Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek: - Offload writing printk() messages on consoles to per-console kthreads. It prevents soft-lockups when an extensive amount of messages is printed. It was observed, for example, during boot of large systems with a lot of peripherals like disks or network interfaces. It prevents live-lockups that were observed, for example, when messages about allocation failures were reported and a CPU handled consoles instead of reclaiming the memory. It was hard to solve even with rate limiting because it would need to take into account the amount of messages and the speed of all consoles. It is a must to have for real time. Otherwise, any printk() might break latency guarantees. The per-console kthreads allow to handle each console on its own speed. Slow consoles do not longer slow down faster ones. And printk() does not longer unpredictably slows down various code paths. There are situations when the kthreads are either not available or not reliable, for example, early boot, suspend, or panic. In these situations, printk() uses the legacy mode and tries to handle consoles immediately. - Add documentation for the printk index. * tag 'printk-for-5.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux: printk, tracing: fix console tracepoint printk: remove @console_locked printk: extend console_lock for per-console locking printk: add kthread console printers printk: add functions to prefer direct printing printk: add pr_flush() printk: move buffer definitions into console_emit_next_record() caller printk: refactor and rework printing logic printk: add con_printk() macro for console details printk: call boot_delay_msec() in printk_delay() printk: get caller_id/timestamp after migration disable printk: wake waiters for safe and NMI contexts printk: wake up all waiters printk: add missing memory barrier to wake_up_klogd() printk: cpu sync always disable interrupts printk: rename cpulock functions printk/index: Printk index feature documentation MAINTAINERS: Add printk indexing maintainers on mention of printk_index
exp.2022.05.11a: Expedited-grace-period latency-reduction updates.
Enabling CONFIG_RCU_BOOST did not reduce RCU expedited grace-period latency because its workqueues run at SCHED_OTHER, and thus can be delayed by normal processes. This commit avoids these delays by moving the expedited GP work items to a real-time-priority kthread_worker. This option is controlled by CONFIG_RCU_EXP_KTHREAD and disabled by default on PREEMPT_RT=y kernels which disable expedited grace periods after boot by unconditionally setting rcupdate.rcu_normal_after_boot=1. The results were evaluated on arm64 Android devices (6GB ram) running 5.10 kernel, and capturing trace data in critical user-level code. The table below shows the resulting order-of-magnitude improvements in synchronize_rcu_expedited() latency: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | workqueues | kthread_worker | Diff | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Count | 725 | 688 | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Min Duration (ns) | 326 | 447 | 37.12% | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Q1 (ns) | 39,428 | 38,971 | -1.16% | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Q2 - Median (ns) | 98,225 | 69,743 | -29.00% | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Q3 (ns) | 342,122 | 126,638 | -62.98% | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Max Duration (ns) | 372,766,967 | 2,329,671 | -99.38% | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Avg Duration (ns) | 2,746,353 | 151,242 | -94.49% | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Standard Deviation (ns) | 19,327,765 | 294,408 | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The below table show the range of maximums/minimums for synchronize_rcu_expedited() latency from all experiments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | workqueues | kthread_worker | Diff | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Total No. of Experiments | 25 | 23 | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Largest Maximum (ns) | 372,766,967 | 2,329,671 | -99.38% | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Smallest Maximum (ns) | 38,819 | 86,954 | 124.00% | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Range of Maximums (ns) | 372,728,148 | 2,242,717 | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Largest Minimum (ns) | 88,623 | 27,588 | -68.87% | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Smallest Minimum (ns) | 326 | 447 | 37.12% | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Range of Minimums (ns) | 88,297 | 27,141 | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cc: "Paul E.

Currently both expedited and regular grace period stall warnings use a single timeout value that with units of seconds. However, recent Android use cases problem require a sub-100-millisecond expedited RCU CPU stall warning. Given that expedited RCU grace periods normally complete in far less than a single millisecond, especially for small systems, this is not unreasonable. Therefore introduce the CONFIG_RCU_EXP_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT kernel configuration that defaults to 20 msec on Android and remains the same as that of the non-expedited stall warnings otherwise. It also can be changed in run-time via: /sys/.../parameters/rcu_exp_cpu_stall_timeout.

Commit 9c7ef4c30f12 ("srcu: Make Tree SRCU able to operate without
snp_node array") initializes the local variable sdp differently depending
on the srcu's state in srcu_gp_start(). Either way, this initialization
overwrites the value used when sdp is defined.
This commit therefore drops this pointless definition-time initialization.
Although there is no functional change, compiler code generation may
be affected.

If an SRCU reader blocks while a synchronize_srcu_expedited() waits for that same reader, then that grace period will spawn an endless series of workqueue handlers, consuming a full CPU. This quickly gets pointless because consuming more CPU isn't going to make that reader get done faster, especially if it is blocked waiting for an external event. This commit therefore spawns at most one pair of back-to-back workqueue handlers per expedited grace period phase, instead inserting increasing delays as that grace period phase grows older, but capped at 10 jiffies. In any case, if there have been at least 100 back-to-back workqueue handlers within a single jiffy, regardless of grace period or grace-period phase, then a one-jiffy delay is inserted.

This commit adds a srcutree.convert_to_big option of zero that causes SRCU to decide at boot whether to wait for contention (small systems) or immediately expand to large (large systems). A new srcutree.big_cpu_lim (defaulting to 128) defines how many CPUs constitute a large system.
