This commit adds tracing to track how the segcb list changes before/after
acceleration, during queuing and during dequeuing.
This tracing helped discover an optimization that avoided needless GP
requests when no callbacks were accelerated. The tracing overhead is
minimal as each segment's length is now stored in the respective segment.

The full memory barriers in rcu_segcblist_enqueue() and in rcu_do_batch()
are not needed because rcu_segcblist_add_len(), and thus also
rcu_segcblist_inc_len(), already includes a memory barrier *before*
and *after* the length of the list is updated.
This commit therefore removes these redundant smp_mb() invocations.

Add counting of segment lengths of segmented callback list.
This will be useful for a number of things such as knowing how big the
ready-to-execute segment have gotten. The immediate benefit is ability
to trace how the callbacks in the segmented callback list change.
Also this patch remove hacks related to using donecbs's ->len field as a
temporary variable to save the segmented callback list's length. This cannot be
done anymore and is not needed.
Also fix SRCU:
The negative counting of the unsegmented list cannot be used to adjust
the segmented one. To fix this, sample the unsegmented length in
advance, and use it after CB execution to adjust the segmented list's
length.

One counter-intuitive property of RCU is the fact that full memory
barriers are needed both before and after updates to the full
(non-segmented) length. This patch therefore helps to assist the
reader's intuition by adding appropriate comments.

Currently, RCU CPU stall warning messages will NMI whatever CPU looks
like it is blocking either the current grace period or the grace-period

When the RCU CPU stall-warning code detects that the RCU grace-period
kthread is being starved, it dumps that kthread's stack. This can
sometimes be useful, but it is also useful to know what is running on the
CPU that this kthread is attempting to run on. This commit therefore
adds a stack trace of this CPU in order to help track down whatever it
is that might be preventing RCU's grace-period kthread from running.

There is a rather obtuse string that can be printed as part of an
expedited RCU CPU stall-warning message that starts with "blocking
rcu_node structures". Under normal conditions, most of this message
is just repeating the list of CPUs blocking the current expedited grace
period, but in a manner that is rather difficult to read. This commit
therefore marks this message as "(internal RCU debug)" in an effort to
give people the option of avoiding wasting time attempting to extract
nonexistent additional meaning from this portion of the message.

RCU guarantees that anything seen by a given reader will also be seen
after any grace period that must wait on that reader. This is very likely
to hold based on inspection, but the advantage of having rcutorture do
the inspecting is that rcutorture doesn't mind inspecting frequently
and often.

Expedited RCU grace periods send IPIs to all non-idle CPUs, and thus can
disrupt time-critical code in real-time applications. However, there
is a portion of boot-time processing (presumably before any real-time
applications have started) where expedited RCU grace periods are the only
option. And so it is that experience with the -rt patchset indicates that
PREEMPT_RT systems should always set the rcupdate.rcu_normal_after_boot
kernel boot parameter.
This commit therefore makes the post-boot application environment safe
for real-time applications by making PREEMPT_RT systems disable the
rcupdate.rcu_normal_after_boot kernel boot parameter and acting as
if this parameter had been set. This means that post-boot calls to
synchronize_rcu_expedited() will be treated as if they were instead
calls to synchronize_rcu(), thus preventing the IPIs, and thus avoiding
disrupting real-time applications.

PREEMPT_RT systems have long used the rcutree.use_softirq kernel
boot parameter to avoid use of RCU_SOFTIRQ handlers, which can disrupt
real-time applications by invoking callbacks during return from interrupts
that arrived while executing time-critical code. This kernel boot
parameter instead runs RCU core processing in an 'rcuc' kthread, thus
allowing the scheduler to do its job of avoiding disrupting time-critical
code.
This commit therefore disables the rcutree.use_softirq kernel boot
parameter on PREEMPT_RT systems, thus forcing such systems to do RCU
core processing in 'rcuc' kthreads. This approach has long been in
use by users of the -rt patchset, and there have been no complaints.
There is therefore no way for the system administrator to override this
choice, at least without modifying and rebuilding the kernel.

On PREEMPT_RT kernels, RCU callbacks are deferred to the `rcuc' kthread.
This can stall RCU grace periods due to lengthy preemption not only of RCU
readers but also of 'rcuc' kthreads, either of which prevent grace periods
from completing, which can in turn result in OOM. Because PREEMPT_RT
kernels have more kthreads that can block grace periods, it is more
important for such kernels to enable RCU_BOOST.
This commit therefore makes RCU_BOOST the default on PREEMPT_RT.
RCU_BOOST can still be manually disabled if need be.

The rcu_do_batch() function extracts the ready-to-invoke callbacks
from the rcu_segcblist located in the ->cblist field of the current
CPU's rcu_data structure. These callbacks are first moved to a local
(unsegmented) rcu_cblist. The rcu_do_batch() function then uses this
rcu_cblist's ->len field to count how many CBs it has invoked, but it
does so by counting that field down from zero. Finally, this function
negates the value in this ->len field (resulting in a positive number)
and subtracts the result from the ->len field of the current CPU's
->cblist field.
Except that it is sometimes necessary for rcu_do_batch() to stop invoking
callbacks mid-stream, despite there being more ready to invoke, for
example, if a high-priority task wakes up. In this case the remaining
not-yet-invoked callbacks are requeued back onto the CPU's ->cblist,
but remain in the ready-to-invoke segment of that list. As above, the
negative of the local rcu_cblist's ->len field is still subtracted from
the ->len field of the current CPU's ->cblist field.
The design of counting down from 0 is confusing and error-prone, plus
use of a positive count will make it easier to provide a uniform and
consistent API to deal with the per-segment counts that are added
later in this series. For example, rcu_segcblist_extract_done_cbs()
can unconditionally populate the resulting unsegmented list's ->len
field during extraction.
This commit therefore explicitly counts how many callbacks were executed
in rcu_do_batch() itself, counting up from zero, and then uses that
to update the per-CPU segcb list's ->len field, without relying on the
downcounting of rcl->len from zero.

The fix is straightforward, simply moving initialization of RCU Tasks

PowerPC testing encountered boot failures due to RCU Tasks not being
fully initialized until core_initcall() time. This commit therefore
initializes RCU Tasks (along with Rude RCU and RCU Tasks Trace) just
before early_initcall() time, thus allowing waiting on RCU Tasks grace
periods from early_initcall() handlers.

It turns out that init_srcu_struct() can be invoked from usermode tasks,
and that fatal signals received by these tasks can cause memory-allocation
failures. These failures are not handled well by init_srcu_struct(),
so much so that NULL pointer dereferences can result. This commit
therefore causes init_srcu_struct() to take an early exit upon detection
of memory-allocation failure.

The current memmory-allocation interface causes the following difficulties
for kvfree_rcu():
a) If built with CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING, the lockdep will
complain about violation of the nesting rules, as in "BUG: Invalid
wait context". This Kconfig option checks for proper raw_spinlock
vs. spinlock nesting, in particular, it is not legal to acquire a
spinlock_t while holding a raw_spinlock_t.
This is a problem because kfree_rcu() uses raw_spinlock_t whereas the
"page allocator" internally deals with spinlock_t to access to its
zones. The code also can be broken from higher level of view:
<snip>
raw_spin_lock(&some_lock);
kfree_rcu(some_pointer, some_field_offset);
<snip>
b) If built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT, spinlock_t is converted into
sleeplock. This means that invoking the page allocator from atomic
contexts results in "BUG: scheduling while atomic".
c) Please note that call_rcu() is already invoked from raw atomic context,
so it is only reasonable to expaect that kfree_rcu() and kvfree_rcu()
will also be called from atomic raw context.
This commit therefore defers page allocation to a clean context using the
combination of an hrtimer and a workqueue. The hrtimer stage is required
in order to avoid deadlocks with the scheduler. This deferred allocation
is required only when kvfree_rcu()'s per-CPU page cache is empty.

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.

The rcu_cpu_starting() and rcu_report_dead() functions transition the
current CPU between online and offline state from an RCU perspective.
Unfortunately, this means that the rcu_cpu_starting() function's lock
acquisition and the rcu_report_dead() function's lock releases happen
while the CPU is offline from an RCU perspective, which can result
in lockdep-RCU splats about using RCU from an offline CPU. And this
situation can also result in too-short grace periods, especially in
guest OSes that are subject to vCPU preemption.
This commit therefore uses sequence-count-like synchronization to forgive
use of RCU while RCU thinks a CPU is offline across the full extent of
the rcu_cpu_starting() and rcu_report_dead() function's lock acquisitions
and releases.
One approach would have been to use the actual sequence-count primitives
provided by the Linux kernel. Unfortunately, the resulting code looks
completely broken and wrong, and is likely to result in patches that
break RCU in an attempt to address this appearance of broken wrongness.
Plus there is no net savings in lines of code, given the additional
explicit memory barriers required.
Therefore, this sequence count is instead implemented by a new ->ofl_seq
field in the rcu_node structure. If this counter's value is an odd
number, RCU forgives RCU read-side critical sections on other CPUs covered
by the same rcu_node structure, even if those CPUs are offline from
an RCU perspective. In addition, if a given leaf rcu_node structure's
->ofl_seq counter value is an odd number, rcu_gp_init() delays starting
the grace period until that counter value changes.

Testing showed that rcu_pending() can return 1 when offloaded callbacks
are ready to execute. This invokes RCU core processing, for example,
by raising RCU_SOFTIRQ, eventually resulting in a call to rcu_core().
However, rcu_core() explicitly avoids in any way manipulating offloaded
callbacks, which are instead handled by the rcuog and rcuoc kthreads,
which work independently of rcu_core().
One exception to this independence is that rcu_core() invokes
do_nocb_deferred_wakeup(), however, rcu_pending() also checks
rcu_nocb_need_deferred_wakeup() in order to correctly handle this case,
invoking rcu_core() when needed.
This commit therefore avoids needlessly invoking RCU core processing
by checking rcu_segcblist_ready_cbs() only on non-offloaded CPUs.
This reduces overhead, for example, by reducing softirq activity.
This change passed 30 minute tests of TREE01 through TREE09 each.
On TREE08, there is at most 150us from the time that rcu_pending() chose
not to invoke RCU core processing to the time when the ready callbacks
were invoked by the rcuoc kthread. This provides further evidence that
there is no need to invoke rcu_core() for offloaded callbacks that are
ready to invoke.

Currently, rcu_cpu_starting() checks to see if the RCU core expects a
quiescent state from the incoming CPU. However, the current interaction
between RCU quiescent-state reporting and CPU-hotplug operations should
mean that the incoming CPU never needs to report a quiescent state.
First, the outgoing CPU reports a quiescent state if needed. Second,
the race where the CPU is leaving just as RCU is initializing a new
grace period is handled by an explicit check for this condition. Third,
the CPU's leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock serializes these checks.
This means that if rcu_cpu_starting() ever feels the need to report
a quiescent state, then there is a bug somewhere in the CPU hotplug
code or the RCU grace-period handling code. This commit therefore
adds a WARN_ON_ONCE() to bring that bug to everyone's attention.

Currently, for CONFIG_PREEMPTION=n kernels, rcu_blocking_is_gp() uses
num_online_cpus() to determine whether there is only one CPU online. When
there is only a single CPU online, the simple fact that synchronize_rcu()
could be legally called implies that a full grace period has elapsed.
Therefore, in the single-CPU case, synchronize_rcu() simply returns
immediately. Unfortunately, num_online_cpus() is unreliable while a
CPU-hotplug operation is transitioning to or from single-CPU operation
because:
1. num_online_cpus() uses atomic_read(&__num_online_cpus) to
locklessly sample the number of online CPUs. The hotplug locks
are not held, which means that an incoming CPU can concurrently
update this count. This in turn means that an RCU read-side
critical section on the incoming CPU might observe updates
prior to the grace period, but also that this critical section
might extend beyond the end of the optimized synchronize_rcu().
This breaks RCU's fundamental guarantee.
2. In addition, num_online_cpus() does no ordering, thus providing
another way that RCU's fundamental guarantee can be broken by
the current code.
3. The most probable failure mode happens on outgoing CPUs.
The outgoing CPU updates the count of online CPUs in the
CPUHP_TEARDOWN_CPU stop-machine handler, which is fine in
and of itself due to preemption being disabled at the call
to num_online_cpus(). Unfortunately, after that stop-machine
handler returns, the CPU takes one last trip through the
scheduler (which has RCU readers) and, after the resulting
context switch, one final dive into the idle loop. During this
time, RCU needs to keep track of two CPUs, but num_online_cpus()
will say that there is only one, which in turn means that the
surviving CPU will incorrectly ignore the outgoing CPU's RCU
read-side critical sections.
This problem is illustrated by the following litmus test in which P0()
corresponds to synchronize_rcu() and P1() corresponds to the incoming CPU.
The herd7 tool confirms that the "exists" clause can be satisfied,
thus demonstrating that this breakage can happen according to the Linux
kernel memory model.
{
int x = 0;
atomic_t numonline = ATOMIC_INIT(1);
}
P0(int *x, atomic_t *numonline)
{
int r0;
WRITE_ONCE(*x, 1);
r0 = atomic_read(numonline);
if (r0 == 1) {
smp_mb();
} else {
synchronize_rcu();
}
WRITE_ONCE(*x, 2);
}
P1(int *x, atomic_t *numonline)
{
int r0; int r1;
atomic_inc(numonline);
smp_mb();
rcu_read_lock();
r0 = READ_ONCE(*x);
smp_rmb();
r1 = READ_ONCE(*x);
rcu_read_unlock();
}
locations [x;numonline;]
exists (1:r0=0 /\ 1:r1=2)
It is important to note that these problems arise only when the system
is transitioning to or from single-CPU operation.
One solution would be to hold the CPU-hotplug locks while sampling
num_online_cpus(), which was in fact the intent of the (redundant)
preempt_disable() and preempt_enable() surrounding this call to
num_online_cpus(). Actually blocking CPU hotplug would not only result
in excessive overhead, but would also unnecessarily impede CPU-hotplug
operations.
This commit therefore follows long-standing RCU tradition by maintaining
a separate RCU-specific set of CPU-hotplug books.
This separate set of books is implemented by a new ->n_online_cpus field
in the rcu_state structure that maintains RCU's count of the online CPUs.
This count is incremented early in the CPU-online process, so that
the critical transition away from single-CPU operation will occur when
there is only a single CPU. Similarly for the critical transition to
single-CPU operation, the counter is decremented late in the CPU-offline
process, again while there is only a single CPU. Because there is only
ever a single CPU when the ->n_online_cpus field undergoes the critical
1->2 and 2->1 transitions, full memory ordering and mutual exclusion is
provided implicitly and, better yet, for free.
In the case where the CPU is coming online, nothing will happen until
the current CPU helps it come online. Therefore, the new CPU will see
all accesses prior to the optimized grace period, which means that RCU
does not need to further delay this new CPU. In the case where the CPU
is going offline, the outgoing CPU is totally out of the picture before
the optimized grace period starts, which means that this outgoing CPU
cannot see any of the accesses following that grace period. Again,
RCU needs no further interaction with the outgoing CPU.
This does mean that synchronize_rcu() will unnecessarily do a few grace
periods the hard way just before the second CPU comes online and just
after the second-to-last CPU goes offline, but it is not worth optimizing
this uncommon case.

Pull RCU fix from Paul McKenney:
"A single commit that fixes a bug that was introduced a couple of merge
windows ago, but which rather more recently converged to an
agreed-upon fix. The bug is that interrupts can be incorrectly enabled
while holding an irq-disabled spinlock. This can of course result in
self-deadlocks.
The bug is a bit difficult to trigger. It requires that a preempted
task be blocking a preemptible-RCU grace period long enough to trigger
an RCU CPU stall warning. In addition, an interrupt must occur at just
the right time, and that interrupt's handler must acquire that same
irq-disabled spinlock. Still, a deadlock is a deadlock.
Furthermore, we do now have a fix, and that fix survives kernel test
robot, -next, and rcutorture testing. It has also been verified by
Sebastian as fixing the bug. Therefore..."

The try_invoke_on_locked_down_task() function requires that

diagnostic. This commit therefore updates rcu_print_task_stall()
to accumulate a list of the first few tasks while holding the current
leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock, then releases that lock and only then
uses try_invoke_on_locked_down_task() to attempt to obtain per-task
detailed information. Of course, as soon as ->lock is released, the
task might exit, so the get_task_struct() function is used to prevent
the task structure from going away in the meantime.
