[PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/9] CPU-hotplug updates for 4.2

[PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/9] CPU-hotplug updates for 4.2

[Paul E. McKenney]

Hello!

The following series improves RCU's handling of CPU hotplug.  It also
contains a couple of ARM placeholder patches in case someone gets caught
out by tighter diagnostics.

1.	Eliminate a HOTPLUG_CPU #ifdef in favor of IS_ENABLED()

2.	Adjust rcu_read_unlock_special()'s acquisition of the
	task's lock to start allowing for the fact that blocked
	tasks are no longer migrated to the root rcu_node structure.
	If the warning does not trigger, a later patch will eliminate
	the loop.

3.	Rmove dead code from force_qs_rnp().

4.	Remove redundant offline check.

5.	Correctly initialize ->rcu_qs_ctr_snap at online time to get the
	code out of its current "working by accident" state.

6.	Move smpboot_unpark_threads() handling into a notifier for
	uniformity.

7.	[Placeholder for ARM64]  Use common code for ARM64 CPU-offline
	notification.

8.	[Placeholder for ARM]  Use common code for ARM CPU-offline
	notification.

9.	Remove extraneous __cpuinit, courtesy of Paul Gortmaker.

							Thanx, Paul

[PATCH tip/core/rcu 1/9] rcu: Eliminate HOTPLUG_CPU #ifdef in favor of IS_ENABLED()

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This commit removes a HOTPLUG_CPU #ifdef, replacing it with
IS_ENABLED()-protected return statements.  This relies on the
optimizer to remove any resulting dead code.

[PATCH tip/core/rcu 2/9] rcu: Adjust ->lock acquisition for tasks no longer migrating

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Tasks are no longer migrated away from a given rcu_node structure
when all CPUs corresponding to that rcu_node structure have gone offline.
This means that rcu_read_unlock_special() no longer needs to loop
retrying rcu_node ->lock acquisition because the current task is
guaranteed to stay put.

This commit takes a small and paranoid step towards relying on this
guarantee by placing a WARN_ON_ONCE() just after the early exit from
the lock-acquisition loop.

[PATCH tip/core/rcu 3/9] rcu: Remove dead code from force_qs_rnp()

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Because force_qs_rnp() is invoked only from the force-quiescent-state
code which runs only in the context of the grace-period kthread, a grace
period must always be in progress throughout force_qs_rnp()'s execution.
This commit therefore removes the rcu_gp_in_progress() check and the
associated dead code.

[PATCH tip/core/rcu 4/9] rcu: Remove redundant offline check

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Because offline CPUs are propagated up the rcu_node tree's ->qsmaskinit
bits just before each grace period starts, the ->qsmaskinit bit cannot
be clear when the corresponding ->qsmask bit is set.  Furthermore, this
condition used to correspond to a CPU that was on its way offline, and
making RCU's notion of an offline CPU more precise has eliminated this
situation.  This commit therefore removes the now-redundant offline
check from force_qs_rnp().

[PATCH tip/core/rcu 5/9] rcu: Correctly initialize ->rcu_qs_ctr_snap at online time

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The rcu_data structure's ->rcu_qs_ctr_snap field is initialized at
CPU-online time from the current CPU's element of the per-CPU rcu_qs_ctr
variable.  Unfortunately, this is at CPU_UP_PREPARE time, so has nothing
to do with the CPU being onlined.  This commit therefore initializes
this variable from the incoming CPU's element of rcu_qs_ctr.

[PATCH tip/core/rcu 6/9] cpu: Handle smpboot_unpark_threads() uniformly

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Commit 00df35f99191 (cpu: Defer smpboot kthread unparking until CPU known
to scheduler) put the online path's call to smpboot_unpark_threads()
into a CPU-hotplug notifier.  This commit places the offline-failure
paths call into the same notifier for the sake of uniformity.

Note that it is not currently possible to place the offline path's call to
smpboot_park_threads() into an existing notifier because the CPU_DYING
notifiers run in a restricted environment, and the CPU_UP_PREPARE
notifiers run too soon.

[PATCH tip/core/rcu 7/9] arm64: Use common outgoing-CPU-notification code

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This commit removes the open-coded CPU-offline notification with new
common code.  In particular, this change avoids calling scheduler code
using RCU from an offline CPU that RCU is ignoring.  This is a minimal
change.  A more intrusive change might invoke the cpu_check_up_prepare()
and cpu_set_state_online() functions at CPU-online time, which would
allow onlining throw an error if the CPU did not go offline properly.

No problem!  In fact, just in time -- I was going to bug you about

Feel free to take it into the arm64 tree.  Just let me know, and I
will drop it from my tree.

[PATCH tip/core/rcu 8/9] arm: Use common outgoing-CPU-notification code

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This commit removes the open-coded CPU-offline notification with new
common code.  In particular, this change avoids calling scheduler code
using RCU from an offline CPU that RCU is ignoring.  This is a minimal
change.  A more intrusive change might invoke the cpu_check_up_prepare()
and cpu_set_state_online() functions at CPU-online time, which would
allow onlining throw an error if the CPU did not go offline properly.

Thanks, this seems to fix the intermittent "suspicious RCU usage" warnings I've
been seeing during suspend to RAM on r8a7791/koelsch, which has a dual-core
Cortex A15:

[PATCH tip/core/rcu 9/9] cpu: Remove new instance of __cpuinit that crept back in

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>

We removed __cpuinit support (leaving no-op stubs) quite some time ago.
However a new instance was added in commit 00df35f991914db6b8bde8cf0980
("cpu: Defer smpboot kthread unparking until CPU known to scheduler")

Since we want to clobber the stubs soon, get this removed now.
