rcu: Use rcu_callback_t in call_rcu*() and friends

2015-10-06T18:08:05Z

As we now have rcu_callback_t typedefs as the type of rcu callbacks, we should use it in call_rcu*() and friends as the type of parameters. This could save us a few lines of code and make it clear which function requires an rcu callbacks rather than other callbacks as its argument. Besides, this can also help cscope to generate a better database for code reading. Signed-off-by: Boqun Feng Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Reviewed-by: Josh Triplett

rcu: Add RCU-sched flavors of get-state and cond-sync

2015-07-22T22:26:58Z

The get_state_synchronize_rcu() and cond_synchronize_rcu() functions allow polling for grace-period completion, with an actual wait for a grace period occurring only when cond_synchronize_rcu() is called too soon after the corresponding get_state_synchronize_rcu(). However, these functions work only for vanilla RCU. This commit adds the get_state_synchronize_sched() and cond_synchronize_sched(), which provide the same capability for RCU-sched.

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner: "A rather largish update for everything time and timer related: - Cache footprint optimizations for both hrtimers and timer wheel - Lower the NOHZ impact on systems which have NOHZ or timer migration disabled at runtime. - Optimize run time overhead of hrtimer interrupt by making the clock offset updates smarter - hrtimer cleanups and removal of restrictions to tackle some problems in sched/perf - Some more leap second tweaks - Another round of changes addressing the 2038 problem - First step to change the internals of clock event devices by introducing the necessary infrastructure - Allow constant folding for usecs/msecs_to_jiffies() - The usual pile of clockevent/clocksource driver updates The hrtimer changes contain updates to sched, perf and x86 as they depend on them plus changes all over the tree to cleanup API changes and redundant code, which got copied all over the place.

rcu: Further shrink Tiny RCU by making empty functions static inlines

2015-05-27T19:59:31Z

The Tiny RCU counterparts to rcu_idle_enter(), rcu_idle_exit(), rcu_irq_enter(), and rcu_irq_exit() are empty functions, but each has EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(), which needlessly consumes extra memory, especially in kernels built with module support. This commit therefore moves these functions to static inlines in rcutiny.h, removing the need for exports. This won't affect the size of the tiniest kernels, which are likely built without module support, but might help semi-tiny kernels that might include module support. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

tick: Nohz: Rework next timer evaluation

2015-04-22T15:06:50Z

The evaluation of the next timer in the nohz code is based on jiffies while all the tick internals are nano seconds based. We have also to convert hrtimer nanoseconds to jiffies in the !highres case. That's just wrong and introduces interesting corner cases. Turn it around and convert the next timer wheel timer expiry and the rcu event to clock monotonic and base all calculations on nanoseconds. That identifies the case where no timer is pending clearly with an absolute expiry value of KTIME_MAX. Makes the code more readable and gets rid of the jiffies magic in the nohz code.

rcu: Make cond_resched_rcu_qs() apply to normal RCU flavors

2015-01-16T07:33:14Z

Although cond_resched_rcu_qs() only applies to TASKS_RCU, it is used in places where it would be useful for it to apply to the normal RCU flavors, rcu_preempt, rcu_sched, and rcu_bh. This is especially the case for workloads that aggressively overload the system, particularly those that generate large numbers of RCU updates on systems running NO_HZ_FULL CPUs. This commit therefore communicates quiescent states from cond_resched_rcu_qs() to the normal RCU flavors. Note that it is unfortunately necessary to leave the old ->passed_quiesce mechanism in place to allow quiescent states that apply to only one flavor to be recorded. (Yes, we could decrement ->rcu_qs_ctr_snap in that case, but that is not so good for debugging of RCU internals.) In addition, if one of the RCU flavor's grace period has stalled, this will invoke rcu_momentary_dyntick_idle(), resulting in a heavy-weight quiescent state visible from other CPUs.

rcutorture: Check from beginning to end of grace period

2015-01-11T03:08:02Z

Currently, rcutorture's Reader Batch checks measure from the end of the previous grace period to the end of the current one. This commit tightens up these checks by measuring from the start and end of the same grace period. This involves adding rcu_batches_started() and friends corresponding to the existing rcu_batches_completed() and friends. We leave SRCU alone for the moment, as it does not yet have a way of tracking both ends of its grace periods. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney
