The srcu_gp_start() function is called with the srcu_struct structure's
->lock held, but not with the srcu_data structure's ->lock. This is
problematic because this function accesses and updates the srcu_data
structure's ->srcu_cblist, which is protected by that lock. Failing to
hold this lock can result in corruption of the SRCU callback lists,
which in turn can result in arbitrarily bad results.
This commit therefore makes srcu_gp_start() acquire the srcu_data
structure's ->lock across the calls to rcu_segcblist_advance() and
rcu_segcblist_accelerate(), thus preventing this corruption.

In PREEMPT kernels, an expedited grace period might send an IPI to a
CPU that is executing an RCU read-side critical section. In that case,
it would be nice if the rcu_read_unlock() directly interacted with the
RCU core code to immediately report the quiescent state. And this does
happen in the case where the reader has been preempted. But it would
also be a nice performance optimization if immediate reporting also
happened in the preemption-free case.
This commit therefore adds an ->exp_hint field to the task_struct structure's
->rcu_read_unlock_special field. The IPI handler sets this hint when
it has interrupted an RCU read-side critical section, and this causes
the outermost rcu_read_unlock() call to invoke rcu_read_unlock_special(),
which, if preemption is enabled, reports the quiescent state immediately.
If preemption is disabled, then the report is required to be deferred
until preemption (or bottom halves or interrupts or whatever) is re-enabled.
Because this is a hint, it does nothing for more complicated cases. For
example, if the IPI interrupts an RCU reader, but interrupts are disabled
across the rcu_read_unlock(), but another rcu_read_lock() is executed
before interrupts are re-enabled, the hint will already have been cleared.
If you do crazy things like this, reporting will be deferred until some
later RCU_SOFTIRQ handler, context switch, cond_resched(), or similar.

The CPU-selection code in sync_rcu_exp_select_cpus() disables preemption
to prevent the cpu_online_mask from changing. However, this relies on
the stop-machine mechanism in the CPU-hotplug offline code, which is not
desirable (it would be good to someday remove the stop-machine mechanism).
This commit therefore instead uses the relevant leaf rcu_node structure's
->ffmask, which has a bit set for all CPUs that are fully functional.
A given CPU's bit is cleared very early during offline processing by
rcutree_offline_cpu() and set very late during online processing by
rcutree_online_cpu(). Therefore, if a CPU's bit is set in this mask, and
preemption is disabled, we have to be before the synchronize_sched() in
the CPU-hotplug offline code, which means that the CPU is guaranteed to be
workqueue-ready throughout the duration of the enclosing preempt_disable()
region of code.
This also has the side-effect of using WORK_CPU_UNBOUND if all the CPUs for
this leaf rcu_node structure are offline, which is an acceptable difference
in behavior.

Ever since cdf7abc461 ("srcu: Allow use of Tiny/Tree SRCU from
both process and interrupt context"), it has been permissible
to use SRCU read-side critical sections in interrupt context.
This allows __call_srcu() to use SRCU read-side critical sections to
prevent a new SRCU grace period from ending before the call to either
srcu_funnel_gp_start() or srcu_funnel_exp_start completes, thus preventing
SRCU grace-period counter overflow during that time.
Note that this does not permit removal of the counter-wrap checks in
srcu_gp_end(). These check are necessary to handle the case where
a given CPU does not interact at all with SRCU for an extended time
period.

Event tracing is moving to SRCU in order to take advantage of the fact
that SRCU may be safely used from idle and even offline CPUs. However,
event tracing can invoke call_srcu() very early in the boot process,
even before workqueue_init_early() is invoked (let alone rcu_init()).
Therefore, call_srcu()'s attempts to queue work fail miserably.
This commit therefore detects this situation, and refrains from attempting
to queue work before rcu_init() time, but does everything else that it
would have done, and in addition, adds the srcu_struct to a global list.
The rcu_init() function now invokes a new srcu_init() function, which
is empty if CONFIG_SRCU=n. Otherwise, srcu_init() queues work for
each srcu_struct on the list. This all happens early enough in boot
that there is but a single CPU with interrupts disabled, which allows
synchronization to be dispensed with.
Of course, the queued work won't actually be invoked until after
workqueue_init() is invoked, which happens shortly after the scheduler
is up and running. This means that although call_srcu() may be invoked
any time after per-CPU variables have been set up, there is still a very
narrow window when synchronize_srcu() won't work, and this window
extends from the time that the scheduler starts until the time that
workqueue_init() returns. This can be fixed in a manner similar to
the fix for synchronize_rcu_expedited() and friends, but until someone
actually needs to use synchronize_srcu() during this window, this fix
is added churn for no benefit.
Finally, note that Tree SRCU's new srcu_init() function invokes
queue_work() rather than the queue_delayed_work() function that is
invoked post-boot. The reason is that queue_delayed_work() will (as you
would expect) post a timer, and timers have not yet been initialized.
So use of queue_work() avoids the complaints about use of uninitialized
spinlocks that would otherwise result. Besides, some delay is already
provide by the aforementioned fact that the queued work won't actually
be invoked until after the scheduler is up and running.

The jiffies_till_sched_qs value used to determine how old a grace period
must be before RCU enlists the help of the scheduler to force a quiescent
state on the holdout CPU. Currently, this defaults to HZ/10 regardless of
system size and may be set only at boot time. This can be a problem for
very large systems, because if the values of the jiffies_till_first_fqs
and jiffies_till_next_fqs kernel parameters are left at their defaults,
they are calculated to increase as the number of CPUs actually configured
on the system increases. Thus, on a sufficiently large system, RCU would
enlist the help of the scheduler before the grace-period kthread had a
chance to scan for idle CPUs, which wastes CPU time.
This commit therefore allows jiffies_till_sched_qs to be set, if desired,
but if left as default, computes is as jiffies_till_first_fqs plus twice
jiffies_till_next_fqs, thus allowing three force-quiescent-state scans

Now that RCU can have readers with multiple segments, it is quite

(reader potentially spans a full grace period based on reading out

can result in synchronize_sched() being delayed by up to ten seconds,
which can be problematic, to say nothing of annoying.
This commit therefore checks rcu_dynticks.rcu_urgent_qs from within
rcu_check_callbacks(), which is invoked from the scheduling-clock
interrupt handler. If the current task is not an idle task and is
not executing in usermode, a context switch is forced, and either way,
the rcu_dynticks.rcu_urgent_qs variable is set to false. If the current
task is an idle task, then RCU's dyntick-idle code will detect the
quiescent state, so no further action is required. Similarly, if the
task is executing in usermode, other code in rcu_check_callbacks() and
its called functions will report the corresponding quiescent state.

Because rcu_barrier() is a one-line wrapper function for _rcu_barrier()
and because nothing else calls _rcu_barrier(), this commit inlines
_rcu_barrier() into rcu_barrier().

Now that rcu_all_qs() is used only in !PREEMPT builds, move it to
tree_plugin.h so that it is defined only in those builds. This in
turn means that rcu_momentary_dyntick_idle() is only used in !PREEMPT
builds, but it is simply marked __maybe_unused in order to keep it
near the rest of the dyntick-idle code.

rcu_exp_batches_completed_sched(), rcu_sched_force_quiescent_state(),

Since there is now a single consolidated RCU flavor, rcutorture
needs to test extending of RCU readers via rcu_read_lock_bh() and
rcu_read_lock_sched(). This commit adds this support, with added checks
(just like for local_bh_enable()) to ensure that rcu_read_unlock_bh()
will not be invoked while interrupts are disabled.
