Paul Gortmaker 49fb4c6290 rcu: delete __cpuinit usage from all rcu files
The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

This removes all the drivers/rcu uses of the __cpuinit macros
from all C files.

Steven Rostedt e4aa0da39b rcu: Allow rcutorture to be built at low optimization levels
The uses of trace_clock_local() are dead code when CONFIG_RCU_TRACE=n,
but some compilers might nevertheless generate code calling this function.
This commit therefore ensures that trace_clock_local() is invoked only
when CONFIG_RCU_TRACE=y.

A number of kthreads have been added to rcutorture, but the shuffler
task was not informed of them, and thus did not shuffle them.  This
commit therefore adds the requisite shuffling, and, while in the area

However, the shuffling is intended to keep randomly selected CPUs

Paul E. McKenney 5249453510 rcu: Reduce rcutorture tracing
Currently, rcutorture traces every read-side access.  This can be
problematic because even a two-minute rcutorture run on a two-CPU system

interest, so this commit traces adjusts rcutorture's tracing to only
trace failing reads.  The resulting event tracing records the time
and the ->completed value captured at the beginning of the RCU read-side
critical section, allowing correlation with other event-tracing messages.

Paul E. McKenney c6ebcbb60c rcu: Fix bug in rcu_barrier() torture test
The child threads in the rcu_torture_barrier_cbs() are improperly
synchronized, which can cause the rcu_barrier() tests to hang.  The
failure mode is as follows:

1.	CPU 0 running in rcu_torture_barrier() sets barrier_cbs_count
    	to n_barrier_cbs.

2.	CPU 1 running in rcu_torture_barrier_cbs() wakes up, posts
    	its RCU callback, and atomically decrements barrier_cbs_count.
    	Because barrier_cbs_count is not zero, it does not do the wake_up().

3.	CPU 2 running in rcu_torture_barrier_cbs() wakes up, but
    	finds that barrier_cbs_count is not equal to n_barrier_cbs,
    	and so returns to sleep.

4.	The value of barrier_cbs_count therefore never reaches zero,
    	which causes the test to hang.

This commit therefore uses a phase variable to coordinate the test,
preventing this scenario from occurring.

Paul E. McKenney cef50120b6 rcu: Direct algorithmic SRCU implementation
The current implementation of synchronize_srcu_expedited() can cause
severe OS jitter due to its use of synchronize_sched(), which in turn
invokes try_stop_cpus(), which causes each CPU to be sent an IPI.
This can result in severe performance degradation for real-time workloads
and especially for short-interation-length HPC workloads.  Furthermore,
because only one instance of try_stop_cpus() can be making forward progress
at a given time, only one instance of synchronize_srcu_expedited() can
make forward progress at a time, even if they are all operating on
distinct srcu_struct structures.

This commit, inspired by an earlier implementation by Peter Zijlstra
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/31/211) and by further offline discussions,
takes a strictly algorithmic bits-in-memory approach.  This has the
disadvantage of requiring one explicit memory-barrier instruction in
each of srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock(), but on the other hand
completely dispenses with OS jitter and furthermore allows SRCU to be
used freely by CPUs that RCU believes to be idle or offline.

The update-side implementation handles the single read-side memory
barrier by rechecking the per-CPU counters after summing them and
by running through the update-side state machine twice.

This implementation has passed moderate rcutorture testing on both
x86 and Power.  Also updated to use this_cpu_ptr() instead of per_cpu_ptr(),
as suggested by Peter Zijlstra.

Paul E. McKenney f220242af9 rcu: Make rcutorture test for hotpluggability before offlining CPUs
The rcutorture test now can automatically exercise CPU hotplug and
collect success statistics, which can be correlated with other rcutorture
activity.  This permits rcutorture to completely exercise RCU regardless
of what sort of userspace and filesystem layout is in use.  Unfortunately,
rcutorture is happy to attempt to offline CPUs that cannot be offlined,
for example, CPU 0 in both the x86 and ARM architectures.  Although this
allows rcutorture testing to proceed normally, it confounds attempts at
error analysis due to the resulting flood of spurious CPU-hotplug errors.

Therefore, this commit uses the new cpu_is_hotpluggable() function to
avoid attempting to offline CPUs that are not hotpluggable, which in
turn avoids spurious CPU-hotplug errors.

Paul E. McKenney ab8f11e5f6 rcu: Make rcu_torture_boost() exit loops at end of test
One of the loops in rcu_torture_boost() fails to check kthread_should_stop(),
and thus might be slowing or even stopping completion of rcutorture tests
at rmmod time.  This commit adds the kthread_should_stop() check to the
offending loop.

Paul E. McKenney 93898fb1a3 rcu: Make rcu_torture_fqs() exit loops at end of test
The rcu_torture_fqs() function can prevent the rcutorture tests from
completing, resulting in a hang.  This commit therefore ensures that
rcu_torture_fqs() will exit its inner loops at the end of the test,
and also applies the newish ULONG_CMP_LT() macro to time comparisons.

Paul E. McKenney 3721bc1d3e rcu: Allow rcutorture's stat_interval parameter to be changed at runtime
When rcutorture is compiled directly into the kernel
(instead of separately as a module), it is necessary to specify
rcutorture.stat_interval as a kernel command-line parameter, otherwise,
the rcu_torture_stats kthread is never started.  However, when working
with the system after it has booted, it is convenient to be able to
change the time between statistic printing, particularly when logged
into the console.

This commit therefore allows the stat_interval parameter to be changed
at runtime.

Paul E. McKenney 9d68197c05 rcu: Don't destroy rcu_torture_boost() callback until it is done
The rcu_torture_boost() cleanup code destroyed debug-objects state before
waiting for the last RCU callback to be invoked, resulting in rare but
very real debug-objects warnings.  Move the destruction to after the
waiting to fix this problem.

Eric Dumazet 1f28809480 rcu: Use kthread_create_on_node()
Commit a26ac2455f (move TREE_RCU from softirq to kthread) added
per-CPU kthreads.  However, kthread creation uses kthread_create(), which
can put the kthread's stack and task struct on the wrong NUMA node.
Therefore, use kthread_create_on_node() instead of kthread_create()
so that the stacks and task structs are placed on the correct NUMA node.

A similar change was carried out in commit 94dcf29a11 (kthread:
use kthread_create_on_node()).

Also change rcutorture's priority-boost-test kthread creation.

Paul E. McKenney 561190e3b3 rcu: mark rcutorture boosting callback as being on-stack
The CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD facility requires that on-stack RCU
callbacks be flagged explicitly to debug-objects using the
init_rcu_head_on_stack() and destroy_rcu_head_on_stack() functions.
This commit applies those functions to the rcutorture code that tests
RCU priority boosting.
