The rcutorture scripting scans the console output twice, once to look
for various sorts of hangs and again to find warnings and panics.
Unfortunately, only the output of the second scan gets written to the
console.log.diags file, which can cause hangs to be overlooked.
This commit therefore folds the parse-torture.sh script (which looks
for hangs) into the parse-console.sh script (which looks for warnings
and panics). This allows both types of failure information to be
added to console.log.diags, while still reliably removing this file
when it proves to be empty.
This also fixes a long-standing bug where rcuperf log files would
unconditionally complain about a hang.

The rcuperf trace-event processing counted every "done" trace event

The purpose of jitter is to expose concurrency bugs due to invalid
assumptions about forward progress. There is usually little point
in jitter when measuring performance. This commit therefore defaults
jitter off when running rcuperf. You can override this by specifying
the kvm.sh "--jitter" argument -after- the "--torture rcuperf"
argument. No idea why you would want this, but if you do, that is
how you do it.
One example of a conccurrency bug that this jitter might expose is one
in which the developer assumed that a given short region of code would be
guaranteed to execute within some short time limit. Such assumptions are
invalid in virtualized environments because the hupervisor can preempt
the guest OS at any point, even when the guest OS thinks that it has
disabled interrupts.

Commit 6f1982fedd ("sched/isolation: Handle the nohz_full= parameter")
broke CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL=y kernels. This breakage is due to the code
under CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL failing to invoke the shiny new housekeeping
functions. This means that rcutorture scenario TREE04 now emits RCU CPU
stall warnings due to the RCU grace-period kthreads not being awakened
at a time of their choosing, or perhaps even not at all:

rcutorture's config files to instead use the nohz_full= kernel parameter
to put the desired CPUs into nohz_full mode.

The purpose of torture_runnable is to allow rcutorture and locktorture
to be started and stopped via sysfs when they are built into the kernel
(as in not compiled as loadable modules). However, the 0444 permissions
for both instances of torture_runnable prevent this use case from ever
being put into practice. Given that there have been no complaints
about this deficiency, it is reasonable to conclude that no one actually
makes use of this sysfs capability. The perf_runnable module parameter
for rcuperf is in the same situation.
This commit therefore removes both torture_runnable instances as well
as perf_runnable.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't currently harmful.
However, for some features it is necessary to instrument reads and
writes separately, which is not possible with ACCESS_ONCE(). This
distinction is critical to correct operation.
The bulk of the kernel code can be transformed via Coccinelle to use
{READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), though this only modifies users of ACCESS_ONCE(),
and not the implementation itself. As such, it has the potential to
break homebrew ACCESS_ONCE() macros seen in some user code in the kernel
tree (e.g. the virtio code, as fixed in commit ea9156fb3b).
To avoid fragility if/when that transformation occurs, this patch
reworks the definitions of {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in the rcutorture formal
tests, and removes the unused ACCESS_ONCE() helper. There should be no
functional change as a result of this patch.

The maxcpus= kernel boot parameter limits the number of CPUs brought
online at boot time, but it does nothing to prevent additional CPUs
from being brought up later. Placing a hard cap on the total number
of CPUs is instead the job of the nr_cpus= boot parameter. This commit
therefore switches the configfrag_boot_cpus() shell function from maxcpus=
to nr_cpus=. This commit also adds a nr_cpus=43 kernel parameter to RCU's
TREE01 test scenario, but retains the maxcpus=8 kernel parameter in order
to test the ability of RCU expedited grace periods to handle new CPUs
coming online for the first time during grace-period initialization.
Finally, this commit makes the torture scheduling allow maxcpus= to
override other means of specifying the number of CPUs to allow for.
This last works because the torture kernel modules size their workloads
based on the number of CPUs present at the start of the test, not the
ultimate number of CPUs.

Currently, rcutorture groups runs in batches, building each scenario in
a given batch, then invoking qemu to run all the kernels in the batch.
Of course, if a given scenario's kernel fails to build, there is no qemu
run for that scenario. And if all of the kernels in a given batch fail
to build, there are no runs, and rcutorture immediately starts on the
next batch.
But not if --jitter has been specified, which it is by default. In this
case, the jitter scripts are started unconditionally, and rcutorture
waits for them to complete, even though there are no kernels to run.
This commit therefore checks for this situation, and refuses to start
jitter unless at least one of the kernels in the batch built successfully.
This saves substantial time when all scenarios' kernels fail to build,
particularly if a long --duration was specified.

Currently, testing a variant of an existing scenario requires editing
that scenario's file or creating a new scenario file. This is messy
and error prone with respect to changes to scenarios.
This commit therefore adds a --kconfig argument to kvm.sh, so that
'--kconfig "CONFIG_RCU_TRACE=y CONFIG_RCU_EQS_DEBUG=n" will override those
two Kconfig options. In addition, there is now clear precedence:
the config fragment overrides CFcommon, and the --kconfig argument
overrides both.

This commit selects CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING for the SRCU-u scenario

Classic SRCU is no more, so this commit removes the corresponding
rcutorture boot-parameters file.

Tiny RCU's job is to be tiny, so this commit removes its RCU CPU
stall warning code. After this, there is no longer any need for
rcu_sched_ctrlblk and rcu_bh_ctrlblk to be in tiny_plugin.h, so this
commit also moves them to tiny.c.

The CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL, CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_NONE, and
CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ZERO Kconfig options are used only in testing and
are redundant with the rcu_nocbs= boot parameter. This commit therefore
removes these three Kconfig options and adjusts the rcutorture scripts
to use the boot parameter instead.

RCU's debugfs tracing used to be the only reasonable low-level debug
information available, but ftrace and event tracing has since surpassed
the RCU debugfs level of usefulness. This commit therefore removes
RCU's debugfs tracing.

Classic SRCU was only ever intended to be a fallback in case of issues
with Tree/Tiny SRCU, and the latter two are doing quite well in testing.
This commit therefore removes Classic SRCU.

The sparse-based checking for non-RCU accesses to RCU-protected pointers
has been around for a very long time, and it is now the only type of
sparse-based checking that is optional. This commit therefore makes
it unconditional.

The PROVE_RCU_REPEATEDLY Kconfig option was initially added due to
the volume of messages from PROVE_RCU: Doing just one per boot would
have required excessive numbers of boots to locate them all. However,
PROVE_RCU messages are now relatively rare, so there is no longer any
reason to need more than one such message per boot. This commit therefore
removes the PROVE_RCU_REPEATEDLY Kconfig option.

The NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE full-system-idle capability was added in 2013
by commit 0edd1b1784 ("nohz_full: Add full-system-idle state machine"),
but has not been used. This commit therefore removes it.
If it turns out to be needed later, this commit can always be reverted.

Anything that can be done with the RCU_KTHREAD_PRIO Kconfig option can
also be done with the rcutree.kthread_prio kernel boot parameter.
This commit therefore removes this Kconfig option.

The RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT_DELAY,
RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT_DELAY, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT,
RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_CLEANUP,
and RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_CLEANUP_DELAY Kconfig options are only
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.

Currently, when running from a git archive, the testid.txt file contains
only the branch name, the output of "git status", and the SHA-1 of
the current HEAD. This is useful, but does not uniquely identify the
source code that was built. This commit therefore adds the output of
"git diff HEAD", which means that if two testid.txt files compare equal,
they correspond to exactly the same source code. Give or take the
possibility of SHA-1 collisions, that is. ;-)
