This commit causes rcutorture to test the new start_poll_synchronize_rcu()
and poll_state_synchronize_rcu() functions. Because of the difficulty of
determining the nature of a synchronous RCU grace (expedited or not),
the test that insisted that poll_state_synchronize_rcu() detect an
intervening synchronize_rcu() had to be dropped.

There is a need for a non-blocking polling interface for RCU grace
periods, so this commit supplies start_poll_synchronize_rcu() and
poll_state_synchronize_rcu() for this purpose. Note that the existing
get_state_synchronize_rcu() may be used if future grace periods are
inevitable (perhaps due to a later call_rcu() invocation). The new
start_poll_synchronize_rcu() is to be used if future grace periods
might not otherwise happen. Finally, poll_state_synchronize_rcu()
provides a lockless check for a grace period having elapsed since
the corresponding call to either of the get_state_synchronize_rcu()
or start_poll_synchronize_rcu().
As with get_state_synchronize_rcu(), the return value from either
get_state_synchronize_rcu() or start_poll_synchronize_rcu() is passed in
to a later call to either poll_state_synchronize_rcu() or the existing
(might_sleep) cond_synchronize_rcu().

Currently, the bypass is flushed at the very last moment in the
deoffloading procedure. However, this approach leads to a larger state
space than would be preferred. This commit therefore disables the
bypass at soon as the deoffloading procedure begins, then flushes it.
This guarantees that the bypass remains empty and thus out of the way
of the deoffloading procedure.
Symmetrically, this commit waits to enable the bypass until the offloading
procedure has completed.

This sequence of events can lead to a failure to requeue a CPU's
->nocb_timer:
1. There are no callbacks queued for any CPU covered by CPU 0-2's
->nocb_gp_kthread. Note that ->nocb_gp_kthread is associated
with CPU 0.
2. CPU 1 enqueues its first callback with interrupts disabled, and
thus must defer awakening its ->nocb_gp_kthread. It therefore
queues its rcu_data structure's ->nocb_timer. At this point,
CPU 1's rdp->nocb_defer_wakeup is RCU_NOCB_WAKE.
3. CPU 2, which shares the same ->nocb_gp_kthread, also enqueues a
callback, but with interrupts enabled, allowing it to directly
awaken the ->nocb_gp_kthread.
4. The newly awakened ->nocb_gp_kthread associates both CPU 1's
and CPU 2's callbacks with a future grace period and arranges
for that grace period to be started.
5. This ->nocb_gp_kthread goes to sleep waiting for the end of this
future grace period.
6. This grace period elapses before the CPU 1's timer fires.
This is normally improbably given that the timer is set for only
one jiffy, but timers can be delayed. Besides, it is possible
that kernel was built with CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y.
7. The grace period ends, so rcu_gp_kthread awakens the
->nocb_gp_kthread, which in turn awakens both CPU 1's and
CPU 2's ->nocb_cb_kthread. Then ->nocb_gb_kthread sleeps
waiting for more newly queued callbacks.
8. CPU 1's ->nocb_cb_kthread invokes its callback, then sleeps
waiting for more invocable callbacks.
9. Note that neither kthread updated any ->nocb_timer state,
so CPU 1's ->nocb_defer_wakeup is still set to RCU_NOCB_WAKE.
10. CPU 1 enqueues its second callback, this time with interrupts
enabled so it can wake directly ->nocb_gp_kthread.
It does so with calling wake_nocb_gp() which also cancels the
pending timer that got queued in step 2. But that doesn't reset
CPU 1's ->nocb_defer_wakeup which is still set to RCU_NOCB_WAKE.
So CPU 1's ->nocb_defer_wakeup and its ->nocb_timer are now
desynchronized.
11. ->nocb_gp_kthread associates the callback queued in 10 with a new
grace period, arranges for that grace period to start and sleeps
waiting for it to complete.
12. The grace period ends, rcu_gp_kthread awakens ->nocb_gp_kthread,
which in turn wakes up CPU 1's ->nocb_cb_kthread which then
invokes the callback queued in 10.
13. CPU 1 enqueues its third callback, this time with interrupts
disabled so it must queue a timer for a deferred wakeup. However
the value of its ->nocb_defer_wakeup is RCU_NOCB_WAKE which
incorrectly indicates that a timer is already queued. Instead,
CPU 1's ->nocb_timer was cancelled in 10. CPU 1 therefore fails
to queue the ->nocb_timer.
14. CPU 1 has its pending callback and it may go unnoticed until
some other CPU ever wakes up ->nocb_gp_kthread or CPU 1 ever
calls an explicit deferred wakeup, for example, during idle entry.
This commit fixes this bug by resetting rdp->nocb_defer_wakeup everytime
we delete the ->nocb_timer.
It is quite possible that there is a similar scenario involving
->nocb_bypass_timer and ->nocb_defer_wakeup. However, despite some
effort from several people, a failure scenario has not yet been located.
However, that by no means guarantees that no such scenario exists.
Finding a failure scenario is left as an exercise for the reader, and the
"Fixes:" tag below relates to ->nocb_bypass_timer instead of ->nocb_timer.

This commit adds a trace event which allows tracing the beginnings of RCU
CPU stall warnings on systems where sysctl_panic_on_rcu_stall is disabled.
The first parameter is the name of RCU flavor like other trace events.
The second parameter indicates whether this is a stall of an expedited
grace period, a self-detected stall of a normal grace period, or a stall
of a normal grace period detected by some CPU other than the one that
is stalled.
RCU CPU stall warnings are often caused by external-to-RCU issues,
for example, in interrupt handling or task scheduling. Therefore,
this event uses TRACE_EVENT, not TRACE_EVENT_RCU, to avoid requiring
those interested in tracing RCU CPU stalls to rebuild their kernels
with CONFIG_RCU_TRACE=y.

Because preemptible RCU's __rcu_read_unlock() is an external function,
the rough equivalent of an implicit barrier() is inserted by the compiler.
Except that there is a direct call to __rcu_read_unlock() in that same
file, and compilers are getting to the point where they might choose to
inline the fastpath of the __rcu_read_unlock() function.
This commit therefore adds an explicit barrier() to the very beginning
of __rcu_read_unlock().

In kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y, every grace
period is an expedited grace period. However, rcu_read_unlock_special()
does not treat them that way, instead allowing the deferred quiescent
state to be reported whenever. This commit therefore adds a check of
this Kconfig option that causes rcu_read_unlock_special() to treat all
grace periods as expedited for CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y kernels.

Currently, rcutorture refuses to test RCU priority boosting in
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y kernels, which are the only kind normally built on
x86 these days. This commit therefore updates rcutorture's tests of RCU
priority boosting to make them safe for CPU hotplug. However, these tests
will fail unless TIMER_SOFTIRQ runs at realtime priority, which does not
happen in current mainline. This commit therefore also refuses to test
RCU priority boosting except in kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y.
While in the area, this commt adds some debug output at boost-fail time
that helps diagnose the cause of the failure, for example, failing to
run TIMER_SOFTIRQ at realtime priority.

Historically, a task that has been subjected to RCU priority boosting is
deboosted at rcu_read_unlock() time. However, with the advent of deferred
quiescent states, if the outermost rcu_read_unlock() was invoked with
either bottom halves, interrupts, or preemption disabled, the deboosting
will be delayed for some time. During this time, a low-priority process
might be incorrectly running at a high real-time priority level.
Fortunately, rcu_read_unlock_special() already provides mechanisms for
forcing a minimal deferral of quiescent states, at least for kernels
built with CONFIG_IRQ_WORK=y. These mechanisms are currently used
when expedited grace periods are pending that might be blocked by the
current task. This commit therefore causes those mechanisms to also be
used in cases where the current task has been or might soon be subjected
to RCU priority boosting. Note that this applies to all kernels built
with CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y, regardless of whether or not they are also
built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y.
This approach assumes that kernels build for use with aggressive real-time
applications are built with CONFIG_IRQ_WORK=y. It is likely to be far
simpler to enable CONFIG_IRQ_WORK=y than to implement a fast-deboosting
scheme that works correctly in its absence.
While in the area, alphabetize the rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handler()
function's local variables.

At the start of a CPU-hotplug operation, the incoming CPU's callback
list can be in a number of states:
1. Disabled and empty. This is the case when the boot CPU has
not invoked call_rcu(), when a non-boot CPU first comes online,
and when a non-offloaded CPU comes back online. In this case,
it is both necessary and permissible to initialize ->cblist.
Because either the CPU is currently running with interrupts
disabled (boot CPU) or is not yet running at all (other CPUs),
it is not necessary to acquire ->nocb_lock.
In this case, initialization is required.
2. Disabled and non-empty. This cannot occur, because early boot
call_rcu() invocations enable the callback list before enqueuing
their callback.
3. Enabled, whether empty or not. In this case, the callback
list has already been initialized. This case occurs when the
boot CPU has executed an early boot call_rcu() and also when
an offloaded CPU comes back online. In both cases, there is
no need to initialize the callback list: In the boot-CPU case,
the CPU has not (yet) gone offline, and in the offloaded case,
the rcuo kthreads are taking care of business.
Because it is not necessary to initialize the callback list,
it is also not necessary to acquire ->nocb_lock.
Therefore, checking if the segcblist is enabled suffices. This commit
therefore initializes the callback list at rcutree_prepare_cpu() time
only if that list is disabled.

The nocb_cb_wait() function first sets the rdp->nocb_cb_sleep flag to
true by after invoking the callbacks, and then sets it back to false if
it finds more callbacks that are ready to invoke.
This is confusing and will become unsafe if this flag is ever read
locklessly. This commit therefore writes it only once, based on the
state after both callback invocation and checking.

It makes no sense to de-offload an offline CPU because that CPU will never
invoke any remaining callbacks. It also makes little sense to offload an
offline CPU because any pending RCU callbacks were migrated when that CPU
went offline. Yes, it is in theory possible to use a number of tricks
to permit offloading and deoffloading offline CPUs in certain cases, but
in practice it is far better to have the simple and deterministic rule
"Toggling the offload state of an offline CPU is forbidden".
For but one example, consider that an offloaded offline CPU might have
millions of callbacks queued. Best to just say "no".
This commit therefore forbids toggling of the offloaded state of
offline CPUs.

Provide CONFIG_PROVE_RCU sanity checks to ensure we are always reading
the offloaded state of an rdp in a safe and stable way and prevent from
its value to be changed under us. We must either hold the barrier mutex,
the cpu-hotplug lock (read or write) or the nocb lock.
Local non-preemptible reads are also safe. NOCB kthreads and timers have
their own means of synchronization against the offloaded state updaters.

The single-argument variant of kfree_rcu() is currently not
tested by any member of the rcutoture test suite. This
commit therefore adds rcuscale code to test it. This
testing is controlled by two new boolean module parameters,
kfree_rcu_test_single and kfree_rcu_test_double. If one
is set and the other not, only the corresponding variant
is tested, otherwise both are tested, with the variant to
be tested determined randomly on each invocation.
Both of these module parameters are initialized to false,
so setting either to true will test only that variant.

of physical memory.
For example, a KVM test configuration with 64 CPUs and 512 megabytes
can result in OOM when running rcuscale with below parameters:
../kvm.sh --torture rcuscale --allcpus --duration 10 --kconfig CONFIG_NR_CPUS=64 \

GFP settings must be balanced against the overhead of the fallback path,
which is a cache miss for double-argument kvfree_rcu() and a call to
synchronize_rcu() for single-argument kvfree_rcu(). The current choice
of GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_NOWARN can result in longer latencies than a call
to synchronize_rcu(), so less-tenacious GFP flags would be helpful.
Here is the tradeoff that must be balanced:
a) Minimize use of the fallback path,
b) Avoid pushing the system into OOM,
c) Bound allocation latency to that of synchronize_rcu(), and
d) Leave the emergency reserves to use cases lacking fallbacks.
This commit therefore changes GFP flags from GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_NOWARN to
GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_NORETRY|__GFP_NOMEMALLOC|__GFP_NOWARN. This combination
leaves the emergency reserves alone and can initiate reclaim, but will
not invoke the OOM killer.

__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL can spend quite a bit of time reclaiming, and this
can be wasted effort given that there is a fallback code path in case
memory allocation fails.
__GFP_NORETRY does perform some light-weight reclaim, but it will fail
under OOM conditions, allowing the fallback to be taken as an alternative
to hard-OOMing the system.
There is a four-way tradeoff that must be balanced:
1) Minimize use of the fallback path;
2) Avoid full-up OOM;
3) Do a light-wait allocation request;
4) Avoid dipping into the emergency reserves.

The krc_this_cpu_unlock() function does a raw_spin_unlock() immediately
followed by a local_irq_restore(). This commit saves a line of code by
merging them into a raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(). This transformation
also reduces scheduling latency because raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore()
responds immediately to a reschedule request. In contrast,
local_irq_restore() does a scheduling-oblivious enabling of interrupts.

Single-argument kvfree_rcu() must be invoked from sleepable contexts,
so we can directly allocate pages. Furthermmore, the fallback in case
of page-allocation failure is the high-latency synchronize_rcu(), so it
makes sense to do these page allocations from the fastpath, and even to
permit limited sleeping within the allocator.
This commit therefore allocates if needed on the fastpath using
GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL. This also has the beneficial effect
of leaving kvfree_rcu()'s per-CPU caches to the double-argument variant
of kvfree_rcu(), given that the double-argument variant cannot directly
invoke the allocator.

In rcu_nmi_enter(), there is an erroneous instrumentation_end() in the
second branch of the "if" statement. Oddly enough, "objtool check -f
vmlinux.o" fails to complain because it is unable to correctly cover
all cases. Instead, objtool visits the third branch first, which marks
following trace_rcu_dyntick() as visited. This commit therefore removes
the spurious instrumentation_end().

The condition in the trace_rcu_grace_period() in rcutree_dying_cpu() is
backwards, so that it uses the string "cpuofl" when the offline CPU is
blocking the current grace period and "cpuofl-bgp" otherwise. Given that
the "-bgp" stands for "blocking grace period", this is at best misleading.
This commit therefore switches these strings in order to correctly trace
whether the outgoing cpu blocks the current grace period.

With the core bitmap support now accepting "N" as a placeholder for
the end of the bitmap, "all" can be represented as "0-N" and has the
advantage of not being specific to RCU (or any other subsystem).
So deprecate the use of "all" by removing documentation references
to it. The support itself needs to remain for now, since we don't
know how many people out there are using it currently, but since it
is in an __init area anyway, it isn't worth losing sleep over.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Core scheduler updates:
- Add CONFIG_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC: this in its current form adds the
preempt=none/voluntary/full boot options (default: full), to allow
distros to build a PREEMPT kernel but fall back to close to
PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY (or PREEMPT_NONE) runtime scheduling behavior via
a boot time selection.
There's also the /debug/sched_debug switch to do this runtime.
This feature is implemented via runtime patching (a new variant of
static calls).
The scope of the runtime patching can be best reviewed by looking
at the sched_dynamic_update() function in kernel/sched/core.c.
( Note that the dynamic none/voluntary mode isn't 100% identical,
for example preempt-RCU is available in all cases, plus the
preempt count is maintained in all models, which has runtime
overhead even with the code patching. )
The PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY/PREEMPT_NONE models, used by the vast
majority of distributions, are supposed to be unaffected.
- Fix ignored rescheduling after rcu_eqs_enter(). This is a bug that
was found via rcutorture triggering a hang. The bug is that
rcu_idle_enter() may wake up a NOCB kthread, but this happens after
the last generic need_resched() check. Some cpuidle drivers fix it
by chance but many others don't.
In true 2020 fashion the original bug fix has grown into a 5-patch
scheduler/RCU fix series plus another 16 RCU patches to address the
underlying issue of missed preemption events. These are the initial
fixes that should fix current incarnations of the bug.
- Clean up rbtree usage in the scheduler, by providing & using the
following consistent set of rbtree APIs:
partial-order; less() based:
- rb_add(): add a new entry to the rbtree
- rb_add_cached(): like rb_add(), but for a rb_root_cached
total-order; cmp() based:
- rb_find(): find an entry in an rbtree
- rb_find_add(): find an entry, and add if not found
- rb_find_first(): find the first (leftmost) matching entry
- rb_next_match(): continue from rb_find_first()
- rb_for_each(): iterate a sub-tree using the previous two
- Improve the SMP/NUMA load-balancer: scan for an idle sibling in a
single pass. This is a 4-commit series where each commit improves
one aspect of the idle sibling scan logic.
- Improve the cpufreq cooling driver by getting the effective CPU
utilization metrics from the scheduler
- Improve the fair scheduler's active load-balancing logic by
reducing the number of active LB attempts & lengthen the
load-balancing interval. This improves stress-ng mmapfork
performance.
- Fix CFS's estimated utilization (util_est) calculation bug that can
result in too high utilization values
Misc updates & fixes:
- Fix the HRTICK reprogramming & optimization feature
- Fix SCHED_SOFTIRQ raising race & warning in the CPU offlining code
- Reduce dl_add_task_root_domain() overhead
- Fix uprobes refcount bug
- Process pending softirqs in flush_smp_call_function_from_idle()
- Clean up task priority related defines, remove *USER_*PRIO and
USER_PRIO()
- Simplify the sched_init_numa() deduplication sort
- Documentation updates
- Fix EAS bug in update_misfit_status(), which degraded the quality
of energy-balancing
- Smaller cleanups"

Entering RCU idle mode may cause a deferred wake up of an RCU NOCB_GP
kthread (rcuog) to be serviced.
Unfortunately the call to rcu_user_enter() is already past the last
rescheduling opportunity before we resume to userspace or to guest mode.
We may escape there with the woken task ignored.
The ultimate resort to fix every callsites is to trigger a self-IPI
(nohz_full depends on arch to implement arch_irq_work_raise()) that will
trigger a reschedule on IRQ tail or guest exit.
Eventually every site that want a saner treatment will need to carefully
place a call to rcu_nocb_flush_deferred_wakeup() before the last explicit
need_resched() check upon resume.

Entering RCU idle mode may cause a deferred wake up of an RCU NOCB_GP
kthread (rcuog) to be serviced.
Usually a local wake up happening while running the idle task is handled
in one of the need_resched() checks carefully placed within the idle
loop that can break to the scheduler.
Unfortunately the call to rcu_idle_enter() is already beyond the last
generic need_resched() check and we may halt the CPU with a resched
request unhandled, leaving the task hanging.
Fix this with splitting the rcuog wakeup handling from rcu_idle_enter()
and place it before the last generic need_resched() check in the idle
loop. It is then assumed that no call to call_rcu() will be performed
after that in the idle loop until the CPU is put in low power mode.

The debug-object double-free checks in __call_rcu() print out the
RCU callback function, which is usually sufficient to track down the
double free. However, all uses of things like queue_rcu_work() will
have the same RCU callback function (rcu_work_rcufn() in this case),
so a diagnostic message for a double queue_rcu_work() needs more than
just the callback function.
This commit therefore calls mem_dump_obj() to dump out any additional
available information on the double-freed callback.

The TREE01 rcutorture scenario intentionally creates confusion as to the
number of available CPUs by specifying the "maxcpus=8 nr_cpus=43" kernel
boot parameters. This can disable rcutorture's load shedding, which
currently uses num_online_cpus(), which would count the extra 35 CPUs.
However, the rcutorture guest OS will be provisioned with only 8 CPUs,
which means that rcutorture will present full load even when all but one
of the original 8 CPUs are offline. This can result in spurious errors
due to extreme overloading of that single remaining CPU.
This commit therefore keeps a separate set of books on the number of
usable online CPUs, so that torture_num_online_cpus() is used for load
shedding instead of num_online_cpus(). Note that initial sizing must
use num_online_cpus() because torture_num_online_cpus() will return
NR_CPUS until shortly after torture_onoff_init() is invoked.

Because rcu_torture_writer() and rcu_torture_fakewriter() predate

for this by making the synctype[] and nsynctype variables be static

rcu_torture_init() just before the first writer kthread is spawned.

Currently, the rcu_torture_writer() function checks that all required
grace periods elapse during a stutter interval, which is a multi-second
time period during which the test load is removed. However, this check
is suppressed during early boot (that is, before init is spawned) in
order to avoid false positives that otherwise occur due to heavy load
on the single boot CPU.
Unfortunately, this approach is insufficient. It is possible that the
stutter interval might end just as init is spawned, so that early boot
conditions prevailed during almost the entire stutter interval.
This commit therefore takes a snapshot of boot-complete state just
before the stutter interval, thus suppressing the check for failure to
complete grace periods unless the entire stutter interval took place
after early boot.
