* rcu: Avoid tracing a few functions executed in stop machinePatrick Wang2023-12-081-4/+4

Stop-machine recently started calling additional functions while waiting: ---------------------------------------------------------------- Former stop machine wait loop: do { cpu_relax(); => macro ... } while (curstate != STOPMACHINE_EXIT); ----------------------------------------------------------------- Current stop machine wait loop: do { stop_machine_yield(cpumask); => function (notraced) ... touch_nmi_watchdog(); => function (notraced, inside calls also notraced) ... rcu_momentary_dyntick_idle(); => function (notraced, inside calls traced) } while (curstate != MULTI_STOP_EXIT); ------------------------------------------------------------------ These functions (and the functions that they call) must be marked notrace to prevent them from being updated while they are executing. The consequences of failing to mark these functions can be severe: rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt detected stalls on CPUs/tasks: rcu: 1-...!: (0 ticks this GP) idle=14f/1/0x4000000000000000 softirq=3397/3397 fqs=0 rcu: 3-...!: (0 ticks this GP) idle=ee9/1/0x4000000000000000 softirq=5168/5168 fqs=0 (detected by 0, t=8137 jiffies, g=5889, q=2 ncpus=4) Task dump for CPU 1: task:migration/1 state:R running task stack: 0 pid: 19 ppid: 2 flags:0x00000000 Stopper: multi_cpu_stop+0x0/0x18c <- stop_machine_cpuslocked+0x128/0x174 Call Trace: Task dump for CPU 3: task:migration/3 state:R running task stack: 0 pid: 29 ppid: 2 flags:0x00000000 Stopper: multi_cpu_stop+0x0/0x18c <- stop_machine_cpuslocked+0x128/0x174 Call Trace: rcu: rcu_preempt kthread timer wakeup didn't happen for 8136 jiffies! g5889 f0x0 RCU_GP_WAIT_FQS(5) ->state=0x402 rcu: Possible timer handling issue on cpu=2 timer-softirq=594 rcu: rcu_preempt kthread starved for 8137 jiffies! g5889 f0x0 RCU_GP_WAIT_FQS(5) ->state=0x402 ->cpu=2 rcu: Unless rcu_preempt kthread gets sufficient CPU time, OOM is now expected behavior. rcu: RCU grace-period kthread stack dump: task:rcu_preempt state:I stack: 0 pid: 14 ppid: 2 flags:0x00000000 Call Trace: schedule+0x56/0xc2 schedule_timeout+0x82/0x184 rcu_gp_fqs_loop+0x19a/0x318 rcu_gp_kthread+0x11a/0x140 kthread+0xee/0x118 ret_from_exception+0x0/0x14 rcu: Stack dump where RCU GP kthread last ran: Task dump for CPU 2: task:migration/2 state:R running task stack: 0 pid: 24 ppid: 2 flags:0x00000000 Stopper: multi_cpu_stop+0x0/0x18c <- stop_machine_cpuslocked+0x128/0x174 Call Trace: This commit therefore marks these functions notrace: rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() rcu_preempt_need_deferred_qs() rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore() [ paulmck: Apply feedback from Neeraj Upadhyay. ] Signed-off-by: Patrick Wang <patrick.wang.shcn@gmail.com> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

* rcu: Avoid triggering strict-GP irq-work when RCU is idleZqiang2022-10-261-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [ Upstream commit 621189a1fe93cb2b34d62c5cdb9e258bca044813 ] Kernels built with PREEMPT_RCU=y and RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y trigger irq-work from rcu_read_unlock(), and the resulting irq-work handler invokes rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handle(). The point of this triggering is to force grace periods to end quickly in order to give tools like KASAN a better chance of detecting RCU usage bugs such as leaking RCU-protected pointers out of an RCU read-side critical section. However, this irq-work triggering is unconditional. This works, but there is no point in doing this irq-work unless the current grace period is waiting on the running CPU or task, which is not the common case. After all, in the common case there are many rcu_read_unlock() calls per CPU per grace period. This commit therefore triggers the irq-work only when the current grace period is waiting on the running CPU or task. This change was tested as follows on a four-CPU system: echo rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handler > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/function_profile_enabled insmod rcutorture.ko sleep 20 rmmod rcutorture.ko echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/function_profile_enabled echo > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter This procedure produces results in this per-CPU set of files: /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/function* Sample output from one of these files is as follows: Function Hit Time Avg s^2 -------- --- ---- --- --- rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handle 838746 182650.3 us 0.217 us 0.004 us The baseline sum of the "Hit" values (the number of calls to this function) was 3,319,015. With this commit, that sum was 1,140,359, for a 2.9x reduction. The worst-case variance across the CPUs was less than 25%, so this large effect size is statistically significant.

* rcu: Don't deboost before reporting expedited quiescent statePaul E. McKenney2022-03-281-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 10c535787436d62ea28156a4b91365fd89b5a432 upstream. Currently rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore() releases rnp->boost_mtx before reporting the expedited quiescent state. Under heavy real-time load, this can result in this function being preempted before the quiescent state is reported, which can in turn prevent the expedited grace period from completing. Tim Murray reports that the resulting expedited grace periods can take hundreds of milliseconds and even more than one second, when they should normally complete in less than a millisecond. This was fine given that there were no particular response-time constraints for synchronize_rcu_expedited(), as it was designed for throughput rather than latency. However, some users now need sub-100-millisecond response-time constratints. This patch therefore follows Neeraj's suggestion (seconded by Tim and by Uladzislau Rezki) of simply reversing the two operations.

The PREEMPT_RT locking core: - Scheduler updates to support the state preserving mechanism for 'sleeping' spin- and rwlocks on RT. This mechanism is carefully preserving the state of the task when blocking on a 'sleeping' spin- or rwlock and takes regular wake-ups targeted at the same task into account. The preserved or updated (via a regular wakeup) state is restored when the lock has been acquired. - Restructuring of the rtmutex code so it can be utilized and extended for the RT specific lock variants. - Restructuring of the ww_mutex code to allow sharing of the ww_mutex specific functionality for rtmutex based ww_mutexes. - Header file disentangling to allow substitution of the regular lock implementations with the PREEMPT_RT variants without creating an unmaintainable #ifdef mess. - Shared base code for the PREEMPT_RT specific rw_semaphore and rwlock implementations. Contrary to the regular rw_semaphores and rwlocks the PREEMPT_RT implementation is writer unfair because it is infeasible to do priority inheritance on multiple readers. Experience over the years has shown that real-time workloads are not the typical workloads which are sensitive to writer starvation. The alternative solution would be to allow only a single reader which has been tried and discarded as it is a major bottleneck especially for mmap_sem. Aside of that many of the writer starvation critical usage sites have been converted to a writer side mutex/spinlock and RCU read side protections in the past decade so that the issue is less prominent than it used to be. - The actual rtmutex based lock substitutions for PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels which affect mutex, ww_mutex, rw_semaphore, spinlock_t and rwlock_t. The spin/rw_lock*() functions disable migration across the critical section to preserve the existing semantics vs per-CPU variables. - Rework of the futex REQUEUE_PI mechanism to handle the case of early wake-ups which interleave with a re-queue operation to prevent the situation that a task would be blocked on both the rtmutex associated to the outer futex and the rtmutex based hash bucket spinlock. While this situation cannot happen on !RT enabled kernels the changes make the underlying concurrency problems easier to understand in general. As a result the difference between !RT and RT kernels is reduced to the handling of waiting for the critical section. !RT kernels simply spin-wait as before and RT kernels utilize rcu_wait(). - The substitution of local_lock for PREEMPT_RT with a spinlock which protects the critical section while staying preemptible. The CPU locality is established by disabling migration. The underlying concepts of this code have been in use in PREEMPT_RT for way more than a decade. The code has been refactored several times over the years and this final incarnation has been optimized once again to be as non-intrusive as possible, i.e. the RT specific parts are mostly isolated. It has been extensively tested in the 5.14-rt patch series and it has been verified that !RT kernels are not affected by these changes" * tag 'locking-core-2021-08-30' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (92 commits) locking/rtmutex: Return success on deadlock for ww_mutex waiters locking/rtmutex: Prevent spurious EDEADLK return caused by ww_mutexes locking/rtmutex: Dequeue waiter on ww_mutex deadlock locking/rtmutex: Dont dereference waiter lockless locking/semaphore: Add might_sleep() to down_*() family locking/ww_mutex: Initialize waiter.ww_ctx properly static_call: Update API documentation locking/local_lock: Add PREEMPT_RT support locking/spinlock/rt: Prepare for RT local_lock locking/rtmutex: Add adaptive spinwait mechanism locking/rtmutex: Implement equal priority lock stealing preempt: Adjust PREEMPT_LOCK_OFFSET for RT locking/rtmutex: Prevent lockdep false positive with PI futexes futex: Prevent requeue_pi() lock nesting issue on RT futex: Simplify handle_early_requeue_pi_wakeup() futex: Reorder sanity checks in futex_requeue() futex: Clarify comment in futex_requeue() futex: Restructure futex_requeue() futex: Correct the number of requeued waiters for PI futex: Remove bogus condition for requeue PI ...

However, that was long ago, and much has changed since then, both in terms of hardware and of compilers. Here is data taken on an eight-core laptop using Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-10885H CPU @ 2.40GHz with a kernel built using gcc version 9.3.0, with all data in nanoseconds. Unmarked accesses (status quo), measured by three refscale runs: Minimum reader duration: 3.286 2.851 3.395 Median reader duration: 3.698 3.531 3.4695 Maximum reader duration: 4.481 5.215 5.157 Marked accesses, also measured by three refscale runs: Minimum reader duration: 3.501 3.677 3.580 Median reader duration: 4.053 3.723 3.895 Maximum reader duration: 7.307 4.999 5.511 This focused microbenhmark shows only sub-nanosecond differences which are unlikely to be visible at the system level.

A new RCU_NOCB_WAKE_BYPASS wake level is introduced. As a result, timers perform all kinds of deferred wake ups but other deferred wakeup callsites only handle non-bypass wakeups in order not to wake up rcuo too early. The timer also unconditionally executes a full barrier so as to order timer_pending() and callback enqueue although the path performing RCU_NOCB_WAKE_FORCE that makes use of it is debatable. It should also test against the rdp leader instead of the current rdp. This unconditional full barrier shouldn't bring visible overhead since these timers almost never fire.

If an rdp gets de-offloaded, it will subtlely ignore rcu_nocb_lock() calls and do its job in the timer unsafely. Worse yet: If it gets re-offloaded in the middle of the timer, rcu_nocb_unlock() would try to unlock, leaving it imbalanced. Now that the nocb_bypass_timer doesn't use the nocb_lock anymore, de-offloading the rdp leader is now safe. This commit therefore allows the rdp leader to be de-offloaded. Reported-by: Paul E.

The only difference here is that rdp->qlen_last_fqs_check gets overridden. But resetting the deferred force quiescent state base shouldn't be relevant for that timer. In fact the bypass queue in question can be for any rdp from the group and not necessarily the rdp leader on which the bypass timer is attached. This commit therefore calls __wake_nocb_gp() directly. This way we don't even need to lock the ->nocb_lock.

This approach has many drawbacks, compared to a solution based on a single timer per NOCB group: * There are a lot of timers to maintain. * The per-rdp ->nocb_lock must be held to queue and cancel the timer and this lock can already be heavily contended. * One timer firing doesn't cancel the other timers in the same group: - These other timers can thus cause spurious wakeups - Each rdp that queued a timer must lock both ->nocb_lock and then ->nocb_gp_lock upon exit from the kernel to idle/user/guest mode. * We can't cancel all of them if we detect an unflushed bypass in nocb_gp_wait(). In fact currently we only ever cancel the ->nocb_timer of the leader group. * The leader group's nocb_timer is cancelled without locking ->nocb_lock in nocb_gp_wait(). This currently appears to be safe but is an accident waiting to happen. * Since the timer acquires ->nocb_lock, it requires extra care in the NOCB (de-)offloading process, requiring that it be either enabled or disabled and then flushed. This commit instead uses the rcuog kthread's CPU's ->nocb_timer instead. It is protected by nocb_gp_lock, which is _way_ less contended and remains so even after this change. As a matter of fact, the nocb_timer almost never fires and the deferred wakeup is mostly carried out upon idle/user/guest entry. Now the early check performed at this point in do_nocb_deferred_wakeup() is done on rdp_gp->nocb_defer_wakeup, which is of course racy. However, this raciness is harmless because we only need the guarantee that the timer is queued if we were the last one to queue it. Any other situation (another CPU has queued it and we either see it or not) is fine. This solves all the issues listed above.

| | | * rcu: Make RCU priority boosting work on single-CPU rcu_node structuresPaul E. McKenney2021-05-101-22/+7

Unfortunately, it also verifies that this leaf rcu_node structure actually has at least one online CPU, and if not, it declines to create the kthread. Although this behavior makes sense during early boot, especially on systems that claim far more CPUs than they actually have, it makes no sense for the first CPU to come online for a given rcu_node structure. There is no point in checking because we know there is a CPU on its way in. The problem is that timing differences can cause this incoming CPU to not yet be reflected in the various bit masks even at rcutree_online_cpu() time, and there is no chance at rcutree_prepare_cpu() time. Plus it would be better to create the RCU-boost kthread at rcutree_prepare_cpu() to handle the case where the CPU is involved in an RCU priority inversion very shortly after it comes online. This commit therefore moves the checking to rcu_prepare_kthreads(), which is called only at early boot, when the check is appropriate. In addition, it makes rcutree_prepare_cpu() invoke rcu_spawn_one_boost_kthread(), which no longer does any checking for online CPUs. With this change, RCU priority boosting tests now pass for short rcutorture runs, even with single-CPU leaf rcu_node structures.

| | | | * rcu: Make rcu_read_unlock_special() expedite strict grace periodsPaul E. McKenney2021-03-081-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y, every grace period is an expedited grace period. However, rcu_read_unlock_special() does not treat them that way, instead allowing the deferred quiescent state to be reported whenever. This commit therefore adds a check of this Kconfig option that causes rcu_read_unlock_special() to treat all grace periods as expedited for CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y kernels.

However, with the advent of deferred quiescent states, if the outermost rcu_read_unlock() was invoked with either bottom halves, interrupts, or preemption disabled, the deboosting will be delayed for some time. During this time, a low-priority process might be incorrectly running at a high real-time priority level. Fortunately, rcu_read_unlock_special() already provides mechanisms for forcing a minimal deferral of quiescent states, at least for kernels built with CONFIG_IRQ_WORK=y. These mechanisms are currently used when expedited grace periods are pending that might be blocked by the current task. This commit therefore causes those mechanisms to also be used in cases where the current task has been or might soon be subjected to RCU priority boosting. Note that this applies to all kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y, regardless of whether or not they are also built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y. This approach assumes that kernels build for use with aggressive real-time applications are built with CONFIG_IRQ_WORK=y. It is likely to be far simpler to enable CONFIG_IRQ_WORK=y than to implement a fast-deboosting scheme that works correctly in its absence. While in the area, alphabetize the rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handler() function's local variables.

There are no callbacks queued for any CPU covered by CPU 0-2's ->nocb_gp_kthread. Note that ->nocb_gp_kthread is associated with CPU 0. 2. CPU 1 enqueues its first callback with interrupts disabled, and thus must defer awakening its ->nocb_gp_kthread. It therefore queues its rcu_data structure's ->nocb_timer. At this point, CPU 1's rdp->nocb_defer_wakeup is RCU_NOCB_WAKE. 3. CPU 2, which shares the same ->nocb_gp_kthread, also enqueues a callback, but with interrupts enabled, allowing it to directly awaken the ->nocb_gp_kthread. 4. The newly awakened ->nocb_gp_kthread associates both CPU 1's and CPU 2's callbacks with a future grace period and arranges for that grace period to be started. 5. This ->nocb_gp_kthread goes to sleep waiting for the end of this future grace period. 6. This grace period elapses before the CPU 1's timer fires. This is normally improbably given that the timer is set for only one jiffy, but timers can be delayed. Besides, it is possible that kernel was built with CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y. 7. The grace period ends, so rcu_gp_kthread awakens the ->nocb_gp_kthread, which in turn awakens both CPU 1's and CPU 2's ->nocb_cb_kthread. Then ->nocb_gb_kthread sleeps waiting for more newly queued callbacks. 8. CPU 1's ->nocb_cb_kthread invokes its callback, then sleeps waiting for more invocable callbacks. 9. Note that neither kthread updated any ->nocb_timer state, so CPU 1's ->nocb_defer_wakeup is still set to RCU_NOCB_WAKE. 10. CPU 1 enqueues its second callback, this time with interrupts enabled so it can wake directly ->nocb_gp_kthread. It does so with calling wake_nocb_gp() which also cancels the pending timer that got queued in step 2. But that doesn't reset CPU 1's ->nocb_defer_wakeup which is still set to RCU_NOCB_WAKE. So CPU 1's ->nocb_defer_wakeup and its ->nocb_timer are now desynchronized. 11. ->nocb_gp_kthread associates the callback queued in 10 with a new grace period, arranges for that grace period to start and sleeps waiting for it to complete. 12. The grace period ends, rcu_gp_kthread awakens ->nocb_gp_kthread, which in turn wakes up CPU 1's ->nocb_cb_kthread which then invokes the callback queued in 10. 13. CPU 1 enqueues its third callback, this time with interrupts disabled so it must queue a timer for a deferred wakeup. However the value of its ->nocb_defer_wakeup is RCU_NOCB_WAKE which incorrectly indicates that a timer is already queued. Instead, CPU 1's ->nocb_timer was cancelled in 10. CPU 1 therefore fails to queue the ->nocb_timer. 14. CPU 1 has its pending callback and it may go unnoticed until some other CPU ever wakes up ->nocb_gp_kthread or CPU 1 ever calls an explicit deferred wakeup, for example, during idle entry. This commit fixes this bug by resetting rdp->nocb_defer_wakeup everytime we delete the ->nocb_timer. It is quite possible that there is a similar scenario involving ->nocb_bypass_timer and ->nocb_defer_wakeup. However, despite some effort from several people, a failure scenario has not yet been located. However, that by no means guarantees that no such scenario exists. Finding a failure scenario is left as an exercise for the reader, and the "Fixes:" tag below relates to ->nocb_bypass_timer instead of ->nocb_timer.

It also makes little sense to offload an offline CPU because any pending RCU callbacks were migrated when that CPU went offline. Yes, it is in theory possible to use a number of tricks to permit offloading and deoffloading offline CPUs in certain cases, but in practice it is far better to have the simple and deterministic rule "Toggling the offload state of an offline CPU is forbidden". For but one example, consider that an offloaded offline CPU might have millions of callbacks queued. Best to just say "no". This commit therefore forbids toggling of the offloaded state of offline CPUs. Reported-by: Paul E.

We must either hold the barrier mutex, the cpu-hotplug lock (read or write) or the nocb lock. Local non-preemptible reads are also safe. NOCB kthreads and timers have their own means of synchronization against the offloaded state updaters.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because preemptible RCU's __rcu_read_unlock() is an external function, the rough equivalent of an implicit barrier() is inserted by the compiler. Except that there is a direct call to __rcu_read_unlock() in that same file, and compilers are getting to the point where they might choose to inline the fastpath of the __rcu_read_unlock() function. This commit therefore adds an explicit barrier() to the very beginning of __rcu_read_unlock(). Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the core bitmap support now accepting "N" as a placeholder for the end of the bitmap, "all" can be represented as "0-N" and has the advantage of not being specific to RCU (or any other subsystem). So deprecate the use of "all" by removing documentation references to it. The support itself needs to remain for now, since we don't know how many people out there are using it currently, but since it is in an __init area anyway, it isn't worth losing sleep over.

There's also the /debug/sched_debug switch to do this runtime. This feature is implemented via runtime patching (a new variant of static calls). The scope of the runtime patching can be best reviewed by looking at the sched_dynamic_update() function in kernel/sched/core.c. ( Note that the dynamic none/voluntary mode isn't 100% identical, for example preempt-RCU is available in all cases, plus the preempt count is maintained in all models, which has runtime overhead even with the code patching. ) The PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY/PREEMPT_NONE models, used by the vast majority of distributions, are supposed to be unaffected. - Fix ignored rescheduling after rcu_eqs_enter(). This is a bug that was found via rcutorture triggering a hang. The bug is that rcu_idle_enter() may wake up a NOCB kthread, but this happens after the last generic need_resched() check. Some cpuidle drivers fix it by chance but many others don't. In true 2020 fashion the original bug fix has grown into a 5-patch scheduler/RCU fix series plus another 16 RCU patches to address the underlying issue of missed preemption events. These are the initial fixes that should fix current incarnations of the bug. - Clean up rbtree usage in the scheduler, by providing & using the following consistent set of rbtree APIs: partial-order; less() based: - rb_add(): add a new entry to the rbtree - rb_add_cached(): like rb_add(), but for a rb_root_cached total-order; cmp() based: - rb_find(): find an entry in an rbtree - rb_find_add(): find an entry, and add if not found - rb_find_first(): find the first (leftmost) matching entry - rb_next_match(): continue from rb_find_first() - rb_for_each(): iterate a sub-tree using the previous two - Improve the SMP/NUMA load-balancer: scan for an idle sibling in a single pass. This is a 4-commit series where each commit improves one aspect of the idle sibling scan logic. - Improve the cpufreq cooling driver by getting the effective CPU utilization metrics from the scheduler - Improve the fair scheduler's active load-balancing logic by reducing the number of active LB attempts & lengthen the load-balancing interval. This improves stress-ng mmapfork performance. - Fix CFS's estimated utilization (util_est) calculation bug that can result in too high utilization values Misc updates & fixes: - Fix the HRTICK reprogramming & optimization feature - Fix SCHED_SOFTIRQ raising race & warning in the CPU offlining code - Reduce dl_add_task_root_domain() overhead - Fix uprobes refcount bug - Process pending softirqs in flush_smp_call_function_from_idle() - Clean up task priority related defines, remove *USER_*PRIO and USER_PRIO() - Simplify the sched_init_numa() deduplication sort - Documentation updates - Fix EAS bug in update_misfit_status(), which degraded the quality of energy-balancing - Smaller cleanups" * tag 'sched-core-2021-02-17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (51 commits) sched,x86: Allow !PREEMPT_DYNAMIC entry/kvm: Explicitly flush pending rcuog wakeup before last rescheduling point entry: Explicitly flush pending rcuog wakeup before last rescheduling point rcu/nocb: Trigger self-IPI on late deferred wake up before user resume rcu/nocb: Perform deferred wake up before last idle's need_resched() check rcu: Pull deferred rcuog wake up to rcu_eqs_enter() callers sched/features: Distinguish between NORMAL and DEADLINE hrtick sched/features: Fix hrtick reprogramming sched/deadline: Reduce rq lock contention in dl_add_task_root_domain() uprobes: (Re)add missing get_uprobe() in __find_uprobe() smp: Process pending softirqs in flush_smp_call_function_from_idle() sched: Harden PREEMPT_DYNAMIC static_call: Allow module use without exposing static_call_key sched: Add /debug/sched_preempt preempt/dynamic: Support dynamic preempt with preempt= boot option preempt/dynamic: Provide irqentry_exit_cond_resched() static call preempt/dynamic: Provide preempt_schedule[_notrace]() static calls preempt/dynamic: Provide cond_resched() and might_resched() static calls preempt: Introduce CONFIG_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC static_call: Provide DEFINE_STATIC_CALL_RET0() ...

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Entering RCU idle mode may cause a deferred wake up of an RCU NOCB_GP kthread (rcuog) to be serviced. Unfortunately the call to rcu_user_enter() is already past the last rescheduling opportunity before we resume to userspace or to guest mode. We may escape there with the woken task ignored. The ultimate resort to fix every callsites is to trigger a self-IPI (nohz_full depends on arch to implement arch_irq_work_raise()) that will trigger a reschedule on IRQ tail or guest exit. Eventually every site that want a saner treatment will need to carefully place a call to rcu_nocb_flush_deferred_wakeup() before the last explicit need_resched() check upon resume.

| * rcu/nocb: Perform deferred wake up before last idle's need_resched() checkFrederic Weisbecker2021-02-171-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Entering RCU idle mode may cause a deferred wake up of an RCU NOCB_GP kthread (rcuog) to be serviced. Usually a local wake up happening while running the idle task is handled in one of the need_resched() checks carefully placed within the idle loop that can break to the scheduler. Unfortunately the call to rcu_idle_enter() is already beyond the last generic need_resched() check and we may halt the CPU with a resched request unhandled, leaving the task hanging. Fix this with splitting the rcuog wakeup handling from rcu_idle_enter() and place it before the last generic need_resched() check in the idle loop. It is then assumed that no call to call_rcu() will be performed after that in the idle loop until the CPU is put in low power mode.
