This commit identifies idle tasks for recently offlined CPUs as residing
in a quiescent state. This is safe only because CPU-hotplug operations
are excluded during these checks.

Any idle task corresponding to an offline CPU is in an RCU Tasks Trace
quiescent state. This commit causes rcu_tasks_trace_postscan() to ignore
idle tasks for offline CPUs, which it can do safely due to CPU-hotplug
operations being disabled.

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.

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.

This commit causes synchronous grace periods to be driven from the task
invoking synchronize_rcu_*(), allowing these functions to be invoked from
the mid-boot dead zone extending from when the scheduler was initialized
to to point that the various RCU tasks grace-period kthreads are spawned.
This change will allow the self-tests to run in a consistent manner.

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.

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.

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Offload writing printk() messages on consoles to per-console
kthreads.
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.

exp.2022.05.11a: Expedited-grace-period latency-reduction updates.
|
|
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:

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.

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.
Although there is no functional change, compiler code generation may
be affected.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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().

RCU's synchronous grace periods act quite differently when there is
only one online CPU, especially in the no-op case in kernels built with
CONFIG_PREEMPTION=n. This change in behavior can be important debugging
information, so this commit adds the number of online CPUs to the RCU
CPU stall warning messages.

A report of a 12-jiffy normal RCU CPU stall warning raises interesting

Suppose we have a kernel built with both CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y
and CONFIG_PREEMPT=y. Suppose further that an RCU reader from which RCU
core needs a quiescent state ends in rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore().
This function will then invoke rcu_report_qs_rdp() in order to immediately
report that quiescent state. Unfortunately, it will not have cleared
that reader's CPU's rcu_data structure's ->cpu_no_qs.b.norm field.
As a result, rcu_report_qs_rdp() will take an early exit because it
will believe that this CPU has not yet encountered a quiescent state,
and there will be no reporting of the current quiescent state.
This commit therefore causes rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore() to
clear the ->cpu_no_qs.b.norm field before invoking rcu_report_qs_rdp().
Kudos to Boqun Feng and Neeraj Upadhyay for helping with analysis of
this issue!

The rcutorture module has an rcu_torture_writer task that repeatedly
performs writes, synchronizations, and deletes. There is a corner-case
check in rcu_torture_writer() wherein if nsynctypes is 0, a warning is
issued and the task waits to be stopped via a call to
torture_kthread_stopping() rather than performing any work.
There should be a return statement following this call to
torture_kthread_stopping(), as the intention with issuing the call to
torture_kthread_stopping() in the first place is to avoid the
rcu_torture_writer task from performing any work. Some of the work may even
be dangerous to perform, such as potentially causing a #DE due to
nsynctypes being used in a modulo operator when querying for sync updates
to issue.
This patch adds the missing return call. As a bonus, it also fixes a
checkpatch warning that was emitted due to the WARN_ONCE() call using the
name of the function rather than __func__.

The rcutorture module is used to run torture tests that validate RCU.
rcutorture takes a variety of module parameters that configure the
functionality of the test. Amongst these parameters are the types of
synchronization mechanisms that the rcu_torture_writer and
rcu_torture_fakewriter tasks may use, and the torture_type of the run which
determines what read and sync operations are used by the various writer and
reader tasks that run throughout the test.
When the module is configured to only use sync types for which the
specified torture_type does not implement the necessary operations, we can
end up in a state where nsynctypes is 0. This is not an erroneous state,
but it currently crashes the kernel with a #DE due to nsynctypes being used
with a modulo operator in rcu_torture_fakewriter().
Here is an example of such a #DE:
$ insmod ./rcutorture.ko gp_cond=1 gp_cond_exp=0 gp_exp=0 gp_poll_exp=0
gp_normal=0 gp_poll=0 gp_poll_exp=0 verbose=9999 torture_type=trivial

The solution is to gracefully handle the case of nsynctypes being 0 in
rcu_torture_fakewriter() by not performing any work. This is already being
done in rcu_torture_writer(), though there is a missing return on that path
which will be fixed in a subsequent patch.

Tree RCU supports grace-period delays using the rcutree.gp_cleanup_delay,
rcutree.gp_init_delay, and rcutree.gp_preinit_delay kernel boot
parameters. These delays are strictly for debugging purposes, and have
proven quite effective at exposing bugs involving race with CPU-hotplug
operations. However, these delays can result in false positives when
used in conjunction with callback flooding, for example, those generated
by the rcutorture.fwd_progress kernel boot parameter.
This commit therefore suppresses grace-period delays while callback
flooding is in progress.

If the cpu_possible_mask is sparse (for example, if bits are set only for
CPUs 0, 4, 8, ...), then rcu_tasks_invoke_cbs() will access per-CPU data
for a CPU not in cpu_possible_mask. It makes these accesses while doing
a workqueue-based binary search for non-empty callback lists. Although
this search must pass through CPUs not represented in cpu_possible_mask,
it has no need to check the callback list for such CPUs.
This commit therefore changes the rcu_tasks_invoke_cbs() function's
binary search so as to only check callback lists for CPUs present in
cpu_possible_mask.

If the rcupdate.rcu_task_enqueue_lim kernel boot parameter is set to
something greater than 1 and less than nr_cpu_ids, the code attempts to
use a subset of the CPU's RCU Tasks callback lists. This works, but only
if the cpu_possible_mask is contiguous. If there are "holes" in this
mask, the callback-enqueue code might attempt to access a non-existent
per-CPU ->rtcpu variable for a non-existent CPU. For example, if only
CPUs 0, 4, 8, 12, 16 and so on are in cpu_possible_mask, specifying
rcupdate.rcu_task_enqueue_lim=4 would cause the code to attempt to
use callback queues for non-existent CPUs 1, 2, and 3. Because such
systems have existed in the past and might still exist, the code needs
to gracefully handle this situation.
This commit therefore checks to see whether the desired CPU is present
in cpu_possible_mask, and, if not, searches for the next CPU. This means
that the systems administrator of a system with a sparse cpu_possible_mask
will need to account for this sparsity when specifying the value of
the rcupdate.rcu_task_enqueue_lim kernel boot parameter. For example,
setting this parameter to the value 4 will use only CPUs 0 and 4, which
CPU 4 getting three times the callback load of CPU 0.
This commit assumes that bit (nr_cpu_ids - 1) is always set in
cpu_possible_mask.

The use of hrtimers for RCU-tasks grace-period delays works well in

The synchronous RCU-tasks grace-period-wait primitives invoke
schedule_timeout_idle() to give readers a chance to exit their
read-side critical sections. Unfortunately, this fails during early
boot on PREEMPT_RT because PREEMPT_RT relies solely on ksoftirqd to run
timer handlers. Because ksoftirqd cannot operate until its kthreads
are spawned, there is a brief period of time following scheduler
initialization where PREEMPT_RT cannot run the timer handlers that
schedule_timeout_idle() relies on, resulting in a hang.
To avoid this boot-time hang, this commit replaces schedule_timeout_idle()
with schedule_hrtimeout(), so that the timer expires in hardirq context.
This is ensures that the timer fires even on PREEMPT_RT throughout the
irqs-enabled portions of boot as well as during runtime.
The timer is set to expire between fract and fract + HZ / 2 jiffies in
order to align with any other timers that might expire during that time,
thus reducing the number of wakeups.
Note that RCU-tasks grace periods are infrequent, so the use of hrtimer
should be fine. In contrast, in common-case code, user of hrtimer
could result in performance issues.

The main Tasks RCU quiescent state is voluntary context switch. However,
userspace execution is also a valid quiescent state, and is a valuable one
for userspace applications that spin repeatedly executing light-weight
non-sleeping system calls. Currently, such an application can delay a
Tasks RCU grace period for many tens of seconds.
This commit therefore enlists the aid of the scheduler-clock interrupt to
provide a Tasks RCU quiescent state when it interrupted a task executing
in userspace.
