The rcu_gp_slow_register/unregister() is only useful in tests where
torture_type=rcu, so this commit therefore generates ->gp_slow_register()
and ->gp_slow_unregister() function pointers in the rcu_torture_ops
structure, and slows grace periods only when these function pointers
exist.

When the torture_type is set srcu or srcud and cb_barrier is
non-zero, running the rcutorture test will trigger the

When the rcutorture tests start to exit, the rcu_torture_cleanup() is
invoked to stop kthreads and release resources, if the stall-task
kthreads exist, cpu-stall has started and the rcutorture.stall_cpu
is set to a larger value, the rcu_torture_cleanup() will be blocked
for a long time and the hung-task may occur, this commit therefore
add kthread_should_stop() to the loop of cpu-stall operation, when
rcutorture tests ends, no need to wait for cpu-stall to end, exit
directly.
Use the following command to test:
insmod rcutorture.ko torture_type=srcu fwd_progress=0 stat_interval=4

Despite there being a cur_ops->gp_kthread_dbg(), rcu_torture_writer()
unconditionally invokes vanilla RCU's show_rcu_gp_kthreads(). This is not
at all helpful when some other flavor of RCU is being tested. This commit
therefore makes rcu_torture_writer() invoke cur_ops->gp_kthread_dbg()
for RCU implementations providing this function.

Currently, the rcu_torture_pipe_update_one() writes the value (i + 1)
to rp->rtort_pipe_count, then immediately re-reads it in order to compare
it to RCU_TORTURE_PIPE_LEN. This re-read is pointless because no other
update to rp->rtort_pipe_count can occur at this point. This commit
therefore instead re-uses the (i + 1) value stored in the comparison
instead of re-reading rp->rtort_pipe_count.

This patch introduces a small enhancement which allows to do a
direct wake-up of synchronize_rcu() callers. It occurs after a
completion of grace period, thus by the gp-kthread.
Number of clients is limited by the hard-coded maximum allowed
threshold. The remaining part, if still exists is deferred to
a main worker.

Add an rcu_sr_normal() trace event. It takes three arguments
first one is the name of RCU flavour, second one is a user id
which triggeres synchronize_rcu_normal() and last one is an
event.
There are two traces in the synchronize_rcu_normal(). On entry,
when a new request is registered and on exit point when request
is completed.
Please note, CONFIG_RCU_TRACE=y is required to activate traces.

A call to a synchronize_rcu() can be optimized from a latency
point of view. Workloads which depend on this can benefit of it.
The delay of wakeme_after_rcu() callback, which unblocks a waiter,
depends on several factors:
- how fast a process of offloading is started. Combination of:
- !CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU/CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU;
- !CONFIG_RCU_LAZY/CONFIG_RCU_LAZY;
- other.
- when started, invoking path is interrupted due to:
- time limit;
- need_resched();
- if limit is reached.
- where in a nocb list it is located;
- how fast previous callbacks completed;
Example:
1. On our embedded devices i can easily trigger the scenario when
it is a last in the list out of ~3600 callbacks:
<snip>
<...>-29 [001] d..1. 21950.145313: rcu_batch_start: rcu_preempt CBs=3613 bl=28

<snip>
2. We use cpuset/cgroup to classify tasks and assign them into
different cgroups. For example "backgrond" group which binds tasks
only to little CPUs or "foreground" which makes use of all CPUs.
Tasks can be migrated between groups by a request if an acceleration
is needed.
See below an example how "surfaceflinger" task gets migrated.
Initially it is located in the "system-background" cgroup which
allows to run only on little cores. In order to speed it up it
can be temporary moved into "foreground" cgroup which allows
to use big/all CPUs:
cgroup_attach_task():
-> cgroup_migrate_execute()
-> cpuset_can_attach()
-> percpu_down_write()
-> rcu_sync_enter()
-> synchronize_rcu()
-> now move tasks to the new cgroup.
-> cgroup_migrate_finish()
<snip>
rcuop/1-29 [000] ..... 7030.528570: rcu_invoke_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=00000000461605e0 func=wakeme_after_rcu.cfi_jt

TimerDispatch-2768 [002] d..5. 7030.537542: sched_migrate_task: comm=surfaceflinger pid=1900 prio=98 orig_cpu=0 dest_cpu=4
<snip>
"Boosting a task" depends on synchronize_rcu() latency:
- first trace shows a completion of synchronize_rcu();
- second shows attaching a task to a new group;
- last shows a final step when migration occurs.
3. To address this drawback, maintain a separate track that consists
of synchronize_rcu() callers only. After completion of a grace period
users are deferred to a dedicated worker to process requests.
4. This patch reduces the latency of synchronize_rcu() approximately
by ~30-40% on synthetic tests. The real test case, camera launch time,
shows(time is in milliseconds):
1-run 542 vs 489 improvement 9%
2-run 540 vs 466 improvement 13%
3-run 518 vs 468 improvement 9%
4-run 531 vs 457 improvement 13%
5-run 548 vs 475 improvement 13%
6-run 509 vs 484 improvement 4%
Synthetic test(no "noise" from other callbacks):
Hardware: x86_64 64 CPUs, 64GB of memory
Linux-6.6
- 10K tasks(simultaneous);
- each task does(1000 loops)
synchronize_rcu();
kfree(p);
default: CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU: takes 54 seconds to complete all users;
patch: CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU: takes 35 seconds to complete all users.
Running 60K gives approximately same results on my setup. Please note
it is without any interaction with another type of callbacks, otherwise
it will impact a lot a default case.
5. By default it is disabled. To enable this perform one of the
below sequence:
echo 1 > /sys/module/rcutree/parameters/rcu_normal_wake_from_gp
or pass a boot parameter "rcutree.rcu_normal_wake_from_gp=1"

The rcuc-starvation output from print_cpu_stall_info() might overflow the
buffer if there is a huge difference in jiffies difference. The situation
might seem improbable, but computers sometimes get very confused about
time, which can result in full-sized integers, and, in this case,
buffer overflow.
Also, the unsigned jiffies difference is printed using %ld, which is
normally for signed integers. This is intentional for debugging purposes,
but it is not obvious from the code.
This commit therefore changes sprintf() to snprintf() and adds a
clarifying comment about intention of %ld format.

There is a possibility of buffer overflow in
show_rcu_tasks_trace_gp_kthread() if counters, passed
to sprintf() are huge. Counter numbers, needed for this
are unrealistically high, but buffer overflow is still
possible.
Use snprintf() with buffer size instead of sprintf().

Tasks Trace RCU needs a single-byte cmpxchg(), but no such thing exists.
Therefore, rcu_trc_cmpxchg_need_qs() emulates one using field substitution
and a four-byte cmpxchg(), such that the other three bytes are always
atomically updated to their old values. This works, but results in
false-positive KCSAN failures because as far as KCSAN knows, this
cmpxchg() operation is updating all four bytes.
This commit therefore encloses the cmpxchg() in a data_race() and adds
a single-byte instrument_atomic_read_write(), thus telling KCSAN exactly
what is going on so as to avoid the false positives.

Currently, there are rcu_data structure fields named ->rcu_onl_gp_seq
and ->rcu_ofl_gp_seq that track the rcu_state.gp_flags field at the
time of the corresponding CPU's last online or offline operation,
respectively. However, this information is not particularly useful.
It would be better to instead track the grace period state kept
in rcu_state.gp_state. This would also be consistent with the
initialization in rcu_boot_init_percpu_data(), which is to RCU_GP_CLEANED
(an rcu_state.gp_state value), and also with the diagnostics in
rcu_implicit_dynticks_qs(), whose format is consistent with an integer,
not a bitmask.
This commit therefore makes this change and changes the names to
->rcu_onl_gp_flags and ->rcu_ofl_gp_flags, respectively.

Because Tiny RCU is used only in kernels built with either
CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y or CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y, there has not been
any need for TINY RCU to explicitly disable preemption. However, the
prospect of lazy preemption changes that, and preemption means that
the non-atomic increment in synchronize_rcu() can be preempted, with
the possibility that one of the increments is lost. This could cause
failures for users of the APIs that poll RCU grace periods.
This commit therefore adds the needed preempt_disable() and
preempt_enable() call to Tiny RCU.

Currently, if a Kconfig option depends on TASKS_RCU, it conditionally does
"select TASKS_RCU if PREEMPTION". This works, but requires any change in

This commit therefore creates a new NEED_TASKS_RCU Kconfig option so

Right now, TINY_RCU depends on (!PREEMPTION && !SMP), which has served the
kernel well for many years due to the fact that PREEMPT_RCU is normally
a synonym for PREEMPTION. But with the advent of lazy preemption,
it will be possible to have non-preemptible RCU in a preemptible kernel,
so that kernels could be built with PREEMPT_RCU=n and PREEMPTION=y.
This commit therefore makes TINY_RCU depend on (!PREEMPT_RCU && !SMP),
thus allowing for a non-preemptible RCU in preemptible kernels.

Currently, all waits for grace periods sleep at TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE,
regardless of RCU flavor. This has worked well, but there have been
cases where a longer-than-average Tasks RCU grace period has triggered
softlockup splats, many of them, before the Tasks RCU CPU stall warning
appears. These softlockup splats unnecessarily consume console bandwidth
and complicate diagnosis of the underlying problem. Plus a long but not
pathologically long Tasks RCU grace period might trigger a few softlockup
splats before completing normally, which generates noise for no good
reason.
This commit therefore causes Tasks RCU grace periods to sleep at TASK_IDLE
priority. If there really is a persistent problem, the eventual Tasks
RCU CPU stall warning will flag it, and without the extra noise.

The current code will scan the entirety of each per-CPU list of exiting
tasks in ->rtp_exit_list with interrupts disabled. This is normally just
fine, because each CPU typically won't have very many tasks in this state.
However, if a large number of tasks block late in do_exit(), these lists
could be arbitrarily long. Low probability, perhaps, but it really
could happen.
This commit therefore occasionally re-enables interrupts while traversing
these lists, inserting a dummy element to hold the current place in the
list. In kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y, this re-enabling happens
after each list element is processed, otherwise every one-to-two jiffies.

Holding a mutex across synchronize_rcu_tasks() and acquiring
that same mutex in code called from do_exit() after its call to
exit_tasks_rcu_start() but before its call to exit_tasks_rcu_stop()
results in deadlock. This is by design, because tasks that are far
enough into do_exit() are no longer present on the tasks list, making
it a bit difficult for RCU Tasks to find them, let alone wait on them
to do a voluntary context switch. However, such deadlocks are becoming
more frequent. In addition, lockdep currently does not detect such
deadlocks and they can be difficult to reproduce.
In addition, if a task voluntarily context switches during that time
(for example, if it blocks acquiring a mutex), then this task is in an
RCU Tasks quiescent state. And with some adjustments, RCU Tasks could
just as well take advantage of that fact.
This commit therefore eliminates these deadlock by replacing the
SRCU-based wait for do_exit() completion with per-CPU lists of tasks
currently exiting. A given task will be on one of these per-CPU lists for
the same period of time that this task would previously have been in the
previous SRCU read-side critical section. These lists enable RCU Tasks
to find the tasks that have already been removed from the tasks list,
but that must nevertheless be waited upon.
The RCU Tasks grace period gathers any of these do_exit() tasks that it
must wait on, and adds them to the list of holdouts. Per-CPU locking
and get_task_struct() are used to synchronize addition to and removal
from these lists.

In order for RCU Tasks to reliably maintain per-CPU lists of exiting
tasks, those lists must be initialized before it is possible for tasks
to exit, especially given that the boot CPU is not necessarily CPU 0
(an example being, powerpc kexec() kernels). And at the time that
rcu_init_tasks_generic() is called, a task could potentially exit,
unconventional though that sort of thing might be.
This commit therefore moves the calls to cblist_init_generic() from
functions called from rcu_init_tasks_generic() to a new function named
tasks_cblist_init_generic() that is invoked from rcu_init().
This constituted a bug in a commit that never went to mainline, so
there is no need for any backporting to -stable.

However, a dependency chain is involved between those two operations,
as depicted below:
====== CPU 0 ======= ====== CPU 1 =======
synchronize_rcu_expedited()
exp_funnel_lock()
mutex_lock(&rcu_state.exp_mutex);
start_poll_synchronize_rcu_expedited
queue_work(rcu_gp_wq, &rnp->exp_poll_wq);
synchronize_rcu_expedited_queue_work()
queue_work(rcu_gp_wq, &rew->rew_work);
wait_event() // A, wait for &rew->rew_work completion
mutex_unlock() // B
//======> switch to kworker
sync_rcu_do_polled_gp() {
synchronize_rcu_expedited()
exp_funnel_lock()
mutex_lock(&rcu_state.exp_mutex); // C, wait B
....
} // D
Since workqueues are usually implemented on top of several kworkers
handling the queue concurrently, the above situation wouldn't deadlock
most of the time because A then doesn't depend on D. But in case of
memory stress, a single kworker may end up handling alone all the works
in a serialized way. In that case the above layout becomes a problem
because A then waits for D, closing a circular dependency:
A -> D -> C -> B -> A
This however only happens when CONFIG_RCU_EXP_KTHREAD=n. Indeed
synchronize_rcu_expedited() is otherwise implemented on top of a kthread
worker while polling still relies on rcu_gp_wq workqueue, breaking the
above circular dependency chain.
Fix this with making expedited grace period to always rely on kthread
worker. The workqueue based implementation is essentially a duplicate
anyway now that the per-node initialization is performed by per-node
kthread workers.
Meanwhile the CONFIG_RCU_EXP_KTHREAD switch is still kept around to
manage the scheduler policy of these kthread workers.

Affine the parallel expedited gp kworkers to their respective RCU node
in order to make them close to the cache their are playing with.
This reuses the boost kthreads machinery that probe into CPU hotplug
operations such that the kthreads become/stay affine to their respective
node as soon/long as they contain online CPUs. Otherwise and if the
current CPU going down was the last online on the leaf node, the related
kthread is affine to the housekeeping CPUs.
In the long run, this affinity VS CPU hotplug operation game should
probably be implemented at the generic kthread level.

When CONFIG_RCU_EXP_KTHREAD=n, the expedited grace period per node
initialization is performed in parallel via workqueues (one work per
node).
However in CONFIG_RCU_EXP_KTHREAD=y, this per node initialization is
performed by a single kworker serializing each node initialization (one
work for all nodes).
The second part is certainly less scalable and efficient beyond a single
leaf node.
To improve this, expand this single kworker into per-node kworkers. This
new layout is eventually intended to remove the workqueues based
implementation since it will essentially now become duplicate code.
