Paul E. McKenney e015a34112 rcu: Avoid self-IPI in sync_sched_exp_online_cleanup()
The sync_sched_exp_online_cleanup() is invoked at online time to handle
the case where the start of an expedited grace period ran concurrently
with a CPU being taken offline and then immediately being placed online.
It checks to see if RCU needs an expedited quiescent state from the
incoming CPU, sending it an IPI if so.  However, it is quite possible
that sync_sched_exp_online_cleanup() is running on that CPU, in which
case it is considerably less overhead to simply request the quiescent
state locally instead of simulating a self-IPI.

This commit therefore places the last few lines of rcu_exp_handler()
into a new rcu_exp_need_qs() function, which is invoked both by
rcu_exp_handler() and by sync_sched_exp_online_cleanup() in the self-IPI
case.

This also reduces the rcu_exp_handler() function's state space by
removing the direct call that this smp_call_function_single() uses to
emulate the requested self-IPI.  This in turn will allow tighter error
checking in rcu_is_cpu_rrupt_from_idle().

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
