The following pattern is currently not well supported by RCU:
1. Make data element inaccessible to RCU readers.
2. Do work that probably lasts for more than one grace period.
3. Do something to make sure RCU readers in flight before #1 above
have completed.
Here are some things that could currently be done:
a. Do a synchronize_rcu() unconditionally at either #1 or #3 above.
This works, but imposes needless work and latency.
b. Post an RCU callback at #1 above that does a wakeup, then
wait for the wakeup at #3. This works well, but likely results
in an extra unneeded grace period. Open-coding this is also
a bit more semi-tricky code than would be good.
This commit therefore adds get_state_synchronize_rcu() and
cond_synchronize_rcu() APIs. Call get_state_synchronize_rcu() at #1
above and pass its return value to cond_synchronize_rcu() at #3 above.
This results in a call to synchronize_rcu() if no grace period has
elapsed between #1 and #3, but requires only a load, comparison, and
memory barrier if a full grace period did elapse.

The kbuild test bot uncovered an implicit dependence on the
trace header being present before rcu.h in ia64 allmodconfig
that looks like this:
In file included from kernel/ksysfs.c:22:0:
kernel/rcu/rcu.h: In function '__rcu_reclaim':
kernel/rcu/rcu.h:107:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'trace_rcu_invoke_kfree_callback' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
kernel/rcu/rcu.h:112:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'trace_rcu_invoke_callback' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
Looking at other rcu.h users, we can find that they all
were sourcing the trace header in advance of rcu.h itself,
as seen in the context of this diff. There were also some
inconsistencies as to whether it was or wasn't sourced based
on the parent tracing Kconfig.
Rather than "fix" it at each use site, and have inconsistent
use based on whether "#ifdef CONFIG_RCU_TRACE" was used or not,
lets just source the trace header just once, in the actual consumer
of it, which is rcu.h itself. We include it unconditionally, as
build testing shows us that is a hard requirement for some files.

Not all of the rcutorture kthreads waited for kthread_should_stop()
before returning from their top-level functions, and none of them
used torture_shutdown_absorb() properly. These problems can result in
segfaults and hangs at shutdown time, and some recent changes perturbed
timing sufficiently to make them much more probable. This commit
therefore creates a torture_kthread_stopping() function that does the
proper kthread shutdown dance in one centralized location.
Accommodate this grouping by making VERBOSE_TOROUT_STRING() capable of
taking a non-const string as its argument, which allows the new
torture_kthread_stopping() to pass its "title" argument directly to
the updated version of VERBOSE_TOROUT_STRING().

rcu_my_thread_group_empty()
rcu_dereference_check_fdtable() looks very wrong,
1. rcu_my_thread_group_empty() was added by 844b9a8707f1 "vfs: fix
RCU-lockdep false positive due to /proc" but it doesn't really
fix the problem. A CLONE_THREAD (without CLONE_FILES) task can
hit the same race with get_files_struct().
And otoh rcu_my_thread_group_empty() can suppress the correct
warning if the caller is the CLONE_FILES (without CLONE_THREAD)
task.
2. files->count == 1 check is not really right too. Even if this
files_struct is not shared it is not safe to access it lockless
unless the caller is the owner.
Otoh, this check is sub-optimal. files->count == 0 always means
it is safe to use it lockless even if files != current->files,
but put_files_struct() has to take rcu_read_lock(). See the next
patch.
This patch removes the buggy checks and turns fcheck_files() into
__fcheck_files() which uses rcu_dereference_raw(), the "unshared"
callers, fget_light() and fget_raw_light(), can use it to avoid
the warning from RCU-lockdep.
fcheck_files() is trivially reimplemented as rcu_lockdep_assert()
plus __fcheck_files().

RCU must ensure that there is the equivalent of a full memory
barrier between any memory access preceding grace period and any
memory access following that same grace period, regardless of
which CPU(s) happen to execute the two memory accesses.
Therefore, downgrading UNLOCK+LOCK to no longer imply a full
memory barrier requires some adjustments to RCU.
This commit therefore adds smp_mb__after_unlock_lock()
invocations as needed after the RCU lock acquisitions that need
to be part of a full-memory-barrier UNLOCK+LOCK.

If the rcutorture SRCU output exceeds 4096 bytes, for example, if you
have more than about 75 CPUs, it will overflow the current statically
allocated buffer. This commit therefore replaces this static buffer
with a dynamically buffer whose size is based on the number of CPUs.
Benefits:
- Avoids both buffer overflow and output truncation.
- Handles an arbitrarily large number of CPUs.
- Straightforward implementation.
Shortcomings:
- Some memory is wasted:
1 cpu now comsumes 50 - 60 bytes, and this patch provides 200 bytes.
Therefore, for 1K CPUs, roughly 100KB of memory will be wasted.
However, the memory is freed immediately after printing, so this
wastage should not be a problem in practice.
Testing (Fedora16 2 CPUs, 2GB RAM x86_64):
- as module, with/without "torture_type=srcu".
- build-in not boot runnable, with/without "torture_type=srcu".
- build-in let boot runnable, with/without "torture_type=srcu".

Whenever a CPU receives a scheduling-clock interrupt, RCU checks to see
if the RCU core needs anything from this CPU. If so, RCU raises
RCU_SOFTIRQ to carry out any needed processing.
This approach has worked well historically, but it is undesirable on
NO_HZ_FULL CPUs. Such CPUs are expected to spend almost all of their time
in userspace, so that scheduling-clock interrupts can be disabled while
there is only one runnable task on the CPU in question. Unfortunately,
raising any softirq has the potential to wake up ksoftirqd, which would
provide the second runnable task on that CPU, preventing disabling of
scheduling-clock interrupts.
What is needed instead is for RCU to leave NO_HZ_FULL CPUs alone,
relying on the grace-period kthreads' quiescent-state forcing to
do any needed RCU work on behalf of those CPUs.
This commit therefore refrains from raising RCU_SOFTIRQ on any
NO_HZ_FULL CPUs during any grace periods that have been in effect
for less than one second. The one-second limit handles the case
where an inappropriate workload is running on a NO_HZ_FULL CPU
that features lots of scheduling-clock interrupts, but no idle
or userspace time.

After commit #10f39bb1b2c1 (rcu: protect __rcu_read_unlock() against
scheduler-using irq handlers), it is no longer possible to enter
the main body of rcu_read_lock_special() from an NMI, interrupt, or
softirq handler. In theory, this implies that the check for "in_irq()
|| in_serving_softirq()" must always fail, so that in theory this check
could be removed entirely.
In practice, this commit wraps this condition with a WARN_ON_ONCE().
If this warning never triggers, then the condition will be removed
entirely.
[ paulmck: And one way of triggering the WARN_ON() is if a scheduling
clock interrupt occurs in an RCU read-side critical section, setting
RCU_READ_UNLOCK_NEED_QS, which is handled by rcu_read_unlock_special().
Updated this commit to return if only that bit was set. ]

Currently blocking in an RCU callback function will result in
"scheduling while atomic", which could be triggered for any number
of reasons. To aid debugging, this patch introduces a rcu_callback_map
that is used to tie the inappropriate voluntary context switch back
to the fact that the function is being invoked from within a callback.

Each element of the rcu_state structure's ->levelspread[] array
is intended to contain the per-level fanout, where the zero-th
element corresponds to the root of the rcu_node tree, and the last
element corresponds to the leaves. In the CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT
case, this means that the last element should be filled in
from CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF (or from the rcu_fanout_leaf boot
parameter, if provided) and that the remaining elements should
be filled in from CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT. Unfortunately, the current
code in rcu_init_levelspread() takes the opposite approach, placing
CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF in the zero-th element and CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT in
the remaining elements.
For typical power-of-two values, this generates odd but functional
rcu_node trees. However, other values, for example CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=3
and CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF=2, generate trees that can leave some CPUs
out of the grace-period computation, resulting in too-short grace periods
and therefore a broken RCU implementation.
This commit therefore fixes rcu_init_levelspread() to set the last
->levelspread[] array element from CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF and the
remaining elements from CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT, thus generating the
intended rcu_node trees.
