RCU has only one multi-tail callback list, which is implemented via
the nxtlist, nxttail, nxtcompleted, qlen_lazy, and qlen fields in the
rcu_data structure, and whose operations are open-code throughout the
Tree RCU implementation. This has been more or less OK in the past,
but upcoming callback-list optimizations in SRCU could really use
a multi-tail callback list there as well.
This commit therefore abstracts the multi-tail callback list handling
into a new kernel/rcu/rcu_segcblist.h file, and uses this new API.
The simple head-and-tail pointer callback list is also abstracted and
applied everywhere except for the NOCB callback-offload lists. (Yes,
the plan is to apply them there as well, but this commit is already
bigger than would be good.)

The rcu_all_qs() and rcu_note_context_switch() do a series of checks,
taking various actions to supply RCU with quiescent states, depending
on the outcomes of the various checks. This is a bit much for scheduling
fastpaths, so this commit creates a separate ->rcu_urgent_qs field in
the rcu_dynticks structure that acts as a global guard for these checks.
Thus, in the common case, rcu_all_qs() and rcu_note_context_switch()
check the ->rcu_urgent_qs field, find it false, and simply return.

This commit is the fourth step towards full abstraction of all accesses
to the ->dynticks counter, implementing previously open-coded checks and

It used to be that the rcuo callback-offload kthreads were spawned
in rcu_organize_nocb_kthreads(), and the comment before the "for"
loop says as much. However, this spawning has long since moved to
the CPU-hotplug code, so this commit fixes this comment.

The current preemptible RCU implementation goes through three phases
during bootup. In the first phase, there is only one CPU that is running
with preemption disabled, so that a no-op is a synchronous grace period.
In the second mid-boot phase, the scheduler is running, but RCU has
not yet gotten its kthreads spawned (and, for expedited grace periods,
workqueues are not yet running. During this time, any attempt to do
a synchronous grace period will hang the system (or complain bitterly,
depending). In the third and final phase, RCU is fully operational and
everything works normally.
This has been OK for some time, but there has recently been some
synchronous grace periods showing up during the second mid-boot phase.
This code worked "by accident" for awhile, but started failing as soon
as expedited RCU grace periods switched over to workqueues in commit
8b355e3bc1 ("rcu: Drive expedited grace periods from workqueue").
Note that the code was buggy even before this commit, as it was subject
to failure on real-time systems that forced all expedited grace periods
to run as normal grace periods (for example, using the rcu_normal ksysfs
parameter). The callchain from the failure case is as follows:
early_amd_iommu_init()
|-> acpi_put_table(ivrs_base);
|-> acpi_tb_put_table(table_desc);
|-> acpi_tb_invalidate_table(table_desc);
|-> acpi_tb_release_table(...)
|-> acpi_os_unmap_memory
|-> acpi_os_unmap_iomem
|-> acpi_os_map_cleanup
|-> synchronize_rcu_expedited
The kernel showing this callchain was built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y,
which caused the code to try using workqueues before they were
initialized, which did not go well.
This commit therefore reworks RCU to permit synchronous grace periods
to proceed during this mid-boot phase. This commit is therefore a
fix to a regression introduced in v4.9, and is therefore being put
forward post-merge-window in v4.10.
This commit sets a flag from the existing rcu_scheduler_starting()
function which causes all synchronous grace periods to take the expedited
path. The expedited path now checks this flag, using the requesting task
to drive the expedited grace period forward during the mid-boot phase.
Finally, this flag is updated by a core_initcall() function named
rcu_exp_runtime_mode(), which causes the runtime codepaths to be used.
Note that this arrangement assumes that tasks are not sent POSIX signals
(or anything similar) from the time that the first task is spawned
through core_initcall() time.

In many cases in the RCU tree code, we iterate over the set of cpus for
a leaf node described by rcu_node::grplo and rcu_node::grphi, checking
per-cpu data for each cpu in this range. However, if the set of possible
cpus is sparse, some cpus described in this range are not possible, and
thus no per-cpu region will have been allocated (or initialised) for
them by the generic percpu code.
Erroneous accesses to a per-cpu area for these !possible cpus may fault
or may hit other data depending on the addressed generated when the
erroneous per cpu offset is applied. In practice, both cases have been
observed on arm64 hardware (the former being silent, but detectable with
additional patches).
To avoid issues resulting from this, we must iterate over the set of
*possible* cpus for a given leaf node. This patch add a new helper,
for_each_leaf_node_possible_cpu, to enable this. As iteration is often
intertwined with rcu_node local bitmask manipulation, a new
leaf_node_cpu_bit helper is added to make this simpler and more
consistent. The RCU tree code is made to use both of these where
appropriate.
Without this patch, running reboot at a shell can result in an oops

The current mutex-based funnel-locking approach used by expedited grace
periods is subject to severe unfairness. The problem arises when a
few tasks, making a path from leaves to root, all wake up before other
tasks do. A new task can then follow this path all the way to the root,
which needlessly delays tasks whose grace period is done, but who do
not happen to acquire the lock quickly enough.
This commit avoids this problem by maintaining per-rcu_node wait queues,
along with a per-rcu_node counter that tracks the latest grace period
sought by an earlier task to visit this node. If that grace period
would satisfy the current task, instead of proceeding up the tree,
it waits on the current rcu_node structure using a pair of wait queues
provided for that purpose. This decouples awakening of old tasks from
the arrival of new tasks.
If the wakeups prove to be a bottleneck, additional kthreads can be
brought to bear for that purpose.

As of commit dae6e64d2b ("rcu: Introduce proper blocking to no-CBs kthreads
GP waits") the RCU subsystem started making use of wait queues.
Here we convert all additions of RCU wait queues to use simple wait queues,
since they don't need the extra overhead of the full wait queue features.
Originally this was done for RT kernels[1], since we would get things like...

...and hence simple wait queues were deployed on RT out of necessity
(as simple wait uses a raw lock), but mainline might as well take
advantage of the more streamline support as well.
[1] This is a carry forward of work from v3.10-rt; the original conversion
was by Thomas on an earlier -rt version, and Sebastian extended it to
additional post-3.10 added RCU waiters; here I've added a commit log and
unified the RCU changes into one, and uprev'd it to match mainline RCU.

rcu_nocb_gp_cleanup() is called while holding rnp->lock. Currently,
this is okay because the wake_up_all() in rcu_nocb_gp_cleanup() will
not enable the IRQs. lockdep is happy.
By switching over using swait this is not true anymore. swake_up_all()
enables the IRQs while processing the waiters. __do_softirq() can now
run and will eventually call rcu_process_callbacks() which wants to
grap nrp->lock.
Let's move the rcu_nocb_gp_cleanup() call outside the lock before we
switch over to swait.
If we would hold the rnp->lock and use swait, lockdep reports

In patch:
"rcu: Add transitivity to remaining rcu_node ->lock acquisitions"
All locking operations on rcu_node::lock are replaced with the wrappers
because of the need of transitivity, which indicates we should never
write code using LOCK primitives alone(i.e. without a proper barrier
following) on rcu_node::lock outside those wrappers. We could detect
this kind of misuses on rcu_node::lock in the future by adding __private
modifier on rcu_node::lock.
To privatize rcu_node::lock, unlock wrappers are also needed. Replacing
spinlock unlocks with these wrappers not only privatizes rcu_node::lock
but also makes it easier to figure out critical sections of rcu_node.
This patch adds __private modifier to rcu_node::lock and makes every
access to it wrapped by ACCESS_PRIVATE(). Besides, unlock wrappers are
added and raw_spin_unlock(&rnp->lock) and its friends are replaced with
those wrappers.

Now that the rcu_state structure's ->rda field is compile-time initialized,
there is no need to pass the per-CPU rcu_data structure into rcu_init_one().
This commit therefore eliminates this now-unused parameter.

We need the scheduler's fastpaths to be, well, fast, and unnecessarily
disabling and re-enabling interrupts is not necessarily consistent with
this goal. Especially given that there are regions of the scheduler that
already have interrupts disabled.
This commit therefore moves the call to rcu_note_context_switch()
to one of the interrupts-disabled regions of the scheduler, and
removes the now-redundant disabling and re-enabling of interrupts from
rcu_note_context_switch() and the functions it calls.

[ paulmck: Shift rcu_note_context_switch() to avoid deadlock, as suggested
by Peter Zijlstra. ]
Currently, rcu_prepare_for_idle() checks for tick_nohz_active, even on
individual NOCBs CPUs, unless all CPUs are marked as NOCBs CPUs at build
time. This check is pointless on NOCBs CPUs because they never have any
callbacks posted, given that all of their callbacks are handed off to the
corresponding rcuo kthread. There is a check for individually designated
NOCBs CPUs, but it pointelessly follows the check for tick_nohz_active.
This commit therefore moves the check for individually designated NOCBs
CPUs up with the check for CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL.

Although expedited grace periods can be quite useful, and although their
OS jitter has been greatly reduced, they can still pose problems for
extreme real-time workloads. This commit therefore adds a rcu_normal
kernel boot parameter (which can also be manipulated via sysfs)
to suppress expedited grace periods, that is, to treat requests for
expedited grace periods as if they were requests for normal grace periods.
If both rcu_expedited and rcu_normal are specified, rcu_normal wins.
This means that if you are relying on expedited grace periods to speed up
boot, you will want to specify rcu_expedited on the kernel command line,
and then specify rcu_normal via sysfs once boot completes.

The rule is that all acquisitions of the rcu_node structure's ->lock
must provide transitivity: The lock is not acquired that frequently,
and sorting out exactly which required it and which did not would be
a maintenance nightmare. This commit therefore supplies the needed
transitivity to the remaining ->lock acquisitions.

Providing RCU's memory-ordering guarantees requires that the rcu_node
tree's locking provide transitive memory ordering, which the Linux kernel's
spinlocks currently do not provide unless smp_mb__after_unlock_lock()
is used. Having a separate smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() after each and
every lock acquisition is error-prone, hard to read, and a bit annoying,
so this commit provides wrapper functions that pull in the
smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() invocations.

This commit redirects synchronize_rcu_expedited()'s wait to

This commit makes the RCU CPU stall warning message print online/offline
indications immediately after the CPU number. A "O" indicates global
offline, a "." global online, and a "o" indicates RCU believes that the
CPU is offline for the current grace period and "." otherwise, and an
"N" indicates that RCU believes that the CPU will be offline for the
next grace period, and "." otherwise, all right after the CPU number.
So for CPU 10, you would normally see "10-...:" indicating that everything
believes that the CPU is online.

of the current expedited grace period, and an "N" that RCU currently
believes that it will perceive the CPU as being online at the beginning
of the next expedited grace period, with "." otherwise for all three

As we now have rcu_callback_t typedefs as the type of rcu callbacks, we
should use it in call_rcu*() and friends as the type of parameters. This
could save us a few lines of code and make it clear which function
requires an rcu callbacks rather than other callbacks as its argument.
Besides, this can also help cscope to generate a better database for
code reading.

This commit converts the rcu_data structure's ->cpu_no_qs field
to a union. The bytewise side of this union allows individual access
to indications as to whether this CPU needs to find a quiescent state
for a normal (.norm) and/or expedited (.exp) grace period. The setwise
side of the union allows testing whether or not a quiescent state is
needed at all, for either type of grace period.
For now, only .norm is used. A later commit will introduce the expedited
usage.

This commit inverts the sense of the rcu_data structure's ->passed_quiesce
field and renames it to ->cpu_no_qs. This will allow a later commit to
use an "aggregate OR" operation to test expedited as well as normal grace
periods without added overhead.

An upcoming commit needs to invert the sense of the ->passed_quiesce
rcu_data structure field, so this commit is taking this opportunity
to clarify things a bit by renaming ->qs_pending to ->core_needs_qs.
So if !rdp->core_needs_qs, then this CPU need not concern itself with
quiescent states, in particular, it need not acquire its leaf rcu_node
structure's ->lock to check. Otherwise, it needs to report the next
quiescent state.

The current preemptible-RCU expedited grace-period algorithm invokes
synchronize_sched_expedited() to enqueue all tasks currently running
in a preemptible-RCU read-side critical section, then waits for all the
->blkd_tasks lists to drain. This works, but results in both an IPI and
a double context switch even on CPUs that do not happen to be running
in a preemptible RCU read-side critical section.
This commit implements a new algorithm that causes less OS jitter.
This new algorithm IPIs all online CPUs that are not idle (from an
RCU perspective), but refrains from self-IPIs. If a CPU receiving
this IPI is not in a preemptible RCU read-side critical section (or
is just now exiting one), it pushes quiescence up the rcu_node tree,
otherwise, it sets a flag that will be handled by the upcoming outermost
rcu_read_unlock(), which will then push quiescence up the tree.
The expedited grace period must of course wait on any pre-existing blocked
readers, and newly blocked readers must be queued carefully based on
the state of both the normal and the expedited grace periods. This
new queueing approach also avoids the need to update boost state,
courtesy of the fact that blocked tasks are no longer ever migrated to
the root rcu_node structure.
