rcu: Remove RCU CPU stall warnings from Tiny RCU

2017-06-09T01:52:45+00:00

Tiny RCU's job is to be tiny, so this commit removes its RCU CPU stall warning code. After this, there is no longer any need for rcu_sched_ctrlblk and rcu_bh_ctrlblk to be in tiny_plugin.h, so this commit also moves them to tiny.c. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

rcu: Eliminate NOCBs CPU-state Kconfig options

2017-06-09T01:52:43+00:00

The CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL, CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_NONE, and CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ZERO Kconfig options are used only in testing and are redundant with the rcu_nocbs= boot parameter. This commit therefore removes these three Kconfig options and adjusts the rcutorture scripts to use the boot parameter instead. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

rcu: Remove debugfs tracing

2017-06-09T01:52:43+00:00

RCU's debugfs tracing used to be the only reasonable low-level debug information available, but ftrace and event tracing has since surpassed the RCU debugfs level of usefulness. This commit therefore removes RCU's debugfs tracing. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

srcu: Remove Classic SRCU

2017-06-09T01:52:42+00:00

Classic SRCU was only ever intended to be a fallback in case of issues with Tree/Tiny SRCU, and the latter two are doing quite well in testing. This commit therefore removes Classic SRCU. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

rcu: Remove SPARSE_RCU_POINTER Kconfig option

2017-06-09T01:52:41+00:00

The sparse-based checking for non-RCU accesses to RCU-protected pointers has been around for a very long time, and it is now the only type of sparse-based checking that is optional. This commit therefore makes it unconditional. Reported-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Cc: Fengguang Wu

rcu: Remove the now-obsolete PROVE_RCU_REPEATEDLY Kconfig option

2017-06-09T01:52:41+00:00

The PROVE_RCU_REPEATEDLY Kconfig option was initially added due to the volume of messages from PROVE_RCU: Doing just one per boot would have required excessive numbers of boots to locate them all. However, PROVE_RCU messages are now relatively rare, so there is no longer any reason to need more than one such message per boot. This commit therefore removes the PROVE_RCU_REPEATEDLY Kconfig option. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Cc: Ingo Molnar

rcu: Remove nohz_full full-system-idle state machine

2017-06-09T01:52:39+00:00

The NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE full-system-idle capability was added in 2013 by commit 0edd1b1784cb ("nohz_full: Add full-system-idle state machine"), but has not been used. This commit therefore removes it. If it turns out to be needed later, this commit can always be reverted. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Rik van Riel Cc: Ingo Molnar Acked-by: Linus Torvalds

rcu: Remove the RCU_KTHREAD_PRIO Kconfig option

2017-06-09T01:52:39+00:00

Anything that can be done with the RCU_KTHREAD_PRIO Kconfig option can also be done with the rcutree.kthread_prio kernel boot parameter. This commit therefore removes this Kconfig option. Reported-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Rik van Riel

rcu: Remove _SLOW_ Kconfig options

2017-06-09T01:52:38+00:00

The RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT_DELAY, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT_DELAY, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_CLEANUP, and RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_CLEANUP_DELAY Kconfig options are only useful for torture testing, and there are the rcutree.gp_cleanup_delay, rcutree.gp_init_delay, and rcutree.gp_preinit_delay kernel boot parameters that rcutorture can use instead. The effect of these parameters is to artificially slow down grace period initialization and cleanup in order to make some types of race conditions happen more often. This commit therefore simplifies Tree RCU a bit by removing the Kconfig options and adding the corresponding kernel parameters to rcutorture's .boot files instead. However, this commit also leaves out the kernel parameters for TREE02, TREE04, and TREE07 in order to have about the same number of tests slowed as not slowed. TREE01, TREE03, TREE05, and TREE06 are slowed, and the rest are not slowed. Reported-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

rcutorture: Add "git diff" output to testid.txt file

2017-06-08T15:25:33+00:00

Currently, when running from a git archive, the testid.txt file contains only the branch name, the output of "git status", and the SHA-1 of the current HEAD. This is useful, but does not uniquely identify the source code that was built. This commit therefore adds the output of "git diff HEAD", which means that if two testid.txt files compare equal, they correspond to exactly the same source code. Give or take the possibility of SHA-1 collisions, that is. ;-) Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney
