Prohibit probing on the functions called before kprobe_int3_handler()
in do_int3(). More specifically, ftrace_int3_handler(),
poke_int3_handler(), and ist_enter(). And since rcu_nmi_enter() is
called by ist_enter(), it also should be marked as NOKPROBE_SYMBOL.Since those are handled before kprobe_int3_handler(), probing those
functions can cause a breakpoint recursion and crash the kernel.Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu

The ever-evolving IS_ENABLED() macro is intended for CONFIG_* Kconfig

MODULE macro. In the spirit of not inviting trouble, this commit

Beyond a certain point in the CPU-hotplug offline process, timers get
stranded on the outgoing CPU, and won't fire until that CPU comes back
online, which might well be never. This commit therefore adds a hook
in torture_onoff_init() that is invoked from torture_offline(), which
rcutorture uses to occasionally wait for a grace period. This should
result in failures for RCU implementations that rely on stranded timers
eventually firing in the absence of the CPU coming back online.Reported-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior

This commit records grace periods in rcutorture's n_launders_hist[]
histogram, thus allowing rcu_torture_fwd_cb_hist() to print out the
elapsed number of grace periods between buckets. This information
helps to determine whether a lack of forward progress is due to stalled
grace periods on the one hand or due to sluggish callback invocation on
the other.Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

srcu_queue_delayed_work_on() disables preemption (and therefore CPU
hotplug in RCU's case) and then checks based on its own accounting if a
CPU is online. If the CPU is online it uses queue_delayed_work_on()
otherwise it fallbacks to queue_delayed_work().
The problem here is that queue_work() on -RT does not work with disabled
preemption.queue_work_on() works also on an offlined CPU. queue_delayed_work_on()
has the problem that it is possible to program a timer on an offlined
CPU. This timer will fire once the CPU is online again. But until then,
the timer remains programmed and nothing will happen.Add a local timer which will fire (as requested per delay) on the local
CPU and then enqueue the work on the specific CPU.RCUtorture testing with SRCU-P for 24h showed no problems.

It turns out that it is queue_delayed_work_on() rather than
queue_work_on() that has difficulties when used concurrently with
CPU-hotplug removal operations. It is therefore unnecessary to protect
CPU identification and queue_work_on() with preempt_disable().This commit therefore removes the preempt_disable() and preempt_enable()
from sync_rcu_exp_select_cpus(), which has the further benefit of reducing
the number of changes that must be maintained in the -rt patchset.Reported-by: Thomas Gleixner

Although the name rcu_process_callbacks() still makes sense for Tiny
RCU, where most of what it does is invoke callbacks, it no longer makes
much sense for Tree RCU, especially given that the actually callback
invocation is relegated to rcu_do_batch(), or, for no-CBs CPUs, to the
rcuo kthreads. Especially in the latter case, rcu_process_callbacks()
has very little to do with actual callbacks. A better description of
this function is that it performs RCU's core processing.This commit therefore changes the name of Tree RCU's rcu_process_callbacks()
function to rcu_core(), which also has the virtue of being consistent with
the existing invoke_rcu_core() function.While in the area, the header comment is reworked.

The name rcu_check_callbacks() arguably made sense back in the early
2000s when RCU was quite a bit simpler than it is today, but it has
become quite misleading, especially with the advent of dyntick-idle
and NO_HZ_FULL. The rcu_check_callbacks() function is RCU's hook into
the scheduling-clock interrupt, and is now but one of many ways that
callbacks get promoted to invocable state.This commit therefore changes the name to rcu_sched_clock_irq(),
which is the same number of characters and clearly indicates this
function's relation to the rest of the Linux kernel. In addition, for
the sake of consistency, rcu_flavor_check_callbacks() is also renamed
to rcu_flavor_sched_clock_irq().While in the area, the header comments for both functions are reworked.

Currently, __note_gp_changes() checks to see if the rcu_node structure's
->gp_seq_needed is greater than or equal to that of the rcu_data
structure, and if so, updates the rcu_data structure's ->gp_seq_needed
field. This results in a useless store in the case where the two fields
are equal.This commit therefore carries out this store only in the case where the
rcu_node structure's ->gp_seq_needed is strictly greater than that of
the rcu_data structure.Signed-off-by: "Zhang, Jun"

The rcu_gp_kthread_wake() function is invoked when it might be necessary
to wake the RCU grace-period kthread. Because self-wakeups are normally
a useless waste of CPU cycles, if rcu_gp_kthread_wake() is invoked from
this kthread, it naturally refuses to do the wakeup.Unfortunately, natural though it might be, this heuristic fails when
rcu_gp_kthread_wake() is invoked from an interrupt or softirq handler
that interrupted the grace-period kthread just after the final check of
the wait-event condition but just before the schedule() call. In this
case, a wakeup is required, even though the call to rcu_gp_kthread_wake()
is within the RCU grace-period kthread's context. Failing to provide
this wakeup can result in grace periods failing to start, which in turn
results in out-of-memory conditions.This race window is quite narrow, but it actually did happen during real
testing. It would of course need to be fixed even if it was strictly
theoretical in nature.This patch does not Cc stable because it does not apply cleanly to
earlier kernel versions.Fixes: 48a7639ce80c ("rcu: Make callers awaken grace-period kthread")

Life is hard if RCU manages to get stuck without triggering RCU CPU
stall warnings or triggering the rcu_check_gp_start_stall() checks
for failing to start a grace period. This commit therefore adds a
boot-time-selectable sysrq key (commandeering "y") that allows manually
dumping Tree RCU state. The new rcutree.sysrq_rcu kernel boot parameter
must be set for this sysrq to be available.Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

The rcu_check_gp_kthread_starvation() function can be invoked without
holding locks, so the access to the rcu_state structure's ->gp_flags

If a grace period fails to start (for example, because you commented
out the last two lines of rcu_accelerate_cbs_unlocked()), rcu_core()
will invoke rcu_check_gp_start_stall(), which will notice and complain.
However, this complaint is lacking crucial debugging information such
as when the last wakeup executed and what the value of ->gp_seq was at
that time. This commit therefore removes the current pr_alert() from
rcu_check_gp_start_stall(), instead invoking show_rcu_gp_kthreads(),
which has been updated to print the needed information, which is collected
by rcu_gp_kthread_wake().Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

It is perfectly fine to set the rcutree.jiffies_till_first_fqs boot
parameter to zero, in fact, this can be useful on specialty systems that
usually have at least one idle CPU and that need fast grace periods.
This is because this setting causes the RCU grace-period kthread to
scan for idle threads immediately after grace-period initialization,
as opposed to waiting several jiffies to do so.It is also perfectly fine to set the rcutree.rcu_kick_kthreads kernel
parameter, which gives the RCU grace-period kthread an extra wakeup
if it doesn't make progress for a period of three times the setting of
the rcutree.jiffies_till_first_fqs boot parameter. This is of course
problematic when the value of this parameter is zero, as it can result
in unnecessary wakeup IPIs along with unnecessary WARN_ONCE() invocations.This commit therefore defers kthread kicking for at least two jiffies,
regardless of the setting of rcutree.jiffies_till_first_fqs.Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

Back when there were multiple flavors of RCU, it was necessary to
separately count lazy and non-lazy callbacks for each CPU. These counts
were used in CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ kernels to determine how long a newly
idle CPU should be allowed to sleep before handling its RCU callbacks.
But now that there is only one flavor, the callback counts for a given
CPU's sole rcu_data structure are the counts for that CPU.This commit therefore removes the rcu_data structure's ->nonlazy_posted
and ->nonlazy_posted_snap fields, the rcu_idle_count_callbacks_posted()
and rcu_cpu_has_callbacks() functions, repurposes the rcu_data structure's
->all_lazy field to record the laziness state at the beginning of the
latest idle sojourn, and modifies CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ RCU CPU stall
warnings accordingly.Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

The CONFIG_PREEMPT=n and CONFIG_PREEMPT=y implementations of
synchronize_rcu_expedited() are quite similar, and with small
modifications to rcu_blocking_is_gp() can be made identical. This commit
therefore makes this change in order to save a few lines of code and to
reduce the amount of duplicate code.Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney
