_node structure is set to not expect
a quiescent state from the leaf, as is only right and proper.
However, when rcu_gp_init() reaches the leaf, it invokes
rcu_preempt_check_blocked_tasks(), which sees that the leaf's
->blkd_tasks list is non-empty, and therefore sets the leaf's
->gp_tasks field to reference the first task on that list.
6. The grace period ends before the preempted task resumes, which
is perfectly fine, given that this grace period was under no
obligation to wait for that task to exit its late-starting
RCU-preempt read-side critical section. Unfortunately, the
leaf's ->gp_tasks field is non-NULL, so rcu_gp_cleanup() splats.
After all, it appears to rcu_gp_cleanup() that the grace period
failed to wait for a task that was supposed to be blocking that
grace period.
This commit avoids this false-positive splat by adding a check of both
->qsmaskinit and ->wait_blkd_tasks to rcu_preempt_check_blocked_tasks().
If both ->qsmaskinit and ->wait_blkd_tasks are zero, then the task must
have entered its RCU-preempt read-side critical section late (after all,
the CPU that it is running on was not online at that time), which means
that the upper-level rcu_node structure won't be waiting for anything
on the leaf anyway.
If ->wait_blkd_tasks is non-zero, then there is at least one task on
ths rcu_node structure's ->blkd_tasks list whose RCU read-side
critical section predates the current grace period. If ->qsmaskinit
is non-zero, there is at least one CPU that was online at the start
of the current grace period. Thus, if both are zero, there is nothing
to wait for.

rcu: Merge preemptable-RCU functionality into hierarchical RCU
Create a kernel/rcutree_plugin.h file that contains definitions
for preemptable RCU (or, under the #else branch of the #ifdef,
empty definitions for the classic non-preemptable semantics).
These definitions fit into plugins defined in kernel/rcutree.c
for this purpose.
This variant of preemptable RCU uses a new algorithm whose
read-side expense is roughly that of classic hierarchical RCU
under CONFIG_PREEMPT. This new algorithm's update-side expense
is similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence
of read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic
hierarchical RCU. Perhaps more important, this new algorithm
has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines
of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable
RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new
algorithm.
The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task
nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple
lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block
within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons
learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations
over the past 18 months.

rcu: Merge preemptable-RCU functionality into hierarchical RCU
Create a kernel/rcutree_plugin.h file that contains definitions
for preemptable RCU (or, under the #else branch of the #ifdef,
empty definitions for the classic non-preemptable semantics).
These definitions fit into plugins defined in kernel/rcutree.c
for this purpose.
This variant of preemptable RCU uses a new algorithm whose
read-side expense is roughly that of classic hierarchical RCU
under CONFIG_PREEMPT. This new algorithm's update-side expense
is similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence
of read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic
hierarchical RCU. Perhaps more important, this new algorithm
has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines
of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable
RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new
algorithm.
The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task
nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple
lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block
within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons
learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations
over the past 18 months.

rcu: Defer reporting RCU-preempt quiescent states when disabled
This commit defers reporting of RCU-preempt quiescent states at
rcu_read_unlock_special() time when any of interrupts, softirq, or
preemption are disabled. These deferred quiescent states are reported
at a later RCU_SOFTIRQ, context switch, idle entry, or CPU-hotplug
offline operation. Of course, if another RCU read-side critical
section has started in the meantime, the reporting of the quiescent
state will be further deferred.
This also means that disabling preemption, interrupts, and/or
softirqs will act as an RCU-preempt read-side critical section.
This is enforced by checking preempt_count() as needed.
Some special cases must be handled on an ad-hoc basis, for example,
context switch is a quiescent state even though both the scheduler and
do_exit() disable preemption. In these cases, additional calls to
rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() override the preemption disabling. Similar
logic overrides disabled interrupts in rcu_preempt_check_callbacks()
because in this case the quiescent state happened just before the
corresponding scheduling-clock interrupt.
In theory, this change lifts a long-standing restriction that required
that if interrupts were disabled across a call to rcu_read_unlock()
that the matching rcu_read_lock() also be contained within that
interrupts-disabled region of code. Because the reporting of the
corresponding RCU-preempt quiescent state is now deferred until
after interrupts have been enabled, it is no longer possible for this
situation to result in deadlocks involving the scheduler's runqueue and
priority-inheritance locks. This may allow some code simplification that
might reduce interrupt latency a bit. Unfortunately, in practice this
would also defer deboosting a low-priority task that had been subjected
to RCU priority boosting, so real-time-response considerations might
well force this restriction to remain in place.
Because RCU-preempt grace periods are now blocked not only by RCU
read-side critical sections, but also by disabling of interrupts,
preemption, and softirqs, it will be possible to eliminate RCU-bh and
RCU-sched in favor of RCU-preempt in CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels. This may
require some additional plumbing to provide the network denial-of-service
guarantees that have been traditionally provided by RCU-bh. Once these
are in place, CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernels will be able to fold RCU-bh
into RCU-sched. This would mean that all kernels would have but
one flavor of RCU, which would open the door to significant code
cleanup.
Moving to a single flavor of RCU would also have the beneficial effect
of reducing the NOCB kthreads by at least a factor of two.

* Check for a task exiting while in a preemptible - RCU read - side
rcu: Make exit_rcu() handle non-preempted RCU readers
The purpose of exit_rcu() is to handle cases where buggy code causes a
task to exit within an RCU read-side critical section. It currently
does that in the case where said RCU read-side critical section was
preempted at least once, but fails to handle cases where preemption did
not occur. This case needs to be handled because otherwise the final
context switch away from the exiting task will incorrectly behave as if
task exit were instead a preemption of an RCU read-side critical section,
and will therefore queue the exiting task. The exiting task will have
exited, and thus won't ever execute rcu_read_unlock(), which means that
it will remain queued forever, blocking all subsequent grace periods,
and eventually resulting in OOM.
Although this is arguably better than letting grace periods proceed
and having a later rcu_read_unlock() access the now-freed task
structure that once belonged to the exiting tasks, it would obviously
be better to correctly handle this case. This commit therefore sets
->rcu_read_lock_nesting to 1 in that case, so that the subsequence call
to __rcu_read_unlock() causes the exiting task to exit its dangling RCU
read-side critical section.
Note that deferred quiescent states need not be considered. The reason
is that removing the task from the ->blkd_tasks[] list in the call to
rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() handles the per-task component of any deferred
quiescent state, and all other components of any deferred quiescent state
are associated with the CPU, which isn't going anywhere until some later
CPU-hotplug operation, which will report any remaining deferred quiescent
states from within the rcu_report_dead() function.
Note also that negative values of ->rcu_read_lock_nesting need not be
considered. First, these won't show up in exit_rcu() unless there is
a serious bug in RCU, and second, setting ->rcu_read_lock_nesting sets
the state so that the RCU read-side critical section will be exited
normally.
Again, this code has no effect unless there has been some prior bug
that prevents a task from leaving an RCU read-side critical section
before exiting. Furthermore, there have been no reports of the bug
fixed by this commit appearing in production. This commit is therefore
absolutely -not- recommended for backporting to -stable.

rcu: Merge preemptable-RCU functionality into hierarchical RCU
Create a kernel/rcutree_plugin.h file that contains definitions
for preemptable RCU (or, under the #else branch of the #ifdef,
empty definitions for the classic non-preemptable semantics).
These definitions fit into plugins defined in kernel/rcutree.c
for this purpose.
This variant of preemptable RCU uses a new algorithm whose
read-side expense is roughly that of classic hierarchical RCU
under CONFIG_PREEMPT. This new algorithm's update-side expense
is similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence
of read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic
hierarchical RCU. Perhaps more important, this new algorithm
has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines
of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable
RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new
algorithm.
The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task
nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple
lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block
within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons
learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations
over the past 18 months.

rcu: Fix grace-period-stall bug on large systems with CPU hotplug
When the last CPU of a given leaf rcu_node structure goes
offline, all of the tasks queued on that leaf rcu_node structure
(due to having blocked in their current RCU read-side critical
sections) are requeued onto the root rcu_node structure. This
requeuing is carried out by rcu_preempt_offline_tasks().
However, it is possible that these queued tasks are the only
thing preventing the leaf rcu_node structure from reporting a
quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy. Unfortunately, the
old code would fail to do this reporting, resulting in a
grace-period stall given the following sequence of events:
1. Kernel built for more than 32 CPUs on 32-bit systems or for more
than 64 CPUs on 64-bit systems, so that there is more than one
rcu_node structure. (Or CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT is artificially set
to a number smaller than CONFIG_NR_CPUS.)
2. The kernel is built with CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU.
3. A task running on a CPU associated with a given leaf rcu_node
structure blocks while in an RCU read-side critical section
-and- that CPU has not yet passed through a quiescent state
for the current RCU grace period. This will cause the task
to be queued on the leaf rcu_node's blocked_tasks[] array, in
particular, on the element of this array corresponding to the
current grace period.
4. Each of the remaining CPUs corresponding to this same leaf rcu_node
structure pass through a quiescent state. However, the task is
still in its RCU read-side critical section, so these quiescent
states cannot be reported further up the rcu_node hierarchy.
Nevertheless, all bits in the leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask
field are now zero.
5. Each of the remaining CPUs go offline. (The events in step
#4 and #5 can happen in any order as long as each CPU passes
through a quiescent state before going offline.)
6. When the last CPU goes offline, __rcu_offline_cpu() will invoke
rcu_preempt_offline_tasks(), which will move the task to the
root rcu_node structure, but without reporting a quiescent state
up the rcu_node hierarchy (and this failure to report a quiescent
state is the bug).
But because this leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask field is
already zero and its ->block_tasks[] entries are all empty,
force_quiescent_state() will skip this rcu_node structure.
Therefore, grace periods are now hung.
This patch abstracts some code out of rcu_read_unlock_special(),
calling the result task_quiet() by analogy with cpu_quiet(), and
invokes task_quiet() from both rcu_read_lock_special() and
__rcu_offline_cpu(). Invoking task_quiet() from
__rcu_offline_cpu() reports the quiescent state up the rcu_node
hierarchy, fixing the bug. This ends up requiring a separate
lock_class_key per level of the rcu_node hierarchy, which this
patch also provides.

rcu: Defer reporting RCU-preempt quiescent states when disabled
This commit defers reporting of RCU-preempt quiescent states at
rcu_read_unlock_special() time when any of interrupts, softirq, or
preemption are disabled. These deferred quiescent states are reported
at a later RCU_SOFTIRQ, context switch, idle entry, or CPU-hotplug
offline operation. Of course, if another RCU read-side critical
section has started in the meantime, the reporting of the quiescent
state will be further deferred.
This also means that disabling preemption, interrupts, and/or
softirqs will act as an RCU-preempt read-side critical section.
This is enforced by checking preempt_count() as needed.
Some special cases must be handled on an ad-hoc basis, for example,
context switch is a quiescent state even though both the scheduler and
do_exit() disable preemption. In these cases, additional calls to
rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() override the preemption disabling. Similar
logic overrides disabled interrupts in rcu_preempt_check_callbacks()
because in this case the quiescent state happened just before the
corresponding scheduling-clock interrupt.
In theory, this change lifts a long-standing restriction that required
that if interrupts were disabled across a call to rcu_read_unlock()
that the matching rcu_read_lock() also be contained within that
interrupts-disabled region of code. Because the reporting of the
corresponding RCU-preempt quiescent state is now deferred until
after interrupts have been enabled, it is no longer possible for this
situation to result in deadlocks involving the scheduler's runqueue and
priority-inheritance locks. This may allow some code simplification that
might reduce interrupt latency a bit. Unfortunately, in practice this
would also defer deboosting a low-priority task that had been subjected
to RCU priority boosting, so real-time-response considerations might
well force this restriction to remain in place.
Because RCU-preempt grace periods are now blocked not only by RCU
read-side critical sections, but also by disabling of interrupts,
preemption, and softirqs, it will be possible to eliminate RCU-bh and
RCU-sched in favor of RCU-preempt in CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels. This may
require some additional plumbing to provide the network denial-of-service
guarantees that have been traditionally provided by RCU-bh. Once these
are in place, CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernels will be able to fold RCU-bh
into RCU-sched. This would mean that all kernels would have but
one flavor of RCU, which would open the door to significant code
cleanup.
Moving to a single flavor of RCU would also have the beneficial effect
of reducing the NOCB kthreads by at least a factor of two.

rcu: Merge preemptable-RCU functionality into hierarchical RCU
Create a kernel/rcutree_plugin.h file that contains definitions
for preemptable RCU (or, under the #else branch of the #ifdef,
empty definitions for the classic non-preemptable semantics).
These definitions fit into plugins defined in kernel/rcutree.c
for this purpose.
This variant of preemptable RCU uses a new algorithm whose
read-side expense is roughly that of classic hierarchical RCU
under CONFIG_PREEMPT. This new algorithm's update-side expense
is similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence
of read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic
hierarchical RCU. Perhaps more important, this new algorithm
has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines
of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable
RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new
algorithm.
The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task
nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple
lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block
within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons
learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations
over the past 18 months.

rcu: Process offlining and onlining only at grace-period start
Races between CPU hotplug and grace periods can be difficult to resolve,
so the ->onoff_mutex is used to exclude the two events. Unfortunately,
this means that it is impossible for an outgoing CPU to perform the
last bits of its offlining from its last pass through the idle loop,
because sleeplocks cannot be acquired in that context.
This commit avoids these problems by buffering online and offline events
in a new ->qsmaskinitnext field in the leaf rcu_node structures. When a
grace period starts, the events accumulated in this mask are applied to
the ->qsmaskinit field, and, if needed, up the rcu_node tree. The special
case of all CPUs corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node structure being
offline while there are still elements in that structure's ->blkd_tasks
list is handled using a new ->wait_blkd_tasks field. In this case,
propagating the offline bits up the tree is deferred until the beginning
of the grace period after all of the tasks have exited their RCU read-side
critical sections and removed themselves from the list, at which point
the ->wait_blkd_tasks flag is cleared. If one of that leaf rcu_node
structure's CPUs comes back online before the list empties, then the
->wait_blkd_tasks flag is simply cleared.
This of course means that RCU's notion of which CPUs are offline can be
out of date. This is OK because RCU need only wait on CPUs that were
online at the time that the grace period started. In addition, RCU's
force-quiescent-state actions will handle the case where a CPU goes
offline after the grace period starts.

rcu: Process offlining and onlining only at grace-period start
Races between CPU hotplug and grace periods can be difficult to resolve,
so the ->onoff_mutex is used to exclude the two events. Unfortunately,
this means that it is impossible for an outgoing CPU to perform the
last bits of its offlining from its last pass through the idle loop,
because sleeplocks cannot be acquired in that context.
This commit avoids these problems by buffering online and offline events
in a new ->qsmaskinitnext field in the leaf rcu_node structures. When a
grace period starts, the events accumulated in this mask are applied to
the ->qsmaskinit field, and, if needed, up the rcu_node tree. The special
case of all CPUs corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node structure being
offline while there are still elements in that structure's ->blkd_tasks
list is handled using a new ->wait_blkd_tasks field. In this case,
propagating the offline bits up the tree is deferred until the beginning
of the grace period after all of the tasks have exited their RCU read-side
critical sections and removed themselves from the list, at which point
the ->wait_blkd_tasks flag is cleared. If one of that leaf rcu_node
structure's CPUs comes back online before the list empties, then the
->wait_blkd_tasks flag is simply cleared.
This of course means that RCU's notion of which CPUs are offline can be
out of date. This is OK because RCU need only wait on CPUs that were
online at the time that the grace period started. In addition, RCU's
force-quiescent-state actions will handle the case where a CPU goes
offline after the grace period starts.

rcu: Correctly handle sparse possible cpus
In many cases in the RCU tree code, we iterate over the set of cpus for
a leaf node described by rcu_node::grplo and rcu_node::grphi, checking
per-cpu data for each cpu in this range. However, if the set of possible
cpus is sparse, some cpus described in this range are not possible, and
thus no per-cpu region will have been allocated (or initialised) for
them by the generic percpu code.
Erroneous accesses to a per-cpu area for these !possible cpus may fault
or may hit other data depending on the addressed generated when the
erroneous per cpu offset is applied. In practice, both cases have been
observed on arm64 hardware (the former being silent, but detectable with
additional patches).
To avoid issues resulting from this, we must iterate over the set of
*possible* cpus for a given leaf node. This patch add a new helper,
for_each_leaf_node_possible_cpu, to enable this. As iteration is often
intertwined with rcu_node local bitmask manipulation, a new
leaf_node_cpu_bit helper is added to make this simpler and more
consistent. The RCU tree code is made to use both of these where
appropriate.
Without this patch, running reboot at a shell can result in an oops

rcu: Permit dyntick-idle with callbacks pending
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.

rcu: Precompute RCU_FAST_NO_HZ timer offsets
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.

rcu: Make callers awaken grace-period kthread
The rcu_start_gp_advanced() function currently uses irq_work_queue()
to defer wakeups of the RCU grace-period kthread. This deferring
is necessary to avoid RCU-scheduler deadlocks involving the rcu_node
structure's lock, meaning that RCU cannot call any of the scheduler's
wake-up functions while holding one of these locks.
Unfortunately, the second and subsequent calls to irq_work_queue() are
ignored, and the first call will be ignored (aside from queuing the work
item) if the scheduler-clock tick is turned off. This is OK for many
uses, especially those where irq_work_queue() is called from an interrupt
or softirq handler, because in those cases the scheduler-clock-tick state
will be re-evaluated, which will turn the scheduler-clock tick back on.
On the next tick, any deferred work will then be processed.
However, this strategy does not always work for RCU, which can be invoked
at process level from idle CPUs. In this case, the tick might never
be turned back on, indefinitely defering a grace-period start request.
Note that the RCU CPU stall detector cannot see this condition, because
there is no RCU grace period in progress. Therefore, we can (and do!)
see long tens-of-seconds stalls in grace-period handling. In theory,
we could see a full grace-period hang, but rcutorture testing to date
has seen only the tens-of-seconds stalls. Event tracing demonstrates
that irq_work_queue() is being called repeatedly to no effect during
these stalls: The "newreq" event appears repeatedly from a task that is
not one of the grace-period kthreads.
In theory, irq_work_queue() might be fixed to avoid this sort of issue,
but RCU's requirements are unusual and it is quite straightforward to pass
wake-up responsibility up through RCU's call chain, so that the wakeup
happens when the offending locks are released.
This commit therefore makes this change. The rcu_start_gp_advanced(),
rcu_start_future_gp(), rcu_accelerate_cbs(), rcu_advance_cbs(),
__note_gp_changes(), and rcu_start_gp() functions now return a boolean
which indicates when a wake-up is needed. A new rcu_gp_kthread_wake()
does the wakeup when it is necessary and safe to do so: No self-wakes,
no wake-ups if the ->gp_flags field indicates there is no need (as in
someone else did the wake-up before we got around to it), and no wake-ups
before the grace-period kthread has been created.

The rcu_start_gp_advanced() function currently uses irq_work_queue()
to defer wakeups of the RCU grace-period kthread. This deferring
is necessary to avoid RCU-scheduler deadlocks involving the rcu_node
structure's lock, meaning that RCU cannot call any of the scheduler's
wake-up functions while holding one of these locks.
Unfortunately, the second and subsequent calls to irq_work_queue() are
ignored, and the first call will be ignored (aside from queuing the work
item) if the scheduler-clock tick is turned off. This is OK for many
uses, especially those where irq_work_queue() is called from an interrupt
or softirq handler, because in those cases the scheduler-clock-tick state
will be re-evaluated, which will turn the scheduler-clock tick back on.
On the next tick, any deferred work will then be processed.
However, this strategy does not always work for RCU, which can be invoked
at process level from idle CPUs. In this case, the tick might never
be turned back on, indefinitely defering a grace-period start request.
Note that the RCU CPU stall detector cannot see this condition, because
there is no RCU grace period in progress. Therefore, we can (and do!)
see long tens-of-seconds stalls in grace-period handling. In theory,
we could see a full grace-period hang, but rcutorture testing to date
has seen only the tens-of-seconds stalls. Event tracing demonstrates
that irq_work_queue() is being called repeatedly to no effect during
these stalls: The "newreq" event appears repeatedly from a task that is
not one of the grace-period kthreads.
In theory, irq_work_queue() might be fixed to avoid this sort of issue,
but RCU's requirements are unusual and it is quite straightforward to pass
wake-up responsibility up through RCU's call chain, so that the wakeup
happens when the offending locks are released.
This commit therefore makes this change. The rcu_start_gp_advanced(),
rcu_start_future_gp(), rcu_accelerate_cbs(), rcu_advance_cbs(),
__note_gp_changes(), and rcu_start_gp() functions now return a boolean
which indicates when a wake-up is needed. A new rcu_gp_kthread_wake()
does the wakeup when it is necessary and safe to do so: No self-wakes,
no wake-ups if the ->gp_flags field indicates there is no need (as in
someone else did the wake-up before we got around to it), and no wake-ups
before the grace-period kthread has been created.

rcu: Allow rcu_nocbs= to specify all CPUs
Currently, the rcu_nocbs= kernel boot parameter requires that a specific
list of CPUs be specified, and has no way to say "all of them".
As noted by user RavFX in a comment to Phoronix topic 1002538, this
is an inconvenient side effect of the removal of the RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL
Kconfig option. This commit therefore enables the rcu_nocbs= kernel boot
parameter to be given the string "all", as in "rcu_nocbs=all" to specify
that all CPUs on the system are to have their RCU callbacks offloaded.
Another approach would be to make cpulist_parse() check for "all", but
there are uses of cpulist_parse() that do other checking, which could
conflict with an "all". This commit therefore focuses on the specific
use of cpulist_parse() in rcu_nocb_setup().
Just a note to other people who would like changes to Linux-kernel RCU:
If you send your requests to me directly, they might get fixed somewhat
faster. RavFX's comment was posted on January 22, 2018 and I first saw
it on March 5, 2019. And the only reason that I found it -at- -all- was
that I was looking for projects using RCU, and my search engine showed
me that Phoronix comment quite by accident. Your choice, though! ;-)

rcu: Make rcu_nocb_poll an early_param instead of module_param
The as-documented rcu_nocb_poll will fail to enable this feature
for two reasons. (1) there is an extra "s" in the documented
name which is not in the code, and (2) since it uses module_param,
it really is expecting a prefix, akin to "rcutree.fanout_leaf"
and the prefix isn't documented.
However, there are several reasons why we might not want to
simply fix the typo and add the prefix:
1) we'd end up with rcutree.rcu_nocb_poll, and rather probably make
a change to rcutree.nocb_poll
2) if we did #1, then the prefix wouldn't be consistent with the
rcu_nocbs=<cpumap> parameter (i.e. one with, one without prefix)
3) the use of module_param in a header file is less than desired,
since it isn't immediately obvious that it will get processed
via rcutree.c and get the prefix from that (although use of
module_param_named() could clarify that.)
4) the implied export of /sys/module/rcutree/parameters/rcu_nocb_poll
data to userspace via module_param() doesn't really buy us anything,
as it is read-only and we can tell if it is enabled already without
it, since there is a printk at early boot telling us so.
In light of all that, just change it from a module_param() to an
early_setup() call, and worry about adding it to /sys later on if
we decide to allow a dynamic setting of it.
Also change the variable to be tagged as read_mostly, since it
will only ever be fiddled with at most, once at boot.

rcu/nocb: Add bypass callback queueing
Use of the rcu_data structure's segmented ->cblist for no-CBs CPUs
takes advantage of unrelated grace periods, thus reducing the memory
footprint in the face of floods of call_rcu() invocations. However,
the ->cblist field is a more-complex rcu_segcblist structure which must
be protected via locking. Even though there are only three entities
which can acquire this lock (the CPU invoking call_rcu(), the no-CBs
grace-period kthread, and the no-CBs callbacks kthread), the contention
on this lock is excessive under heavy stress.
This commit therefore greatly reduces contention by provisioning
an rcu_cblist structure field named ->nocb_bypass within the
rcu_data structure. Each no-CBs CPU is permitted only a limited
number of enqueues onto the ->cblist per jiffy, controlled by a new
nocb_nobypass_lim_per_jiffy kernel boot parameter that defaults to
about 16 enqueues per millisecond (16 * 1000 / HZ). When that limit is
exceeded, the CPU instead enqueues onto the new ->nocb_bypass.
The ->nocb_bypass is flushed into the ->cblist every jiffy or when
the number of callbacks on ->nocb_bypass exceeds qhimark, whichever
happens first. During call_rcu() floods, this flushing is carried out
by the CPU during the course of its call_rcu() invocations. However,
a CPU could simply stop invoking call_rcu() at any time. The no-CBs
grace-period kthread therefore carries out less-aggressive flushing
(every few jiffies or when the number of callbacks on ->nocb_bypass
exceeds (2 * qhimark), whichever comes first). This means that the
no-CBs grace-period kthread cannot be permitted to do unbounded waits
while there are callbacks on ->nocb_bypass. A ->nocb_bypass_timer is

rcu/nocb: Add bypass callback queueing
Use of the rcu_data structure's segmented ->cblist for no-CBs CPUs
takes advantage of unrelated grace periods, thus reducing the memory
footprint in the face of floods of call_rcu() invocations. However,
the ->cblist field is a more-complex rcu_segcblist structure which must
be protected via locking. Even though there are only three entities
which can acquire this lock (the CPU invoking call_rcu(), the no-CBs
grace-period kthread, and the no-CBs callbacks kthread), the contention
on this lock is excessive under heavy stress.
This commit therefore greatly reduces contention by provisioning
an rcu_cblist structure field named ->nocb_bypass within the
rcu_data structure. Each no-CBs CPU is permitted only a limited
number of enqueues onto the ->cblist per jiffy, controlled by a new
nocb_nobypass_lim_per_jiffy kernel boot parameter that defaults to
about 16 enqueues per millisecond (16 * 1000 / HZ). When that limit is
exceeded, the CPU instead enqueues onto the new ->nocb_bypass.
The ->nocb_bypass is flushed into the ->cblist every jiffy or when
the number of callbacks on ->nocb_bypass exceeds qhimark, whichever
happens first. During call_rcu() floods, this flushing is carried out
by the CPU during the course of its call_rcu() invocations. However,
a CPU could simply stop invoking call_rcu() at any time. The no-CBs
grace-period kthread therefore carries out less-aggressive flushing

rcu: Parallelize and economize NOCB kthread wakeups
An 80-CPU system with a context-switch-heavy workload can require so
many NOCB kthread wakeups that the RCU grace-period kthreads spend several
tens of percent of a CPU just awakening things. This clearly will not
scale well: If you add enough CPUs, the RCU grace-period kthreads would
get behind, increasing grace-period latency.
To avoid this problem, this commit divides the NOCB kthreads into leaders
and followers, where the grace-period kthreads awaken the leaders each of
whom in turn awakens its followers. By default, the number of groups of
kthreads is the square root of the number of CPUs, but this default may
be overridden using the rcutree.rcu_nocb_leader_stride boot parameter.
This reduces the number of wakeups done per grace period by the RCU
grace-period kthread by the square root of the number of CPUs, but of
course by shifting those wakeups to the leaders. In addition, because
the leaders do grace periods on behalf of their respective followers,
the number of wakeups of the followers decreases by up to a factor of two.
Instead of being awakened once when new callbacks arrive and again
at the end of the grace period, the followers are awakened only at
the end of the grace period.
For a numerical example, in a 4096-CPU system, the grace-period kthread
would awaken 64 leaders, each of which would awaken its 63 followers
at the end of the grace period. This compares favorably with the 79
wakeups for the grace-period kthread on an 80-CPU system.

footprint in the face of floods of call_rcu() invocations. However,
the ->cblist field is a more-complex rcu_segcblist structure which must
be protected via locking. Even though there are only three entities
which can acquire this lock (the CPU invoking call_rcu(), the no-CBs
grace-period kthread, and the no-CBs callbacks kthread), the contention
on this lock is excessive under heavy stress.
This commit therefore greatly reduces contention by provisioning
an rcu_cblist structure field named ->nocb_bypass within the
rcu_data structure. Each no-CBs CPU is permitted only a limited
number of enqueues onto the ->cblist per jiffy, controlled by a new
nocb_nobypass_lim_per_jiffy kernel boot parameter that defaults to
about 16 enqueues per millisecond (16 * 1000 / HZ). When that limit is
exceeded, the CPU instead enqueues onto the new ->nocb_bypass.
The ->nocb_bypass is flushed into the ->cblist every jiffy or when
the number of callbacks on ->nocb_bypass exceeds qhimark, whichever
happens first. During call_rcu() floods, this flushing is carried out
by the CPU during the course of its call_rcu() invocations. However,
a CPU could simply stop invoking call_rcu() at any time. The no-CBs
grace-period kthread therefore carries out less-aggressive flushing
(every few jiffies or when the number of callbacks on ->nocb_bypass
exceeds (2 * qhimark), whichever comes first). This means that the
no-CBs grace-period kthread cannot be permitted to do unbounded waits
while there are callbacks on ->nocb_bypass. A ->nocb_bypass_timer is
used to provide the needed wakeups.

rcu: Parallelize and economize NOCB kthread wakeups
An 80-CPU system with a context-switch-heavy workload can require so
many NOCB kthread wakeups that the RCU grace-period kthreads spend several
tens of percent of a CPU just awakening things. This clearly will not
scale well: If you add enough CPUs, the RCU grace-period kthreads would
get behind, increasing grace-period latency.
To avoid this problem, this commit divides the NOCB kthreads into leaders
and followers, where the grace-period kthreads awaken the leaders each of
whom in turn awakens its followers. By default, the number of groups of
kthreads is the square root of the number of CPUs, but this default may
be overridden using the rcutree.rcu_nocb_leader_stride boot parameter.
This reduces the number of wakeups done per grace period by the RCU
grace-period kthread by the square root of the number of CPUs, but of
course by shifting those wakeups to the leaders. In addition, because
the leaders do grace periods on behalf of their respective followers,
the number of wakeups of the followers decreases by up to a factor of two.
Instead of being awakened once when new callbacks arrive and again
at the end of the grace period, the followers are awakened only at
the end of the grace period.
For a numerical example, in a 4096-CPU system, the grace-period kthread
would awaken 64 leaders, each of which would awaken its 63 followers
at the end of the grace period. This compares favorably with the 79
wakeups for the grace-period kthread on an 80-CPU system.

rcu: Make rcu_barrier() understand about missing rcuo kthreads
Commit 35ce7f29a44a (rcu: Create rcuo kthreads only for onlined CPUs)
avoids creating rcuo kthreads for CPUs that never come online. This
fixes a bug in many instances of firmware: Instead of lying about their
age, these systems instead lie about the number of CPUs that they have.
Before commit 35ce7f29a44a, this could result in huge numbers of useless
rcuo kthreads being created.
It appears that experience indicates that I should have told the
people suffering from this problem to fix their broken firmware, but
I instead produced what turned out to be a partial fix. The missing
piece supplied by this commit makes sure that rcu_barrier() knows not to
post callbacks for no-CBs CPUs that have not yet come online, because
otherwise rcu_barrier() will hang on systems having firmware that lies
about the number of CPUs.
It is tempting to simply have rcu_barrier() refuse to post a callback on
any no-CBs CPU that does not have an rcuo kthread. This unfortunately
does not work because rcu_barrier() is required to wait for all pending
callbacks. It is therefore required to wait even for those callbacks
that cannot possibly be invoked. Even if doing so hangs the system.
Given that posting a callback to a no-CBs CPU that does not yet have an
rcuo kthread can hang rcu_barrier(), It is tempting to report an error
in this case. Unfortunately, this will result in false positives at
boot time, when it is perfectly legal to post callbacks to the boot CPU
before the scheduler has started, in other words, before it is legal
to invoke rcu_barrier().
So this commit instead has rcu_barrier() avoid posting callbacks to
CPUs having neither rcuo kthread nor pending callbacks, and has it
complain bitterly if it finds CPUs having no rcuo kthread but some
pending callbacks. And when rcu_barrier() does find CPUs having no rcuo
kthread but pending callbacks, as noted earlier, it has no choice but
to hang indefinitely.

This commit therefore greatly reduces contention by provisioning
an rcu_cblist structure field named ->nocb_bypass within the

nocb_nobypass_lim_per_jiffy kernel boot parameter that defaults to
about 16 enqueues per millisecond (16 * 1000 / HZ). When that limit is
exceeded, the CPU instead enqueues onto the new ->nocb_bypass.
The ->nocb_bypass is flushed into the ->cblist every jiffy or when
the number of callbacks on ->nocb_bypass exceeds qhimark, whichever
happens first. During call_rcu() floods, this flushing is carried out

used to provide the needed wakeups.

rcu/nocb: Provide separate no-CBs grace-period kthreads
Currently, there is one no-CBs rcuo kthread per CPU, and these kthreads
are divided into groups. The first rcuo kthread to come online in a
given group is that group's leader, and the leader both waits for grace
periods and invokes its CPU's callbacks. The non-leader rcuo kthreads
only invoke callbacks.
This works well in the real-time/embedded environments for which it was
intended because such environments tend not to generate all that many
callbacks. However, given huge floods of callbacks, it is possible for
the leader kthread to be stuck invoking callbacks while its followers
wait helplessly while their callbacks pile up. This is a good recipe
for an OOM, and rcutorture's new callback-flood capability does generate
such OOMs.
One strategy would be to wait until such OOMs start happening in
production, but similar OOMs have in fact happened starting in 2018.
It would therefore be wise to take a more proactive approach.
This commit therefore features per-CPU rcuo kthreads that do nothing
but invoke callbacks. Instead of having one of these kthreads act as
leader, each group has a separate rcog kthread that handles grace periods
for its group. Because these rcuog kthreads do not invoke callbacks,
callback floods on one CPU no longer block callbacks from reaching the
rcuc callback-invocation kthreads on other CPUs.
This change does introduce additional kthreads, however:
1. The number of additional kthreads is about the square root of
the number of CPUs, so that a 4096-CPU system would have only
about 64 additional kthreads. Note that recent changes
decreased the number of rcuo kthreads by a factor of two
(CONFIG_PREEMPT=n) or even three (CONFIG_PREEMPT=y), so
this still represents a significant improvement on most systems.
2. The leading "rcuo" of the rcuog kthreads should allow existing
scripting to affinity these additional kthreads as needed, the
same as for the rcuop and rcuos kthreads. (There are no longer
any rcuob kthreads.)
3. A state-machine approach was considered and rejected. Although
this would allow the rcuo kthreads to continue their dual
leader/follower roles, it complicates callback invocation
and makes it more difficult to consolidate rcuo callback
invocation with existing softirq callback invocation.
The introduction of rcuog kthreads should thus be acceptable.

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".

rcu: Parallelize and economize NOCB kthread wakeups
An 80-CPU system with a context-switch-heavy workload can require so
many NOCB kthread wakeups that the RCU grace-period kthreads spend several
tens of percent of a CPU just awakening things. This clearly will not
scale well: If you add enough CPUs, the RCU grace-period kthreads would
get behind, increasing grace-period latency.
To avoid this problem, this commit divides the NOCB kthreads into leaders
and followers, where the grace-period kthreads awaken the leaders each of
whom in turn awakens its followers. By default, the number of groups of
kthreads is the square root of the number of CPUs, but this default may
be overridden using the rcutree.rcu_nocb_leader_stride boot parameter.
This reduces the number of wakeups done per grace period by the RCU
grace-period kthread by the square root of the number of CPUs, but of
course by shifting those wakeups to the leaders. In addition, because
the leaders do grace periods on behalf of their respective followers,
the number of wakeups of the followers decreases by up to a factor of two.
Instead of being awakened once when new callbacks arrive and again
at the end of the grace period, the followers are awakened only at
the end of the grace period.
For a numerical example, in a 4096-CPU system, the grace-period kthread
would awaken 64 leaders, each of which would awaken its 63 followers
at the end of the grace period. This compares favorably with the 79
wakeups for the grace-period kthread on an 80-CPU system.

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".

rcu: Parallelize and economize NOCB kthread wakeups
An 80-CPU system with a context-switch-heavy workload can require so
many NOCB kthread wakeups that the RCU grace-period kthreads spend several
tens of percent of a CPU just awakening things. This clearly will not
scale well: If you add enough CPUs, the RCU grace-period kthreads would
get behind, increasing grace-period latency.
To avoid this problem, this commit divides the NOCB kthreads into leaders
and followers, where the grace-period kthreads awaken the leaders each of
whom in turn awakens its followers. By default, the number of groups of
kthreads is the square root of the number of CPUs, but this default may
be overridden using the rcutree.rcu_nocb_leader_stride boot parameter.
This reduces the number of wakeups done per grace period by the RCU
grace-period kthread by the square root of the number of CPUs, but of
course by shifting those wakeups to the leaders. In addition, because
the leaders do grace periods on behalf of their respective followers,
the number of wakeups of the followers decreases by up to a factor of two.
Instead of being awakened once when new callbacks arrive and again
at the end of the grace period, the followers are awakened only at
the end of the grace period.
For a numerical example, in a 4096-CPU system, the grace-period kthread
would awaken 64 leaders, each of which would awaken its 63 followers
at the end of the grace period. This compares favorably with the 79
wakeups for the grace-period kthread on an 80-CPU system.

rcu/nocb: Add bypass callback queueing
Use of the rcu_data structure's segmented ->cblist for no-CBs CPUs
takes advantage of unrelated grace periods, thus reducing the memory
footprint in the face of floods of call_rcu() invocations. However,
the ->cblist field is a more-complex rcu_segcblist structure which must
be protected via locking. Even though there are only three entities
which can acquire this lock (the CPU invoking call_rcu(), the no-CBs
grace-period kthread, and the no-CBs callbacks kthread), the contention
on this lock is excessive under heavy stress.
This commit therefore greatly reduces contention by provisioning
an rcu_cblist structure field named ->nocb_bypass within the
rcu_data structure. Each no-CBs CPU is permitted only a limited
number of enqueues onto the ->cblist per jiffy, controlled by a new
nocb_nobypass_lim_per_jiffy kernel boot parameter that defaults to
about 16 enqueues per millisecond (16 * 1000 / HZ). When that limit is
exceeded, the CPU instead enqueues onto the new ->nocb_bypass.
The ->nocb_bypass is flushed into the ->cblist every jiffy or when
the number of callbacks on ->nocb_bypass exceeds qhimark, whichever
happens first. During call_rcu() floods, this flushing is carried out
by the CPU during the course of its call_rcu() invocations. However,
a CPU could simply stop invoking call_rcu() at any time. The no-CBs
grace-period kthread therefore carries out less-aggressive flushing
(every few jiffies or when the number of callbacks on ->nocb_bypass
exceeds (2 * qhimark), whichever comes first). This means that the
no-CBs grace-period kthread cannot be permitted to do unbounded waits
while there are callbacks on ->nocb_bypass. A ->nocb_bypass_timer is
used to provide the needed wakeups.

rcu/nocb: Provide separate no-CBs grace-period kthreads
Currently, there is one no-CBs rcuo kthread per CPU, and these kthreads
are divided into groups. The first rcuo kthread to come online in a
given group is that group's leader, and the leader both waits for grace
periods and invokes its CPU's callbacks. The non-leader rcuo kthreads
only invoke callbacks.
This works well in the real-time/embedded environments for which it was
intended because such environments tend not to generate all that many
callbacks. However, given huge floods of callbacks, it is possible for
the leader kthread to be stuck invoking callbacks while its followers
wait helplessly while their callbacks pile up. This is a good recipe
for an OOM, and rcutorture's new callback-flood capability does generate
such OOMs.
One strategy would be to wait until such OOMs start happening in
production, but similar OOMs have in fact happened starting in 2018.
It would therefore be wise to take a more proactive approach.
This commit therefore features per-CPU rcuo kthreads that do nothing
but invoke callbacks. Instead of having one of these kthreads act as
leader, each group has a separate rcog kthread that handles grace periods
for its group. Because these rcuog kthreads do not invoke callbacks,
callback floods on one CPU no longer block callbacks from reaching the
rcuc callback-invocation kthreads on other CPUs.
This change does introduce additional kthreads, however:
1. The number of additional kthreads is about the square root of
the number of CPUs, so that a 4096-CPU system would have only
about 64 additional kthreads. Note that recent changes
decreased the number of rcuo kthreads by a factor of two
(CONFIG_PREEMPT=n) or even three (CONFIG_PREEMPT=y), so
this still represents a significant improvement on most systems.
2. The leading "rcuo" of the rcuog kthreads should allow existing
scripting to affinity these additional kthreads as needed, the
same as for the rcuop and rcuos kthreads. (There are no longer
any rcuob kthreads.)
3. A state-machine approach was considered and rejected. Although
this would allow the rcuo kthreads to continue their dual
leader/follower roles, it complicates callback invocation
and makes it more difficult to consolidate rcuo callback
invocation with existing softirq callback invocation.
The introduction of rcuog kthreads should thus be acceptable.

no-CBs grace-period kthread cannot be permitted to do unbounded waits
while there are callbacks on ->nocb_bypass. A ->nocb_bypass_timer is
used to provide the needed wakeups.

rcu: Parallelize and economize NOCB kthread wakeups
An 80-CPU system with a context-switch-heavy workload can require so
many NOCB kthread wakeups that the RCU grace-period kthreads spend several
tens of percent of a CPU just awakening things. This clearly will not
scale well: If you add enough CPUs, the RCU grace-period kthreads would
get behind, increasing grace-period latency.
To avoid this problem, this commit divides the NOCB kthreads into leaders
and followers, where the grace-period kthreads awaken the leaders each of
whom in turn awakens its followers. By default, the number of groups of
kthreads is the square root of the number of CPUs, but this default may
be overridden using the rcutree.rcu_nocb_leader_stride boot parameter.
This reduces the number of wakeups done per grace period by the RCU
grace-period kthread by the square root of the number of CPUs, but of
course by shifting those wakeups to the leaders. In addition, because
the leaders do grace periods on behalf of their respective followers,
the number of wakeups of the followers decreases by up to a factor of two.
Instead of being awakened once when new callbacks arrive and again
at the end of the grace period, the followers are awakened only at
the end of the grace period.
For a numerical example, in a 4096-CPU system, the grace-period kthread
would awaken 64 leaders, each of which would awaken its 63 followers
at the end of the grace period. This compares favorably with the 79
wakeups for the grace-period kthread on an 80-CPU system.

rcu/nocb: Add bypass callback queueing
Use of the rcu_data structure's segmented ->cblist for no-CBs CPUs
takes advantage of unrelated grace periods, thus reducing the memory
footprint in the face of floods of call_rcu() invocations. However,
the ->cblist field is a more-complex rcu_segcblist structure which must
be protected via locking. Even though there are only three entities
which can acquire this lock (the CPU invoking call_rcu(), the no-CBs
grace-period kthread, and the no-CBs callbacks kthread), the contention
on this lock is excessive under heavy stress.
This commit therefore greatly reduces contention by provisioning
an rcu_cblist structure field named ->nocb_bypass within the
rcu_data structure. Each no-CBs CPU is permitted only a limited
number of enqueues onto the ->cblist per jiffy, controlled by a new
nocb_nobypass_lim_per_jiffy kernel boot parameter that defaults to
about 16 enqueues per millisecond (16 * 1000 / HZ). When that limit is
exceeded, the CPU instead enqueues onto the new ->nocb_bypass.
The ->nocb_bypass is flushed into the ->cblist every jiffy or when
the number of callbacks on ->nocb_bypass exceeds qhimark, whichever
happens first. During call_rcu() floods, this flushing is carried out
by the CPU during the course of its call_rcu() invocations. However,

rcu/nocb: Provide separate no-CBs grace-period kthreads
Currently, there is one no-CBs rcuo kthread per CPU, and these kthreads
are divided into groups. The first rcuo kthread to come online in a
given group is that group's leader, and the leader both waits for grace
periods and invokes its CPU's callbacks. The non-leader rcuo kthreads
only invoke callbacks.
This works well in the real-time/embedded environments for which it was
intended because such environments tend not to generate all that many
callbacks. However, given huge floods of callbacks, it is possible for
the leader kthread to be stuck invoking callbacks while its followers
wait helplessly while their callbacks pile up. This is a good recipe
for an OOM, and rcutorture's new callback-flood capability does generate
such OOMs.
One strategy would be to wait until such OOMs start happening in
production, but similar OOMs have in fact happened starting in 2018.
It would therefore be wise to take a more proactive approach.
This commit therefore features per-CPU rcuo kthreads that do nothing
but invoke callbacks. Instead of having one of these kthreads act as
leader, each group has a separate rcog kthread that handles grace periods
for its group. Because these rcuog kthreads do not invoke callbacks,
callback floods on one CPU no longer block callbacks from reaching the
rcuc callback-invocation kthreads on other CPUs.
This change does introduce additional kthreads, however:
1. The number of additional kthreads is about the square root of
the number of CPUs, so that a 4096-CPU system would have only
about 64 additional kthreads. Note that recent changes
decreased the number of rcuo kthreads by a factor of two
(CONFIG_PREEMPT=n) or even three (CONFIG_PREEMPT=y), so
this still represents a significant improvement on most systems.
2. The leading "rcuo" of the rcuog kthreads should allow existing
scripting to affinity these additional kthreads as needed, the
same as for the rcuop and rcuos kthreads. (There are no longer
any rcuob kthreads.)
3. A state-machine approach was considered and rejected. Although
this would allow the rcuo kthreads to continue their dual
leader/follower roles, it complicates callback invocation
and makes it more difficult to consolidate rcuo callback
invocation with existing softirq callback invocation.
The introduction of rcuog kthreads should thus be acceptable.

rcu: Parallelize and economize NOCB kthread wakeups
An 80-CPU system with a context-switch-heavy workload can require so
many NOCB kthread wakeups that the RCU grace-period kthreads spend several
tens of percent of a CPU just awakening things. This clearly will not
scale well: If you add enough CPUs, the RCU grace-period kthreads would
get behind, increasing grace-period latency.
To avoid this problem, this commit divides the NOCB kthreads into leaders
and followers, where the grace-period kthreads awaken the leaders each of
whom in turn awakens its followers. By default, the number of groups of
kthreads is the square root of the number of CPUs, but this default may
be overridden using the rcutree.rcu_nocb_leader_stride boot parameter.
This reduces the number of wakeups done per grace period by the RCU
grace-period kthread by the square root of the number of CPUs, but of
course by shifting those wakeups to the leaders. In addition, because
the leaders do grace periods on behalf of their respective followers,
the number of wakeups of the followers decreases by up to a factor of two.
Instead of being awakened once when new callbacks arrive and again
at the end of the grace period, the followers are awakened only at
the end of the grace period.
For a numerical example, in a 4096-CPU system, the grace-period kthread
would awaken 64 leaders, each of which would awaken its 63 followers
at the end of the grace period. This compares favorably with the 79
wakeups for the grace-period kthread on an 80-CPU system.

rcu/nocb: Add bypass callback queueing
Use of the rcu_data structure's segmented ->cblist for no-CBs CPUs
takes advantage of unrelated grace periods, thus reducing the memory
footprint in the face of floods of call_rcu() invocations. However,
the ->cblist field is a more-complex rcu_segcblist structure which must
be protected via locking. Even though there are only three entities
which can acquire this lock (the CPU invoking call_rcu(), the no-CBs
grace-period kthread, and the no-CBs callbacks kthread), the contention
on this lock is excessive under heavy stress.
This commit therefore greatly reduces contention by provisioning
an rcu_cblist structure field named ->nocb_bypass within the
rcu_data structure. Each no-CBs CPU is permitted only a limited
number of enqueues onto the ->cblist per jiffy, controlled by a new
nocb_nobypass_lim_per_jiffy kernel boot parameter that defaults to
about 16 enqueues per millisecond (16 * 1000 / HZ). When that limit is
exceeded, the CPU instead enqueues onto the new ->nocb_bypass.
The ->nocb_bypass is flushed into the ->cblist every jiffy or when
the number of callbacks on ->nocb_bypass exceeds qhimark, whichever
happens first. During call_rcu() floods, this flushing is carried out
by the CPU during the course of its call_rcu() invocations. However,
a CPU could simply stop invoking call_rcu() at any time. The no-CBs
grace-period kthread therefore carries out less-aggressive flushing
(every few jiffies or when the number of callbacks on ->nocb_bypass
exceeds (2 * qhimark), whichever comes first). This means that the
no-CBs grace-period kthread cannot be permitted to do unbounded waits
while there are callbacks on ->nocb_bypass. A ->nocb_bypass_timer is
used to provide the needed wakeups.

rcu/nocb: Provide separate no-CBs grace-period kthreads
Currently, there is one no-CBs rcuo kthread per CPU, and these kthreads
are divided into groups. The first rcuo kthread to come online in a
given group is that group's leader, and the leader both waits for grace
periods and invokes its CPU's callbacks. The non-leader rcuo kthreads
only invoke callbacks.
This works well in the real-time/embedded environments for which it was
intended because such environments tend not to generate all that many
callbacks. However, given huge floods of callbacks, it is possible for
the leader kthread to be stuck invoking callbacks while its followers
wait helplessly while their callbacks pile up. This is a good recipe
for an OOM, and rcutorture's new callback-flood capability does generate
such OOMs.
One strategy would be to wait until such OOMs start happening in
production, but similar OOMs have in fact happened starting in 2018.
It would therefore be wise to take a more proactive approach.
This commit therefore features per-CPU rcuo kthreads that do nothing
but invoke callbacks. Instead of having one of these kthreads act as
leader, each group has a separate rcog kthread that handles grace periods
for its group. Because these rcuog kthreads do not invoke callbacks,
callback floods on one CPU no longer block callbacks from reaching the
rcuc callback-invocation kthreads on other CPUs.
This change does introduce additional kthreads, however:
1. The number of additional kthreads is about the square root of
the number of CPUs, so that a 4096-CPU system would have only
about 64 additional kthreads. Note that recent changes
decreased the number of rcuo kthreads by a factor of two
(CONFIG_PREEMPT=n) or even three (CONFIG_PREEMPT=y), so
this still represents a significant improvement on most systems.
2. The leading "rcuo" of the rcuog kthreads should allow existing
scripting to affinity these additional kthreads as needed, the
same as for the rcuop and rcuos kthreads. (There are no longer
any rcuob kthreads.)
3. A state-machine approach was considered and rejected. Although
this would allow the rcuo kthreads to continue their dual
leader/follower roles, it complicates callback invocation
and makes it more difficult to consolidate rcuo callback
invocation with existing softirq callback invocation.
The introduction of rcuog kthreads should thus be acceptable.

grace-period kthread by the square root of the number of CPUs, but of
course by shifting those wakeups to the leaders. In addition, because
the leaders do grace periods on behalf of their respective followers,
the number of wakeups of the followers decreases by up to a factor of two.
Instead of being awakened once when new callbacks arrive and again
at the end of the grace period, the followers are awakened only at
the end of the grace period.
For a numerical example, in a 4096-CPU system, the grace-period kthread
would awaken 64 leaders, each of which would awaken its 63 followers
at the end of the grace period. This compares favorably with the 79
wakeups for the grace-period kthread on an 80-CPU system.

rcu: Parallelize and economize NOCB kthread wakeups
An 80-CPU system with a context-switch-heavy workload can require so
many NOCB kthread wakeups that the RCU grace-period kthreads spend several
tens of percent of a CPU just awakening things. This clearly will not
scale well: If you add enough CPUs, the RCU grace-period kthreads would
get behind, increasing grace-period latency.
To avoid this problem, this commit divides the NOCB kthreads into leaders
and followers, where the grace-period kthreads awaken the leaders each of
whom in turn awakens its followers. By default, the number of groups of
kthreads is the square root of the number of CPUs, but this default may
be overridden using the rcutree.rcu_nocb_leader_stride boot parameter.
This reduces the number of wakeups done per grace period by the RCU
grace-period kthread by the square root of the number of CPUs, but of

rcu/nocb: Provide separate no-CBs grace-period kthreads
Currently, there is one no-CBs rcuo kthread per CPU, and these kthreads
are divided into groups. The first rcuo kthread to come online in a
given group is that group's leader, and the leader both waits for grace
periods and invokes its CPU's callbacks. The non-leader rcuo kthreads
only invoke callbacks.
This works well in the real-time/embedded environments for which it was
intended because such environments tend not to generate all that many
callbacks. However, given huge floods of callbacks, it is possible for
the leader kthread to be stuck invoking callbacks while its followers
wait helplessly while their callbacks pile up. This is a good recipe
for an OOM, and rcutorture's new callback-flood capability does generate
such OOMs.
One strategy would be to wait until such OOMs start happening in
production, but similar OOMs have in fact happened starting in 2018.
It would therefore be wise to take a more proactive approach.
This commit therefore features per-CPU rcuo kthreads that do nothing
but invoke callbacks. Instead of having one of these kthreads act as
leader, each group has a separate rcog kthread that handles grace periods
for its group. Because these rcuog kthreads do not invoke callbacks,
callback floods on one CPU no longer block callbacks from reaching the
rcuc callback-invocation kthreads on other CPUs.
This change does introduce additional kthreads, however:
1. The number of additional kthreads is about the square root of
the number of CPUs, so that a 4096-CPU system would have only
about 64 additional kthreads. Note that recent changes
decreased the number of rcuo kthreads by a factor of two
(CONFIG_PREEMPT=n) or even three (CONFIG_PREEMPT=y), so
this still represents a significant improvement on most systems.
2. The leading "rcuo" of the rcuog kthreads should allow existing
scripting to affinity these additional kthreads as needed, the
same as for the rcuop and rcuos kthreads. (There are no longer
any rcuob kthreads.)
3. A state-machine approach was considered and rejected. Although
this would allow the rcuo kthreads to continue their dual
leader/follower roles, it complicates callback invocation
and makes it more difficult to consolidate rcuo callback
invocation with existing softirq callback invocation.
The introduction of rcuog kthreads should thus be acceptable.

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".

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".

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".

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".

rcu/nocb: Provide separate no-CBs grace-period kthreads
Currently, there is one no-CBs rcuo kthread per CPU, and these kthreads
are divided into groups. The first rcuo kthread to come online in a
given group is that group's leader, and the leader both waits for grace
periods and invokes its CPU's callbacks. The non-leader rcuo kthreads
only invoke callbacks.
This works well in the real-time/embedded environments for which it was
intended because such environments tend not to generate all that many
callbacks. However, given huge floods of callbacks, it is possible for
the leader kthread to be stuck invoking callbacks while its followers
wait helplessly while their callbacks pile up. This is a good recipe
for an OOM, and rcutorture's new callback-flood capability does generate
such OOMs.
One strategy would be to wait until such OOMs start happening in
production, but similar OOMs have in fact happened starting in 2018.
It would therefore be wise to take a more proactive approach.
This commit therefore features per-CPU rcuo kthreads that do nothing
but invoke callbacks. Instead of having one of these kthreads act as
leader, each group has a separate rcog kthread that handles grace periods
for its group. Because these rcuog kthreads do not invoke callbacks,
callback floods on one CPU no longer block callbacks from reaching the
rcuc callback-invocation kthreads on other CPUs.
This change does introduce additional kthreads, however:
1. The number of additional kthreads is about the square root of
the number of CPUs, so that a 4096-CPU system would have only
about 64 additional kthreads. Note that recent changes
decreased the number of rcuo kthreads by a factor of two
(CONFIG_PREEMPT=n) or even three (CONFIG_PREEMPT=y), so
this still represents a significant improvement on most systems.
2. The leading "rcuo" of the rcuog kthreads should allow existing
scripting to affinity these additional kthreads as needed, the
same as for the rcuop and rcuos kthreads. (There are no longer
any rcuob kthreads.)
3. A state-machine approach was considered and rejected. Although
this would allow the rcuo kthreads to continue their dual
leader/follower roles, it complicates callback invocation
and makes it more difficult to consolidate rcuo callback
invocation with existing softirq callback invocation.
The introduction of rcuog kthreads should thus be acceptable.

rcu/nocb: Add bypass callback queueing
Use of the rcu_data structure's segmented ->cblist for no-CBs CPUs
takes advantage of unrelated grace periods, thus reducing the memory
footprint in the face of floods of call_rcu() invocations. However,
the ->cblist field is a more-complex rcu_segcblist structure which must
be protected via locking. Even though there are only three entities
which can acquire this lock (the CPU invoking call_rcu(), the no-CBs
grace-period kthread, and the no-CBs callbacks kthread), the contention
on this lock is excessive under heavy stress.
This commit therefore greatly reduces contention by provisioning
an rcu_cblist structure field named ->nocb_bypass within the
rcu_data structure. Each no-CBs CPU is permitted only a limited
number of enqueues onto the ->cblist per jiffy, controlled by a new
nocb_nobypass_lim_per_jiffy kernel boot parameter that defaults to
about 16 enqueues per millisecond (16 * 1000 / HZ). When that limit is
exceeded, the CPU instead enqueues onto the new ->nocb_bypass.
The ->nocb_bypass is flushed into the ->cblist every jiffy or when
the number of callbacks on ->nocb_bypass exceeds qhimark, whichever
happens first. During call_rcu() floods, this flushing is carried out
by the CPU during the course of its call_rcu() invocations. However,
a CPU could simply stop invoking call_rcu() at any time. The no-CBs
grace-period kthread therefore carries out less-aggressive flushing
(every few jiffies or when the number of callbacks on ->nocb_bypass
exceeds (2 * qhimark), whichever comes first). This means that the
no-CBs grace-period kthread cannot be permitted to do unbounded waits
while there are callbacks on ->nocb_bypass. A ->nocb_bypass_timer is
used to provide the needed wakeups.

rcu/nocb: Add bypass callback queueing
Use of the rcu_data structure's segmented ->cblist for no-CBs CPUs
takes advantage of unrelated grace periods, thus reducing the memory
footprint in the face of floods of call_rcu() invocations. However,
the ->cblist field is a more-complex rcu_segcblist structure which must
be protected via locking. Even though there are only three entities
which can acquire this lock (the CPU invoking call_rcu(), the no-CBs
grace-period kthread, and the no-CBs callbacks kthread), the contention
on this lock is excessive under heavy stress.
This commit therefore greatly reduces contention by provisioning
an rcu_cblist structure field named ->nocb_bypass within the
rcu_data structure. Each no-CBs CPU is permitted only a limited
number of enqueues onto the ->cblist per jiffy, controlled by a new
nocb_nobypass_lim_per_jiffy kernel boot parameter that defaults to
about 16 enqueues per millisecond (16 * 1000 / HZ). When that limit is
exceeded, the CPU instead enqueues onto the new ->nocb_bypass.
The ->nocb_bypass is flushed into the ->cblist every jiffy or when
the number of callbacks on ->nocb_bypass exceeds qhimark, whichever
happens first. During call_rcu() floods, this flushing is carried out
by the CPU during the course of its call_rcu() invocations. However,
a CPU could simply stop invoking call_rcu() at any time. The no-CBs
grace-period kthread therefore carries out less-aggressive flushing
(every few jiffies or when the number of callbacks on ->nocb_bypass
exceeds (2 * qhimark), whichever comes first). This means that the
no-CBs grace-period kthread cannot be permitted to do unbounded waits
while there are callbacks on ->nocb_bypass. A ->nocb_bypass_timer is
used to provide the needed wakeups.

* If the specified CPU is a no - CBs CPU that does not already have its
rcu/nocb: Provide separate no-CBs grace-period kthreads
Currently, there is one no-CBs rcuo kthread per CPU, and these kthreads
are divided into groups. The first rcuo kthread to come online in a
given group is that group's leader, and the leader both waits for grace
periods and invokes its CPU's callbacks. The non-leader rcuo kthreads
only invoke callbacks.
This works well in the real-time/embedded environments for which it was
intended because such environments tend not to generate all that many
callbacks. However, given huge floods of callbacks, it is possible for
the leader kthread to be stuck invoking callbacks while its followers
wait helplessly while their callbacks pile up. This is a good recipe
for an OOM, and rcutorture's new callback-flood capability does generate
such OOMs.
One strategy would be to wait until such OOMs start happening in
production, but similar OOMs have in fact happened starting in 2018.
It would therefore be wise to take a more proactive approach.
This commit therefore features per-CPU rcuo kthreads that do nothing
but invoke callbacks. Instead of having one of these kthreads act as
leader, each group has a separate rcog kthread that handles grace periods
for its group. Because these rcuog kthreads do not invoke callbacks,
callback floods on one CPU no longer block callbacks from reaching the
rcuc callback-invocation kthreads on other CPUs.
This change does introduce additional kthreads, however:
1. The number of additional kthreads is about the square root of
the number of CPUs, so that a 4096-CPU system would have only
about 64 additional kthreads. Note that recent changes
decreased the number of rcuo kthreads by a factor of two
(CONFIG_PREEMPT=n) or even three (CONFIG_PREEMPT=y), so
this still represents a significant improvement on most systems.
2. The leading "rcuo" of the rcuog kthreads should allow existing
scripting to affinity these additional kthreads as needed, the
same as for the rcuop and rcuos kthreads. (There are no longer
any rcuob kthreads.)
3. A state-machine approach was considered and rejected. Although
this would allow the rcuo kthreads to continue their dual
leader/follower roles, it complicates callback invocation
and makes it more difficult to consolidate rcuo callback
invocation with existing softirq callback invocation.
The introduction of rcuog kthreads should thus be acceptable.

rcu: Parallelize and economize NOCB kthread wakeups
An 80-CPU system with a context-switch-heavy workload can require so
many NOCB kthread wakeups that the RCU grace-period kthreads spend several
tens of percent of a CPU just awakening things. This clearly will not
scale well: If you add enough CPUs, the RCU grace-period kthreads would
get behind, increasing grace-period latency.
To avoid this problem, this commit divides the NOCB kthreads into leaders
and followers, where the grace-period kthreads awaken the leaders each of
whom in turn awakens its followers. By default, the number of groups of
kthreads is the square root of the number of CPUs, but this default may
be overridden using the rcutree.rcu_nocb_leader_stride boot parameter.
This reduces the number of wakeups done per grace period by the RCU
grace-period kthread by the square root of the number of CPUs, but of
course by shifting those wakeups to the leaders. In addition, because
the leaders do grace periods on behalf of their respective followers,
the number of wakeups of the followers decreases by up to a factor of two.
Instead of being awakened once when new callbacks arrive and again
at the end of the grace period, the followers are awakened only at
the end of the grace period.
For a numerical example, in a 4096-CPU system, the grace-period kthread
would awaken 64 leaders, each of which would awaken its 63 followers
at the end of the grace period. This compares favorably with the 79
wakeups for the grace-period kthread on an 80-CPU system.

rcu: Parallelize and economize NOCB kthread wakeups
An 80-CPU system with a context-switch-heavy workload can require so
many NOCB kthread wakeups that the RCU grace-period kthreads spend several
tens of percent of a CPU just awakening things. This clearly will not
scale well: If you add enough CPUs, the RCU grace-period kthreads would
get behind, increasing grace-period latency.
To avoid this problem, this commit divides the NOCB kthreads into leaders
and followers, where the grace-period kthreads awaken the leaders each of
whom in turn awakens its followers. By default, the number of groups of
kthreads is the square root of the number of CPUs, but this default may
be overridden using the rcutree.rcu_nocb_leader_stride boot parameter.
This reduces the number of wakeups done per grace period by the RCU
grace-period kthread by the square root of the number of CPUs, but of
course by shifting those wakeups to the leaders. In addition, because
the leaders do grace periods on behalf of their respective followers,
the number of wakeups of the followers decreases by up to a factor of two.
Instead of being awakened once when new callbacks arrive and again
at the end of the grace period, the followers are awakened only at
the end of the grace period.
For a numerical example, in a 4096-CPU system, the grace-period kthread
would awaken 64 leaders, each of which would awaken its 63 followers
at the end of the grace period. This compares favorably with the 79
wakeups for the grace-period kthread on an 80-CPU system.

avoids creating rcuo kthreads for CPUs that never come online. This
fixes a bug in many instances of firmware: Instead of lying about their
age, these systems instead lie about the number of CPUs that they have.
Before commit 35ce7f29a44a, this could result in huge numbers of useless
rcuo kthreads being created.
It appears that experience indicates that I should have told the
people suffering from this problem to fix their broken firmware, but
I instead produced what turned out to be a partial fix. The missing
piece supplied by this commit makes sure that rcu_barrier() knows not to
post callbacks for no-CBs CPUs that have not yet come online, because
otherwise rcu_barrier() will hang on systems having firmware that lies
about the number of CPUs.
It is tempting to simply have rcu_barrier() refuse to post a callback on
any no-CBs CPU that does not have an rcuo kthread. This unfortunately
does not work because rcu_barrier() is required to wait for all pending
callbacks. It is therefore required to wait even for those callbacks
that cannot possibly be invoked. Even if doing so hangs the system.
Given that posting a callback to a no-CBs CPU that does not yet have an
rcuo kthread can hang rcu_barrier(), It is tempting to report an error
in this case. Unfortunately, this will result in false positives at
boot time, when it is perfectly legal to post callbacks to the boot CPU
before the scheduler has started, in other words, before it is legal
to invoke rcu_barrier().
So this commit instead has rcu_barrier() avoid posting callbacks to
CPUs having neither rcuo kthread nor pending callbacks, and has it
complain bitterly if it finds CPUs having no rcuo kthread but some
pending callbacks. And when rcu_barrier() does find CPUs having no rcuo
kthread but pending callbacks, as noted earlier, it has no choice but
to hang indefinitely.

rcu/nocb: Add bypass callback queueing
Use of the rcu_data structure's segmented ->cblist for no-CBs CPUs
takes advantage of unrelated grace periods, thus reducing the memory
footprint in the face of floods of call_rcu() invocations. However,
the ->cblist field is a more-complex rcu_segcblist structure which must
be protected via locking. Even though there are only three entities
which can acquire this lock (the CPU invoking call_rcu(), the no-CBs
grace-period kthread, and the no-CBs callbacks kthread), the contention
on this lock is excessive under heavy stress.
This commit therefore greatly reduces contention by provisioning
an rcu_cblist structure field named ->nocb_bypass within the
rcu_data structure. Each no-CBs CPU is permitted only a limited
number of enqueues onto the ->cblist per jiffy, controlled by a new
nocb_nobypass_lim_per_jiffy kernel boot parameter that defaults to
about 16 enqueues per millisecond (16 * 1000 / HZ). When that limit is
exceeded, the CPU instead enqueues onto the new ->nocb_bypass.
The ->nocb_bypass is flushed into the ->cblist every jiffy or when
the number of callbacks on ->nocb_bypass exceeds qhimark, whichever
happens first. During call_rcu() floods, this flushing is carried out
by the CPU during the course of its call_rcu() invocations. However,
a CPU could simply stop invoking call_rcu() at any time. The no-CBs
grace-period kthread therefore carries out less-aggressive flushing
(every few jiffies or when the number of callbacks on ->nocb_bypass
exceeds (2 * qhimark), whichever comes first). This means that the
no-CBs grace-period kthread cannot be permitted to do unbounded waits
while there are callbacks on ->nocb_bypass. A ->nocb_bypass_timer is
used to provide the needed wakeups.

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".

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".

rcu-tasks: Avoid IPIing userspace/idle tasks if kernel is so built
Systems running CPU-bound real-time task do not want IPIs sent to CPUs
executing nohz_full userspace tasks. Battery-powered systems don't
want IPIs sent to idle CPUs in low-power mode. Unfortunately, RCU tasks
trace can and will send such IPIs in some cases.
Both of these situations occur only when the target CPU is in RCU
dyntick-idle mode, in other words, when RCU is not watching the
target CPU. This suggests that CPUs in dyntick-idle mode should use
memory barriers in outermost invocations of rcu_read_lock_trace()
and rcu_read_unlock_trace(), which would allow the RCU tasks trace
grace period to directly read out the target CPU's read-side state.
One challenge is that RCU tasks trace is not targeting a specific
CPU, but rather a task. And that task could switch from one CPU to
another at any time.
This commit therefore uses try_invoke_on_locked_down_task()
and checks for task_curr() in trc_inspect_reader_notrunning().
When this condition holds, the target task is running and cannot move.
If CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB=y, the new rcu_dynticks_zero_in_eqs()
function can be used to check if the specified integer (in this case,
t->trc_reader_nesting) is zero while the target CPU remains in that same
dyntick-idle sojourn. If so, the target task is in a quiescent state.
If not, trc_read_check_handler() must indicate failure so that the
grace-period kthread can take appropriate action or retry after an
appropriate delay, as the case may be.
With this change, given CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB=y, if a given
CPU remains idle or a given task continues executing in nohz_full mode,
the RCU tasks trace grace-period kthread will detect this without the
need to send an IPI.
