commit 18f08e758f upstream.
Currently, trc_inspect_reader() treats a task exiting its RCU Tasks
Trace read-side critical section the same as being within that critical
section. However, this can fail because that task might have already
checked its .need_qs field, which means that it might never decrement
the all-important trc_n_readers_need_end counter. Of course, for that
to happen, the task would need to never again execute an RCU Tasks Trace
read-side critical section, but this really could happen if the system's
last trampoline was removed. Note that exit from such a critical section
cannot be treated as a quiescent state due to the possibility of nested
critical sections. This means that if trc_inspect_reader() sees a
negative nesting value, it must set up to try again later.
This commit therefore ignores tasks that are exiting their RCU Tasks
Trace read-side critical sections so that they will be rechecked later.

commit cbe0d8d914 upstream.
Currently, RCU Tasks Trace initializes the trc_n_readers_need_end counter
to the value one, increments it before each trc_read_check_handler()
IPI, then decrements it within trc_read_check_handler() if the target
task was in a quiescent state (or if the target task moved to some other
CPU while the IPI was in flight), complaining if the new value was zero.
The rationale for complaining is that the initial value of one must be
decremented away before zero can be reached, and this decrement has not
yet happened.
Except that trc_read_check_handler() is initiated with an asynchronous
smp_call_function_single(), which might be significantly delayed. This
can result in false-positive complaints about the counter reaching zero.
This commit therefore waits for in-flight IPI handlers to complete before
decrementing away the initial value of one from the trc_n_readers_need_end
counter.

commit 46aa886c48 upstream.
The trc_wait_for_one_reader() function is called at multiple stages
of trace rcu-tasks GP function, rcu_tasks_wait_gp():
- First, it is called as part of per task function -
rcu_tasks_trace_pertask(), for all non-idle tasks. As part of per task
processing, this function add the task in the holdout list and if the
task is currently running on a CPU, it sends IPI to the task's CPU.
The IPI handler takes action depending on whether task is in trace
rcu-tasks read side critical section or not:
- a. If the task is in trace rcu-tasks read side critical section
(t->trc_reader_nesting != 0), the IPI handler sets the task's
->trc_reader_special.b.need_qs, so that this task notifies exit
from its outermost read side critical section (by decrementing
trc_n_readers_need_end) to the GP handling function.
trc_wait_for_one_reader() also increments trc_n_readers_need_end,
so that the trace rcu-tasks GP handler function waits for this
task's read side exit notification. The IPI handler also sets
t->trc_reader_checked to true, and no further IPIs are sent for
this task, for this trace rcu-tasks grace period and this
task can be removed from holdout list.
- b. If the task is in the process of exiting its trace rcu-tasks
read side critical section, (t->trc_reader_nesting < 0), defer
this task's processing to future calls to trc_wait_for_one_reader().
- c. If task is not in rcu-task read side critical section,
t->trc_reader_nesting == 0, ->trc_reader_checked is set for this
task, so that this task is removed from holdout list.
- Second, trc_wait_for_one_reader() is called as part of post scan, in
function rcu_tasks_trace_postscan(), for all idle tasks.
- Third, in function check_all_holdout_tasks_trace(), this function is
called for each task in the holdout list, but only if there isn't
a pending IPI for the task (->trc_ipi_to_cpu == -1). This function
removed the task from holdout list, if IPI handler has completed the
required work, to ensure that the current trace rcu-tasks grace period
either waits for this task, or this task is not in a trace rcu-tasks
read side critical section.
Now, considering the scenario where smp_call_function_single() fails in
first case, inside rcu_tasks_trace_pertask(). In this case,
->trc_ipi_to_cpu is set to the current CPU for that task. This will
result in trc_wait_for_one_reader() getting skipped in third case,
inside check_all_holdout_tasks_trace(), for this task. This further
results in ->trc_reader_checked never getting set for this task,
and the task not getting removed from holdout list. This can cause
the current trace rcu-tasks grace period to stall.
Fix the above problem, by resetting ->trc_ipi_to_cpu to -1, on
smp_call_function_single() failure, so that future IPI calls can
be send for this task.
Note that all three of the trc_wait_for_one_reader() function's
callers (rcu_tasks_trace_pertask(), rcu_tasks_trace_postscan(),
check_all_holdout_tasks_trace()) hold cpu_read_lock(). This means
that smp_call_function_single() cannot race with CPU hotplug, and thus
should never fail. Therefore, also add a warning in order to report
any such failure in case smp_call_function_single() grows some other
reason for failure.

[ Upstream commit 96017bf903 ]
Currently, trc_wait_for_one_reader() atomically increments
the trc_n_readers_need_end counter before sending the IPI
invoking trc_read_check_handler(). All failure paths out of
trc_read_check_handler() and also from the smp_call_function_single()
within trc_wait_for_one_reader() must carefully atomically decrement
this counter. This is more complex than it needs to be.
This commit therefore simplifies things and saves a few lines of
code by dispensing with the atomic decrements in favor of having
trc_read_check_handler() do the atomic increment only in the success case.
In theory, this represents no change in functionality.

[ Upstream commit ea5c8987fe ]
The synchronize_rcu_tasks_rude() function invokes rcu_tasks_rude_wait_gp()
to wait one rude RCU-tasks grace period. The rcu_tasks_rude_wait_gp()
function in turn checks if there is only a single online CPU. If so, it
will immediately return, because a call to synchronize_rcu_tasks_rude()
is by definition a grace period on a single-CPU system. (We could
have blocked!)
Unfortunately, this check uses num_online_cpus() without synchronization,
which can result in too-short grace periods. To see this, consider the
following scenario:
CPU0 CPU1 (going offline)
migration/1 task:
cpu_stopper_thread
-> take_cpu_down
-> _cpu_disable
(dec __num_online_cpus)
->cpuhp_invoke_callback
preempt_disable
access old_data0
task1
del old_data0 .....
synchronize_rcu_tasks_rude()
task1 schedule out
....
task2 schedule in
rcu_tasks_rude_wait_gp()
->__num_online_cpus == 1
->return
....
task1 schedule in
->free old_data0
preempt_enable
When CPU1 decrements __num_online_cpus, its value becomes 1. However,
CPU1 has not finished going offline, and will take one last trip through
the scheduler and the idle loop before it actually stops executing
instructions. Because synchronize_rcu_tasks_rude() is mostly used for
tracing, and because both the scheduler and the idle loop can be traced,
this means that CPU0's prematurely ended grace period might disrupt the
tracing on CPU1. Given that this disruption might include CPU1 executing
instructions in memory that was just now freed (and maybe reallocated),
this is a matter of some concern.
This commit therefore removes that problematic single-CPU check from the
rcu_tasks_rude_wait_gp() function. This dispenses with the single-CPU
optimization, but there is no evidence indicating that this optimization
is important. In addition, synchronize_rcu_tasks_generic() contains a
similar optimization (albeit only for early boot), which also splats.
(As in exactly why are you invoking synchronize_rcu_tasks_rude() so
early in boot, anyway???)
It is OK for the synchronize_rcu_tasks_rude() function's check to be
unsynchronized because the only times that this check can evaluate to
true is when there is only a single CPU running with preemption
disabled.
While in the area, this commit also fixes a minor bug in which a
call to synchronize_rcu_tasks_rude() would instead be attributed to
synchronize_rcu_tasks().

[ Upstream commit 28319d6dc5 ]
RCU Tasks and PID-namespace unshare can interact in do_exit() in a
complicated circular dependency:
1) TASK A calls unshare(CLONE_NEWPID), this creates a new PID namespace
that every subsequent child of TASK A will belong to. But TASK A
doesn't itself belong to that new PID namespace.
2) TASK A forks() and creates TASK B. TASK A stays attached to its PID
namespace (let's say PID_NS1) and TASK B is the first task belonging
to the new PID namespace created by unshare() (let's call it PID_NS2).
3) Since TASK B is the first task attached to PID_NS2, it becomes the
PID_NS2 child reaper.
4) TASK A forks() again and creates TASK C which get attached to PID_NS2.
Note how TASK C has TASK A as a parent (belonging to PID_NS1) but has
TASK B (belonging to PID_NS2) as a pid_namespace child_reaper.
5) TASK B exits and since it is the child reaper for PID_NS2, it has to
kill all other tasks attached to PID_NS2, and wait for all of them to
die before getting reaped itself (zap_pid_ns_process()).
6) TASK A calls synchronize_rcu_tasks() which leads to
synchronize_srcu(&tasks_rcu_exit_srcu).
7) TASK B is waiting for TASK C to get reaped. But TASK B is under a
tasks_rcu_exit_srcu SRCU critical section (exit_notify() is between
exit_tasks_rcu_start() and exit_tasks_rcu_finish()), blocking TASK A.
8) TASK C exits and since TASK A is its parent, it waits for it to reap
TASK C, but it can't because TASK A waits for TASK B that waits for
TASK C.
Pid_namespace semantics can hardly be changed at this point. But the
coverage of tasks_rcu_exit_srcu can be reduced instead.
The current task is assumed not to be concurrently reapable at this
stage of exit_notify() and therefore tasks_rcu_exit_srcu can be
temporarily relaxed without breaking its constraints, providing a way
out of the deadlock scenario.

Ever since the following commit:
5a41344a3d ("srcu: Simplify __srcu_read_unlock() via this_cpu_dec()")
SRCU doesn't rely anymore on preemption to be disabled in order to
modify the per-CPU counter. And even then it used to be done from the API
itself.
Therefore and after checking further, it appears to be safe to remove
the preemption disablement around __srcu_read_[un]lock() in
exit_tasks_rcu_start() and exit_tasks_rcu_finish()

This commit therefore fixes this issue by applying a single-CPU
optimization to the RCU Tasks Rude grace-period process. The key point
here is that the purpose of this RCU flavor is to force a schedule on
each online CPU since some past event. But the rcu_tasks_rude_wait_gp()
function runs in the context of the RCU Tasks Rude's grace-period kthread,
so there must already have been a context switch on the current CPU since
the call to either synchronize_rcu_tasks_rude() or call_rcu_tasks_rude().
So if there is only a single CPU online, RCU Tasks Rude's grace-period
kthread does not need to anything at all.
It turns out that the rcu_tasks_rude_wait_gp() function's call to
schedule_on_each_cpu() causes problems during early boot. During that
time, there is only one online CPU, namely the boot CPU. Therefore,
applying this single-CPU optimization fixes early-boot instances of
this problem.

The rcu_tasks_trace_postgp() function uses for_each_process_thread()
to scan the task list without the benefit of RCU read-side protection,
which can result in use-after-free errors on task_struct structures.
This error was missed because the TRACE01 rcutorture scenario enables
lockdep, but also builds with CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y. In this situation,
preemption is disabled everywhere, so lockdep thinks everywhere can
be a legitimate RCU reader. This commit therefore adds the needed
rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock().
Note that this bug can occur only after an RCU Tasks Trace CPU stall
warning, which by default only happens after a grace period has extended
for ten minutes (yes, not a typo, minutes).

When rcu_tasks_trace_postgp() function detects an RCU Tasks Trace
CPU stall, it adds all tasks blocking the current grace period to
a list, invoking get_task_struct() on each to prevent them from
being freed while on the list. It then traverses that list,
printing stall-warning messages for each one that is still blocking
the current grace period and removing it from the list. The list
removal invokes the matching put_task_struct().
This of course means that in the admittedly unlikely event that some
task executes its outermost rcu_read_unlock_trace() in the meantime, it
won't be removed from the list and put_task_struct() won't be executing,
resulting in a task_struct leak. This commit therefore makes the list
removal and put_task_struct() unconditional, stopping the leak.
Note further that this bug can occur only after an RCU Tasks Trace CPU
stall warning, which by default only happens after a grace period has

The more intense grace-period processing resulting from the 50x RCU
Tasks Trace grace-period speedups exposed the following race condition:
o Task A running on CPU 0 executes rcu_read_lock_trace(),
entering a read-side critical section.
o When Task A eventually invokes rcu_read_unlock_trace()
to exit its read-side critical section, this function
notes that the ->trc_reader_special.s flag is zero and
and therefore invoke wil set ->trc_reader_nesting to zero
using WRITE_ONCE(). But before that happens...
o The RCU Tasks Trace grace-period kthread running on some other
CPU interrogates Task A, but this fails because this task is
currently running. This kthread therefore sends an IPI to CPU 0.
o CPU 0 receives the IPI, and thus invokes trc_read_check_handler().
Because Task A has not yet cleared its ->trc_reader_nesting
counter, this function sees that Task A is still within its
read-side critical section. This function therefore sets the
->trc_reader_nesting.b.need_qs flag, AKA the .need_qs flag.
Except that Task A has already checked the .need_qs flag, which
is part of the ->trc_reader_special.s flag. The .need_qs flag
therefore remains set until Task A's next rcu_read_unlock_trace().
o Task A now invokes synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace(), which cannot
start a new grace period until the current grace period completes.
And thus cannot return until after that time.
But Task A's .need_qs flag is still set, which prevents the current
grace period from completing. And because Task A is blocked, it
will never execute rcu_read_unlock_trace() until its call to
synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace() returns.
We are therefore deadlocked.
This race is improbable, but 80 hours of rcutorture made it happen twice.
The race was possible before the grace-period speedup, but roughly 50x
less probable. Several thousand hours of rcutorture would have been
necessary to have a reasonable chance of making this happen before this
50x speedup.
This commit therefore eliminates this deadlock by setting
->trc_reader_nesting to a large negative number before checking the
.need_qs and zeroing (or decrementing with respect to its initial
value) ->trc_reader_nesting. For its part, the IPI handler's
trc_read_check_handler() function adds a check for negative values,
deferring evaluation of the task in this case. Taken together, these
changes avoid this deadlock scenario.

The various RCU tasks flavors currently wait 100 milliseconds between each
grace period in order to prevent CPU-bound loops and to favor efficiency
over latency. However, RCU Tasks Trace needs to have a grace-period
latency of roughly 25 milliseconds, which is completely infeasible given
the 100-millisecond per-grace-period sleep. This commit therefore reduces
this sleep duration to 5 milliseconds (or one jiffy, whichever is longer)
in kernels built with CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB=y.

Many workloads are quite sensitive to IPIs, and such workloads should
build kernels with CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB=y to prevent RCU
Tasks Trace from using them under normal conditions. However, other
workloads are quite happy to permit more IPIs if doing so makes BPF
program updates go faster. This commit therefore sets the default
value for the rcupdate.rcu_task_ipi_delay kernel parameter to zero for
kernels that have been built with CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB=n,
while retaining the old default of (HZ / 10) for kernels that have
indicated an aversion to IPIs via CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB=y.

The RCU Tasks Trace grace periods are too slow, as in 40x slower than
those of RCU Tasks. This is due to my having assumed a one-second grace
period was OK, and thus not having optimized any further. This commit
provides the first step in this optimization process, namely by allowing
the task_list scan backoff interval to be specified on a per-flavor basis,
and then speeding up the scans for RCU Tasks Trace. However, kernels
built with CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB=y continue to use the old slower
backoff, consistent with that Kconfig option's goal of reducing IPIs.

The rcu_read_unlock_trace() can invoke rcu_read_unlock_trace_special(),
which in turn can call wake_up(). Therefore, if any scheduler lock is

This commit therefore uses the irq_work facility to defer the wake_up()
to a clean environment where no scheduler locks will be held.

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.

This commit provides a rcupdate.rcu_task_ipi_delay kernel boot parameter
that specifies how old the RCU tasks trace grace period must be before
the grace-period kthread starts sending IPIs. This delay allows more
tasks to pass through rcu_tasks_qs() quiescent states, thus reducing
(or even eliminating) the number of IPIs that must be sent.
On a short rcutorture test setting this kernel boot parameter to HZ/2
resulted in zero IPIs for all 877 RCU-tasks trace grace periods that
elapsed during that test.

Because RCU does not watch exception early-entry/late-exit, idle-loop,
or CPU-hotplug execution, protection of tracing and BPF operations is
needlessly complicated. This commit therefore adds a variant of
Tasks RCU that:
o Has explicit read-side markers to allow finite grace periods in
the face of in-kernel loops for PREEMPT=n builds. These markers
are rcu_read_lock_trace() and rcu_read_unlock_trace().
o Protects code in the idle loop, exception entry/exit, and
CPU-hotplug code paths. In this respect, RCU-tasks trace is
similar to SRCU, but with lighter-weight readers.
o Avoids expensive read-side instruction, having overhead similar
to that of Preemptible RCU.
There are of course downsides:
o The grace-period code can send IPIs to CPUs, even when those
CPUs are in the idle loop or in nohz_full userspace. This is
mitigated by later commits.
o It is necessary to scan the full tasklist, much as for Tasks RCU.
o There is a single callback queue guarded by a single lock,
again, much as for Tasks RCU. However, those early use cases
that request multiple grace periods in quick succession are
expected to do so from a single task, which makes the single
lock almost irrelevant. If needed, multiple callback queues
can be provided using any number of schemes.
Perhaps most important, this variant of RCU does not affect the vanilla
flavors, rcu_preempt and rcu_sched. The fact that RCU Tasks Trace
readers can operate from idle, offline, and exception entry/exit in no
way enables rcu_preempt and rcu_sched readers to do so.
