bfad33230a refscale: Add SRCU-fast-updown readers
This commit adds refscale readers based on srcu_read_lock_fast_updown()
and srcu_read_unlock_fast_updown()
("refscale.scale_type=srcu-fast-updown"). On my x86 laptop, these are
about 2.2ns per pair.

81f00c462e refscale: Exercise DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU_FAST() and init_srcu_struct_fast()
This commit updates the initialization for the "srcu-fast" scale
type to use DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU_FAST() when reader_flavor is equal to
SRCU_READ_FLAVOR_FAST.

609460a6db rcutorture: Make srcu{,d}_torture_init() announce the SRCU type
This commit causes rcutorture's srcu_torture_init() and
srcud_torture_init() functions to announce on the console log
which variant of SRCU is being tortured, for example: "torture:
srcud_torture_init fast SRCU".

d3f52f53a5 srcu: Create an SRCU-fast-updown API
This commit creates an SRCU-fast-updown API, including
DEFINE_SRCU_FAST_UPDOWN(), DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU_FAST_UPDOWN(),
__init_srcu_struct_fast_updown(), init_srcu_struct_fast_updown(),
srcu_read_lock_fast_updown(), srcu_read_unlock_fast_updown(),
__srcu_read_lock_fast_updown(), and __srcu_read_unlock_fast_updown().

These are initially identical to their SRCU-fast counterparts, but both
SRCU-fast and SRCU-fast-updown will be optimized in different directions
by later commits. SRCU-fast will lack any sort of srcu_down_read() and
srcu_up_read() APIs, which will enable extremely efficient NMI safety.
For its part, SRCU-fast-updown will not be NMI safe, which will enable
reasonably efficient implementations of srcu_down_read_fast() and
srcu_up_read_fast().

This API fork happens to meet two different future use cases.

* SRCU-fast will become the reimplementation basis for RCU-TASK-TRACE
  for consolidation. Since RCU-TASK-TRACE must be NMI safe, SRCU-fast
  must be as well.

* SRCU-fast-updown will be needed for uretprobes code in order to get
  rid of the read-side memory barriers while still allowing entering the
  reader at task level while exiting it in a timer handler.

This commit also adds rcutorture tests for the new APIs.  This
(annoyingly) needs to be in the same commit for bisectability.  With this
commit, the 0x8 value tests SRCU-fast-updown.  However, most SRCU-fast
testing will be via the RCU Tasks Trace wrappers.

204ab51445 refscale: Do not disable interrupts for tests involving local_bh_enable()
Some kernel configurations prohibit invoking local_bh_enable() while
interrupts are disabled.  However, refscale disables interrupts to reduce
OS noise during the tests, which results in splats.  This commit therefore
adds an ->enable_irqs flag to the ref_scale_ops structure, and refrains
from disabling interrupts when that flag is set.  This flag is set for
the "bh" and "incpercpubh" scale_type module-parameter values.

This commit adds CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y checking to enforce the new rule that
srcu_struct structures passed to srcu_read_lock_fast() and other SRCU-fast
read-side markers be either initialized with init_srcu_struct_fast()
on the one hand or defined using either DEFINE_SRCU_FAST() or
DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU_FAST().  This will enable removal of the non-debug
read-side checks from srcu_read_lock_fast() and friends, which on my
laptop provides a 25% speedup (which admittedly amounts to about half
a nanosecond, but when tracing fastpaths...)

c5fee33f88 srcu: Make grace-period determination use ssp->srcu_reader_flavor
This commit causes the srcu_readers_unlock_idx() function to take the
srcu_struct structure's ->srcu_reader_flavor field into account.  This
ensures that structures defined via DEFINE_SRCU_FAST( or initialized via
init_srcu_struct_fast() have their grace periods use synchronize_srcu()
or synchronize_srcu_expedited() instead of smp_mb(), even before the
first SRCU reader has been entered.

ee90848499 srcu: Create a DEFINE_SRCU_FAST()
This commit creates DEFINE_SRCU_FAST() and DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU_FAST()
macros that are similar to DEFINE_SRCU() and DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU(),
but which create srcu_struct structures that are usable only by readers
initiated by srcu_read_lock_fast() and friends.

This commit does make DEFINE_SRCU_FAST() available to modules, in which
case the per-CPU srcu_data structures are not created at compile time, but
rather at module-load time.  This means that the >srcu_reader_flavor field
of the srcu_data structure is not available.  Therefore,
this commit instead creates an ->srcu_reader_flavor field in the
srcu_struct structure, adds arguments to the DEFINE_SRCU()-related
macros to initialize this new field, and extends the checks in the
__srcu_check_read_flavor() function to include this new field.

This commit also allows dynamically allocated srcu_struct structure
to be marked for SRCU-fast readers.  It does so by defining a new
init_srcu_struct_fast() function that marks the specified srcu_struct
structure for use by srcu_read_lock_fast() and friends.

34dc27f02c srcu: Create an srcu_expedite_current() function
This commit creates an srcu_expedite_current() function that expedites
the current (and possibly the next) SRCU grace period for the specified
srcu_struct structure.  This functionality will be inherited by RCU
Tasks Trace courtesy of its mapping to SRCU fast.

If the current SRCU grace period is already waiting, that wait will
complete before the expediting takes effect.  If there is no SRCU grace
period in flight, this function might well create one.

58ac42f278 srcu: Permit Tiny SRCU srcu_read_unlock() with interrupts disabled
The current Tiny SRCU implementation of srcu_read_unlock() awakens
the grace-period processing when exiting the outermost SRCU read-side
critical section.  However, not all Linux-kernel configurations and
contexts permit swake_up_one() to be invoked while interrupts are
disabled, and this can result in indefinitely extended SRCU grace periods.
This commit therefore only invokes swake_up_one() when interrupts are
enabled, and introduces polling to the grace-period workqueue handler.

d1e6d27738 rcu: Add a small-width RCU watching counter debug option
A later commit will reduce the size of the RCU watching counter to free up
some bits for another purpose. Paul suggested adding a config option to
test the extreme case where the counter is reduced to its minimum usable
width for rcutorture to poke at, so do that.

Make it only configurable under RCU_EXPERT. While at it, add a comment to
explain the layout of context_tracking->state.

67da125e30 RCU pull request for v6.18
This pull request contains the following branches, non-octopus merged:
 
 Documentation updates:
 
   - Update whatisRCU.rst and checklist.rst for recent RCU API additions.
 
   - Fix RCU documentation formatting and typos.
 
   - Replace dead Ottawa Linux Symposium links in RTFP.txt.
 
 Miscellaneous RCU updates:
 
   - Document that rcu_barrier() hurries RCU_LAZY callbacks.
 
   - Remove redundant interrupt disabling from
     rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handler().
 
   - Move list_for_each_rcu from list.h to rculist.h, and adjust the
     include directive in kernel/cgroup/dmem.c accordingly.
 
   - Make initial set of changes to accommodate upcoming system_percpu_wq
     changes.
 
 SRCU updates:
 
   - Create an srcu_read_lock_fast_notrace() for eventual use in tracing,
     including adding guards.
 
   - Document the reliance on per-CPU operations as implicit RCU readers
     in __srcu_read_{,un}lock_fast().
 
   - Document the srcu_flip() function's memory-barrier D's relationship
     to SRCU-fast readers.
 
   - Remove a redundant preempt_disable() and preempt_enable() pair from
     srcu_gp_start_if_needed().
 
 Torture-test updates:
 
   - Fix jitter.sh spin time so that it actually varies as advertised.
     It is still quite coarse-grained, but at least it does now vary.
 
   - Update torture.sh help text to include the not-so-new --do-normal
     parameter, which permits (for example) testing KCSAN kernels without
     doing non-debug kernels.
 
   - Fix a number of false-positive diagnostics that were being triggered
     by rcutorture starting before boot completed.  Running multiple
     near-CPU-bound rcutorture processes when there is only the boot CPU
     is after all a bit excessive.
 
   - Substitute kcalloc() for kzalloc().
 
   - Remove a redundant kfree() and NULL out kfree()ed objects.

82c427bc93 rcu: WQ_UNBOUND added to sync_wq workqueue
Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the
used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This lack of consistentcy cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.

alloc_workqueue() treats all queues as per-CPU by default, while unbound
workqueues must opt-in via WQ_UNBOUND.

This default is suboptimal: most workloads benefit from unbound queues,
allowing the scheduler to place worker threads where they’re needed and
reducing noise when CPUs are isolated.

This change add the WQ_UNBOUND flag to sync_wq, to make explicit this
workqueue can be unbound and that it does not benefit from per-cpu work.

Once migration is complete, WQ_UNBOUND can be removed and unbound will
become the implicit default.

With the introduction of the WQ_PERCPU flag (equivalent to !WQ_UNBOUND),
any alloc_workqueue() caller that doesn’t explicitly specify WQ_UNBOUND
must now use WQ_PERCPU.

system_wq is a per-CPU worqueue, yet nothing in its name tells about that

The old wq will be kept for a few release cylces.

1441edd129 refperf: Set reader_tasks to NULL after kfree()
Set reader_tasks to NULL after kfree() in ref_scale_cleanup() to
improve debugging experience with kernel debugging tools. This
follows the common pattern of NULLing pointers after freeing to
avoid dangling pointer issues during debugging sessions.

Setting pointers to NULL after freeing helps debugging tools like
kdgb,drgn, and other kernel debuggers by providing clear indication
that the memory has been freed and the pointer is no longer valid.

fb7855a6b5 refperf: Remove redundant kfree() after torture_stop_kthread()
Remove unnecessary kfree(main_task) call in ref_scale_cleanup() as
torture_stop_kthread() already handles the memory cleanup for the
task structure internally.

The additional kfree(main_task) call after torture_stop_kthread()
is redundant and confusing since torture_stop_kthread() sets the
pointer to NULL, making this a no-op.

This pattern is consistent with other torture test modules where
torture_stop_kthread() is called without explicit kfree() of the
task pointer, as the torture framework manages the task lifecycle
internally.

1b0f583843 rcutorture: Suppress "Writer stall state" reports during boot
When rcutorture is running on only the one boot-time CPU while that CPU
is busy invoking initcall() functions, the added load is quite likely to
unduly delay the RCU grace-period kthread, rcutorture readers, and much
else besides.  This can result in rcu_torture_stats_print() reporting
rcutorture writer stalls, which are not really a bug in that environment.
After all, one CPU can only do so much.

This commit therefore suppresses rcutorture writer stalls while the
kernel is booting, that is, while rcu_inkernel_boot_has_ended() continues
returning false.

61399e0c54 rcu: Fix racy re-initialization of irq_work causing hangs
RCU re-initializes the deferred QS irq work everytime before attempting
to queue it. However there are situations where the irq work is
attempted to be queued even though it is already queued. In that case
re-initializing messes-up with the irq work queue that is about to be
handled.

The chances for that to happen are higher when the architecture doesn't
support self-IPIs and irq work are then all lazy, such as with the
following sequence:

1) rcu_read_unlock() is called when IRQs are disabled and there is a
   grace period involving blocked tasks on the node. The irq work
   is then initialized and queued.

2) The related tasks are unblocked and the CPU quiescent state
   is reported. rdp->defer_qs_iw_pending is reset to DEFER_QS_IDLE,
   allowing the irq work to be requeued in the future (note the previous
   one hasn't fired yet).

3) A new grace period starts and the node has blocked tasks.

4) rcu_read_unlock() is called when IRQs are disabled again. The irq work
   is re-initialized (but it's queued! and its node is cleared) and
   requeued. Which means it's requeued to itself.

5) The irq work finally fires with the tick. But since it was requeued
   to itself, it loops and hangs.

Fix this with initializing the irq work only once before the CPU boots.

5d71c2b53f rcu: Document concurrent quiescent state reporting for offline CPUs
The synchronization of CPU offlining with GP initialization is confusing
to put it mildly (rightfully so as the issue it deals with is complex).
Recent discussions brought up a question -- what prevents the
rcu_implicit_dyntick_qs() from warning about QS reports for offline
CPUs (missing QS reports for offline CPUs causing indefinite hangs).

QS reporting for now-offline CPUs should only happen from:
- gp_init()
- rcutree_cpu_report_dead()

Add some documentation on this and refer to it from comments in the code
explaining how QS reporting is not missed when these functions are
concurrently running.

I referred heavily to this post [1] about the need for the ofl_lock.

463d46044f rcu: Fix delayed execution of hurry callbacks
We observed a regression in our customer’s environment after enabling
CONFIG_LAZY_RCU. In the Android Update Engine scenario, where ioctl() is
used heavily, we found that callbacks queued via call_rcu_hurry (such as
percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic_rcu) can sometimes be delayed by up to 5
seconds before execution. This occurs because the new grace period does
not start immediately after the previous one completes.

The root cause is that the wake_nocb_gp_defer() function now checks
"rdp->nocb_defer_wakeup" instead of "rdp_gp->nocb_defer_wakeup". On CPUs
that are not rcuog, "rdp->nocb_defer_wakeup" may always be
RCU_NOCB_WAKE_NOT. This can cause "rdp_gp->nocb_defer_wakeup" to be
downgraded and the "rdp_gp->nocb_timer" to be postponed by up to 10
seconds, delaying the execution of hurry RCU callbacks.

The trace log of one scenario we encountered is as follow:
  // previous GP ends at this point
  rcu_preempt   [000] d..1.   137.240210: rcu_grace_period: rcu_preempt 8369 end
  rcu_preempt   [000] .....   137.240212: rcu_grace_period: rcu_preempt 8372 reqwait

  // and the rdp_gp->nocb_defer_wakeup is set to RCU_NOCB_WAKE
  update_engine [002] d..2.   137.301595: rcu_nocb_wake: rcu_preempt 2 FirstQ on cpu2 with rdp_gp (cpu0).
  // FirstBQ event on cpu2 during the 1 jiffy, make the timer postpond 10 seconds later.
  // also, the rdp_gp->nocb_defer_wakeup is overwrite to RCU_NOCB_WAKE_LAZY

This patch changes the condition to check "rdp_gp->nocb_defer_wakeup" in
the lazy path. This prevents an already scheduled "rdp_gp->nocb_timer"
from being postponed and avoids overwriting "rdp_gp->nocb_defer_wakeup"
when it is not RCU_NOCB_WAKE_NOT.

3aea745a2a srcu: Expedite SRCU-fast grace periods
Currently, SRCU-fast grace periods use synchronize_rcu() to provide the
needed ordering with readers, even given an expedited SRCU-fast grace
period, which isn't all that expedited.  This commit therefore instead
uses synchronize_rcu_expedited() if there is an expedited SRCU-fast
grace period in flight.

Of course, given an non-expedited SRCU-fast grace period blocked in
synchronize_rcu(), a later request for an expedited SRCU-fast grace
period will wait for that synchronize_rcu() to return before switching
to use of synchronize_rcu_expedited().  If this turns out to be a real
problem for a production workload, we can increase the complexity (but
likely also degrade the energy efficiency) to speed things up further.

941ab0b369 rcutorture: Remove support for SRCU-lite
Because SRCU-lite is being replaced by SRCU-fast, this commit removes
support for SRCU-lite from rcutorture.c

Both SRCU-lite and SRCU-fast provide faster readers by dropping the
smp_mb() call from their lock and unlock primitives, but incur a pair
of added RCU grace periods during the SRCU grace period.  There is a
trivial mapping from the SRCU-lite API to that of SRCU-fast, so there
should be no transition issues.

b41642c877 rcu: Fix rcu_read_unlock() deadloop due to IRQ work
During rcu_read_unlock_special(), if this happens during irq_exit(), we
can lockup if an IPI is issued. This is because the IPI itself triggers
the irq_exit() path causing a recursive lock up.

This is precisely what Xiongfeng found when invoking a BPF program on
the trace_tick_stop() tracepoint As shown in the trace below. Fix by
managing the irq_work state correctly.

irq_exit()
  __irq_exit_rcu()
    /* in_hardirq() returns false after this */
    preempt_count_sub(HARDIRQ_OFFSET)
    tick_irq_exit()
      tick_nohz_irq_exit()
	    tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick()
	      trace_tick_stop()  /* a bpf prog is hooked on this trace point */
		   __bpf_trace_tick_stop()
		      bpf_trace_run2()
			    rcu_read_unlock_special()
                              /* will send a IPI to itself */
			      irq_work_queue_on(&rdp->defer_qs_iw, rdp->cpu);

A simple reproducer can also be obtained by doing the following in
tick_irq_exit(). It will hang on boot without the patch:

  static inline void tick_irq_exit(void)
  {
 +	rcu_read_lock();
 +	WRITE_ONCE(current->rcu_read_unlock_special.b.need_qs, true);
 +	rcu_read_unlock();

Automatically enable the rcu_normal_wake_from_gp parameter on
systems with a small number of CPUs. The activation threshold
is set to 16 CPUs.

This helps to reduce a latency of normal synchronize_rcu() API
by waking up GP-waiters earlier and decoupling synchronize_rcu()
callers from regular callback handling.

A benchmark running 64 parallel jobs(system with 64 CPUs) invoking
synchronize_rcu() demonstrates a notable latency reduction with the
setting enabled.

90c09d57ca rcu: Protect ->defer_qs_iw_pending from data race
On kernels built with CONFIG_IRQ_WORK=y, when rcu_read_unlock() is
invoked within an interrupts-disabled region of code [1], it will invoke
rcu_read_unlock_special(), which uses an irq-work handler to force the
system to notice when the RCU read-side critical section actually ends.
That end won't happen until interrupts are enabled at the soonest.

In some kernels, such as those booted with rcutree.use_softirq=y, the
irq-work handler is used unconditionally.

The per-CPU rcu_data structure's ->defer_qs_iw_pending field is
updated by the irq-work handler and is both read and updated by
rcu_read_unlock_special().  This resulted in the following KCSAN splat:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The problem is that irq-work handlers run with interrupts enabled, which
means that rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handler() could be interrupted,
and that interrupt handler might contain an RCU read-side critical
section, which might invoke rcu_read_unlock_special().  In the strict
KCSAN mode of operation used by RCU, this constitutes a data race on
the ->defer_qs_iw_pending field.

This commit therefore disables interrupts across the portion of the
rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handler() that updates the ->defer_qs_iw_pending
field.  This suffices because this handler is not a fast path.

1bba3900ca rcu/nocb: Fix possible invalid rdp's->nocb_cb_kthread pointer access
In the preparation stage of CPU online, if the corresponding
the rdp's->nocb_cb_kthread does not exist, will be created,
there is a situation where the rdp's rcuop kthreads creation fails,
and then de-offload this CPU's rdp, does not assign this CPU's
rdp->nocb_cb_kthread pointer, but this rdp's->nocb_gp_rdp and
rdp's->rdp_gp->nocb_gp_kthread is still valid.

This will cause the subsequent re-offload operation of this offline
CPU, which will pass the conditional check and the kthread_unpark()
will access invalid rdp's->nocb_cb_kthread pointer.

This commit therefore use rdp's->nocb_gp_kthread instead of
rdp_gp's->nocb_gp_kthread for safety check.

fc39760cd0 rcu/exp: Warn on QS requested on dying CPU
It is not possible to send an IPI to a dying CPU that has passed the
CPUHP_TEARDOWN_CPU stage. Remaining unhandled IPIs are handled later at
CPUHP_AP_SMPCFD_DYING stage by stop machine. This is the last
opportunity for RCU exp handler to request an expedited quiescent state.
And the upcoming final context switch between stop machine and idle must
have reported the requested context switch.

Therefore, it should not be possible to observe a pending requested
expedited quiescent state when RCU finally stops watching the outgoing
CPU. Once IPIs aren't possible anymore, the QS for the target CPU will
be reported on its behalf by the RCU exp kworker.

Provide an assertion to verify those expectations.

bf0a57445d rcu/exp: Remove needless CPU up quiescent state report
A CPU coming online checks for an ongoing grace period and reports
a quiescent state accordingly if needed. This special treatment that
shortcuts the expedited IPI finds its origin as an optimization purpose
on the following commit:

	338b0f760e (rcu: Better hotplug handling for synchronize_sched_expedited()

The point is to avoid an IPI while waiting for a CPU to become online
or failing to become offline.

However this is pointless and even error prone for several reasons:

* If the CPU has been seen offline in the first round scanning offline
  and idle CPUs, no IPI is even tried and the quiescent state is
  reported on behalf of the CPU.

* This means that if the IPI fails, the CPU just became offline. So
  it's unlikely to become online right away, unless the cpu hotplug
  operation failed and rolled back, which is a rare event that can
  wait a jiffy for a new IPI to be issued.

* But then the "optimization" applying on failing CPU hotplug down only
  applies to !PREEMPT_RCU.

* This force reports a quiescent state even if ->cpu_no_qs.b.exp is not
  set. As a result it can race with remote QS reports on the same rdp.
  Fortunately it happens to be OK but an accident is waiting to happen.

For all those reasons, remove this optimization that doesn't look worthy
to keep around.

4b9432ed65 rcu/exp: Remove confusing needless full barrier on task unblock
A full memory barrier in the RCU-PREEMPT task unblock path advertizes
to order the context switch (or rather the accesses prior to
rcu_read_unlock()) with the expedited grace period fastpath.

However the grace period can not complete without the rnp calling into
rcu_report_exp_rnp() with the node locked. This reports the quiescent
state in a fully ordered fashion against updater's accesses thanks to:

1) The READ-SIDE smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() barrier across nodes
   locking while propagating QS up to the root.

2) The UPDATE-SIDE smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() barrier while holding the
   the root rnp to wait/check for the GP completion.

3) The (perhaps redundant given step 1) and 2)) smp_mb() in rcu_seq_end()
   before the grace period completes.

This makes the explicit barrier in this place superfluous. Therefore
remove it as it is confusing.

in certain combinations, can lead to multiplication overflow.

Besides, loops parameter is defined as long, while through the code is
used as int, which can cause truncation on 64-bit kernels and possible
zeroes where they shouldn't appear.

Since code uses result of multiplication as int anyway, it only makes sense
to replace loops with int. Multiplication overflow check is also added
due to possible multiplication between two very big numbers.

onoff_interval or shuffle_interval are non-zero, and then sets them to

635bdb9d22 rcutorture: Start rcu_torture_writer() after rcu_torture_reader()
Testing of rcutorture's SRCU-P scenario on a large arm64 system resulted
in rcu_torture_writer() forward-progress failures, but these same tests
passed on x86.  After some off-list discussion of possible memory-ordering
causes for these failures, Boqun showed that these were in fact due to
reordering, but by the scheduler, not by the memory system.  On x86,
rcu_torture_writer() would have run quickly enough that by the time
the rcu_torture_updown() kthread started, the rcu_torture_current
variable would already be initialized, thus avoiding a bug in which
a NULL value would cause rcu_torture_updown() to do an extra call to
srcu_up_read_fast().

This commit therefore moves creation of the rcu_torture_writer() kthread
after that of the rcu_torture_reader() kthreads.  This results in
deterministic failures on x86.

What about the double-srcu_up_read_fast() bug?  Boqun has the fix.
But let's also fix the test while we are at it!

3dfdfaff2d rcu: Robustify rcu_is_cpu_rrupt_from_idle()
RCU relies on the context tracking nesting counter in order to determine
if it is running in extended quiescent state.

However the context tracking nesting counter is not completely
synchronized with the actual context tracking state:

* The nesting counter is set to 1 or incremented further _after_ the
  actual state is set to RCU watching.

* The nesting counter is set to 0 or decremented further _before_ the
  actual state is set to RCU not watching.

Therefore it is safe to assume that if ct_nesting() > 0, RCU is
watching. But if ct_nesting() <= 0, RCU is not watching except for tiny
windows.

This hasn't been a problem so far because rcu_is_cpu_rrupt_from_idle()
has only been called from interrupts. However the code is confusing
and abuses the role of the context tracking nesting counter while there
are more accurate indicators available.

Clarify and robustify accordingly.

f2e555fc04 rcu/exp: Protect against early QS report
When a grace period is started, the ->expmask of each node is set up
from sync_exp_reset_tree(). Then later on each leaf node also initialize
its ->exp_tasks pointer.

This means that the initialization of the quiescent state of a node and
the initialization of its blocking tasks happen with an unlocked node
gap in-between.

It happens to be fine because nothing is expected to report an exp
quiescent state within this gap, since no IPI have been issued yet and
every rdp's ->cpu_no_qs.b.exp should be false.

However if it were to happen by accident, the quiescent state could be
reported and propagated while ignoring tasks that blocked _before_ the
start of the grace period.

Prevent such trouble to happen in the future and initialize both the
quiescent states mask to report and the blocked tasks head from the same
node locked block.

If a task blocks within an RCU read side critical section before
sync_exp_reset_tree() is called and is then unblocked between
sync_exp_reset_tree() and __sync_rcu_exp_select_node_cpus(), the QS

cb444006a6 sched_ext, rcu: Eject BPF scheduler on RCU CPU stall panic
For systems using a sched_ext scheduler and has panic_on_rcu_stall
enabled, try kicking out the current scheduler before issuing a panic.

While there are numerous reasons for RCU CPU stalls that are not
directly attributed to the scheduler, deferring the panic gives
sched_ext an opportunity to provide additional debug info when ejecting
the current scheduler. Also, handling the event more gracefully allows
us to potentially recover the system instead of incurring additional
down time.

33b6a1f155 rcu: Return early if callback is not specified
Currently the call_rcu() API does not check whether a callback
pointer is NULL. If NULL is passed, rcu_core() will try to invoke
it, resulting in NULL pointer dereference and a kernel crash.

To prevent this and improve debuggability, this patch adds a check
for NULL and emits a kernel stack trace to help identify a faulty
caller.

aafe12f980 rcutorture: Perform more frequent testing of ->gpwrap
Currently, the ->gpwrap is not tested (at all per my testing) due to the
requirement of a large delta between a CPU's rdp->gp_seq and its node's
rnp->gpseq.

This results in no testing of ->gpwrap being set. This patch by default
adds 5 minutes of testing with ->gpwrap forced by lowering the delta
between rdp->gp_seq and rnp->gp_seq to just 8 GPs. All of this is
configurable, including the active time for the setting and a full
testing cycle.

By default, the first 25 minutes of a test will have the _default_
behavior there is right now (ULONG_MAX / 4) delta. Then for 5 minutes,
we switch to a smaller delta causing 1-2 wraps in 5 minutes. I believe
this is reasonable since we at least add a little bit of testing for
usecases where ->gpwrap is set.

ed0d0db095 rcutorture: Comment invocations of tick_dep_set_task()
The rcu_torture_reader() and rcu_torture_fwd_prog_cr() functions
run CPU-bound for extended periods of time (tens or even
hundreds of milliseconds), so they invoke tick_dep_set_task() and
tick_dep_clear_task() to ensure that the scheduling-clock tick helps
move grace periods forward.

So why doesn't rcu_torture_fwd_prog_nr() also invoke tick_dep_set_task()
and tick_dep_clear_task()?  Because the point of this function is to test
RCU's ability to (eventually) force grace periods forward even when the
tick has been disabled during long CPU-bound kernel execution.

f50ad4b73e srcu: Use rcu_seq_done_exact() for polling API
poll_state_synchronize_srcu() uses rcu_seq_done() unlike
poll_state_synchronize_rcu() which uses rcu_seq_done_exact().

The  rcu_seq_done_exact() makes more sense for polling API, as with
this API, there is a higher chance that there is a significant delay
between the get_state..() and poll_state..() calls since a cookie
can be stored and reused at a later time. During such a delay, if
the gp_seq counter progresses more than ULONG_MAX/2 distance, then
poll_state..() may return false for a long time unwantedly.

Fix by using the more accurate rcu_seq_done_exact() API which is
exactly what straight RCU's polling does.

It may make sense, as future work, to add debug code here as well, where
we compare a physical timestamp between get_state..() and poll_state()
calls and yell if significant time has past but the grace period has
still not progressed.

4d949edbc4 rcu: Comment on the extraneous delta test on rcu_seq_done_exact()
The numbers used in rcu_seq_done_exact() lack some explanation behind
their magic. Especially after the commit:

    85aad7cc41 ("rcu: Fix get_state_synchronize_rcu_full() GP-start detection")

which reported a subtle issue where a new GP sequence snapshot was taken
on the root node state while a grace period had already been started and
reflected on the global state sequence but not yet on the root node
sequence, making a polling user waiting on a wrong already started grace
period that would ignore freshly online CPUs.

The fix involved taking the snaphot on the global state sequence and
waiting on the root node sequence. And since a grace period is first
started on the global state and only afterward reflected on the root
node, a snapshot taken on the global state sequence might be two full
grace periods ahead of the root node as in the following example:

rnp->gp_seq = rcu_state.gp_seq = 0

    CPU 0                                           CPU 1
    -----                                           -----
    // rcu_state.gp_seq = 1
    rcu_seq_start(&rcu_state.gp_seq)
                                                    // snap = 8
                                                    snap = rcu_seq_snap(&rcu_state.gp_seq)
                                                    // Two full GP differences
                                                    rcu_seq_done_exact(&rnp->gp_seq, snap)
    // rnp->gp_seq = 1
    WRITE_ONCE(rnp->gp_seq, rcu_state.gp_seq);

Add a comment about those expectations and to clarify the magic within
the relevant function.

Note that the issue arises mainly with the use of rcu_seq_done_exact()
which has a much tigher guardband (of 2 GPs) to ensure the false-negative
window of the API during wraparound is limited to just 2 GPs.
rcu_seq_done() does not have such strict requirements, however its large
false-negative window of ULONG_MAX/2 is not ideal for the polling API.
However, this also means care is needed to ensure the guardband is as
large as needed to avoid the example scenario describe above which a
warning added in an earlier patch does.

9c94c5ad39 rcu: Replace magic number with meaningful constant in rcu_seq_done_exact()
The rcu_seq_done_exact() function checks if a grace period has completed by
comparing sequence numbers. It includes a guard band to handle sequence number
wraparound, which was previously expressed using the magic number calculation
'3 * RCU_SEQ_STATE_MASK + 1'.

This magic number is not immediately obvious in terms of what it represents.

Instead, the reason we need this tiny guardband is because of the lag between
the setting of rcu_state.gp_seq_polled and root rnp's gp_seq in rcu_gp_init().

This guardband needs to be at least 2 GPs worth of counts, to avoid recognizing
the newly started GP as completed immediately, due to the following sequence
which arises due to the delay between update of rcu_state.gp_seq_polled and
root rnp's gp_seq:

rnp->gp_seq = rcu_state.gp_seq = 0

    CPU 0                                           CPU 1
    -----                                           -----
    // rcu_state.gp_seq = 1
    rcu_seq_start(&rcu_state.gp_seq)
                                                    // snap = 8
                                                    snap = rcu_seq_snap(&rcu_state.gp_seq)
                                                    // Two full GP differences
                                                    rcu_seq_done_exact(&rnp->gp_seq, snap)
    // rnp->gp_seq = 1
    WRITE_ONCE(rnp->gp_seq, rcu_state.gp_seq);

This can happen due to get_state_synchronize_rcu_full() sampling
rcu_state.gp_seq_polled, however the poll_state_synchronize_rcu_full()
sampling the root rnp's gp_seq. The delay between the update of the 2
counters occurs in rcu_gp_init() during which the counters briefly go
out of sync.

Make the guardband explictly 2 GPs. This improves code readability and
maintainability by making the intent clearer as well.

e73e5b7c1a rcutorture: Split out beginning and end from rcu_torture_one_read()
The rcu_torture_one_read() function is designed for RCU readers that are
confined to a task, such that a single thread of control extends from the
beginning of a given RCU read-side critical section to its end.  This does
not suffice for things like srcu_down_read() and srcu_up_read(), where
the critical section might start at task level and end in a timer handler.

This commit therefore creates separate init_rcu_torture_one_read_state(),
rcu_torture_one_read_start(), and rcu_torture_one_read_end() functions,
along with a rcu_torture_one_read_state structure to coordinate their
actions.  These will be used to create tests for srcu_down_read()
and friends.

One caution:  The caller to rcu_torture_one_read_start() must enter the
initial read-side critical section prior to the call.  This enables use
of non-standard primitives such as srcu_down_read() while still using
the same validation code.

8fa7292fee treewide: Switch/rename to timer_delete[_sync]()
timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree
over and remove the historical wrapper inlines.

Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary.
