2021-03-22rcu: Provide polling interfaces for Tree RCU grace periodsPaul E. McKenney1-0/+2
There is a need for a non-blocking polling interface for RCU grace periods, so this commit supplies start_poll_synchronize_rcu() and poll_state_synchronize_rcu() for this purpose. Note that the existing get_state_synchronize_rcu() may be used if future grace periods are inevitable (perhaps due to a later call_rcu() invocation). The new start_poll_synchronize_rcu() is to be used if future grace periods might not otherwise happen. Finally, poll_state_synchronize_rcu() provides a lockless check for a grace period having elapsed since the corresponding call to either of the get_state_synchronize_rcu() or start_poll_synchronize_rcu(). As with get_state_synchronize_rcu(), the return value from either get_state_synchronize_rcu() or start_poll_synchronize_rcu() is passed in to a later call to either poll_state_synchronize_rcu() or the existing (might_sleep) cond_synchronize_rcu().

2020-06-29rcu: Rename *_kfree_callback/*_kfree_rcu_offset/kfree_call_*Uladzislau Rezki (Sony)1-1/+1
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.

Same as rcu_is_watching() but without the preempt_disable/enable() pair inside the function. It is merked noinstr so it ends up in the non-instrumentable text section. This is useful for non-preemptible code especially in the low level entry section. Using rcu_is_watching() there results in a call to the preempt_schedule_notrace() thunk which triggers noinstr section warnings in objtool.

2020-05-19rcu: Provide rcu_irq_exit_preempt()Thomas Gleixner1-0/+1
Interrupts and exceptions invoke rcu_irq_enter() on entry and need to invoke rcu_irq_exit() before they either return to the interrupted code or invoke the scheduler due to preemption. The general assumption is that RCU idle code has to have preemption disabled so that a return from interrupt cannot schedule. So the return from interrupt code invokes rcu_irq_exit() and preempt_schedule_irq(). If there is any imbalance in the rcu_irq/nmi* invocations or RCU idle code had preemption enabled then this goes unnoticed until the CPU goes idle or some other RCU check is executed. Provide rcu_irq_exit_preempt() which can be invoked from the interrupt/exception return code in case that preemption is enabled. It invokes rcu_irq_exit() and contains a few sanity checks in case that CONFIG_PROVE_RCU is enabled to catch such issues directly.

2020-04-27rcu: Add rcu_gp_might_be_stalled()Paul E. McKenney1-0/+1
This commit adds rcu_gp_might_be_stalled(), which returns true if there is some reason to believe that the RCU grace period is stalled. The use case is where an RCU free-memory path needs to allocate memory in order to free it, a situation that should be avoided where possible. But where it is necessary, there is always the alternative of using synchronize_rcu() to wait for a grace period in order to avoid the allocation. And if the grace period is stalled, allocating memory to asynchronously wait for it is a bad idea of epic proportions: Far better to let others use the memory, because these others might actually be able to free that memory before the grace period ends. Thus, rcu_gp_might_be_stalled() can be used to help decide whether allocating memory on an RCU free path is a semi-reasonable course of action.

2020-02-21rcutorture: Suppress forward-progress complaints during early bootPaul E. McKenney1-0/+1
Some larger systems can take in excess of 50 seconds to complete their early boot initcalls prior to spawing init. This does not in any way help the forward-progress judgments of built-in rcutorture (when rcutorture is built as a module, the insmod or modprobe command normally cannot happen until some time after boot completes). This commit therefore suppresses such complaints until about the time that init is spawned. This also includes a fix to a stupid error located by kbuild test robot.

2020-01-24rcu: Add basic support for kfree_rcu() batchingByungchul Park1-0/+2
Recently a discussion about stability and performance of a system involving a high rate of kfree_rcu() calls surfaced on the list [1] which led to another discussion how to prepare for this situation. This patch adds basic batching support for kfree_rcu(). It is "basic" because we do none of the slab management, dynamic allocation, code moving or any of the other things, some of which previous attempts did [2]. These fancier improvements can be follow-up patches and there are different ideas being discussed in those regards. This is an effort to start simple, and build up from there. In the future, an extension to use kfree_bulk and possibly per-slab batching could be done to further improve performance due to cache-locality and slab-specific bulk free optimizations. By using an array of pointers, the worker thread processing the work would need to read lesser data since it does not need to deal with large rcu_head(s) any longer. Torture tests follow in the next patch and show improvements of around 5x reduction in number of grace periods on a 16 CPU system. More details and test data are in that patch. There is an implication with rcu_barrier() with this patch. Since the kfree_rcu() calls can be batched, and may not be handed yet to the RCU machinery in fact, the monitor may not have even run yet to do the queue_rcu_work(), there seems no easy way of implementing rcu_barrier() to wait for those kfree_rcu()s that are already made. So this means a kfree_rcu() followed by an rcu_barrier() does not imply that memory will be freed once rcu_barrier() returns. Another implication is higher active memory usage (although not run-away..) until the kfree_rcu() flooding ends, in comparison to without batching. More details about this are in the second patch which adds an rcuperf test. Finally, in the near future we will get rid of kfree_rcu() special casing within RCU such as in rcu_do_batch and switch everything to just batching. Currently we don't do that since timer subsystem is not yet up and we cannot schedule the kfree_rcu() monitor as the timer subsystem's lock are not initialized. That would also mean getting rid of kfree_call_rcu_nobatch() entirely.

2018-08-31rcu: Define RCU-sched API in terms of RCU for Tree RCU PREEMPT buildsPaul E. McKenney1-1/+6
Now that RCU-preempt knows about preemption disabling, its implementation of synchronize_rcu() works for synchronize_sched(), and likewise for the other RCU-sched update-side API members. This commit therefore confines the RCU-sched update-side code to CONFIG_PREEMPT=n builds, and defines RCU-sched's update-side API members in terms of those of RCU-preempt. This means that any given build of the Linux kernel has only one update-side flavor of RCU, namely RCU-preempt for CONFIG_PREEMPT=y builds and RCU-sched for CONFIG_PREEMPT=n builds. This in turn means that kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y have only one rcuo kthread per CPU. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

This commit therefore removes the RCU-bh update-side implementation and defines RCU-bh's update-side API in terms of that of either RCU-preempt or RCU-sched, depending on the setting of the CONFIG_PREEMPT Kconfig option.

2018-08-31rcu: Apply RCU-bh QSes to RCU-sched and RCU-preempt when safePaul E. McKenney1-0/+1
One necessary step towards consolidating the three flavors of RCU is to make sure that the resulting consolidated "one flavor to rule them all" correctly handles networking denial-of-service attacks. One thing that allows RCU-bh to do so is that __do_softirq() invokes rcu_bh_qs() every so often, and so something similar has to happen for consolidated RCU. This must be done carefully. For example, if a preemption-disabled region of code takes an interrupt which does softirq processing before returning, consolidated RCU must ignore the resulting rcu_bh_qs() invocations -- preemption is still disabled, and that means an RCU reader for the consolidated flavor. This commit therefore creates a new rcu_softirq_qs() that is called only from the ksoftirqd task, thus avoiding the interrupted-a-preempted-region problem. This new rcu_softirq_qs() function invokes rcu_sched_qs(), rcu_preempt_qs(), and rcu_preempt_deferred_qs(). The latter call handles any deferred quiescent states. Note that __do_softirq() still invokes rcu_bh_qs(). It will continue to do so until a later stage of cleanup when the RCU-bh flavor is removed. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2017-04-21rcu: Make non-preemptive schedule be Tasks RCU quiescent statePaul E. McKenney1-2/+3
Currently, a call to schedule() acts as a Tasks RCU quiescent state only if a context switch actually takes place. However, just the call to schedule() guarantees that the calling task has moved off of whatever tracing trampoline that it might have been one previously. This commit therefore plumbs schedule()'s "preempt" parameter into rcu_note_context_switch(), which then records the Tasks RCU quiescent state, but only if this call to schedule() was -not- due to a preemption.

2016-03-31rcutorture: Expedited-GP batch progress access to torturingPaul E. McKenney1-0/+2
This commit provides rcu_exp_batches_completed() and rcu_exp_batches_completed_sched() functions to allow torture-test modules to check how many expedited grace period batches have completed. These are analogous to the existing rcu_batches_completed(), rcu_batches_completed_bh(), and rcu_batches_completed_sched() functions. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2015-12-08rcu: Don't redundantly disable irqs in rcu_irq_{enter,exit}()Paul E. McKenney1-0/+2
This commit replaces a local_irq_save()/local_irq_restore() pair with a lockdep assertion that interrupts are already disabled. This should remove the corresponding overhead from the interrupt entry/exit fastpaths. This change was inspired by the fact that Iftekhar Ahmed's mutation testing showed that removing rcu_irq_enter()'s call to local_ird_restore() had no effect, which might indicate that interrupts were always enabled anyway.

2015-12-04rcu: Stop disabling interrupts in scheduler fastpathsPaul E. McKenney1-1/+1
We need the scheduler's fastpaths to be, well, fast, and unnecessarily disabling and re-enabling interrupts is not necessarily consistent with this goal. Especially given that there are regions of the scheduler that already have interrupts disabled. This commit therefore moves the call to rcu_note_context_switch() to one of the interrupts-disabled regions of the scheduler, and removes the now-redundant disabling and re-enabling of interrupts from rcu_note_context_switch() and the functions it calls.

2015-10-06rcu: Use rcu_callback_t in call_rcu*() and friendsBoqun Feng1-1/+1
As we now have rcu_callback_t typedefs as the type of rcu callbacks, we should use it in call_rcu*() and friends as the type of parameters. This could save us a few lines of code and make it clear which function requires an rcu callbacks rather than other callbacks as its argument. Besides, this can also help cscope to generate a better database for code reading. Signed-off-by: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2015-07-23rcu: Add RCU-sched flavors of get-state and cond-syncPaul E. McKenney1-0/+2
The get_state_synchronize_rcu() and cond_synchronize_rcu() functions allow polling for grace-period completion, with an actual wait for a grace period occurring only when cond_synchronize_rcu() is called too soon after the corresponding get_state_synchronize_rcu(). However, these functions work only for vanilla RCU. This commit adds the get_state_synchronize_sched() and cond_synchronize_sched(), which provide the same capability for RCU-sched.

2015-05-27rcu: Further shrink Tiny RCU by making empty functions static inlinesPaul E. McKenney1-0/+5
The Tiny RCU counterparts to rcu_idle_enter(), rcu_idle_exit(), rcu_irq_enter(), and rcu_irq_exit() are empty functions, but each has EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(), which needlessly consumes extra memory, especially in kernels built with module support. This commit therefore moves these functions to static inlines in rcutiny.h, removing the need for exports. This won't affect the size of the tiniest kernels, which are likely built without module support, but might help semi-tiny kernels that might include module support. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2015-04-22tick: Nohz: Rework next timer evaluationThomas Gleixner1-1/+1
The evaluation of the next timer in the nohz code is based on jiffies while all the tick internals are nano seconds based. We have also to convert hrtimer nanoseconds to jiffies in the !highres case. That's just wrong and introduces interesting corner cases. Turn it around and convert the next timer wheel timer expiry and the rcu event to clock monotonic and base all calculations on nanoseconds. That identifies the case where no timer is pending clearly with an absolute expiry value of KTIME_MAX. Makes the code more readable and gets rid of the jiffies magic in the nohz code.

2015-01-16rcu: Make cond_resched_rcu_qs() apply to normal RCU flavorsPaul E. McKenney1-0/+2
Although cond_resched_rcu_qs() only applies to TASKS_RCU, it is used in places where it would be useful for it to apply to the normal RCU flavors, rcu_preempt, rcu_sched, and rcu_bh. This is especially the case for workloads that aggressively overload the system, particularly those that generate large numbers of RCU updates on systems running NO_HZ_FULL CPUs. This commit therefore communicates quiescent states from cond_resched_rcu_qs() to the normal RCU flavors. Note that it is unfortunately necessary to leave the old ->passed_quiesce mechanism in place to allow quiescent states that apply to only one flavor to be recorded. (Yes, we could decrement ->rcu_qs_ctr_snap in that case, but that is not so good for debugging of RCU internals.) In addition, if one of the RCU flavor's grace period has stalled, this will invoke rcu_momentary_dyntick_idle(), resulting in a heavy-weight quiescent state visible from other CPUs.

2015-01-11rcutorture: Check from beginning to end of grace periodPaul E. McKenney1-0/+3
Currently, rcutorture's Reader Batch checks measure from the end of the previous grace period to the end of the current one. This commit tightens up these checks by measuring from the start and end of the same grace period. This involves adding rcu_batches_started() and friends corresponding to the existing rcu_batches_completed() and friends. We leave SRCU alone for the moment, as it does not yet have a way of tracking both ends of its grace periods. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The "cpu" argument to rcu_needs_cpu() is always the current CPU, so drop it. This in turn allows the "cpu" argument to rcu_cpu_has_callbacks() to be removed, which allows the uses of "cpu" in both functions to be replaced with a this_cpu_ptr(). Again, the anticipated cross-CPU uses of these functions has been replaced by NO_HZ_FULL. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
