6be7436d22 rcu: Add rcu_gp_might_be_stalled()
This commit adds rcu_gp_might_be_stalled(), which returns true if there
is some reason to believe that the RCU grace period is stalled.  The use
case is where an RCU free-memory path needs to allocate memory in order
to free it, a situation that should be avoided where possible.

But where it is necessary, there is always the alternative of using
synchronize_rcu() to wait for a grace period in order to avoid the
allocation.  And if the grace period is stalled, allocating memory to
asynchronously wait for it is a bad idea of epic proportions: Far better
to let others use the memory, because these others might actually be
able to free that memory before the grace period ends.

Thus, rcu_gp_might_be_stalled() can be used to help decide whether
allocating memory on an RCU free path is a semi-reasonable course
of action.

58c53360b3 rcutorture: Allow boottime stall warnings to be suppressed
In normal production, an RCU CPU stall warning at boottime is often
just as bad as at any other time.  In fact, given the desire for fast
boot, any sort of long-term stall at boot is a bad idea.  However,
heavy rcutorture testing on large hyperthreaded systems can generate
boottime RCU CPU stalls as a matter of course.  This commit therefore
provides a kernel boot parameter that suppresses reporting of boottime
RCU CPU stall warnings and similarly of rcutorture writer stalls.

5648d65912 rcu: Don't flag non-starting GPs before GP kthread is running
Currently rcu_check_gp_start_stall() complains if a grace period takes
too long to start, where "too long" is roughly one RCU CPU stall-warning
interval.  This has worked well, but there are some debugging Kconfig
options (such as CONFIG_EFI_PGT_DUMP=y) that can make booting take a
very long time, so much so that the stall-warning interval has expired
before RCU's grace-period kthread has even been spawned.

This commit therefore resets the rcu_state.gp_req_activity and
rcu_state.gp_activity timestamps just before the grace-period kthread
is spawned, and modifies the checks and adds ordering to ensure that
if rcu_check_gp_start_stall() sees that the grace-period kthread
has been spawned, that it will also see the resets applied to the
rcu_state.gp_req_activity and rcu_state.gp_activity timestamps.

59881bcd85 rcu: Add WRITE_ONCE() to rcu_state ->gp_start
The rcu_state structure's ->gp_start field is read locklessly, so this
commit adds the WRITE_ONCE() to an update in order to provide proper

This data race was reported by KCSAN.  Not appropriate for backporting

e2167b38c8 rcu: Move gp_state_names[] and gp_state_getname() to tree_stall.h
Only tree_stall.h needs to get name from GP state, so this commit
moves the gp_state_names[] array and the gp_state_getname()
from kernel/rcu/tree.h and kernel/rcu/tree.c, respectively, to
kernel/rcu/tree_stall.h.  While moving gp_state_names[], this commit
uses the GCC syntax to ensure that the right string is associated with
the right CPP macro.

This commit removes kfree_rcu() special-casing and the lazy-callback
handling from Tree RCU.  It moves some of this special casing to Tiny RCU,
the removal of which will be the subject of later commits.

This results in a nice negative delta.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - MAINTAINERS: Add Mark Rutland as perf submaintainer, Juri Lelli and
   Vincent Guittot as scheduler submaintainers. Add Dietmar Eggemann,
   Steven Rostedt, Ben Segall and Mel Gorman as scheduler reviewers.

   As perf and the scheduler is getting bigger and more complex,
   document the status quo of current responsibilities and interests,
   and spread the review pain^H^H^H^H fun via an increase in the Cc:
   linecount generated by scripts/get_maintainer.pl. :-)

 - Add another series of patches that brings the -rt (PREEMPT_RT) tree
   closer to mainline: split the monolithic CONFIG_PREEMPT dependencies
   into a new CONFIG_PREEMPTION category that will allow the eventual
   introduction of CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT. Still a few more hundred patches
   to go though.

 - Extend the CPU cgroup controller with uclamp.min and uclamp.max to
   allow the finer shaping of CPU bandwidth usage.

 - Micro-optimize energy-aware wake-ups from O(CPUS^2) to O(CPUS).

 - Improve the behavior of high CPU count, high thread count
   applications running under cpu.cfs_quota_us constraints.

 - Improve balancing with SCHED_IDLE (SCHED_BATCH) tasks present.

 - Improve CPU isolation housekeeping CPU allocation NUMA locality.

 - Fix deadline scheduler bandwidth calculations and logic when cpusets
   rebuilds the topology, or when it gets deadline-throttled while it's
   being offlined.

 - Convert the cpuset_mutex to percpu_rwsem, to allow it to be used from
   setscheduler() system calls without creating global serialization.
   Add new synchronization between cpuset topology-changing events and
   the deadline acceptance tests in setscheduler(), which were broken
   before.

 - Rework the active_mm state machine to be less confusing and more
   optimal.

 - Rework (simplify) the pick_next_task() slowpath.

 - Improve load-balancing on AMD EPYC systems.

 - ... and misc cleanups, smaller fixes and improvements - please see
   the Git log for more details.

01b1d88b09 rcu: Use CONFIG_PREEMPTION
CONFIG_PREEMPTION is selected by CONFIG_PREEMPT and by
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT. Both PREEMPT and PREEMPT_RT require the same
functionality which today depends on CONFIG_PREEMPT.

Switch the conditionals in RCU to use CONFIG_PREEMPTION.

That's the first step towards RCU on RT. The further tweaks are work in
progress. This neither touches the selftest bits which need a closer look
by Paul.

3ae976a7e3 rcu: Correctly unlock root node in rcu_check_gp_start_stall()
On systems whose rcu_node tree has only one node, the
rcu_check_gp_start_stall() function's values of rnp and rnp_root will
be identical.  In this case, it clearly does not make sense to release
both rnp->lock and rnp_root->lock, but that is exactly what this function
does in the last early exit.  This commit therefore unlocks only rnp->lock
when rnp and rnp_root are equal.

21d0d79ab0 rcu: Inline RCU task stall-warning helper functions
The rcu_print_detail_task_stall(), rcu_print_task_stall_begin(), and

This commit saves a few lines of code by inlining them into their sole
callers.

While in the area, a useless call of rcu_print_detail_task_stall_rnp()
on the root rcu_node structure was eliminated.  If there is only one
rcu_node structure, its tasks get printed twice, but if there are more,
the root rcu_node structure is guaranteed to have an empty list of blocked
tasks, hence the uselessness.  (Long ago, root rcu_node structures with
non-empty ->blkd_tasks lists could happen, but no longer.)
