The state space of the GP sequence number isn't documented and the
definitions of its special values are scattered. This commit therefore
gathers some common knowledge near the grace-period sequence-number
definitions.

The current srcu_struct structure is on the order of 200 bytes in size
(depending on architecture and .config), which is much better than the
old-style 26K bytes, but still all too inconvenient when one is trying
to achieve good cache locality on a fastpath involving SRCU readers.
However, only a few fields in srcu_struct are used by SRCU readers.
The remaining fields could be offloaded to a new srcu_update
structure, thus shrinking the srcu_struct structure down to a few
tens of bytes. This commit begins this noble quest, a quest that is
complicated by open-coded initialization of the srcu_struct within the
srcu_notifier_head structure. This complication is addressed by updating
the srcu_notifier_head structure's open coding, given that there does
not appear to be a straightforward way of abstracting that initialization.
This commit moves only the ->node pointer to srcu_update. Later commits
will move additional fields.

Boot and suspend/resume should not be slowed down in kernels built with
CONFIG_RCU_LAZY=y. In particular, suspend can sometimes fail in such
kernels.
This commit therefore adds rcu_async_hurry(), rcu_async_relax(), and
rcu_async_should_hurry() functions that track whether or not either
a boot or a suspend/resume operation is in progress. This will
enable a later commit to refrain from laziness during those times.
Export rcu_async_should_hurry(), rcu_async_hurry(), and rcu_async_relax()

Because RCU CPU stall warnings are driven from the scheduling-clock
interrupt handler, a workload consisting of a very large number of
short-duration hardware interrupts can result in misleading stall-warning
messages. On systems supporting only a single level of interrupts,
that is, where interrupts handlers cannot be interrupted, this can
produce misleading diagnostics. The stack traces will show the
innocent-bystander interrupted task, not the interrupts that are
at the very least exacerbating the stall.
This situation can be improved by displaying the number of interrupts
and the CPU time that they have consumed. Diagnosing other types
of stalls can be eased by also providing the count of softirqs and
the CPU time that they consumed as well as the number of context
switches and the task-level CPU time consumed.
Consider the following output given this change:
rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt self-detected stall on CPU
rcu: 0-....: (1250 ticks this GP) <omitted>
rcu: hardirqs softirqs csw/system
rcu: number: 624 45 0
rcu: cputime: 69 1 2425 ==> 2500(ms)
This output shows that the number of hard and soft interrupts is small,
there are no context switches, and the system takes up a lot of time. This
indicates that the current task is looping with preemption disabled.
The impact on system performance is negligible because snapshot is
recorded only once for all continuous RCU stalls.
This added debugging information is suppressed by default and can be
enabled by building the kernel with CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_CPUTIME=y or
by booting with rcupdate.rcu_cpu_stall_cputime=1.

Merge tag 'printk-for-6.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux
Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Add NMI-safe SRCU reader API. It uses atomic_inc() instead of
this_cpu_inc() on strong load-store architectures.
- Introduce new console_list_lock to synchronize a manipulation of the
list of registered consoles and their flags.
This is a first step in removing the big-kernel-lock-like behavior of
console_lock(). This semaphore still serializes console->write()
calbacks against:
- each other. It primary prevents potential races between early
and proper console drivers using the same device.
- suspend()/resume() callbacks and init() operations in some
drivers.
- various other operations in the tty/vt and framebufer
susbsystems. It is likely that console_lock() serializes even
operations that are not directly conflicting with the
console->write() callbacks here. This is the most complicated
big-kernel-lock aspect of the console_lock() that will be hard
to untangle.
- Introduce new console_srcu lock that is used to safely iterate and
access the registered console drivers under SRCU read lock.
This is a prerequisite for introducing atomic console drivers and
console kthreads. It will reduce the complexity of serialization
against normal consoles and console_lock(). Also it should remove the
risk of deadlock during critical situations, like Oops or panic, when
only atomic consoles are registered.
- Check whether the console is registered instead of enabled on many
locations. It was a historical leftover.
- Cleanly force a preferred console in xenfb code instead of a dirty
hack.
- A lot of code and comment clean ups and improvements.

Kernels configured with CONFIG_PRINTK=n and CONFIG_SRCU=n get build
failures. This causes trouble for deep embedded systems. But given
that there are more than 25 instances of "select SRCU" in the kernel,
it is hard to believe that there are many kernels running in production
without SRCU. This commit therefore makes SRCU mandatory. The SRCU
Kconfig option remains for backwards compatibility, and will be removed
when it is no longer used.

Implement timer-based RCU callback batching (also known as lazy
callbacks). With this we save about 5-10% of power consumed due
to RCU requests that happen when system is lightly loaded or idle.
By default, all async callbacks (queued via call_rcu) are marked
lazy. An alternate API call_rcu_hurry() is provided for the few users,
for example synchronize_rcu(), that need the old behavior.
The batch is flushed whenever a certain amount of time has passed, or
the batch on a particular CPU grows too big. Also memory pressure will
flush it in a future patch.
To handle several corner cases automagically (such as rcu_barrier() and
hotplug), we re-use bypass lists which were originally introduced to
address lock contention, to handle lazy CBs as well. The bypass list
length has the lazy CB length included in it. A separate lazy CB length
counter is also introduced to keep track of the number of lazy CBs.

It is currently up to the caller to handle stale return values from
get_state_synchronize_rcu(). If poll_state_synchronize_rcu() returned
true once, a grace period has elapsed, regardless of the fact that counter
wrap might cause some future poll_state_synchronize_rcu() invocation to
return false. For example, the caller might store a separate flag that
indicates whether some previous call to poll_state_synchronize_rcu()
determined that the relevant grace period had already ended.
This approach works, but it requires extra storage and is easy to get
wrong. This commit therefore introduces a get_completed_synchronize_rcu()
that returns a cookie that causes poll_state_synchronize_rcu() to always
return true. This already-completed cookie can be stored in place of the
cookie that previously caused poll_state_synchronize_rcu() to return true.
It can also be used to flag a given structure as not having been exposed
to readers, and thus not requiring a grace period to elapse.
This commit is in preparation for polled expedited grace periods.

Currently, poll_state_synchronize_rcu() uses rcu_seq_done() to check
whether the specified grace period has completed. However, rcu_seq_done()
does a simple comparison that reserves have of the sequence-number space
for uncompleted grace periods. This has the unfortunate side-effect
of not handling sequence-number wrap gracefully. Of course, one can
argue that if someone has already waited for half of the full range of
grace periods, they can wait for the other half, but why wait at all in
this case?
This commit therefore creates a rcu_seq_done_exact() that counts as
uncompleted only the two grace periods during which the sequence number
might have been handed out, while still being uncompleted. This way,
if sequence-number wrap happens to hit that range, at most two additional
grace periods need be waited for.
This commit is in preparation for polled expedited grace periods.

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.

Tree RCU supports grace-period delays using the rcutree.gp_cleanup_delay,
rcutree.gp_init_delay, and rcutree.gp_preinit_delay kernel boot
parameters. These delays are strictly for debugging purposes, and have
proven quite effective at exposing bugs involving race with CPU-hotplug
operations. However, these delays can result in false positives when
used in conjunction with callback flooding, for example, those generated
by the rcutorture.fwd_progress kernel boot parameter.

Currently, rcu_torture_boost() runs CPU-bound at real-time priority
to force RCU priority inversions. It then checks that grace periods
progress during this CPU-bound time. If grace periods fail to progress,
it reports and RCU priority boosting failure.
However, it is possible (and sometimes does happen) that the grace period
fails to progress due to a CPU failing to pass through a quiescent state
for an extended time period (3.5 seconds by default). This can happen
due to vCPU preemption, long-running interrupts, and much else besides.
There is nothing that RCU priority boosting can do about these situations,
and so they should not be counted as RCU priority boosting failures.
This commit therefore checks for CPUs (as opposed to preempted tasks)
holding up a grace period, and flags the resulting RCU priority boosting
failures, but does not splat nor count them as errors. It does rate-limit
them to avoid flooding the console log.

An srcu_struct structure that is initialized before rcu_init_geometry()
will have its srcu_node hierarchy based on CONFIG_NR_CPUS. Once
rcu_init_geometry() is called, this hierarchy is compressed as needed
for the actual maximum number of CPUs for this system.
Later on, that srcu_struct structure is confused, sometimes referring
to its initial CONFIG_NR_CPUS-based hierarchy, and sometimes instead
to the new num_possible_cpus() hierarchy. For example, each of its
->mynode fields continues to reference the original leaf rcu_node
structures, some of which might no longer exist. On the other hand,
srcu_for_each_node_breadth_first() traverses to the new node hierarchy.
There are at least two bad possible outcomes to this:
1) a) A callback enqueued early on an srcu_data structure (call it
*sdp) is recorded pending on sdp->mynode->srcu_data_have_cbs in
srcu_funnel_gp_start() with sdp->mynode pointing to a deep leaf
(say 3 levels).
b) The grace period ends after rcu_init_geometry() shrinks the
nodes level to a single one. srcu_gp_end() walks through the new
srcu_node hierarchy without ever reaching the old leaves so the
callback is never executed.
This is easily reproduced on an 8 CPUs machine with CONFIG_NR_CPUS >= 32
and "rcupdate.rcu_self_test=1". The srcu_barrier() after early tests
verification never completes and the boot hangs:

2) An srcu_struct structure that is initialized before rcu_init_geometry()
and used afterward will always have stale rdp->mynode references,
resulting in callbacks to be missed in srcu_gp_end(), just like in
the previous scenario.
This commit therefore causes init_srcu_struct_nodes to initialize the
geometry, if needed. This ensures that the srcu_node hierarchy is
properly built and distributed from the get-go.

Once srcu_init() is called, the SRCU core will make use of delayed
workqueues, which rely on timers. However init_timers() is called
several steps after rcu_init(). This means that a call_srcu() after
rcu_init() but before init_timers() would find itself within a dangerously
uninitialized timer core.
This commit therefore creates a separate call to srcu_init() after
init_timer() completes, which ensures that we stay in early SRCU mode
until timers are safe(r).

This commit adds a lockdep_assert_irqs_disabled() call to the
helper macros that release the rcu_node structure's ->lock, namely
to raw_spin_unlock_rcu_node(), raw_spin_unlock_irq_rcu_node() and
raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore_rcu_node(). The point of this is to help track
down a situation where lockdep appears to be insisting that interrupts
are enabled while holding an rcu_node structure's ->lock.

At the end of the test and after rcu_torture_writer() stalls, rcutorture
invokes show_rcu_gp_kthreads() in order to dump out information on the
RCU grace-period kthread. This makes a lot of sense when testing vanilla
RCU, but not so much for the other flavors. This commit therefore allows
per-flavor kthread-dump functions to be specified.

Systems running CPU-bound real-time task do not want IPIs sent to CPUs
executing nohz_full userspace tasks. Battery-powered systems don't
want IPIs sent to idle CPUs in low-power mode. Unfortunately, RCU tasks
trace can and will send such IPIs in some cases.
Both of these situations occur only when the target CPU is in RCU
dyntick-idle mode, in other words, when RCU is not watching the
target CPU. This suggests that CPUs in dyntick-idle mode should use
memory barriers in outermost invocations of rcu_read_lock_trace()
and rcu_read_unlock_trace(), which would allow the RCU tasks trace
grace period to directly read out the target CPU's read-side state.
One challenge is that RCU tasks trace is not targeting a specific
CPU, but rather a task. And that task could switch from one CPU to
another at any time.
This commit therefore uses try_invoke_on_locked_down_task()
and checks for task_curr() in trc_inspect_reader_notrunning().
When this condition holds, the target task is running and cannot move.
If CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB=y, the new rcu_dynticks_zero_in_eqs()
function can be used to check if the specified integer (in this case,
t->trc_reader_nesting) is zero while the target CPU remains in that same
dyntick-idle sojourn. If so, the target task is in a quiescent state.
If not, trc_read_check_handler() must indicate failure so that the
grace-period kthread can take appropriate action or retry after an
appropriate delay, as the case may be.
With this change, given CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB=y, if a given
CPU remains idle or a given task continues executing in nohz_full mode,
the RCU tasks trace grace-period kthread will detect this without the
need to send an IPI.

In normal production, an RCU CPU stall warning at boottime is often
just as bad as at any other time. In fact, given the desire for fast
boot, any sort of long-term stall at boot is a bad idea. However,
heavy rcutorture testing on large hyperthreaded systems can generate
boottime RCU CPU stalls as a matter of course. This commit therefore
provides a kernel boot parameter that suppresses reporting of boottime
RCU CPU stall warnings and similarly of rcutorture writer stalls.

The for_each_leaf_node_cpu_mask() and for_each_leaf_node_possible_cpu()
macros must be invoked only on leaf rcu_node structures. Failing to
abide by this restriction can result in infinite loops on systems with
more than 64 CPUs (or for more than 32 CPUs on 32-bit systems). This
commit therefore adds WARN_ON_ONCE() calls to make misuse of these two
macros easier to debug.

The C preprocessor macros SRCU and TINY_RCU should instead be CONFIG_SRCU
and CONFIG_TINY_RCU, respectively in the #f in kernel/rcu/rcu.h. But
there is no harm when "TINY_RCU" is wrongly used, which are always
non-defined, which makes "!defined(TINY_RCU)" always true, which means
the code block is always included, and the included code block doesn't
cause any compilation error so far in CONFIG_TINY_RCU builds. It is
also the reason this change should not be taken in -stable.
This commit adds the needed "CONFIG_" prefix to both macros.
Not for -stable.

This commit removes kfree_rcu() special-casing and the lazy-callback
handling from Tree RCU. It moves some of this special casing to Tiny RCU,
the removal of which will be the subject of later commits.

Currently PREEMPT_RCU and TREE_RCU are mutually exclusive Kconfig
options. But PREEMPT_RCU actually specifies a kind of TREE_RCU,
namely a preemptible TREE_RCU. This commit therefore makes PREEMPT_RCU
be a modifer to the TREE_RCU Kconfig option. This has the benefit of
simplifying several of the #if expressions that formerly needed to
check both, but now need only check one or the other.

I have been showing off a trivial RCU implementation for non-preemptive
environments for some time now:
#define rcu_read_lock()
#define rcu_read_unlock()
#define rcu_dereference(p) READ_ONCE(p)
#define rcu_assign_pointer(p, v) smp_store_release(&(p), (v))
void synchronize_rcu(void)
{
int cpu;
for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
sched_setaffinity(current->pid, cpumask_of(cpu));
}
Trivial or not, as the old saying goes, "if it ain't tested, it don't
work!". This commit therefore adds a "trivial" flavor to rcutorture
and a corresponding TRIVIAL test scenario. This variant does not handle
CPU hotplug, which is unconditionally enabled on x86 for post-v5.1-rc3
kernels, which is why the TRIVIAL.boot says "rcutorture.onoff_interval=0".
This commit actually does handle CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels, but only
because it turns back the Linux-kernel clock in order to provide these
alternative definitions (or the moral equivalent thereof):
#define rcu_read_lock() preempt_disable()
#define rcu_read_unlock() preempt_enable()
In CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernels without debugging, these are equivalent to
empty macros give or take a compiler barrier. However, the have been
successfully tested with actual empty macros as well.
