07a22b6194 Revert "printk: add functions to prefer direct printing"
This reverts commit 2bb2b7b57f.

The testing of 5.19 release candidates revealed missing synchronization
between early and regular console functionality.

It would be possible to start the console kthreads later as a workaround.
But it is clear that console lock serialized console drivers between
each other. It opens a big area of possible problems that were not
considered by people involved in the development and review.

printk() is crucial for debugging kernel issues and console output is
very important part of it. The number of consoles is huge and a proper
review would take some time. As a result it need to be reverted for 5.19.

44d35720c9 sysctl changes for v5.19-rc1
For two kernel releases now kernel/sysctl.c has been being cleaned up
 slowly, since the tables were grossly long, sprinkled with tons of #ifdefs and
 all this caused merge conflicts with one susbystem or another.
 
 This tree was put together to help try to avoid conflicts with these cleanups
 going on different trees at time. So nothing exciting on this pull request,
 just cleanups.
 
 I actually had this sysctl-next tree up since v5.18 but I missed sending a
 pull request for it on time during the last merge window. And so these changes
 have been being soaking up on sysctl-next and so linux-next for a while.
 The last change was merged May 4th.
 
 Most of the compile issues were reported by 0day and fixed.
 
 To help avoid a conflict with bpf folks at Daniel Borkmann's request
 I merged bpf-next/pr/bpf-sysctl into sysctl-next to get the effor which
 moves the BPF sysctls from kernel/sysctl.c to BPF core.
 
 Possible merge conflicts and known resolutions as per linux-next:

Merge tag 'printk-for-5.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

 - Offload writing printk() messages on consoles to per-console
   kthreads.

   It prevents soft-lockups when an extensive amount of messages is
   printed. It was observed, for example, during boot of large systems
   with a lot of peripherals like disks or network interfaces.

   It prevents live-lockups that were observed, for example, when
   messages about allocation failures were reported and a CPU handled
   consoles instead of reclaiming the memory. It was hard to solve even
   with rate limiting because it would need to take into account the
   amount of messages and the speed of all consoles.

   It is a must to have for real time. Otherwise, any printk() might
   break latency guarantees.

   The per-console kthreads allow to handle each console on its own
   speed. Slow consoles do not longer slow down faster ones. And
   printk() does not longer unpredictably slows down various code paths.

   There are situations when the kthreads are either not available or
   not reliable, for example, early boot, suspend, or panic. In these
   situations, printk() uses the legacy mode and tries to handle
   consoles immediately.

 - Add documentation for the printk index.

9621fbee44 rcu: Move expedited grace period (GP) work to RT kthread_worker
Enabling CONFIG_RCU_BOOST did not reduce RCU expedited grace-period
latency because its workqueues run at SCHED_OTHER, and thus can be
delayed by normal processes.  This commit avoids these delays by moving
the expedited GP work items to a real-time-priority kthread_worker.

This option is controlled by CONFIG_RCU_EXP_KTHREAD and disabled by
default on PREEMPT_RT=y kernels which disable expedited grace periods
after boot by unconditionally setting rcupdate.rcu_normal_after_boot=1.

The results were evaluated on arm64 Android devices (6GB ram) running
5.10 kernel, and capturing trace data in critical user-level code.

The table below shows the resulting order-of-magnitude improvements
in synchronize_rcu_expedited() latency:

28b3ae4265 rcu: Introduce CONFIG_RCU_EXP_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT
Currently both expedited and regular grace period stall warnings use
a single timeout value that with units of seconds.  However, recent
Android use cases problem require a sub-100-millisecond expedited RCU CPU
stall warning.  Given that expedited RCU grace periods normally complete
in far less than a single millisecond, especially for small systems,
this is not unreasonable.

Therefore introduce the CONFIG_RCU_EXP_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT kernel
configuration that defaults to 20 msec on Android and remains the same
as that of the non-expedited stall warnings otherwise.  It also can be
changed in run-time via: /sys/.../parameters/rcu_exp_cpu_stall_timeout.

586e31d59c srcu: Drop needless initialization of sdp in srcu_gp_start()
Commit 9c7ef4c30f12 ("srcu: Make Tree SRCU able to operate without
snp_node array") initializes the local variable sdp differently depending
on the srcu's state in srcu_gp_start().  Either way, this initialization
overwrites the value used when sdp is defined.

This commit therefore drops this pointless definition-time initialization.
Although there is no functional change, compiler code generation may
be affected.

282d8998e9 srcu: Prevent expedited GPs and blocking readers from consuming CPU
If an SRCU reader blocks while a synchronize_srcu_expedited() waits for
that same reader, then that grace period will spawn an endless series of
workqueue handlers, consuming a full CPU.  This quickly gets pointless
because consuming more CPU isn't going to make that reader get done
faster, especially if it is blocked waiting for an external event.

This commit therefore spawns at most one pair of back-to-back workqueue
handlers per expedited grace period phase, instead inserting increasing
delays as that grace period phase grows older, but capped at 10 jiffies.
In any case, if there have been at least 100 back-to-back workqueue
handlers within a single jiffy, regardless of grace period or grace-period
phase, then a one-jiffy delay is inserted.

2bb2b7b57f printk: add functions to prefer direct printing
Once kthread printing is available, console printing will no longer
occur in the context of the printk caller. However, there are some
special contexts where it is desirable for the printk caller to
directly print out kernel messages. Using pr_flush() to wait for
threaded printers is only possible if the caller is in a sleepable
context and the kthreads are active. That is not always the case.

Introduce printk_prefer_direct_enter() and printk_prefer_direct_exit()
functions to explicitly (and globally) activate/deactivate preferred
direct console printing. The term "direct console printing" refers to
printing to all enabled consoles from the context of the printk
caller. The term "prefer" is used because this type of printing is
only best effort. If the console is currently locked or other
printers are already actively printing, the printk caller will need
to rely on the other contexts to handle the printing.

This preferred direct printing is how all printing has been handled
until now (unless it was explicitly deferred).

When kthread printing is introduced, there may be some unanticipated
problems due to kthreads being unable to flush important messages.
In order to minimize such risks, preferred direct printing is
activated for the primary important messages when the system
experiences general types of major errors. These are:

 - emergency reboot/shutdown
 - cpu and rcu stalls
 - hard and soft lockups
 - hung tasks
 - warn
 - sysrq

Note that since kthread printing does not yet exist, no behavior
changes result from this commit. This is only implementing the
counter and marking the various places where preferred direct
printing is active.

However, there is a need to select CONFIG_TASKS_RUDE_RCU for testing

questions -- for them, this needs to be fully automated.  There is
thus a CONFIG_FORCE_TASKS_RUDE_RCU that selects CONFIG_TASKS_RUDE_RCU,
is user-selectable, but which depends on CONFIG_RCU_EXPERT.

3b6e1dd423 rcutorture: Allow rcutorture without RCU Tasks
Currently, a CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y kernel substitutes normal RCU for
RCU Tasks.  Unless that kernel builds rcutorture, whether built-in or as
a module, in which case RCU Tasks is (unnecessarily) used.  This both
increases kernel size and increases the complexity of certain tracing
operations.  This commit therefore decouples the presence of rcutorture
from the presence of RCU Tasks.

However, there is a need to select CONFIG_TASKS_RCU for testing purposes.
Except that casual users must not be bothered with questions -- for them,
this needs to be fully automated.  There is thus a CONFIG_FORCE_TASKS_RCU
that selects CONFIG_TASKS_RCU, is user-selectable, but which depends
on CONFIG_RCU_EXPERT.

835f14ed53 rcu: Make the TASKS_RCU Kconfig option be selected
Currently, any kernel built with CONFIG_PREEMPTION=y also gets
CONFIG_TASKS_RCU=y, which is not helpful to people trying to build
preemptible kernels of minimal size.

Because CONFIG_TASKS_RCU=y is needed only in kernels doing tracing of
one form or another, this commit moves from TASKS_RCU deciding when it
should be enabled to the tracing Kconfig options explicitly selecting it.
This allows building preemptible kernels without TASKS_RCU, if desired.

This commit also updates the SRCU-N and TREE09 rcutorture scenarios
in order to avoid Kconfig errors that would otherwise result from
CONFIG_TASKS_RCU being selected without its CONFIG_RCU_EXPERT dependency
being met.

f596e2ce1c rcu: Use IRQ_WORK_INIT_HARD() to avoid rcu_read_unlock() hangs
When booting kernels built with both CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y
and CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y, the rcu_read_unlock_special() function's
invocation of irq_work_queue_on() the init_irq_work() causes the
rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handler() function to work execute in SCHED_FIFO
irq_work kthreads.  Because rcu_read_unlock_special() is invoked on each
rcu_read_unlock() in such kernels, the amount of work just keeps piling
up, resulting in a boot-time hang.

This commit therefore avoids this hang by using IRQ_WORK_INIT_HARD()
instead of init_irq_work(), but only in kernels built with both
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y and CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y.

f1efe84d6f rcu_sync: Fix comment to properly reflect rcu_sync_exit() behavior
The rcu_sync_enter() function is used by updaters to force RCU readers
(e.g. percpu-rwsem) to use their slow paths during an update.  This is
accomplished by setting the ->gp_state of the rcu_sync structure to
GP_ENTER.  In the case of percpu-rwsem, the readers' slow path waits on
a semaphore instead of just incrementing a reader count.  Each updater
invokes the rcu_sync_exit() function to signal to readers that they
may again take their fastpaths.  The rcu_sync_exit() function sets the
->gp_state of the rcu_sync structure to GP_EXIT, and if all goes well,
after a grace period the ->gp_state reverts back to GP_IDLE.

Unfortunately, the rcu_sync_enter() function currently has a comment
incorrectly stating that rcu_sync_exit() (by an updater) will re-enable
reader "slowpaths".  This patch changes the comment to state that this
function re-enables reader fastpaths.

70ae7b0ce0 rcu: Fix preemption mode check on synchronize_rcu[_expedited]()
An early check on synchronize_rcu[_expedited]() tries to determine if
the current CPU is in UP mode on an SMP no-preempt kernel, in which case
there is no need to start a grace period since the current assumed
quiescent state is all we need.

However the preemption mode doesn't take into account the boot selected
preemption mode under CONFIG_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC=y, missing a possible
early return if the running flavour is "none" or "voluntary".

Use the shiny new preempt mode accessors to fix this.  However,
avoid invoking them during early boot because doing so triggers a
WARN_ON_ONCE().

90d2efe7bd rcu: Fix rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore() strict QS reporting
Suppose we have a kernel built with both CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y
and CONFIG_PREEMPT=y.  Suppose further that an RCU reader from which RCU
core needs a quiescent state ends in rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore().
This function will then invoke rcu_report_qs_rdp() in order to immediately
report that quiescent state.  Unfortunately, it will not have cleared
that reader's CPU's rcu_data structure's ->cpu_no_qs.b.norm field.
As a result, rcu_report_qs_rdp() will take an early exit because it
will believe that this CPU has not yet encountered a quiescent state,
and there will be no reporting of the current quiescent state.

This commit therefore causes rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore() to

80dcee6951 rcutorture: Add missing return and use __func__ in warning
The rcutorture module has an rcu_torture_writer task that repeatedly
performs writes, synchronizations, and deletes. There is a corner-case
check in rcu_torture_writer() wherein if nsynctypes is 0, a warning is
issued and the task waits to be stopped via a call to
torture_kthread_stopping() rather than performing any work.

There should be a return statement following this call to
torture_kthread_stopping(), as the intention with issuing the call to
torture_kthread_stopping() in the first place is to avoid the
rcu_torture_writer task from performing any work. Some of the work may even
be dangerous to perform, such as potentially causing a #DE due to
nsynctypes being used in a modulo operator when querying for sync updates
to issue.

This patch adds the missing return call.  As a bonus, it also fixes a
checkpatch warning that was emitted due to the WARN_ONCE() call using the
name of the function rather than __func__.

39b3cab92d rcutorture: Avoid corner-case #DE with nsynctypes check
The rcutorture module is used to run torture tests that validate RCU.
rcutorture takes a variety of module parameters that configure the
functionality of the test. Amongst these parameters are the types of
synchronization mechanisms that the rcu_torture_writer and
rcu_torture_fakewriter tasks may use, and the torture_type of the run which
determines what read and sync operations are used by the various writer and
reader tasks that run throughout the test.

When the module is configured to only use sync types for which the
specified torture_type does not implement the necessary operations, we can
end up in a state where nsynctypes is 0. This is not an erroneous state,
but it currently crashes the kernel with a #DE due to nsynctypes being used
with a modulo operator in rcu_torture_fakewriter().

Here is an example of such a #DE:

$ insmod ./rcutorture.ko gp_cond=1 gp_cond_exp=0 gp_exp=0 gp_poll_exp=0
gp_normal=0 gp_poll=0 gp_poll_exp=0 verbose=9999 torture_type=trivial

Tree RCU supports grace-period delays using the rcutree.gp_cleanup_delay,

proven quite effective at exposing bugs involving race with CPU-hotplug

used in conjunction with callback flooding, for example, those generated

If the cpu_possible_mask is sparse (for example, if bits are set only for

this search must pass through CPUs not represented in cpu_possible_mask,

07d95c34e8 rcu-tasks: Handle sparse cpu_possible_mask
If the rcupdate.rcu_task_enqueue_lim kernel boot parameter is set to
something greater than 1 and less than nr_cpu_ids, the code attempts to
use a subset of the CPU's RCU Tasks callback lists.  This works, but only
if the cpu_possible_mask is contiguous.  If there are "holes" in this
mask, the callback-enqueue code might attempt to access a non-existent
per-CPU ->rtcpu variable for a non-existent CPU.  For example, if only
CPUs 0, 4, 8, 12, 16 and so on are in cpu_possible_mask, specifying
rcupdate.rcu_task_enqueue_lim=4 would cause the code to attempt to
use callback queues for non-existent CPUs 1, 2, and 3.  Because such
systems have existed in the past and might still exist, the code needs
to gracefully handle this situation.

This commit therefore checks to see whether the desired CPU is present
in cpu_possible_mask, and, if not, searches for the next CPU.  This means
that the systems administrator of a system with a sparse cpu_possible_mask
will need to account for this sparsity when specifying the value of
the rcupdate.rcu_task_enqueue_lim kernel boot parameter.  For example,
setting this parameter to the value 4 will use only CPUs 0 and 4, which
CPU 4 getting three times the callback load of CPU 0.

This commit assumes that bit (nr_cpu_ids - 1) is always set in
cpu_possible_mask.

777570d9ef rcu-tasks: Use schedule_hrtimeout_range() to wait for grace periods
The synchronous RCU-tasks grace-period-wait primitives invoke
schedule_timeout_idle() to give readers a chance to exit their
read-side critical sections.  Unfortunately, this fails during early
boot on PREEMPT_RT because PREEMPT_RT relies solely on ksoftirqd to run
timer handlers.  Because ksoftirqd cannot operate until its kthreads
are spawned, there is a brief period of time following scheduler
initialization where PREEMPT_RT cannot run the timer handlers that
schedule_timeout_idle() relies on, resulting in a hang.

To avoid this boot-time hang, this commit replaces schedule_timeout_idle()
with schedule_hrtimeout(), so that the timer expires in hardirq context.
This is ensures that the timer fires even on PREEMPT_RT throughout the
irqs-enabled portions of boot as well as during runtime.

The timer is set to expire between fract and fract + HZ / 2 jiffies in
order to align with any other timers that might expire during that time,
thus reducing the number of wakeups.

Note that RCU-tasks grace periods are infrequent, so the use of hrtimer
should be fine.  In contrast, in common-case code, user of hrtimer
could result in performance issues.

This commit therefore enlists the aid of the scheduler-clock interrupt to

These should avoid being classified as errors, but should give impatient

defines the initial delay in jiffies (defaulting to 10 seconds) and the
latter defines the multiplier (defaulting to 3).  Thus, by default, the
first message will appear 10 seconds into the RCU-tasks grace period,
the second 40 seconds in, and the third 160 seconds in.  There would be
a fourth at 640 seconds in, but the stall warning message appears 600
seconds in, and once a stall warning is printed for a given grace period,
no further informational messages are printed.

This commit therefore fixes this issue by applying a single-CPU
optimization to the RCU Tasks Rude grace-period process.  The key point
here is that the purpose of this RCU flavor is to force a schedule on
each online CPU since some past event.  But the rcu_tasks_rude_wait_gp()
function runs in the context of the RCU Tasks Rude's grace-period kthread,
so there must already have been a context switch on the current CPU since
the call to either synchronize_rcu_tasks_rude() or call_rcu_tasks_rude().
So if there is only a single CPU online, RCU Tasks Rude's grace-period
kthread does not need to anything at all.

It turns out that the rcu_tasks_rude_wait_gp() function's call to
schedule_on_each_cpu() causes problems during early boot.  During that
time, there is only one online CPU, namely the boot CPU.  Therefore,
applying this single-CPU optimization fixes early-boot instances of
this problem.

87c5adf06b rcu/nocb: Initialize nocb kthreads only for boot CPU prior SMP initialization
The rcu_spawn_gp_kthread() function is called as an early initcall, which
means that SMP initialization hasn't happened yet and only the boot CPU is
online. Therefore, create only the NOCB kthreads related to the boot CPU.

2eed973adc rcu: Assume rcu_init() is called before smp
The rcu_init() function is called way before SMP is initialized and
therefore only the boot CPU should be online at this stage.

Simplify the boot per-cpu initialization accordingly.

9f2e91d94c srcu: Add contention-triggered addition of srcu_node tree
This commit instruments the acquisitions of the srcu_struct structure's
->lock, enabling the initiation of a transition from SRCU_SIZE_SMALL
to SRCU_SIZE_BIG when sufficient contention is experienced.  The
instrumentation counts the number of trylock failures within the confines
of a single jiffy.  If that number exceeds the value specified by the
srcutree.small_contention_lim kernel boot parameter (which defaults to
100), and if the value specified by the srcutree.convert_to_big kernel
boot parameter has the 0x10 bit set (defaults to 0), then a transition
will be automatically initiated.

By default, there will never be any transitions, so that none of the
srcu_struct structures ever gains an srcu_node array.

The useful values for srcutree.convert_to_big are:

0x00:  Never convert.
0x01:  Always convert at init_srcu_struct() time.
0x02:  Convert when rcutorture prints its first round of statistics.
0x03:  Decide conversion approach at boot given system size.
0x10:  Convert if contention is encountered.
0x12:  Convert if contention is encountered or when rcutorture prints
        its first round of statistics, whichever comes first.

The value 0x11 acts the same as 0x01 because the conversion happens
before there is any chance of contention.

99659f64b1 srcu: Create concurrency-safe helper for initiating size transition
Once there are contention-initiated size transitions, it will be
possible for rcutorture to initiate a transition at the same time
as a contention-initiated transition.  This commit therefore creates
a concurrency-safe helper function named srcu_transition_to_big() to
safely initiate size transitions.
