rcu: Define rcu_all_qs() only in !PREEMPT builds

2018-08-30T23:03:37+00:00

Now that rcu_all_qs() is used only in !PREEMPT builds, move it to
tree_plugin.h so that it is defined only in those builds.  This in
turn means that rcu_momentary_dyntick_idle() is only used in !PREEMPT
builds, but it is simply marked __maybe_unused in order to keep it
near the rest of the dyntick-idle code.

rcu: Consolidate RCU-sched update-side function definitions

2018-08-30T23:03:26+00:00

This commit saves a few lines by consolidating the RCU-sched function
definitions at the end of include/linux/rcupdate.h.  This consolidation
also makes it easier to remove them all when the time comes.

rcu: Express Tiny RCU updates in terms of RCU rather than RCU-sched

2018-08-30T23:02:46+00:00

This commit renames Tiny RCU functions so that the lowest level of
functionality is RCU (e.g., synchronize_rcu()) rather than RCU-sched
(e.g., synchronize_sched()).  This provides greater naming compatibility
with Tree RCU, which will in turn permit more LoC removal once
the RCU-sched and RCU-bh update-side API is removed.

rcu: Define RCU-sched API in terms of RCU for Tree RCU PREEMPT builds

2018-08-30T23:02:45+00:00

Now that RCU-preempt knows about preemption disabling, its implementation
of synchronize_rcu() works for synchronize_sched(), and likewise for the
other RCU-sched update-side API members.  This commit therefore confines
the RCU-sched update-side code to CONFIG_PREEMPT=n builds, and defines
RCU-sched's update-side API members in terms of those of RCU-preempt.

This means that any given build of the Linux kernel has only one
update-side flavor of RCU, namely RCU-preempt for CONFIG_PREEMPT=y builds
and RCU-sched for CONFIG_PREEMPT=n builds.  This in turn means that kernels
built with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y have only one rcuo kthread per CPU.

This commit updates comments and help text to account for the fact that
RCU-bh update-side functions are now simple wrappers for their RCU or

rcu: Define RCU-bh update API in terms of RCU

2018-08-30T23:02:40+00:00

Now that the main RCU API knows about softirq disabling and softirq's
quiescent states, the RCU-bh update code can be dispensed with.
This commit therefore removes the RCU-bh update-side implementation and
defines RCU-bh's update-side API in terms of that of either RCU-preempt or
RCU-sched, depending on the setting of the CONFIG_PREEMPT Kconfig option.

In kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y this has the knock-on effect
of reducing by one the number of rcuo kthreads per CPU.

rcu: Apply RCU-bh QSes to RCU-sched and RCU-preempt when safe

2018-08-30T23:02:38+00:00

One necessary step towards consolidating the three flavors of RCU is to
make sure that the resulting consolidated "one flavor to rule them all"
correctly handles networking denial-of-service attacks.  One thing that
allows RCU-bh to do so is that __do_softirq() invokes rcu_bh_qs() every
so often, and so something similar has to happen for consolidated RCU.

This must be done carefully.  For example, if a preemption-disabled
region of code takes an interrupt which does softirq processing before
returning, consolidated RCU must ignore the resulting rcu_bh_qs()
invocations -- preemption is still disabled, and that means an RCU
reader for the consolidated flavor.

This commit therefore creates a new rcu_softirq_qs() that is called only
from the ksoftirqd task, thus avoiding the interrupted-a-preempted-region
problem.  This new rcu_softirq_qs() function invokes rcu_sched_qs(),
rcu_preempt_qs(), and rcu_preempt_deferred_qs().  The latter call handles
any deferred quiescent states.

Note that __do_softirq() still invokes rcu_bh_qs().  It will continue to
do so until a later stage of cleanup when the RCU-bh flavor is removed.

rcu/x86: Provide early rcu_cpu_starting() callback

2018-05-22T23:12:26+00:00

The x86/mtrr code does horrific things because hardware. It uses
stop_machine_from_inactive_cpu(), which does a wakeup (of the stopper
thread on another CPU), which uses RCU, all before the CPU is onlined.

RCU complains about this, because wakeups use RCU and RCU does
(rightfully) not consider offline CPUs for grace-periods.

Fix this by initializing RCU way early in the MTRR case.
