Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this cycle were:
- Continued user-access cleanups in the futex code.
- percpu-rwsem rewrite that uses its own waitqueue and atomic_t
instead of an embedded rwsem. This addresses a couple of
weaknesses, but the primary motivation was complications on the -rt
kernel.
- Introduce raw lock nesting detection on lockdep
(CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING=y), document the raw_lock vs. normal
lock differences. This too originates from -rt.
- Reuse lockdep zapped chain_hlocks entries, to conserve RAM
footprint on distro-ish kernels running into the "BUG:
MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAIN_HLOCKS too low!" depletion of the lockdep
chain-entries pool.
- Misc cleanups, smaller fixes and enhancements - see the changelog
for details"

Currently, rcu_barrier() ignores offline CPUs, However, it is possible
for an offline no-CBs CPU to have callbacks queued, and rcu_barrier()
must wait for those callbacks. This commit therefore makes rcu_barrier()
directly invoke the rcu_barrier_func() with interrupts disabled for such
CPUs. This requires passing the CPU number into this function so that
it can entrain the rcu_barrier() callback onto the correct CPU's callback
list, given that the code must instead execute on the current CPU.
While in the area, this commit fixes a bug where the first CPU's callback
might have been invoked before rcu_segcblist_entrain() returned, which
would also result in an early wakeup.

In default configutions, RCU currently waits at least 100 milliseconds
before asking cond_resched() and/or resched_rcu() for help seeking
quiescent states to end a grace period. But 100 milliseconds can be
one good long time during an RCU callback flood, for example, as can
happen when user processes repeatedly open and close files in a tight
loop. These 100-millisecond gaps in successive grace periods during a
callback flood can result in excessive numbers of callbacks piling up,
unnecessarily increasing memory footprint.
This commit therefore asks cond_resched() and/or resched_rcu() for help
as early as the first FQS scan when at least one of the CPUs has more
than 20,000 callbacks queued, a number that can be changed using the new
rcutree.qovld kernel boot parameter. An auxiliary qovld_calc variable
is used to avoid acquisition of locks that have not yet been initialized.
Early tests indicate that this reduces the RCU-callback memory footprint
during rcutorture floods by from 50% to 4x, depending on configuration.

The rcu_data structure's ->core_needs_qs field does not necessarily get
cleared in a timely fashion after the corresponding CPUs' quiescent state
has been reported. From a functional viewpoint, no harm done, but this
can result in excessive invocation of RCU core processing, as witnessed
by the kernel test robot, which saw greatly increased softirq overhead.
This commit therefore restores the rcu_report_qs_rdp() function's
clearing of this field, but only when running on the corresponding CPU.
Cases where some other CPU reports the quiescent state (for example, on
behalf of an idle CPU) are handled by setting this field appropriately
within the __note_gp_changes() function's end-of-grace-period checks.
This handling is carried out regardless of whether the end of a grace
period actually happened, thus handling the case where a CPU goes non-idle
after a quiescent state is reported on its behalf, but before the grace
period ends. This fix also avoids cross-CPU updates to ->core_needs_qs,
While in the area, this commit changes the __note_gp_changes() need_gp
variable's name to need_qs because it is a quiescent state that is needed
from the CPU in question.

The kfree_rcu() logic can be improved further by using kfree_bulk()
interface along with "basic batching support" introduced earlier.
The are at least two advantages of using "bulk" interface:
- in case of large number of kfree_rcu() requests kfree_bulk()
reduces the per-object overhead caused by calling kfree()
per-object.
- reduces the number of cache-misses due to "pointer chasing"
between objects which can be far spread between each other.
This approach defines a new kfree_rcu_bulk_data structure that
stores pointers in an array with a specific size. Number of entries
in that array depends on PAGE_SIZE making kfree_rcu_bulk_data
structure to be exactly one page.
Since it deals with "block-chain" technique there is an extra
need in dynamic allocation when a new block is required. Memory
is allocated with GFP_NOWAIT | __GFP_NOWARN flags, i.e. that
allows to skip direct reclaim under low memory condition to
prevent stalling and fails silently under high memory pressure.
The "emergency path" gets maintained when a system is run out of
memory. In that case objects are linked into regular list.
The "rcuperf" was run to analyze this change in terms of memory
consumption and kfree_bulk() throughput.

Currently rcu_check_gp_start_stall() complains if a grace period takes
too long to start, where "too long" is roughly one RCU CPU stall-warning
interval. This has worked well, but there are some debugging Kconfig
options (such as CONFIG_EFI_PGT_DUMP=y) that can make booting take a
very long time, so much so that the stall-warning interval has expired
before RCU's grace-period kthread has even been spawned.
This commit therefore resets the rcu_state.gp_req_activity and
rcu_state.gp_activity timestamps just before the grace-period kthread
is spawned, and modifies the checks and adds ordering to ensure that
if rcu_check_gp_start_stall() sees that the grace-period kthread
has been spawned, that it will also see the resets applied to the
rcu_state.gp_req_activity and rcu_state.gp_activity timestamps.

[ paulmck: Simplify grace-period wakeup check per Steve Rostedt feedback. ]
The rcu_barrier_callback() function does an atomic_dec_and_test(), and
if it is the last CPU to check in, does the required wakeup. Either way,
it does an event trace. Unfortunately, this is susceptible to the
following sequence of events:
o CPU 0 invokes rcu_barrier_callback(), but atomic_dec_and_test()
says that it is not last. But at this point, CPU 0 is delayed,
perhaps due to an NMI, SMI, or vCPU preemption.
o CPU 1 invokes rcu_barrier_callback(), and atomic_dec_and_test()
says that it is last. So CPU 1 traces completion and does
the needed wakeup.
o The awakened rcu_barrier() function does cleanup and releases
rcu_state.barrier_mutex.
o Another CPU now acquires rcu_state.barrier_mutex and starts
another round of rcu_barrier() processing, including updating
rcu_state.barrier_sequence.
o CPU 0 gets its act back together and does its tracing. Except
that rcu_state.barrier_sequence has already been updated, so
its tracing is incorrect and probably quite confusing.
(Wait! Why did this CPU check in twice for one rcu_barrier()
invocation???)
This commit therefore causes rcu_barrier_callback() to take a
snapshot of the value of rcu_state.barrier_sequence before invoking
atomic_dec_and_test(), thus guaranteeing that the event-trace output
is sensible, even if the timing of the event-trace output might still
be confusing. (Wait! Why did the old rcu_barrier() complete before
all of its CPUs checked in???) But being that this is RCU, only so much
confusion can reasonably be eliminated.
This data race was reported by KCSAN. Not appropriate for backporting
due to failure being unlikely and due to the mild consequences of the
failure, namely a confusing event trace.

Then the grace-period kthread might notice that the CPU in question had

During testing, it was observed that amount of memory consumed due
kfree_rcu() batching is 300-400MB. Previously we had only a single
head_free pointer pointing to the list of rcu_head(s) that are to be
freed after a grace period. Until this list is drained, we cannot queue
any more objects on it since such objects may not be ready to be
reclaimed when the worker thread eventually gets to drainin g the
head_free list.
We can do better by maintaining multiple lists as done by this patch.
Testing shows that memory consumption came down by around 100-150MB with
just adding another list. Adding more than 1 additional list did not

Recently a discussion about stability and performance of a system
involving a high rate of kfree_rcu() calls surfaced on the list [1]
which led to another discussion how to prepare for this situation.
This patch adds basic batching support for kfree_rcu(). It is "basic"
because we do none of the slab management, dynamic allocation, code
moving or any of the other things, some of which previous attempts did
[2]. These fancier improvements can be follow-up patches and there are
different ideas being discussed in those regards. This is an effort to
start simple, and build up from there. In the future, an extension to
use kfree_bulk and possibly per-slab batching could be done to further
improve performance due to cache-locality and slab-specific bulk free
optimizations. By using an array of pointers, the worker thread
processing the work would need to read lesser data since it does not
need to deal with large rcu_head(s) any longer.
Torture tests follow in the next patch and show improvements of around
5x reduction in number of grace periods on a 16 CPU system. More
details and test data are in that patch.
There is an implication with rcu_barrier() with this patch. Since the
kfree_rcu() calls can be batched, and may not be handed yet to the RCU
machinery in fact, the monitor may not have even run yet to do the
queue_rcu_work(), there seems no easy way of implementing rcu_barrier()
to wait for those kfree_rcu()s that are already made. So this means a
kfree_rcu() followed by an rcu_barrier() does not imply that memory will
be freed once rcu_barrier() returns.
Another implication is higher active memory usage (although not
run-away..) until the kfree_rcu() flooding ends, in comparison to
without batching. More details about this are in the second patch which
adds an rcuperf test.
Finally, in the near future we will get rid of kfree_rcu() special casing
within RCU such as in rcu_do_batch and switch everything to just
batching. Currently we don't do that since timer subsystem is not yet up
and we cannot schedule the kfree_rcu() monitor as the timer subsystem's
lock are not initialized. That would also mean getting rid of
kfree_call_rcu_nobatch() entirely.

copy is performed non-atomically, resulting in a data-race if `dynticks`
is updated concurrently.

The RCU-specific resched_cpu() function sends a resched IPI to the
specified CPU, which can be used to force the tick on for a given
nohz_full CPU. This is needed when this nohz_full CPU is looping in the
kernel while blocking the current grace period. However, for the tick
to actually be forced on in all cases, that CPU's rcu_data structure's
->rcu_urgent_qs flag must be set beforehand. This commit therefore
causes rcu_implicit_dynticks_qs() to set this flag prior to invoking
resched_cpu() on a holdout nohz_full CPU.

If a nohz_full CPU is idle or executing in userspace, it makes good sense
to keep it out of RCU core processing. After all, the RCU grace-period
kthread can see its quiescent states and all of its callbacks are
offloaded, so there is nothing for RCU core processing to do.
However, if a nohz_full CPU is executing in kernel space, the RCU
grace-period kthread cannot do anything for it, so such a CPU must report
its own quiescent states. This commit therefore makes nohz_full CPUs
skip RCU core processing only if the scheduler-clock interrupt caught
them in idle or in userspace.

Commit 671a63517c ("rcu: Avoid unnecessary softirq when system
is idle") fixed a bug that could result in an indefinite number of
unnecessary invocations of the RCU_SOFTIRQ handler at the trailing edge
of a scheduler-clock interrupt. However, the fix introduced off-CPU
stores to ->core_needs_qs. These writes did not conflict with the
on-CPU stores because the CPU's leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock was
held across all such stores. However, the loads from ->core_needs_qs
were not promoted to READ_ONCE() and, worse yet, the code loading from
->core_needs_qs was written assuming that it was only ever updated by
the corresponding CPU. So operation has been robust, but only by luck.
This situation is therefore an accident waiting to happen.
This commit therefore takes a different approach. Instead of clearing
->core_needs_qs from the grace-period kthread's force-quiescent-state
processing, it modifies the rcu_pending() function to suppress the
rcu_sched_clock_irq() function's call to invoke_rcu_core() if there is no
grace period in progress. This avoids the infinite needless RCU_SOFTIRQ
handlers while still keeping all accesses to ->core_needs_qs local to
the corresponding CPU.

In some cases, tracing shows that need_heavy_qs is still set even though
urgent_qs was cleared upon reporting of a quiescent state. One such
case is when the softirq reports that a CPU has passed quiescent state.
Commit 671a63517c ("rcu: Avoid unnecessary softirq when system is
idle") fixed a bug where core_needs_qs was not being cleared. In order
to avoid running into similar situations with the urgent-grace-period
flags, this commit causes rcu_disable_urgency_upon_qs(), previously
rcu_disable_tick_upon_qs(), to clear the urgency hints, ->rcu_urgent_qs
and ->rcu_need_heavy_qs. Note that it is possible for CPUs to go
offline with these urgency hints still set. This is handled because
rcu_disable_urgency_upon_qs() is also invoked during the online process.
Because these hints can be cleared both by the corresponding CPU and by
the grace-period kthread, this commit also adds a number of READ_ONCE()
and WRITE_ONCE() calls.
Tested overnight with rcutorture running for 60 minutes on all
configurations of RCU.

There is interrupt-exit code that forces on the tick for nohz_full CPUs
failing to respond to the current grace period in a timely fashion.
However, this code must compare ->dynticks_nmi_nesting to the value 2
in the interrupt-exit fastpath. This commit therefore moves this code
to the interrupt-entry fastpath, where a lighter-weight comparison to
zero may be used.

CPUs running for long time periods in the kernel in nohz_full mode
might leave the scheduling-clock interrupt disabled for then full
duration of their in-kernel execution. This can (among other things)
delay grace periods. This commit therefore forces the tick back on
for any nohz_full CPU that is failing to pass through a quiescent state
upon return from interrupt, which the resched_cpu() will induce.

During an actual call_rcu() flood, there would be frequent trips to
userspace (in-kernel call_rcu() floods must be otherwise housebroken).
Userspace execution on nohz_full CPUs implies an RCU dyntick idle/not-idle
transition pair, so this commit adds emulation of that pair.

CPU-hotplug removal operations run the multi_cpu_stop() function, which
relies on the scheduler to gain control from whatever is running on the
various online CPUs, including any nohz_full CPUs running long loops in
kernel-mode code. Lack of the scheduler-clock interrupt on such CPUs
can delay multi_cpu_stop() for several minutes and can also result in
RCU CPU stall warnings. This commit therefore causes CPU-hotplug removal
operations to enable the scheduler-clock interrupt on all online CPUs.

When multi_cpu_stop() loops waiting for other tasks, it can trigger an RCU
CPU stall warning. This can be misleading because what is instead needed
is information on whatever task is blocking multi_cpu_stop(). This commit
therefore inserts an RCU quiescent state into the multi_cpu_stop()
function's waitloop.

Callback invocation can run for a significant time period, and within
CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y kernels, this period will be devoid of scheduler-clock
interrupts. In-kernel execution without such interrupts can cause all
manner of malfunction, with RCU CPU stall warnings being but one result.
This commit therefore forces scheduling-clock interrupts on whenever more
than a few RCU callbacks are invoked. Because offloaded callback invocation
can be preempted, this forcing is withdrawn on each context switch. This
in turn requires that the loop invoking RCU callbacks reiterate the forcing
periodically.

being offlined.
- Convert the cpuset_mutex to percpu_rwsem, to allow it to be used from
setscheduler() system calls without creating global serialization.
Add new synchronization between cpuset topology-changing events and
the deadline acceptance tests in setscheduler(), which were broken
before.
- Rework the active_mm state machine to be less confusing and more
optimal.
- Rework (simplify) the pick_next_task() slowpath.
- Improve load-balancing on AMD EPYC systems.
