Accessors for the ->need_future_gp[] array are currently open-coded,
which makes them difficult to change. To improve maintainability, this
commit adds need_future_gp_mask() to compute the indexing mask from the
array size, need_future_gp_element() to access the element corresponding
to the specified grace-period number, and need_any_future_gp() to
determine if any future grace period is needed. This commit also applies
need_future_gp_element() to existing open-coded single-element accesses.

The rcu_start_future_gp() function uses a sloppy check for a grace
period being in progress, which works today because there are a number
of code sequences that resolve the resulting races. However, some of
these race-resolution code sequences must acquire the root rcu_node
structure's ->lock, and contention on that lock has started manifesting.
This commit therefore makes rcu_start_future_gp() check more precise,
eliminating the sloppy lockless check of the rcu_state structure's ->gpnum
and ->completed fields. The effect is that rcu_start_future_gp() will
sometimes unnecessarily attempt to start a new grace period, but this
overhead will be reduced later using funnel locking.

When rcu_cbs_completed() is invoked on a non-root rcu_node structure,
it unconditionally assumes that two grace periods must complete before
the callbacks at hand can be invoked. This is overly conservative because
if that non-root rcu_node structure believes that no grace period is in
progress, and if the corresponding rcu_state structure's ->gpnum field
has not yet been incremented, then these callbacks may safely be invoked
after only one grace period has completed.
This change is required to permit grace-period start requests to use
funnel locking, which is in turn permitted to reduce root rcu_node ->lock
contention, which has been observed by Nick Piggin. Furthermore, such
contention will likely be increased by the merging of RCU-bh, RCU-preempt,
and RCU-sched, so it makes sense to take steps to decrease it.
This commit therefore improves the accuracy of rcu_cbs_completed() when
invoked on a non-root rcu_node structure as described above.

Commit e31d28b6ab8f ("trace: Eliminate cond_resched_rcu_qs() in favor
of cond_resched()") substituted cond_resched() for the earlier call
to cond_resched_rcu_qs(). However, the new-age cond_resched() does
not do anything to help RCU-tasks grace periods because (1) RCU-tasks
is only enabled when CONFIG_PREEMPT=y and (2) cond_resched() is a
complete no-op when preemption is enabled. This situation results
in hangs when running the trace benchmarks.
A number of potential fixes were discussed on LKML
(https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180224151240.0d63a059@vmware.local.home),
including making cond_resched() not be a no-op; making cond_resched()
not be a no-op, but only when running tracing benchmarks; reverting
the aforementioned commit (which works because cond_resched_rcu_qs()
does provide an RCU-tasks quiescent state; and adding a call to the
scheduler/RCU rcu_note_voluntary_context_switch() function. All were
deemed unsatisfactory, either due to added cond_resched() overhead or
due to magic functions inviting cargo culting.
This commit renames cond_resched_rcu_qs() to cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs(),
which provides a clear hint as to what this function is doing and
why and where it should be used, and then replaces the call to
cond_resched() with cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs() in the trace benchmark's
benchmark_event_kthread() function.

The latency of RCU expedited grace periods grows with increasing numbers
of CPUs, eventually failing to be all that expedited. Much of the growth
in latency is in the initialization phase, so this commit uses workqueues
to carry out this initialization concurrently on a rcu_node-by-rcu_node
basis.
This change makes use of a new rcu_par_gp_wq because flushing a work
item from another work item running from the same workqueue can result
in deadlock.

RCU's expedited grace periods can participate in out-of-memory deadlocks
due to all available system_wq kthreads being blocked and there not being
memory available to create more. This commit prevents such deadlocks
by allocating an RCU-specific workqueue_struct at early boot time, and
providing it with a rescuer to ensure forward progress. This uses the
shiny new init_rescuer() function provided by Tejun (but indirectly).
This commit also causes SRCU to use this new RCU-specific
workqueue_struct. Note that SRCU's use of workqueues never blocks them
waiting for readers, so this should be safe from a forward-progress
viewpoint. Note that this moves SRCU from system_power_efficient_wq
to a normal workqueue. In the unlikely event that this results in
measurable degradation, a separate power-efficient workqueue will be
creates for SRCU.

WARN_ON_ONCE(rcu_segcblist_empty(&rdp->cblist) != (count == 0));
This commit therefore adds a comment that states that this warning

of like a double free. The comment also suggests building with
CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD=y to track down the double call_rcu().

RCU currently uses two different mechanisms for tracking irqs and NMIs.
This is unnecessary complexity: Given that NMIs can nest and given that
RCU's tracking handles such nesting, the NMI tracking mechanism can also
be used to track irqs. This commit therefore defines rcu_irq_enter()
in terms of rcu_nmi_enter() and rcu_irq_exit() in terms of rcu_nmi_exit().
Unfortunately, callers must still distinguish between the irq and NMI
functions because additional actions are taken when an irq interrupts
idle or nohz_full usermode execution, and these actions cannot always
be taken from NMI handlers.

Both extended-quiescent-state entry and exit first update the nesting
counter and then adjust the dyntick-idle state. This means that there
are four states: (1) Both nesting and dyntick idle indicate idle,
(2) Nesting indicates idle but dyntick idle does not, (3) Nesting indicates
non-idle and dyntick idle does not, and (4) Both nesting and dyntick
idle indicate non-idle. This commit simplifies the state space by
eliminating #3, reversing the order of updates on exit from extended
quiescent state.

There is some confusion as to which of cond_resched() or

This commit therefore eliminates the decision by adding RCU quiescent
states to cond_resched(). This commit also simplifies the code that
used to interact with cond_resched_rcu_qs(), and that now interacts with
cond_resched(), to reduce its overhead. This reduction is necessary to
allow the heavier-weight cond_resched_rcu_qs() mechanism to be invoked
everywhere that cond_resched() is invoked.
Part of that reduction in overhead converts the jiffies_till_sched_qs
kernel parameter to read-only at runtime, thus eliminating the need for

The read of ->dynticks_nmi_nesting in rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit()
is currently protected with READ_ONCE(). However, this protection is
unnecessary because (1) ->dynticks_nmi_nesting is updated only by the
current CPU, (2) Although NMI handlers can update this field, they reset
it back to its old value before return, and (3) Interrupts are disabled,
so nothing else can modify it. The value of ->dynticks_nmi_nesting is
thus effectively constant, and so no protection is required.
This commit therefore removes the READ_ONCE() protection from these
two accesses.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"Stack tracing and RCU has been having issues with each other and
lockdep has been pointing out constant problems.
The changes have been going into the stack tracer, but it has been
discovered that the problem isn't with the stack tracer itself, but it
is with calling save_stack_trace() from within the internals of RCU.
The stack tracer is the one that can trigger the issue the easiest,
but examining the problem further, it could also happen from a WARN()
in the wrong place, or even if an NMI happened in this area and it did
an rcu_read_lock().
The critical area is where RCU is not watching. Which can happen while
going to and from idle, or bringing up or taking down a CPU.
The final fix was to put the protection in kernel_text_address() as it
is the one that requires RCU to be watching while doing the stack
trace.
To make this work properly, Paul had to allow rcu_irq_enter() happen
after rcu_nmi_enter(). This should have been done anyway, since an NMI
can page fault (reading vmalloc area), and a page fault triggers
rcu_irq_enter().
One patch is just a consolidation of code so that the fix only needed
to be done in one location"

A number of architecture invoke rcu_irq_enter() on exception entry in
order to allow RCU read-side critical sections in the exception handler
when the exception is from an idle or nohz_full CPU. This works, at
least unless the exception happens in an NMI handler. In that case,
rcu_nmi_enter() would already have exited the extended quiescent state,
which would mean that rcu_irq_enter() would (incorrectly) cause RCU
to think that it is again in an extended quiescent state. This will
in turn result in lockdep splats in response to later RCU read-side
critical sections.
This commit therefore causes rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit() to
take no action if there is an rcu_nmi_enter() in effect, thus avoiding
the unscheduled return to RCU quiescent state. This in turn should
make the kernel safe for on-demand RCU voyeurism.

First, number of CPUs can't be negative number.
Second, different signnnedness leads to suboptimal code in the following
cases:
1)
kmalloc(nr_cpu_ids * sizeof(X));
"int" has to be sign extended to size_t.
2)
while (loff_t *pos < nr_cpu_ids)
MOVSXD is 1 byte longed than the same MOV.
Other cases exist as well. Basically compiler is told that nr_cpu_ids
can't be negative which can't be deduced if it is "int".

The rcu_idle_exit() and rcu_idle_enter() functions are exported because
they were originally used by RCU_NONIDLE(), which was intended to
be usable from modules. However, RCU_NONIDLE() now instead uses
rcu_irq_enter_irqson() and rcu_irq_exit_irqson(), which are not
exported, and there have been no complaints.
This commit therefore removes the exports from rcu_idle_exit() and
rcu_idle_enter().

All current callers of rcu_idle_enter() have irqs disabled, and
rcu_idle_enter() relies on this, but doesn't check. This commit
therefore adds a RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() to add some verification to the trust.
While we are there, pass "true" rather than "1" to rcu_eqs_enter().

All callers to rcu_idle_enter() have irqs disabled, so there is no
point in rcu_idle_enter disabling them again. This commit therefore
replaces the irq disabling with a RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN().

This commit adds assertions verifying the consistency of the rcu_node
structure's ->blkd_tasks list and its ->gp_tasks, ->exp_tasks, and
->boost_tasks pointers. In particular, the ->blkd_tasks lists must be
empty except for leaf rcu_node structures.

Set disable_rcu_irq_enter on not only rcu_eqs_enter_common() but also
rcu_eqs_exit(), since rcu_eqs_exit() suffers from the same issue as was
fixed for rcu_eqs_enter_common() by commit 03ecd3f48e57 ("rcu/tracing:
Add rcu_disabled to denote when rcu_irq_enter() will not work").

The _rcu_barrier_trace() function is a wrapper for trace_rcu_barrier(),
which needs TPS() protection for strings passed through the second
argument. However, it has escaped prior TPS()-ification efforts because
it _rcu_barrier_trace() does not start with "trace_". This commit
therefore adds the needed TPS() protection
