<content type='text'>
Pull RCU and LKMM changes from Paul E. McKenney:

  - Documentation updates.

  - Miscellaneous fixes.

  - Dynamic tick (nohz) updates, perhaps most notably changes to
    force the tick on when needed due to lengthy in-kernel execution
    on CPUs on which RCU is waiting.

  - Replace rcu_swap_protected() with rcu_prepace_pointer().

  - Torture-test updates.

  - Linux-kernel memory consistency model updates.

<title>stop_machine: Avoid potential race behaviour</title>

<content type='text'>
Both multi_cpu_stop() and set_state() access multi_stop_data::state
racily using plain accesses. These are subject to compiler
transformations which could break the intended behaviour of the code,
and this situation is detected by KCSAN on both arm64 and x86 (splats
below).

Improve matters by using READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() to ensure that the
compiler cannot elide, replay, or tear loads and stores.

In multi_cpu_stop() the two loads of multi_stop_data::state are expected to
be a consistent value, so snapshot the value into a temporary variable to
ensure this.

The state transitions are serialized by atomic manipulation of
multi_stop_data::num_threads, and other fields in multi_stop_data are not
modified while subject to concurrent reads.

<title>stop_machine: Provide RCU quiescent state in multi_cpu_stop()</title>

<content type='text'>
When multi_cpu_stop() loops waiting for other tasks, it can trigger an RCU
CPU stall warning.  This can be misleading because what is instead needed
is information on whatever task is blocking multi_cpu_stop().  This commit
therefore inserts an RCU quiescent state into the multi_cpu_stop()
function's waitloop.

stop_machine is the only user left of cpu_relax_yield. Given that it
now has special semantics which are tied to stop_machine introduce a
weak stop_machine_yield function which architectures can override, and
get rid of the generic cpu_relax_yield implementation.

<title>s390: improve wait logic of stop_machine</title>

<id>urn:sha1:38f2c691a4b3e89d476f8e8350d1ca299974b89d</id>
<content type='text'>
The stop_machine loop to advance the state machine and to wait for all
affected CPUs to check-in calls cpu_relax_yield in a tight loop until
the last missing CPUs acknowledged the state transition.

On a virtual system where not all logical CPUs are backed by real CPUs
all the time it can take a while for all CPUs to check-in. With the
current definition of cpu_relax_yield a diagnose 0x44 is done which
tells the hypervisor to schedule *some* other CPU. That can be any
CPU and not necessarily one of the CPUs that need to run in order to
advance the state machine. This can lead to a pretty bad diagnose 0x44
storm until the last missing CPU finally checked-in.

Replace the undirected cpu_relax_yield based on diagnose 0x44 with a
directed yield. Each CPU in the wait loop will pick up the next CPU
in the cpumask of stop_machine. The diagnose 0x9c is used to tell the
hypervisor to run this next CPU instead of the current one. If there
is only a limited number of real CPUs backing the virtual CPUs we
end up with the real CPUs passed around in a round-robin fashion.

[heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com]:
    Use cpumask_next_wrap as suggested by Peter Zijlstra.

%pF and %pf are functionally equivalent to %pS and %ps conversion
specifiers. The former are deprecated, therefore switch the current users
to use the preferred variant.

The changes have been produced by the following command:

	git grep -l '%p[fF]' | grep -v '^\(tools\|Documentation\)/' | \
	while read i; do perl -i -pe 's/%pf/%ps/g; s/%pF/%pS/g;' $i; done

And verifying the result.

When cpu_stop_queue_work() releases the lock for the stopper
thread that was queued into its wake queue, preemption is
enabled, which leads to the following deadlock:

CPU0                              CPU1
sched_setaffinity(0, ...)
__set_cpus_allowed_ptr()
stop_one_cpu(0, ...)              stop_two_cpus(0, 1, ...)
cpu_stop_queue_work(0, ...)       cpu_stop_queue_two_works(0, ..., 1, ...)

-grabs lock for migration/0-
                                  -spins with preemption disabled,
                                   waiting for migration/0's lock to be
                                   released-

-adds work items for migration/0
and queues migration/0 to its
wake_q-

-releases lock for migration/0
 and preemption is enabled-

-current thread is preempted,
and __set_cpus_allowed_ptr
has changed the thread's
cpu allowed mask to CPU1 only-

                                  -acquires migration/0 and migration/1's
                                   locks-

                                  -adds work for migration/0 but does not
                                   add migration/0 to wake_q, since it is
                                   already in a wake_q-

                                  -adds work for migration/1 and adds
                                   migration/1 to its wake_q-

                                   locks, wakes migration/1, and enables
                                   preemption-

                                  -since migration/1 is requested to run,
                                   migration/1 begins to run and waits on
                                   migration/0, but migration/0 will never
                                   be able to run, since the thread that
                                   can wake it is affine to CPU1-

Disable preemption in cpu_stop_queue_work() before queueing works for
stopper threads, and queueing the stopper thread in the wake queue, to
ensure that the operation of queueing the works and waking the stopper
threads is atomic.
