If a CPU is running either a userspace application or a guest OS in
nohz_full mode, it is possible for a system call to occur just as an
RCU grace period is starting. If that CPU also has the scheduling-clock
tick enabled for any reason (such as a second runnable task), and if the
system was booted with rcutree.use_softirq=0, then RCU can add insult to
injury by awakening that CPU's rcuc kthread, resulting in yet another
task and yet more OS jitter due to switching to that task, running it,
and switching back.
In addition, in the common case where that system call is not of
excessively long duration, awakening the rcuc task is pointless.
This pointlessness is due to the fact that the CPU will enter an extended
quiescent state upon returning to the userspace application or guest OS.
In this case, the rcuc kthread cannot do anything that the main RCU
grace-period kthread cannot do on its behalf, at least if it is given
a few additional milliseconds (for example, given the time duration
specified by rcutree.jiffies_till_first_fqs, give or take scheduling
delays).
This commit therefore adds a rcutree.nohz_full_patience_delay kernel
boot parameter that specifies the grace period age (in milliseconds,
rounded to jiffies) before which RCU will refrain from awakening the
rcuc kthread. Preliminary experimentation suggests a value of 1000,
that is, one second. Increasing rcutree.nohz_full_patience_delay will
increase grace-period latency and in turn increase memory footprint,
so systems with constrained memory might choose a smaller value.
Systems with less-aggressive OS-jitter requirements might choose the
default value of zero, which keeps the traditional immediate-wakeup
behavior, thus avoiding increases in grace-period latency.

When the grace period kthread checks the extended quiescent state
counter of a CPU, full ordering is necessary to ensure that either:
* If the GP kthread observes the remote target in an extended quiescent
state, then that target must observe all accesses prior to the current
grace period, including the current grace period sequence number, once
it exits that extended quiescent state.
or:
* If the GP kthread observes the remote target NOT in an extended
quiescent state, then the target further entering in an extended
quiescent state must observe all accesses prior to the current
grace period, including the current grace period sequence number, once
it enters that extended quiescent state.
This ordering is enforced through a full memory barrier placed right
before taking the first EQS snapshot. However this is superfluous
because the snapshot is taken while holding the target's rnp lock which
provides the necessary ordering through its chain of
smp_mb__after_unlock_lock().
Remove the needless explicit barrier before the snapshot and put a
comment about the implicit barrier newly relied upon here.

observing that EQS must also observe all accesses performed by the
target prior it entering in EQS.
This ordering is explicitly performed both on the first EQS snapshot
and on the second one as well through the combination of a preceding
full barrier followed by an acquire read. However the second snapshot's
full memory barrier is redundant and not needed to enforce the above
guarantees:
GP kthread Remote target
---- -----
// Access prior GP
WRITE_ONCE(A, 1)
// first snapshot
smp_mb()
x = smp_load_acquire(EQS)
// Access prior GP
WRITE_ONCE(B, 1)
// EQS enter
// implied full barrier by atomic_add_return()
atomic_add_return(RCU_DYNTICKS_IDX, EQS)
// implied full barrier by atomic_add_return()
READ_ONCE(A)
// second snapshot
y = smp_load_acquire(EQS)
z = READ_ONCE(B)
If the GP kthread above fails to observe the remote target in EQS
(x not in EQS), the remote target will observe A == 1 after further
entering in EQS. Then the second snapshot taken by the GP kthread only
need to be an acquire read in order to observe z == 1.
Therefore remove the needless full memory barrier on second snapshot.

A call to a synchronize_rcu() can be optimized from a latency
point of view. Workloads which depend on this can benefit of it.
The delay of wakeme_after_rcu() callback, which unblocks a waiter,
depends on several factors:
- how fast a process of offloading is started. Combination of:
- !CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU/CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU;
- !CONFIG_RCU_LAZY/CONFIG_RCU_LAZY;
- other.
- when started, invoking path is interrupted due to:
- time limit;
- need_resched();
- if limit is reached.
- where in a nocb list it is located;
- how fast previous callbacks completed;
Example:
1. On our embedded devices i can easily trigger the scenario when
it is a last in the list out of ~3600 callbacks:
<snip>

2. We use cpuset/cgroup to classify tasks and assign them into
different cgroups. For example "backgrond" group which binds tasks
only to little CPUs or "foreground" which makes use of all CPUs.
Tasks can be migrated between groups by a request if an acceleration
is needed.
See below an example how "surfaceflinger" task gets migrated.
Initially it is located in the "system-background" cgroup which
allows to run only on little cores. In order to speed it up it
can be temporary moved into "foreground" cgroup which allows
to use big/all CPUs:
cgroup_attach_task():
-> cgroup_migrate_execute()
-> cpuset_can_attach()
-> percpu_down_write()
-> rcu_sync_enter()
-> synchronize_rcu()
-> now move tasks to the new cgroup.
-> cgroup_migrate_finish()
<snip>
rcuop/1-29 [000] ..... 7030.528570: rcu_invoke_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=00000000461605e0 func=wakeme_after_rcu.cfi_jt

<snip>
"Boosting a task" depends on synchronize_rcu() latency:
- first trace shows a completion of synchronize_rcu();
- second shows attaching a task to a new group;
- last shows a final step when migration occurs.
3. To address this drawback, maintain a separate track that consists
of synchronize_rcu() callers only. After completion of a grace period
users are deferred to a dedicated worker to process requests.
4. This patch reduces the latency of synchronize_rcu() approximately
by ~30-40% on synthetic tests. The real test case, camera launch time,
shows(time is in milliseconds):
1-run 542 vs 489 improvement 9%
2-run 540 vs 466 improvement 13%
3-run 518 vs 468 improvement 9%
4-run 531 vs 457 improvement 13%
5-run 548 vs 475 improvement 13%
6-run 509 vs 484 improvement 4%
Synthetic test(no "noise" from other callbacks):
Hardware: x86_64 64 CPUs, 64GB of memory
Linux-6.6
- 10K tasks(simultaneous);
- each task does(1000 loops)
synchronize_rcu();
kfree(p);
default: CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU: takes 54 seconds to complete all users;
patch: CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU: takes 35 seconds to complete all users.
Running 60K gives approximately same results on my setup. Please note
it is without any interaction with another type of callbacks, otherwise
it will impact a lot a default case.
5. By default it is disabled. To enable this perform one of the
below sequence:
echo 1 > /sys/module/rcutree/parameters/rcu_normal_wake_from_gp
or pass a boot parameter "rcutree.rcu_normal_wake_from_gp=1"

In order for RCU Tasks to reliably maintain per-CPU lists of exiting
tasks, those lists must be initialized before it is possible for tasks
to exit, especially given that the boot CPU is not necessarily CPU 0
(an example being, powerpc kexec() kernels). And at the time that
rcu_init_tasks_generic() is called, a task could potentially exit,
unconventional though that sort of thing might be.

Waiting for an expedited grace period and polling for an expedited
grace period both are operations that internally rely on the same
workqueue performing necessary asynchronous work.
However, a dependency chain is involved between those two operations,
as depicted below:
====== CPU 0 ======= ====== CPU 1 =======
synchronize_rcu_expedited()
exp_funnel_lock()
mutex_lock(&rcu_state.exp_mutex);
start_poll_synchronize_rcu_expedited
queue_work(rcu_gp_wq, &rnp->exp_poll_wq);
synchronize_rcu_expedited_queue_work()
queue_work(rcu_gp_wq, &rew->rew_work);
wait_event() // A, wait for &rew->rew_work completion
mutex_unlock() // B
//======> switch to kworker
sync_rcu_do_polled_gp() {
synchronize_rcu_expedited()
exp_funnel_lock()
mutex_lock(&rcu_state.exp_mutex); // C, wait B
....
} // D
Since workqueues are usually implemented on top of several kworkers
handling the queue concurrently, the above situation wouldn't deadlock
most of the time because A then doesn't depend on D. But in case of
memory stress, a single kworker may end up handling alone all the works
in a serialized way. In that case the above layout becomes a problem
because A then waits for D, closing a circular dependency:
A -> D -> C -> B -> A
This however only happens when CONFIG_RCU_EXP_KTHREAD=n. Indeed
synchronize_rcu_expedited() is otherwise implemented on top of a kthread
worker while polling still relies on rcu_gp_wq workqueue, breaking the
above circular dependency chain.
Fix this with making expedited grace period to always rely on kthread
worker. The workqueue based implementation is essentially a duplicate
anyway now that the per-node initialization is performed by per-node
kthread workers.
Meanwhile the CONFIG_RCU_EXP_KTHREAD switch is still kept around to
manage the scheduler policy of these kthread workers.

The second part is certainly less scalable and efficient beyond a single

- If the callback is enqueued in the bypass list, IRQs are re-enabled
implictly by rcu_nocb_try_bypass()
- If the callback is enqueued in the normal list, IRQs are re-enabled
implicitly by __call_rcu_nocb_wake()
* If the CPU is NOT in nocb mode, IRQs are reenabled explicitly from call_rcu()
This makes the code a bit hard to follow, especially as it interleaves
with nocb locking.
To make the IRQ flags coverage clearer and also in order to prepare for
moving all the nocb enqueue code to its own function, always re-enable
the IRQ flags explicitly from call_rcu().

A full barrier is issued from nocb_gp_wait() upon callbacks advancing
to order grace period completion with callbacks execution.
However these two events are already ordered by the
smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() barrier within the call to
raw_spin_lock_rcu_node() that is necessary for callbacks advancing to
happen.
The following litmus test shows the kind of guarantee that this barrier
provides:
C smp_mb__after_unlock_lock
{}
// rcu_gp_cleanup()
P0(spinlock_t *rnp_lock, int *gpnum)
{
// Grace period cleanup increase gp sequence number
spin_lock(rnp_lock);
WRITE_ONCE(*gpnum, 1);
spin_unlock(rnp_lock);
}
// nocb_gp_wait()
P1(spinlock_t *rnp_lock, spinlock_t *nocb_lock, int *gpnum, int *cb_ready)
{
int r1;
// Call rcu_advance_cbs() from nocb_gp_wait()
spin_lock(nocb_lock);
spin_lock(rnp_lock);
smp_mb__after_unlock_lock();
r1 = READ_ONCE(*gpnum);
WRITE_ONCE(*cb_ready, 1);
spin_unlock(rnp_lock);
spin_unlock(nocb_lock);
}
// nocb_cb_wait()
P2(spinlock_t *nocb_lock, int *cb_ready, int *cb_executed)
{
int r2;
// rcu_do_batch() -> rcu_segcblist_extract_done_cbs()
spin_lock(nocb_lock);
r2 = READ_ONCE(*cb_ready);
spin_unlock(nocb_lock);
// Actual callback execution
WRITE_ONCE(*cb_executed, 1);
}
P3(int *cb_executed, int *gpnum)
{
int r3;
WRITE_ONCE(*cb_executed, 2);
smp_mb();
r3 = READ_ONCE(*gpnum);
}
exists (1:r1=1 /\ 2:r2=1 /\ cb_executed=2 /\ 3:r3=0) (* Bad outcome. *)
Here the bad outcome only occurs if the smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() is
removed. This barrier orders the grace period completion against
callbacks advancing and even later callbacks invocation, thanks to the
opportunistic propagation via the ->nocb_lock to nocb_cb_wait().
Therefore the smp_mb() placed after callbacks advancing can be safely
removed.

When the CPU goes idle for the last time during the CPU down hotplug
process, RCU reports a final quiescent state for the current CPU. If
this quiescent state propagates up to the top, some tasks may then be
woken up to complete the grace period: the main grace period kthread
and/or the expedited main workqueue (or kworker).
If those kthreads have a SCHED_FIFO policy, the wake up can indirectly
arm the RT bandwith timer to the local offline CPU. Since this happens
after hrtimers have been migrated at CPUHP_AP_HRTIMERS_DYING stage, the
timer gets ignored. Therefore if the RCU kthreads are waiting for RT
bandwidth to be available, they may never be actually scheduled.
This triggers TREE03 rcutorture hangs:
rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt self-detected stall on CPU

The situation can't be solved with just unpinning the timer. The hrtimer
infrastructure and the nohz heuristics involved in finding the best
remote target for an unpinned timer would then also need to handle
enqueues from an offline CPU in the most horrendous way.
So fix this on the RCU side instead and defer the wake up to an online
CPU if it's too late for the local one.

If an rcutorture test scenario creates an fqs_task kthread, it will
periodically invoke rcu_force_quiescent_state() in order to start
force-quiescent-state (FQS) operations. However, an FQS operation
will be started even if there is no RCU grace period in progress.
Although testing FQS operations startup when there is no grace period in
progress is necessary, it need not happen all that often. This commit
therefore causes rcu_force_quiescent_state() to take an early exit
if there is no grace period in progress.
Note that there will still be attempts to start an FQS scan in the
absence of a grace period because the grace period might end right
after the rcu_force_quiescent_state() function's check. In actual
testing, this happens about once every ten minutes, which should
provide adequate testing.

This will be used by RCU-tasks whose vision of an offline CPU should
reasonably match the one of RCU core.

Commit 851a723e45 ("sched: Always clear user_cpus_ptr in
do_set_cpus_allowed()") added a kfree() call to free any user
provided affinity mask, if present. It was changed later to use
kfree_rcu() in commit 9a5418bc48 ("sched/core: Use kfree_rcu()
in do_set_cpus_allowed()") to avoid a circular locking dependency
problem.
It turns out that even kfree_rcu() isn't safe for avoiding
circular locking problem. As reported by kernel test robot,
the following circular locking dependency now exists:
&rdp->nocb_lock --> rcu_node_0 --> &rq->__lock
Solve this by breaking the rcu_node_0 --> &rq->__lock chain by moving
the resched_cpu() out from under rcu_node lock.

rcu_report_dead() has to be called locally by the CPU that is going to
exit the RCU state machine. Passing a cpu argument here is error-prone
and leaves the possibility for a racy remote call.
Use local access instead.

rcu_report_dead() is the last RCU word from the CPU down through the
hotplug path. It is called in the idle loop right before the CPU shuts
down for good. Because it removes the CPU from the grace period state
machine and reports an ultimate quiescent state if necessary, no further
use of RCU is allowed. Therefore it is expected that IRQs are disabled
upon calling this function and are not to be re-enabled again until the
CPU shuts down.
Remove the IRQs disablement from that function and verify instead that
it is actually called with IRQs disabled as it is expected at that
special point in the idle path.

Since the actual slab freeing is deferred when calling kvfree_rcu(), so
is the kmemleak_free() callback informing kmemleak of the object
deletion. From the perspective of the kvfree_rcu() caller, the object is
freed and it may remove any references to it. Since kmemleak does not
scan RCU internal data storing the pointer, it will report such objects
as leaks during the grace period.
Tell kmemleak to ignore such objects on the kvfree_call_rcu() path. Note
that the tiny RCU implementation does not have such issue since the
objects can be tracked from the rcu_ctrlblk structure.

When using rcutorture as a module, there are a number of conditions that
can abort the modprobe operation, for example, when attempting to run
both RCU CPU stall warning tests and forward-progress tests. This can
cause rcu_torture_cleanup() to be invoked on the unwind path out of
rcu_rcu_torture_init(), which will mean that rcu_gp_slow_unregister()
is invoked without a matching rcu_gp_slow_register(). This will cause
a splat because rcu_gp_slow_unregister() is passed rcu_fwd_cb_nodelay,
which does not match a NULL pointer.
This commit therefore forgives a mismatch involving a NULL pointer, thus
avoiding this false-positive splat.

When a structure containing an RCU callback rhp is (incorrectly) freed
and reallocated after rhp is passed to call_rcu(), it is not unusual for
rhp->func to be set to NULL. This defeats the debugging prints used by
__call_rcu_common() in kernels built with CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD=y,
which expect to identify the offending code using the identity of this
function.
And in kernels build without CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD=y, things
are even worse, as can be seen from this splat:

This provides the rough size of the memory block and the offset of the
rcu_head structure, which as least provides at least a few clues to help
locate the problem. If the problem is reproducible, additional slab

When running a series of stress tests all making heavy use of RCU,
it is all too possible to OOM the system when the prior test's RCU
callbacks don't get invoked until after the subsequent test starts.
One way of handling this is just a timed wait, but this fails when a
given CPU has so many callbacks queued that they take longer to invoke
than allowed for by that timed wait.
This commit therefore adds an rcutree.do_rcu_barrier module parameter that
is accessible from sysfs. Writing one of the many synonyms for boolean
"true" will cause an rcu_barrier() to be invoked, but will guarantee that
no more than one rcu_barrier() will be invoked per sixteenth of a second
via this mechanism. The flip side is that a given request might wait a
second or three longer than absolutely necessary, but only when there are
multiple uses of rcutree.do_rcu_barrier within a one-second time interval.
This commit unnecessarily serializes the rcu_barrier() machinery, given
that serialization is already provided by procfs. This has the advantage
of allowing throttled rcu_barrier() from other sources within the kernel.

There are instances where rcu_cpu_stall_reset() is called when jiffies
did not get a chance to update for a long time. Before jiffies is
updated, the CPU stall detector can go off triggering false-positives
where a just-started grace period appears to be ages old. In the past,
we disabled stall detection in rcu_cpu_stall_reset() however this got
changed [1]. This is resulting in false-positives in KGDB usecase [2].
Fix this by deferring the update of jiffies to the third run of the FQS
loop. This is more robust, as, even if rcu_cpu_stall_reset() is called
just before jiffies is read, we would end up pushing out the jiffies
read by 3 more FQS loops. Meanwhile the CPU stall detection will be
delayed and we will not get any false positives.

The rcu_tasks_invoke_cbs() function relies on queue_work_on() to silently
fall back to WORK_CPU_UNBOUND when the specified CPU is offline. However,
the queue_work_on() function's silent fallback mechanism relies on that
CPU having been online at some time in the past. When queue_work_on()
is passed a CPU that has never been online, workqueue lockups ensue,
which can be bad for your kernel's general health and well-being.
This commit therefore checks whether a given CPU has ever been online,
and, if not substitutes WORK_CPU_UNBOUND in the subsequent call to
queue_work_on(). Why not simply omit the queue_work_on() call entirely?
Because this function is flooding callback-invocation notifications
to all CPUs, and must deal with possibilities that include a sparse
cpu_possible_mask.
This commit also moves the setting of the rcu_data structure's
->beenonline field to rcu_cpu_starting(), which executes on the
incoming CPU before that CPU has ever enabled interrupts. This ensures
that the required workqueues are present. In addition, because the
incoming CPU has not yet enabled its interrupts, there cannot yet have
been any softirq handlers running on this CPU, which means that the
WARN_ON_ONCE(!rdp->beenonline) within the RCU_SOFTIRQ handler cannot
have triggered yet.

Currently, rcu_cpu_starting() is written so that it might be invoked
with interrupts enabled. However, it is always called when interrupts
are disabled, either by rcu_init(), notify_cpu_starting(), or from a
call point prior to the call to notify_cpu_starting().
But why bother requiring that interrupts be disabled? The purpose is
to allow the rcu_data structure's ->beenonline flag to be set after all
early processing has completed for the incoming CPU, thus allowing this
flag to be used to determine when workqueues have been set up for the
incoming CPU, while still allowing this flag to be used as a diagnostic
within rcu_core().
This commit therefore makes rcu_cpu_starting() rely on interrupts being
disabled.

Currently, if there are more than 100 ready-to-invoke RCU callbacks queued
on a given CPU, the rcu_do_batch() function sets a timeout for invocation
of the series. This timeout defaulting to three milliseconds, and may
be adjusted using the rcutree.rcu_resched_ns kernel boot parameter.
This timeout is checked using local_clock(), but the overhead of this
function combined with the common-case very small callback-invocation
overhead means that local_clock() is checked every 32nd invocation.
This works well except for longer-than average callbacks. For example,
a series of 500-microsecond-duration callbacks means that local_clock()
is checked only once every 16 milliseconds, which makes it difficult to
enforce a three-millisecond timeout.
This commit therefore adds a Kconfig option RCU_DOUBLE_CHECK_CB_TIME
that enables backup timeout checking using the coarser grained but
lighter weight jiffies. If the jiffies counter detects a timeout,
then local_clock() is consulted even if this is not the 32nd callback.
This prevents the aforementioned 16-millisecond latency blow.

Currently, a callback-invocation time limit is enforced only for
callbacks invoked from the softirq environment, the rationale being
that when callbacks are instead invoked from rcuc and rcuoc kthreads,
these callbacks cannot be holding up other softirq vectors.
Which is in fact true. However, if an rcuc kthread spends too much time
invoking callbacks, it can delay quiescent-state reports from its CPU,
which can also be a problem.
This commit therefore applies the callback-invocation time limit to
callback invocation from the rcuc kthreads as well as from softirq.

When the fill_page_cache_func() function is invoked, it assumes that

During this time, kfree_rcu_work() might run, and might fill in part or
all of this cache of pages, thus invalidating the fill_page_cache_func()
function's assumption.
This will not overfill the cache because put_cached_bnode() will reject

The add_ptr_to_bulk_krc_lock() function is invoked to allocate a new
kfree_rcu() page, also known as a kvfree_rcu_bulk_data structure.
The kfree_rcu_cpu structure's lock is used to protect this operation,
except that this lock must be momentarily dropped when allocating memory.
It is clearly important that the lock that is reacquired be the same
lock that was acquired initially via krc_this_cpu_lock().
Unfortunately, this same krc_this_cpu_lock() function is used to
re-acquire this lock, and if the task migrated to some other CPU during
the memory allocation, this will result in the kvfree_rcu_bulk_data

This commit therefore replaces that second call to krc_this_cpu_lock()

this list needs to wait for. This in turn prevents adding debug checks

This commit therefore adds a ->head_free_gp_snap field to the
kfree_rcu_cpu_work structure to record this grace-period number. It also

Memory passed to kvfree_rcu() that is to be freed is tracked by a
per-CPU kfree_rcu_cpu structure, which in turn contains pointers
to kvfree_rcu_bulk_data structures that contain pointers to memory
that has not yet been handed to RCU, along with an kfree_rcu_cpu_work
structure that tracks the memory that has already been handed to RCU.
These structures track three categories of memory: (1) Memory for
kfree(), (2) Memory for kvfree(), and (3) Memory for both that arrived
during an OOM episode. The first two categories are tracked in a
cache-friendly manner involving a dynamically allocated page of pointers
(the aforementioned kvfree_rcu_bulk_data structures), while the third
uses a simple (but decidedly cache-unfriendly) linked list through the
rcu_head structures in each block of memory.
On a given CPU, these three categories are handled as a unit, with that
CPU's kfree_rcu_cpu_work structure having one pointer for each of the
three categories. Clearly, new memory for a given category cannot be
placed in the corresponding kfree_rcu_cpu_work structure until any old
memory has had its grace period elapse and thus has been removed. And
the kfree_rcu_monitor() function does in fact check for this.
Except that the kfree_rcu_monitor() function checks these pointers one
at a time. This means that if the previous kfree_rcu() memory passed
to RCU had only category 1 and the current one has only category 2, the
kfree_rcu_monitor() function will send that current category-2 memory
along immediately. This can result in memory being freed too soon,
that is, out from under unsuspecting RCU readers.
To see this, consider the following sequence of events, in which:
o Task A on CPU 0 calls rcu_read_lock(), then uses "from_cset",
then is preempted.
o CPU 1 calls kfree_rcu(cset, rcu_head) in order to free "from_cset"
after a later grace period. Except that "from_cset" is freed
right after the previous grace period ended, so that "from_cset"
is immediately freed. Task A resumes and references "from_cset"'s
member, after which nothing good happens.

According to the commit log of the patch that added it to the kernel,
start_poll_synchronize_rcu_expedited() can be invoked very early, as
in long before rcu_init() has been invoked. But before rcu_init(),
the rcu_data structure's ->mynode field has not yet been initialized.
This means that the start_poll_synchronize_rcu_expedited() function's
attempt to set the CPU's leaf rcu_node structure's ->exp_seq_poll_rq
field will result in a segmentation fault.
This commit therefore causes start_poll_synchronize_rcu_expedited() to
set ->exp_seq_poll_rq only after rcu_init() has initialized all CPUs'
rcu_data structures' ->mynode fields. It also removes the check from
the rcu_init() function so that start_poll_synchronize_rcu_expedited(
is unconditionally invoked. Yes, this might result in an unnecessary
boot-time grace period, but this is down in the noise.

The rcu_accelerate_cbs() function is invoked by rcu_report_qs_rdp()
only if there is a grace period in progress that is still blocked

rcu_accelerate_cbs() should never return the value true, and thus that
this function should never set the needwake variable and in turn never
invoke rcu_gp_kthread_wake().
This commit therefore removes the needwake variable and the invocation
of rcu_gp_kthread_wake() in favor of a WARN_ON_ONCE() on the call to
rcu_accelerate_cbs(). The purpose of this new WARN_ON_ONCE() is to

During suspend, we see failures to suspend 1 in 300-500 suspends.
Looking closer, it appears that asynchronous RCU callbacks are being
queued as lazy even though synchronous callbacks are expedited. These
delays appear to not be very welcome by the suspend/resume code as
evidenced by these occasional suspend failures.
This commit modifies call_rcu() to check if rcu_async_should_hurry(),
which will return true if we are in suspend or in-kernel boot.
[ paulmck: Alphabetize local variables. ]
Ignoring the lazy hint makes the 3000 suspend/resume cycles pass
reliably on a 12th gen 12-core Intel CPU, and there is some evidence
that it also slightly speeds up boot performance.

Because RCU CPU stall warnings are driven from the scheduling-clock
interrupt handler, a workload consisting of a very large number of
short-duration hardware interrupts can result in misleading stall-warning
messages. On systems supporting only a single level of interrupts,
that is, where interrupts handlers cannot be interrupted, this can
produce misleading diagnostics. The stack traces will show the
innocent-bystander interrupted task, not the interrupts that are
at the very least exacerbating the stall.
This situation can be improved by displaying the number of interrupts
and the CPU time that they have consumed. Diagnosing other types
of stalls can be eased by also providing the count of softirqs and
the CPU time that they consumed as well as the number of context
switches and the task-level CPU time consumed.
Consider the following output given this change:
rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt self-detected stall on CPU
rcu: 0-....: (1250 ticks this GP) <omitted>
rcu: hardirqs softirqs csw/system
rcu: number: 624 45 0
rcu: cputime: 69 1 2425 ==> 2500(ms)
This output shows that the number of hard and soft interrupts is small,
there are no context switches, and the system takes up a lot of time. This
indicates that the current task is looping with preemption disabled.
The impact on system performance is negligible because snapshot is
recorded only once for all continuous RCU stalls.
This added debugging information is suppressed by default and can be
enabled by building the kernel with CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_CPUTIME=y or
by booting with rcupdate.rcu_cpu_stall_cputime=1.

period. These long-term-resident objects are immediately freed.
The remaining short-term-resident objects are queued for later freeing
using queue_rcu_work().
This change avoids delaying workqueue handlers with synchronize_rcu()
invocations. Yes, workqueue handlers are designed to handle blocking,

The schedule_delayed_monitor_work() function relies on the count of
objects queued into any given kfree_rcu_cpu structure. This count is
used to determine how quickly to schedule passing these objects to RCU.
There are three pipes where pointers can be placed. When any pipe is
offloaded, the kfree_rcu_cpu structure's ->count counter is set to zero,
which is wrong because the other pipes might still be non-empty.
This commit therefore maintains per-pipe counters, and introduces a

Currently all objects placed into a batch wait for a full grace period
to elapse after that batch is ready to send to RCU. However, this
can unnecessarily delay freeing of the first objects that were added
to the batch. After all, several RCU grace periods might have elapsed
since those objects were added, and if so, there is no point in further
deferring their freeing.
This commit therefore adds per-page grace-period snapshots which are
obtained from get_state_synchronize_rcu(). When the batch is ready
to be passed to call_rcu(), each page's snapshot is checked by passing
it to poll_state_synchronize_rcu(). If a given page's RCU grace period
has already elapsed, its objects are freed immediately by kvfree_rcu_bulk().
Otherwise, these objects are freed after a call to synchronize_rcu().
This approach requires that the pages be traversed in reverse order,
that is, the oldest ones first.

Currently, rcu_do_batch() sizes its batches based on the total number
of callbacks in the callback list. This can result in some strange
choices, for example, if there was 12,800 callbacks in the list, but
only 200 were ready to invoke, RCU would invoke 100 at a time (12,800
shifted down by seven bits).
A more measured approach would use the number that were actually ready
to invoke, an approach that has become feasible only recently given the
per-segment ->seglen counts in ->cblist.
This commit therefore bases the batch limit on the number of callbacks
ready to invoke instead of on the total number of callbacks.

rcu: Don't assert interrupts enabled too early in boot
The rcu_poll_gp_seq_end() and rcu_poll_gp_seq_end_unlocked() both check
that interrupts are enabled, as they normally should be when waiting for
an RCU grace period. Except that it is legal to wait for grace periods
during early boot, before interrupts have been enabled for the first time,
and polling for grace periods is required to work during this time.
This can result in false-positive lockdep splats in the presence of
boot-time-initiated tracing.
This commit therefore conditions those interrupts-enabled checks on
rcu_scheduler_active having advanced past RCU_SCHEDULER_INACTIVE, by
which time interrupts have been enabled.

Implement timer-based RCU callback batching (also known as lazy
callbacks). With this we save about 5-10% of power consumed due
to RCU requests that happen when system is lightly loaded or idle.
By default, all async callbacks (queued via call_rcu) are marked
lazy. An alternate API call_rcu_hurry() is provided for the few users,
for example synchronize_rcu(), that need the old behavior.
The batch is flushed whenever a certain amount of time has passed, or
the batch on a particular CPU grows too big. Also memory pressure will
flush it in a future patch.
To handle several corner cases automagically (such as rcu_barrier() and
hotplug), we re-use bypass lists which were originally introduced to
address lock contention, to handle lazy CBs as well. The bypass list
length has the lazy CB length included in it. A separate lazy CB length
counter is also introduced to keep track of the number of lazy CBs.

Running rcutorture with non-zero fqs_duration module parameter in a

The problem is that rcu_force_quiescent_state() uses __this_cpu_read()
in preemptible code instead of the proper raw_cpu_read(). This commit
therefore changes __this_cpu_read() to raw_cpu_read().

The commit 3fcd6a230f ("x86/cpu: Avoid cpuinfo-induced IPIing of
idle CPUs") introduced rcu_is_idle_cpu() in order to identify the
current CPU idle state. But commit f3eca381bd ("x86/aperfmperf:
Replace arch_freq_get_on_cpu()") switched to using MAX_SAMPLE_AGE,
so rcu_is_idle_cpu() is no longer used. This commit therefore removes it.

Making polled RCU grace periods account for expedited grace periods
required acquiring the leaf rcu_node structure's lock during early boot,
but after rcu_init() was called. This lock is irq-disabled, but the
code incorrectly assumes that irqs are always disabled when invoking
synchronize_rcu(). The exception is early boot before the scheduler has
started, which means that upon return from synchronize_rcu(), irqs will
be incorrectly enabled.
This commit fixes this bug by using irqsave/irqrestore locking primitives.

In preparation for RCU lazy changes, wake up the RCU nocb gp thread if
needed after an entrain. This change prevents the RCU barrier callback
from waiting in the queue for several seconds before the lazy callbacks
in front of it are serviced.

The rnp->qsmask is locklessly accessed from rcutree_dying_cpu(). This
may help avoid load tearing due to concurrent access, KCSAN
issues, and preserve sanity of people reading the mask in tracing.

The rcu_report_dead() function invokes rcu_report_exp_rdp() in order
to force an immediate expedited quiescent state on the outgoing
CPU, and then it invokes rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() to provide any
required deferred quiescent state of either sort. Because the call to
rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() provides the expedited RCU quiescent state if
requested, the call to rcu_report_exp_rdp() is potentially redundant.
One possible issue is a concurrent start of a new expedited RCU
grace period, but this situation is already handled correctly
by __sync_rcu_exp_select_node_cpus(). This function will detect
that the CPU is going offline via the error return from its call
to smp_call_function_single(). In that case, it will retry, and
eventually stop retrying due to rcu_report_exp_rdp() clearing the
->qsmaskinitnext bit corresponding to the target CPU. As a result,
__sync_rcu_exp_select_node_cpus() will report the necessary quiescent
state after dealing with any remaining CPU.
This change assumes that control does not enter rcu_report_dead() within
an RCU read-side critical section, but then again, the surviving call
to rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() has always made this assumption.
This commit therefore removes the call to rcu_report_exp_rdp(), thus
relying on rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() to handle both normal and expedited
quiescent states.
