Update the kvfree_call_rcu() function with head-less support.
This allows RCU to reclaim objects without an embedded rcu_head.
tree-RCU:
We introduce two chains of arrays to store SLAB-backed and vmalloc
pointers, each. Storage in either of these arrays does not require
embedding an rcu_head within the object.
Maintaining the arrays may become impossible due to high memory
pressure. For such cases there is an emergency path. Objects with
rcu_head inside are just queued on a backup rcu_head list. Later on
that list is drained. As for the head-less variant, as the current
context can sleep, the following emergency measures are applied:
a) Synchronously wait until a grace period has elapsed.
b) Call kvfree().
tiny-RCU:
For double argument calls, there are no new changes in behavior. For
single argument call, kvfree() is directly inlined on the current
stack after a synchronize_rcu() call. Note that for tiny-RCU, any
call to synchronize_rcu() is actually a quiescent state, therefore
it does nothing.

The following changes are introduced:
1. Rename rcu_invoke_kfree_callback() to rcu_invoke_kvfree_callback(),
as well as the associated trace events, so the rcu_kfree_callback(),
becomes rcu_kvfree_callback(). The reason is to be aligned with kvfree()
notation.
2. Rename __is_kfree_rcu_offset to __is_kvfree_rcu_offset. All RCU
paths use kvfree() now instead of kfree(), thus rename it.
3. Rename kfree_call_rcu() to the kvfree_call_rcu(). The reason is,
it is capable of freeing vmalloc() memory now. Do the same with
__kfree_rcu() macro, it becomes __kvfree_rcu(), the goal is the
same.

To do so, we use an array of kvfree_rcu_bulk_data structures.
It consists of two elements:
- index number 0 corresponds to slab pointers.
- index number 1 corresponds to vmalloc pointers.
Keeping vmalloc pointers separated from slab pointers makes
it possible to invoke the right freeing API for the right
kind of pointer.
It also prepares us for future headless support for vmalloc
and SLAB objects. Such objects cannot be queued on a linked
list and are instead directly into an array.

In order to reduce the dynamic need for pages in kfree_rcu(),
pre-allocate a configurable number of pages per CPU and link
them in a list. When kfree_rcu() reclaims objects, the object's
container page is cached into a list instead of being released
to the low-level page allocator.
Such an approach provides O(1) access to free pages while also
reducing the number of requests to the page allocator. It also
makes the kfree_rcu() code to have free pages available during
a low memory condition.
A read-only sysfs parameter (rcu_min_cached_objs) reflects the
minimum number of allowed cached pages per CPU.

The per-CPU variable is initialized at runtime in
kfree_rcu_batch_init(). This function is invoked before
'rcu_scheduler_active' is set to 'RCU_SCHEDULER_RUNNING'.
After the initialisation, '->initialized' is to true.
The raw_spin_lock is only acquired if '->initialized' is
set to true. The worqueue item is only used if 'rcu_scheduler_active'
set to RCU_SCHEDULER_RUNNING which happens after initialisation.
Use a static initializer for krc.lock and remove the runtime
initialisation of the lock. Since the lock can now be always
acquired, remove the '->initialized' check.

It is possible that one of the channels cannot be detached
because its free channel is busy and previously queued data
has not been processed yet. On the other hand, another
channel can be successfully detached causing the monitor
work to stop.
Prevent that by rescheduling the monitor work if there are
any channels in the pending state after a detach attempt.

To keep the kfree_rcu() code working in purely atomic sections on RT,
such as non-threaded IRQ handlers and raw spinlock sections, avoid
calling into the page allocator which uses sleeping locks on RT.
In fact, even if the caller is preemptible, the kfree_rcu() code is
not, as the krcp->lock is a raw spinlock.
Calling into the page allocator is optional and avoiding it should be
Ok, especially with the page pre-allocation support in future patches.
Such pre-allocation would further avoid the a need for a dynamically
allocated page in the first place.

On PREEMPT_RT kernels, the krcp spinlock gets converted to an rt-mutex
and causes kfree_rcu() callers to sleep. This makes it unusable for
callers in purely atomic sections such as non-threaded IRQ handlers and
raw spinlock sections. Fix it by converting the spinlock to a raw
spinlock.
Vetting all code paths, there is no reason to believe that the raw
spinlock will hurt RT latencies as it is not held for a long time.

Current RCU hard relies on smp_call_function() callbacks running from
interrupt context. A pending optimization is going to break that, it
will allow idle CPUs to run the callbacks from the idle loop. This
avoids raising the IPI on the requesting CPU and avoids handling an
exception on the receiving CPU.
Change rcu_is_cpu_rrupt_from_idle() to also accept task context,
provided it is the idle task.

There will likely be exception handlers that can sleep, which rules
out the usual approach of invoking rcu_nmi_enter() on entry and also
rcu_nmi_exit() on all exit paths. However, the alternative approach of
just not calling anything can prevent RCU from coaxing quiescent states
from nohz_full CPUs that are looping in the kernel: RCU must instead
IPI them explicitly. It would be better to enable the scheduler tick
on such CPUs to interact with RCU in a lighter-weight manner, and this
enabling is one of the things that rcu_nmi_enter() currently does.
What is needed is something that helps RCU coax quiescent states while
not preventing subsequent sleeps. This commit therefore splits out the
nohz_full scheduler-tick enabling from the rest of the rcu_nmi_enter()
logic into a new function named rcu_irq_enter_check_tick().

Same as rcu_is_watching() but without the preempt_disable/enable() pair
inside the function. It is merked noinstr so it ends up in the
non-instrumentable text section.
This is useful for non-preemptible code especially in the low level entry

preempt_schedule_notrace() thunk which triggers noinstr section warnings in

Interrupts and exceptions invoke rcu_irq_enter() on entry and need to
invoke rcu_irq_exit() before they either return to the interrupted code or
invoke the scheduler due to preemption.
The general assumption is that RCU idle code has to have preemption
disabled so that a return from interrupt cannot schedule. So the return
from interrupt code invokes rcu_irq_exit() and preempt_schedule_irq().
If there is any imbalance in the rcu_irq/nmi* invocations or RCU idle code
had preemption enabled then this goes unnoticed until the CPU goes idle or
some other RCU check is executed.
Provide rcu_irq_exit_preempt() which can be invoked from the
interrupt/exception return code in case that preemption is enabled. It
invokes rcu_irq_exit() and contains a few sanity checks in case that
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU is enabled to catch such issues directly.

The rcu_nmi_enter_common() and rcu_nmi_exit_common() functions take an
"irq" parameter that indicates whether these functions have been invoked from
an irq handler (irq==true) or an NMI handler (irq==false).
However, recent changes have applied notrace to a few critical functions
such that rcu_nmi_enter_common() and rcu_nmi_exit_common() many now rely on
in_nmi(). Note that in_nmi() works no differently than before, but rather
that tracing is now prohibited in code regions where in_nmi() would
incorrectly report NMI state.
Therefore remove the "irq" parameter and inline rcu_nmi_enter_common() and
rcu_nmi_exit_common() into rcu_nmi_enter() and rcu_nmi_exit(),
respectively.

Systems running CPU-bound real-time task do not want IPIs sent to CPUs
executing nohz_full userspace tasks. Battery-powered systems don't
want IPIs sent to idle CPUs in low-power mode. Unfortunately, RCU tasks
trace can and will send such IPIs in some cases.
Both of these situations occur only when the target CPU is in RCU
dyntick-idle mode, in other words, when RCU is not watching the
target CPU. This suggests that CPUs in dyntick-idle mode should use
memory barriers in outermost invocations of rcu_read_lock_trace()
and rcu_read_unlock_trace(), which would allow the RCU tasks trace
grace period to directly read out the target CPU's read-side state.
One challenge is that RCU tasks trace is not targeting a specific
CPU, but rather a task. And that task could switch from one CPU to
another at any time.
This commit therefore uses try_invoke_on_locked_down_task()
and checks for task_curr() in trc_inspect_reader_notrunning().
When this condition holds, the target task is running and cannot move.
If CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB=y, the new rcu_dynticks_zero_in_eqs()
function can be used to check if the specified integer (in this case,
t->trc_reader_nesting) is zero while the target CPU remains in that same
dyntick-idle sojourn. If so, the target task is in a quiescent state.
If not, trc_read_check_handler() must indicate failure so that the
grace-period kthread can take appropriate action or retry after an
appropriate delay, as the case may be.
With this change, given CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB=y, if a given
CPU remains idle or a given task continues executing in nohz_full mode,
the RCU tasks trace grace-period kthread will detect this without the
need to send an IPI.

To reduce grace periods and improve kfree() performance, we have done
batching recently dramatically bringing down the number of grace periods
while giving us the ability to use kfree_bulk() for efficient kfree'ing.
However, this has increased the likelihood of OOM condition under heavy
kfree_rcu() flood on small memory systems. This patch introduces a
shrinker which starts grace periods right away if the system is under
memory pressure due to existence of objects that have still not started
a grace period.
With this patch, I do not observe an OOM anymore on a system with 512MB
RAM and 8 CPUs, with the following rcuperf options:
rcuperf.kfree_loops=20000 rcuperf.kfree_alloc_num=8000
rcuperf.kfree_rcu_test=1 rcuperf.kfree_mult=2
Otherwise it easily OOMs with the above parameters.
NOTE:
1. On systems with no memory pressure, the patch has no effect as intended.
2. In the future, we can use this same mechanism to prevent grace periods
from happening even more, by relying on shrinkers carefully.

The rcu_nmi_enter_common() function can be invoked both in interrupt
and NMI handlers. If it is invoked from process context (as opposed
to userspace or idle context) on a nohz_full CPU, it might acquire the
CPU's leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock. Because this lock is held only
with interrupts disabled, this is safe from an interrupt handler, but
doing so from an NMI handler can result in self-deadlock.
This commit therefore adds "irq" to the "if" condition so as to only

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this cycle were:
- Continued user-access cleanups in the futex code.
- percpu-rwsem rewrite that uses its own waitqueue and atomic_t
instead of an embedded rwsem. This addresses a couple of
weaknesses, but the primary motivation was complications on the -rt
kernel.
- Introduce raw lock nesting detection on lockdep
(CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING=y), document the raw_lock vs. normal
lock differences. This too originates from -rt.
- Reuse lockdep zapped chain_hlocks entries, to conserve RAM
footprint on distro-ish kernels running into the "BUG:
MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAIN_HLOCKS too low!" depletion of the lockdep
chain-entries pool.
- Misc cleanups, smaller fixes and enhancements - see the changelog
for details"

Currently, rcu_barrier() ignores offline CPUs, However, it is possible
for an offline no-CBs CPU to have callbacks queued, and rcu_barrier()
must wait for those callbacks. This commit therefore makes rcu_barrier()
directly invoke the rcu_barrier_func() with interrupts disabled for such
CPUs. This requires passing the CPU number into this function so that
it can entrain the rcu_barrier() callback onto the correct CPU's callback
list, given that the code must instead execute on the current CPU.
While in the area, this commit fixes a bug where the first CPU's callback
might have been invoked before rcu_segcblist_entrain() returned, which
would also result in an early wakeup.

The rcu_state structure's gp_seq field is only to be modified by the RCU
grace-period kthread, which is single-threaded. This commit therefore
enlists KCSAN's help in enforcing this restriction.

Mark irq_work items with IRQ_WORK_HARD_IRQ which should be invoked in
hardirq context even on PREEMPT_RT. IRQ_WORK without this flag will be
invoked in softirq context on PREEMPT_RT.
Set ->irq_config to 1 for the IRQ_WORK items which are invoked in softirq
context so lockdep knows that these can safely acquire a spinlock_t.

The __call_rcu() function's header comment refers to a cpu argument
that no longer exists, and the comment of the return path from
rcu_nocb_try_bypass() ignores the non-no-CBs CPU case. This commit
therefore update both comments.

In default configutions, RCU currently waits at least 100 milliseconds
before asking cond_resched() and/or resched_rcu() for help seeking
quiescent states to end a grace period. But 100 milliseconds can be
one good long time during an RCU callback flood, for example, as can
happen when user processes repeatedly open and close files in a tight
loop. These 100-millisecond gaps in successive grace periods during a
callback flood can result in excessive numbers of callbacks piling up,
unnecessarily increasing memory footprint.
This commit therefore asks cond_resched() and/or resched_rcu() for help
as early as the first FQS scan when at least one of the CPUs has more
than 20,000 callbacks queued, a number that can be changed using the new
rcutree.qovld kernel boot parameter. An auxiliary qovld_calc variable
is used to avoid acquisition of locks that have not yet been initialized.
Early tests indicate that this reduces the RCU-callback memory footprint
during rcutorture floods by from 50% to 4x, depending on configuration.

The rcu_data structure's ->core_needs_qs field does not necessarily get
cleared in a timely fashion after the corresponding CPUs' quiescent state
has been reported. From a functional viewpoint, no harm done, but this
can result in excessive invocation of RCU core processing, as witnessed
by the kernel test robot, which saw greatly increased softirq overhead.
This commit therefore restores the rcu_report_qs_rdp() function's
clearing of this field, but only when running on the corresponding CPU.
Cases where some other CPU reports the quiescent state (for example, on
behalf of an idle CPU) are handled by setting this field appropriately
within the __note_gp_changes() function's end-of-grace-period checks.
This handling is carried out regardless of whether the end of a grace
period actually happened, thus handling the case where a CPU goes non-idle
after a quiescent state is reported on its behalf, but before the grace
period ends. This fix also avoids cross-CPU updates to ->core_needs_qs,
While in the area, this commit changes the __note_gp_changes() need_gp
variable's name to need_qs because it is a quiescent state that is needed
from the CPU in question.
