When scftorture finds an error in the module parameters controlling
the relative frequencies of smp_call_function*() variants, it takes an
early exit. So early that it has not allocated memory to track the
kthreads running the test, which results in a segfault. This commit
therefore checks for the existence of the memory before attempting
to stop the kthreads that would otherwise have been recorded in that
non-existent memory.

This commit adds the single_weight_rpc module parameter, which causes the
IPI handler to awaken the IPI sender. In many scheduler configurations,
this will result in an IPI back to the sender that is likely to be
received at a time when the sender CPU is idle. The intent is to stress
IPI reception during CPU busy-to-idle transitions.

If the call to set_cpus_allowed_ptr() in scftorture_invoker()
fails, a later WARN_ONCE() complains. But with the advent of
570a752b7a ("lib/smp_processor_id: Use is_percpu_thread() instead of
nr_cpus_allowed"), this complaint can be drowned out by complaints from
smp_processor_id(). The rationale for this change is that scftorture's
kthreads are not marked with PF_NO_SETAFFINITY, which means that a system
administrator could change affinity at any time.
However, scftorture is a torture test, and the system administrator might
well have a valid test-the-test reason for changing affinity. This commit
therefore changes to raw_smp_processor_id() in order to avoid the noise,
and also adds a WARN_ON_ONCE() to the call to set_cpus_allowed_ptr() in
order to directly detect immediate failure. There is no WARN_ON_ONCE()
within the test loop, allowing human-reflex-based affinity resetting,
if desired.

In virtual environments on systems with hardware assist, inter-processor
interrupts must do very different things based on whether the target
vCPU is running or not. This commit therefore enables torture-test
stuttering to better test these running/not-running transitions.

The scftorture tests currently use only smp_call_function() and
friends, which means that these tests cannot locate bugs caused by
interactions between different IPI vectors. This commit therefore adds
the rescheduling IPI to the mix.
Note that this commit permits resched_cpus() only when scftorture is
built in. This is a workaround. Longer term, this will use real wakeups
rather than resched_cpu().

Although the test loop does randomly delay, which would provide quiescent
states and so forth, it is possible for there to be a series of long
smp_call_function*() handler runtimes with no delays, which results in
softlockup and RCU CPU stall warning messages. This commit therefore
inserts a cond_resched() into the main test loop.

On uniprocessor systems, smp_call_function() does nothing. This commit
therefore avoids complaining about the lack of handler accesses in the
single-CPU case where there is no handler.

Currently, CPU-hotplug operations might result in all but two
of (say) 100 CPUs being offline, which in turn might result in
false-positive diagnostics due to overload. This commit therefore
causes scftorture_invoker() kthreads for offline CPUs to loop blocking
for 200 milliseconds at a time, thus continuously adjusting the number
of threads to match the number of online CPUs.

This commit adds a "default" case to the switch statement in
scftorture_invoke_one() which contains a WARN_ON_ONCE() and an assignment
to ->scfc_out to suppress knock-on warnings. These knock-on warnings
could otherwise cause the user to think that there was a memory-ordering
problem in smp_call_function() instead of a bug in scftorture.c itself.

The sparse tool complains as follows
kernel/scftorture.c:124:1: warning:
symbol '__pcpu_scope_scf_torture_rand' was not declared. Should it be static?
And this per-CPU variable is not used outside of scftorture.c,
so this commit marks it static.

Detecting smp_call_function() memory misordering requires close timing,
so it is necessary to have the checks immediately before and after
the call to the smp_call_function*() function under test. This commit
therefore inserts barrier() calls to prevent the compiler from optimizing
memory-misordering detection down into the zone of extreme improbability.

This commit prints error counts on the statistics line and also adds a

This commit hoists much of the initialization of the scf_check

The initialization of the ->scfc_in field remains in each leg of the

This commit adds checks for memory misordering across calls to and
returns from smp_call_function() in the case where the caller waits.
Misordering results in a splat.
Note that in contrast to smp_call_function_single(), this code does not
test memory ordering into the handler in the no-wait case because none
of the handlers would be able to free the scf_check structure without
introducing heavy synchronization to work out which was last.

This commit uses the scftorture.weight* kernel parameters to randomly
chooses between smp_call_function_single(), smp_call_function_many(),
and smp_call_function(). For each variant, it also randomly chooses
whether to invoke it synchronously (wait=1) or asynchronously (wait=0).
The percentage weighting for each option are dumped to the console log
(search for "scf_sel_dump").
This accumulates statistics, which a later commit will dump out at the
end of the run.
