[ Upstream commit f5063e8948 ]
Running the refscale test occasionally crashes the kernel with the
following error:
[ 8569.952896] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffffffffffe8

The likely cause is that init_waitqueue_head() is called after the call to
the torture_create_kthread() function that creates the ref_scale_reader
kthread. Although this init_waitqueue_head() call will very likely
complete before this kthread is created and starts running, it is
possible that the calling kthread will be delayed between the calls to
torture_create_kthread() and init_waitqueue_head(). In this case, the
new kthread will use the waitqueue head before it is properly initialized,
which is not good for the kernel's health and well-being.
The above crash happened here:
static inline void __add_wait_queue(...)
{
:
if (!(wq->flags & WQ_FLAG_PRIORITY)) <=== Crash here
The offset of flags from list_head entry in wait_queue_entry is
-0x18. If reader_tasks[i].wq.head.next is NULL as allocated reader_task
structure is zero initialized, the instruction will try to access address
0xffffffffffffffe8, which is exactly the fault address listed above.
This commit therefore invokes init_waitqueue_head() before creating
the kthread.

[ Upstream commit 6bc6e6b275 ]
The ref_scale_shutdown() kthread/function uses wait_event() to wait for
the refscale test to complete. However, although the read-side tests
are normally extremely fast, there is no law against specifying a very
large value for the refscale.loops module parameter or against having
a slow read-side primitive. Either way, this might well trigger the
hung-task timeout.
This commit therefore replaces those wait_event() calls with calls to
wait_event_idle(), which do not trigger the hung-task timeout.

Currently in the unlikely event that buf fails to be allocated it
is dereferenced a few times. Use the errexit flag to determine if
buf should be written to to avoid the null pointer dereferences.

This commit further avoids conflation of refperf with the kernel's perf
feature by renaming kernel/rcu/refperf.c to kernel/rcu/refscale.c,
and also by similarly renaming the functions and variables inside
this file. This has the side effect of changing the names of the
kernel boot parameters, so kernel-parameters.txt and ver_functions.sh
are also updated.
The rcutorture --torture type remains refperf, and this will be
addressed in a separate commit.
