Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Core scheduler updates:

   - Add CONFIG_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC: this in its current form adds the
     preempt=none/voluntary/full boot options (default: full), to allow
     distros to build a PREEMPT kernel but fall back to close to
     PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY (or PREEMPT_NONE) runtime scheduling behavior via
     a boot time selection.

     There's also the /debug/sched_debug switch to do this runtime.

     This feature is implemented via runtime patching (a new variant of
     static calls).

     The scope of the runtime patching can be best reviewed by looking
     at the sched_dynamic_update() function in kernel/sched/core.c.

     ( Note that the dynamic none/voluntary mode isn't 100% identical,
       for example preempt-RCU is available in all cases, plus the
       preempt count is maintained in all models, which has runtime
       overhead even with the code patching. )

     The PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY/PREEMPT_NONE models, used by the vast
     majority of distributions, are supposed to be unaffected.

   - Fix ignored rescheduling after rcu_eqs_enter(). This is a bug that
     was found via rcutorture triggering a hang. The bug is that
     rcu_idle_enter() may wake up a NOCB kthread, but this happens after
     the last generic need_resched() check. Some cpuidle drivers fix it
     by chance but many others don't.

     In true 2020 fashion the original bug fix has grown into a 5-patch
     scheduler/RCU fix series plus another 16 RCU patches to address the
     underlying issue of missed preemption events. These are the initial
     fixes that should fix current incarnations of the bug.

   - Clean up rbtree usage in the scheduler, by providing & using the
     following consistent set of rbtree APIs:

       partial-order; less() based:
         - rb_add(): add a new entry to the rbtree
         - rb_add_cached(): like rb_add(), but for a rb_root_cached

       total-order; cmp() based:
         - rb_find(): find an entry in an rbtree
         - rb_find_add(): find an entry, and add if not found

         - rb_find_first(): find the first (leftmost) matching entry
         - rb_next_match(): continue from rb_find_first()
         - rb_for_each(): iterate a sub-tree using the previous two

   - Improve the SMP/NUMA load-balancer: scan for an idle sibling in a
     single pass. This is a 4-commit series where each commit improves
     one aspect of the idle sibling scan logic.

   - Improve the cpufreq cooling driver by getting the effective CPU
     utilization metrics from the scheduler

   - Improve the fair scheduler's active load-balancing logic by
     reducing the number of active LB attempts & lengthen the
     load-balancing interval. This improves stress-ng mmapfork
     performance.

   - Fix CFS's estimated utilization (util_est) calculation bug that can
     result in too high utilization values

  Misc updates & fixes:

   - Fix the HRTICK reprogramming & optimization feature

   - Fix SCHED_SOFTIRQ raising race & warning in the CPU offlining code

   - Reduce dl_add_task_root_domain() overhead

   - Fix uprobes refcount bug

   - Process pending softirqs in flush_smp_call_function_from_idle()

   - Clean up task priority related defines, remove *USER_*PRIO and
     USER_PRIO()

   - Simplify the sched_init_numa() deduplication sort

   - Documentation updates

   - Fix EAS bug in update_misfit_status(), which degraded the quality
     of energy-balancing

   - Smaller cleanups"

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.

To re-offload the callback processing off of a CPU, it is necessary to
clear SEGCBLIST_SOFTIRQ_ONLY, set SEGCBLIST_OFFLOADED, and then notify
both the CB and GP kthreads so that they both set their own bit flag and
start processing the callbacks remotely.  The re-offloading worker is
then notified that it can stop the RCU_SOFTIRQ handler (or rcuc kthread,
as the case may be) from processing the callbacks locally.

Ordering must be carefully enforced so that the callbacks that used to be
processed locally without locking will have the same ordering properties
when they are invoked by the nocb CB and GP kthreads.

This commit makes this change.

[ paulmck: Export rcu_nocb_cpu_offload(). ]
Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>

To de-offload callback processing back onto a CPU, it is necessary to
clear SEGCBLIST_OFFLOAD and notify the nocb CB kthread, which will then
clear its own bit flag and go to sleep to stop handling callbacks.  This
commit makes that change.  It will also be necessary to notify the nocb
GP kthread in this same way, which is the subject of a follow-on commit.

[ paulmck: Add export per kernel test robot feedback. ]
Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>

There is a need for a polling interface for SRCU grace
periods, so this commit supplies get_state_synchronize_srcu(),
start_poll_synchronize_srcu(), and poll_state_synchronize_srcu() for this
purpose.  The first can be used if future grace periods are inevitable
(perhaps due to a later call_srcu() invocation), the second if future
grace periods might not otherwise happen, and the third to check if a
grace period has elapsed since the corresponding call to either of the
first two.

As with get_state_synchronize_rcu() and cond_synchronize_rcu(),
the return value from either get_state_synchronize_srcu() or
start_poll_synchronize_srcu() must be passed in to a later call to
poll_state_synchronize_srcu().

There is a kvfree_rcu() single argument macro that handles pointers
returned by kvmalloc(). Even though it also handles pointer returned by
kmalloc(), readability suffers.

This commit therefore updates the kfree_rcu() macro to explicitly pair
with kmalloc(), thus improving readability.

Pull RCU fix from Paul McKenney:
 "This is a fix for a regression in the v5.10 merge window, but it was
  reported quite late in the v5.10 process, plus generating and testing
  the fix took some time.

  The regression is due to commit 36dadef23fcc ("kprobes: Init kprobes
  in early_initcall") which on powerpc can use RCU Tasks before
  initialization, resulting in boot failures.

  The fix is straightforward, simply moving initialization of RCU Tasks
  before the early_initcall()s. The fix has been exposed to -next and
  kbuild test robot testing, and has been tested by the PowerPC guys"

* 'rcu/urgent' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu:
  rcu-tasks: Move RCU-tasks initialization to before early_initcall()

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.
