2018-08-29rcutorture: Limit reader duration if irq or bh disabledPaul E. McKenney
There are debug checks in some environments that will complain if the duration of a bh-disabled region of code exceeds about 50 milliseconds. Because rcu_read_delay() can produce a 50-millisecond delay and because there could be up to eight reader segments with such delays, this commit limits the maximum delay to 10 milliseconds if either interrupts or softirqs are disabled.

2018-08-29rcutorture: Increase rcu_read_delay() longdelay_msPaul E. McKenney
RCU now takes certain actions 100 and 200 milliseconds into a grace period by default, but rcutorture only runs RCU read-side critical sections with durations up to 50 milliseconds. This commit therefore increases test coverage by increasing the maximum critical-section duration to 300 milliseconds. Note that the existing code automatically dials down the probability of long delays based on the maximum duration, which means that this change should not significantly change the rate of execution of RCU read-side critical sections.

2018-08-29rcutorture: Add self-propagating callback to forward-progress testingPaul E. McKenney
If rcutorture is run on a quiet system with the rcutorture.stutter module parameter set high, then there can legitimately be an extended period during which no RCU forward progress takes place. This can result in false-positive no-forward-progress splats. This commit therefore makes rcu_torture_fwd_prog() create a self-propagating RCU callback to ensure that grace periods are in progress for the duration of the forward-progress test. Note that the RCU flavor under test must define ->call(), ->sync(), and ->cb_barrier() for this self-propagating callback to be created. If one or more of those rcu_torture_ops fields are NULL, then the rcu_torture_fwd_prog() function will silently proceed without creating the self-propagating callback. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2018-08-29rcutorture: Vary forward-progress test intervalPaul E. McKenney
Some of the Linux kernel's RCU implementations provide several mechanisms to promote forward progress that operate over different timeframes. This commit therefore causes rcu_torture_fwd_prog() to vary the duration of its forward-progress testing in order to test each such mechanism. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2018-08-29rcutorture: Avoid no-test complaint if too few forward-progress triesPaul E. McKenney
In a too-short test, random delays can cause each attempt to do forward-progress testing to fail to complete, thus resulting in spurious splats. This commit therefore requires at least five tries before complaining about rcutorture runs that failed to produce at least one valid forward-progress testing attempt. Note that actual forward-progress failures will splat regardless of the number of tries. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2018-08-29rcutorture: Also use GP sequence to judge forward progressPaul E. McKenney
Currently, rcutorture relies solely on the progress of rcu_torture_writer() to judge grace-period forward progress. In theory, this is the gold standard of forward progress, but in practice rcutorture separately detects and reports rcu_torture_writer() stalls. This commit therefore adds the grace-period sequence number (when provided) to the judgment of grace-period forward progress, which makes it easier to distinguish between failure of actual grace periods to progress on the one hand and downstream forward-progress failures on the other. For example, given this change, if rcu_torture_writer() stalls, but rcu_torture_fwd_prog() does not complain, then the grace-period computation is working, which is a hint that the failure lies in callback processing, wakeup of the rcu_torture_writer() kthread, or similar.

2018-08-29rcutorture: Add forward-progress tests for RCU grace periodsPaul E. McKenney
This commit adds a kthread that loops going into and out of RCU read-side critical sections, but also including a cond_resched(), optionally guarded by a check of need_resched(), in that same loop. This commit relies solely on rcu_torture_writer() progress to judge the forward progress of grace periods. Note that Tasks RCU and SRCU are exempted from forward-progress testing due their (intentionally) less-robust forward-progress guarantees. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2018-08-29rcutorture: Warn on bad torture type for built-in testsPaul E. McKenney
When running a built-in rcutorture test, specifying an invalid torture type results in what looks like a hard hang, with the error messages hidden by other boot-time output. This commit therefore executes a WARN_ON() in this case so that the splat appears just following the error messages. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2018-08-29rcutorture: Force occasional reader waitsPaul E. McKenney
Deferred quiescent states can interact with the scheduler, but rcu_torture_reader() does not force such interaction all that frequently. This commit therefore blocks for one jiffy after ten jiffies of read-side runtime. This has the beneficial effect of being most likely to block just after long-running readers, and it is exactly these readers that are most likely to have been preempted (in CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels). This in turn helps increase the probability that a deferred quiescent state will be seen by RCU's context-switch hooks. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

2018-07-12rcutorture: Fix rcu_barrier successes counterJoel Fernandes (Google)
The rcutorture test module currently increments both successes and error for the barrier test upon error, which results in misleading statistics being printed. This commit therefore changes the code to increment the success counter only when the test actually passes. This change was tested by by returning from the barrier callback without incrementing the callback counter, thus introducing what appeared to rcutorture to be rcu_barrier() failures.

2018-07-12rcutorture: Add support to detect if boost kthread prio is too lowJoel Fernandes (Google)
When rcutorture is built in to the kernel, an earlier patch detects that and raises the priority of RCU's kthreads to allow rcutorture's RCU priority boosting tests to succeed. However, if rcutorture is built as a module, those priorities must be raised manually via the rcutree.kthread_prio kernel boot parameter. If this manual step is not taken, rcutorture's RCU priority boosting tests will fail due to kthread starvation. One approach would be to raise the default priority, but that risks breaking existing users. Another approach would be to allow runtime adjustment of RCU's kthread priorities, but that introduces numerous "interesting" race conditions. This patch therefore instead detects too-low priorities, and prints a message and disables the RCU priority boosting tests in that case.

2018-07-12rcutorture: Use monotonic timestamp for stall detectionArnd Bergmann
The get_seconds() call is deprecated because it overflows on 32-bit architectures. The algorithm in rcu_torture_stall() can deal with the overflow, but another problem here is that using a CLOCK_REALTIME stamp can lead to a false-positive stall warning when a settimeofday() happens concurrently. Using ktime_get_seconds() instead avoids those issues and will never overflow. The added cast to 'unsigned long' however is necessary to make ULONG_CMP_LT() work correctly.

2018-07-12rcutorture: Make boost test more robustJoel Fernandes (Google)
Currently, with RCU_BOOST disabled, I get no failures when forcing rcutorture to test RCU boost priority inversion. The reason seems to be that we don't check for failures if the callback never ran at all for the duration of the boost-test loop. Further, the 'rtb' and 'rtbf' counters seem to be used inconsistently. 'rtb' is incremented at the start of each test and 'rtbf' is incremented per-cpu on each failure of call_rcu. So its possible 'rtbf' > 'rtb'. To test the boost with rcutorture, I did following on a 4-CPU x86 machine: modprobe rcutorture test_boost=2 sleep 20 rmmod rcutorture With patch: rtbf: 8 rtb: 12 Without patch: rtbf: 0 rtb: 2 In summary this patch: - Increments failed and total test counters once per boost-test. - Checks for failure cases correctly.

2018-07-12rcutorture: Disable RT throttling for boost testsJoel Fernandes (Google)
Currently rcutorture is not able to torture RCU boosting properly. This is because the rcutorture's boost threads which are doing the torturing may be throttled due to RT throttling. This patch makes rcutorture use the right torture technique (unthrottled rcutorture boost tasks) for torturing RCU so that the test fails correctly when no boost is available. Currently this requires accessing sysctl_sched_rt_runtime directly, but that should be Ok since rcutorture is test code. Such direct access is also only possible if rcutorture is used as a built-in so make it conditional on that. Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes (Google) <joel@joelfernandes.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2018-07-12rcutorture: Emphasize testing of single reader protection typePaul E. McKenney
For RCU implementations supporting multiple types of reader protection, rcutorture currently randomly selects the combinations of types of protection for each phase of each reader. The problem with this, for example, given the four kinds of protection for RCU-sched (local_irq_disable(), local_bh_disable(), preempt_disable(), and rcu_read_lock_sched()), the reader will be protected by a single mechanism only 25% of the time. We really heavier testing of single read-side mechanisms. This commit therefore uses only a single mechanism about 60% of the time, half of the time explicitly and one-eighth of the time by chance.

2018-07-12rcutorture: Handle extended read-side critical sectionsPaul E. McKenney
This commit enables rcutorture to test whether RCU properly aggregates different types of read-side critical sections into a larger section covering the set. It does this by extending an initial read-side critical section randomly for a random number of extensions. There is a new rcu_torture_ops field ->extendable that specifies what extensions are permitted for a given flavor of RCU (for example, SRCU does not permit any extensions, while RCU-sched permits all types). Note that if a given operation (for example, local_bh_disable()) extends an RCU read-side critical section, then rcutorture feels free to also start and end the critical section with that operation's type of disabling. Disabling operations include local_bh_disable(), local_irq_disable(), and preempt_disable(). This commit also adds a new "busted_srcud" torture type, which verifies rcutorture's ability to detect extensions of RCU read-side critical sections that are not handled. Gotta test the test, after all! Note that it is not legal to invoke local_bh_disable() with interrupts disabled, and this transition is avoided by overriding the random-number generator when it wants to call local_bh_disable() while interrupts are disabled. The code instead leaves both interrupts and bh/softirq disabled in this case. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2018-07-12rcutorture: Make rcu_torture_timer() use rcu_torture_one_read()Paul E. McKenney

2018-07-12rcutorture: Use per-CPU random state for rcu_torture_timer()Paul E. McKenney
Currently, the rcu_torture_timer() function uses a single global torture_random_state structure protected by a single global lock. This conflicts to some extent with performance and scalability, but even more with the goal of consolidating read-side testing with rcu_torture_reader(). This commit therefore creates a per-CPU torture_random_state structure for use by rcu_torture_timer() and eliminates the lock. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2018-07-12rcutorture: Use atomic increment for n_rcu_torture_timersPaul E. McKenney
Currently, rcu_torture_timer() relies on a lock to guard updates to n_rcu_torture_timers. Unfortunately, consolidating code with rcu_torture_reader() will dispense with this lock. This commit therefore makes n_rcu_torture_timers be an atomic_long_t and uses atomic_long_inc() to carry out the update. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

2018-07-12rcu: Remove rcutorture test version and sequence numberPaul E. McKenney
Back when RCU had a debugfs interface, there was a test version and sequence number that allowed associating debugfs data with a particular test run, where the test run started with modprobe and ended with rmmod, which was how tests were run back on the old ABAT system within IBM. But rcutorture testing no longer runs on ABAT, and there is no longer an RCU debugfs interface, so there is no longer any need for test versions and sequence numbers. This commit therefore removes the rcutorture_record_test_transition() and rcutorture_record_progress() functions, and along with them the rcutorture_testseq and rcutorture_vernum variables that they update.

2018-07-12rcutorture: Change units of onoff_interval to jiffiesPaul E. McKenney
Some RCU bugs have been sensitive to the frequency of CPU-hotplug operations, which have been gradually increased over time. But this frequency is now at the one-second lower limit that can be specified using the rcutorture.onoff_interval kernel parameter. This commit therefore changes the units of rcutorture.onoff_interval from seconds to jiffies, and also sets the value specified for this kernel parameter in the TREE03 rcutorture scenario to 200, which is 200 milliseconds for HZ=1000.

2018-07-12rcutorture: Correctly handle grace-period sequence wrapPaul E. McKenney
The new ->gq_seq grace-period sequence numbers must be shifted down, which give artifacts when these numbers wrap. This commit therefore enables rcutorture and rcuperf to handle grace-period sequence numbers even if they do wrap. It does this by allowing a special subtraction function to be specified, and this function subtracts before shifting. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

2018-07-12rcu: Make rcutorture's batches-completed API use ->gp_seqPaul E. McKenney
The rcutorture test invokes rcu_batches_started(), rcu_batches_completed(), rcu_batches_started_bh(), rcu_batches_completed_bh(), rcu_batches_started_sched(), and rcu_batches_completed_sched() to do grace-period consistency checks, and rcuperf uses the _completed variants for statistics. These functions use ->gpnum and ->completed. This commit therefore replaces them with rcu_get_gp_seq(), rcu_bh_get_gp_seq(), and rcu_sched_get_gp_seq(), adjusting rcutorture and rcuperf to make use of them. 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.

2018-06-12treewide: Use array_size() in vmalloc()Kees Cook
The vmalloc() function has no 2-factor argument form, so multiplication factors need to be wrapped in array_size(). This patch replaces cases of: vmalloc(a * b) with: vmalloc(array_size(a, b)) as well as handling cases of: vmalloc(a * b * c) with: vmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c)) This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like: vmalloc(4 * 1024) though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion. Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were dropped, since they're redundant. The Coccinelle script used for this was: // Fix redundant parens around sizeof(). @@ type TYPE; expression THING, E; @@ ( vmalloc( - (sizeof(TYPE)) * E + sizeof(TYPE) * E , ...) | vmalloc( - (sizeof(THING)) * E + sizeof(THING) * E , ...) ) // Drop single-byte sizes and redundant parens. @@ expression COUNT; typedef u8; typedef __u8; @@ ( vmalloc( - sizeof(u8) * (COUNT) + COUNT , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(__u8) * (COUNT) + COUNT , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(char) * (COUNT) + COUNT , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(unsigned char) * (COUNT) + COUNT , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(u8) * COUNT + COUNT , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(__u8) * COUNT + COUNT , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(char) * COUNT + COUNT , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(unsigned char) * COUNT + COUNT , ...) ) // 2-factor product with sizeof(type/expression) and identifier or constant. @@ type TYPE; expression THING; identifier COUNT_ID; constant COUNT_CONST; @@ ( vmalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * (COUNT_ID) + array_size(COUNT_ID, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * COUNT_ID + array_size(COUNT_ID, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * (COUNT_CONST) + array_size(COUNT_CONST, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * COUNT_CONST + array_size(COUNT_CONST, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(THING) * (COUNT_ID) + array_size(COUNT_ID, sizeof(THING)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(THING) * COUNT_ID + array_size(COUNT_ID, sizeof(THING)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(THING) * (COUNT_CONST) + array_size(COUNT_CONST, sizeof(THING)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(THING) * COUNT_CONST + array_size(COUNT_CONST, sizeof(THING)) , ...) ) // 2-factor product, only identifiers. @@ identifier SIZE, COUNT; @@ vmalloc( - SIZE * COUNT + array_size(COUNT, SIZE) , ...) // 3-factor product with 1 sizeof(type) or sizeof(expression), with // redundant parens removed. @@ expression THING; identifier STRIDE, COUNT; type TYPE; @@ ( vmalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * (COUNT) * (STRIDE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * (COUNT) * STRIDE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * COUNT * (STRIDE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(TYPE) * COUNT * STRIDE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(TYPE)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(THING) * (COUNT) * (STRIDE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(THING)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(THING) * (COUNT) * STRIDE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(THING)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(THING) * COUNT * (STRIDE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(THING)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(THING) * COUNT * STRIDE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, sizeof(THING)) , ...) ) // 3-factor product with 2 sizeof(variable), with redundant parens removed. @@ expression THING1, THING2; identifier COUNT; type TYPE1, TYPE2; @@ ( vmalloc( - sizeof(TYPE1) * sizeof(TYPE2) * COUNT + array3_size(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE1), sizeof(TYPE2)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(TYPE1) * sizeof(THING2) * (COUNT) + array3_size(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE1), sizeof(TYPE2)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(THING1) * sizeof(THING2) * COUNT + array3_size(COUNT, sizeof(THING1), sizeof(THING2)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(THING1) * sizeof(THING2) * (COUNT) + array3_size(COUNT, sizeof(THING1), sizeof(THING2)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(TYPE1) * sizeof(THING2) * COUNT + array3_size(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE1), sizeof(THING2)) , ...) | vmalloc( - sizeof(TYPE1) * sizeof(THING2) * (COUNT) + array3_size(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE1), sizeof(THING2)) , ...) ) // 3-factor product, only identifiers, with redundant parens removed. @@ identifier STRIDE, SIZE, COUNT; @@ ( vmalloc( - (COUNT) * STRIDE * SIZE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) | vmalloc( - COUNT * (STRIDE) * SIZE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) | vmalloc( - COUNT * STRIDE * (SIZE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) | vmalloc( - (COUNT) * (STRIDE) * SIZE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) | vmalloc( - COUNT * (STRIDE) * (SIZE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) | vmalloc( - (COUNT) * STRIDE * (SIZE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) | vmalloc( - (COUNT) * (STRIDE) * (SIZE) + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) | vmalloc( - COUNT * STRIDE * SIZE + array3_size(COUNT, STRIDE, SIZE) , ...) ) // Any remaining multi-factor products, first at least 3-factor products // when they're not all constants... @@ expression E1, E2, E3; constant C1, C2, C3; @@ ( vmalloc(C1 * C2 * C3, ...) | vmalloc( - E1 * E2 * E3 + array3_size(E1, E2, E3) , ...) ) // And then all remaining 2 factors products when they're not all constants. @@ expression E1, E2; constant C1, C2; @@ ( vmalloc(C1 * C2, ...) | vmalloc( - E1 * E2 + array_size(E1, E2) , ...) ) Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

2018-02-20rcutorture: Record which grace-period primitives are testedPaul E. McKenney
The rcu_torture_writer() function adapts to requested testing from module parameters as well as the function pointers in the structure referenced by cur_ops. However, as long as the module parameters do not conflict with the function pointers, this adaptation is silent. This silence can result in confusion as to exactly what was tested, which could in turn result in untested RCU code making its way into mainline. This commit therefore makes rcu_torture_writer() announce exactly which portions of RCU's API it ends up testing. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2018-02-20rcutorture: Re-enable testing of dynamic expeditingPaul E. McKenney
During boot, normal grace periods are processed as expedited. When rcutorture is built into the kernel, it starts during boot and thus detects that normal grace periods are unconditionally expedited. Therefore, rcutorture concludes that there is no point in trying to dynamically enable expediting, do it disables this aspect of testing, which is a bit of an overreaction to the temporary boot-time expediting. This commit therefore rechecks forced expediting throughout the test, enabling dynamic expediting if normal grace periods are processed normally at any point. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2018-02-20rcutorture: Avoid fake-writer use of undefined primitivesPaul E. McKenney
Currently the rcu_torture_fakewriter() function invokes cur_ops->sync() and cur_ops->exp_sync() without first checking to see if they are in fact non-NULL. This results in kernel NULL pointer dereferences when testing RCU implementations that choose not to provide the full set of primitives. Given that it is perfectly reasonable to have specialized RCU implementations that provide only a subset of the RCU API, this is a bug in rcutorture. This commit therefore makes rcu_torture_fakewriter() check function pointers before invoking them, thus allowing it to test subsetted RCU implementations.

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.

2017-12-11rcutorture: Preempt RCU-preempt readers more vigorouslyPaul E. McKenney

2017-12-11torture: Reduce #ifdefs for preempt_schedule()Paul E. McKenney
This commit adds a torture_preempt_schedule() that is nothingness in !PREEMPT builds and is preempt_schedule() otherwise. Then torture_preempt_schedule() is used to eliminate several ugly #ifdefs, both in rcutorture and in locktorture. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner: "Yet another big pile of changes: - More year 2038 work from Arnd slowly reaching the point where we need to think about the syscalls themself. - A new timer function which allows to conditionally (re)arm a timer only when it's either not running or the new expiry time is sooner than the armed expiry time. This allows to use a single timer for multiple timeout requirements w/o caring about the first expiry time at the call site. - A new NMI safe accessor to clock real time for the printk timestamp work. Can be used by tracing, perf as well if required. - A large number of timer setup conversions from Kees which got collected here because either maintainers requested so or they simply got ignored. As Kees pointed out already there are a few trivial merge conflicts and some redundant commits which was unavoidable due to the size of this conversion effort. - Avoid a redundant iteration in the timer wheel softirq processing. - Provide a mechanism to treat RTC implementations depending on their hardware properties, i.e. don't inflict the write at the 0.5 seconds boundary which originates from the PC CMOS RTC to all RTCs. No functional change as drivers need to be updated separately. - The usual small updates to core code clocksource drivers.

2017-10-09rcutorture: Dump writer stack if stalledPaul E. McKenney
Right now, rcutorture warns if an rcu_torture_writer() kthread stalls, but this warning is not always all that helpful. This commit therefore makes the first such warning include a stack dump. This in turn requires that sched_show_task() be exported to GPL modules, so this commit makes that change as well. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2017-10-09rcutorture: Add interrupt-disable capability to stall-warning testsPaul E. McKenney
When rcutorture sees the rcutorture.stall_cpu kernel boot parameter, it loops with preemption disabled, which does in fact normally generate an RCU CPU stall warning message. However, there are test scenarios that need the stalling CPU to have interrupts disabled. This commit therefore adds an rcutorture.stall_cpu_irqsoff kernel boot parameter that causes the stalling CPU to disable interrupts. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

2017-08-17rcu: Drive TASKS_RCU directly off of PREEMPTPaul E. McKenney
The actual use of TASKS_RCU is only when PREEMPT, otherwise RCU-sched is used instead. This commit therefore makes synchronize_rcu_tasks() and call_rcu_tasks() available always, but mapped to synchronize_sched() and call_rcu_sched(), respectively, when !PREEMPT. This approach also allows some #ifdefs to be removed from rcutorture. Reported-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
