rcu: Remove extraneous READ_ONCE()s from rcu_irq_{enter,exit}()
ftrace: Fix kmemleak in unregister_ftrace_graph
The read of ->dynticks_nmi_nesting in rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit()
is currently protected with READ_ONCE(). However, this protection is
unnecessary because (1) ->dynticks_nmi_nesting is updated only by the
current CPU, (2) Although NMI handlers can update this field, they reset
it back to its old value before return, and (3) Interrupts are disabled,
so nothing else can modify it. The value of ->dynticks_nmi_nesting is
thus effectively constant, and so no protection is required.
This commit therefore removes the READ_ONCE() protection from these
two accesses.

page fault (reading vmalloc area), and a page fault triggers rcu_irq_enter().

A number of architecture invoke rcu_irq_enter() on exception entry in

when the exception is from an idle or nohz_full CPU. This works, at
least unless the exception happens in an NMI handler. In that case,
rcu_nmi_enter() would already have exited the extended quiescent state,
which would mean that rcu_irq_enter() would (incorrectly) cause RCU
to think that it is again in an extended quiescent state. This will
in turn result in lockdep splats in response to later RCU read-side
critical sections.
This commit therefore causes rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit() to
take no action if there is an rcu_nmi_enter() in effect, thus avoiding
the unscheduled return to RCU quiescent state. This in turn should
make the kernel safe for on-demand RCU voyeurism.

"int" has to be sign extended to size_t.
2)

Other cases exist as well. Basically compiler is told that nr_cpu_ids

These RCU waits were set to use interruptible waits to avoid the kthreads
contributing to system load average, even though they are not interruptible
as they are spawned from a kthread. Use the new TASK_IDLE swaits which makes
our goal clear, and removes confusion about these paths possibly being
interruptible -- they are not.
When the system is idle the RCU grace-period kthread will spend all its time
blocked inside the swait_event_interruptible(). If the interruptible() was
not used, then this kthread would contribute to the load average. This means
that an idle system would have a load average of 2 (or 3 if PREEMPT=y),
rather than the load average of 0 that almost fifty years of UNIX has
conditioned sysadmins to expect.
The same argument applies to swait_event_interruptible_timeout() use. The
RCU grace-period kthread spends its time blocked inside this call while
waiting for grace periods to complete. In particular, if there was only one
busy CPU, but that CPU was frequently invoking call_rcu(), then the RCU
grace-period kthread would spend almost all its time blocked inside the
swait_event_interruptible_timeout(). This would mean that the load average
would be 2 rather than the expected 1 for the single busy CPU.

Tree RCU guarantees that every online CPU has a memory barrier between
any given grace period and any of that CPU's RCU read-side sections that
must be ordered against that grace period. Since RCU doesn't always
know where read-side critical sections are, the actual implementation
guarantees order against prior and subsequent non-idle non-offline code,
whether in an RCU read-side critical section or not. As a result, there
does not need to be a memory barrier at the end of synchronize_rcu()
and friends because the ordering internal to the grace period has
ordered every CPU's post-grace-period execution against each CPU's
pre-grace-period execution, again for all non-idle online CPUs.
In contrast, SRCU can have non-idle online CPUs that are completely
uninvolved in a given SRCU grace period, for example, a CPU that
never runs any SRCU read-side critical sections and took no part in
the grace-period processing. It is in theory possible for a given
synchronize_srcu()'s wakeup to be delivered to a CPU that was completely
uninvolved in the prior SRCU grace period, which could mean that the
code following that synchronize_srcu() would end up being unordered with
respect to both the grace period and any pre-existing SRCU read-side
critical sections.
This commit therefore adds an smp_mb() to the end of __synchronize_srcu(),
which prevents this scenario from occurring.

After adopting callbacks from a newly offlined CPU, the adopting CPU
checks to make sure that its callback list's count is zero only if the
list has no callbacks and vice versa. Unfortunately, it does so after
enabling interrupts, which means that false positives are possible due to
interrupt handlers invoking call_rcu(). Although these false positives
are improbable, rcutorture did make it happen once.

It is possible that the outgoing CPU is unaware of recent grace periods,
and so it is also possible that some of its pending callbacks are actually
ready to be invoked. The current callback-migration code would needlessly
force these callbacks to pass through another grace period. This commit
therefore invokes rcu_advance_cbs() on the outgoing CPU's callbacks in
order to give them full credit for having passed through any recent
grace periods.
This also fixes an odd theoretical bug where there are no callbacks in
the system except for those on the outgoing CPU, none of those callbacks
have yet been associated with a grace-period number, there is never again
another callback registered, and the surviving CPU never again takes a
scheduling-clock interrupt, never goes idle, and never enters nohz_full
userspace execution. Yes, this is (just barely) possible. It requires
that the surviving CPU be a nohz_full CPU, that its scheduler-clock
interrupt be shut off, and that it loop forever in the kernel. You get
bonus points if you can make this one happen! ;-)

The update of the ->expmaskinitnext and of ->ncpus are unsynchronized,
with the value of ->ncpus being incremented long before the corresponding
->expmaskinitnext mask is updated. If an RCU expedited grace period
sees ->ncpus change, it will update the ->expmaskinit masks from the new
->expmaskinitnext masks. But it is possible that ->ncpus has already
been updated, but the ->expmaskinitnext masks still have their old values.
For the current expedited grace period, no harm done. The CPU could not
have been online before the grace period started, so there is no need to
wait for its non-existent pre-existing readers.
But the next RCU expedited grace period is in a world of hurt. The value
of ->ncpus has already been updated, so this grace period will assume
that the ->expmaskinitnext masks have not changed. But they have, and
they won't be taken into account until the next never-been-online CPU
comes online. This means that RCU will be ignoring some CPUs that it
should be paying attention to.
The solution is to update ->ncpus and ->expmaskinitnext while holding
the ->lock for the rcu_node structure containing the ->expmaskinitnext
mask. Because smp_store_release() is now used to update ->ncpus and
smp_load_acquire() is now used to locklessly read it, if the expedited
grace period sees ->ncpus change, then the updating CPU has to
already be holding the corresponding ->lock. Therefore, when the
expedited grace period later acquires that ->lock, it is guaranteed
to see the new value of ->expmaskinitnext.
On the other hand, if the expedited grace period loads ->ncpus just
before an update, earlier full memory barriers guarantee that
the incoming CPU isn't far enough along to be running any RCU readers.
This commit therefore makes the required change.

RCU callbacks must be migrated away from an outgoing CPU, and this is
done near the end of the CPU-hotplug operation, after the outgoing CPU is
long gone. Unfortunately, this means that other CPU-hotplug callbacks
can execute while the outgoing CPU's callbacks are still immobilized
on the long-gone CPU's callback lists. If any of these CPU-hotplug
callbacks must wait, either directly or indirectly, for the invocation
of any of the immobilized RCU callbacks, the system will hang.
This commit avoids such hangs by migrating the callbacks away from the
outgoing CPU immediately upon its departure, shortly after the return
from __cpu_die() in takedown_cpu(). Thus, RCU is able to advance these
callbacks and invoke them, which allows all the after-the-fact CPU-hotplug
callbacks to wait on these RCU callbacks without risk of a hang.
While in the neighborhood, this commit also moves rcu_send_cbs_to_orphanage()
and rcu_adopt_orphan_cbs() under a pre-existing #ifdef to avoid including
dead code on the one hand and to avoid define-without-use warnings on the
other hand.

The handling of RCU's no-CBs CPUs has a maintenance headache, namely
that if call_rcu() is invoked with interrupts disabled, the rcuo kthread
wakeup must be defered to a point where we can be sure that scheduler
locks are not held. Of course, there are a lot of code paths leading
from an interrupts-disabled invocation of call_rcu(), and missing any
one of these can result in excessive callback-invocation latency, and
potentially even system hangs.
This commit therefore uses a timer to guarantee that the wakeup will
eventually occur. If one of the deferred-wakeup points kicks in, then
the timer is simply cancelled.
This commit also fixes up an incomplete removal of commits that were
intended to plug remaining exit paths, which should have the added
benefit of reducing the overhead of RCU's context-switch hooks. In
addition, it simplifies leader-to-follower callback-list handoff by
introducing locking. The call_rcu()-to-leader handoff continues to
use atomic operations in order to maintain good real-time latency for
common-case use of call_rcu().

Now that it is legal to invoke srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock()
for a given srcu_struct from both process context and {soft,}irq
handlers, it is time to test it. This commit therefore enables
testing of SRCU readers from rcutorture's timer handler, using in_task()
to determine whether or not it is safe to sleep in the SRCU read-side
critical sections.

The synchronize_rcu_tasks() and call_rcu_tasks() APIs are now available
regardless of kernel configuration, so this commit removes the
CONFIG_TASKS_RCU ifdef from rcuperf.c.

This commit adds printing of SRCU lock/unlock totals, which are just
the sums of the per-CPU counts. Saves a bit of mental arithmetic.

This commit gets rid of some ugly #ifdefs in rcutorture.c by moving
the SRCU status printing to the SRCU implementations.

The function process_srcu() is not invoked outside of srcutree.c, so
this commit makes it static and drops the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL().

Other than lockdep support, Tiny RCU has no need for the
scheduler status. However, Tiny SRCU will need this to control
boot-time behavior independent of lockdep. Therefore, this commit
moves rcu_scheduler_starting() from kernel/rcu/tiny_plugin.h to
kernel/rcu/srcutiny.c. This in turn allows the complete removal of
kernel/rcu/tiny_plugin.h.

Tiny RCU's job is to be tiny, so this commit removes its RCU CPU
stall warning code. After this, there is no longer any need for
rcu_sched_ctrlblk and rcu_bh_ctrlblk to be in tiny_plugin.h, so this
commit also moves them to tiny.c.

RCU's debugging Kconfig options are in the unintuitive location
lib/Kconfig.debug, and there are enough of them that it would be good for
them to be more centralized. This commit therefore extracts RCU's Kconfig
options from init/Kconfig into a new kernel/rcu/Kconfig.debug file.

The CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL, CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_NONE, and
CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ZERO Kconfig options are used only in testing and
are redundant with the rcu_nocbs= boot parameter. This commit therefore
removes these three Kconfig options and adjusts the rcutorture scripts
to use the boot parameter instead.

RCU's debugfs tracing used to be the only reasonable low-level debug
information available, but ftrace and event tracing has since surpassed
the RCU debugfs level of usefulness. This commit therefore removes
RCU's debugfs tracing.

Classic SRCU was only ever intended to be a fallback in case of issues
with Tree/Tiny SRCU, and the latter two are doing quite well in testing.
This commit therefore removes Classic SRCU.
