commit 43789ef3f7d61aa7bed0cb2764e588fc990c30ef upstream.

Entering RCU idle mode may cause a deferred wake up of an RCU NOCB_GP
kthread (rcuog) to be serviced.

Usually a local wake up happening while running the idle task is handled
in one of the need_resched() checks carefully placed within the idle
loop that can break to the scheduler.

Unfortunately the call to rcu_idle_enter() is already beyond the last
generic need_resched() check and we may halt the CPU with a resched
request unhandled, leaving the task hanging.

Fix this with splitting the rcuog wakeup handling from rcu_idle_enter()
and place it before the last generic need_resched() check in the idle
loop. It is then assumed that no call to call_rcu() will be performed
after that in the idle loop until the CPU is put in low power mode.

commit 54b7429efffc99e845ba9381bee3244f012a06c2 upstream.

Deferred wakeup of rcuog kthreads upon RCU idle mode entry is going to
be handled differently whether initiated by idle, user or guest. Prepare
with pulling that control up to rcu_eqs_enter() callers.

[ Upstream commit 1b04fa9900263b4e217ca2509fd778b32c2b4eb2 ]

PowerPC testing encountered boot failures due to RCU Tasks not being
fully initialized until core_initcall() time.  This commit therefore
initializes RCU Tasks (along with Rude RCU and RCU Tasks Trace) just
before early_initcall() time, thus allowing waiting on RCU Tasks grace
periods from early_initcall() handlers.

<title>rcu/tree: Defer kvfree_rcu() allocation to a clean context</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9b81af9c845559f8cf9fad2dfc377e548be6da59</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 56292e8609e39537297a7468dda4d87b9bd81d6a ]

The current memmory-allocation interface causes the following difficulties
for kvfree_rcu():

a) If built with CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING, the lockdep will
   complain about violation of the nesting rules, as in "BUG: Invalid
   wait context".  This Kconfig option checks for proper raw_spinlock
   vs. spinlock nesting, in particular, it is not legal to acquire a
   spinlock_t while holding a raw_spinlock_t.

   This is a problem because kfree_rcu() uses raw_spinlock_t whereas the
   "page allocator" internally deals with spinlock_t to access to its
   zones. The code also can be broken from higher level of view:
   &lt;snip&gt;
       raw_spin_lock(&amp;some_lock);
       kfree_rcu(some_pointer, some_field_offset);
   &lt;snip&gt;

b) If built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT, spinlock_t is converted into
   sleeplock.  This means that invoking the page allocator from atomic
   contexts results in "BUG: scheduling while atomic".

c) Please note that call_rcu() is already invoked from raw atomic context,
   so it is only reasonable to expaect that kfree_rcu() and kvfree_rcu()
   will also be called from atomic raw context.

This commit therefore defers page allocation to a clean context using the
combination of an hrtimer and a workqueue.  The hrtimer stage is required
in order to avoid deadlocks with the scheduler.  This deferred allocation
is required only when kvfree_rcu()'s per-CPU page cache is empty.

Kim reported that perf-ftrace made his box unhappy. It turns out that
commit:

  ff5c4f5cad33 ("rcu/tree: Mark the idle relevant functions noinstr")

removed one too many notrace qualifiers, probably due to there not being
a helpful comment.

This commit therefore reinstates the notrace and adds a comment to avoid
losing it again.

[ Upstream commit 6dbce04d8417ae706596366e16841d77c454ba52 ]

Eugenio managed to tickle #PF from NMI context which resulted in
hitting a WARN in RCU through irqentry_enter() -&gt;
__rcu_irq_enter_check_tick().

However, this situation is perfectly sane and does not warrant an
WARN. The #PF will (necessarily) be atomic and not require messing
with the tick state, so early return is correct.  This commit
therefore removes the WARN.

Pull RCU fix from Paul McKenney:
 "A single commit that fixes a bug that was introduced a couple of merge
  windows ago, but which rather more recently converged to an
  agreed-upon fix. The bug is that interrupts can be incorrectly enabled
  while holding an irq-disabled spinlock. This can of course result in
  self-deadlocks.

  The bug is a bit difficult to trigger. It requires that a preempted
  task be blocking a preemptible-RCU grace period long enough to trigger
  an RCU CPU stall warning. In addition, an interrupt must occur at just
  the right time, and that interrupt's handler must acquire that same
  irq-disabled spinlock. Still, a deadlock is a deadlock.

  Furthermore, we do now have a fix, and that fix survives kernel test
  robot, -next, and rcutorture testing. It has also been verified by
  Sebastian as fixing the bug. Therefore..."

The try_invoke_on_locked_down_task() function requires that
interrupts be enabled, but it is called with interrupts disabled from
rcu_print_task_stall(), resulting in an "IRQs not enabled as expected"
diagnostic.  This commit therefore updates rcu_print_task_stall()
to accumulate a list of the first few tasks while holding the current
leaf rcu_node structure's -&gt;lock, then releases that lock and only then
uses try_invoke_on_locked_down_task() to attempt to obtain per-task
detailed information.  Of course, as soon as -&gt;lock is released, the
task might exit, so the get_task_struct() function is used to prevent
the task structure from going away in the meantime.

Commit ce3d31ad3cac ("arm64/smp: Move rcu_cpu_starting() earlier") ensured
that RCU is informed early about incoming CPUs that might end up calling
into printk() before they are online. However, if such a CPU fails the
early CPU feature compatibility checks in check_local_cpu_capabilities(),
then it will be powered off or parked without informing RCU, leading to
an endless stream of stalls:

  | rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:
  | rcu:	2-O...: (0 ticks this GP) idle=002/1/0x4000000000000000 softirq=0/0 fqs=2593

  | Call trace:

Ensure that the dying CPU invokes rcu_report_dead() prior to being powered
off or parked.
