Execution contexts and call_rcu() and call_srcu():
* Make call_rcu() and call_srcu invocable from NMI handlers and while
holding scheduler locks (using irq-work handlers).
* Add rcutorture and BPF tests calling these functions from these
contexts.
* Disable rcutorture overload testing for RCU readers that are "fragile",
that is, that do not either disable preemption or have some form of
RCU priority boosting.
SRCU updates:
* Add an atomic SRCU where readers run with preemption disabled and
grace periods can be invoked from atomic contexts. David Woodhouse
has a patch series exploiting this for GPC.
* Add torture and lockdep tests for atomic SRCU.
* Add numerous optimizations for atomic SRCU based on the fact that it
does not have callbacks, for example, eliminating any transition to
"big" srcu_struct structures even on systems that configure these to
happen at initialization time.
Additional torture-test updates:
* Fix a divide-by-zero bug in forward-progress testing.
* Synchronously wait for all IRQ-queued callbacks to complete.
* Allow alternative "ssh" commands to be specified for use by
kvm-remote.sh.
* Fix kvm-again.sh re-run failure on PowerPC.
* Add additional lockdep testing for atomic SRCU.
* Fix error double-counting in srcu_lockdep.sh.
* Add atomic SRCU cross-CPU IRQ context mismatch testing, with the
* trick being that the atomic SRCU readers context must be at least as
strict as that of the atomic SRCU grace-period wait. So for example,
if the readers have IRQs disabled, so must the grace-period wait.
Miscellaneous updates:
* Update stallwarn.rst documentation for the re-implementation of RCU
Tasks Trace in terms of SRCU.
* Fix the lazy-callback shrink scanner budget computation so that it
honors the reclaim budget.
* Avoid panicking on RCU CPU stalls that end before the warning can
be printed.
* Add "running" and "boosted" indications to the RCU task stall warning
output.
* People have been (incorrectly) relying on rcu_barrier() to wait for
kfree_rcu() callbacks and processing. But it turns out to be easier to
fix rcu_barrier() to meet their expectations than to fix their code to
live within the earlier rcu_barrier() specification. So rcu_barrier()
now waits on kfree_rcu() callbacks and processing.
* Disable RCU Tasks console output that track when this RCU flavor
switches between per-CPU and global callback queuing. New use cases
appeared that generated enough console traffic to cause trouble, and
no one seemed to care about these messages. For those needing those
messages, there is a new rcupdate.rcu_task_collapse_debug kernel boot
parameter.
* Fix __rcu pointer attribute handling to eliminate false positives.
* Fix typos and drop redundant #include directives.
