The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of tree.c is:
init/Kconfig:config TREE_RCU
init/Kconfig: bool
...and update.c and sync.c are "obj-y" meaning that none are ever
built as a module by anyone.
Since MODULE_ALIAS is a no-op for non-modular code, we can remove
them from these files.
We leave moduleparam.h behind since the files instantiate some boot
time configuration parameters with module_param() still.

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.

callbacks
When activating a static object we need make sure that the object is
tracked in the object tracker. If it is a non-static object then the
activation is illegal.
In previous implementation, each subsystem need take care of this in
their fixup callbacks. Actually we can put it into debugobjects core.
Thus we can save duplicated code, and have *pure* fixup callbacks.
To achieve this, a new callback "is_static_object" is introduced to let
the type specific code decide whether a object is static or not. If
yes, we take it into object tracker, otherwise give warning and invoke
fixup callback.
This change has paassed debugobjects selftest, and I also do some test
with all debugobjects supports enabled.
At last, I have a concern about the fixups that can it change the object
which is in incorrect state on fixup? Because the 'addr' may not point
to any valid object if a non-static object is not tracked. Then Change
such object can overwrite someone's memory and cause unexpected
behaviour. For example, the timer_fixup_activate bind timer to function
stub_timer.

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.

The rcu_expedited, rcu_normal, and rcu_normal_after_boot kernel boot
parameters are pointless in the case of TINY_RCU because in that case
synchronous grace periods, both expedited and normal, are no-ops.
However, these three symbols contribute several hundred bytes of bloat.
This commit therefore uses CPP directives to avoid compiling this code
in TINY_RCU kernels.

Expedited grace periods can speed up boot, but are undesirable in
aggressive real-time systems. This commit therefore introduces a
kernel parameter rcupdate.rcu_normal_after_boot that disables
expedited grace periods just before init is spawned.

Although expedited grace periods can be quite useful, and although their
OS jitter has been greatly reduced, they can still pose problems for
extreme real-time workloads. This commit therefore adds a rcu_normal
kernel boot parameter (which can also be manipulated via sysfs)
to suppress expedited grace periods, that is, to treat requests for
expedited grace periods as if they were requests for normal grace periods.
If both rcu_expedited and rcu_normal are specified, rcu_normal wins.
This means that if you are relying on expedited grace periods to speed up
boot, you will want to specify rcu_expedited on the kernel command line,
and then specify rcu_normal via sysfs once boot completes.

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.

There have been several requests for a primitive that waits for
grace periods for several RCU flavors concurrently, so this
commit creates it. This is a variadic macro, and you pass in
the call_rcu() functions of the flavors of RCU that you wish to
wait for.
Note that you cannot pass in call_srcu() for two reasons: (1) This
would result in a type mismatch and (2) You need to specify which
srcu_struct you want to use. Handle this by creating a wrapper
function for your SRCU domain, for example:
void call_srcu_mine(struct rcu_head *head, rcu_callback_t func)
{
call_srcu(&ss_mine, head, func);
}
You can then do something like this:
synchronize_rcu_mult(call_srcu_mine, call_rcu, call_rcu_sched);

DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y is not a production setting, but it is
not very unusual either. Many developers routinely
use kernels built with it enabled.
Apart from being selected by hand, it is also auto-selected by
PROVE_LOCKING "Lock debugging: prove locking correctness" and
LOCK_STAT "Lock usage statistics" config options.
LOCK STAT is necessary for "perf lock" to work.
I wouldn't spend too much time optimizing it, but this particular
function has a very large cost in code size: when it is deinlined,
code size decreases by 830,000 bytes:

This commit adds a CONFIG_RCU_EXPEDITE_BOOT Kconfig parameter
that emulates a very early boot rcu_expedite_gp(). A late-boot
call to rcu_end_inkernel_boot() will provide the corresponding
rcu_unexpedite_gp(). The late-boot call to rcu_end_inkernel_boot()
should be made just before init is spawned.
According to Arjan:
> To show the boot time, I'm using the timestamp of the "Write protecting"
> line, that's pretty much the last thing we print prior to ring 3 execution.
>
> A kernel with default RCU behavior (inside KVM, only virtual devices)

> oranges-to-oranges)
>
> [ 0.031768] Write protecting the kernel read-only data: 10240k

Currently, expediting of normal synchronous grace-period primitives
(synchronize_rcu() and friends) is controlled by the rcu_expedited()
boot/sysfs parameter. This works well, but does not handle nesting.
This commit therefore provides rcu_expedite_gp() to enable expediting
and rcu_unexpedite_gp() to cancel a prior rcu_expedite_gp(), both of
which support nesting.

The rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() function is on a scheduling fast
path, so it would be good to avoid disabling irqs. The reason that irqs
are disabled is to synchronize process-level and irq-handler access to
the task_struct ->rcu_read_unlock_special bitmask. This commit therefore
makes ->rcu_read_unlock_special instead be a union of bools with a short
allowing single-access checks in RCU's __rcu_read_unlock(). This results
in the process-level and irq-handler accesses being simple loads and
stores, so that irqs need no longer be disabled. This commit therefore
removes the irq disabling from rcu_preempt_note_context_switch().

Currently TASKS_RCU would ignore a CPU running a task in nohz_full=
usermode execution. There would be neither a context switch nor a
scheduling-clock interrupt to tell TASKS_RCU that the task in question
had passed through a quiescent state. The grace period would therefore
extend indefinitely. This commit therefore makes RCU's dyntick-idle
subsystem record the task_struct structure of the task that is running
in dyntick-idle mode on each CPU. The TASKS_RCU grace period can
then access this information and record a quiescent state on
behalf of any CPU running in dyntick-idle usermode.

It is expected that many sites will have CONFIG_TASKS_RCU=y, but
will never actually invoke call_rcu_tasks(). For such sites, creating
rcu_tasks_kthread() at boot is wasteful. This commit therefore defers
creation of this kthread until the time of the first call_rcu_tasks().
This of course means that the first call_rcu_tasks() must be invoked
from process context after the scheduler is fully operational.

This commit adds a ten-minute RCU-tasks stall warning. The actual
time is controlled by the boot/sysfs parameter rcu_task_stall_timeout,
with values less than or equal to zero disabling the stall warnings.
The default value is ten minutes, which means that the tasks that have
not yet responded will get their stacks dumped every ten minutes, until
they pass through a voluntary context switch.

Once a task has passed exit_notify() in the do_exit() code path, it
is no longer on the task lists, and is therefore no longer visible
to rcu_tasks_kthread(). This means that an almost-exited task might
be preempted while within a trampoline, and this task won't be waited
on by rcu_tasks_kthread(). This commit fixes this bug by adding an
srcu_struct. An exiting task does srcu_read_lock() just before calling
exit_notify(), and does the corresponding srcu_read_unlock() after
doing the final preempt_disable(). This means that rcu_tasks_kthread()
can do synchronize_srcu() to wait for all mostly-exited tasks to reach
their final preempt_disable() region, and then use synchronize_sched()
to wait for those tasks to finish exiting.

It turns out to be easier to add the synchronous grace-period waiting
functions to RCU-tasks than to work around their absense in rcutorture,
so this commit adds them. The key point is that the existence of

This commit adds a new RCU-tasks flavor of RCU, which provides
call_rcu_tasks(). This RCU flavor's quiescent states are voluntary
context switch (not preemption!) and userspace execution (not the idle
loop -- use some sort of schedule_on_each_cpu() if you need to handle the
idle tasks. Note that unlike other RCU flavors, these quiescent states
occur in tasks, not necessarily CPUs. Includes fixes from Steven Rostedt.
This RCU flavor is assumed to have very infrequent latency-tolerant
updaters. This assumption permits significant simplifications, including
a single global callback list protected by a single global lock, along
with a single task-private linked list containing all tasks that have not
yet passed through a quiescent state. If experience shows this assumption
to be incorrect, the required additional complexity will be added.

it does not actually grow. But .data starts with ALIGN(THREAD_SIZE) and
since .text shrinks the padding grows, and thus .data grows too as it
seen by /bin/size. diff System.map:
- ffffffff81510000 D _sdata
- ffffffff81510000 D init_thread_union
+ ffffffff81509000 D _sdata
+ ffffffff8150c000 D init_thread_union
Perhaps we can change vmlinux.lds.S to .data itself, so that /bin/size
can't "wrongly" report that .data grows if .text shinks.

Commit ac1bea85781e (Make cond_resched() report RCU quiescent states)
fixed a problem where a CPU looping in the kernel with but one runnable
task would give RCU CPU stall warnings, even if the in-kernel loop
contained cond_resched() calls. Unfortunately, in so doing, it introduced
performance regressions in Anton Blanchard's will-it-scale "open1" test.
The problem appears to be not so much the increased cond_resched() path
length as an increase in the rate at which grace periods complete, which
increased per-update grace-period overhead.
This commit takes a different approach to fixing this bug, mainly by
moving the RCU-visible quiescent state from cond_resched() to
rcu_note_context_switch(), and by further reducing the check to a
simple non-zero test of a single per-CPU variable. However, this
approach requires that the force-quiescent-state processing send
resched IPIs to the offending CPUs. These will be sent only once
the grace period has reached an age specified by the boot/sysfs
parameter rcutree.jiffies_till_sched_qs, or once the grace period
reaches an age halfway to the point at which RCU CPU stall warnings
will be emitted, whichever comes first.

Currently, call_rcu() relies on implicit allocation and initialization
for the debug-objects handling of RCU callbacks. If you hammer the
kernel hard enough with Sasha's modified version of trinity, you can end
up with the sl*b allocators recursing into themselves via this implicit
call_rcu() allocation.
This commit therefore exports the debug_init_rcu_head() and
debug_rcu_head_free() functions, which permits the allocators to allocated
and pre-initialize the debug-objects information, so that there no longer
any need for call_rcu() to do that initialization, which in turn prevents
the recursion into the memory allocators.

Some sysrq handlers can run for a long time, because they dump a lot
of data onto a serial console. Having RCU stall warnings pop up in
the middle of them only makes the problem worse.
This commit provides rcu_sysrq_start() and rcu_sysrq_end() APIs to
temporarily suppress RCU CPU stall warnings while a sysrq request is
handled.

Given a CPU running a loop containing cond_resched(), with no
other tasks runnable on that CPU, RCU will eventually report RCU
CPU stall warnings due to lack of quiescent states. Fortunately,
every call to cond_resched() is a perfectly good quiescent state.
Unfortunately, invoking rcu_note_context_switch() is a bit heavyweight
for cond_resched(), especially given the need to disable preemption,
and, for RCU-preempt, interrupts as well.
This commit therefore maintains a per-CPU counter that causes
cond_resched(), cond_resched_lock(), and cond_resched_softirq() to call
rcu_note_context_switch(), but only about once per 256 invocations.
This ratio was chosen in keeping with the relative time constants of
RCU grace periods.

The kbuild test bot uncovered an implicit dependence on the
trace header being present before rcu.h in ia64 allmodconfig
that looks like this:
In file included from kernel/ksysfs.c:22:0:
kernel/rcu/rcu.h: In function '__rcu_reclaim':
kernel/rcu/rcu.h:107:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'trace_rcu_invoke_kfree_callback' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
kernel/rcu/rcu.h:112:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'trace_rcu_invoke_callback' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
Looking at other rcu.h users, we can find that they all
were sourcing the trace header in advance of rcu.h itself,
as seen in the context of this diff. There were also some
inconsistencies as to whether it was or wasn't sourced based
on the parent tracing Kconfig.
Rather than "fix" it at each use site, and have inconsistent
use based on whether "#ifdef CONFIG_RCU_TRACE" was used or not,
lets just source the trace header just once, in the actual consumer
of it, which is rcu.h itself. We include it unconditionally, as
build testing shows us that is a hard requirement for some files.

All of the RCU source files have the usual GPL header, which contains a
long-obsolete postal address for FSF. To avoid the need to track the
FSF office's movements, this commit substitutes the URL where GPL may
be found.

rcu_my_thread_group_empty()
rcu_dereference_check_fdtable() looks very wrong,
1. rcu_my_thread_group_empty() was added by 844b9a8707f1 "vfs: fix
RCU-lockdep false positive due to /proc" but it doesn't really
fix the problem. A CLONE_THREAD (without CLONE_FILES) task can
hit the same race with get_files_struct().
And otoh rcu_my_thread_group_empty() can suppress the correct
warning if the caller is the CLONE_FILES (without CLONE_THREAD)
task.
2. files->count == 1 check is not really right too. Even if this
files_struct is not shared it is not safe to access it lockless
unless the caller is the owner.
Otoh, this check is sub-optimal. files->count == 0 always means
it is safe to use it lockless even if files != current->files,
but put_files_struct() has to take rcu_read_lock(). See the next
patch.
This patch removes the buggy checks and turns fcheck_files() into
__fcheck_files() which uses rcu_dereference_raw(), the "unshared"
callers, fget_light() and fget_raw_light(), can use it to avoid
the warning from RCU-lockdep.
fcheck_files() is trivially reimplemented as rcu_lockdep_assert()
plus __fcheck_files().

Currently blocking in an RCU callback function will result in
"scheduling while atomic", which could be triggered for any number
of reasons. To aid debugging, this patch introduces a rcu_callback_map
that is used to tie the inappropriate voluntary context switch back
to the fact that the function is being invoked from within a callback.
