Pull core locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this cycle are:
- Another attempt at enabling cross-release lockdep dependency
tracking (automatically part of CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y), this time
with better performance and fewer false positives. (Byungchul Park)
- Introduce lockdep_assert_irqs_enabled()/disabled() and convert
open-coded equivalents to lockdep variants. (Frederic Weisbecker)
- Add down_read_killable() and use it in the VFS's iterate_dir()
method. (Kirill Tkhai)
- Convert remaining uses of ACCESS_ONCE() to
READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE(). Most of the conversion was Coccinelle
driven. (Mark Rutland, Paul E. McKenney)
- Get rid of lockless_dereference(), by strengthening Alpha atomics,
strengthening READ_ONCE() with smp_read_barrier_depends() and thus
being able to convert users of lockless_dereference() to
READ_ONCE(). (Will Deacon)
- Various micro-optimizations:
- better PV qspinlocks (Waiman Long),
- better x86 barriers (Michael S. Tsirkin)
- better x86 refcounts (Kees Cook)
- ... plus other fixes and enhancements. (Borislav Petkov, Juergen
Gross, Miguel Bernal Marin)"

One common question upon seeing an RCU CPU stall warning is "did
the stalled CPUs have interrupts disabled?" However, the current
stall warnings are silent on this point. This commit therefore
uses irq_work to check whether stalled CPUs still respond to IPIs,
and flags this state in the RCU CPU stall warning console messages.

There is some confusion as to which of cond_resched() or
cond_resched_rcu_qs() should be added to long in-kernel loops.
This commit therefore eliminates the decision by adding RCU quiescent
states to cond_resched(). This commit also simplifies the code that
used to interact with cond_resched_rcu_qs(), and that now interacts with
cond_resched(), to reduce its overhead. This reduction is necessary to
allow the heavier-weight cond_resched_rcu_qs() mechanism to be invoked
everywhere that cond_resched() is invoked.
Part of that reduction in overhead converts the jiffies_till_sched_qs
kernel parameter to read-only at runtime, thus eliminating the need for
bounds checking.

rcu: Remove extraneous READ_ONCE()s from rcu_irq_{enter,exit}()
ftrace: Fix kmemleak in unregister_ftrace_graph
The read of ->dynticks_nmi_nesting in rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit()
is currently protected with READ_ONCE(). However, this protection is
unnecessary because (1) ->dynticks_nmi_nesting is updated only by the
current CPU, (2) Although NMI handlers can update this field, they reset
it back to its old value before return, and (3) Interrupts are disabled,
so nothing else can modify it. The value of ->dynticks_nmi_nesting is
thus effectively constant, and so no protection is required.
This commit therefore removes the READ_ONCE() protection from these
two accesses.

it could also happen from a WARN() in the wrong place, or even if

The critical area is where RCU is not watching. Which can happen while

The final fix was to put the protection in kernel_text_address() as it
is the one that requires RCU to be watching while doing the stack trace.
To make this work properly, Paul had to allow rcu_irq_enter() happen after
rcu_nmi_enter(). This should have been done anyway, since an NMI can
page fault (reading vmalloc area), and a page fault triggers rcu_irq_enter().
One patch is just a consolidation of code so that the fix only needed
to be done in one location.

rcu: Allow for page faults in NMI handlers
A number of architecture invoke rcu_irq_enter() on exception entry in
order to allow RCU read-side critical sections in the exception handler
when the exception is from an idle or nohz_full CPU. This works, at
least unless the exception happens in an NMI handler. In that case,
rcu_nmi_enter() would already have exited the extended quiescent state,
which would mean that rcu_irq_enter() would (incorrectly) cause RCU
to think that it is again in an extended quiescent state. This will
in turn result in lockdep splats in response to later RCU read-side
critical sections.
This commit therefore causes rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit() to
take no action if there is an rcu_nmi_enter() in effect, thus avoiding
the unscheduled return to RCU quiescent state. This in turn should
make the kernel safe for on-demand RCU voyeurism.

Second, different signnnedness leads to suboptimal code in the following
cases:
1)
kmalloc(nr_cpu_ids * sizeof(X));
"int" has to be sign extended to size_t.
2)
while (loff_t *pos < nr_cpu_ids)
MOVSXD is 1 byte longed than the same MOV.
Other cases exist as well. Basically compiler is told that nr_cpu_ids
can't be negative which can't be deduced if it is "int".

These RCU waits were set to use interruptible waits to avoid the kthreads
contributing to system load average, even though they are not interruptible
as they are spawned from a kthread. Use the new TASK_IDLE swaits which makes
our goal clear, and removes confusion about these paths possibly being
interruptible -- they are not.
When the system is idle the RCU grace-period kthread will spend all its time
blocked inside the swait_event_interruptible(). If the interruptible() was
not used, then this kthread would contribute to the load average. This means
that an idle system would have a load average of 2 (or 3 if PREEMPT=y),
rather than the load average of 0 that almost fifty years of UNIX has
conditioned sysadmins to expect.
The same argument applies to swait_event_interruptible_timeout() use. The
RCU grace-period kthread spends its time blocked inside this call while
waiting for grace periods to complete. In particular, if there was only one
busy CPU, but that CPU was frequently invoking call_rcu(), then the RCU
grace-period kthread would spend almost all its time blocked inside the
swait_event_interruptible_timeout(). This would mean that the load average
would be 2 rather than the expected 1 for the single busy CPU.

After adopting callbacks from a newly offlined CPU, the adopting CPU
checks to make sure that its callback list's count is zero only if the
list has no callbacks and vice versa. Unfortunately, it does so after
enabling interrupts, which means that false positives are possible due to
interrupt handlers invoking call_rcu(). Although these false positives
are improbable, rcutorture did make it happen once.
This commit therefore moves this check to an irq-disabled region of code,

It is possible that the outgoing CPU is unaware of recent grace periods,
and so it is also possible that some of its pending callbacks are actually
ready to be invoked. The current callback-migration code would needlessly
force these callbacks to pass through another grace period. This commit
therefore invokes rcu_advance_cbs() on the outgoing CPU's callbacks in
order to give them full credit for having passed through any recent
grace periods.
This also fixes an odd theoretical bug where there are no callbacks in
the system except for those on the outgoing CPU, none of those callbacks
have yet been associated with a grace-period number, there is never again
another callback registered, and the surviving CPU never again takes a
scheduling-clock interrupt, never goes idle, and never enters nohz_full
userspace execution. Yes, this is (just barely) possible. It requires
that the surviving CPU be a nohz_full CPU, that its scheduler-clock
interrupt be shut off, and that it loop forever in the kernel. You get
bonus points if you can make this one happen! ;-)

The update of the ->expmaskinitnext and of ->ncpus are unsynchronized,
with the value of ->ncpus being incremented long before the corresponding
->expmaskinitnext mask is updated. If an RCU expedited grace period
sees ->ncpus change, it will update the ->expmaskinit masks from the new
->expmaskinitnext masks. But it is possible that ->ncpus has already
been updated, but the ->expmaskinitnext masks still have their old values.
For the current expedited grace period, no harm done. The CPU could not
have been online before the grace period started, so there is no need to
wait for its non-existent pre-existing readers.
But the next RCU expedited grace period is in a world of hurt. The value
of ->ncpus has already been updated, so this grace period will assume
that the ->expmaskinitnext masks have not changed. But they have, and
they won't be taken into account until the next never-been-online CPU
comes online. This means that RCU will be ignoring some CPUs that it
should be paying attention to.
The solution is to update ->ncpus and ->expmaskinitnext while holding
the ->lock for the rcu_node structure containing the ->expmaskinitnext
mask. Because smp_store_release() is now used to update ->ncpus and
smp_load_acquire() is now used to locklessly read it, if the expedited
grace period sees ->ncpus change, then the updating CPU has to
already be holding the corresponding ->lock. Therefore, when the
expedited grace period later acquires that ->lock, it is guaranteed
to see the new value of ->expmaskinitnext.
On the other hand, if the expedited grace period loads ->ncpus just
before an update, earlier full memory barriers guarantee that
the incoming CPU isn't far enough along to be running any RCU readers.
This commit therefore makes the required change.

RCU callbacks must be migrated away from an outgoing CPU, and this is
done near the end of the CPU-hotplug operation, after the outgoing CPU is
long gone. Unfortunately, this means that other CPU-hotplug callbacks
can execute while the outgoing CPU's callbacks are still immobilized
on the long-gone CPU's callback lists. If any of these CPU-hotplug
callbacks must wait, either directly or indirectly, for the invocation
of any of the immobilized RCU callbacks, the system will hang.
This commit avoids such hangs by migrating the callbacks away from the
outgoing CPU immediately upon its departure, shortly after the return
from __cpu_die() in takedown_cpu(). Thus, RCU is able to advance these
callbacks and invoke them, which allows all the after-the-fact CPU-hotplug
callbacks to wait on these RCU callbacks without risk of a hang.
While in the neighborhood, this commit also moves rcu_send_cbs_to_orphanage()
and rcu_adopt_orphan_cbs() under a pre-existing #ifdef to avoid including
dead code on the one hand and to avoid define-without-use warnings on the
other hand.

useful for torture testing, and there are the rcutree.gp_cleanup_delay,
rcutree.gp_init_delay, and rcutree.gp_preinit_delay kernel boot parameters
that rcutorture can use instead. The effect of these parameters is to
artificially slow down grace period initialization and cleanup in order
to make some types of race conditions happen more often.
This commit therefore simplifies Tree RCU a bit by removing the Kconfig
options and adding the corresponding kernel parameters to rcutorture's
.boot files instead. However, this commit also leaves out the kernel
parameters for TREE02, TREE04, and TREE07 in order to have about the
same number of tests slowed as not slowed. TREE01, TREE03, TREE05,
and TREE06 are slowed, and the rest are not slowed.

The "__call_rcu(): Leaked duplicate callback" error message from
__call_rcu() has proven to be unhelpful. This commit therefore changes
it to "__call_rcu(): Double-freed CB" and adds the value of the pointer
passed in. The value of the pointer improves debuggability by allowing
correlation with tracing output, for example, the rcu:rcu_callback trace
event.

The __rcu_is_watching() function is currently not used, aside from
to implement the rcu_is_watching() function. This commit therefore
eliminates __rcu_is_watching(), which has the beneficial side-effect
of shrinking include/linux/rcupdate.h a bit.

The include/linux/rcupdate.h file is included by more than 200
files, so shrinking it should provide some build-time benefits.
This commit therefore moves several docbook comments from rcupdate.h to
kernel/rcu/update.c, kernel/rcu/tree.c, and kernel/rcu/tree_plugin.h, thus
reducing the number of times that the compiler has to scan these comments.
This likely provides only a small benefit, but every little bit helps.
This commit also fixes a malformed bulleted list noted by the 0day
Test Robot.

Comments can be helpful, but assertions carry more force. This
commit therefore adds lockdep_assert_held() and RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN()
calls to enforce lock-held and interrupt-disabled preconditions.

This commit adds WARN_ON_ONCE() calls that trigger if either

The synchronize_kernel() primitive was removed in favor of
synchronize_sched() more than a decade ago, and it seems likely that
rather few kernel hackers are familiar with it. Its continued presence
is therefore providing more confusion than enlightenment. This commit
therefore removes the reference from the synchronize_sched() header
comment, and adds the corresponding information to the synchronize_rcu(0
header comment.

Although preemptible RCU allows its read-side critical sections to be
preempted, general blocking is forbidden. The reason for this is that
excessive preemption times can be handled by CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y, but a
voluntarily blocked task doesn't care how high you boost its priority.
Because preemptible RCU is a global mechanism, one ill-behaved reader
hurts everyone. Hence the prohibition against general blocking in
RCU-preempt read-side critical sections. Preemption yes, blocking no.
This commit enforces this prohibition.
There is a special exception for the -rt patchset (which they kindly
volunteered to implement): It is OK to block (as opposed to merely being
preempted) within an RCU-preempt read-side critical section, but only if
the blocking is subject to priority inheritance. This exception permits
CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y to get -rt RCU readers out of trouble.
Why doesn't this exception also apply to mainline's rt_mutex? Because
of the possibility that someone does general blocking while holding
an rt_mutex. Yes, the priority boosting will affect the rt_mutex,
but it won't help with the task doing general blocking while holding
that rt_mutex.

Currently rcu_barrier() uses call_rcu() to enqueue new callbacks
on each CPU with a non-empty callback list. This works, but means
that rcu_barrier() forces grace periods that are not otherwise needed.
The key point is that rcu_barrier() never needs to wait for a grace
period, but instead only for all pre-existing callbacks to be invoked.
This means that rcu_barrier()'s new callbacks should be placed in
the callback-list segment containing the last pre-existing callback.
This commit makes this change using the new rcu_segcblist_entrain()
function.

Because the rcu_cblist_n_lazy_cbs() just samples the ->len_lazy counter,
and because the rcu_cblist structure is quite straightforward, it makes
sense to open-code rcu_cblist_n_lazy_cbs(p) as p->len_lazy, cutting out
a level of indirection. This commit makes this change.

In the past, SRCU was simple enough that there was little point in
making the rcutorture writer stall messages print the SRCU grace-period
number state. With the advent of Tree SRCU, this has changed. This
commit therefore makes Classic, Tiny, and Tree SRCU report this state
to rcutorture as needed.
