rcu: Force inlining of rcu_read_lock()

2019-08-04T07:33:19Z

[ Upstream commit 6da9f775175e516fc7229ceaa9b54f8f56aa7924 ] When debugging options are turned on, the rcu_read_lock() function might not be inlined. This results in lockdep's print_lock() function printing "rcu_read_lock+0x0/0x70" instead of rcu_read_lock()'s caller. For example: [ 10.579995] ============================= [ 10.584033] WARNING: suspicious RCU usage [ 10.588074] 4.18.0.memcg_v2+ #1 Not tainted [ 10.593162] ----------------------------- [ 10.597203] include/linux/rcupdate.h:281 Illegal context switch in RCU read-side critical section!

This commit therefore forces inlining of the rcu_read_lock() function so that rcu_read_lock()'s caller is instead shown. Signed-off-by: Waiman Long Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: locking and unlocking need to always be at least barriers

2019-06-11T10:22:47Z

commit 66be4e66a7f422128748e3c3ef6ee72b20a6197b upstream. Herbert Xu pointed out that commit bb73c52bad36 ("rcu: Don't disable preemption for Tiny and Tree RCU readers") was incorrect in making the preempt_disable/enable() be conditional on CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT. If CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT isn't enabled, the preemption enable/disable is a no-op, but still is a compiler barrier. And RCU locking still _needs_ that compiler barrier. It is simply fundamentally not true that RCU locking would be a complete no-op: we still need to guarantee (for example) that things that can trap and cause preemption cannot migrate into the RCU locked region. The way we do that is by making it a barrier. See for example commit 386afc91144b ("spinlocks and preemption points need to be at least compiler barriers") from back in 2013 that had similar issues with spinlocks that become no-ops on UP: they must still constrain the compiler from moving other operations into the critical region. Now, it is true that a lot of RCU operations already use READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() (which in practice likely would never be re-ordered wrt anything remotely interesting), but it is also true that that is not globally the case, and that it's not even necessarily always possible (ie bitfields etc).

rcu: Narrow early boot window of illegal synchronous grace periods

2017-01-26T07:24:37Z

commit 52d7e48b86fc108e45a656d8e53e4237993c481d upstream. The current preemptible RCU implementation goes through three phases during bootup. In the first phase, there is only one CPU that is running with preemption disabled, so that a no-op is a synchronous grace period. In the second mid-boot phase, the scheduler is running, but RCU has not yet gotten its kthreads spawned (and, for expedited grace periods, workqueues are not yet running. During this time, any attempt to do a synchronous grace period will hang the system (or complain bitterly, depending). In the third and final phase, RCU is fully operational and everything works normally. This has been OK for some time, but there has recently been some synchronous grace periods showing up during the second mid-boot phase. This code worked "by accident" for awhile, but started failing as soon as expedited RCU grace periods switched over to workqueues in commit 8b355e3bc140 ("rcu: Drive expedited grace periods from workqueue"). Note that the code was buggy even before this commit, as it was subject to failure on real-time systems that forced all expedited grace periods to run as normal grace periods (for example, using the rcu_normal ksysfs parameter). The callchain from the failure case is as follows: early_amd_iommu_init() |-> acpi_put_table(ivrs_base); |-> acpi_tb_put_table(table_desc); |-> acpi_tb_invalidate_table(table_desc); |-> acpi_tb_release_table(...) |-> acpi_os_unmap_memory |-> acpi_os_unmap_iomem |-> acpi_os_map_cleanup |-> synchronize_rcu_expedited The kernel showing this callchain was built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y, which caused the code to try using workqueues before they were initialized, which did not go well. This commit therefore reworks RCU to permit synchronous grace periods to proceed during this mid-boot phase. This commit is therefore a fix to a regression introduced in v4.9, and is therefore being put forward post-merge-window in v4.10. This commit sets a flag from the existing rcu_scheduler_starting() function which causes all synchronous grace periods to take the expedited path. The expedited path now checks this flag, using the requesting task to drive the expedited grace period forward during the mid-boot phase. Finally, this flag is updated by a core_initcall() function named rcu_exp_runtime_mode(), which causes the runtime codepaths to be used. Note that this arrangement assumes that tasks are not sent POSIX signals (or anything similar) from the time that the first task is spawned through core_initcall() time.

rcu: Provide exact CPU-online tracking for RCU

2016-08-22T16:36:57Z

Up to now, RCU has assumed that the CPU-online process makes it from CPU_UP_PREPARE to set_cpu_online() within one jiffy. Given the recent rise of virtualized environments, this assumption is very clearly obsolete. Failing to meet this deadline can result in RCU paying attention to an incoming CPU for one jiffy, then ignoring it until the grace period following the one in which that CPU sets itself online. This situation might prove to be fatally disappointing to any RCU read-side critical sections that had the misfortune to execute during the time in which RCU was ignoring the slow-to-come-online CPU. This commit therefore updates RCU's internal CPU state-tracking information at notify_cpu_starting() time, thus providing RCU with an exact transition of the CPU's state from offline to online. Note that this means that incoming CPUs must not use RCU read-side critical section (other than those of SRCU) until notify_cpu_starting() time. Note also that the CPU_STARTING notifiers -are- allowed to use RCU read-side critical sections. (Of course, CPU-hotplug notifiers are rapidly becoming obsolete, so you need to act fast!) If a given architecture or CPU family needs to use RCU read-side critical sections earlier, the call to rcu_cpu_starting() from notify_cpu_starting() will need to be architecture-specific, with architectures that need early use being required to hand-place the call to rcu_cpu_starting() at some point preceding the call to notify_cpu_starting().

rcu: Suppress sparse warnings for rcu_dereference_raw()

2016-07-06T09:51:14Z

Data structures that are used both with and without RCU protection are difficult to write in a sparse-clean manner. If you mark the relevant pointers with __rcu, sparse will complain about all non-RCU uses, but if you don't mark those pointers, sparse will complain about all RCU uses. This commit therefore suppresses sparse warnings for rcu_dereference_raw(), allowing mixed-protection data structures to avoid these warnings. Reported-by: David Howells Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Make call_rcu_tasks() tolerate first call with irqs disabled

2016-06-15T22:45:00Z

Currently, if the very first call to call_rcu_tasks() has irqs disabled, it will create the rcu_tasks_kthread with irqs disabled, which will result in a splat in the memory allocator, which kthread_run() invokes with the expectation that irqs are enabled. This commit fixes this problem by deferring kthread creation if called with irqs disabled. The first call to call_rcu_tasks() that has irqs enabled will create the kthread. This bug was detected by rcutorture changes that were motivated by Iftekhar Ahmed's mutation-testing efforts. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

rcu: Remove superfluous versions of rcu_read_lock_sched_held()

2016-03-31T20:34:50Z

Currently, we have four versions of rcu_read_lock_sched_held(), depending on the combined choices on PREEMPT_COUNT and DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC. However, there is an existing function preemptible() that already distinguishes between the PREEMPT_COUNT=y and PREEMPT_COUNT=n cases, and allows these four implementations to be consolidated down to two. This commit therefore uses preemptible() to achieve this consolidation. Note that there could be a small performance regression in the case of CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y && PREEMPT_COUNT=n. However, given the overhead associated with CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y, this should be down in the noise. Signed-off-by: Boqun Feng Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney
