4410030646 rcu: Add missing __cpuinit annotation in rcutorture code
"rcu: Add rcutorture CPU-hotplug capability" adds cpu hotplug operations
to the rcutorture code but produces a false positive warning about section
mismatches:

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x1e420c): Section mismatch in reference from the
	 function rcu_torture_onoff() to the function .cpuinit.text:cpu_up()
	 The function rcu_torture_onoff() references
	 the function __cpuinit cpu_up().
	 This is often because rcu_torture_onoff lacks a __cpuinit
	 annotation or the annotation of cpu_up is wrong.

This commit therefore adds a __cpuinit annotation so the warning goes away.

d8e8ed95cd rcu: Make rcutorture bool parameters really bool (core code)
module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int.  In
fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy
trick.

It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option.  For this version
it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version.
This commit makes this change to rcutorture.

This commit adds simple rcutorture tests for srcu_read_lock_raw() and
srcu_read_unlock_raw().  It does not test doing srcu_read_lock_raw()

f220242af9 rcu: Make rcutorture test for hotpluggability before offlining CPUs
The rcutorture test now can automatically exercise CPU hotplug and
collect success statistics, which can be correlated with other rcutorture
activity.  This permits rcutorture to completely exercise RCU regardless
of what sort of userspace and filesystem layout is in use.  Unfortunately,
rcutorture is happy to attempt to offline CPUs that cannot be offlined,
for example, CPU 0 in both the x86 and ARM architectures.  Although this
allows rcutorture testing to proceed normally, it confounds attempts at
error analysis due to the resulting flood of spurious CPU-hotplug errors.

Therefore, this commit uses the new cpu_is_hotpluggable() function to
avoid attempting to offline CPUs that are not hotpluggable, which in
turn avoids spurious CPU-hotplug errors.

b58bdccaa8 rcu: Add rcutorture CPU-hotplug capability
Running CPU-hotplug operations concurrently with rcutorture has
historically been a good way to find bugs in both RCU and CPU hotplug.
This commit therefore adds an rcutorture module parameter called
"onoff_interval" that causes a randomly selected CPU-hotplug operation to
be executed at the specified interval, in seconds.  The default value of
"onoff_interval" is zero, which disables rcutorture-instigated CPU-hotplug
operations.

bb3bf7052d rcu: Control rcutorture startup from kernel boot parameters
Currently, if rcutorture is built into the kernel, it must be manually
started or started from an init script.  This is inconvenient for
automated KVM testing, where it is good to be able to fully control
rcutorture execution from the kernel parameters.  This patch therefore
adds a module parameter named "rcutorture_runnable" that defaults
to zero ("don't start automatically"), but which can be set to one
to cause rcutorture to start up immediately during boot.

d5f546d834 rcu: Add rcutorture system-shutdown capability
Although it is easy to run rcutorture tests under KVM, there is currently
no nice way to run such a test for a fixed time period, collect all of
the rcutorture data, and then shut the system down cleanly.  This commit
therefore adds an rcutorture module parameter named "shutdown_secs" that
specified the run duration in seconds, after which rcutorture terminates
the test and powers the system down.  The default value for "shutdown_secs"
is zero, which disables shutdown.

3721bc1d3e rcu: Allow rcutorture's stat_interval parameter to be changed at runtime
When rcutorture is compiled directly into the kernel
(instead of separately as a module), it is necessary to specify
rcutorture.stat_interval as a kernel command-line parameter, otherwise,
the rcu_torture_stats kthread is never started.  However, when working
with the system after it has booted, it is convenient to be able to
change the time between statistic printing, particularly when logged
into the console.

This commit therefore allows the stat_interval parameter to be changed
at runtime.

1f28809480 rcu: Use kthread_create_on_node()
Commit a26ac2455f (move TREE_RCU from softirq to kthread) added
per-CPU kthreads.  However, kthread creation uses kthread_create(), which
can put the kthread's stack and task struct on the wrong NUMA node.
Therefore, use kthread_create_on_node() instead of kthread_create()
so that the stacks and task structs are placed on the correct NUMA node.

A similar change was carried out in commit 94dcf29a11 (kthread:
use kthread_create_on_node()).

Also change rcutorture's priority-boost-test kthread creation.

969c79215a sched: replace migration_thread with cpu_stop
Currently migration_thread is serving three purposes - migration
pusher, context to execute active_load_balance() and forced context
switcher for expedited RCU synchronize_sched.  All three roles are
hardcoded into migration_thread() and determining which job is
scheduled is slightly messy.

This patch kills migration_thread and replaces all three uses with
cpu_stop.  The three different roles of migration_thread() are
splitted into three separate cpu_stop callbacks -
migration_cpu_stop(), active_load_balance_cpu_stop() and
synchronize_sched_expedited_cpu_stop() - and each use case now simply
asks cpu_stop to execute the callback as necessary.

synchronize_sched_expedited() was implemented with private
preallocated resources and custom multi-cpu queueing and waiting
logic, both of which are provided by cpu_stop.
synchronize_sched_expedited_count is made atomic and all other shared
resources along with the mutex are dropped.

synchronize_sched_expedited() also implemented a check to detect cases
where not all the callback got executed on their assigned cpus and
fall back to synchronize_sched().  If called with cpu hotplug blocked,
cpu_stop already guarantees that and the condition cannot happen;
otherwise, stop_machine() would break.  However, this patch preserves
the paranoid check using a cpumask to record on which cpus the stopper
ran so that it can serve as a bisection point if something actually
goes wrong theree.

Because the internal execution state is no longer visible,
rcu_expedited_torture_stats() is removed.

This patch also renames cpu_stop threads to from "stopper/%d" to
"migration/%d".  The names of these threads ultimately don't matter
and there's no reason to make unnecessary userland visible changes.

With this patch applied, stop_machine() and sched now share the same
resources.  stop_machine() is faster without wasting any resources and
sched migration users are much cleaner.

632ee20013 rcu: Introduce lockdep-based checking to RCU read-side primitives
Inspection is proving insufficient to catch all RCU misuses,
which is understandable given that rcu_dereference() might be
protected by any of four different flavors of RCU (RCU, RCU-bh,
RCU-sched, and SRCU), and might also/instead be protected by any
of a number of locking primitives. It is therefore time to
enlist the aid of lockdep.

This set of patches is inspired by earlier work by Peter
Zijlstra and Thomas Gleixner, and takes the following approach:

o	Set up separate lockdep classes for RCU, RCU-bh, and RCU-sched.

o	Set up separate lockdep classes for each instance of SRCU.

o	Create primitives that check for being in an RCU read-side
	critical section.  These return exact answers if lockdep is
	fully enabled, but if unsure, report being in an RCU read-side
	critical section.  (We want to avoid false positives!)
	The primitives are:

	For RCU: rcu_read_lock_held(void)

	For RCU-bh: rcu_read_lock_bh_held(void)

	For RCU-sched: rcu_read_lock_sched_held(void)

	For SRCU: srcu_read_lock_held(struct srcu_struct *sp)

o	Add rcu_dereference_check(), which takes a second argument
	in which one places a boolean expression based on the above
	primitives and/or lockdep_is_held().

o	A new kernel configuration parameter, CONFIG_PROVE_RCU, enables
	rcu_dereference_check().  This depends on CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING,
	and should be quite helpful during the transition period while
	CONFIG_PROVE_RCU-unaware patches are in flight.

The existing rcu_dereference() primitive does no checking, but
upcoming patches will change that.

d9a3da0699 rcu: Add expedited grace-period support for preemptible RCU
Implement an synchronize_rcu_expedited() for preemptible RCU
that actually is expedited.  This uses
synchronize_sched_expedited() to force all threads currently
running in a preemptible-RCU read-side critical section onto the
appropriate ->blocked_tasks[] list, then takes a snapshot of all
of these lists and waits for them to drain.

dd17c8f729 percpu: remove per_cpu__ prefix.
Now that the return from alloc_percpu is compatible with the address
of per-cpu vars, it makes sense to hand around the address of per-cpu
variables.  To make this sane, we remove the per_cpu__ prefix we used
created to stop people accidentally using these vars directly.

Now we have sparse, we can use that (next patch).

tj: * Updated to convert stuff which were missed by or added after the
      original patch.

    * Kill per_cpu_var() macro.

c9d557c19f rcu: fix bug in rcutorture system-shutdown code
This patch fixes an rcutorture bug found by Eric Sesterhenn that
resulted in oopses in response to "rmmod rcutorture".  The problem
was in some new code that attempted to handle the case where a system
is shut down while rcutorture is still running, for example, when
rcutorture is built into the kernel so that it cannot be removed.
The fix causes the rcutorture threads to "park" in an
schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT) rather than
trying to get them to terminate cleanly.  Concurrent shutdown and
rmmod is illegal.

I believe that this is 2.6.29 material, as it is used in some testing
setups.

For reference, here are the rcutorture operating modes:

CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST=m

	This is the normal rcutorture build.  Use "modprobe rcutorture"
	(with optional arguments) to start, and "rmmod rcutorture" to
	stop.  If you shut the system down without doing the rmmod, you
	should see console output like:

	rcutorture thread rcu_torture_writer parking due to system shutdown

	One for each rcutorture kthread.

CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST=y
CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_RUNNABLE=n

	Use this if you want rcutorture built in, but don't want the
	test to start running during early boot.  To start the
	torturing:

		echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/rcutorture_runnable

	To stop the torturing, s/1/0/

	You will get "parking" console messages as noted above when
	you shut the system down.

CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST=y
CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_RUNNABLE=y

	Same as above, except that the torturing starts during early
	boot.  Only for the stout of heart and strong of stomach.
	The same /proc entry noted above may be used to control the
	test.

bd232f97b3 cpumask: convert RCU implementations
Impact: use new cpumask API.

rcu_ctrlblk contains a cpumask, and it's highly optimized so I don't want
a cpumask_var_t (ie. a pointer) for the CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK case.  It
could use a dangling bitmap, and be allocated in __rcu_init to save memory,
but for the moment we use a bitmap.

(Eventually 'struct cpumask' will be undefined for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK,
so we use a bitmap here to show we really mean it).

We remove on-stack cpumasks, using cpumask_var_t for
rcu_torture_shuffle_tasks() and for_each_cpu_and in force_quiescent_state().

343e9099c8 rcu: fix rcutorture behavior during reboot
Impact: fix very rare reboot hang

Because rcutorture ignored all signals, it does not terminate in
response to the signals sent at shutdown time.  This can cause strange
failures due to its continuing to make use of kernel function too late
in the shutdown sequence.  This patch therefore adds a shutdown notifier
to rcutorture, causing it to shut down in response to a reboot or an
orderly shutdown.
