4babd855fd rcutorture: Add support to detect if boost kthread prio is too low
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.

6bea2cc5a9 rcu: Remove rcutorture test version and sequence number
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.

2ee5aca546 rcu: Make rcu_seq_diff() more exact
The current implementatation of rcu_seq_diff() follows tradition in
providing a rough-and-ready approximation of the number of elapsed grace
periods between the two rcu_seq values.  However, this difference is
used to flag RCU-failure "near misses", which can be a valuable debugging
aid, so more exactitude would be an improvement.  This commit therefore
improves the accuracy of rcu_seq_diff().

d72193123c rcutorture: Correctly handle grace-period sequence wrap
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.

2e3e5e5501 rcu: Make rcu_start_this_gp() check for grace period already started
In the old days of ->gpnum and ->completed, the code requesting a new
grace period checked to see if that grace period had already started,
bailing early if so.  The new-age ->gp_seq approach instead checks
whether the grace period has already finished.  A compensating change
pushed the requested grace period down to the bottom of the tree, thus
reducing lock contention and even eliminating it in some cases.  But why
not further reduce contention, especially on large systems, by doing both,
especially given that the cost of doing both is extremely small?

This commit therefore adds a new rcu_seq_started() function that checks
whether a specified grace period has already started.  It then uses
this new function in place of rcu_seq_done() in the rcu_start_this_gp()
function's funnel locking code.

17ef2fe97c rcu: Make rcutorture's batches-completed API use ->gp_seq
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,

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

5257514d88 rcu: Make expedited grace period use direct call on last leaf
During expedited grace-period initialization, a work item is scheduled
for each leaf rcu_node structure.  However, that initialization code
is itself (normally) executing from a workqueue, so one of the leaf
rcu_node structures could just as well be handled by that pre-existing
workqueue, and with less overhead.  This commit therefore uses a
shiny new rcu_is_leaf_node() macro to execute the last leaf rcu_node
structure's initialization directly from the pre-existing workqueue.

25f3d7effa rcu: Parallelize expedited grace-period initialization
The latency of RCU expedited grace periods grows with increasing numbers
of CPUs, eventually failing to be all that expedited.  Much of the growth
in latency is in the initialization phase, so this commit uses workqueues
to carry out this initialization concurrently on a rcu_node-by-rcu_node
basis.

This change makes use of a new rcu_par_gp_wq because flushing a work
item from another work item running from the same workqueue can result
in deadlock.

ad7c946b35 rcu: Create RCU-specific workqueues with rescuers
RCU's expedited grace periods can participate in out-of-memory deadlocks
due to all available system_wq kthreads being blocked and there not being
memory available to create more.  This commit prevents such deadlocks
by allocating an RCU-specific workqueue_struct at early boot time, and
providing it with a rescuer to ensure forward progress.  This uses the
shiny new init_rescuer() function provided by Tejun (but indirectly).

This commit also causes SRCU to use this new RCU-specific
workqueue_struct.  Note that SRCU's use of workqueues never blocks them
waiting for readers, so this should be safe from a forward-progress
viewpoint.  Note that this moves SRCU from system_power_efficient_wq
to a normal workqueue.  In the unlikely event that this results in
measurable degradation, a separate power-efficient workqueue will be
creates for SRCU.

65963d2461 rcu: Make expedited RCU CPU selection avoid unnecessary stores
This commit reworks the first loop in sync_rcu_exp_select_cpus()
to avoid doing unnecssary stores to other CPUs' rcu_data
structures.  This speeds up that first loop by roughly a factor of
two on an old x86 system.  In the case where the system is mostly
idle, this loop incurs a large fraction of the overhead of the
synchronize_rcu_expedited().  There is less benefit on busy systems
because the overhead of the smp_call_function_single() in the second
loop dominates in that case.

However, it is not unusual to do configuration chances involving
RCU grace periods (both expedited and normal) while the system is
mostly idle, so this optimization is worth doing.

While we are in the area, this commit also adds parentheses to arguments
used by the for_each_leaf_node_possible_cpu() macro.

efbe451d46 srcu: Move rcu_node traversal macros to rcu.h
This commit moves rcu_for_each_node_breadth_first(),
rcu_for_each_nonleaf_node_breadth_first(), and
rcu_for_each_leaf_node() from kernel/rcu/tree.h to
kernel/rcu/rcu.h so that SRCU can access them.
This commit is code-movement only.

2b34c43cc1 srcu: Move rcu_init_levelspread() to rcu_tree_node.h
This commit moves the rcu_init_levelspread() function from
kernel/rcu/tree.c to kernel/rcu/rcu.h so that SRCU can access it.  This is
another step towards enabling SRCU to create its own combining tree.
This commit is code-movement only, give or take knock-on adjustments.

8660b7d8a5 srcu: Use rcu_segcblist to track SRCU callbacks
This commit switches SRCU from custom-built callback queues to the new
rcu_segcblist structure.  This change associates grace-period sequence
numbers with groups of callbacks, which will be needed for efficient
processing of per-CPU callbacks.

f010ed82c7 rcu: Fix warning in rcu_seq_end()
The rcu_seq_end() function increments seq signifying completion
of a grace period, after that checks that the seq is even and wakes
_synchronize_rcu_expedited().  The _synchronize_rcu_expedited() function
uses wait_event() to wait for even seq.  The problem is that wait_event()
can return as soon as seq becomes even without waiting for the wakeup.
In such case the warning in rcu_seq_end() can falsely fire if the next
expedited grace period starts before the check.

Check that seq has good value before incrementing it.

2e8c28c2dd srcu: Move rcu_seq_start() and friends to rcu.h
This commit moves rcu_seq_start(), rcu_seq_end(), rcu_seq_snap(),
and rcu_seq_done() from kernel/rcu/tree.c to kernel/rcu/rcu.h.
This will allow SRCU to use these functions, which in turn will
allow SRCU to move from a single global callback queue to a
per-CPU callback queue.

dffd06a756 rcu: Semicolon inside RCU_TRACE() for rcu.h
The current use of "RCU_TRACE(statement);" can cause odd bugs, especially
where "statement" is a local-variable declaration, as it can leave a
misplaced ";" in the source code.  This commit therefore converts these
to "RCU_TRACE(statement;)", which avoids the misplaced ";".

52d7e48b86 rcu: Narrow early boot window of illegal synchronous grace periods
The current preemptible RCU implementation goes through three phases
during bootup.  In the first phase, there is only one CPU that is running
with preemption disabled, so that a no-op is a synchronous grace period.
In the second mid-boot phase, the scheduler is running, but RCU has
not yet gotten its kthreads spawned (and, for expedited grace periods,
workqueues are not yet running.  During this time, any attempt to do
a synchronous grace period will hang the system (or complain bitterly,
depending).  In the third and final phase, RCU is fully operational and
everything works normally.

This has been OK for some time, but there has recently been some
synchronous grace periods showing up during the second mid-boot phase.
This code worked "by accident" for awhile, but started failing as soon
as expedited RCU grace periods switched over to workqueues in commit
8b355e3bc1 ("rcu: Drive expedited grace periods from workqueue").
Note that the code was buggy even before this commit, as it was subject
to failure on real-time systems that forced all expedited grace periods
to run as normal grace periods (for example, using the rcu_normal ksysfs
parameter).  The callchain from the failure case is as follows:

early_amd_iommu_init()
|-> acpi_put_table(ivrs_base);
|-> acpi_tb_put_table(table_desc);
|-> acpi_tb_invalidate_table(table_desc);
|-> acpi_tb_release_table(...)
|-> acpi_os_unmap_memory
|-> acpi_os_unmap_iomem
|-> acpi_os_map_cleanup
|-> synchronize_rcu_expedited

The kernel showing this callchain was built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y,
which caused the code to try using workqueues before they were
initialized, which did not go well.

This commit therefore reworks RCU to permit synchronous grace periods
to proceed during this mid-boot phase.  This commit is therefore a
fix to a regression introduced in v4.9, and is therefore being put
forward post-merge-window in v4.10.

This commit sets a flag from the existing rcu_scheduler_starting()
function which causes all synchronous grace periods to take the expedited
path.  The expedited path now checks this flag, using the requesting task
to drive the expedited grace period forward during the mid-boot phase.
Finally, this flag is updated by a core_initcall() function named
rcu_exp_runtime_mode(), which causes the runtime codepaths to be used.

Note that this arrangement assumes that tasks are not sent POSIX signals
(or anything similar) from the time that the first task is spawned
through core_initcall() time.
