This patch fixes a bug located by Vegard Nossum with the aid of
kmemcheck, updated based on review comments from Nick Piggin,
Ingo Molnar, and Andrew Morton. And cleans up the variable-name
and function-name language. ;-)
The boot CPU runs in the context of its idle thread during boot-up.
During this time, idle_cpu(0) will always return nonzero, which will
fool Classic and Hierarchical RCU into deciding that a large chunk of
the boot-up sequence is a big long quiescent state. This in turn causes
RCU to prematurely end grace periods during this time.
This patch changes the rcutree.c and rcuclassic.c rcu_check_callbacks()
function to ignore the idle task as a quiescent state until the
system has started up the scheduler in rest_init(), introducing a
new non-API function rcu_idle_now_means_idle() to inform RCU of this
transition. RCU maintains an internal rcu_idle_cpu_truthful variable
to track this state, which is then used by rcu_check_callback() to
determine if it should believe idle_cpu().
Because this patch has the effect of disallowing RCU grace periods
during long stretches of the boot-up sequence, this patch also introduces
Josh Triplett's UP-only optimization that makes synchronize_rcu() be a
no-op if num_online_cpus() returns 1. This allows boot-time code that
calls synchronize_rcu() to proceed normally. Note, however, that RCU
callbacks registered by call_rcu() will likely queue up until later in
the boot sequence. Although rcuclassic and rcutree can also use this
same optimization after boot completes, rcupreempt must restrict its
use of this optimization to the portion of the boot sequence before the
scheduler starts up, given that an rcupreempt RCU read-side critical
section may be preeempted.
In addition, this patch takes Nick Piggin's suggestion to make the
system_state global variable be __read_mostly.
Changes since v4:
o Changes the name of the introduced function and variable to
be less emotional. ;-)
Changes since v3:
o WARN_ON(nr_context_switches() > 0) to verify that RCU
switches out of boot-time mode before the first context
switch, as suggested by Nick Piggin.
Changes since v2:
o Created rcu_blocking_is_gp() internal-to-RCU API that
determines whether a call to synchronize_rcu() is itself
a grace period.
o The definition of rcu_blocking_is_gp() for rcuclassic and
rcutree checks to see if but a single CPU is online.
o The definition of rcu_blocking_is_gp() for rcupreempt
checks to see both if but a single CPU is online and if
the system is still in early boot.
This allows rcupreempt to again work correctly if running
on a single CPU after booting is complete.
o Added check to rcupreempt's synchronize_sched() for there
being but one online CPU.
Tested all three variants both SMP and !SMP, booted fine, passed a short
rcutorture test on both x86 and Power.

This patch adds stalled-CPU detection to Classic RCU. This capability
is enabled by a new config variable CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR, which
defaults disabled.
This is a debugging feature to detect infinite loops in kernel code, not
something that non-kernel-hackers would be expected to care about.
This feature can detect looping CPUs in !PREEMPT builds and looping CPUs
with preemption disabled in PREEMPT builds. This is essentially a port of
this functionality from the treercu patch, replacing the stall debug patch
that is already in tip/core/rcu (commit 67182ae1c4).
The changes from the patch in tip/core/rcu include making the config
variable name match that in treercu, changing from seconds to jiffies to
avoid spurious warnings, and printing a boot message when this feature
is enabled.

Some earlier tip/core/rcu patches caused RCU to incorrectly enable irqs
too early in boot. This caused Yinghai's repeated-kexec testing to
hit oopses, presumably due to so that device interrupts left over from
the prior kernel instance (which would oops the newly booting kernel
before it got a chance to reset said devices). This patch therefore
converts all the local_irq_disable()s in rcuclassic.c to local_irq_save().

This patch simplifies the locking and memory-barrier usage in the Classic
RCU grace-period-detection mechanism, incorporating Lai Jiangshan's
feedback from the earlier version (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/1/400
and http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/3/43). Passed 10 hours of
rcutorture concurrent with CPUs being put online and taken offline on
a 128-hardware-thread Power machine. My apologies to whoever in the
Eastern Hemisphere was planning to use this machine over the Western
Hemisphere night, but it was sitting idle and...
So this is ready for tip/core/rcu.
This patch is in preparation for moving to a hierarchical
algorithm to allow the very large SMP machines -- requested by some
people at OLS, and there seem to have been a few recent patches in the
4096-CPU direction as well. The general idea is to move to a much more
conservative concurrency design, then apply a hierarchy to reduce
contention on the global lock by a few orders of magnitude (larger
machines would see greater reductions). The reason for taking a
conservative approach is that this code isn't on any fast path.
Prototype in progress.

this is a diagnostic patch for Classic RCU.
The approach is to record a timestamp at the beginning
of the grace period (in rcu_start_batch()), then have
rcu_check_callbacks() complain if:
1. it is running on a CPU that has holding up grace periods for
a long time (say one second). This will identify the culprit
assuming that the culprit has not disabled hardware irqs,
instruction execution, or some such.
2. it is running on a CPU that is not holding up grace periods,
but grace periods have been held up for an even longer time
(say two seconds).
It is enabled via the default-off CONFIG_DEBUG_RCU_STALL kernel parameter.
Rather than exponential backoff, it backs off to once per 30 seconds.
My feeling upon thinking on it was that if you have stalled RCU grace
periods for that long, a few extra printk() messages are probably the
least of your worries...

http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/6/2/539
v1's description:
The code/algorithm of the implement of current callbacks-processing
is very efficient and technical. But when I studied it and I found
a disadvantage:
In multi-CPU systems, when a new RCU callback is being
queued(call_rcu[_bh]), this callback will be invoked after the grace
period for the batch with batch number = rcp->cur+2 has completed
very very likely in current implement. Actually, this callback can be
invoked after the grace period for the batch with
batch number = rcp->cur+1 has completed. The delay of invocation means
that latency of synchronize_rcu() is extended. But more important thing
is that the callbacks usually free memory, and these works are delayed
too! it's necessary for reclaimer to free memory as soon as
possible when left memory is few.
A very simple way can solve this problem:
a field(struct rcu_head::batch) is added to record the batch number for
the RCU callback. And when a new RCU callback is being queued, we
determine the batch number for this callback(head->batch = rcp->cur+1)
and we move this callback to rdp->donelist if we find
that head->batch <= rcp->completed when we process callbacks.
This simple way reduces the wait time for invocation a lot. (about
2.5Grace Period -> 1.5Grace Period in average in multi-CPU systems)
This is my algorithm. But I do not add any field for struct rcu_head
in my implement. We just need to memorize the last 2 batches and
their batch number, because these 2 batches include all entries that
for whom the grace period hasn't completed. So we use a special
linked-list rather than add a field.
Please see the comment of struct rcu_data.

[ Paul E. McKenney: ]
The effect of this bug would be for force_quiescent_state() to be invoked
when it should not and vice versa -- wasting cycles in the first case
and letting RCU callbacks remain piled up in the second case. The bug
is thus "benign" in that it does not result in premature grace-period
termination, but should of course be fixed nonetheless.
Preemption is disabled by the caller's get_cpu_var(), so we are guaranteed
to remain on the same CPU, as required. The local_irq_disable() is indeed
needed, otherwise, an interrupt might invoke call_rcu() or call_rcu_bh(),
which could cause that interrupt's increment of ->qlen to be lost.

IMHO the warning is a spurious one.
cpu_online_map is updated by the _cpu_down() using stop_machine_run().
Since force_quiescent_state is invoked from irqs disabled section,
stop_machine_run() won't be executing while a cpu is executing
force_quiescent_state(). Hence the cpu_online_map is stable while we're
in the irq disabled section.
However, a cpu might have been offlined _just_ before we disabled irqs
while entering force_quiescent_state(). And rcu subsystem might not yet
have handled the CPU_DEAD notification, leading to the offlined cpu's
bit being set in the rcp->cpumask.
Hence cpumask = (rcp->cpumask & cpu_online_map) to prevent sending
smp_reschedule() to an offlined CPU.
Here's the timeline:
CPU_A CPU_B
--------------------------------------------------------------
cpu_down(): .
. .
. .
stop_machine(): /* disables preemption, .
* and irqs */ .
. .
. .
take_cpu_down(); .
. .
. .
. .
cpu_disable(); /*this removes cpu .
*from cpu_online_map .
*/ .
. .
. .
restart_machine(); /* enables irqs */ .
------WINDOW DURING WHICH rcp->cpumask is stale ---------------
. call_rcu();
. /* disables irqs here */
. .force_quiescent_state();
.CPU_DEAD: .for_each_cpu(rcp->cpumask)
. . smp_send_reschedule();
. .
. . WARN_ON() for offlined CPU!
.
.
.
rcu_cpu_notify:
.
-------- WINDOW ENDS ------------------------------------------
rcu_offline_cpu() /* Which calls cpu_quiet()
* which removes
* cpu from rcp->cpumask.
*/
If a new batch was started just before calling stop_machine_run(), the
"tobe-offlined" cpu is still present in rcp-cpumask.
During a cpu-offline, from take_cpu_down(), we queue an rt-prio idle
task as the next task to be picked by the scheduler. We also call
cpu_disable() which will disable any further interrupts and remove the
cpu's bit from the cpu_online_map.
Once the stop_machine_run() successfully calls take_cpu_down(), it calls
schedule(). That's the last time a schedule is called on the offlined
cpu, and hence the last time when rdp->passed_quiesc will be set to 1
through rcu_qsctr_inc().
But the cpu_quiet() will be on this cpu will be called only when the
next RCU_SOFTIRQ occurs on this CPU. So at this time, the offlined CPU
is still set in rcp->cpumask.
Now coming back to the idle_task which truely offlines the CPU, it does
check for a pending RCU and raises the softirq, since it will find
rdp->passed_quiesc to be 0 in this case. However, since the cpu is
offline I am not sure if the softirq will trigger on the CPU.
Even if it doesn't the rcu_offline_cpu() will find that rcp->completed
is not the same as rcp->cur, which means that our cpu could be holding
up the grace period progression. Hence we call cpu_quiet() and move
ahead.
But because of the window explained in the timeline, we could still have
a call_rcu() before the RCU subsystem executes it's CPU_DEAD
notification, and we send smp_send_reschedule() to offlined cpu while
trying to force the quiescent states. The appended patch adds comments
and prevents checking for offlined cpu everytime.
cpu_online_map is updated by the _cpu_down() using stop_machine_run().
Since force_quiescent_state is invoked from irqs disabled section,
stop_machine_run() won't be executing while a cpu is executing
force_quiescent_state(). Hence the cpu_online_map is stable while we're
in the irq disabled section.

This patch implements a new version of RCU which allows its read-side
critical sections to be preempted. It uses a set of counter pairs
to keep track of the read-side critical sections and flips them
when all tasks exit read-side critical section. The details
of this implementation can be found in this paper -
http://www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/RCU/OLSrtRCU.2006.08.11a.pdf
and the article-
http://lwn.net/Articles/253651/
This patch was developed as a part of the -rt kernel development and
meant to provide better latencies when read-side critical sections of
RCU don't disable preemption. As a consequence of keeping track of RCU
readers, the readers have a slight overhead (optimizations in the paper).
This implementation co-exists with the "classic" RCU implementations
and can be switched to at compiler.
Also includes RCU tracing summarized in debugfs.
