[PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/12] TINY_RCU changes for 3.11

[Paul E. McKenney]

Hello!

This series removes TINY_PREEMPT_RCU, as promised/threatened at
http://lwn.net/Articles/541037/ and https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/12/545.

1.	Remove TINY_PREEMPT_RCU.  This is a straight syntactic removal,
	with no attempt at cleanup.  The remaining patches do the cleanup.

2.	Inline the now-empty show_tiny_preempt_stats() function.

3.	Inline the now-empty rcu_preempt_check_callbacks() function.

4.	Inline the now-empty rcu_preempt_remove_callbacks() function.

5.	Inline the now-empty rcu_preempt_process_callbacks() function.

6.	Because TINY_RCU no longer has kthreads, remove the code that
	used to abstract away kthread vs. softirq invocation.

7.	Inline the now-empty check_cpu_stall_preempt() function.

8.	Remove CONFIG_TINY_RCU ifdefs from include/linux/rcutiny.h

9.	Inline the now-empty rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() function.

10.	Move code to allow consolidating ifdefs in kernel/rcutiny_plugin.h.

11.	Remove TINY_PREEMPT_RCU's tracing formats from documentation.

12.	Shrink TINY_RCU a bit by moving exit_rcu() to TREE_RCU, leaving
	TINY_RCU with a static inline empty function.

							Thanx, Paul

[PATCH tip/core/rcu 01/12] rcu: Remove TINY_PREEMPT_RCU

[Paul E. McKenney]

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

TINY_PREEMPT_RCU adds significant code and complexity, but does not
offer commensurate benefits.  People currently using TINY_PREEMPT_RCU
can get much better memory footprint with TINY_RCU, or, if they really
need preemptible RCU, they can use TREE_PREEMPT_RCU with a relatively
minor degradation in memory footprint.  Please note that this move
has been widely publicized on LKML (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/12/545)
and on LWN (http://lwn.net/Articles/541037/).

This commit therefore removes TINY_PREEMPT_RCU.

With the removal of CONFIG_TINY_PREEMPT_RCU, show_tiny_preempt_stats()

[PATCH tip/core/rcu 06/12] rcu: Simplify RCU_TINY RCU callback invocation

[Paul E. McKenney]

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

TINY_PREEMPT_RCU could use a kthread to handle RCU callback invocation,
which required an API to abstract kthread vs. softirq invocation.
Now that TINY_PREEMPT_RCU is no longer with us, this commit retires
this API in favor of direct use of the relevant softirq primitives.

-The last three lines of the rcu_preempt section appear only in

+This is split into rcu_sched and rcu_bh sections.  The field is as
+follows:
 
 o	"qlen" is the number of RCU callbacks currently waiting either
 	for an RCU grace period or waiting to be invoked.  This is the
 	only field present for rcu_sched and rcu_bh, due to the
 	short-circuiting of grace period in those two cases.
-
-o	"gp" is the number of grace periods that have completed.
-
-o	"g197/p197/c197" displays the grace-period state, with the
-	"g" number being the number of grace periods that have started
-	(mod 256), the "p" number being the number of grace periods
-	that the CPU has responded to (also mod 256), and the "c"
-	number being the number of grace periods that have completed
-	(once again mode 256).
-
-	Why have both "gp" and "g"?  Because the data flowing into
-	"gp" is only present in a CONFIG_RCU_TRACE kernel.
-
-o	"tasks" is a set of bits.  The first bit is "T" if there are
-	currently tasks that have recently blocked within an RCU
-	read-side critical section, the second bit is "N" if any of the
-	aforementioned tasks are blocking the current RCU grace period,
-	and the third bit is "E" if any of the aforementioned tasks are
-	blocking the current expedited grace period.  Each bit is "."
-	if the corresponding condition does not hold.
-
-o	"ttb" is a single bit.  It is "B" if any of the blocked tasks
-	need to be priority boosted and "." otherwise.
-
-o	"btg" indicates whether boosting has been carried out during
-	the current grace period, with "exp" indicating that boosting
-	is in progress for an expedited grace period, "no" indicating
-	that boosting has not yet started for a normal grace period,
-	"begun" indicating that boosting has bebug for a normal grace
-	period, and "done" indicating that boosting has completed for
-	a normal grace period.
-
-o	"ntb" is the total number of tasks subjected to RCU priority boosting
-	periods since boot.
-
-o	"neb" is the number of expedited grace periods that have had
-	to resort to RCU priority boosting since boot.
-
-o	"nnb" is the number of normal grace periods that have had
-	to resort to RCU priority boosting since boot.
-
-o	"j" is the low-order 16 bits of the jiffies counter in hexadecimal.
-
-o	"bt" is the low-order 16 bits of the value that the jiffies counter
-	will have at the next time that boosting is scheduled to begin.
-
-o	In the line beginning with "normal balk", the fields are as follows:
-
-	o	"nt" is the number of times that the system balked from
-		boosting because there were no blocked tasks to boost.
-		Note that the system will balk from boosting even if the
-		grace period is overdue when the currently running task
-		is looping within an RCU read-side critical section.
-		There is no point in boosting in this case, because
-		boosting a running task won't make it run any faster.
-
-	o	"gt" is the number of times that the system balked
-		from boosting because, although there were blocked tasks,
-		none of them were preventing the current grace period
-		from completing.
-
-	o	"bt" is the number of times that the system balked
-		from boosting because boosting was already in progress.
-
-	o	"b" is the number of times that the system balked from
-		boosting because boosting had already completed for
-		the grace period in question.
-
-	o	"ny" is the number of times that the system balked from
-		boosting because it was not yet time to start boosting
-		the grace period in question.
-
-	o	"nos" is the number of times that the system balked from
-		boosting for inexplicable ("not otherwise specified")
-		reasons.  This can actually happen due to races involving
-		increments of the jiffies counter.
-
-o	In the line beginning with "exp balk", the fields are as follows:
-
-	o	"bt" is the number of times that the system balked from
-		boosting because there were no blocked tasks to boost.

[PATCH tip/core/rcu 12/12] rcu: Shrink TINY_RCU by moving exit_rcu()

[Paul E. McKenney]

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

Now that TINY_PREEMPT_RCU is no more, exit_rcu() is always an empty
function.  But if TINY_RCU is going to have an empty function, it should
be in include/linux/rcutiny.h, where it does not bloat the kernel.
This commit therefore moves exit_rcu() out of kernel/rcupdate.c to
kernel/rcutree_plugin.h, and places a static inline empty function in
include/linux/rcutiny.h in order to shrink TINY_RCU a bit.

I responded to patch 8 with a note about moving part of it to patch 1;
with that changed,
