rcu: Remove redundant "if" condition from rcu_gp_is_expedited()

2019-08-12T18:25:06Z

Because rcu_expedited_nesting is initialized to 1 and not decremented until just before init is spawned, rcu_expedited_nesting is guaranteed to be non-zero whenever rcu_scheduler_active == RCU_SCHEDULER_INIT. This commit therefore removes this redundant "if" equality test. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Reviewed-by: Joel Fernandes (Google)

rcu: Add support for consolidated-RCU reader checking

2019-08-09T18:00:35Z

This commit adds RCU-reader checks to list_for_each_entry_rcu() and hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(). These checks are optional, and are indicated by a lockdep expression passed to a new optional argument to these two macros. If this optional lockdep expression is omitted, these two macros act as before, checking for an RCU read-side critical section.

rcu: Remove redundant debug_locks check in rcu_read_lock_sched_held()

2019-08-01T21:17:01Z

The debug_locks flag can never be true at the end of rcu_read_lock_sched_held() because it is already checked by the earlier call todebug_lockdep_rcu_enabled(). This commit therefore removes this redundant check. Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes (Google) Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

rcu: Add kernel parameter to dump trace after RCU CPU stall warning

2019-08-01T21:05:51Z

This commit adds a rcu_cpu_stall_ftrace_dump kernel boot parameter, that, when set, causes the trace buffer to be dumped after an RCU CPU stall warning is printed. This kernel boot parameter is disabled by default, maintaining compatibility with previous behavior. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

rcutorture: Add trivial RCU implementation

2019-05-28T16:06:09Z

I have been showing off a trivial RCU implementation for non-preemptive environments for some time now: #define rcu_read_lock() #define rcu_read_unlock() #define rcu_dereference(p) READ_ONCE(p) #define rcu_assign_pointer(p, v) smp_store_release(&(p), (v)) void synchronize_rcu(void) { int cpu; for_each_online_cpu(cpu) sched_setaffinity(current->pid, cpumask_of(cpu)); } Trivial or not, as the old saying goes, "if it ain't tested, it don't work!". This commit therefore adds a "trivial" flavor to rcutorture and a corresponding TRIVIAL test scenario. This variant does not handle CPU hotplug, which is unconditionally enabled on x86 for post-v5.1-rc3 kernels, which is why the TRIVIAL.boot says "rcutorture.onoff_interval=0". This commit actually does handle CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels, but only because it turns back the Linux-kernel clock in order to provide these alternative definitions (or the moral equivalent thereof): #define rcu_read_lock() preempt_disable() #define rcu_read_unlock() preempt_enable() In CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernels without debugging, these are equivalent to empty macros give or take a compiler barrier. However, the have been successfully tested with actual empty macros as well. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Move RCU CPU stall-warning code out of update.c

2019-03-26T21:40:13Z

The RCU CPU stall-warning code for normal grace periods is currently scattered across three files, due to earlier Tiny RCU support for RCU CPU stall warnings and for old Kconfig options that have long since been retired. Given that it is hard for the lead RCU maintainer to find relevant stall-warning code, it would be good to consolidate it. This commit starts this process by moving stall-warning code from kernel/rcu/update.c to a new kernel/rcu/tree_stall.h file. Note that the definitions of rcu_cpu_stall_suppress and rcu_cpu_stall_timeout must remain in kernel/rcu/update.h to provide compatibility for kernel boot parameter lists. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

kprobes: Prohibit probing on RCU debug routine
