142240398e audit: add gfp parameter to audit_log_nfcfg
Fixed an inconsistent use of GFP flags in nft_obj_notify() that used
GFP_KERNEL when a GFP flag was passed in to that function.  Given this
allocated memory was then used in audit_log_nfcfg() it led to an audit
of all other GFP allocations in net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c and a
modification of audit_log_nfcfg() to accept a GFP parameter.

61d56d7aa5 kcsan: Disable branch tracing in core runtime
Disable branch tracing in core KCSAN runtime if branches are being
traced (TRACE_BRANCH_PROFILING). This it to avoid its performance
impact, but also avoid recursion in case KCSAN is enabled for the branch
tracing runtime.

The latter had already been a problem for KASAN:

Remove existing special atomic rules from kcsan_is_atomic_special()
because they are no longer needed. Since we rely on the compiler
emitting instrumentation distinguishing volatile accesses, the rules

33190b675c locking/osq_lock: Annotate a data race in osq_lock
The prev->next pointer can be accessed concurrently as noticed by KCSAN:

  osq_lock+0x196/0x350
  osq_lock at kernel/locking/osq_lock.c:157
  rwsem_optimistic_spin
  <snip>

Since the write only stores NULL to prev->next and the read tests if
prev->next equals to this_cpu_ptr(&osq_node). Even if the value is
shattered, the code is still working correctly. Thus, mark it as an
intentional data race using the data_race() macro.

vm_area_dup() blindly copies all fields of original VMA to the new one.
This includes coping vm_area_struct::shared.rb which is normally
protected by i_mmap_lock. But this is fine because the read value will
be overwritten on the following __vma_link_file() under proper
protection. Thus, mark it as an intentional data race and insert a few
assertions for the fields that should not be modified concurrently.

If there is a large number of torture tests running concurrently,
all of which are dumping large ftrace buffers at shutdown time, the
resulting dumping can take a very long time, particularly on systems

bde50d8ff8 srcu: Avoid local_irq_save() before acquiring spinlock_t
SRCU disables interrupts to get a stable per-CPU pointer and then
acquires the spinlock which is in the per-CPU data structure. The
release uses spin_unlock_irqrestore(). While this is correct on a non-RT
kernel, this conflicts with the RT semantics because the spinlock is
converted to a 'sleeping' spinlock. Sleeping locks can obviously not be
acquired with interrupts disabled.

Acquire the per-CPU pointer `ssp->sda' without disabling preemption and
then acquire the spinlock_t of the per-CPU data structure. The lock will
ensure that the data is consistent.

The added call to check_init_srcu_struct() is now needed because a
statically defined srcu_struct may remain uninitialized until this
point and the newly introduced locking operation requires an initialized
spinlock_t.

This change was tested for four hours with 8*SRCU-N and 8*SRCU-P without
causing any warnings.

86e0da2bb8 refperf: More closely synchronize reader start times
Currently, readers are awakened individually.  On most systems, this
results in significant wakeup delay from one reader to the next, which
can result in the first and last reader having sole access to the
synchronization primitive in question.  If that synchronization primitive
involves shared memory, those readers will rack up a huge number of
operations in a very short time, causing large perturbations in the
results.

This commit therefore has the readers busy-wait after being awakened,
and uses a new n_started variable to synchronize their start times.

the number of threads as the experiments progress.  This commit takes
a different approach by adding an refperf.nruns module parameter that
specifies the number of experiments, and furthermore uses the same
number of threads for each experiment.

8fc28783a0 refperf: Convert nreaders to a module parameter
This commit converts nreaders to a module parameter, with the default
of -1 specifying the old behavior of using 75% of the readers.

83b88c86da refperf: Allow decimal nanoseconds
The CONFIG_PREEMPT=n rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pair's overhead,
even including loop overhead, is far less than one nanosecond.
Since logscale plots are not all that happy with zero values, provide
picoseconds as decimals.

75dd8efef5 refperf: Hoist function-pointer calls out of the loop
Current runs show PREEMPT=n rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs
consuming between 20 and 30 nanoseconds, when in fact the actual value is
zero, give or take the barrier() asm's effect on compiler optimizations.
The additional overhead is caused by function calls through pointers
(especially in these days of Spectre mitigations) and perhaps also
needless argument passing, a non-const loop limit, and an upcounting loop.

This commit therefore combines the ->readlock() and ->readunlock()
function pointers into a single ->readsection() function pointer that
takes the loop count as a const parameter and keeps any data passed
from the read-lock to the read-unlock internal to this new function.

These changes reduce the measured overhead of the aforementioned
PREEMPT=n rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs from between 20 and
30 nanoseconds to somewhere south of 500 picoseconds.

777a54c908 refperf: Add holdoff parameter to allow CPUs to come online
This commit adds an rcuperf module parameter named "holdoff" that
defaults to 10 seconds if refperf is built in and to zero otherwise.
The assumption is that all the CPUs are online by the time that the
modprobe and insmod commands are going to do anything, and that normal
systems will have all the CPUs online within ten seconds.

Larger systems may take many tens of seconds or even minutes to get
to this point, hence this being a module parameter instead of being a
hard-coded constant.

708cda3165 rcuperf: Add comments explaining the high reader overhead
This commit adds comments explaining why the readers have otherwise insane
levels of measurement overhead, namely that they are intended as a test
load for update-side performance measurements, not as a straight-up
read-side performance test.

653ed64b01 refperf: Add a test to measure performance of read-side synchronization
Add a test for comparing the performance of RCU with various read-side
synchronization mechanisms. The test has proved useful for collecting
data and performing these comparisons.

Currently RCU, SRCU, reader-writer lock, reader-writer semaphore and
reference counting can be measured using refperf.perf_type parameter.
Each invocation of the test runs measures performance of a specific
mechanism.

The maximum number of CPUs to concurrently run readers on is chosen by
the test itself and is 75% of the total number of CPUs. So if you had 24
CPUs, the test runs with a maximum of 18 parallel readers.

A number of experiments are conducted, and in each experiment, the
number of readers is increased by 1, upto the 75% of CPUs mark. During
each experiment, all readers execute an empty loop with refperf.loops
iterations and time the total loop duration. This is then averaged.

Example output:
Parameters "refperf.perf_type=srcu refperf.loops=2000000" looks like:

The show_rcu_tasks_gp_kthreads() function is not invoked by Tiny RCU,
but is nevertheless defined in Tiny RCU builds that enable Tasks Trace
RCU.  This commit therefore conditionally compiles this function so
that it is defined only in builds that actually use it.
