2022-06-20rcu-tasks: Scan running tasks for RCU Tasks Trace readersPaul E. McKenney
A running task might be within an RCU Tasks Trace read-side critical section for any length of time, but will not be placed on any of the per-CPU rcu_tasks_percpu structure's ->rtp_blkd_tasks lists. Therefore any RCU Tasks Trace grace-period processing that does not scan the full task list must interact with the running tasks. This commit therefore causes the rcu_tasks_trace_pregp_step() function to IPI each CPU in order to place the corresponding task on the holdouts list and to record whether or not it was in an RCU Tasks Trace read-side critical section. Yes, it is possible to avoid adding it to that list if it is not a reader, but that would prevent the system from remembering that this task was in a quiescent state. Which is why the running tasks are unconditionally added to the holdout list. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2022-06-20rcu-tasks: Avoid rcu_tasks_trace_pertask() duplicate list additionsPaul E. McKenney
This commit adds checks within rcu_tasks_trace_pertask() to avoid duplicate (and destructive) additions to the holdouts list. These checks will be required later due to the possibility of a given task having blocked while in an RCU Tasks Trace read-side critical section, but now running on a CPU. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2022-06-20rcu-tasks: Untrack blocked RCU Tasks Trace at reader endPaul E. McKenney
This commit causes rcu_read_unlock_trace() to check for the current task being on a per-CPU list within the rcu_tasks_percpu structure, and removes it from that list if so. This has the effect of curtailing tracking of a task that blocked within an RCU Tasks Trace read-side critical section once it exits that critical section. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2022-06-20rcu-tasks: Track blocked RCU Tasks Trace readersPaul E. McKenney
This commit places any task that has ever blocked within its current RCU Tasks Trace read-side critical section on a per-CPU list within the rcu_tasks_percpu structure. Tasks are removed from this list when they exit by the exit_tasks_rcu_finish_trace() function. The purpose of this commit is to provide the information needed to eliminate the current scan of the full task list. This commit offsets the INT_MIN value for ->trc_reader_nesting with the new nesting level in order to avoid queueing tasks that are exiting their read-side critical sections.

2022-06-20rcu-tasks: Make RCU Tasks Trace stall warning handle idle offline tasksPaul E. McKenney
When a CPU is offline, its idle task can appear to be running, but it cannot be doing anything while CPU-hotplug operations are excluded.

2022-06-20rcu-tasks: Simplify trc_inspect_reader() QS logicPaul E. McKenney
Currently, trc_inspect_reader() does one check for nesting less than or equal to zero, then sorts out the distinctions within this single "if" statement. This commit simplifies the logic by providing one "if" statement for quiescent states (nesting of zero) and another "if" statement for transitioning from one nesting level to another or the outermost rcu_read_unlock_trace() (negative nesting).

Because the task driving the grace-period kthread is in quiescent state throughout, this commit excludes it from the list of tasks from which a quiescent state is needed.

2022-06-20rcu-tasks: Remove rcu_tasks_trace_postgp() wait for counterPaul E. McKenney
Now that tasks are not removed from the list until they have responded to any needed request for a quiescent state, it is no longer necessary to wait for the trc_n_readers_need_end counter to go to zero. This commit therefore removes that waiting code. It is therefore also no longer necessary for rcu_tasks_trace_postgp() to do the final decrement of this counter, so that code is also removed. This in turn means that trc_n_readers_need_end counter itself can be removed, as can the rcu_tasks_trace_iw irq_work structure and the rcu_read_unlock_iw() function.

2022-06-20rcu-tasks: Merge state into .b.need_qs and atomically updatePaul E. McKenney
This commit gets rid of the task_struct structure's ->trc_reader_checked field, making it instead be a bit within the task_struct structure's existing ->trc_reader_special.b.need_qs field. This commit also atomically loads, stores, and checks the resulting combination of the reader-checked and need-quiescent state flags. This will in turn allow significant simplification of the rcu_tasks_trace_postgp() function as well as elimination of the trc_n_readers_need_end counter in later commits. These changes will in turn simplify later elimination of the RCU Tasks Trace scan of the task list, which will make RCU Tasks Trace grace periods less CPU-intensive.

2022-06-20rcu: Provide a get_completed_synchronize_rcu() functionPaul E. McKenney
It is currently up to the caller to handle stale return values from get_state_synchronize_rcu(). If poll_state_synchronize_rcu() returned true once, a grace period has elapsed, regardless of the fact that counter wrap might cause some future poll_state_synchronize_rcu() invocation to return false. For example, the caller might store a separate flag that indicates whether some previous call to poll_state_synchronize_rcu() determined that the relevant grace period had already ended. This approach works, but it requires extra storage and is easy to get wrong. This commit therefore introduces a get_completed_synchronize_rcu() that returns a cookie that causes poll_state_synchronize_rcu() to always return true. This already-completed cookie can be stored in place of the cookie that previously caused poll_state_synchronize_rcu() to return true. It can also be used to flag a given structure as not having been exposed to readers, and thus not requiring a grace period to elapse. This commit is in preparation for polled expedited grace periods.

2022-06-20rcu: Make normal polling GP be more precise about sequence numbersPaul E. McKenney
Currently, poll_state_synchronize_rcu() uses rcu_seq_done() to check whether the specified grace period has completed. However, rcu_seq_done() does a simple comparison that reserves have of the sequence-number space for uncompleted grace periods. This has the unfortunate side-effect of not handling sequence-number wrap gracefully. Of course, one can argue that if someone has already waited for half of the full range of grace periods, they can wait for the other half, but why wait at all in this case? This commit therefore creates a rcu_seq_done_exact() that counts as uncompleted only the two grace periods during which the sequence number might have been handed out, while still being uncompleted. This way, if sequence-number wrap happens to hit that range, at most two additional grace periods need be waited for. This commit is in preparation for polled expedited grace periods.

It prevents soft-lockups when an extensive amount of messages is printed. It was observed, for example, during boot of large systems with a lot of peripherals like disks or network interfaces. It prevents live-lockups that were observed, for example, when messages about allocation failures were reported and a CPU handled consoles instead of reclaiming the memory. It was hard to solve even with rate limiting because it would need to take into account the amount of messages and the speed of all consoles. It is a must to have for real time. Otherwise, any printk() might break latency guarantees. The per-console kthreads allow to handle each console on its own speed. Slow consoles do not longer slow down faster ones. And printk() does not longer unpredictably slows down various code paths. There are situations when the kthreads are either not available or not reliable, for example, early boot, suspend, or panic. In these situations, printk() uses the legacy mode and tries to handle consoles immediately. - Add documentation for the printk index. * tag 'printk-for-5.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux: printk, tracing: fix console tracepoint printk: remove @console_locked printk: extend console_lock for per-console locking printk: add kthread console printers printk: add functions to prefer direct printing printk: add pr_flush() printk: move buffer definitions into console_emit_next_record() caller printk: refactor and rework printing logic printk: add con_printk() macro for console details printk: call boot_delay_msec() in printk_delay() printk: get caller_id/timestamp after migration disable printk: wake waiters for safe and NMI contexts printk: wake up all waiters printk: add missing memory barrier to wake_up_klogd() printk: cpu sync always disable interrupts printk: rename cpulock functions printk/index: Printk index feature documentation MAINTAINERS: Add printk indexing maintainers on mention of printk_index

2022-05-11rcu: Move expedited grace period (GP) work to RT kthread_workerKalesh Singh
Enabling CONFIG_RCU_BOOST did not reduce RCU expedited grace-period latency because its workqueues run at SCHED_OTHER, and thus can be delayed by normal processes. This commit avoids these delays by moving the expedited GP work items to a real-time-priority kthread_worker. This option is controlled by CONFIG_RCU_EXP_KTHREAD and disabled by default on PREEMPT_RT=y kernels which disable expedited grace periods after boot by unconditionally setting rcupdate.rcu_normal_after_boot=1. The results were evaluated on arm64 Android devices (6GB ram) running 5.10 kernel, and capturing trace data in critical user-level code. The table below shows the resulting order-of-magnitude improvements in synchronize_rcu_expedited() latency: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | workqueues | kthread_worker | Diff | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Count | 725 | 688 | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Min Duration (ns) | 326 | 447 | 37.12% | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Q1 (ns) | 39,428 | 38,971 | -1.16% | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Q2 - Median (ns) | 98,225 | 69,743 | -29.00% | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Q3 (ns) | 342,122 | 126,638 | -62.98% | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Max Duration (ns) | 372,766,967 | 2,329,671 | -99.38% | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Avg Duration (ns) | 2,746,353 | 151,242 | -94.49% | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Standard Deviation (ns) | 19,327,765 | 294,408 | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The below table show the range of maximums/minimums for synchronize_rcu_expedited() latency from all experiments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | workqueues | kthread_worker | Diff | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Total No. of Experiments | 25 | 23 | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Largest Maximum (ns) | 372,766,967 | 2,329,671 | -99.38% | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Smallest Maximum (ns) | 38,819 | 86,954 | 124.00% | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Range of Maximums (ns) | 372,728,148 | 2,242,717 | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Largest Minimum (ns) | 88,623 | 27,588 | -68.87% | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Smallest Minimum (ns) | 326 | 447 | 37.12% | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Range of Minimums (ns) | 88,297 | 27,141 | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cc: "Paul E.

Currently both expedited and regular grace period stall warnings use a single timeout value that with units of seconds. However, recent Android use cases problem require a sub-100-millisecond expedited RCU CPU stall warning. Given that expedited RCU grace periods normally complete in far less than a single millisecond, especially for small systems, this is not unreasonable. Therefore introduce the CONFIG_RCU_EXP_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT kernel configuration that defaults to 20 msec on Android and remains the same as that of the non-expedited stall warnings otherwise. It also can be changed in run-time via: /sys/.../parameters/rcu_exp_cpu_stall_timeout.

2022-05-03srcu: Drop needless initialization of sdp in srcu_gp_start()Lukas Bulwahn
Commit 9c7ef4c30f12 ("srcu: Make Tree SRCU able to operate without snp_node array") initializes the local variable sdp differently depending on the srcu's state in srcu_gp_start(). Either way, this initialization overwrites the value used when sdp is defined. This commit therefore drops this pointless definition-time initialization.

2022-05-03srcu: Prevent expedited GPs and blocking readers from consuming CPUPaul E. McKenney
If an SRCU reader blocks while a synchronize_srcu_expedited() waits for that same reader, then that grace period will spawn an endless series of workqueue handlers, consuming a full CPU. This quickly gets pointless because consuming more CPU isn't going to make that reader get done faster, especially if it is blocked waiting for an external event. This commit therefore spawns at most one pair of back-to-back workqueue handlers per expedited grace period phase, instead inserting increasing delays as that grace period phase grows older, but capped at 10 jiffies. In any case, if there have been at least 100 back-to-back workqueue handlers within a single jiffy, regardless of grace period or grace-period phase, then a one-jiffy delay is inserted.

2022-04-22printk: add functions to prefer direct printingJohn Ogness
Once kthread printing is available, console printing will no longer occur in the context of the printk caller. However, there are some special contexts where it is desirable for the printk caller to directly print out kernel messages. Using pr_flush() to wait for threaded printers is only possible if the caller is in a sleepable context and the kthreads are active. That is not always the case. Introduce printk_prefer_direct_enter() and printk_prefer_direct_exit() functions to explicitly (and globally) activate/deactivate preferred direct console printing. The term "direct console printing" refers to printing to all enabled consoles from the context of the printk caller. The term "prefer" is used because this type of printing is only best effort. If the console is currently locked or other printers are already actively printing, the printk caller will need to rely on the other contexts to handle the printing. This preferred direct printing is how all printing has been handled until now (unless it was explicitly deferred). When kthread printing is introduced, there may be some unanticipated problems due to kthreads being unable to flush important messages. In order to minimize such risks, preferred direct printing is activated for the primary important messages when the system experiences general types of major errors. These are: - emergency reboot/shutdown - cpu and rcu stalls - hard and soft lockups - hung tasks - warn - sysrq Note that since kthread printing does not yet exist, no behavior changes result from this commit. This is only implementing the counter and marking the various places where preferred direct printing is active.

2022-04-20rcu: Make the TASKS_RCU Kconfig option be selectedPaul E. McKenney
Currently, any kernel built with CONFIG_PREEMPTION=y also gets CONFIG_TASKS_RCU=y, which is not helpful to people trying to build preemptible kernels of minimal size. Because CONFIG_TASKS_RCU=y is needed only in kernels doing tracing of one form or another, this commit moves from TASKS_RCU deciding when it should be enabled to the tracing Kconfig options explicitly selecting it. This allows building preemptible kernels without TASKS_RCU, if desired. This commit also updates the SRCU-N and TREE09 rcutorture scenarios in order to avoid Kconfig errors that would otherwise result from CONFIG_TASKS_RCU being selected without its CONFIG_RCU_EXPERT dependency being met.

2022-04-20rcu: Use IRQ_WORK_INIT_HARD() to avoid rcu_read_unlock() hangsZqiang
When booting kernels built with both CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y and CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y, the rcu_read_unlock_special() function's invocation of irq_work_queue_on() the init_irq_work() causes the rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handler() function to work execute in SCHED_FIFO irq_work kthreads. Because rcu_read_unlock_special() is invoked on each rcu_read_unlock() in such kernels, the amount of work just keeps piling up, resulting in a boot-time hang. This commit therefore avoids this hang by using IRQ_WORK_INIT_HARD() instead of init_irq_work(), but only in kernels built with both CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y and CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y.

2022-04-20rcu_sync: Fix comment to properly reflect rcu_sync_exit() behaviorDavid Vernet
The rcu_sync_enter() function is used by updaters to force RCU readers (e.g. percpu-rwsem) to use their slow paths during an update. This is accomplished by setting the ->gp_state of the rcu_sync structure to GP_ENTER. In the case of percpu-rwsem, the readers' slow path waits on a semaphore instead of just incrementing a reader count. Each updater invokes the rcu_sync_exit() function to signal to readers that they may again take their fastpaths. The rcu_sync_exit() function sets the ->gp_state of the rcu_sync structure to GP_EXIT, and if all goes well, after a grace period the ->gp_state reverts back to GP_IDLE. Unfortunately, the rcu_sync_enter() function currently has a comment incorrectly stating that rcu_sync_exit() (by an updater) will re-enable reader "slowpaths". This patch changes the comment to state that this function re-enables reader fastpaths. Signed-off-by: David Vernet <void@manifault.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>

2022-04-20rcu: Fix preemption mode check on synchronize_rcu[_expedited]()Frederic Weisbecker
An early check on synchronize_rcu[_expedited]() tries to determine if the current CPU is in UP mode on an SMP no-preempt kernel, in which case there is no need to start a grace period since the current assumed quiescent state is all we need. However the preemption mode doesn't take into account the boot selected preemption mode under CONFIG_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC=y, missing a possible early return if the running flavour is "none" or "voluntary". Use the shiny new preempt mode accessors to fix this. However, avoid invoking them during early boot because doing so triggers a WARN_ON_ONCE().
