Currently, a call to schedule() acts as a Tasks RCU quiescent state
only if a context switch actually takes place. However, just the
call to schedule() guarantees that the calling task has moved off of
whatever tracing trampoline that it might have been one previously.
This commit therefore plumbs schedule()'s "preempt" parameter into
rcu_note_context_switch(), which then records the Tasks RCU quiescent
state, but only if this call to schedule() was -not- due to a preemption.
To avoid adding overhead to the common-case context-switch path,
this commit hides the rcu_note_context_switch() check under an existing
non-common-case check.

Although Tree SRCU does reduce delays when there is at least one
synchronize_srcu_expedited() invocation pending, srcu_schedule_cbs_snp()
still waits for SRCU_INTERVAL before invoking callbacks. Since
synchronize_srcu_expedited() now posts a callback and waits for
that callback to do a wakeup, this destroys the expedited nature of
synchronize_srcu_expedited(). This destruction became apparent to
Marc Zyngier in the guise of a guest-OS bootup slowdown from five
seconds to no fewer than forty seconds.
This commit therefore invokes callbacks immediately at the end of the
grace period when there is at least one synchronize_srcu_expedited()
invocation pending. This brought Marc's guest-OS bootup times back
into the realm of reason.

Peter Zijlstra proposed using SRCU to reduce mmap_sem contention [1,2],
however, there are workloads that could result in a high volume of
concurrent invocations of call_srcu(), which with current SRCU would
result in excessive lock contention on the srcu_struct structure's
->queue_lock, which protects SRCU's callback lists. This commit therefore
moves SRCU to per-CPU callback lists, thus greatly reducing contention.
Because a given SRCU instance no longer has a single centralized callback
list, starting grace periods and invoking callbacks are both more complex
than in the single-list Classic SRCU implementation. Starting grace
periods and handling callbacks are now handled using an srcu_node tree
that is in some ways similar to the rcu_node trees used by RCU-bh,
RCU-preempt, and RCU-sched (for example, the srcu_node tree shape is
controlled by exactly the same Kconfig options and boot parameters that
control the shape of the rcu_node tree).
In addition, the old per-CPU srcu_array structure is now named srcu_data
and contains an rcu_segcblist structure named ->srcu_cblist for its
callbacks (and a spinlock to protect this). The srcu_struct gets
an srcu_gp_seq that is used to associate callback segments with the
corresponding completion-time grace-period number. These completion-time
grace-period numbers are propagated up the srcu_node tree so that the
grace-period workqueue handler can determine whether additional grace
periods are needed on the one hand and where to look for callbacks that
are ready to be invoked.
The srcu_barrier() function must now wait on all instances of the per-CPU
->srcu_cblist. Because each ->srcu_cblist is protected by ->lock,
srcu_barrier() can remotely add the needed callbacks. In theory,
it could also remotely start grace periods, but in practice doing so
is complex and racy. And interestingly enough, it is never necessary
for srcu_barrier() to start a grace period because srcu_barrier() only
enqueues a callback when a callback is already present--and it turns out
that a grace period has to have already been started for this pre-existing
callback. Furthermore, it is only the callback that srcu_barrier()
needs to wait on, not any particular grace period. Therefore, a new
rcu_segcblist_entrain() function enqueues the srcu_barrier() function's
callback into the same segment occupied by the last pre-existing callback
in the list. The special case where all the pre-existing callbacks are
on a different list (because they are in the process of being invoked)
is handled by enqueuing srcu_barrier()'s callback into the RCU_DONE_TAIL
segment, relying on the done-callbacks check that takes place after all
callbacks are inovked.
Note that the readers use the same algorithm as before. Note that there
is a separate srcu_idx that tells the readers what counter to increment.
This unfortunately cannot be combined with srcu_gp_seq because they
need to be incremented at different times.
This commit introduces some ugly #ifdefs in rcutorture. These will go
away when I feel good enough about Tree SRCU to ditch Classic SRCU.
Some crude performance comparisons, courtesy of a quickly hacked rcuperf
asynchronous-grace-period capability:
Callback Queuing Overhead
-------------------------
# CPUS Classic SRCU Tree SRCU
------ ------------ ---------
2 0.349 us 0.342 us
16 31.66 us 0.4 us
41 --------- 0.417 us
The times are the 90th percentiles, a statistic that was chosen to reject
the overheads of the occasional srcu_barrier() call needed to avoid OOMing
the test machine. The rcuperf test hangs when running Classic SRCU at 41
CPUs, hence the line of dashes. Despite the hacks to both the rcuperf code
and that statistics, this is a convincing demonstration of Tree SRCU's
performance and scalability advantages.

Parallelizing SRCU callback handling will increase the size of
srcu_struct, which will move the kvm structure's kvm_arch field out
of reach of powerpc's current assembly code, which will result in the
following sort of build error:
arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S:617: Error: operand out of range (0x000000000000b328 is not between 0xffffffffffff8000 and 0x0000000000007fff)
This commit moves the srcu_struct fields in the kvm structure to follow
the kvm_arch field, which will allow powerpc's assembly code to continue
to be able to reach the kvm_arch field.

The TREE_SRCU rewrite is large and a bit on the non-simple side, so
this commit helps reduce risk by allowing the old v4.11 SRCU algorithm
to be selected using a new CLASSIC_SRCU Kconfig option that depends
on RCU_EXPERT. The default is to use the new TREE_SRCU and TINY_SRCU
algorithms, in order to help get these the testing that they need.
However, if your users do not require the update-side scalability that
is to be provided by TREE_SRCU, select RCU_EXPERT and then CLASSIC_SRCU
to revert back to the old classic SRCU algorithm.

The MM-notifier code currently dynamically initializes the srcu_struct
named "srcu" at subsys_initcall() time, and includes a BUG_ON() to check
this initialization in do_mmu_notifier_register(). Unfortunately, there
is no foolproof way to verify that an srcu_struct has been initialized,
given the possibility of an srcu_struct being allocated on the stack or
on the heap. This means that creating an srcu_struct_is_initialized()
function is not a reasonable course of action. Nor is peppering
do_mmu_notifier_register() with SRCU-specific #ifdefs an attractive
alternative.
This commit therefore uses DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU() to initialize
this srcu_struct at compile time, thus eliminating both the
subsys_initcall()-time initialization and the runtime BUG_ON().

SRCU's implementation of expedited grace periods has always assumed
that the SRCU instance is idle when the expedited request arrives.
This commit improves this a bit by maintaining a count of the number
of outstanding expedited requests, thus allowing prior non-expedited
grace periods accommodate these requests by shifting to expedited mode.
However, any non-expedited wait already in progress will still wait for
the full duration.
Improved control of expedited grace periods is planned, but one step
at a time.

The expedited grace-period code contains several open-coded shifts
know the format of an rcu_seq grace-period counter, which is not
particularly good style. This commit therefore creates a new
rcu_seq_ctr() function that extracts the counter portion of the
counter, and an rcu_seq_state() function that extracts the low-order
state bit. This commit prepares for SRCU callback parallelization,
which will require two state bits.

This commit moves the C preprocessor code that defines the default shape
of the rcu_node combining tree to a new include/linux/rcu_node_tree.h
file as a first step towards enabling SRCU to create its own combining
tree, which in turn enables SRCU to implement per-CPU callback handling,
thus avoiding contention on the lock currently guarding the single list
of callbacks. Note that users of SRCU still need to know the size of
the srcu_struct structure, hence include/linux rather than kernel/rcu.

The current SRCU grace-period processing might never reach the last
portion of srcu_advance_batches(). This is OK given the current
implementation, as the first portion, up to the try_check_zero()
following the srcu_flip() is sufficient to drive grace periods forward.
However, it has the unfortunate side-effect of making it impossible to
determine when a given grace period has ended, and it will be necessary
to efficiently trace ends of grace periods in order to efficiently handle
per-CPU SRCU callback lists.
This commit therefore adds states to the SRCU grace-period processing,
so that the end of a given SRCU grace period is marked by the transition
to the SRCU_STATE_DONE state.

This commit simplifies the SRCU state machine by pushing the

This commit is a step towards numbering callbacks in order to

The rcu_seq_end() function increments seq signifying completion
of a grace period, after that checks that the seq is even and wakes
_synchronize_rcu_expedited(). The _synchronize_rcu_expedited() function
uses wait_event() to wait for even seq. The problem is that wait_event()
can return as soon as seq becomes even without waiting for the wakeup.
In such case the warning in rcu_seq_end() can falsely fire if the next
expedited grace period starts before the check.
Check that seq has good value before incrementing it.

Expedited grace periods use workqueue handlers that wake up the requesters,
but there is no lock mediating this wakeup. Therefore, memory barriers
are required to ensure that the handler's memory references are seen by
all to occur before synchronize_*_expedited() returns to its caller.

RCU has only one multi-tail callback list, which is implemented via
the nxtlist, nxttail, nxtcompleted, qlen_lazy, and qlen fields in the
rcu_data structure, and whose operations are open-code throughout the
Tree RCU implementation. This has been more or less OK in the past,
but upcoming callback-list optimizations in SRCU could really use
a multi-tail callback list there as well.
This commit therefore abstracts the multi-tail callback list handling
into a new kernel/rcu/rcu_segcblist.h file, and uses this new API.
The simple head-and-tail pointer callback list is also abstracted and
applied everywhere except for the NOCB callback-offload lists. (Yes,
the plan is to apply them there as well, but this commit is already
bigger than would be good.)

and 64 on 64-bit systems. This can result in excessive lock contention.
This commit therefore changes the computation of the leaf-level rcu_node
tree fanout so that the result will be 16 unless an explicit Kconfig or
kernel-boot setting says otherwise.

The rcu_all_qs() and rcu_note_context_switch() do a series of checks,
taking various actions to supply RCU with quiescent states, depending
on the outcomes of the various checks. This is a bit much for scheduling
fastpaths, so this commit creates a separate ->rcu_urgent_qs field in
the rcu_dynticks structure that acts as a global guard for these checks.
Thus, in the common case, rcu_all_qs() and rcu_note_context_switch()
check the ->rcu_urgent_qs field, find it false, and simply return.

The rcu_momentary_dyntick_idle() function scans the RCU flavors, checking
that one of them still needs a quiescent state before doing an expensive
atomic operation on the ->dynticks counter. However, this check reduces
overhead only after a rare race condition, and increases complexity. This
commit therefore removes the scan and the mechanism enabling the scan.

The current use of "RCU_TRACE(statement);" can cause odd bugs, especially
where "statement" is a local-variable declaration, as it can leave a

Users of SRCU are obliged to complete all grace-period activity before
invoking cleanup_srcu_struct(). This means that all calls to either
synchronize_srcu() or synchronize_srcu_expedited() must have returned,
and all calls to call_srcu() must have returned, and the last call to
call_srcu() must have been followed by a call to srcu_barrier().
Furthermore, the caller must have done something to prevent any
further calls to synchronize_srcu(), synchronize_srcu_expedited(),
and call_srcu().
Therefore, if there has ever been an invocation of call_srcu() on
the srcu_struct in question, the sequence of events must be as
follows:
1. Prevent any further calls to call_srcu().
2. Wait for any pre-existing call_srcu() invocations to return.
3. Invoke srcu_barrier().
4. It is now safe to invoke cleanup_srcu_struct().
On the other hand, if there has ever been a call to synchronize_srcu()
or synchronize_srcu_expedited(), the sequence of events must be as
follows:
1. Prevent any further calls to synchronize_srcu() or
synchronize_srcu_expedited().
2. Wait for any pre-existing synchronize_srcu() or
synchronize_srcu_expedited() invocations to return.
3. It is now safe to invoke cleanup_srcu_struct().
If there have been calls to all both types of functions (call_srcu()
and either of synchronize_srcu() and synchronize_srcu_expedited()), then
the caller must do the first three steps of the call_srcu() procedure
above and the first two steps of the synchronize_s*() procedure above,
and only then invoke cleanup_srcu_struct().
Note that cleanup_srcu_struct() does some probabilistic checks
for the caller failing to follow these procedures, in which case
cleanup_srcu_struct() does WARN_ON() and avoids freeing the per-CPU
structures associated with the specified srcu_struct structure.

The srcu_reschedule() function invokes rcu_batch_empty() on each of
the four rcu_batch structures in the srcu_struct in question twice.
Given that this check will also be needed in cleanup_srcu_struct(), this
commit consolidates these four checks into a new rcu_all_batches_empty()
function.

The definition of smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() is currently smp_mb()
for CONFIG_PPC and a no-op otherwise. It would be better to instead
provide an architecture-selectable Kconfig option, and select the
strength of smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() based on that option. This
commit therefore creates ARCH_WEAK_RELEASE_ACQUIRE, has PPC select it,
and bases the definition of smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() on this new
ARCH_WEAK_RELEASE_ACQUIRE Kconfig option.

Currently, IPIs are used to force other CPUs to invalidate their TLBs
in response to a kernel virtual-memory mapping change. This works, but
degrades both battery lifetime (for idle CPUs) and real-time response
(for nohz_full CPUs), and in addition results in unnecessary IPIs due to
the fact that CPUs executing in usermode are unaffected by stale kernel
mappings. It would be better to cause a CPU executing in usermode to
wait until it is entering kernel mode to do the flush, first to avoid
interrupting usemode tasks and second to handle multiple flush requests
with a single flush in the case of a long-running user task.
This commit therefore reserves a bit at the bottom of the ->dynticks
counter, which is checked upon exit from extended quiescent states.
If it is set, it is cleared and then a new rcu_eqs_special_exit() macro is
invoked, which, if not supplied, is an empty single-pass do-while loop.
If this bottom bit is set on -entry- to an extended quiescent state,
then a WARN_ON_ONCE() triggers.
This bottom bit may be set using a new rcu_eqs_special_set() function,
which returns true if the bit was set, or false if the CPU turned
out to not be in an extended quiescent state. Please note that this
function refuses to set the bit for a non-nohz_full CPU when that CPU
is executing in usermode because usermode execution is tracked by RCU
as a dyntick-idle extended quiescent state only for nohz_full CPUs.

Currently, the rcutorture scripting will give an error message if
running a duplicate scenario that happens also to have a non-existent
build directory (b1, b2, ... in the rcutorture directory). Worse yet, if
the build directory has already been created and used for a real build,
the script will silently grab the wrong Kconfig fragment, which could
cause confusion to the poor sap (me) analyzing old test results. At
least the actual test runs correctly...
This commit therefore accesses the Kconfig fragment from the results
directory corresponding to the first of the duplicate scenarios, for
which a build was actually carried out. This prevents both the messages
and at least one form of later confusion.

sparse is unhappy about this code in hlist_add_tail_rcu:
struct hlist_node *i, *last = NULL;
for (i = hlist_first_rcu(h); i; i = hlist_next_rcu(i))
last = i;
This is because hlist_next_rcu and hlist_next_rcu return
__rcu pointers.
It's a false positive - it's a write side primitive and so
does not need to be called in a read side critical section.
The following trivial patch disables the warning
without changing the behaviour in any way.
Note: __hlist_for_each_rcu would also remove the warning but it would be
confusing since it calls rcu_derefence and is designed to run in the rcu
read side critical section.

If you set RCU_FANOUT_LEAF too high, you can get lock contention
on the leaf rcu_node, and you should boot with the skew_tick kernel

this.
