Pull RCU updates from Joel Fernandes:
- Updates and additions to MAINTAINERS files, with Boqun being added to
the RCU entry and Zqiang being added as an RCU reviewer.
I have also transitioned from reviewer to maintainer; however, Paul
will be taking over sending RCU pull-requests for the next merge
window.
- Resolution of hotplug warning in nohz code, achieved by fixing
cpu_is_hotpluggable() through interaction with the nohz subsystem.
Tick dependency modifications by Zqiang, focusing on fixing usage of
the TICK_DEP_BIT_RCU_EXP bitmask.
- Avoid needless calls to the rcu-lazy shrinker for CONFIG_RCU_LAZY=n
kernels, fixed by Zqiang.
- Improvements to rcu-tasks stall reporting by Neeraj.
- Initial renaming of k[v]free_rcu() to k[v]free_rcu_mightsleep() for
increased robustness, affecting several components like mac802154,
drbd, vmw_vmci, tracing, and more.
A report by Eric Dumazet showed that the API could be unknowingly
used in an atomic context, so we'd rather make sure they know what
they're asking for by being explicit:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221202052847.2623997-1-edumazet@google.com/
- Documentation updates, including corrections to spelling,
clarifications in comments, and improvements to the srcu_size_state
comments.
- Better srcu_struct cache locality for readers, by adjusting the size
of srcu_struct in support of SRCU usage by Christoph Hellwig.
- Teach lockdep to detect deadlocks between srcu_read_lock() vs
synchronize_srcu() contributed by Boqun.
Previously lockdep could not detect such deadlocks, now it can.
- Integration of rcutorture and rcu-related tools, targeted for v6.4
from Boqun's tree, featuring new SRCU deadlock scenarios, test_nmis
module parameter, and more
- Miscellaneous changes, various code cleanups and comment improvements

Now that ->nocb_timer and ->nocb_bypass_timer have become quite similar,
this commit merges them together. A new RCU_NOCB_WAKE_BYPASS wake level
is introduced. As a result, timers perform all kinds of deferred wake
ups but other deferred wakeup callsites only handle non-bypass wakeups
in order not to wake up rcuo too early.
The timer also unconditionally executes a full barrier so as to order
timer_pending() and callback enqueue although the path performing
RCU_NOCB_WAKE_FORCE that makes use of it is debatable. It should also
test against the rdp leader instead of the current rdp.
This unconditional full barrier shouldn't bring visible overhead since
these timers almost never fire.

New feature:
The "func-no-repeats" option in tracefs/options directory. When set
the function tracer will detect if the current function being traced
is the same as the previous one, and instead of recording it, it will
keep track of the number of times that the function is repeated in a row.
And when another function is recorded, it will write a new event that
shows the function that repeated, the number of times it repeated and
the time stamp of when the last repeated function occurred.
Enhancements:
In order to implement the above "func-no-repeats" option, the ring
buffer timestamp can now give the accurate timestamp of the event
as it is being recorded, instead of having to record an absolute
timestamp for all events. This helps the histogram code which no longer
needs to waste ring buffer space.
New validation logic to make sure all trace events that access
dereferenced pointers do so in a safe way, and will warn otherwise.
Fixes:
No longer limit the PIDs of tasks that are recorded for "saved_cmdlines"
to PID_MAX_DEFAULT (32768), as systemd now allows for a much larger
range. This caused the mapping of PIDs to the task names to be dropped
for all tasks with a PID greater than 32768.
Change trace_clock_global() to never block. This caused a deadlock.
Clean ups:
Typos, prototype fixes, and removing of duplicate or unused code.
Better management of ftrace_page allocations.

This commit adds a trace event which allows tracing the beginnings of RCU
CPU stall warnings on systems where sysctl_panic_on_rcu_stall is disabled.
The first parameter is the name of RCU flavor like other trace events.
The second parameter indicates whether this is a stall of an expedited
grace period, a self-detected stall of a normal grace period, or a stall
of a normal grace period detected by some CPU other than the one that
is stalled.
RCU CPU stall warnings are often caused by external-to-RCU issues,
for example, in interrupt handling or task scheduling. Therefore,
this event uses TRACE_EVENT, not TRACE_EVENT_RCU, to avoid requiring
those interested in tracing RCU CPU stalls to rebuild their kernels
with CONFIG_RCU_TRACE=y.

This commit adds tracing to track how the segcb list changes before/after
acceleration, during queuing and during dequeuing.
This tracing helped discover an optimization that avoided needless GP
requests when no callbacks were accelerated. The tracing overhead is

The following changes are introduced:
1. Rename rcu_invoke_kfree_callback() to rcu_invoke_kvfree_callback(),
as well as the associated trace events, so the rcu_kfree_callback(),
becomes rcu_kvfree_callback(). The reason is to be aligned with kvfree()
notation.
2. Rename __is_kfree_rcu_offset to __is_kvfree_rcu_offset. All RCU
paths use kvfree() now instead of kfree(), thus rename it.
3. Rename kfree_call_rcu() to the kvfree_call_rcu(). The reason is,
it is capable of freeing vmalloc() memory now. Do the same with
__kfree_rcu() macro, it becomes __kvfree_rcu(), the goal is the
same.

Currently, rcu_barrier() ignores offline CPUs, However, it is possible
for an offline no-CBs CPU to have callbacks queued, and rcu_barrier()
must wait for those callbacks. This commit therefore makes rcu_barrier()
directly invoke the rcu_barrier_func() with interrupts disabled for such
CPUs. This requires passing the CPU number into this function so that
it can entrain the rcu_barrier() callback onto the correct CPU's callback
list, given that the code must instead execute on the current CPU.
While in the area, this commit fixes a bug where the first CPU's callback
might have been invoked before rcu_segcblist_entrain() returned, which
would also result in an early wakeup.

Currently the RCU callbacks for no-CBs CPUs are queued on a series of
ad-hoc linked lists, which means that these callbacks cannot benefit
from "drive-by" grace periods, thus suffering needless delays prior
to invocation. In addition, the no-CBs grace-period kthreads first
wait for callbacks to appear and later wait for a new grace period,
which means that callbacks appearing during a grace-period wait can
be delayed. These delays increase memory footprint, and could even
result in an out-of-memory condition.
This commit therefore enqueues RCU callbacks from no-CBs CPUs on the
rcu_segcblist structure that is already used by non-no-CBs CPUs. It also
restructures the no-CBs grace-period kthread to be checking for incoming
callbacks while waiting for grace periods. Also, instead of waiting
for a new grace period, it waits for the closest grace period that will
cause some of the callbacks to be safe to invoke. All of these changes
reduce callback latency and thus the number of outstanding callbacks,
in turn reducing the probability of an out-of-memory condition.

The ->rcu_qs_ctr counter was intended to allow providing a lightweight
report of a quiescent state to all RCU flavors. But now that there is
only one flavor of RCU in any one running kernel, there is no point in
having this feature. This commit therefore removes the ->rcu_qs_ctr
field from the rcu_dynticks structure and the ->rcu_qs_ctr_snap field
from the rcu_data structure. This results in the "rqc" option to the
rcu_fqs trace event no longer being used, so this commit also removes the
"rqc" description from the header comment.
While in the neighborhood, this commit also causes the forward-progress
request .rcu_need_heavy_qs be set one jiffies_till_sched_qs interval
later in the grace period than the first setting of .rcu_urgent_qs.

Because rcu_barrier() is a one-line wrapper function for _rcu_barrier()
and because nothing else calls _rcu_barrier(), this commit inlines
_rcu_barrier() into rcu_barrier().

Now that quiescent states for newly offlined CPUs are reported either
when that CPU goes offline or at the end of grace-period initialization,
the CPU-hotplug failsafe in the force-quiescent-state code path is no
longer needed.
This commit therefore removes this failsafe.

The name 'c' is used for variables and parameters holding the requested
grace-period sequence number. However it is no longer very meaningful
given the conversions from ->gpnum and (especially) ->completed to
->gp_seq. This commit therefore renames 'c' to 'gp_seq_req'.

The old grace-period start code would acquire only the leaf's rcu_node
structure's ->lock if that structure believed that a grace period was
in progress. The new code advances to the leaf's parent in this case,
needlessly acquiring then leaf's parent's ->lock. This commit therefore
checks the grace-period state after marking the leaf with the need for
the specified grace period, and if the leaf believes that a grace period
is in progress, takes an early exit.

[ paulmck: Add "Startedleaf" tracing as suggested by Joel Fernandes. ]
This commit makes the rcu_quiescent_state_report tracepoint use ->gp_seq
instead of ->gpnum.

This commit makes the rcu_grace_period tracepoint use gp_seq instead
of ->gpnum or ->completed. It also introduces a "cpuofl-bgp" string to
less obscurely indicate when a CPU has gone offline while a grace period
is waiting on it.

Reworking grace-period initiation and funnel locking added new
rcu_future_grace_period() trace events, so this commit updates the
rcu_future_grace_period() trace event's header comment accordingly.

If a CPU is transitioning to or from offline state, an expedited
grace period may undergo a timed wait. This timed wait can unduly
delay grace periods, so this commit adds a trace statement to make
it visible.

The trace event rcu_nocb_wake is only used when CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU is
defined. But the trace event is defined regardless. As defined trace
events take up memory, it is a waste to have it defined when not used.
Surround the trace event with an #ifdef to have it only defined when it
is used.

Commit c0f4dfd4f9 ("rcu: Make RCU_FAST_NO_HZ take advantage of
numbered callbacks") removed the only instances of trace_rcu_prep_idle,
but did not remove the TRACE_EVENT() that creates it. As defined trace
events take up memory within the kernel even when they are not used,
this is a waste of space. Remove the obsolete event.

The code that checks for non-idle non-nohz_idle-usermode tasks invoking
rcu_eqs_enter() and rcu_eqs_exit() prints a considerable quantity of
helpful information. However, these checks fire rarely, so the extra
complexity is no longer worth it. This commit therefore replaces this
debug code with simple WARN_ON_ONCE() statements.

Because the ->dynticks_nesting field now only contains the process-based
nesting level instead of a value encoding both the process nesting level
and the irq "nesting" level, we no longer need a long long, even on
32-bit systems. This commit therefore changes both the ->dynticks_nesting
and ->dynticks_nmi_nesting fields to long.
