Lai Jiangshan 5f6130fa52 tiny_rcu: Directly force QS when call_rcu_[bh|sched]() on idle_task
For RCU in UP, context-switch = QS = GP, thus we can force a
context-switch when any call_rcu_[bh|sched]() is happened on idle_task.
After doing so, rcu_idle/irq_enter/exit() are useless, so we can simply
make these functions empty.

More important, this change does not change the functionality logically.
Note: raise_softirq(RCU_SOFTIRQ)/rcu_sched_qs() in rcu_idle_enter() and
outmost rcu_irq_exit() will have to wake up the ksoftirqd
(due to in_interrupt() == 0).

Before this patch		After this patch:
call_rcu_sched() in idle;	call_rcu_sched() in idle
				  set resched
do other stuffs;		do other stuffs
outmost rcu_irq_exit()		outmost rcu_irq_exit() (empty function)
  (or rcu_idle_enter())		  (or rcu_idle_enter(), also empty function)
				start to resched. (see above)
  rcu_sched_qs()		rcu_sched_qs()
    QS,and GP and advance cb	  QS,and GP and advance cb
    wake up the ksoftirqd	    wake up the ksoftirqd
      set resched
resched to ksoftirqd (or other)	resched to ksoftirqd (or other)

These two code patches are almost the same.

Pranith Kumar aa23c6fbc5 rcutorture: Add early boot self tests
Add early boot self tests for RCU under CONFIG_PROVE_RCU.

Currently the only test is adding a dummy callback which increments a counter
which we then later verify after calling rcu_barrier*().

Paul E. McKenney 406e3e5365 rcu: Fix __rcu_reclaim() to use true/false for bool
The __rcu_reclaim() function returned 0/1, which is not proper for a
function of type bool.  This commit therefore converts to false/true.

Paul Gortmaker 5cb5c6e18f rcu: Ensure kernel/rcu/rcu.h can be sourced/used stand-alone
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.

Paul E. McKenney 87de1cfdc5 rcu: Stop tracking FSF's postal address
All of the RCU source files have the usual GPL header, which contains a
long-obsolete postal address for FSF.  To avoid the need to track the
FSF office's movements, this commit substitutes the URL where GPL may
be found.

Teodora Baluta bd73a7f5cd rcu: Remove "extern" from function declarations in kernel/rcu/rcu.h
Function prototypes don't need to have the "extern" keyword since this
is the default behavior. Its explicit use is redundant.  This commit
therefore removes them.

Paul E. McKenney 24ef659a85 rcu: Provide better diagnostics for blocking in RCU callback functions
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.
