During testing, it was observed that amount of memory consumed due
kfree_rcu() batching is 300-400MB. Previously we had only a single
head_free pointer pointing to the list of rcu_head(s) that are to be
freed after a grace period. Until this list is drained, we cannot queue
any more objects on it since such objects may not be ready to be
reclaimed when the worker thread eventually gets to drainin g the
head_free list.
We can do better by maintaining multiple lists as done by this patch.
Testing shows that memory consumption came down by around 100-150MB with
just adding another list. Adding more than 1 additional list did not
show any improvement.

Recently a discussion about stability and performance of a system
involving a high rate of kfree_rcu() calls surfaced on the list [1]
which led to another discussion how to prepare for this situation.
This patch adds basic batching support for kfree_rcu(). It is "basic"
because we do none of the slab management, dynamic allocation, code
moving or any of the other things, some of which previous attempts did
[2]. These fancier improvements can be follow-up patches and there are
different ideas being discussed in those regards. This is an effort to
start simple, and build up from there. In the future, an extension to
use kfree_bulk and possibly per-slab batching could be done to further
improve performance due to cache-locality and slab-specific bulk free
optimizations. By using an array of pointers, the worker thread
processing the work would need to read lesser data since it does not
need to deal with large rcu_head(s) any longer.
Torture tests follow in the next patch and show improvements of around
5x reduction in number of grace periods on a 16 CPU system. More
details and test data are in that patch.
There is an implication with rcu_barrier() with this patch. Since the
kfree_rcu() calls can be batched, and may not be handed yet to the RCU
machinery in fact, the monitor may not have even run yet to do the
queue_rcu_work(), there seems no easy way of implementing rcu_barrier()
to wait for those kfree_rcu()s that are already made. So this means a
kfree_rcu() followed by an rcu_barrier() does not imply that memory will
be freed once rcu_barrier() returns.
Another implication is higher active memory usage (although not
run-away..) until the kfree_rcu() flooding ends, in comparison to
without batching. More details about this are in the second patch which
adds an rcuperf test.
Finally, in the near future we will get rid of kfree_rcu() special casing
within RCU such as in rcu_do_batch and switch everything to just
batching. Currently we don't do that since timer subsystem is not yet up
and we cannot schedule the kfree_rcu() monitor as the timer subsystem's
lock are not initialized. That would also mean getting rid of
kfree_call_rcu_nobatch() entirely.

The RCU-specific resched_cpu() function sends a resched IPI to the
specified CPU, which can be used to force the tick on for a given
nohz_full CPU. This is needed when this nohz_full CPU is looping in the
kernel while blocking the current grace period. However, for the tick
to actually be forced on in all cases, that CPU's rcu_data structure's
->rcu_urgent_qs flag must be set beforehand. This commit therefore

If a nohz_full CPU is idle or executing in userspace, it makes good sense
to keep it out of RCU core processing. After all, the RCU grace-period
kthread can see its quiescent states and all of its callbacks are
offloaded, so there is nothing for RCU core processing to do.
However, if a nohz_full CPU is executing in kernel space, the RCU
grace-period kthread cannot do anything for it, so such a CPU must report
its own quiescent states. This commit therefore makes nohz_full CPUs
skip RCU core processing only if the scheduler-clock interrupt caught
them in idle or in userspace.

Commit 671a63517c ("rcu: Avoid unnecessary softirq when system
is idle") fixed a bug that could result in an indefinite number of
unnecessary invocations of the RCU_SOFTIRQ handler at the trailing edge
of a scheduler-clock interrupt. However, the fix introduced off-CPU
stores to ->core_needs_qs. These writes did not conflict with the
on-CPU stores because the CPU's leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock was
held across all such stores. However, the loads from ->core_needs_qs
were not promoted to READ_ONCE() and, worse yet, the code loading from
->core_needs_qs was written assuming that it was only ever updated by
the corresponding CPU. So operation has been robust, but only by luck.
This situation is therefore an accident waiting to happen.
This commit therefore takes a different approach. Instead of clearing
->core_needs_qs from the grace-period kthread's force-quiescent-state
processing, it modifies the rcu_pending() function to suppress the
rcu_sched_clock_irq() function's call to invoke_rcu_core() if there is no
grace period in progress. This avoids the infinite needless RCU_SOFTIRQ
handlers while still keeping all accesses to ->core_needs_qs local to
the corresponding CPU.

In some cases, tracing shows that need_heavy_qs is still set even though
urgent_qs was cleared upon reporting of a quiescent state. One such
case is when the softirq reports that a CPU has passed quiescent state.
Commit 671a63517c ("rcu: Avoid unnecessary softirq when system is
idle") fixed a bug where core_needs_qs was not being cleared. In order
to avoid running into similar situations with the urgent-grace-period
flags, this commit causes rcu_disable_urgency_upon_qs(), previously
rcu_disable_tick_upon_qs(), to clear the urgency hints, ->rcu_urgent_qs
and ->rcu_need_heavy_qs. Note that it is possible for CPUs to go
offline with these urgency hints still set. This is handled because
rcu_disable_urgency_upon_qs() is also invoked during the online process.
Because these hints can be cleared both by the corresponding CPU and by
the grace-period kthread, this commit also adds a number of READ_ONCE()
and WRITE_ONCE() calls.

Callback invocation can run for a significant time period, and within

This commit therefore forces scheduling-clock interrupts on whenever more
than a few RCU callbacks are invoked. Because offloaded callback invocation
can be preempted, this forcing is withdrawn on each context switch. This
in turn requires that the loop invoking RCU callbacks reiterate the forcing
periodically.

Bimodal behavior of rcu_do_batch() is not really suited to Google
applications like gfe servers.
When a process with millions of sockets exits, closing all files
queues two rcu callbacks per socket.
This eventually reaches the point where RCU enters an emergency
mode, where rcu_do_batch() do not return until whole queue is flushed.
Each rcu callback lasts at least 70 nsec, so with millions of
elements, we easily spend more than 100 msec without rescheduling.
Goal of this patch is to avoid the infamous message like following
"need_resched set for > 51999388 ns (52 ticks) without schedule"
We dynamically adjust the number of elements we process, instead
of 10 / INFINITE choices, we use a floor of ~1 % of current entries.
If the number is above 1000, we switch to a time based limit of 3 msec
per batch, adjustable with /sys/module/rcutree/parameters/rcu_resched_ns

Use of the rcu_data structure's segmented ->cblist for no-CBs CPUs
takes advantage of unrelated grace periods, thus reducing the memory
footprint in the face of floods of call_rcu() invocations. However,
the ->cblist field is a more-complex rcu_segcblist structure which must
be protected via locking. Even though there are only three entities
which can acquire this lock (the CPU invoking call_rcu(), the no-CBs
grace-period kthread, and the no-CBs callbacks kthread), the contention
on this lock is excessive under heavy stress.
This commit therefore greatly reduces contention by provisioning
an rcu_cblist structure field named ->nocb_bypass within the
rcu_data structure. Each no-CBs CPU is permitted only a limited
number of enqueues onto the ->cblist per jiffy, controlled by a new
nocb_nobypass_lim_per_jiffy kernel boot parameter that defaults to
about 16 enqueues per millisecond (16 * 1000 / HZ). When that limit is
exceeded, the CPU instead enqueues onto the new ->nocb_bypass.
The ->nocb_bypass is flushed into the ->cblist every jiffy or when
the number of callbacks on ->nocb_bypass exceeds qhimark, whichever
happens first. During call_rcu() floods, this flushing is carried out
by the CPU during the course of its call_rcu() invocations. However,
a CPU could simply stop invoking call_rcu() at any time. The no-CBs
grace-period kthread therefore carries out less-aggressive flushing
(every few jiffies or when the number of callbacks on ->nocb_bypass
exceeds (2 * qhimark), whichever comes first). This means that the
no-CBs grace-period kthread cannot be permitted to do unbounded waits
while there are callbacks on ->nocb_bypass. A ->nocb_bypass_timer is
used to provide the needed wakeups.

needing to awaken the grace-period kthread. Given that the no-awaken
check can be done locklessly, this commit reverses the order, so that
rcu_advance_cbs_nowake() is invoked without holding the leaf rcu_node

Currently, the code provides an extra wakeup for the no-CBs grace-period
kthread if one of its CPUs is generating excessive numbers of callbacks.
But satisfying though it is to wake something up when things are going
south, unless the thing being awakened can actually help solve the
problem, that extra wakeup does nothing but consume additional CPU time,
which is exactly what you don't want during a call_rcu() flood.
This commit therefore avoids doing anything if the corresponding
no-CBs callback kthread is going full tilt. Otherwise, if advancing
callbacks immediately might help and if the leaf rcu_node structure's
lock is immediately available, this commit invokes a new variant of
rcu_advance_cbs() that advances callbacks only if doing so won't require
awakening the grace-period kthread (not to be confused with any of the
no-CBs grace-period kthreads).

Currently the RCU callbacks for no-CBs CPUs are queued on a series of
ad-hoc linked lists, which means that these callbacks cannot benefit
from "drive-by" grace periods, thus suffering needless delays prior
to invocation. In addition, the no-CBs grace-period kthreads first
wait for callbacks to appear and later wait for a new grace period,
which means that callbacks appearing during a grace-period wait can
be delayed. These delays increase memory footprint, and could even
result in an out-of-memory condition.
This commit therefore enqueues RCU callbacks from no-CBs CPUs on the
rcu_segcblist structure that is already used by non-no-CBs CPUs. It also
restructures the no-CBs grace-period kthread to be checking for incoming
callbacks while waiting for grace periods. Also, instead of waiting
for a new grace period, it waits for the closest grace period that will
cause some of the callbacks to be safe to invoke. All of these changes
reduce callback latency and thus the number of outstanding callbacks,
in turn reducing the probability of an out-of-memory condition.

As a first step towards making no-CBs CPUs use the ->cblist, this commit
leaves the ->cblist enabled for these CPUs. The main reason to make

In theory, a timer is used to defer wakeups of no-CBs grace-period
kthreads when the wakeup cannot be done safely directly from the
call_rcu(). In practice, the one-jiffy delay is not always consistent
with timely callback invocation under heavy call_rcu() loads. Therefore,
there are a number of checks for a pending deferred wakeup, including
from the scheduling-clock interrupt. Unfortunately, this check follows
the rcu_nohz_full_cpu() early exit, which renders it useless on such CPUs.
This commit therefore moves the check for the pending deferred no-CB
wakeup to precede the rcu_nohz_full_cpu() early exit.

Because rcutree_migrate_callbacks() is invoked infrequently and because
an exact snapshot of the grace-period state might save some callbacks a
second trip through a grace period, this function has used the root
rcu_node structure. However, this safe-second-trip optimization
happens only if rcutree_migrate_callbacks() races with grace-period
initialization, so it is not worth the added mental load. This commit
therefore makes rcutree_migrate_callbacks() start with the leaf rcu_node

This commit is a preparatory patch for offloaded callbacks using the
same ->cblist structure used by non-offloaded callbacks. It therefore
adds rcu_segcblist_is_offloaded() calls where they will be needed when
!rcu_segcblist_is_enabled() no longer flags the offloaded case. It also
adds checks in rcu_do_batch() to ensure that there are no missed checks:
Currently, it should not be possible for offloaded execution to reach
rcu_do_batch(), though this will change later in this series.

RCU callback processing currently uses rcu_is_nocb_cpu() to determine
whether or not the current CPU's callbacks are to be offloaded.
This works, but it is not so good for cache locality. Plus use of
->cblist for offloaded callbacks will greatly increase the frequency
of these checks. This commit therefore adds a ->offloaded flag to the
rcu_segcblist structure to provide a more flexible and cache-friendly
means of checking for callback offloading.

Currently, if a CPU has more than 10,000 callbacks pending, it will
increase rdp->blimit to LONG_MAX. If you are lucky, LONG_MAX is only
about two billion, but this is still a bit too many callbacks to invoke
back-to-back while otherwise ignoring the world.
This commit therefore sets a maximum limit of DEFAULT_MAX_RCU_BLIMIT,
which is set to 10,000, for rdp->blimit.

It would be good to combine the dynticks and dynticks_nesting counters
in order to simplify the code. Unfortunately, there are concerns
about usermode upcalls appearing to RCU as half of an interrupt, as
Byungchul learned [1]. The "half" in "half interrupt" is due to an
unpaired rcu_irq_enter(): Normally, each rcu_irq_enter() has a later
call to rcu_irq_exit().
Out of an abundance of caution, Paul added warnings [2] in the RCU
code which if not fired by 2021 will be interpreted as meaning that
this half-interrupt scenario cannot happen any more, thus permitting
simplification of this code.
In the meantime, this commit makes the following changes:
(1) Combining these two counters requires that rcu_rrupt_from_idle()
is invoked only from hard-interrupt contexts as discussed here [3].
This commit therefore adds the required lockdep_assert_in_irq()
to check this constraint.
(2) Furthermore, rcu_rrupt_from_idle() is not explicit about how it
is using the counters which can lead to weird future bugs. This
commit therefore adds comments indicating the meaning and use of
each counter.
(3) Lastly, this commit checks for counter underflows as another check
that half interrupts don't occur. (Previously, the function would
simply return true upon underflow.)
All these checks checks are NOOPs if PROVE_LOCKING (and thus PROVE_RCU)
are disabled.

Some workloads need to change kthread priority for RCU core processing
without affecting other softirq work. This commit therefore introduces
the rcutree.use_softirq kernel boot parameter, which moves the RCU core
work from softirq to a per-CPU SCHED_OTHER kthread named rcuc. Use of
SCHED_OTHER approach avoids the scalability problems that appeared
with the earlier attempt to move RCU core processing to from softirq
to kthreads. That said, kernels built with RCU_BOOST=y will run the
rcuc kthreads at the RCU-boosting priority.
Note that rcutree.use_softirq=0 must be specified to move RCU core
processing to the rcuc kthreads: rcutree.use_softirq=1 is the default.

The RCU CPU stall-warning code for normal grace periods is currently

Previously, threads blocked on offlining CPUS were migrated to the

migrate blocked tasks. Consequently, RCU no longer does RCU priority

The rcutree.kthread_prio kernel-boot parameter is used to set the
priority for boost (rcub), per-CPU (rcuc), and grace-period (rcu_preempt
or rcu_sched) kthreads. It is also used by rcutorture to check whether
it is possible to meaningfully test RCU priority boosting. However,
all of these cases will either ignore or be confused by any post-boot
changes to rcutree.kthread_prio.
Note that the user really can change the priorities of all of these
kthreads using chrt, given sufficient privileges. Therefore, the
read-write nature of sysfs access to rcutree.kthread_prio is thus at

When there are no callbacks pending on an idle system, I noticed that
RCU softirq is continuously firing. During this the cpu_no_qs is set to
false, and core_needs_qs is set to true indefinitely. This causes
rcu_process_callbacks to be repeatedly called, even though the node
corresponding to the CPU has that CPU's mask bit cleared and the system
is idle. I believe the race is when such mask clearing is done during
idle CPU scan of the quiescent state forcing stage in the kthread
instead of the softirq. Since the rnp mask is cleared, but the flags on
the CPU's rdp are not cleared, the CPU thinks it still needs to report
to core RCU.
Cure this by clearing the core_needs_qs flag when the CPU detects that
its node is already updated which will avoid the unwanted softirq raises
to the benefit of real-time systems.

srcu_queue_delayed_work_on() disables preemption (and therefore CPU
hotplug in RCU's case) and then checks based on its own accounting if a
CPU is online. If the CPU is online it uses queue_delayed_work_on()
otherwise it fallbacks to queue_delayed_work().
The problem here is that queue_work() on -RT does not work with disabled
preemption.
queue_work_on() works also on an offlined CPU. queue_delayed_work_on()
has the problem that it is possible to program a timer on an offlined
CPU. This timer will fire once the CPU is online again. But until then,
the timer remains programmed and nothing will happen.
Add a local timer which will fire (as requested per delay) on the local

Although the name rcu_process_callbacks() still makes sense for Tiny
RCU, where most of what it does is invoke callbacks, it no longer makes
much sense for Tree RCU, especially given that the actually callback
invocation is relegated to rcu_do_batch(), or, for no-CBs CPUs, to the
rcuo kthreads. Especially in the latter case, rcu_process_callbacks()
has very little to do with actual callbacks. A better description of
this function is that it performs RCU's core processing.
This commit therefore changes the name of Tree RCU's rcu_process_callbacks()

The name rcu_check_callbacks() arguably made sense back in the early
2000s when RCU was quite a bit simpler than it is today, but it has
become quite misleading, especially with the advent of dyntick-idle
and NO_HZ_FULL. The rcu_check_callbacks() function is RCU's hook into
the scheduling-clock interrupt, and is now but one of many ways that
callbacks get promoted to invocable state.
This commit therefore changes the name to rcu_sched_clock_irq(),
which is the same number of characters and clearly indicates this
function's relation to the rest of the Linux kernel. In addition, for
the sake of consistency, rcu_flavor_check_callbacks() is also renamed
to rcu_flavor_sched_clock_irq().

Unfortunately, natural though it might be, this heuristic fails when
rcu_gp_kthread_wake() is invoked from an interrupt or softirq handler
that interrupted the grace-period kthread just after the final check of
the wait-event condition but just before the schedule() call. In this
case, a wakeup is required, even though the call to rcu_gp_kthread_wake()
is within the RCU grace-period kthread's context. Failing to provide
this wakeup can result in grace periods failing to start, which in turn
results in out-of-memory conditions.
This race window is quite narrow, but it actually did happen during real
testing. It would of course need to be fixed even if it was strictly
theoretical in nature.
This patch does not Cc stable because it does not apply cleanly to
earlier kernel versions.

If a grace period fails to start (for example, because you commented
out the last two lines of rcu_accelerate_cbs_unlocked()), rcu_core()
will invoke rcu_check_gp_start_stall(), which will notice and complain.
However, this complaint is lacking crucial debugging information such
as when the last wakeup executed and what the value of ->gp_seq was at
that time. This commit therefore removes the current pr_alert() from
rcu_check_gp_start_stall(), instead invoking show_rcu_gp_kthreads(),
which has been updated to print the needed information, which is collected
by rcu_gp_kthread_wake().

It is perfectly fine to set the rcutree.jiffies_till_first_fqs boot
parameter to zero, in fact, this can be useful on specialty systems that
usually have at least one idle CPU and that need fast grace periods.
This is because this setting causes the RCU grace-period kthread to
scan for idle threads immediately after grace-period initialization,
as opposed to waiting several jiffies to do so.
It is also perfectly fine to set the rcutree.rcu_kick_kthreads kernel
parameter, which gives the RCU grace-period kthread an extra wakeup
if it doesn't make progress for a period of three times the setting of
the rcutree.jiffies_till_first_fqs boot parameter. This is of course
problematic when the value of this parameter is zero, as it can result
in unnecessary wakeup IPIs along with unnecessary WARN_ONCE() invocations.
This commit therefore defers kthread kicking for at least two jiffies,
regardless of the setting of rcutree.jiffies_till_first_fqs.

Back when there were multiple flavors of RCU, it was necessary to
separately count lazy and non-lazy callbacks for each CPU. These counts
were used in CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ kernels to determine how long a newly
idle CPU should be allowed to sleep before handling its RCU callbacks.
But now that there is only one flavor, the callback counts for a given
CPU's sole rcu_data structure are the counts for that CPU.
This commit therefore removes the rcu_data structure's ->nonlazy_posted
and ->nonlazy_posted_snap fields, the rcu_idle_count_callbacks_posted()
and rcu_cpu_has_callbacks() functions, repurposes the rcu_data structure's

In order to debug forward-progress stalls, it is necessary to check
for excessively delayed grace-period starts. This is currently done
for RCU CPU stall warnings by rcu_check_gp_start_stall(), which checks
to see if the start of a requested grace period has been delayed by an
RCU CPU stall warning period. Because rcutorture will need to check
for the time consumed by an RCU forward-progress delay, this commit

Event tracing is moving to SRCU in order to take advantage of the fact
that SRCU may be safely used from idle and even offline CPUs. However,
event tracing can invoke call_srcu() very early in the boot process,
even before workqueue_init_early() is invoked (let alone rcu_init()).
Therefore, call_srcu()'s attempts to queue work fail miserably.
This commit therefore detects this situation, and refrains from attempting
to queue work before rcu_init() time, but does everything else that it
would have done, and in addition, adds the srcu_struct to a global list.
The rcu_init() function now invokes a new srcu_init() function, which
is empty if CONFIG_SRCU=n. Otherwise, srcu_init() queues work for
each srcu_struct on the list. This all happens early enough in boot
that there is but a single CPU with interrupts disabled, which allows
synchronization to be dispensed with.
Of course, the queued work won't actually be invoked until after
workqueue_init() is invoked, which happens shortly after the scheduler
is up and running. This means that although call_srcu() may be invoked
any time after per-CPU variables have been set up, there is still a very
narrow window when synchronize_srcu() won't work, and this window
extends from the time that the scheduler starts until the time that
workqueue_init() returns. This can be fixed in a manner similar to
the fix for synchronize_rcu_expedited() and friends, but until someone
actually needs to use synchronize_srcu() during this window, this fix
is added churn for no benefit.
Finally, note that Tree SRCU's new srcu_init() function invokes
queue_work() rather than the queue_delayed_work() function that is
invoked post-boot. The reason is that queue_delayed_work() will (as you
would expect) post a timer, and timers have not yet been initialized.
So use of queue_work() avoids the complaints about use of uninitialized
spinlocks that would otherwise result. Besides, some delay is already
provide by the aforementioned fact that the queued work won't actually
be invoked until after the scheduler is up and running.

Because nohz_full CPUs can leave the scheduler-clock interrupt disabled

enlist the scheduler's aid in extracting a quiescent state from such CPUs.
This commit therefore more aggressively uses resched_cpu() on nohz_full
CPUs that fail to pass through a quiescent state in a timely manner.
By default, the resched_cpu() beating starts 300 milliseconds into the

The jiffies_till_sched_qs value used to determine how old a grace period
must be before RCU enlists the help of the scheduler to force a quiescent
state on the holdout CPU. Currently, this defaults to HZ/10 regardless of
system size and may be set only at boot time. This can be a problem for
very large systems, because if the values of the jiffies_till_first_fqs
and jiffies_till_next_fqs kernel parameters are left at their defaults,
they are calculated to increase as the number of CPUs actually configured
on the system increases. Thus, on a sufficiently large system, RCU would
enlist the help of the scheduler before the grace-period kthread had a
chance to scan for idle CPUs, which wastes CPU time.
This commit therefore allows jiffies_till_sched_qs to be set, if desired,
but if left as default, computes is as jiffies_till_first_fqs plus twice
jiffies_till_next_fqs, thus allowing three force-quiescent-state scans
for idle CPUs. This scales with the number of CPUs, providing sensible
default values.

equivalent. This commit therefore moves rcu_is_cpu_rrupt_from_idle()

The per-CPU rcu_dynticks.rcu_urgent_qs variable communicates an urgent
need for an RCU quiescent state from the force-quiescent-state processing
within the grace-period kthread to context switches and to cond_resched().
Unfortunately, such urgent needs are not communicated to need_resched(),
which is sometimes used to decide when to invoke cond_resched(), for
but one example, within the KVM vcpu_run() function. As of v4.15, this
can result in synchronize_sched() being delayed by up to ten seconds,
which can be problematic, to say nothing of annoying.
This commit therefore checks rcu_dynticks.rcu_urgent_qs from within
rcu_check_callbacks(), which is invoked from the scheduling-clock
interrupt handler. If the current task is not an idle task and is
not executing in usermode, a context switch is forced, and either way,
the rcu_dynticks.rcu_urgent_qs variable is set to false. If the current
task is an idle task, then RCU's dyntick-idle code will detect the
quiescent state, so no further action is required. Similarly, if the
task is executing in usermode, other code in rcu_check_callbacks() and
its called functions will report the corresponding quiescent state.

One necessary step towards consolidating the three flavors of RCU is to
make sure that the resulting consolidated "one flavor to rule them all"
correctly handles networking denial-of-service attacks. One thing that
allows RCU-bh to do so is that __do_softirq() invokes rcu_bh_qs() every
so often, and so something similar has to happen for consolidated RCU.
This must be done carefully. For example, if a preemption-disabled
region of code takes an interrupt which does softirq processing before
returning, consolidated RCU must ignore the resulting rcu_bh_qs()
invocations -- preemption is still disabled, and that means an RCU
reader for the consolidated flavor.
This commit therefore creates a new rcu_softirq_qs() that is called only
from the ksoftirqd task, thus avoiding the interrupted-a-preempted-region
problem. This new rcu_softirq_qs() function invokes rcu_sched_qs(),
rcu_preempt_qs(), and rcu_preempt_deferred_qs(). The latter call handles
any deferred quiescent states.
Note that __do_softirq() still invokes rcu_bh_qs(). It will continue to
do so until a later stage of cleanup when the RCU-bh flavor is removed.

RCU's dyntick-idle code is written to tolerate half-interrupts, that it,
either an interrupt that invokes rcu_irq_enter() but never invokes the
corresponding rcu_irq_exit() on the one hand, or an interrupt that never
invokes rcu_irq_enter() but does invoke the "corresponding" rcu_irq_exit()
on the other. These things really did happen at one time, as evidenced
by this ca-2011 LKML post:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20111014170019.GE2428@linux.vnet.ibm.com
The reason why RCU tolerates half-interrupts is that usermode helpers
used exceptions to invoke a system call from within the kernel such that
the system call did a normal return (not a return from exception) to
the calling context. This caused rcu_irq_enter() to be invoked without
a matching rcu_irq_exit(). However, usermode helpers have since been
rewritten to make much more housebroken use of workqueues, kernel threads,
and do_execve(), and therefore should no longer produce half-interrupts.
No one knows of any other source of half-interrupts, but then again,
no one seems insane enough to go audit the entire kernel to verify that
half-interrupts really are a relic of the past.
This commit therefore adds a pair of WARN_ON_ONCE() calls that will
trigger in the presence of half interrupts, which the code will continue
to handle correctly. If neither of these WARN_ON_ONCE() trigger by
mid-2021, then perhaps RCU can stop handling half-interrupts, which
would be a considerable simplification.

This commit defers reporting of RCU-preempt quiescent states at
rcu_read_unlock_special() time when any of interrupts, softirq, or
preemption are disabled. These deferred quiescent states are reported
at a later RCU_SOFTIRQ, context switch, idle entry, or CPU-hotplug
offline operation. Of course, if another RCU read-side critical
section has started in the meantime, the reporting of the quiescent
state will be further deferred.
This also means that disabling preemption, interrupts, and/or
softirqs will act as an RCU-preempt read-side critical section.
This is enforced by checking preempt_count() as needed.
Some special cases must be handled on an ad-hoc basis, for example,
context switch is a quiescent state even though both the scheduler and
do_exit() disable preemption. In these cases, additional calls to
rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() override the preemption disabling. Similar
logic overrides disabled interrupts in rcu_preempt_check_callbacks()
because in this case the quiescent state happened just before the
corresponding scheduling-clock interrupt.
In theory, this change lifts a long-standing restriction that required
that if interrupts were disabled across a call to rcu_read_unlock()
that the matching rcu_read_lock() also be contained within that
interrupts-disabled region of code. Because the reporting of the
corresponding RCU-preempt quiescent state is now deferred until
after interrupts have been enabled, it is no longer possible for this
situation to result in deadlocks involving the scheduler's runqueue and
priority-inheritance locks. This may allow some code simplification that
might reduce interrupt latency a bit. Unfortunately, in practice this
would also defer deboosting a low-priority task that had been subjected
to RCU priority boosting, so real-time-response considerations might
well force this restriction to remain in place.
Because RCU-preempt grace periods are now blocked not only by RCU
read-side critical sections, but also by disabling of interrupts,
preemption, and softirqs, it will be possible to eliminate RCU-bh and
RCU-sched in favor of RCU-preempt in CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels. This may
require some additional plumbing to provide the network denial-of-service
guarantees that have been traditionally provided by RCU-bh. Once these
are in place, CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernels will be able to fold RCU-bh
into RCU-sched. This would mean that all kernels would have but
one flavor of RCU, which would open the door to significant code
cleanup.
Moving to a single flavor of RCU would also have the beneficial effect
of reducing the NOCB kthreads by at least a factor of two.

When entering or exiting irq or NMI handlers, the current code uses
->dynticks_nmi_nesting to detect if it is in the outermost handler,
that is, the one interrupting or returning to an RCU-idle context (the
idle loop or nohz_full usermode execution). When entering the outermost
handler via an interrupt (as opposed to NMI), it is necessary to invoke
rcu_dynticks_task_exit() just before the CPU is marked non-idle from an
RCU perspective and to invoke rcu_cleanup_after_idle() just after the
CPU is marked non-idle. Similarly, when exiting the outermost handler
via an interrupt, it is necessary to invoke rcu_prepare_for_idle() just
before marking the CPU idle and to invoke rcu_dynticks_task_enter()
just after marking the CPU idle.
The decision to execute these four functions is currently taken in
rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit() as follows:
rcu_irq_enter()
/* A conditional branch with ->dynticks_nmi_nesting */
rcu_nmi_enter()
/* A conditional branch with ->dynticks */
/* A conditional branch with ->dynticks_nmi_nesting */
rcu_irq_exit()
/* A conditional branch with ->dynticks_nmi_nesting */
rcu_nmi_exit()
/* A conditional branch with ->dynticks_nmi_nesting */
/* A conditional branch with ->dynticks_nmi_nesting */
rcu_nmi_enter()
/* A conditional branch with ->dynticks */
rcu_nmi_exit()
/* A conditional branch with ->dynticks_nmi_nesting */
This works, but the conditional branches in rcu_irq_enter() and
rcu_irq_exit() are redundant with those in rcu_nmi_enter() and
rcu_nmi_exit(), respectively. Redundant branches are not something
we want in the to/from-idle fastpaths, so this commit refactors
rcu_{nmi,irq}_{enter,exit}() so they use a common inlined function passed
a constant argument as follows:
rcu_irq_enter() inlining rcu_nmi_enter_common(irq=true)
/* A conditional branch with ->dynticks */
rcu_irq_exit() inlining rcu_nmi_exit_common(irq=true)
/* A conditional branch with ->dynticks_nmi_nesting */
rcu_nmi_enter() inlining rcu_nmi_enter_common(irq=false)
/* A conditional branch with ->dynticks */
rcu_nmi_exit() inlining rcu_nmi_exit_common(irq=false)
/* A conditional branch with ->dynticks_nmi_nesting */
The combination of the constant function argument and the inlining allows
the compiler to discard the conditionals that previously controlled
execution of rcu_dynticks_task_exit(), rcu_cleanup_after_idle(),
rcu_prepare_for_idle(), and rcu_dynticks_task_enter(). This reduces both
the to-idle and from-idle path lengths by two conditional branches each,
and improves readability as well.
This commit also changes order of execution from this:
rcu_dynticks_task_exit();
rcu_dynticks_eqs_exit();
trace_rcu_dyntick();
rcu_cleanup_after_idle();
To this:
rcu_dynticks_task_exit();
rcu_dynticks_eqs_exit();
rcu_cleanup_after_idle();
trace_rcu_dyntick();
In other words, the calls to rcu_cleanup_after_idle() and
trace_rcu_dyntick() are reversed. This has no functional effect because
the real concern is whether a given call is before or after the call to
rcu_dynticks_eqs_exit(), and this patch does not change that. Before the
call to rcu_dynticks_eqs_exit(), RCU is not yet watching the current
CPU and after that call RCU is watching.
A similar switch in calling order happens on the idle-entry path, with
similar lack of effect for the same reasons.

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.

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

Without special fail-safe quiescent-state-propagation checks, grace-period
hangs can result from the following scenario:
1. CPU 1 goes offline.
2. Because CPU 1 is the only CPU in the system blocking the current
grace period, the grace period ends as soon as
rcu_cleanup_dying_idle_cpu()'s call to rcu_report_qs_rnp()
returns.
3. At this point, the leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock is no longer
held: rcu_report_qs_rnp() has released it, as it must in order
to awaken the RCU grace-period kthread.
4. At this point, that same leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmaskinitnext
field still records CPU 1 as being online. This is absolutely
necessary because the scheduler uses RCU (in this case on the
wake-up path while awakening RCU's grace-period kthread), and
->qsmaskinitnext contains RCU's idea as to which CPUs are online.
Therefore, invoking rcu_report_qs_rnp() after clearing CPU 1's
bit from ->qsmaskinitnext would result in a lockdep-RCU splat
due to RCU being used from an offline CPU.
5. RCU's grace-period kthread awakens, sees that the old grace period
has completed and that a new one is needed. It therefore starts
a new grace period, but because CPU 1's leaf rcu_node structure's
->qsmaskinitnext field still shows CPU 1 as being online, this new
grace period is initialized to wait for a quiescent state from the
now-offline CPU 1.
6. Without the fail-safe force-quiescent-state checks, there would
be no quiescent state from the now-offline CPU 1, which would
eventually result in RCU CPU stall warnings and memory exhaustion.
It would be good to get rid of the special fail-safe quiescent-state
propagation checks, and thus it would be good to fix things so that
the above scenario cannot happen. This commit therefore adds a new
->ofl_lock to the rcu_state structure. This lock is held by rcu_gp_init()
across the applying of buffered online and offline operations to the
rcu_node tree, and it is also held by rcu_cleanup_dying_idle_cpu()
when buffering a new offline operation. This prevents rcu_gp_init()
from acquiring the leaf rcu_node structure's lock during the interval
between when rcu_cleanup_dying_idle_cpu() invokes rcu_report_qs_rnp(),
which releases ->lock and the re-acquisition of that same lock.
This in turn prevents the failure scenario outlined above, and will
hopefully eventually allow removal of the offline-CPU checks from the
force-quiescent-state code path.

Without special fail-safe quiescent-state-propagation checks, grace-period
hangs can result from the following scenario:
1. A task running on a given CPU is preempted in its RCU read-side
critical section.
2. That CPU goes offline, and there are now no online CPUs
corresponding to that CPU's leaf rcu_node structure.
3. The rcu_gp_init() function does the first phase of grace-period
initialization, and sets the aforementioned leaf rcu_node
structure's ->qsmaskinit field to all zeroes. Because there
is a blocked task, it does not propagate the zeroing of either
->qsmaskinit or ->qsmaskinitnext up the rcu_node tree.
4. The task resumes on some other CPU and exits its critical section.
There is no grace period in progress, so the resulting quiescent
state is not reported up the tree.
5. The rcu_gp_init() function does the second phase of grace-period
initialization, which results in the leaf rcu_node structure
being initialized to expect no further quiescent states, but
with that structure's parent expecting a quiescent-state report.
The parent will never receive a quiescent state from this leaf
rcu_node structure, so the grace period will hang, resulting in
RCU CPU stall warnings.
It would be good to get rid of the special fail-safe quiescent-state
propagation checks. This commit therefore checks the leaf rcu_node
structure's ->wait_blkd_tasks field during grace-period initialization.
If this flag is set, the rcu_report_qs_rnp() is invoked to immediately
report the possible quiescent state. While in the neighborhood, this
commit also report quiescent states for any CPUs that went offline between
the two phases of grace-period initialization, thus reducing grace-period
delays and hopefully eventually allowing removal of offline-CPU checks
from the force-quiescent-state code path.

Consider the following sequence of events in a PREEMPT=y kernel:
1. All but one of the CPUs corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node
structure go offline. Each of these CPUs clears its bit in that
structure's ->qsmaskinitnext field.
2. A new grace period starts, and rcu_gp_init() scans the leaf
rcu_node structures, applying CPU-hotplug changes since the
start of the previous grace period, including those changes in
#1 above. This copies each leaf structure's ->qsmaskinitnext
to its ->qsmask field, which represents the CPUs that this new
grace period will wait on. Each copy operation is done holding
the corresponding leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock, and at the
end of this scan, rcu_gp_init() holds no locks.
3. The last CPU corresponding to #1's leaf rcu_node structure goes
offline, clearing its bit in that structure's ->qsmaskinitnext
field, but not touching the ->qsmaskinit field. Note that
rcu_gp_init() is not currently holding any locks! This CPU does
-not- report a quiescent state because the grace period has not
yet initialized itself sufficiently to have set any bits in any
of the leaf rcu_node structures' ->qsmask fields.
4. The rcu_gp_init() function continues initializing the new grace
period, copying each leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmaskinit
field to its ->qsmask field while holding the corresponding ->lock.
This sets the ->qsmask bit corresponding to #3's CPU.
5. Before the grace period ends, #3's CPU comes back online.
Because te grace period has not yet done any force-quiescent-state
scans (which would report a quiescent state on behalf of any
offline CPUs), this CPU's ->qsmask bit is still set.
6. A task running on the newly onlined CPU is preempted while in
an RCU read-side critical section. Because this CPU's ->qsmask
bit is net, not only does this task queue itself on the leaf
rcu_node structure's ->blkd_tasks list, it also sets that
structure's ->gp_tasks pointer to reference it.
7. The grace period started in #1 above comes to an end. This
results in rcu_gp_cleanup() being invoked, which, among other
things, checks to make sure that there are no tasks blocking the
just-ended grace period, that is, that all ->gp_tasks pointers
are NULL. The ->gp_tasks pointer corresponding to the task
preempted in #3 above is non-NULL, which results in a splat.
This splat is a false positive. The task's RCU read-side critical
section cannot have begun before the just-ended grace period because
this would mean either: (1) The CPU came online before the grace period
started, which cannot have happened because the grace period started
before that CPU went offline, or (2) The task started its RCU read-side
critical section on some other CPU, but then it would have had to have
been preempted before migrating to this CPU, which would mean that it
would have instead queued itself on that other CPU's rcu_node structure.
RCU's grace periods thus are working correctly. Or, more accurately,
that remaining bugs in RCU's grace periods are elsewhere.
This commit eliminates this false positive by adding code to the end
of rcu_cpu_starting() that reports a quiescent state to RCU, which has
the side-effect of clearing that CPU's ->qsmask bit, preventing the
above scenario. This approach has the added benefit of more promptly
reporting quiescent states corresponding to offline CPUs. Nevertheless,
this commit does -not- remove the need for the force-quiescent-state
scans to check for offline CPUs, given that a CPU might remain offline
indefinitely. And without the checks in the force-quiescent-state scans,
the grace period would also persist indefinitely, which could result in
hangs or memory exhaustion.
Note well that the call to rcu_report_qs_rnp() reporting the quiescent
state must come -after- the setting of this CPU's bit in the leaf rcu_node
structure's ->qsmaskinitnext field. Otherwise, lockdep-RCU will complain
bitterly about quiescent states coming from an offline CPU.

does its synchronize_rcu() for the last CPU, so at least this
CPU is present in that structure's ->qsmask.
2. Before the grace period ends, a CPU comes back online, and not
just any CPU, but the one corresponding to a non-zero bit in
the leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask.
3. A task running on the newly onlined CPU is preempted while in

have had to have been preempted before migrating to this CPU, which
would mean that it would have instead queued itself on that other CPU's

The rcu_lockdep_current_cpu_online() function currently checks only the
RCU-sched data structures to determine whether or not RCU believes that a
given CPU is offline. Unfortunately, there are multiple flavors of RCU,
which means that there is a short window of time during which the various
flavors disagree as to whether or not a given CPU is offline. This can
result in false-positive lockdep-RCU splats in which some other flavor
of RCU tries to do something based on its view that the CPU is online,
only to get hit with a lockdep-RCU splat because RCU-sched instead
believes that the CPU is offline.
This commit therefore changes rcu_lockdep_current_cpu_online() to scan
all RCU flavors and to consider a given CPU to be online if any of the
RCU flavors believe it to be online, thus preventing these false-positive
splats.

The force_qs_rnp() function checks for ->qsmask being all zero, that is,
all CPUs for the current rcu_node structure having already passed through
quiescent states. But with RCU-preempt, this is not sufficient to report
quiescent states further up the tree, so there are further checks that
can initiate RCU priority boosting and also for races with CPU-hotplug
operations. However, if neither of these further checks apply, the code
proceeds to carry out a useless scan of an all-zero ->qsmask.

Currently, rcu_init_new_rnp() walks up the rcu_node combining tree,
setting bits in the ->qsmaskinit fields on the way up. It walks up
unconditionally, regardless of the initial state of these bits. This is
OK because only the corresponding RCU grace-period kthread ever tests
or sets these bits during runtime. However, it is also pointless, and

Commit 0aa04b055e ("rcu: Process offlining and onlining only at
grace-period start") deferred handling of CPU-hotplug events until the
start of the next grace period, but consider the following sequence
of events:
1. A task is preempted within an RCU-preempt read-side critical
section.
2. The CPU that this task was running on goes offline, along with all
other CPUs sharing the corresponding leaf rcu_node structure.
3. The task resumes execution.
4. One of those CPUs comes back online before a new grace period starts.
In step 2, the code in the next rcu_gp_init() invocation will (correctly)
defer removing the leaf rcu_node structure from the upper-level bitmasks,
and will (correctly) set that structure's ->wait_blkd_tasks field. During
the ensuing interval, RCU will (correctly) track the tasks preempted on
that structure because they must block any subsequent grace period.
In step 3, the code in rcu_read_unlock_special() will (correctly) remove
the task from the leaf rcu_node structure. From this point forward, RCU
need not pay attention to this structure, at least not until one of the
corresponding CPUs comes back online.
In step 4, the code in the next rcu_gp_init() invocation will
(incorrectly) invoke rcu_init_new_rnp(). This is incorrect because
the corresponding rcu_cleanup_dead_rnp() was never invoked. This is
nevertheless harmless because the upper-level bits are still set.
So, no harm, no foul, right?
At least, all is well until a little further into rcu_gp_init()
invocation, which will notice that there are no longer any tasks blocked
on the leaf rcu_node structure, conclude that there is no longer anything
left over from step 2's offline operation, and will therefore invoke
rcu_cleanup_dead_rnp(). But this invocation of rcu_cleanup_dead_rnp()
is for the beginning of the earlier offline interval, and the previous
invocation of rcu_init_new_rnp() is for the end of that same interval.
That is right, they are invoked out of order.
That cannot be good, can it?
It turns out that this is not a (correctness!) problem because
rcu_cleanup_dead_rnp() checks to see if any of the corresponding CPUs
are online, and refuses to do anything if so. In other words, in the
case where rcu_init_new_rnp() and rcu_cleanup_dead_rnp() execute out of
order, they both have no effect.
But this is at best an accident waiting to happen.
This commit therefore adds logic to rcu_gp_init() so that
rcu_init_new_rnp() and rcu_cleanup_dead_rnp() are always invoked in
order, and so that neither are invoked at all in cases where RCU had to
pay attention to the leaf rcu_node structure during the entire time that
all corresponding CPUs were offline.
And, while in the area, this commit reduces confusion by using formal
parameters rather than local variables that just happen to have the same
value at that particular point in the code.

There's no need to keep checking the same starting node for whether a

sufficient if we just checked it in the start, and then subsequently
checked the internal nodes as we advanced up the combining tree. This
also makes sense because the grace-period updates propogate from the

The rcu_data structure's ->gpwrap indicator is currently reset only
when the CPU in question detects a new grace period. This is in theory
sufficient because any CPU that has been out of action for long enough
that its ->gpwrap indicator is set is guaranteed to see both the end
of an old grace period and the start of a new one.
However, the current code leaves a short window during which the ->gpwrap
indicator has been reset but the corresponding ->gp_seq counter has not
yet been brought up to date. This is harmless because interrupts are

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

was already requested. This makes "CleanupMore" show up an extra time (in
addition to once for each rcu_node structure that was previously marked
with the request), and for no good reason. This commit therefore avoids
emitting this trace message unless the the only request for this next
grace period arrived during or after the cleanup scan of the rcu_node
structures.

The old grace-period start code would acquire only the leaf's rcu_node
structure's ->lock if that structure believed that a grace period was
in progress. The new code advances to the leaf's parent in this case,
needlessly acquiring then leaf's parent's ->lock. This commit therefore
checks the grace-period state after marking the leaf with the need for
the specified grace period, and if the leaf believes that a grace period
is in progress, takes an early exit.

Now that the rcu_data structure contains ->gp_seq_needed, create an
rcu_accelerate_cbs_unlocked() helper function that locklessly checks to
see if new callbacks' required grace period has already been requested.
If so, update the callback list locally and again locklessly. (Though
interrupts must be and are disabled to avoid racing with conflicting
updates in interrupt handlers.)
Otherwise, call rcu_accelerate_cbs() as before.

This commit makes rcu_nocb_wait_gp() check rdp->gp_seq_needed to see
if the current CPU already knows about the needed grace period having
already been requested. If so, it avoids acquiring the corresponding
leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock, thus decreasing contention. This
optimization is intended for cases where either multiple leader rcuo
kthreads are running on the same CPU or these kthreads are running on
a non-offloaded (e.g., housekeeping) CPU.

[ paulmck: Move lock release past "if" as suggested by Joel Fernandes. ]
[ paulmck: Fix caching of furthest-future requested grace period. ]
One problem with the ->need_future_gp[] array is that the grace-period
assignment of each element changes as the grace periods complete.
This means that it is necessary to hold a lock when checking this
array to learn if a given grace period has already been requested.
This increase lock contention, which is the opposite of helpful.
This commit therefore replaces the ->need_future_gp[] with a single
->gp_seq_needed value and keeps it updated in the rcu_data structure.
This will enable reliable lockless checking of whether or not a given
grace period has already been requested.

This commit converts the grace-period request code paths from ->completed
and ->gpnum to ->gp_seq. The need_future_gp_element() macro encapsulates
the shift operation required to use ->gp_seq as an index to the
->need_future_gp[] array. The rcu_cbs_completed() function is removed
in favor of the rcu_seq_snap() function. The rcu_start_this_gp()
gets some temporary consistency checks and uses rcu_seq_done(),
rcu_seq_current(), rcu_seq_state(), and rcu_gp_in_progress() in place
of the earlier open-coded comparisons of ->gpnum and ->completed.
The rcu_future_gp_cleanup() function replaces use of ->completed
with ->gp_seq. The rcu_accelerate_cbs() function replaces a call to
rcu_cbs_completed() with one to rcu_seq_snap(). The rcu_advance_cbs()
function replaces an access to >completed with one to ->gp_seq and adds
some temporary warnings. The rcu_nocb_wait_gp() function replaces a
call to rcu_cbs_completed() with one to rcu_seq_snap() and an open-coded
comparison with rcu_seq_done().
The temporary warnings will be removed when the various ->gpnum and
->completed fields are removed. Their purpose is to locate code who
might still be using ->gpnum and ->completed. (Much easier that way
than trying to trace down the causes of too-short grace periods and
grace-period hangs!)

[ paulmck: Reinstate "cpuend: trace as suggested by Joel Fernandes. ]
This commit converts get_state_synchronize_rcu(), cond_synchronize_rcu(),
get_state_synchronize_sched(), and cond_synchronize_sched() from ->gpnum
and ->completed to ->gp_seq. Note that this also introduces a full
memory barrier in the already-done paths off cond_synchronize_rcu() and
cond_synchronize_sched(), as work with LKMM indicates that the earlier
smp_load_acquire() were insufficiently strong in some situations where
these two functions were called just as the grace period ended. In such
cases, these two functions would not gain the benefit of memory ordering
at the end of the grace period.
Please note that the performance impact is negligible, as you shouldn't
be using either function anywhere near a fastpath in any case.

This commit switches the functions reporting quiescent states from
use of ->gpnum to ->gp_seq. In either case, the point is to handle
races where a given grace period ends before a quiescent state can
be reported. Failing to catch these races would result in too-short
grace periods, hence the checking.

and rcuperf uses the _completed variants for statistics.
These functions use ->gpnum and ->completed. This commit therefore

This commit adds grace-period sequence numbers (->gp_seq) to the
rcu_state, rcu_node, and rcu_data structures, and updates them.
It also checks for consistency between rsp->gpnum and rsp->gp_seq.
These ->gp_seq counters will eventually replace the existing ->gpnum
and ->completed counters, allowing a single memory access to determine
whether or not a grace period is in progress and if so, which one.
This in turn will enable changes that will reduce ->lock contention on
the leaf rcu_node structures.

There is a two-jiffy delay between the time that a CPU will self-report
an RCU CPU stall warning and the time that some other CPU will report a
warning on behalf of the first CPU. This has worked well in the past,
but on busy systems, it is possible for the two warnings to overlap,
which makes interpreting them extremely difficult.
This commit therefore uses a cmpxchg-based timing decision that
allows only one report in a given one-minute period (assuming default
stall-warning Kconfig parameters). This approach will of course fail
if you are seeing minute-long vCPU preemption, but in that case the
overlapping RCU CPU stall warnings are the least of your worries.

The x86/mtrr code does horrific things because hardware. It uses
stop_machine_from_inactive_cpu(), which does a wakeup (of the stopper
thread on another CPU), which uses RCU, all before the CPU is onlined.
RCU complains about this, because wakeups use RCU and RCU does
(rightfully) not consider offline CPUs for grace-periods.
Fix this by initializing RCU way early in the MTRR case.
