2016-02-25rcu: Use simple wait queues where possible in rcutreePaul Gortmaker
As of commit dae6e64d2bcfd ("rcu: Introduce proper blocking to no-CBs kthreads GP waits") the RCU subsystem started making use of wait queues. Here we convert all additions of RCU wait queues to use simple wait queues, since they don't need the extra overhead of the full wait queue features. Originally this was done for RT kernels[1], since we would get things like... BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/rtmutex.c:659 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 1, pid: 8, name: rcu_preempt Pid: 8, comm: rcu_preempt Not tainted Call Trace: [<ffffffff8106c8d0>] __might_sleep+0xd0/0xf0 [<ffffffff817d77b4>] rt_spin_lock+0x24/0x50 [<ffffffff8106fcf6>] __wake_up+0x36/0x70 [<ffffffff810c4542>] rcu_gp_kthread+0x4d2/0x680 [<ffffffff8105f910>] ? __init_waitqueue_head+0x50/0x50 [<ffffffff810c4070>] ? rcu_gp_fqs+0x80/0x80 [<ffffffff8105eabb>] kthread+0xdb/0xe0 [<ffffffff8106b912>] ? finish_task_switch+0x52/0x100 [<ffffffff817e0754>] kernel_thread_helper+0x4/0x10 [<ffffffff8105e9e0>] ? __init_kthread_worker+0x60/0x60 [<ffffffff817e0750>] ? gs_change+0xb/0xb ...and hence simple wait queues were deployed on RT out of necessity (as simple wait uses a raw lock), but mainline might as well take advantage of the more streamline support as well. [1] This is a carry forward of work from v3.10-rt; the original conversion was by Thomas on an earlier -rt version, and Sebastian extended it to additional post-3.10 added RCU waiters; here I've added a commit log and unified the RCU changes into one, and uprev'd it to match mainline RCU.

2016-02-25rcu: Do not call rcu_nocb_gp_cleanup() while holding rnp->lockDaniel Wagner
rcu_nocb_gp_cleanup() is called while holding rnp->lock. Currently, this is okay because the wake_up_all() in rcu_nocb_gp_cleanup() will not enable the IRQs. lockdep is happy. By switching over using swait this is not true anymore. swake_up_all() enables the IRQs while processing the waiters. __do_softirq() can now run and will eventually call rcu_process_callbacks() which wants to grap nrp->lock. Let's move the rcu_nocb_gp_cleanup() call outside the lock before we switch over to swait. If we would hold the rnp->lock and use swait, lockdep reports following: ================================= [ INFO: inconsistent lock state ] 4.2.0-rc5-00025-g9a73ba0 #136 Not tainted --------------------------------- inconsistent {IN-SOFTIRQ-W} -> {SOFTIRQ-ON-W} usage. rcu_preempt/8 [HC0[0]:SC0[0]:HE1:SE1] takes: (rcu_node_1){+.?...}, at: [<ffffffff811387c7>] rcu_gp_kthread+0xb97/0xeb0 {IN-SOFTIRQ-W} state was registered at: [<ffffffff81109b9f>] __lock_acquire+0xd5f/0x21e0 [<ffffffff8110be0f>] lock_acquire+0xdf/0x2b0 [<ffffffff81841cc9>] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x59/0xa0 [<ffffffff81136991>] rcu_process_callbacks+0x141/0x3c0 [<ffffffff810b1a9d>] __do_softirq+0x14d/0x670 [<ffffffff810b2214>] irq_exit+0x104/0x110 [<ffffffff81844e96>] smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x46/0x60 [<ffffffff81842e70>] apic_timer_interrupt+0x70/0x80 [<ffffffff810dba66>] rq_attach_root+0xa6/0x100 [<ffffffff810dbc2d>] cpu_attach_domain+0x16d/0x650 [<ffffffff810e4b42>] build_sched_domains+0x942/0xb00 [<ffffffff821777c2>] sched_init_smp+0x509/0x5c1 [<ffffffff821551e3>] kernel_init_freeable+0x172/0x28f [<ffffffff8182cdce>] kernel_init+0xe/0xe0 [<ffffffff8184231f>] ret_from_fork+0x3f/0x70 irq event stamp: 76 hardirqs last enabled at (75): [<ffffffff81841330>] _raw_spin_unlock_irq+0x30/0x60 hardirqs last disabled at (76): [<ffffffff8184116f>] _raw_spin_lock_irq+0x1f/0x90 softirqs last enabled at (0): [<ffffffff810a8df2>] copy_process.part.26+0x602/0x1cf0 softirqs last disabled at (0): [< (null)>] (null) other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 ---- lock(rcu_node_1); <Interrupt> lock(rcu_node_1); *** DEADLOCK *** 1 lock held by rcu_preempt/8: #0: (rcu_node_1){+.?...}, at: [<ffffffff811387c7>] rcu_gp_kthread+0xb97/0xeb0 stack backtrace: CPU: 0 PID: 8 Comm: rcu_preempt Not tainted 4.2.0-rc5-00025-g9a73ba0 #136 Hardware name: Dell Inc.

2016-02-23RCU: Privatize rcu_node::lockBoqun Feng
In patch: "rcu: Add transitivity to remaining rcu_node ->lock acquisitions" All locking operations on rcu_node::lock are replaced with the wrappers because of the need of transitivity, which indicates we should never write code using LOCK primitives alone(i.e. without a proper barrier following) on rcu_node::lock outside those wrappers. We could detect this kind of misuses on rcu_node::lock in the future by adding __private modifier on rcu_node::lock. To privatize rcu_node::lock, unlock wrappers are also needed. Replacing spinlock unlocks with these wrappers not only privatizes rcu_node::lock but also makes it easier to figure out critical sections of rcu_node. This patch adds __private modifier to rcu_node::lock and makes every access to it wrapped by ACCESS_PRIVATE(). Besides, unlock wrappers are added and raw_spin_unlock(&rnp->lock) and its friends are replaced with those wrappers. Signed-off-by: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2015-12-04rcu: Stop disabling interrupts in scheduler fastpathsPaul E. McKenney
We need the scheduler's fastpaths to be, well, fast, and unnecessarily disabling and re-enabling interrupts is not necessarily consistent with this goal. Especially given that there are regions of the scheduler that already have interrupts disabled. This commit therefore moves the call to rcu_note_context_switch() to one of the interrupts-disabled regions of the scheduler, and removes the now-redundant disabling and re-enabling of interrupts from rcu_note_context_switch() and the functions it calls.

2015-12-04rcu: Avoid tick_nohz_active checks on NOCBs CPUsPaul E. McKenney
Currently, rcu_prepare_for_idle() checks for tick_nohz_active, even on individual NOCBs CPUs, unless all CPUs are marked as NOCBs CPUs at build time. This check is pointless on NOCBs CPUs because they never have any callbacks posted, given that all of their callbacks are handed off to the corresponding rcuo kthread. There is a check for individually designated NOCBs CPUs, but it pointelessly follows the check for tick_nohz_active. This commit therefore moves the check for individually designated NOCBs CPUs up with the check for CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

2015-12-04rcu: Add rcu_normal kernel parameter to suppress expeditingPaul E. McKenney
Although expedited grace periods can be quite useful, and although their OS jitter has been greatly reduced, they can still pose problems for extreme real-time workloads. This commit therefore adds a rcu_normal kernel boot parameter (which can also be manipulated via sysfs) to suppress expedited grace periods, that is, to treat requests for expedited grace periods as if they were requests for normal grace periods. If both rcu_expedited and rcu_normal are specified, rcu_normal wins. This means that if you are relying on expedited grace periods to speed up boot, you will want to specify rcu_expedited on the kernel command line, and then specify rcu_normal via sysfs once boot completes.

2015-11-23rcu: Add transitivity to remaining rcu_node ->lock acquisitionsPaul E. McKenney

2015-11-23rcu: Create transitive rnp->lock acquisition functionsPeter Zijlstra
Providing RCU's memory-ordering guarantees requires that the rcu_node tree's locking provide transitive memory ordering, which the Linux kernel's spinlocks currently do not provide unless smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() is used. Having a separate smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() after each and every lock acquisition is error-prone, hard to read, and a bit annoying, so this commit provides wrapper functions that pull in the smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() invocations.

This commit converts the rcu_data structure's ->cpu_no_qs field to a union. The bytewise side of this union allows individual access to indications as to whether this CPU needs to find a quiescent state for a normal (.norm) and/or expedited (.exp) grace period. The setwise side of the union allows testing whether or not a quiescent state is needed at all, for either type of grace period. For now, only .norm is used.

2015-09-20rcu: Use single-stage IPI algorithm for RCU expedited grace periodPaul E. McKenney
The current preemptible-RCU expedited grace-period algorithm invokes synchronize_sched_expedited() to enqueue all tasks currently running in a preemptible-RCU read-side critical section, then waits for all the ->blkd_tasks lists to drain. This works, but results in both an IPI and a double context switch even on CPUs that do not happen to be running in a preemptible RCU read-side critical section. This commit implements a new algorithm that causes less OS jitter. This new algorithm IPIs all online CPUs that are not idle (from an RCU perspective), but refrains from self-IPIs. If a CPU receiving this IPI is not in a preemptible RCU read-side critical section (or is just now exiting one), it pushes quiescence up the rcu_node tree, otherwise, it sets a flag that will be handled by the upcoming outermost rcu_read_unlock(), which will then push quiescence up the tree. The expedited grace period must of course wait on any pre-existing blocked readers, and newly blocked readers must be queued carefully based on the state of both the normal and the expedited grace periods. This new queueing approach also avoids the need to update boost state, courtesy of the fact that blocked tasks are no longer ever migrated to the root rcu_node structure. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2015-07-22rcu: Don't disable CPU hotplug during OOM notifiersPaul E. McKenney
RCU's rcu_oom_notify() disables CPU hotplug in order to stabilize the list of online CPUs, which it traverses. However, this is completely pointless because smp_call_function_single() will quietly fail if invoked on an offline CPU. Because the count of requests is incremented in the rcu_oom_notify_cpu() function that is remotely invoked, everything works nicely even in the face of concurrent CPU-hotplug operations. Furthermore, in recent kernels, invoking get_online_cpus() from an OOM notifier can result in deadlock. This commit therefore removes the call to get_online_cpus() and put_online_cpus() from rcu_oom_notify().

2015-07-17rcu: Consolidate last open-coded expedited memory barrierPaul E. McKenney
One of the requirements on RCU grace periods is that if there is a causal chain of operations that starts after one grace period and ends before another grace period, then the two grace periods must be serialized. There has been (and might still be) code that relies on this, for example, certain types of reference-counting code that does a call_rcu() within an RCU callback function. This requirement is why there is an smp_mb() at the end of both synchronize_sched_expedited() and synchronize_rcu_expedited(). However, this is the only smp_mb() in these functions, so it would be nicer to consolidate it into rcu_exp_gp_seq_end(). This commit does just that. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

This commit therefore applies the new sequence-count functions developed for synchronize_sched_expedited() to speed things up a bit and to consolidate the sequence-counter implementation.

2015-07-17rcu: Remove CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_INFOPaul E. McKenney
The CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_INFO has been default-y for a couple of releases with no complaints, so it is time to eliminate this Kconfig option entirely, so that the long-form RCU CPU stall warnings cannot be disabled. This commit does just that. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2015-07-17rcu: Stop disabling CPU hotplug in synchronize_rcu_expedited()Paul E. McKenney
The fact that tasks could be migrated from leaf to root rcu_node structures meant that synchronize_rcu_expedited() had to disable CPU hotplug. However, tasks now stay put, so this commit removes the CPU-hotplug disabling from synchronize_rcu_expedited(). Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

2015-06-19timer: Reduce timer migration overhead if disabledThomas Gleixner
Eric reported that the timer_migration sysctl is not really nice performance wise as it needs to check at every timer insertion whether the feature is enabled or not. Further the check does not live in the timer code, so we have an extra function call which checks an extra cache line to figure out that it is disabled. We can do better and store that information in the per cpu (hr)timer bases. I pondered to use a static key, but that's a nightmare to update from the nohz code and the timer base cache line is hot anyway when we select a timer base. The old logic enabled the timer migration unconditionally if CONFIG_NO_HZ was set even if nohz was disabled on the kernel command line. With this modification, we start off with migration disabled. The user visible sysctl is still set to enabled. If the kernel switches to NOHZ migration is enabled, if the user did not disable it via the sysctl prior to the switch. If nohz=off is on the kernel command line, migration stays disabled no matter what.

2015-05-27rcu: Make RCU able to tolerate undefined CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAFPaul E. McKenney
This commit introduces an RCU_FANOUT_LEAF C-preprocessor macro so that RCU will build even when CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF is undefined. The RCU_FANOUT_LEAF macro is set to the value of CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF when defined, otherwise it is set to 32 for 32-bit systems and 64 for 64-bit systems. This commit then makes CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF depend on CONFIG_RCU_EXPERT, so that Kconfig users won't be asked about CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF unless they want to be.

2015-05-27rcu: Convert CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT to boot parameterPaul E. McKenney
The CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT Kconfig parameter is used primarily (and perhaps only) by rcutorture to verify that RCU works correctly in specific rcu_node combining-tree configurations. It therefore does not make much sense have this as a question to people attempting to configure their kernels. So this commit creates an rcutree.rcu_fanout_exact= boot parameter that rcutorture can use, and eliminates the original CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT Kconfig parameter.

2015-05-27rcu: Adjust ->lock acquisition for tasks no longer migratingPaul E. McKenney
Tasks are no longer migrated away from a given rcu_node structure when all CPUs corresponding to that rcu_node structure have gone offline. This means that rcu_read_unlock_special() no longer needs to loop retrying rcu_node ->lock acquisition because the current task is guaranteed to stay put. This commit takes a small and paranoid step towards relying on this guarantee by placing a WARN_ON_ONCE() just after the early exit from the lock-acquisition loop. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2015-05-27rcu: Eliminate a few RCU_BOOST #ifdefs in favor of IS_ENABLED()Paul E. McKenney
This commit removes a few RCU_BOOST #ifdefs, replacing them with IS_ENABLED()-protected return statements. This relies on the optimizer to remove any resulting dead code. There are several other RCU_BOOST #ifdefs, however these rely on some per-CPU variables that are available only under RCU_BOOST. These might be converted later, if the simplification proves to outweigh the increase in memory footprint. One hoped-for advantage is more easily locating compiler errors in obscure combinations of Kconfig parameters. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
