The RCU torture tests currently do not run any Tiny RCU scenarios for
CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD=y. This is a hole in the test, given
that someone might need this in real life and given that Tiny RCU uses
different callback-handling code than does Tree RCU. This commit
therefore enables this Kconfig option for scenario TINY02.

It is because cxt.lwsa and cxt.lrsa don't get freed in module_exit, so free
them in lock_torture_cleanup() and free writer_tasks if reader_tasks is

Because there are no memory barriers between the srcu_flip() ->completed
increment and the summation of the read-side ->unlock_count[] counters,
both the compiler and the CPU can reorder the summation with the
->completed increment. If the updater is preempted long enough during
this process, the read-side counters could overflow, resulting in a
too-short grace period.
This commit therefore adds a memory barrier just after the ->completed
increment, ensuring that if the summation misses an increment of
->unlock_count[] from __srcu_read_unlock(), the next __srcu_read_lock()
will see the new value of ->completed, thus bounding the number of
->unlock_count[] increments that can be missed to NR_CPUS. The actual
overflow computation is more complex due to the possibility of nesting
of __srcu_read_lock().

This commit creates a formal/srcu-cbmc directory containing scripts that
pull SRCU in from the source code, filter it to remove things that CBMC
cannot handle, and run a series of verifications on it. This has a number
of shortcomings:
1. It does not yet hook into the upper-level self-test Makefiles.
2. It tests only a single scenario, store buffering.
3. There is no gcc-based syntax-error prefiltering.
Nevertheless, it does fully verify a piece of SRCU under a moderately
weak memory model (PSO).

If a process invokes synchronize_srcu(), is delayed just the right amount
of time, and thus does not sleep when waiting for the grace period to
complete, there is no ordering between the end of the grace period and
the code following the synchronize_srcu(). Similarly, there can be a
lack of ordering between the end of the SRCU grace period and callback
invocation.
This commit adds the necessary ordering.

SRCU uses two per-cpu counters: a nesting counter to count the number of
active critical sections, and a sequence counter to ensure that the nesting
counters don't change while they are being added together in
srcu_readers_active_idx_check().
This patch instead uses per-cpu lock and unlock counters. Because both
counters only increase and srcu_readers_active_idx_check() reads the unlock
counter before the lock counter, this achieves the same end without having
to increment two different counters in srcu_read_lock(). This also saves a
smp_mb() in srcu_readers_active_idx_check().
Possible bug: There is no guarantee that the lock counter won't overflow
during srcu_readers_active_idx_check(), as there are no memory barriers
around srcu_flip() (see comment in srcu_readers_active_idx_check() for
details). However, this problem was already present before this patch.

It used to be that the rcuo callback-offload kthreads were spawned

While debugging a performance issue I needed to understand why
RCU sofitrqs were firing so frequently.
Unfortunately, the RCU callback tracepoints are hidden behind
CONFIG_RCU_TRACE which defaults to off in the upstream kernel and is
likely to also be disabled in enterprise distribution configs.
Enable it by default for CONFIG_TREE_RCU. However, we must keep it
disabled for tiny RCU, because it would otherwise pull in a large
amount of code that would make tiny RCU less than tiny.
I ran some file system metadata intensive workloads (git checkout,
FS-Mark) on a variety of machines with this patch and saw no
detectable change in performance.

The rcu_cpu_starting() function uses this_cpu_ptr() to locate the
incoming CPU's rcu_data structure. This works for the boot CPU and for
all CPUs onlined after rcu_init() executes (during very early boot).
Currently, this is the full set of CPUs, so all is well. But if
anyone ever parallelizes boot before rcu_init() time, it will fail.
This commit therefore substitutes the rcu_cpu_starting() function's
this_cpu_pointer() for per_cpu_ptr(), future-proofing the code and
(arguably) improving readability.
This commit inadvertently fixes a latent bug: If there ever had been
more than just the boot CPU online at rcu_init() time, the old code
would not initialize the non-boot CPUs, but rather would repeatedly
initialize the boot CPU.

Chris Friesen notice that rcuc/X kthreads were consuming CPU even on
NOCB CPUs. This makes no sense because the only purpose or these
kthreads is to invoke normal (non-offloaded) callbacks, of which there
will never be any on NOCB CPUs. This problem was due to a bug in
cpu_has_callbacks_ready_to_invoke(), which should have been checking
->nxttail[RCU_NEXT_TAIL] for NULL, but which was instead (incorrectly)
checking ->nxttail[RCU_DONE_TAIL]. Because ->nxttail[RCU_DONE_TAIL] is
never NULL, the only effect is to cause the rcuc/X kthread to execute
when it should not do so.
This commit therefore checks ->nxttail[RCU_NEXT_TAIL], which is NULL
for NOCB CPUs.

This commit is for all intents and purposes a revert of bc1dce514e9b
("rcu: Don't use NMIs to dump other CPUs' stacks"). The reason to suppose
that this can now safely be reverted is the presence of 42a0bb3f7138
("printk/nmi: generic solution for safe printk in NMI"), which is said
to have made NMI-based stack dumps safe.
However, this reversion keeps one nice property of bc1dce514e9b
("rcu: Don't use NMIs to dump other CPUs' stacks"), namely that
only those CPUs blocking the grace period are dumped. The new
trigger_single_cpu_backtrace() is used to make this happen, as
suggested by Josh Poimboeuf.

This was inspired by as issue that was fixed by b7e7ade34e61 ("sched/core:

for the current commit to remove this call to resched_cpu().

This commit prepares for the removal of short-term CPU kicking (in a
subsequent commit). It does so by starting to invoke resched_cpu()
for each holdout at each force-quiescent-state interval that is more
than halfway through the stall-warning interval.

The print_other_cpu_stall() function currently unconditionally invokes
rcu_print_detail_task_stall(). This is OK because if there was a stall
sufficient to cause print_other_cpu_stall() to be invoked, that stall
is very likely to persist through the entire print_other_cpu_stall()
execution. However, if the stall did not persist, the variable ndetected
will be zero, and that variable is already tested in an "if" statement.
Therefore, this commit moves the call to rcu_print_detail_task_stall()
under that pre-existing "if" to improve readability, with a very rare
reduction in overhead.

Userspace applications should be allowed to expect the membarrier system
call with MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED command to issue memory barriers on
nohz_full CPUs, but synchronize_sched() does not take those into
account.
Given that we do not want unrelated processes to be able to affect
real-time sensitive nohz_full CPUs, simply return ENOSYS when membarrier
is invoked on a kernel with enabled nohz_full CPUs.

RCU_EXPEDITE_BOOT should speed up the boot process by enforcing
synchronize_rcu_expedited() instead of synchronize_rcu() during the boot
process. There should be no reason why one does not want this and there
is no need worry about real time latency at this point.
Therefore make it default.
Note that users wishing to avoid expediting entirely, for example when
bringing up new hardware possibly having flaky IPIs, can use the
rcu_normal boot parameter to override boot-time expediting.

Commit 4a81e8328d37 ("rcu: Reduce overhead of cond_resched() checks
for RCU") moved quiescent-state generation out of cond_resched()
and commit bde6c3aa9930 ("rcu: Provide cond_resched_rcu_qs() to force
quiescent states in long loops") introduced cond_resched_rcu_qs(), and
commit 5cd37193ce85 ("rcu: Make cond_resched_rcu_qs() apply to normal RCU
flavors") introduced the per-CPU rcu_qs_ctr variable, which is frequently
polled by the RCU core state machine.
This frequent polling can increase grace-period rate, which in turn
increases grace-period overhead, which is visible in some benchmarks
(for example, the "open1" benchmark in Anton Blanchard's "will it scale"
suite). This commit therefore reduces the rate at which rcu_qs_ctr
is polled by moving that polling into the force-quiescent-state (FQS)
machinery, and by further polling it only after the grace period has
been in effect for at least jiffies_till_sched_qs jiffies.

This commit adds design documentation for expedited grace periods.
This documentation is in HTML rather than the new documentation
format because (1) I have prototype documentation already in HTML,
and (2) Attempting to learn the new documentation format while
creating the design documentation seems likely to result in neither
happening in a timely fashion.
Once the design documentation is complete, we can start a conversion effort.

====================
sparc64: Recover from userspace non-resumable PIO & MEM errors
A non-resumable error from userspace is able to cause a kernel panic or trap
loop due to the setup and handling of the queued traps once in the kernel.
This patch series addresses both of these issues.
The queues are fixed by simply zeroing the memory before use.
PIO errors from userspace will result in a SIGBUS being sent to the user
process.
The MEM errors form userspace will result in a SIGKILL and also cause the
offending pages to be claimed so they are no longer used in future tasks.
SIGKILL is used to ensure that the process does not try to coredump and result
in an attempt to read the memory again from within kernel space. Although
there is a HV call to scrub the memory (mem_scrub), there is no easy way to
guarantee that the real memory address(es) are not used by other tasks.
Clearing the error with mem_scrub would zero the memory and cause the other
processes to proceed with bad data.
The handling of other non-resumable errors remain unchanged and will cause a
panic.

User processes trying to access an invalid memory address via PIO will
receive a SIGBUS signal instead of causing a panic. Memory errors will
receive a SIGKILL since a SIGBUS may result in a coredump which may
attempt to repeat the faulting access.

Error queues use a non-zero first word to detect if the queues are full.
Using pages that have not been zeroed may result in false positive
overflow events. These queues are set up once during boot so zeroing
all mondo and error queue pages is safe.
Note that the false positive overflow does not always occur because the
page allocation for these queues is so early in the boot cycle that
higher number CPUs get fresh pages. It is only when traps are serviced
with lower number CPUs who were given already used pages that this issue
is exposed.
