The document says we can avoid extra _release() in insert function when
hlist_nulls is used, but that's not true[1]. Drop it.

The example code snippets on rculist_nulls.rst are assuming 'obj' to
have the 'hlist_head' or 'hlist_nulls_head' field named 'obj_node', but
a sentence and some code snippets are wrongly calling
'obj->obj_node.next' as 'obj->obj_next', or 'obj->obj_node' as 'member'.
Fix it.

Line numbers in code snippets in rcubarrier.rst have beed left adjusted
since commit 4af498306ffd ("doc: Convert to rcubarrier.txt to ReST").
This might have been because right adjusting them had confused Sphinx.
The rules around a literal block in reST are:
- Need a blank line above it.
- A line with the same indent level as the line above it is regarded
as the end of it.
Those line numbers can be right adjusted by keeping indents at two-
digit numbers. While at it, add some spaces between the column of line
numbers and the code area for better readability.

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Updates for timers, timekeeping and drivers:
Core:
- The timer_shutdown[_sync]() infrastructure:
Tearing down timers can be tedious when there are circular
dependencies to other things which need to be torn down. A prime
example is timer and workqueue where the timer schedules work and
the work arms the timer.
What needs to prevented is that pending work which is drained via
destroy_workqueue() does not rearm the previously shutdown timer.
Nothing in that shutdown sequence relies on the timer being
functional.
The conclusion was that the semantics of timer_shutdown_sync()
should be:
- timer is not enqueued
- timer callback is not running
- timer cannot be rearmed
Preventing the rearming of shutdown timers is done by discarding
rearm attempts silently.
A warning for the case that a rearm attempt of a shutdown timer is
detected would not be really helpful because it's entirely unclear
how it should be acted upon. The only way to address such a case is
to add 'if (in_shutdown)' conditionals all over the place. This is
error prone and in most cases of teardown not required all.
- The real fix for the bluetooth HCI teardown based on
timer_shutdown_sync().
A larger scale conversion to timer_shutdown_sync() is work in
progress.
- Consolidation of VDSO time namespace helper functions
- Small fixes for timer and timerqueue
Drivers:
- Prevent integer overflow on the XGene-1 TVAL register which causes
an never ending interrupt storm.
- The usual set of new device tree bindings
- Small fixes and improvements all over the place"

In order to make sure that a timer is not re-armed after it is stopped
before freeing, a new shutdown state is added to the timer code. The API
timer_shutdown_sync() and timer_shutdown() must be called before the
object that holds the timer can be freed.
Update the documentation to reflect this new workflow.

Although RCU can in theory be used to protect array indexes in a manner
similar to the way it protects pointers, doing so is extremely risky
because of the huge number of optimizations that modern compilers can
apply to integral types.
For but one example, if your code can be configured such that your array
contains only a single element, then indexing that array with any integer
other than zero invokes undefined behavior, which in turn means that
the compiler is within its rights to assume (without checking!) that any
integer used as an index to that array has the value zero. Therefore,
the compiler can index the array with the constant zero, which breaks
any dependencies that might have otherwise existed between the time the
actual value was loaded and the time that the array was indexed.
This commit therefore removes the arrayRCU.rst file that describes how
to go about carrying dependencies through array indexes.

Because the SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU code does not zero pages that are
to be broken up into slabs, the memory returned by kmem_cache_alloc()
must be fully initialized, including any spinlocks included in the newly
allocated structure. This means that readers attempting to look up an
SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU object must use a reference-counting approach.
A spinlock may be acquired only after a reference is obtained, which
prevents that object from being passed to kmem_struct_free(), but only
while that reference continues to be held.

The rcu_access_pointer() macro does not consult lockdep by design because
it is intended to be used outside of RCU read-side critical sections.
This commit therefore makes a separate list for it in whatisRCU.rst.
Similarly, RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN(), rcu_sleep_check(), and RCU_NONIDLE()
do not do anything with pointer access. This commit therefore creates
a separate utility-API list for them.

exp.2022.05.11a: Expedited-grace-period latency-reduction updates.
|
|
Currently both expedited and regular grace period stall warnings use
a single timeout value that with units of seconds. However, recent
Android use cases problem require a sub-100-millisecond expedited RCU CPU
stall warning. Given that expedited RCU grace periods normally complete
in far less than a single millisecond, especially for small systems,
this is not unreasonable.
Therefore introduce the CONFIG_RCU_EXP_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT kernel
configuration that defaults to 20 msec on Android and remains the same
as that of the non-expedited stall warnings otherwise. It also can be
changed in run-time via: /sys/.../parameters/rcu_exp_cpu_stall_timeout.

The RCU documentation contains old-style cross references which
do not follow the best practices outlined in doc-guide/sphinx.rst.
In addition, some of the cross references use URLs that should be replaced
by pathnames.
Update all of these cross references and adjust the surrounding words.
Summary of changes:
- out-of-date plaintext file names (*.txt) -> *.rst
- references by :ref: tags -> path names of *.rst
* use relative paths to .rst files under the RCU/ subdirectory
* use abs paths of Documentation/xxx for other .rst files
- references by URL under https://www.kernel.org/ -> paths of *.rst
- adjust surrounding words of some of updated references.
Note:
The automarkup.py script interprets references via "*.txt" as if they
were via "*.rst", so the *.txt -> *.rst changes should be regarded as
cleanups rather than bug fixes.
