2019-05-28torture: Allow inter-stutter interval to be specifiedPaul E. McKenney
Currently, the inter-stutter interval is the same as the stutter duration, that is, whatever number of jiffies is passed into torture_stutter_init(). This has worked well for quite some time, but the addition of forward-progress testing to rcutorture can delay processes for several seconds, which can triple the time that they are stuttered. This commit therefore adds a second argument to torture_stutter_init() that specifies the inter-stutter interval. While locktorture preserves the current behavior, rcutorture uses the RCU CPU stall warning interval to provide a wider inter-stutter interval. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.ibm.com>
2019-05-28rcutorture: Fix stutter_wait() return value and freelist checksPaul E. McKenney
The stutter_wait() function is supposed to return true if it actually waits and false otherwise, but it instead unconditionally returns false. Which hides a bug in rcu_torture_writer() that fails to account for the fact that one of the rcu_tortures[] array elements will normally be referenced by rcu_torture_current, and thus not be on the freelist. This commit therefore corrects the stutter_wait() return value and adds a check for rcu_torture_current to rcu_torture_writer()'s check that things get freed after everything goes quiescent. In addition, this commit causes torture_stutter() to give a bit more than one second (instead of only one jiffy) warning of the end of the stutter interval. Finally, this commit disables long-delay readers and aggressive update-side forward-progress checks while forward-progress testing is in flight.

2019-01-25rcutorture: Add grace period after CPU offlinePaul E. McKenney
Beyond a certain point in the CPU-hotplug offline process, timers get stranded on the outgoing CPU, and won't fire until that CPU comes back online, which might well be never. This commit therefore adds a hook in torture_onoff_init() that is invoked from torture_offline(), which rcutorture uses to occasionally wait for a grace period. This should result in failures for RCU implementations that rely on stranded timers eventually firing in the absence of the CPU coming back online.

2018-12-01torture: Bring any extra CPUs online during kernel startupPaul E. McKenney
Currently, the torture scripts rely on the initrd/init script to bring any extra CPUs online, for example, in the case where the kernel and qemu have different ideas about how many CPUs are present. This works, but is an unnecessary dependency on initrd, which needs to vary depending on the distro. This commit therefore causes torture_onoff() to check for additional CPUs, attempting to bring any found online. Errors are ignored, just as they are by the initrd/init script. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2018-08-29rcutorture: Check GP completion at stutter endPaul E. McKenney
The rcu_torture_writer() function invokes stutter_wait() at the end of each writer pass, which occasionally blocks for an extended time period in order to ensure that RCU can handle intermittent loads. But part of handling a busy period is invoking all the callbacks before the end of the idle period induced by stutter_wait(). This commit therefore adds a return value to stutter_wait() indicating whether stutter_wait() actually waited. In addition, this commit causes rcu_torture_writer() to test this value and if set, checks that all the elements of the rcu_tortures[] array have been freed up. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2018-06-25torture: Keep old-school dmesg formatPaul E. McKenney
This commit adds "#define pr_fmt(fmt) fmt" to the torture-test files in order to keep the current dmesg format. Once Joe's commits have hit mainline, these definitions will be changed in order to automatically generate the dmesg line prefix that the scripts expect. This will have the beneficial side-effect of allowing printk() formats to be used more widely and of shortening some pr_*() lines. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2018-06-25torture: Make online/offline messages appear only for verbose=2Paul E. McKenney
Some bugs reproduce quickly only at high CPU-hotplug rates, so the rcutorture TREE03 scenario now has only 200 milliseconds spacing between CPU-hotplug operations. At this rate, the torture-test pair of console messages per operation becomes a bit voluminous. This commit therefore converts the torture-test set of "verbose" kernel-boot arguments from bool to int, and prints the extra console messages only when verbose=2. The default is still verbose=1.

2018-05-15rcu: Rename cond_resched_rcu_qs() to cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs()Paul E. McKenney
Commit e31d28b6ab8f ("trace: Eliminate cond_resched_rcu_qs() in favor of cond_resched()") substituted cond_resched() for the earlier call to cond_resched_rcu_qs(). However, the new-age cond_resched() does not do anything to help RCU-tasks grace periods because (1) RCU-tasks is only enabled when CONFIG_PREEMPT=y and (2) cond_resched() is a complete no-op when preemption is enabled. This situation results in hangs when running the trace benchmarks. A number of potential fixes were discussed on LKML (https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180224151240.0d63a059@vmware.local.home), including making cond_resched() not be a no-op; making cond_resched() not be a no-op, but only when running tracing benchmarks; reverting the aforementioned commit (which works because cond_resched_rcu_qs() does provide an RCU-tasks quiescent state; and adding a call to the scheduler/RCU rcu_note_voluntary_context_switch() function. All were deemed unsatisfactory, either due to added cond_resched() overhead or due to magic functions inviting cargo culting. This commit renames cond_resched_rcu_qs() to cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs(), which provides a clear hint as to what this function is doing and why and where it should be used, and then replaces the call to cond_resched() with cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs() in the trace benchmark's benchmark_event_kthread() function.

2017-12-11torture: Eliminate torture_runnable and perf_runnablePaul E. McKenney
The purpose of torture_runnable is to allow rcutorture and locktorture to be started and stopped via sysfs when they are built into the kernel (as in not compiled as loadable modules). However, the 0444 permissions for both instances of torture_runnable prevent this use case from ever being put into practice. Given that there have been no complaints about this deficiency, it is reasonable to conclude that no one actually makes use of this sysfs capability. The perf_runnable module parameter for rcuperf is in the same situation. This commit therefore removes both torture_runnable instances as well as perf_runnable.

2017-12-11torture: Make stutter less vulnerable to compilers and racesPaul E. McKenney
The stutter_wait() function repeatedly fetched stutter_pause_test, and should really just fetch it once on each pass. The races should be harmless, but why have the races? Also, the whole point of the value "2" for stutter_pause_test is to get everyone to start at very nearly the same time, but the value "2" was the first jiffy of the stutter rather than the last jiffy of the stutter. This commit rearranges the code to be more sensible. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2017-11-28torture: Suppress CPU stall warnings during shutdown ftrace dumpPaul E. McKenney
The torture_shutdown() function directly invokes ftrace_dump(), which can result in RCU CPU stall warnings when the ftrace buffer is large, which it usually is.

The torture status line contains a series of values preceded by "onoff:". The last value in that line, the one preceding the "HZ=" string, is always zero. The reason that it is always zero is that torture_offline() was incrementing the sum_offl pointer instead of the value that this pointer referenced. This commit therefore makes this increment operate on the statistic rather than the pointer to the statistic. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

2016-08-22torture: Convert torture_shutdown() to hrtimerPaul E. McKenney
Upcoming changes to the timer wheel introduce significant inaccuracy and possibly also an ultimate limit on timeout duration. This is a problem for the current implementation of torture_shutdown() because (1) shutdown times are user-specified, and can therefore be quite long, and (2) the torture scripting will kill a test instance that runs for more than a few minutes longer than scheduled. This commit therefore converts the torture_shutdown() timed waits to an hrtimer, thus avoiding too-short torture test runs as well as death by scripting. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

When performing module cleanups by calling torture_cleanup() the 'torture_type' string in nullified However, callers are not necessarily done, and might still need to reference the variable. This impacts both rcutorture and locktorture, causing printing things like: [ 94.226618] (null)-torture: Stopping lock_torture_writer task [ 94.226624] (null)-torture: Stopping lock_torture_stats task Thus delay this operation until the very end of the cleanup process.

2014-02-23rcutorture: Abstract torture_stop_kthread()Paul E. McKenney
Stopping of kthreads is not RCU-specific, so this commit abstracts out torture_stop_kthread(), saving a few lines of code in the process. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org>
2014-02-23rcutorture: Abstract torture_create_kthread()Paul E. McKenney
Creation of kthreads is not RCU-specific, so this commit abstracts out torture_create_kthread(), saving a few tens of lines of code in the process. This change requires modifying VERBOSE_TOROUT_ERRSTRING() to take a non-const string, so that _torture_create_kthread() can avoid an open-coded substitute. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2014-02-23rcutorture: Fix rcutorture shutdown racesPaul E. McKenney
Not all of the rcutorture kthreads waited for kthread_should_stop() before returning from their top-level functions, and none of them used torture_shutdown_absorb() properly. These problems can result in segfaults and hangs at shutdown time, and some recent changes perturbed timing sufficiently to make them much more probable. This commit therefore creates a torture_kthread_stopping() function that does the proper kthread shutdown dance in one centralized location. Accommodate this grouping by making VERBOSE_TOROUT_STRING() capable of taking a non-const string as its argument, which allows the new torture_kthread_stopping() to pass its "title" argument directly to the updated version of VERBOSE_TOROUT_STRING().

2014-02-23rcutorture: Announce task creationPaul E. McKenney
A few "stealth-start rcutorture kthreads" have accumulated over the years, so this commit adds console-log announcements (but only if the torture tests are running verbose). Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org>
2014-02-23rcutorture: Abstract torture_shutdown()Paul E. McKenney
Because auto-shutdown of torture testing is not specific to RCU, this commit moves the auto-shutdown function to kernel/torture.c. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org>
2014-02-23rcutorture: Apply ACCESS_ONCE() to racy fullstop accessesPaul E. McKenney
Because the fullstop variable can be accessed while it is being updated, this commit avoids any resulting compiler mischief through use of ACCESS_ONCE() for non-initialization accesses to this shared variable.

2014-02-23rcutorture: Abstract stutter_wait()Paul E. McKenney
Because stuttering the test load (stopping and restarting it) is useful for non-RCU testing, this commit moves the load-stuttering functionality to kernel/torture.c. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org>
2014-02-23rcutorture: Add diagnostic for unscheduled system shutdownPaul E. McKenney
Currently, rcutorture can terminate via rmmod, via self-shutdown, via something else shutting the system down, or of course the usual catastrophic termination. The first two get flagged, so this commit adds a message for the third. For the fourth, your warranty is void as always. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2014-02-23rcutorture: Privatize fullstopPaul E. McKenney
This commit introduces the torture_must_stop() function in order to keep use of the fullstop variable local to kernel/torture.c. There is also a torture_must_stop_irq() counterpart for use from RCU callbacks, timeout handlers, and the like. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2014-02-23rcutorture: Abstract torture_shutdown_notify()Paul E. McKenney
Because handling the race between rmmod and system shutdown is not specific to RCU, this commit abstracts torture_shutdown_notify(), placing this code into kernel/torture.c. This change also allows fullstop_mutex to be private to kernel/torture.c. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org>

2014-02-23rcutorture: Abstract torture-test initializationPaul E. McKenney
This commit creates torture_init_begin() and torture_init_end() functions to abstract locking and allow the torture_type and verbose variables in kernel/torture.o to become static. With a bit more abstraction, fullstop_mutex will also become static. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org>
2014-02-23rcutorture: Abstract torture_onoff()Paul E. McKenney

2014-02-23rcutorture: Abstract torture_shuffle()Paul E. McKenney
The torture_shuffle() function forces each CPU in turn to go idle periodically in order to check for problems interacting with per-CPU variables and with dyntick-idle mode. Because this sort of debugging is not specific to RCU, this commit abstracts that functionality. This in turn requires abstracting some additional infrastructure. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
