This commit therefore strips the fixups down to their minimal form, eliminating two of the three. It would be even better if (for example) call_rcu() simply leaked any problematic callbacks, but for that to happen, the debug-objects system would need to inform its caller of suspicious situations.

* | rcu: Add const annotation to char * for RCU tracepoints and functionsSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2013-07-291-1/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All the RCU tracepoints and functions that reference char pointers do so with just 'char *' even though they do not modify the contents of the string itself. This will cause warnings if a const char * is used in one of these functions. The RCU tracepoints store the pointer to the string to refer back to them when the trace output is displayed. As this can be minutes, hours or even days later, those strings had better be constant. This change also opens the door to allow the RCU tracepoint strings and their addresses to be exported so that userspace tracing tools can translate the contents of the pointers of the RCU tracepoints.

* rcu: Make exit_rcu() more precise and consolidatePaul E. McKenney2012-05-021-0/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When running preemptible RCU, if a task exits in an RCU read-side critical section having blocked within that same RCU read-side critical section, the task must be removed from the list of tasks blocking a grace period (perhaps the current grace period, perhaps the next grace period, depending on timing). The exit() path invokes exit_rcu() to do this cleanup. However, the current implementation of exit_rcu() needlessly does the cleanup even if the task did not block within the current RCU read-side critical section, which wastes time and needlessly increases the size of the state space. Fix this by only doing the cleanup if the current task is actually on the list of tasks blocking some grace period. While we are at it, consolidate the two identical exit_rcu() functions into a single function. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Although it is legal to use RCU during early boot, it is anything but legal to use RCU at runtime from an offlined CPU. After all, RCU explicitly ignores offlined CPUs. This commit therefore adds checks for runtime use of RCU from offlined CPUs. These checks are not perfect, in particular, they can be subverted through use of things like rcu_dereference_raw(). Note that it is not possible to put checks in rcu_read_lock() and friends due to the fact that these primitives are used in code that might be used under either RCU or lock-based protection, which means that checking rcu_read_lock() gets you fat piles of false positives.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Report that none of the rcu read lock maps are held while in an RCU extended quiescent state (the section between rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit()). This helps detect any use of rcu_dereference() and friends from within the section in idle where RCU is not allowed. This way we can guarantee an extended quiescent window where the CPU can be put in dyntick idle mode or can simply aoid to be part of any global grace period completion while in the idle loop. Uses of RCU from such mode are totally ignored by RCU, hence the importance of these checks. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Paul E.

Changelog since v4: - Bissectability is now OK - Now generate a WARN_ON_ONCE() for non-initialized rcu_head passed to call_rcu(). Statically initialized objects are detected with object_is_static(). - Rename rcu_head_init_on_stack to init_rcu_head_on_stack. - Remove init_rcu_head() completely. Changelog since v3: - Include comments from Lai Jiangshan This new patch version is based on the debugobjects with the newly introduced "active state" tracker. Non-initialized entries are all considered as "statically initialized". An activation fixup (triggered by call_rcu()) takes care of performing the debug object initialization without issuing any warning. Since we cannot increase the size of struct rcu_head, I don't see much room to put an identifier for statically initialized rcu_head structures. So for now, we have to live without "activation without explicit init" detection. But the main purpose of this debug option is to detect double-activations (double call_rcu() use of a rcu_head before the callback is executed), which is correctly addressed here. This also detects potential internal RCU callback corruption, which would cause the callbacks to be executed twice. Signed-off-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> CC: David S.

* rcu: Introduce lockdep-based checking to RCU read-side primitivesPaul E. McKenney2010-02-251-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Inspection is proving insufficient to catch all RCU misuses, which is understandable given that rcu_dereference() might be protected by any of four different flavors of RCU (RCU, RCU-bh, RCU-sched, and SRCU), and might also/instead be protected by any of a number of locking primitives. It is therefore time to enlist the aid of lockdep. This set of patches is inspired by earlier work by Peter Zijlstra and Thomas Gleixner, and takes the following approach: o Set up separate lockdep classes for RCU, RCU-bh, and RCU-sched. o Set up separate lockdep classes for each instance of SRCU. o Create primitives that check for being in an RCU read-side critical section. These return exact answers if lockdep is fully enabled, but if unsure, report being in an RCU read-side critical section. (We want to avoid false positives!) The primitives are: For RCU: rcu_read_lock_held(void) For RCU-bh: rcu_read_lock_bh_held(void) For RCU-sched: rcu_read_lock_sched_held(void) For SRCU: srcu_read_lock_held(struct srcu_struct *sp) o Add rcu_dereference_check(), which takes a second argument in which one places a boolean expression based on the above primitives and/or lockdep_is_held(). o A new kernel configuration parameter, CONFIG_PROVE_RCU, enables rcu_dereference_check(). This depends on CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING, and should be quite helpful during the transition period while CONFIG_PROVE_RCU-unaware patches are in flight. The existing rcu_dereference() primitive does no checking, but upcoming patches will change that. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

* rcu: "Tiny RCU", The Bloatwatch EditionPaul E. McKenney2009-10-261-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is a version of RCU designed for !SMP provided for a small-footprint RCU implementation. In particular, the implementation of synchronize_rcu() is extremely lightweight and high performance. It passes rcutorture testing in each of the four relevant configurations (combinations of NO_HZ and PREEMPT) on x86. This saves about 1K bytes compared to old Classic RCU (which is no longer in mainline), and more than three kilobytes compared to Hierarchical RCU (updated to 2.6.30): CONFIG_TREE_RCU: text data bss dec filename 183 4 0 187 kernel/rcupdate.o 2783 520 36 3339 kernel/rcutree.o 3526 Total (vs 4565 for v7) CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU: text data bss dec filename 263 4 0 267 kernel/rcupdate.o 4594 776 52 5422 kernel/rcutree.o 5689 Total (6155 for v7) CONFIG_TINY_RCU: text data bss dec filename 96 4 0 100 kernel/rcupdate.o 734 24 0 758 kernel/rcutiny.o 858 Total (vs 848 for v7) The above is for x86. Your mileage may vary on other platforms. Further compression is possible, but is being procrastinated. Changes from v7 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/10/9/388) o Apply Lai Jiangshan's review comments (aside from might_sleep() in synchronize_sched(), which is covered by SMP builds). o Fix up expedited primitives. Changes from v6 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/9/23/293). o Forward ported to put it into the 2.6.33 stream. o Added lockdep support. o Make lightweight rcu_barrier. Changes from v5 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/23/12). o Ported to latest pre-2.6.32 merge window kernel. - Renamed rcu_qsctr_inc() to rcu_sched_qs(). - Renamed rcu_bh_qsctr_inc() to rcu_bh_qs(). - Provided trivial rcu_cpu_notify(). - Provided trivial exit_rcu(). - Provided trivial rcu_needs_cpu(). - Fixed up the rcu_*_enter/exit() functions in linux/hardirq.h. o Removed the dependence on EMBEDDED, with a view to making TINY_RCU default for !SMP at some time in the future. o Added (trivial) support for expedited grace periods. Changes from v4 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/5/2/91) include: o Squeeze the size down a bit further by removing the ->completed field from struct rcu_ctrlblk. o This permits synchronize_rcu() to become the empty function. Previous concerns about rcutorture were unfounded, as rcutorture correctly handles a constant value from rcu_batches_completed() and rcu_batches_completed_bh(). Changes from v3 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/29/221) include: o Changed rcu_batches_completed(), rcu_batches_completed_bh() rcu_enter_nohz(), rcu_exit_nohz(), rcu_nmi_enter(), and rcu_nmi_exit(), to be static inlines, as suggested by David Howells. Doing this saves about 100 bytes from rcutiny.o. (The numbers between v3 and this v4 of the patch are not directly comparable, since they are against different versions of Linux.) Changes from v2 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/2/3/333) include: o Fix whitespace issues. o Change short-circuit "||" operator to instead be "+" in order to fix performance bug noted by "kraai" on LWN. (http://lwn.net/Articles/324348/) Changes from v1 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/13/440) include: o This version depends on EMBEDDED as well as !SMP, as suggested by Ingo. o Updated rcu_needs_cpu() to unconditionally return zero, permitting the CPU to enter dynticks-idle mode at any time. This works because callbacks can be invoked upon entry to dynticks-idle mode. o Paul is now OK with this being included, based on a poll at the Kernel Miniconf at linux.conf.au, where about ten people said that they cared about saving 900 bytes on single-CPU systems. o Applies to both mainline and tip/core/rcu.
