915e8a4fe4 rcu: Remove fastpath from __rcu_process_callbacks()
The standard code path accommodates a condition when no
RCU callbacks are ready to invoke. Since size of the code
is a priority for tiny RCU, remove the fast path.

27153acbe1 rcu: Remove unnecessary condition check in rcu_qsctr_help()
When the ->curtail and ->donetail pointers differ, ->rcucblist
always points to the beginning of the current list and thus
cannot be NULL. Therefore, the check ->rcucblist != NULL is
redundant and this commit removes it.

675da67f24 rcu: Fixes to NO_HZ_FULL sysidle accounting
On second and subsequent passes through quiescent-state forcing, the
isidle variable was initialized to false, which would prevent full sysidle
state from being reached if a grace period needed more than one round
of quiescent-state forcing (which most should not).  However, the check
for offline CPUs in the quiescent-state forcing main loop had the wrong
sense, which could prevent CPUs from ever entering full sysidle state.

This commit fixes both of these bugs.  Given that sysidle is not yet
wired up, this has no effect in old kernels, but might have proven
frustrating had anyone attempted to wire it up.

c136f99104 rcutorture: Make consistent use of variables
The "if" statement at the beginning of rcu_torture_writer() should
use the same set of variables.  In theory, this does not matter because
the corresponding variables (gp_sync and gp_sync1) have the same value
at this point in the code, but in practice such puzzles should be
removed.  This commit therefore makes the use of variables consistent.

ee42571f43 rcu: Add Kconfig option to expedite grace periods during boot
This commit adds a CONFIG_RCU_EXPEDITE_BOOT Kconfig parameter
that emulates a very early boot rcu_expedite_gp().  A late-boot
call to rcu_end_inkernel_boot() will provide the corresponding
rcu_unexpedite_gp().  The late-boot call to rcu_end_inkernel_boot()
should be made just before init is spawned.

According to Arjan:

c0135d07b0 rcu: Clear need_qs flag to prevent splat
If the scheduling-clock interrupt sets the current tasks need_qs flag,
but if the current CPU passes through a quiescent state in the meantime,
then rcu_preempt_qs() will fail to clear the need_qs flag, which can fool
RCU into thinking that additional rcu_read_unlock_special() processing
is needed.  This commit therefore clears the need_qs flag before checking
for additional processing.

For this problem to occur, we need rcu_preempt_data.passed_quiesce equal
to true and current->rcu_read_unlock_special.b.need_qs also equal to true.
This condition can occur as follows:

1.	CPU 0 is aware of the current preemptible RCU grace period,
	but has not yet passed through a quiescent state.  Among other
	things, this means that rcu_preempt_data.passed_quiesce is false.

2.	Task A running on CPU 0 enters a preemptible RCU read-side
	critical section.

3.	CPU 0 takes a scheduling-clock interrupt, which notices the
	RCU read-side critical section and the need for a quiescent state,
	and thus sets current->rcu_read_unlock_special.b.need_qs to true.

4.	Task A is preempted, enters the scheduler, eventually invoking
	rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() which in turn invokes
	rcu_preempt_qs().

	Because rcu_preempt_data.passed_quiesce is false,
	control enters the body of the "if" statement, which sets
	rcu_preempt_data.passed_quiesce to true.

5.	At this point, CPU 0 takes an interrupt.  The interrupt
	handler contains an RCU read-side critical section, and
	the rcu_read_unlock() notes that current->rcu_read_unlock_special
	is nonzero, and thus invokes rcu_read_unlock_special().

6.	Once in rcu_read_unlock_special(), the fact that
	current->rcu_read_unlock_special.b.need_qs is true becomes
	apparent, so rcu_read_unlock_special() invokes rcu_preempt_qs().
	Recursively, given that we interrupted out of that same
	function in the preceding step.

7.	Because rcu_preempt_data.passed_quiesce is now true,
	rcu_preempt_qs() does nothing, and simply returns.

8.	Upon return to rcu_read_unlock_special(), it is noted that
	current->rcu_read_unlock_special is still nonzero (because
	the interrupted rcu_preempt_qs() had not yet gotten around
	to clearing current->rcu_read_unlock_special.b.need_qs).

9.	Execution proceeds to the WARN_ON_ONCE(), which notes that
	we are in an interrupt handler and thus duly splats.

The solution, as noted above, is to make rcu_read_unlock_special()
clear out current->rcu_read_unlock_special.b.need_qs after calling
rcu_preempt_qs().  The interrupted rcu_preempt_qs() will clear it again,
but this is harmless.  The worst that happens is that we clobber another
attempt to set this field, but this is not a problem because we just
got done reporting a quiescent state.

The tiny RCU CPU stall detection depends on *rcp->curtail not being

should check rcp->rcucblist for the presence of pending callbacks which
need to be processed. With this fix INFO about the stall is printed and
jiffies_stall (jiffies at next stall) correctly updated.

Note that the check for pending callback is necessary to avoid spurious
warnings if there are no pendings callbacks.

5cd37193ce rcu: Make cond_resched_rcu_qs() apply to normal RCU flavors
Although cond_resched_rcu_qs() only applies to TASKS_RCU, it is used
in places where it would be useful for it to apply to the normal RCU
flavors, rcu_preempt, rcu_sched, and rcu_bh.  This is especially the
case for workloads that aggressively overload the system, particularly
those that generate large numbers of RCU updates on systems running
NO_HZ_FULL CPUs.  This commit therefore communicates quiescent states
from cond_resched_rcu_qs() to the normal RCU flavors.

Note that it is unfortunately necessary to leave the old ->passed_quiesce
mechanism in place to allow quiescent states that apply to only one
flavor to be recorded.  (Yes, we could decrement ->rcu_qs_ctr_snap in
that case, but that is not so good for debugging of RCU internals.)
In addition, if one of the RCU flavor's grace period has stalled, this
will invoke rcu_momentary_dyntick_idle(), resulting in a heavy-weight
quiescent state visible from other CPUs.

a94844b22a rcu: Optionally run grace-period kthreads at real-time priority
Recent testing has shown that under heavy load, running RCU's grace-period
kthreads at real-time priority can improve performance (according to 0day
test robot) and reduce the incidence of RCU CPU stall warnings.  However,
most systems do just fine with the default non-realtime priorities for
these kthreads, and it does not make sense to expose the entire user
base to any risk stemming from this change, given that this change is
of use only to a few users running extremely heavy workloads.

Therefore, this commit allows users to specify realtime priorities
for the grace-period kthreads, but leaves them running SCHED_OTHER
by default.  The realtime priority may be specified at build time
via the RCU_KTHREAD_PRIO Kconfig parameter, or at boot time via the
rcutree.kthread_prio parameter.  Either way, 0 says to continue the
default SCHED_OTHER behavior and values from 1-99 specify that priority
of SCHED_FIFO behavior.  Note that a value of 0 is not permitted when
the RCU_BOOST Kconfig parameter is specified.

e3663b1024 rcu: Handle gpnum/completed wrap while dyntick idle
Subtle race conditions can result if a CPU stays in dyntick-idle mode
long enough for the ->gpnum and ->completed fields to wrap.  For
example, consider the following sequence of events:

o	CPU 1 encounters a quiescent state while waiting for grace period
	5 to complete, but then enters dyntick-idle mode.

o	While CPU 1 is in dyntick-idle mode, the grace-period counters
	wrap around so that the grace period number is now 4.

o	Just as CPU 1 exits dyntick-idle mode, grace period 4 completes
	and grace period 5 begins.

o	The quiescent state that CPU 1 passed through during the old
	grace period 5 looks like it applies to the new grace period
	5.  Therefore, the new grace period 5 completes without CPU 1
	having passed through a quiescent state.

This could clearly be a fatal surprise to any long-running RCU read-side
critical section that happened to be running on CPU 1 at the time.  At one
time, this was not a problem, given that it takes significant time for
the grace-period counters to overflow even on 32-bit systems.  However,
with the advent of NO_HZ_FULL and SMP embedded systems, arbitrarily long
idle periods are now becoming quite feasible.  It is therefore time to
close this race.

This commit therefore avoids this race condition by having the
quiescent-state forcing code detect when a CPU is falling too far
behind, and setting a new rcu_data field ->gpwrap when this happens.
Whenever this new ->gpwrap field is set, the CPU's ->gpnum and ->completed
fields are known to be untrustworthy, and can be ignored, along with
any associated quiescent states.

6ccd2ecd42 rcu: Improve diagnostics for spurious RCU CPU stall warnings
The current RCU CPU stall warning code will print "Stall ended before
state dump start" any time that the stall-warning code is triggered on
a CPU that has already reported a quiescent state for the current grace
period and if all quiescent states have been reported for the current
grace period.  However, a true stall can result in these symptoms, for
example, by preventing RCU's grace-period kthreads from ever running

This commit therefore checks for this condition, reporting the end of
the stall only if one of the grace-period counters has actually advanced.
Otherwise, it reports the last time that the grace-period kthread made
meaningful progress.  (In normal situations, the grace-period kthread
should make meaningful progress at least every jiffies_till_next_fqs
jiffies.)

a5c198f4f7 rcu: Expand SRCU ->completed to 64 bits
When rcutorture used only the low-order 32 bits of the grace-period
number, it was not a problem for SRCU to use a 32-bit completed field.
However, rcutorture now uses the full 64 bits on 64-bit systems, so
this commit converts SRCU's ->completed field to unsigned long so as to
provide 64 bits on 64-bit systems.

ab954c167e rcu: Remove redundant callback-list initialization
The RCU callback lists are initialized in both rcu_boot_init_percpu_data()
and rcu_init_percpu_data().  The former is intended for initializing
immutable data, so this commit removes the initialization from
rcu_boot_init_percpu_data() and leaves it in rcu_init_percpu_data().
This change prepares for permitting callbacks to be queued very early
in boot.

Now that blocked tasks are no longer migrated to the root rcu_node

abaf3f9d27 rcu: Revert "Allow post-unlock reference for rt_mutex" to avoid priority-inversion
The patch dfeb9765ce3c ("Allow post-unlock reference for rt_mutex")
ensured rcu-boost safe even the rt_mutex has post-unlock reference.

But rt_mutex allowing post-unlock reference is definitely a bug and it was
fixed by the commit 27e35715df54 ("rtmutex: Plug slow unlock race").
This fix made the previous patch (dfeb9765ce3c) useless.

And even worse, the priority-inversion introduced by the the previous
patch still exists.

rcu_read_unlock_special() {
	rt_mutex_unlock(&rnp->boost_mtx);
	/* Priority-Inversion:
	 * the current task had been deboosted and preempted as a low
	 * priority task immediately, it could wait long before reschedule in,
	 * and the rcu-booster also waits on this low priority task and sleeps.
	 * This priority-inversion makes rcu-booster can't work
	 * as expected.
	 */
	complete(&rnp->boost_completion);
}

Just revert the patch to avoid it.

3ba4d0e09b rcu: Note quiescent state when CPU goes offline
The rcu_cleanup_dead_cpu() function (called after a CPU has gone
completely offline) has not reported a quiescent state because there
was probably at least one synchronize_rcu() between the time the CPU
went offline and the CPU_DEAD notifier, and this would have detected
the CPU's offline state via quiescent-state forcing.  However, the plan
is for CPUs to take themselves offline, at which point it makes sense
for them to report their own quiescent state.  This commit makes this
change in preparation for the new CPU-hotplug setup.

5d0b024973 rcu: Don't bother affinitying rcub kthreads away from offline CPUs
When rcu_boost_kthread_setaffinity() sees that all CPUs for a given
rcu_node structure are now offline, it affinities the corresponding
RCU-boost ("rcub") kthread away from those CPUs.  This is pointless
because the kthread cannot run on those offline CPUs in any case.
This commit therefore removes this unneeded code.

1be0085b51 rcu: Don't initiate RCU priority boosting on root rcu_node
Because there is no longer any preempted tasks on the root rcu_node, and
because there is no longer ever an rcub kthread for the root rcu_node,
this commit drops the code in force_qs_rnp() that attempts to awaken
the non-existent root rcub kthread.  This is strictly a performance
enhancement, removing a root rcu_node ->lock acquisition and release
along with some tests in rcu_initiate_boost(), ending with the test that
notes that there is no rcub kthread.

d19fb8d1f3 rcu: Don't migrate blocked tasks even if all corresponding CPUs offline
When the last CPU associated with a given leaf rcu_node structure
goes offline, something must be done about the tasks queued on that
rcu_node structure.  Each of these tasks has been preempted on one of
the leaf rcu_node structure's CPUs while in an RCU read-side critical
section that it have not yet exited.  Handling these tasks is the job of
rcu_preempt_offline_tasks(), which migrates them from the leaf rcu_node
structure to the root rcu_node structure.

Unfortunately, this migration has to be done one task at a time because
each tasks allegiance must be shifted from the original leaf rcu_node to
the root, so that future attempts to deal with these tasks will acquire
the root rcu_node structure's ->lock rather than that of the leaf.
Worse yet, this migration must be done with interrupts disabled, which
is not so good for realtime response, especially given that there is
no bound on the number of tasks on a given rcu_node structure's list.
(OK, OK, there is a bound, it is just that it is unreasonably large,
especially on 64-bit systems.)  This was not considered a problem back
when rcu_preempt_offline_tasks() was first written because realtime
systems were assumed not to do CPU-hotplug operations while real-time
applications were running.  This assumption has proved of dubious validity
given that people are starting to run multiple realtime applications
on a single SMP system and that it is common practice to offline then
online a CPU before starting its real-time application in order to clear
extraneous processing off of that CPU.  So we now need CPU hotplug
operations to avoid undue latencies.

This commit therefore avoids migrating these tasks, instead letting
them be dequeued one by one from the original leaf rcu_node structure
by rcu_read_unlock_special().  This means that the clearing of bits
from the upper-level rcu_node structures must be deferred until the
last such task has been dequeued, because otherwise subsequent grace
periods won't wait on them.  This commit has the beneficial side effect
of simplifying the CPU-hotplug code for TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, especially in
CONFIG_RCU_BOOST builds.

remain queued on their rcu_node structure even after all of that rcu_node
structure's CPUs have gone offline.
