2024-04-09rcu-tasks: Make Tasks RCU wait idly for grace-period delaysPaul E. McKenney1-2/+2
Currently, all waits for grace periods sleep at TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE, regardless of RCU flavor. This has worked well, but there have been cases where a longer-than-average Tasks RCU grace period has triggered softlockup splats, many of them, before the Tasks RCU CPU stall warning appears. These softlockup splats unnecessarily consume console bandwidth and complicate diagnosis of the underlying problem. Plus a long but not pathologically long Tasks RCU grace period might trigger a few softlockup splats before completing normally, which generates noise for no good reason. This commit therefore causes Tasks RCU grace periods to sleep at TASK_IDLE priority. If there really is a persistent problem, the eventual Tasks RCU CPU stall warning will flag it, and without the extra noise. Reported-by: Breno Leitao <leitao@debian.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2023-12-12rcu: Restrict access to RCU CPU stall notifiersPaul E. McKenney1-0/+6
Although the RCU CPU stall notifiers can be useful for dumping state when tracking down delicate forward-progress bugs where NUMA effects cause cache lines to be delivered to a given CPU regularly, but always in a state that prevents that CPU from making forward progress. These bugs can be detected by the RCU CPU stall-warning mechanism, but in some cases, the stall-warnings printk()s disrupt the forward-progress bug before any useful state can be obtained. Unfortunately, the notifier mechanism added by commit 5b404fdabacf ("rcu: Add RCU CPU stall notifier") can make matters worse if used at all carelessly. For example, if the stall warning was caused by a lock not being released, then any attempt to acquire that lock in the notifier will hang. This will prevent not only the notifier from producing any useful output, but it will also prevent the stall-warning message from ever appearing. This commit therefore hides this new RCU CPU stall notifier mechanism under a new RCU_CPU_STALL_NOTIFIER Kconfig option that depends on both DEBUG_KERNEL and RCU_EXPERT. In addition, the rcupdate.rcu_cpu_stall_notifiers=1 kernel boot parameter must also be specified. The RCU_CPU_STALL_NOTIFIER Kconfig option's help text contains a warning and explains the dangers of careless use, recommending lockless notifier code. In addition, a WARN() is triggered each time that an attempt is made to register a stall-warning notifier in kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_NOTIFIER=y. This combination of measures will keep use of this mechanism confined to debug kernels and away from routine deployments.

2023-01-18rcu: Track laziness during boot and suspendJoel Fernandes (Google)1-1/+39
Boot and suspend/resume should not be slowed down in kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_LAZY=y. In particular, suspend can sometimes fail in such kernels. This commit therefore adds rcu_async_hurry(), rcu_async_relax(), and rcu_async_should_hurry() functions that track whether or not either a boot or a suspend/resume operation is in progress. This will enable a later commit to refrain from laziness during those times. Export rcu_async_should_hurry(), rcu_async_hurry(), and rcu_async_relax() for later use by rcutorture.

2023-01-05rcu: Add RCU stall diagnosis informationZhen Lei1-0/+2
Because RCU CPU stall warnings are driven from the scheduling-clock interrupt handler, a workload consisting of a very large number of short-duration hardware interrupts can result in misleading stall-warning messages. On systems supporting only a single level of interrupts, that is, where interrupts handlers cannot be interrupted, this can produce misleading diagnostics. The stack traces will show the innocent-bystander interrupted task, not the interrupts that are at the very least exacerbating the stall. This situation can be improved by displaying the number of interrupts and the CPU time that they have consumed. Diagnosing other types of stalls can be eased by also providing the count of softirqs and the CPU time that they consumed as well as the number of context switches and the task-level CPU time consumed. Consider the following output given this change: rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt self-detected stall on CPU rcu: 0-....: (1250 ticks this GP) <omitted> rcu: hardirqs softirqs csw/system rcu: number: 624 45 0 rcu: cputime: 69 1 2425 ==> 2500(ms) This output shows that the number of hard and soft interrupts is small, there are no context switches, and the system takes up a lot of time. This indicates that the current task is looping with preemption disabled. The impact on system performance is negligible because snapshot is recorded only once for all continuous RCU stalls. This added debugging information is suppressed by default and can be enabled by building the kernel with CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_CPUTIME=y or by booting with rcupdate.rcu_cpu_stall_cputime=1.

2022-06-20rcu: Provide a get_completed_synchronize_rcu() functionPaul E. McKenney1-0/+13
It is currently up to the caller to handle stale return values from get_state_synchronize_rcu(). If poll_state_synchronize_rcu() returned true once, a grace period has elapsed, regardless of the fact that counter wrap might cause some future poll_state_synchronize_rcu() invocation to return false. For example, the caller might store a separate flag that indicates whether some previous call to poll_state_synchronize_rcu() determined that the relevant grace period had already ended. This approach works, but it requires extra storage and is easy to get wrong. This commit therefore introduces a get_completed_synchronize_rcu() that returns a cookie that causes poll_state_synchronize_rcu() to always return true. This already-completed cookie can be stored in place of the cookie that previously caused poll_state_synchronize_rcu() to return true. It can also be used to flag a given structure as not having been exposed to readers, and thus not requiring a grace period to elapse. This commit is in preparation for polled expedited grace periods.

2022-05-11rcu: Introduce CONFIG_RCU_EXP_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUTUladzislau Rezki1-0/+2
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.

Certain configurations (e.g., systems that make heavy use of netns) need to use synchronize_rcu_expedited() to service RCU grace periods even after boot. Even though synchronize_rcu_expedited() has been traditionally considered harmful for RT for the heavy use of IPIs, it is perfectly usable under certain conditions (e.g. nohz_full). Make rcupdate.rcu_normal_after_boot= again writeable on RT (if NO_HZ_ FULL is defined), but keep its default value to 1 (enabled) to avoid regressions. Users who need synchronize_rcu_expedited() will boot with rcupdate.rcu_normal_after_ boot=0 in the kernel cmdline.

2021-05-11rcu: Reject RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() false positivesPaul E. McKenney1-1/+1
If another lockdep report runs concurrently with an RCU lockdep report from RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN(), the following sequence of events can occur: 1. debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled() sees that lockdep is enabled when called from (say) synchronize_rcu(). 2. Lockdep is disabled by a concurrent lockdep report. 3. debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled() evaluates its lockdep-expression argument, for example, lock_is_held(&rcu_bh_lock_map). 4. Because lockdep is now disabled, lock_is_held() plays it safe and returns the constant 1. 5. But in this case, the constant 1 is not safe, because invoking synchronize_rcu() under rcu_read_lock_bh() is disallowed. 6. debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled() wrongly invokes lockdep_rcu_suspicious(), resulting in a false-positive splat. This commit therefore changes RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() to check debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled() after checking the lockdep expression, so that any "safe" returns from lock_is_held() are rejected by debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled(). This requires memory ordering, which is supplied by READ_ONCE(debug_locks). The resulting volatile accesses prevent the compiler from reordering and the fact that only one variable is being accessed prevents the underlying hardware from reordering. The combination works for IA64, which can reorder reads to the same location, but this is defeated by the volatile accesses, which compile to load instructions that provide ordering.

2021-01-05rcu: Enable rcu_normal_after_boot unconditionally for RTJulia Cartwright1-1/+3
Expedited RCU grace periods send IPIs to all non-idle CPUs, and thus can disrupt time-critical code in real-time applications. However, there is a portion of boot-time processing (presumably before any real-time applications have started) where expedited RCU grace periods are the only option. And so it is that experience with the -rt patchset indicates that PREEMPT_RT systems should always set the rcupdate.rcu_normal_after_boot kernel boot parameter. This commit therefore makes the post-boot application environment safe for real-time applications by making PREEMPT_RT systems disable the rcupdate.rcu_normal_after_boot kernel boot parameter and acting as if this parameter had been set. This means that post-boot calls to synchronize_rcu_expedited() will be treated as if they were instead calls to synchronize_rcu(), thus preventing the IPIs, and thus avoiding disrupting real-time applications.

The rcu_callback_map lockdep_map structure was added back in 2013, but its purpose has become obscure. This commit therefore documments that the purpose of rcu_callback map is, in the words of commit 24ef659a857 ("rcu: Provide better diagnostics for blocking in RCU callback functions"), to help lockdep to tie an "inappropriate voluntary context switch back to the fact that the function is being invoked from within a callback."

2020-04-27rcu-tasks: Allow rcu_read_unlock_trace() under scheduler locksPaul E. McKenney1-0/+1
The rcu_read_unlock_trace() can invoke rcu_read_unlock_trace_special(), which in turn can call wake_up(). Therefore, if any scheduler lock is held across a call to rcu_read_unlock_trace(), self-deadlock can occur. This commit therefore uses the irq_work facility to defer the wake_up() to a clean environment where no scheduler locks will be held.

2020-03-21lockdep: Introduce wait-type checksPeter Zijlstra1-6/+18
Extend lockdep to validate lock wait-type context. The current wait-types are: LD_WAIT_FREE, /* wait free, rcu etc.. */ LD_WAIT_SPIN, /* spin loops, raw_spinlock_t etc.. */ LD_WAIT_CONFIG, /* CONFIG_PREEMPT_LOCK, spinlock_t etc.. */ LD_WAIT_SLEEP, /* sleeping locks, mutex_t etc.. */ Where lockdep validates that the current lock (the one being acquired) fits in the current wait-context (as generated by the held stack). This ensures that there is no attempt to acquire mutexes while holding spinlocks, to acquire spinlocks while holding raw_spinlocks and so on. In other words, its a more fancy might_sleep(). Obviously RCU made the entire ordeal more complex than a simple single value test because RCU can be acquired in (pretty much) any context and while it presents a context to nested locks it is not the same as it got acquired in. Therefore its necessary to split the wait_type into two values, one representing the acquire (outer) and one representing the nested context (inner). For most 'normal' locks these two are the same. [ To make static initialization easier we have the rule that: .outer == INV means .outer == .inner; because INV == 0. ] It further means that its required to find the minimal .inner of the held stack to compare against the outer of the new lock; because while 'normal' RCU presents a CONFIG type to nested locks, if it is taken while already holding a SPIN type it obviously doesn't relax the rules. Below is an example output generated by the trivial test code: raw_spin_lock(&foo); spin_lock(&bar); spin_unlock(&bar); raw_spin_unlock(&foo); [ BUG: Invalid wait context ] ----------------------------- swapper/0/1 is trying to lock: ffffc90000013f20 (&bar){....}-{3:3}, at: kernel_init+0xdb/0x187 other info that might help us debug this: 1 lock held by swapper/0/1: #0: ffffc90000013ee0 (&foo){+.+.}-{2:2}, at: kernel_init+0xd1/0x187 The way to read it is to look at the new -{n,m} part in the lock description; -{3:3} for the attempted lock, and try and match that up to the held locks, which in this case is the one: -{2,2}. This tells that the acquiring lock requires a more relaxed environment than presented by the lock stack. Currently only the normal locks and RCU are converted, the rest of the lockdep users defaults to .inner = INV which is ignored. More conversions can be done when desired. The check for spinlock_t nesting is not enabled by default. It's a separate config option for now as there are known problems which are currently addressed. The config option allows to identify these problems and to verify that the solutions found are indeed solving them. The config switch will be removed and the checks will permanently enabled once the vast majority of issues has been addressed.

2020-02-21rcutorture: Allow boottime stall warnings to be suppressedPaul E. McKenney1-1/+7
In normal production, an RCU CPU stall warning at boottime is often just as bad as at any other time. In fact, given the desire for fast boot, any sort of long-term stall at boot is a bad idea. However, heavy rcutorture testing on large hyperthreaded systems can generate boottime RCU CPU stalls as a matter of course. This commit therefore provides a kernel boot parameter that suppresses reporting of boottime RCU CPU stall warnings and similarly of rcutorture writer stalls. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
2020-02-21rcutorture: Suppress forward-progress complaints during early bootPaul E. McKenney1-0/+12
Some larger systems can take in excess of 50 seconds to complete their early boot initcalls prior to spawing init. This does not in any way help the forward-progress judgments of built-in rcutorture (when rcutorture is built as a module, the insmod or modprobe command normally cannot happen until some time after boot completes). This commit therefore suppresses such complaints until about the time that init is spawned. This also includes a fix to a stupid error located by kbuild test robot.
