2020-11-24arm64: smp: Tell RCU about CPUs that fail to come onlineWill Deacon
[ Upstream commit 04e613ded8c26489b3e0f9101b44462f780d1a35 ] Commit ce3d31ad3cac ("arm64/smp: Move rcu_cpu_starting() earlier") ensured that RCU is informed early about incoming CPUs that might end up calling into printk() before they are online. However, if such a CPU fails the early CPU feature compatibility checks in check_local_cpu_capabilities(), then it will be powered off or parked without informing RCU, leading to an endless stream of stalls: | rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt detected stalls on CPUs/tasks: | rcu: 2-O...: (0 ticks this GP) idle=002/1/0x4000000000000000 softirq=0/0 fqs=2593 | (detected by 0, t=5252 jiffies, g=9317, q=136) | Task dump for CPU 2: | task:swapper/2 state:R running task stack: 0 pid: 0 ppid: 1 flags:0x00000028 | Call trace: | ret_from_fork+0x0/0x30 Ensure that the dying CPU invokes rcu_report_dead() prior to being powered off or parked.

2020-11-05stop_machine, rcu: Mark functions as notraceZong Li
commit 4230e2deaa484b385aa01d598b2aea8e7f2660a6 upstream. Some architectures assume that the stopped CPUs don't make function calls to traceable functions when they are in the stopped state. See also commit cb9d7fd51d9f ("watchdog: Mark watchdog touch functions as notrace"). Violating this assumption causes kernel crashes when switching tracer on RISC-V. Mark rcu_momentary_dyntick_idle() and stop_machine_yield() notrace to prevent this.

2020-10-29rcu/tree: Force quiescent state on callback overloadNeeraj Upadhyay
[ Upstream commit 9c39245382de4d52a122641952900709d4a9950b ] On callback overload, it is necessary to quickly detect idle CPUs, and rcu_gp_fqs_check_wake() checks for this condition. Unfortunately, the code following the call to this function does not repeat this check, which means that in reality no actual quiescent-state forcing, instead only a couple of quick and pointless wakeups at the beginning of the grace period. This commit therefore adds a check for the RCU_GP_FLAG_OVLD flag in the post-wakeup "if" statement in rcu_gp_fqs_loop().

2020-06-29rcu: Support reclaim for head-less objectUladzislau Rezki (Sony)
Update the kvfree_call_rcu() function with head-less support. This allows RCU to reclaim objects without an embedded rcu_head. tree-RCU: We introduce two chains of arrays to store SLAB-backed and vmalloc pointers, each. Storage in either of these arrays does not require embedding an rcu_head within the object. Maintaining the arrays may become impossible due to high memory pressure. For such cases there is an emergency path. Objects with rcu_head inside are just queued on a backup rcu_head list. Later on that list is drained. As for the head-less variant, as the current context can sleep, the following emergency measures are applied: a) Synchronously wait until a grace period has elapsed. b) Call kvfree(). tiny-RCU: For double argument calls, there are no new changes in behavior. For single argument call, kvfree() is directly inlined on the current stack after a synchronize_rcu() call. Note that for tiny-RCU, any call to synchronize_rcu() is actually a quiescent state, therefore it does nothing.

2020-06-29rcu: Rename *_kfree_callback/*_kfree_rcu_offset/kfree_call_*Uladzislau Rezki (Sony)
The following changes are introduced: 1. Rename rcu_invoke_kfree_callback() to rcu_invoke_kvfree_callback(), as well as the associated trace events, so the rcu_kfree_callback(), becomes rcu_kvfree_callback(). The reason is to be aligned with kvfree() notation. 2. Rename __is_kfree_rcu_offset to __is_kvfree_rcu_offset. All RCU paths use kvfree() now instead of kfree(), thus rename it. 3. Rename kfree_call_rcu() to the kvfree_call_rcu(). The reason is, it is capable of freeing vmalloc() memory now. Do the same with __kfree_rcu() macro, it becomes __kvfree_rcu(), the goal is the same.

2020-06-29rcu/tree: Maintain separate array for vmalloc ptrsUladzislau Rezki (Sony)
To do so, we use an array of kvfree_rcu_bulk_data structures. It consists of two elements: - index number 0 corresponds to slab pointers. - index number 1 corresponds to vmalloc pointers. Keeping vmalloc pointers separated from slab pointers makes it possible to invoke the right freeing API for the right kind of pointer. It also prepares us for future headless support for vmalloc and SLAB objects. Such objects cannot be queued on a linked list and are instead directly into an array.

2020-06-29rcu/tree: cache specified number of objectsUladzislau Rezki (Sony)
In order to reduce the dynamic need for pages in kfree_rcu(), pre-allocate a configurable number of pages per CPU and link them in a list. When kfree_rcu() reclaims objects, the object's container page is cached into a list instead of being released to the low-level page allocator. Such an approach provides O(1) access to free pages while also reducing the number of requests to the page allocator. It also makes the kfree_rcu() code to have free pages available during a low memory condition. A read-only sysfs parameter (rcu_min_cached_objs) reflects the minimum number of allowed cached pages per CPU. Signed-off-by: Uladzislau Rezki (Sony) <urezki@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2020-06-29rcu/tree: Use static initializer for krc.lockSebastian Andrzej Siewior
The per-CPU variable is initialized at runtime in kfree_rcu_batch_init(). This function is invoked before 'rcu_scheduler_active' is set to 'RCU_SCHEDULER_RUNNING'. After the initialisation, '->initialized' is to true. The raw_spin_lock is only acquired if '->initialized' is set to true. The worqueue item is only used if 'rcu_scheduler_active' set to RCU_SCHEDULER_RUNNING which happens after initialisation. Use a static initializer for krc.lock and remove the runtime initialisation of the lock. Since the lock can now be always acquired, remove the '->initialized' check.

2020-06-29rcu/tree: Skip entry into the page allocator for PREEMPT_RTJoel Fernandes (Google)
To keep the kfree_rcu() code working in purely atomic sections on RT, such as non-threaded IRQ handlers and raw spinlock sections, avoid calling into the page allocator which uses sleeping locks on RT. In fact, even if the caller is preemptible, the kfree_rcu() code is not, as the krcp->lock is a raw spinlock. Calling into the page allocator is optional and avoiding it should be Ok, especially with the page pre-allocation support in future patches. Such pre-allocation would further avoid the a need for a dynamically allocated page in the first place.

This makes it unusable for callers in purely atomic sections such as non-threaded IRQ handlers and raw spinlock sections. Fix it by converting the spinlock to a raw spinlock. Vetting all code paths, there is no reason to believe that the raw spinlock will hurt RT latencies as it is not held for a long time.

2020-05-26rcu: Abstract out rcu_irq_enter_check_tick() from rcu_nmi_enter()Paul E. McKenney
There will likely be exception handlers that can sleep, which rules out the usual approach of invoking rcu_nmi_enter() on entry and also rcu_nmi_exit() on all exit paths. However, the alternative approach of just not calling anything can prevent RCU from coaxing quiescent states from nohz_full CPUs that are looping in the kernel: RCU must instead IPI them explicitly. It would be better to enable the scheduler tick on such CPUs to interact with RCU in a lighter-weight manner, and this enabling is one of the things that rcu_nmi_enter() currently does. What is needed is something that helps RCU coax quiescent states while not preventing subsequent sleeps. This commit therefore splits out the nohz_full scheduler-tick enabling from the rest of the rcu_nmi_enter() logic into a new function named rcu_irq_enter_check_tick().

Interrupts and exceptions invoke rcu_irq_enter() on entry and need to invoke rcu_irq_exit() before they either return to the interrupted code or invoke the scheduler due to preemption. The general assumption is that RCU idle code has to have preemption disabled so that a return from interrupt cannot schedule. So the return from interrupt code invokes rcu_irq_exit() and preempt_schedule_irq(). If there is any imbalance in the rcu_irq/nmi* invocations or RCU idle code had preemption enabled then this goes unnoticed until the CPU goes idle or some other RCU check is executed. Provide rcu_irq_exit_preempt() which can be invoked from the interrupt/exception return code in case that preemption is enabled. It invokes rcu_irq_exit() and contains a few sanity checks in case that CONFIG_PROVE_RCU is enabled to catch such issues directly.

2020-05-19rcu: Make RCU IRQ enter/exit functions rely on in_nmi()Paul E. McKenney
The rcu_nmi_enter_common() and rcu_nmi_exit_common() functions take an "irq" parameter that indicates whether these functions have been invoked from an irq handler (irq==true) or an NMI handler (irq==false). However, recent changes have applied notrace to a few critical functions such that rcu_nmi_enter_common() and rcu_nmi_exit_common() many now rely on in_nmi(). Note that in_nmi() works no differently than before, but rather that tracing is now prohibited in code regions where in_nmi() would incorrectly report NMI state. Therefore remove the "irq" parameter and inline rcu_nmi_enter_common() and rcu_nmi_exit_common() into rcu_nmi_enter() and rcu_nmi_exit(), respectively. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2020-04-27rcu-tasks: Avoid IPIing userspace/idle tasks if kernel is so builtPaul E. McKenney
Systems running CPU-bound real-time task do not want IPIs sent to CPUs executing nohz_full userspace tasks. Battery-powered systems don't want IPIs sent to idle CPUs in low-power mode. Unfortunately, RCU tasks trace can and will send such IPIs in some cases. Both of these situations occur only when the target CPU is in RCU dyntick-idle mode, in other words, when RCU is not watching the target CPU. This suggests that CPUs in dyntick-idle mode should use memory barriers in outermost invocations of rcu_read_lock_trace() and rcu_read_unlock_trace(), which would allow the RCU tasks trace grace period to directly read out the target CPU's read-side state. One challenge is that RCU tasks trace is not targeting a specific CPU, but rather a task. And that task could switch from one CPU to another at any time. This commit therefore uses try_invoke_on_locked_down_task() and checks for task_curr() in trc_inspect_reader_notrunning(). When this condition holds, the target task is running and cannot move. If CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB=y, the new rcu_dynticks_zero_in_eqs() function can be used to check if the specified integer (in this case, t->trc_reader_nesting) is zero while the target CPU remains in that same dyntick-idle sojourn. If so, the target task is in a quiescent state. If not, trc_read_check_handler() must indicate failure so that the grace-period kthread can take appropriate action or retry after an appropriate delay, as the case may be. With this change, given CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB=y, if a given CPU remains idle or a given task continues executing in nohz_full mode, the RCU tasks trace grace-period kthread will detect this without the need to send an IPI.

2020-04-27rcu/tree: Add a shrinker to prevent OOM due to kfree_rcu() batchingJoel Fernandes (Google)
To reduce grace periods and improve kfree() performance, we have done batching recently dramatically bringing down the number of grace periods while giving us the ability to use kfree_bulk() for efficient kfree'ing. However, this has increased the likelihood of OOM condition under heavy kfree_rcu() flood on small memory systems. This patch introduces a shrinker which starts grace periods right away if the system is under memory pressure due to existence of objects that have still not started a grace period. With this patch, I do not observe an OOM anymore on a system with 512MB RAM and 8 CPUs, with the following rcuperf options: rcuperf.kfree_loops=20000 rcuperf.kfree_alloc_num=8000 rcuperf.kfree_rcu_test=1 rcuperf.kfree_mult=2 Otherwise it easily OOMs with the above parameters. NOTE: 1. On systems with no memory pressure, the patch has no effect as intended. 2. In the future, we can use this same mechanism to prevent grace periods from happening even more, by relying on shrinkers carefully.

2020-04-05rcu: Don't acquire lock in NMI handler in rcu_nmi_enter_common()Paul E. McKenney
The rcu_nmi_enter_common() function can be invoked both in interrupt and NMI handlers. If it is invoked from process context (as opposed to userspace or idle context) on a nohz_full CPU, it might acquire the CPU's leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock. Because this lock is held only with interrupts disabled, this is safe from an interrupt handler, but doing so from an NMI handler can result in self-deadlock. This commit therefore adds "irq" to the "if" condition so as to only acquire the ->lock from irq handlers or process context, never from an NMI handler.

2020-03-21rcu: Make rcu_barrier() account for offline no-CBs CPUsPaul E. McKenney
Currently, rcu_barrier() ignores offline CPUs, However, it is possible for an offline no-CBs CPU to have callbacks queued, and rcu_barrier() must wait for those callbacks. This commit therefore makes rcu_barrier() directly invoke the rcu_barrier_func() with interrupts disabled for such CPUs. This requires passing the CPU number into this function so that it can entrain the rcu_barrier() callback onto the correct CPU's callback list, given that the code must instead execute on the current CPU. While in the area, this commit fixes a bug where the first CPU's callback might have been invoked before rcu_segcblist_entrain() returned, which would also result in an early wakeup.
