Paul E. McKenney 37f62d7cf0 rcu: Move rcu_cpu_kthread_task to rcu_data structure
Given that RCU has a perfectly good per-CPU rcu_data structure, most
per-CPU quantities should be stored there.

This commit therefore moves the rcu_cpu_kthread_task per-CPU variable to
the rcu_data structure.  This also makes this variable unconditionally
present, which should be acceptable given the memory reduction due to the
RCU flavor consolidation and also due to simplifications this will enable.

Paul E. McKenney c51d7b5e6c rcutorture: Print time since GP end upon forward-progress failure
If rcutorture's forward-progress tests fail while a grace period is not
in progress, it is useful to print the time since the last grace period
ended as a way to detect failure to launch a new grace period.  This
commit therefore makes this change.

Paul E. McKenney 903ee83d91 rcu: Account for nocb-CPU callback counts in RCU CPU stall warnings
The RCU CPU stall warnings print an estimate of the total number of
RCU callbacks queued in the system, but this estimate leaves out
the callbacks queued for nocbs CPUs.  This commit therefore introduces
rcu_get_n_cbs_cpu(), which gives an accurate callback estimate for
both nocbs and normal CPUs, and uses this new function as needed.

This commit also introduces a rcu_get_n_cbs_nocb_cpu() helper function
that returns the number of callbacks for nocbs CPUs or zero otherwise,
and also uses this function in place of direct access to ->nocb_q_count
while in the area (fewer characters, you see).

Paul E. McKenney d3052109c0 rcu: More aggressively enlist scheduler aid for nohz_full CPUs
Because nohz_full CPUs can leave the scheduler-clock interrupt disabled
even when in kernel mode, RCU cannot rely on rcu_check_callbacks() to
enlist the scheduler's aid in extracting a quiescent state from such CPUs.
This commit therefore more aggressively uses resched_cpu() on nohz_full
CPUs that fail to pass through a quiescent state in a timely manner.
By default, the resched_cpu() beating starts 300 milliseconds into the
quiescent state.

While in the neighborhood, add a ->last_fqs_resched field to the rcu_data
structure in order to rate-limit resched_cpu() calls from the RCU
grace-period kthread.

Paul E. McKenney 45975c7d21 rcu: Define RCU-sched API in terms of RCU for Tree RCU PREEMPT builds
Now that RCU-preempt knows about preemption disabling, its implementation
of synchronize_rcu() works for synchronize_sched(), and likewise for the
other RCU-sched update-side API members.  This commit therefore confines
the RCU-sched update-side code to CONFIG_PREEMPT=n builds, and defines
RCU-sched's update-side API members in terms of those of RCU-preempt.

This means that any given build of the Linux kernel has only one
update-side flavor of RCU, namely RCU-preempt for CONFIG_PREEMPT=y builds
and RCU-sched for CONFIG_PREEMPT=n builds.  This in turn means that kernels
built with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y have only one rcuo kthread per CPU.

Paul E. McKenney d28139c4e9 rcu: Apply RCU-bh QSes to RCU-sched and RCU-preempt when safe
One necessary step towards consolidating the three flavors of RCU is to
make sure that the resulting consolidated "one flavor to rule them all"
correctly handles networking denial-of-service attacks.  One thing that
allows RCU-bh to do so is that __do_softirq() invokes rcu_bh_qs() every
so often, and so something similar has to happen for consolidated RCU.

This must be done carefully.  For example, if a preemption-disabled
region of code takes an interrupt which does softirq processing before
returning, consolidated RCU must ignore the resulting rcu_bh_qs()
invocations -- preemption is still disabled, and that means an RCU
reader for the consolidated flavor.

This commit therefore creates a new rcu_softirq_qs() that is called only
from the ksoftirqd task, thus avoiding the interrupted-a-preempted-region
problem.  This new rcu_softirq_qs() function invokes rcu_sched_qs(),
rcu_preempt_qs(), and rcu_preempt_deferred_qs().  The latter call handles
any deferred quiescent states.

Note that __do_softirq() still invokes rcu_bh_qs().  It will continue to
do so until a later stage of cleanup when the RCU-bh flavor is removed.

Paul E. McKenney 3e31009898 rcu: Defer reporting RCU-preempt quiescent states when disabled
This commit defers reporting of RCU-preempt quiescent states at
rcu_read_unlock_special() time when any of interrupts, softirq, or
preemption are disabled.  These deferred quiescent states are reported
at a later RCU_SOFTIRQ, context switch, idle entry, or CPU-hotplug
offline operation.  Of course, if another RCU read-side critical
section has started in the meantime, the reporting of the quiescent
state will be further deferred.

This also means that disabling preemption, interrupts, and/or
softirqs will act as an RCU-preempt read-side critical section.
This is enforced by checking preempt_count() as needed.

Some special cases must be handled on an ad-hoc basis, for example,
context switch is a quiescent state even though both the scheduler and
do_exit() disable preemption.  In these cases, additional calls to
rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() override the preemption disabling.  Similar
logic overrides disabled interrupts in rcu_preempt_check_callbacks()
because in this case the quiescent state happened just before the
corresponding scheduling-clock interrupt.

In theory, this change lifts a long-standing restriction that required
that if interrupts were disabled across a call to rcu_read_unlock()
that the matching rcu_read_lock() also be contained within that
interrupts-disabled region of code.  Because the reporting of the
corresponding RCU-preempt quiescent state is now deferred until
after interrupts have been enabled, it is no longer possible for this
situation to result in deadlocks involving the scheduler's runqueue and
priority-inheritance locks.  This may allow some code simplification that
might reduce interrupt latency a bit.  Unfortunately, in practice this
would also defer deboosting a low-priority task that had been subjected
to RCU priority boosting, so real-time-response considerations might
well force this restriction to remain in place.

Because RCU-preempt grace periods are now blocked not only by RCU
read-side critical sections, but also by disabling of interrupts,
preemption, and softirqs, it will be possible to eliminate RCU-bh and
RCU-sched in favor of RCU-preempt in CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels.  This may
require some additional plumbing to provide the network denial-of-service
guarantees that have been traditionally provided by RCU-bh.  Once these
are in place, CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernels will be able to fold RCU-bh
into RCU-sched.  This would mean that all kernels would have but
one flavor of RCU, which would open the door to significant code
cleanup.

Moving to a single flavor of RCU would also have the beneficial effect
of reducing the NOCB kthreads by at least a factor of two.

Interactions between CPU-hotplug operations and grace-period

debugging actions in this case is to search back in dmesg to work

determine the last CPU-hotplug operation affecting any of those CPUs.
This can be laborious and error-prone, especially when console output

Paul E. McKenney 1e64b15a4b rcu: Fix grace-period hangs due to race with CPU offline
Without special fail-safe quiescent-state-propagation checks, grace-period
hangs can result from the following scenario:

1.	CPU 1 goes offline.

2.	Because CPU 1 is the only CPU in the system blocking the current
	grace period, the grace period ends as soon as
	rcu_cleanup_dying_idle_cpu()'s call to rcu_report_qs_rnp()
	returns.

3.	At this point, the leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock is no longer
	held: rcu_report_qs_rnp() has released it, as it must in order
	to awaken the RCU grace-period kthread.

4.	At this point, that same leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmaskinitnext
	field still records CPU 1 as being online.  This is absolutely
	necessary because the scheduler uses RCU (in this case on the
	wake-up path while awakening RCU's grace-period kthread), and
	->qsmaskinitnext contains RCU's idea as to which CPUs are online.
	Therefore, invoking rcu_report_qs_rnp() after clearing CPU 1's
	bit from ->qsmaskinitnext would result in a lockdep-RCU splat
	due to RCU being used from an offline CPU.

5.	RCU's grace-period kthread awakens, sees that the old grace period
	has completed and that a new one is needed.  It therefore starts
	a new grace period, but because CPU 1's leaf rcu_node structure's
	->qsmaskinitnext field still shows CPU 1 as being online, this new
	grace period is initialized to wait for a quiescent state from the
	now-offline CPU 1.

6.	Without the fail-safe force-quiescent-state checks, there would
	be no quiescent state from the now-offline CPU 1, which would
	eventually result in RCU CPU stall warnings and memory exhaustion.

It would be good to get rid of the special fail-safe quiescent-state
propagation checks, and thus it would be good to fix things so that
the above scenario cannot happen.  This commit therefore adds a new
->ofl_lock to the rcu_state structure.  This lock is held by rcu_gp_init()
across the applying of buffered online and offline operations to the
rcu_node tree, and it is also held by rcu_cleanup_dying_idle_cpu()
when buffering a new offline operation.  This prevents rcu_gp_init()
from acquiring the leaf rcu_node structure's lock during the interval
between when rcu_cleanup_dying_idle_cpu() invokes rcu_report_qs_rnp(),
which releases ->lock and the re-acquisition of that same lock.
This in turn prevents the failure scenario outlined above, and will
hopefully eventually allow removal of the offline-CPU checks from the
force-quiescent-state code path.

Paul E. McKenney 7a1d0f23ad rcu: Move from ->need_future_gp[] to ->gp_seq_needed
One problem with the ->need_future_gp[] array is that the grace-period
assignment of each element changes as the grace periods complete.
This means that it is necessary to hold a lock when checking this
array to learn if a given grace period has already been requested.
This increase lock contention, which is the opposite of helpful.
This commit therefore replaces the ->need_future_gp[] with a single
->gp_seq_needed value and keeps it updated in the rcu_data structure.

This will enable reliable lockless checking of whether or not a given
grace period has already been requested.

Paul E. McKenney 29365e563b rcu: Convert grace-period requests to ->gp_seq
This commit converts the grace-period request code paths from ->completed
and ->gpnum to ->gp_seq.  The need_future_gp_element() macro encapsulates
the shift operation required to use ->gp_seq as an index to the
->need_future_gp[] array.  The rcu_cbs_completed() function is removed
in favor of the rcu_seq_snap() function.  The rcu_start_this_gp()
gets some temporary consistency checks and uses rcu_seq_done(),
rcu_seq_current(), rcu_seq_state(), and rcu_gp_in_progress() in place
of the earlier open-coded comparisons of ->gpnum and ->completed.
The rcu_future_gp_cleanup() function replaces use of ->completed
with ->gp_seq.  The rcu_accelerate_cbs() function replaces a call to
rcu_cbs_completed() with one to rcu_seq_snap().  The rcu_advance_cbs()
function replaces an access to >completed with one to ->gp_seq and adds
some temporary warnings.  The rcu_nocb_wait_gp() function replaces a
call to rcu_cbs_completed() with one to rcu_seq_snap() and an open-coded
comparison with rcu_seq_done().

The temporary warnings will be removed when the various ->gpnum and
->completed fields are removed.  Their purpose is to locate code who
might still be using ->gpnum and ->completed.  (Much easier that way
than trying to trace down the causes of too-short grace periods and
grace-period hangs!)

Paul E. McKenney 8aa670cdac rcu: Convert ->rcu_iw_gpnum to ->gp_seq
This commit switches the interrupt-disabled detection mechanism to
->gp_seq.  This mechanism is used as part of RCU CPU stall warnings,
and detects cases where the stall is due to a CPU having interrupts

Paul E. McKenney de30ad512a rcu: Introduce grace-period sequence numbers
This commit adds grace-period sequence numbers (->gp_seq) to the
rcu_state, rcu_node, and rcu_data structures, and updates them.
It also checks for consistency between rsp->gpnum and rsp->gp_seq.
These ->gp_seq counters will eventually replace the existing ->gpnum
and ->completed counters, allowing a single memory access to determine
whether or not a grace period is in progress and if so, which one.
This in turn will enable changes that will reduce ->lock contention on
the leaf rcu_node structures.

This commit causes a splat if RCU is idle and a request for a new grace

that some code path asked for a new grace period, but failed to wake up
the RCU grace-period kthread.

Paul E. McKenney 0ae94e00ce rcu: Make rcu_future_needs_gp() check all ->need_future_gps[] elements
Currently, the rcu_future_needs_gp() function checks only the current
element of the ->need_future_gps[] array, which might miss elements that
were offset from the expected element, for example, due to races with
the start or the end of a grace period.  This commit therefore makes
rcu_future_needs_gp() use the need_any_future_gp() macro to check all
of the elements of this array.

Paul E. McKenney 51af970d19 rcu: Avoid losing ->need_future_gp[] values due to GP start/end races
The rcu_cbs_completed() function provides the value of ->completed
at which new callbacks can safely be invoked.  This is recorded in
two-element ->need_future_gp[] arrays in the rcu_node structure, and
the elements of these arrays corresponding to the just-completed grace
period are zeroed at the end of that grace period.  However, the
rcu_cbs_completed() function can return the current ->completed value
plus either one or two, so it is possible for the corresponding
->need_future_gp[] entry to be cleared just after it was set, thus
losing a request for a future grace period.

This commit avoids this race by expanding ->need_future_gp[] to four
elements.
