<title>srcu: Use irq_work to start GP in tiny SRCU</title>

Tiny SRCU's srcu_gp_start_if_needed() directly calls schedule_work(),
which acquires the workqueue pool-&gt;lock.

This causes a lockdep splat when call_srcu() is called with a scheduler
lock held, due to:

  call_srcu() [holding pi_lock]
    srcu_gp_start_if_needed()
      schedule_work() -&gt; pool-&gt;lock

  workqueue_init() / create_worker() [holding pool-&gt;lock]
    wake_up_process() -&gt; try_to_wake_up() -&gt; pi_lock

Also add irq_work_sync() to cleanup_srcu_struct() to prevent a
use-after-free if a queued irq_work fires after cleanup begins.

Tested with rcutorture SRCU-T and no lockdep warnings.

[ Thanks to Boqun for similar fix in patch "rcu: Use an intermediate irq_work
to start process_srcu()" ]

<title>srcu: Create an SRCU-fast-updown API</title>

<id>d3f52f53a56278ce5ffeafa3cc6cfb3ecef770fe</id>
<content type='text'>
This commit creates an SRCU-fast-updown API, including
DEFINE_SRCU_FAST_UPDOWN(), DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU_FAST_UPDOWN(),
__init_srcu_struct_fast_updown(), init_srcu_struct_fast_updown(),
srcu_read_lock_fast_updown(), srcu_read_unlock_fast_updown(),
__srcu_read_lock_fast_updown(), and __srcu_read_unlock_fast_updown().

These are initially identical to their SRCU-fast counterparts, but both
SRCU-fast and SRCU-fast-updown will be optimized in different directions
by later commits. SRCU-fast will lack any sort of srcu_down_read() and
srcu_up_read() APIs, which will enable extremely efficient NMI safety.
For its part, SRCU-fast-updown will not be NMI safe, which will enable
reasonably efficient implementations of srcu_down_read_fast() and
srcu_up_read_fast().

This API fork happens to meet two different future use cases.

* SRCU-fast will become the reimplementation basis for RCU-TASK-TRACE
  for consolidation. Since RCU-TASK-TRACE must be NMI safe, SRCU-fast
  must be as well.

* SRCU-fast-updown will be needed for uretprobes code in order to get
  rid of the read-side memory barriers while still allowing entering the
  reader at task level while exiting it in a timer handler.

This commit also adds rcutorture tests for the new APIs.  This
(annoyingly) needs to be in the same commit for bisectability.  With this
commit, the 0x8 value tests SRCU-fast-updown.  However, most SRCU-fast
testing will be via the RCU Tasks Trace wrappers.

This commit makes CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y kernels enforce the new rule
that srcu_struct structures that are passed to srcu_read_lock_fast()
and other SRCU-fast read-side markers be either initialized with
init_srcu_struct_fast() on the one hand or defined with DEFINE_SRCU_FAST()
or DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU_FAST() on the other.

This eliminates the read-side test that was formerly included in
srcu_read_lock_fast() and friends, speeding these primitives up by
about 25% (admittedly only about half of a nanosecond, but when tracing
on fastpaths...)

This commit creates DEFINE_SRCU_FAST() and DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU_FAST()
macros that are similar to DEFINE_SRCU() and DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU(),
but which create srcu_struct structures that are usable only by readers
initiated by srcu_read_lock_fast() and friends.

This commit does make DEFINE_SRCU_FAST() available to modules, in which
case the per-CPU srcu_data structures are not created at compile time, but
rather at module-load time.  This means that the &gt;srcu_reader_flavor field
of the srcu_data structure is not available.  Therefore,
this commit instead creates an -&gt;srcu_reader_flavor field in the
srcu_struct structure, adds arguments to the DEFINE_SRCU()-related
macros to initialize this new field, and extends the checks in the
__srcu_check_read_flavor() function to include this new field.

This commit also allows dynamically allocated srcu_struct structure
to be marked for SRCU-fast readers.  It does so by defining a new
init_srcu_struct_fast() function that marks the specified srcu_struct
structure for use by srcu_read_lock_fast() and friends.

This commit creates an srcu_expedite_current() function that expedites
the current (and possibly the next) SRCU grace period for the specified
srcu_struct structure.  This functionality will be inherited by RCU
Tasks Trace courtesy of its mapping to SRCU fast.

If the current SRCU grace period is already waiting, that wait will
complete before the expediting takes effect.  If there is no SRCU grace
period in flight, this function might well create one.

This commit removes the SRCU-lite implementation, which has been replaced
by SRCU-fast.

Both SRCU-lite and SRCU-fast provide faster readers by dropping the
smp_mb() call from their lock and unlock primitives, but incur a pair
of added RCU grace periods during the SRCU grace period.  There is a
trivial mapping from the SRCU-lite API to that of SRCU-fast, so there
should be no transition issues.

This commit adds srcu_read_{,un}lock_fast(), which is similar
to srcu_read_{,un}lock_lite(), but avoids the array-indexing and
pointer-following overhead.  On a microbenchmark featuring tight
loops around empty readers, this results in about a 20% speedup
compared to RCU Tasks Trace on my x86 laptop.

Please note that SRCU-fast has drawbacks compared to RCU Tasks
Trace, including:

o	Lack of CPU stall warnings.
o	SRCU-fast readers permitted only where rcu_is_watching().
o	A pointer-sized return value from srcu_read_lock_fast() must
	be passed to the corresponding srcu_read_unlock_fast().
o	In the absence of readers, a synchronize_srcu() having _fast()
	readers will incur the latency of at least two normal RCU grace
	periods.
o	RCU Tasks Trace priority boosting could be easily added.
	Boosting SRCU readers is more difficult.

SRCU-fast also has a drawback compared to SRCU-lite, namely that the
return value from srcu_read_lock_fast()-fast is a 64-bit pointer and
that from srcu_read_lock_lite() is only a 32-bit int.

o	SRCU-fast readers permitted only where rcu_is_watching().
o	A pointer-sized return value from srcu_read_lock_fast() must
	be passed to the corresponding srcu_read_unlock_fast().
o	In the absence of readers, a synchronize_srcu() having _fast()
	readers will incur the latency of at least two normal RCU grace
	periods.
o	RCU Tasks Trace priority boosting could be easily added.
	Boosting SRCU readers is more difficult.

SRCU-fast also has a drawback compared to SRCU-lite, namely that the
return value from srcu_read_lock_fast()-fast is a 64-bit pointer and
that from srcu_read_lock_lite() is only a 32-bit int.

There are a couple of definitions under "#ifdef CONFIG_TINY_SRCU"
in include/linux/srcu.h.  There is no point in them being there,
so this commit moves them to include/linux/srcutiny.h and
include/linux/srcutree.c, thus eliminating that #ifdef.
