[PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/12] Miscellaneous RCU fixes for 4.8

[Paul E. McKenney]

Hello!

This series contains miscellaneous fixes:

1.	Fix outdated rcu_scheduler_active comment.

2.	Fix outdated hotplug-exclusion comment in rcu_gp_init().

3.	Remove some superfluous lines, courtesy of Peter Zijlstra.

4.	Move expedited code from tree.c to tree_exp.h.

5.	Move expedited code from tree_plugin.h to tree_exp.h.

6.	Document RCU_NONIDLE() restrictions in comment header.

7.	No ordering for rcu_assign_pointer() of NULL.

8.	Disable TASKS_RCU for usermode Linux in preparation for
	making call_rcu_tasks() tolerate being invoked with interrupts
	disabled.

9.	Make call_rcu_tasks() tolerate first call with irqs disabled.

10.	Fix a typo in a comment.

11.	Panic on RCU Stall at user's option, courtesy of Daniel Bristot
	de Oliveira.

12.	Correctly handle sparse possible cpus, courtesy of Mark Rutland.

							Thanx, Paul

[PATCH tip/core/rcu 01/12] rcu: Fix outdated rcu_scheduler_active comment

[Paul E. McKenney]

The comment header for rcu_scheduler_active states that it is used
to optimize synchronize_sched() at early boot.  This is incorrect.
The synchronize_sched() function instead checks the number of online
CPUs.  This commit therefore replaces the comment's synchronize_sched()
with synchronize_rcu(), which really does use rcu_scheduler_active for
this purpose.

[PATCH tip/core/rcu 02/12] rcu: Fix outdated hotplug-exclusion comment in rcu_gp_init()

[Paul E. McKenney]

In the past, RCU grace-period initialization excluded CPU-hotplug
operations, but this is no longer the case.  This commit therefore
removed an outdated comment in rcu_gp_init() claiming that these
are excluded.

[PATCH tip/core/rcu 03/12] rcu: Remove some superfluous lines

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

I think you'll find this condition is superfluous, as the whole function
is under #ifdef of that same.

[PATCH tip/core/rcu 04/12] rcu: Move expedited code from tree.c to tree_exp.h

[Paul E. McKenney]

People have been having some difficulty finding their way around the
RCU code.  This commit therefore pulls some of the expedited grace-period
code from tree.c to a new tree_exp.h file.  This commit is strictly code
movement, with the exception of a forward declaration that was added
for the sync_sched_exp_online_cleanup() function.

A subsequent commit will move the remaining expedited grace-period code
from tree_plugin.h to tree_exp.h.

[PATCH tip/core/rcu 05/12] rcu: Move expedited code from tree_plugin.h to tree_exp.h

[Paul E. McKenney]

People have been having some difficulty finding their way around the
RCU code.  This commit therefore pulls some of the expedited grace-period
code from tree_plugin.h to a new tree_exp.h file.  This commit is strictly
code movement.

[PATCH tip/core/rcu 08/12] rcu: Disable TASKS_RCU for usermode Linux

[Paul E. McKenney]

Usermode Linux currently does not implement arch_irqs_disabled_flags(),
which results in a build failure in TASKS_RCU.  Therefore, this commit
disables the TASKS_RCU Kconfig option in usermode Linux builds.  The
usermode Linux maintainers expect to merge arch_irqs_disabled_flags()
into 4.8, at which point this commit may be reverted.

[PATCH tip/core/rcu 09/12] rcu: Make call_rcu_tasks() tolerate first call with irqs disabled

[Paul E. McKenney]

Currently, if the very first call to call_rcu_tasks() has irqs disabled,
it will create the rcu_tasks_kthread with irqs disabled, which will
result in a splat in the memory allocator, which kthread_run() invokes
with the expectation that irqs are enabled.

This commit fixes this problem by deferring kthread creation if called
with irqs disabled.  The first call to call_rcu_tasks() that has irqs
enabled will create the kthread.

This bug was detected by rcutorture changes that were motivated by
Iftekhar Ahmed's mutation-testing efforts.

[PATCH tip/core/rcu 11/12] rcu: sysctl: Panic on RCU Stall

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira <bristot@redhat.com>

It is not always easy to determine the cause of an RCU stall just by
analysing the RCU stall messages, mainly when the problem is caused
by the indirect starvation of rcu threads. For example, when preempt_rcu
is not awakened due to the starvation of a timer softirq.

We have been hard coding panic() in the RCU stall functions for
some time while testing the kernel-rt. But this is not possible in
some scenarios, like when supporting customers.

This patch implements the sysctl kernel.panic_on_rcu_stall. If
set to 1, the system will panic() when an RCU stall takes place,
enabling the capture of a vmcore. The vmcore provides a way to analyze
all kernel/tasks states, helping out to point to the culprit and the
solution for the stall.

The kernel.panic_on_rcu_stall sysctl is disabled by default.

Changes from v1:
- Fixed a typo in the git log
- The if(sysctl_panic_on_rcu_stall) panic() is in a static function
- Fixed the CONFIG_TINY_RCU compilation issue
- The var sysctl_panic_on_rcu_stall is now __read_mostly

[PATCH tip/core/rcu 12/12] rcu: Correctly handle sparse possible cpus

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com>

In many cases in the RCU tree code, we iterate over the set of cpus for
a leaf node described by rcu_node::grplo and rcu_node::grphi, checking
per-cpu data for each cpu in this range. However, if the set of possible
cpus is sparse, some cpus described in this range are not possible, and
thus no per-cpu region will have been allocated (or initialised) for
them by the generic percpu code.

Erroneous accesses to a per-cpu area for these !possible cpus may fault
or may hit other data depending on the addressed generated when the
erroneous per cpu offset is applied. In practice, both cases have been
observed on arm64 hardware (the former being silent, but detectable with
additional patches).

To avoid issues resulting from this, we must iterate over the set of
*possible* cpus for a given leaf node. This patch add a new helper,
for_each_leaf_node_possible_cpu, to enable this. As iteration is often
intertwined with rcu_node local bitmask manipulation, a new
leaf_node_cpu_bit helper is added to make this simpler and more
consistent. The RCU tree code is made to use both of these where
appropriate.

Without this patch, running reboot at a shell can result in an oops
like:

Can we pretty please right align the '\'s ?

Also, didn't we used to do this and then reverted it again for some
obscure reason?

Part of the problem for me is always the fact that its so weirdly
divided over these files. Now you're making that worse. How is this
helping?

This seems entirely unrelated; albeit desired given that other patch.

Seems fragile. What if someone manages to only use call_rcu_tasks() with
IRQs disabled?

The expedited stuff is now in one place rather than being split across
two different files.

There was indeed a compiler bug long ago that could generate spurious
warnings:

> What changed since then? And can we now pretty please get rid of that
> RCU_INIT_POINTER() nonsense?

Five years has passed, the structure of rcu_assign_pointer() has
completely changed, and someone asked for the old behavior.  Seemed
worth a try, given the very visible nature of the gcc complaint.

No complaints thus far, but then again there probably aren't that
many people running -rcu.  That said, I am encouraged by the lack
of reports from the 0day test robot.

If this goes in and there aren't any problems for some time, then
I agree that shrinking the RCU API would be worthwhile.  My idea of
"some time" is about a year, given that it would be a real pain to
push a bunch of changes throughout the kernel only to have to revert
them if the old compiler bug managed to crop up again.  :-/

Yikes!

As you probably guessed, this was my test case for rcu_assign_pointer(NULL),
and I clearly failed to clean up after myself.  It turns out that more than
30 few rcu_assign_pointer(NULL) instances have been added in the meantime,
several of which look to be in popular core code.  So some testing will
happen.

But if you would like to have your code to also participate in this testing
effort, here is that patch standalone.

It would have to have users before that could possibly happen.  :-/
And it would not be hard to remove the fragility if needed by setting
up a workqueue, possibly mediated by a timer or whatever.  But it is
hard to motivate myself to do so in advance of users.  For that matter...

Steven, is call_rcu_tasks() needed, or should I just rip it out?

I've always wondered why you chose to only have a header file instead
of the traditional x.h/x.c split for declarations and
definitions(looking at tree_plugin.h). Is there any particular reason
for this?

I didn't want to worry about function-call overhead, and doing it this
way allowed inlining.  Perhaps if link-time optimizations end up being
used heavily, I should go to the usual .h/.c split.
