rcu: Move grace-period pre-init delay after pre-init
The main race with the early part of grace-period initialization appears
to be with CPU hotplug. To more fully open this race window, this commit
moves the rcu_gp_slow() from the beginning of the early initialization
loop to follow that loop, thus widening the race window, especially for
the rcu_node structures that are initialized last. This commit also
expands rcutree.gp_preinit_delay from 3 to 12, giving the same overall
delay in the grace period, but concentrated in the spot where it will
do the most good.

rcu: Fix grace-period hangs due to race with CPU offline
Without special fail-safe quiescent-state-propagation checks, grace-period
hangs can result from the following scenario:
1. CPU 1 goes offline.
2. Because CPU 1 is the only CPU in the system blocking the current
grace period, the grace period ends as soon as
rcu_cleanup_dying_idle_cpu()'s call to rcu_report_qs_rnp()
returns.
3. At this point, the leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock is no longer
held: rcu_report_qs_rnp() has released it, as it must in order
to awaken the RCU grace-period kthread.
4. At this point, that same leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmaskinitnext
field still records CPU 1 as being online. This is absolutely
necessary because the scheduler uses RCU (in this case on the
wake-up path while awakening RCU's grace-period kthread), and
->qsmaskinitnext contains RCU's idea as to which CPUs are online.
Therefore, invoking rcu_report_qs_rnp() after clearing CPU 1's
bit from ->qsmaskinitnext would result in a lockdep-RCU splat
due to RCU being used from an offline CPU.
5. RCU's grace-period kthread awakens, sees that the old grace period
has completed and that a new one is needed. It therefore starts
a new grace period, but because CPU 1's leaf rcu_node structure's
->qsmaskinitnext field still shows CPU 1 as being online, this new
grace period is initialized to wait for a quiescent state from the
now-offline CPU 1.
6. Without the fail-safe force-quiescent-state checks, there would
be no quiescent state from the now-offline CPU 1, which would
eventually result in RCU CPU stall warnings and memory exhaustion.
It would be good to get rid of the special fail-safe quiescent-state
propagation checks, and thus it would be good to fix things so that
the above scenario cannot happen. This commit therefore adds a new
->ofl_lock to the rcu_state structure. This lock is held by rcu_gp_init()
across the applying of buffered online and offline operations to the
rcu_node tree, and it is also held by rcu_cleanup_dying_idle_cpu()
when buffering a new offline operation. This prevents rcu_gp_init()
from acquiring the leaf rcu_node structure's lock during the interval
between when rcu_cleanup_dying_idle_cpu() invokes rcu_report_qs_rnp(),
which releases ->lock and the re-acquisition of that same lock.
This in turn prevents the failure scenario outlined above, and will
hopefully eventually allow removal of the offline-CPU checks from the
force-quiescent-state code path.

rcu: Fix grace-period hangs from mid-init task resume
Without special fail-safe quiescent-state-propagation checks, grace-period
hangs can result from the following scenario:
1. A task running on a given CPU is preempted in its RCU read-side
critical section.
2. That CPU goes offline, and there are now no online CPUs
corresponding to that CPU's leaf rcu_node structure.
3. The rcu_gp_init() function does the first phase of grace-period
initialization, and sets the aforementioned leaf rcu_node
structure's ->qsmaskinit field to all zeroes. Because there
is a blocked task, it does not propagate the zeroing of either
->qsmaskinit or ->qsmaskinitnext up the rcu_node tree.
4. The task resumes on some other CPU and exits its critical section.
There is no grace period in progress, so the resulting quiescent
state is not reported up the tree.
5. The rcu_gp_init() function does the second phase of grace-period
initialization, which results in the leaf rcu_node structure
being initialized to expect no further quiescent states, but
with that structure's parent expecting a quiescent-state report.
The parent will never receive a quiescent state from this leaf
rcu_node structure, so the grace period will hang, resulting in
RCU CPU stall warnings.
It would be good to get rid of the special fail-safe quiescent-state
propagation checks. This commit therefore checks the leaf rcu_node
structure's ->wait_blkd_tasks field during grace-period initialization.
If this flag is set, the rcu_report_qs_rnp() is invoked to immediately
report the possible quiescent state. While in the neighborhood, this
commit also report quiescent states for any CPUs that went offline between
the two phases of grace-period initialization, thus reducing grace-period

rcu: Suppress false-positive splats from mid-init task resume
Consider the following sequence of events in a PREEMPT=y kernel:
1. All CPUs corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node structure are
offline.
2. The first phase of the rcu_gp_init() function's grace-period
initialization runs, and sets that rcu_node structure's
->qsmaskinit to zero, as it should.
3. One of the CPUs corresponding to that rcu_node structure comes
back online. Note that because this CPU came online after the
grace period started, this grace period can safely ignore this
newly onlined CPU.
4. A task running on the newly onlined CPU enters an RCU-preempt
read-side critical section, and is then preempted. Because
the corresponding rcu_node structure's ->qsmask is zero,
rcu_preempt_ctxt_queue() leaves the rcu_node structure's
->gp_tasks field NULL, as it should.
5. The rcu_gp_init() function continues running the second phase of
grace-period initialization. The ->qsmask field of the parent of
the aforementioned leaf rcu_node structure is set to not expect
a quiescent state from the leaf, as is only right and proper.
However, when rcu_gp_init() reaches the leaf, it invokes
rcu_preempt_check_blocked_tasks(), which sees that the leaf's
->blkd_tasks list is non-empty, and therefore sets the leaf's
->gp_tasks field to reference the first task on that list.
6. The grace period ends before the preempted task resumes, which
is perfectly fine, given that this grace period was under no
obligation to wait for that task to exit its late-starting
RCU-preempt read-side critical section. Unfortunately, the
leaf's ->gp_tasks field is non-NULL, so rcu_gp_cleanup() splats.
After all, it appears to rcu_gp_cleanup() that the grace period
failed to wait for a task that was supposed to be blocking that
grace period.
This commit avoids this false-positive splat by adding a check of both
->qsmaskinit and ->wait_blkd_tasks to rcu_preempt_check_blocked_tasks().
If both ->qsmaskinit and ->wait_blkd_tasks are zero, then the task must
have entered its RCU-preempt read-side critical section late (after all,
the CPU that it is running on was not online at that time), which means
that the upper-level rcu_node structure won't be waiting for anything
on the leaf anyway.
If ->wait_blkd_tasks is non-zero, then there is at least one task on
ths rcu_node structure's ->blkd_tasks list whose RCU read-side
critical section predates the current grace period. If ->qsmaskinit
is non-zero, there is at least one CPU that was online at the start
of the current grace period. Thus, if both are zero, there is nothing
to wait for.

rcu: Suppress more involved false-positive preempted-task splats
Consider the following sequence of events in a PREEMPT=y kernel:
1. All but one of the CPUs corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node
structure go offline. Each of these CPUs clears its bit in that
structure's ->qsmaskinitnext field.
2. A new grace period starts, and rcu_gp_init() scans the leaf
rcu_node structures, applying CPU-hotplug changes since the
start of the previous grace period, including those changes in
#1 above. This copies each leaf structure's ->qsmaskinitnext
to its ->qsmask field, which represents the CPUs that this new
grace period will wait on. Each copy operation is done holding
the corresponding leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock, and at the
end of this scan, rcu_gp_init() holds no locks.
3. The last CPU corresponding to #1's leaf rcu_node structure goes
offline, clearing its bit in that structure's ->qsmaskinitnext
field, but not touching the ->qsmaskinit field. Note that
rcu_gp_init() is not currently holding any locks! This CPU does
-not- report a quiescent state because the grace period has not
yet initialized itself sufficiently to have set any bits in any
of the leaf rcu_node structures' ->qsmask fields.
4. The rcu_gp_init() function continues initializing the new grace
period, copying each leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmaskinit
field to its ->qsmask field while holding the corresponding ->lock.
This sets the ->qsmask bit corresponding to #3's CPU.
5. Before the grace period ends, #3's CPU comes back online.
Because te grace period has not yet done any force-quiescent-state
scans (which would report a quiescent state on behalf of any
offline CPUs), this CPU's ->qsmask bit is still set.
6. A task running on the newly onlined CPU is preempted while in
an RCU read-side critical section. Because this CPU's ->qsmask
bit is net, not only does this task queue itself on the leaf
rcu_node structure's ->blkd_tasks list, it also sets that
structure's ->gp_tasks pointer to reference it.
7. The grace period started in #1 above comes to an end. This
results in rcu_gp_cleanup() being invoked, which, among other
things, checks to make sure that there are no tasks blocking the
just-ended grace period, that is, that all ->gp_tasks pointers
are NULL. The ->gp_tasks pointer corresponding to the task
preempted in #3 above is non-NULL, which results in a splat.
This splat is a false positive. The task's RCU read-side critical
section cannot have begun before the just-ended grace period because
this would mean either: (1) The CPU came online before the grace period
started, which cannot have happened because the grace period started
before that CPU went offline, or (2) The task started its RCU read-side
critical section on some other CPU, but then it would have had to have
been preempted before migrating to this CPU, which would mean that it
would have instead queued itself on that other CPU's rcu_node structure.
RCU's grace periods thus are working correctly. Or, more accurately,
that remaining bugs in RCU's grace periods are elsewhere.
This commit eliminates this false positive by adding code to the end
of rcu_cpu_starting() that reports a quiescent state to RCU, which has
the side-effect of clearing that CPU's ->qsmask bit, preventing the
above scenario. This approach has the added benefit of more promptly
reporting quiescent states corresponding to offline CPUs. Nevertheless,
this commit does -not- remove the need for the force-quiescent-state
scans to check for offline CPUs, given that a CPU might remain offline
indefinitely. And without the checks in the force-quiescent-state scans,
the grace period would also persist indefinitely, which could result in
hangs or memory exhaustion.
Note well that the call to rcu_report_qs_rnp() reporting the quiescent
state must come -after- the setting of this CPU's bit in the leaf rcu_node
structure's ->qsmaskinitnext field. Otherwise, lockdep-RCU will complain
bitterly about quiescent states coming from an offline CPU.

Commit
0aa04b055e71 ("rcu: Process offlining and onlining only at
grace-period start") deferred handling of CPU-hotplug events until the
start of the next grace period, but consider the following sequence
of events:
1. A task is preempted within an RCU-preempt read-side critical
section.
2. The CPU that this task was running on goes offline, along with all
other CPUs sharing the corresponding leaf rcu_node structure.
3. The task resumes execution.
4. One of those CPUs comes back online before a new grace period starts.
In step 2, the code in the next rcu_gp_init() invocation will (correctly)
defer removing the leaf rcu_node structure from the upper-level bitmasks,
and will (correctly) set that structure's ->wait_blkd_tasks field. During
the ensuing interval, RCU will (correctly) track the tasks preempted on
that structure because they must block any subsequent grace period.
In step 3, the code in rcu_read_unlock_special() will (correctly) remove
the task from the leaf rcu_node structure. From this point forward, RCU
need not pay attention to this structure, at least not until one of the
corresponding CPUs comes back online.
In step 4, the code in the next rcu_gp_init() invocation will
(incorrectly) invoke rcu_init_new_rnp(). This is incorrect because
the corresponding rcu_cleanup_dead_rnp() was never invoked. This is
nevertheless harmless because the upper-level bits are still set.
So, no harm, no foul, right?
At least, all is well until a little further into rcu_gp_init()
invocation, which will notice that there are no longer any tasks blocked
on the leaf rcu_node structure, conclude that there is no longer anything
left over from step 2's offline operation, and will therefore invoke
rcu_cleanup_dead_rnp(). But this invocation of rcu_cleanup_dead_rnp()
is for the beginning of the earlier offline interval, and the previous
invocation of rcu_init_new_rnp() is for the end of that same interval.
That is right, they are invoked out of order.
That cannot be good, can it?
It turns out that this is not a (correctness!) problem because
rcu_cleanup_dead_rnp() checks to see if any of the corresponding CPUs
are online, and refuses to do anything if so. In other words, in the
case where rcu_init_new_rnp() and rcu_cleanup_dead_rnp() execute out of
order, they both have no effect.
But this is at best an accident waiting to happen.
This commit therefore adds logic to rcu_gp_init() so that
rcu_init_new_rnp() and rcu_cleanup_dead_rnp() are always invoked in
order, and so that neither are invoked at all in cases where RCU had to
pay attention to the leaf rcu_node structure during the entire time that
all corresponding CPUs were offline.
And, while in the area, this commit reduces confusion by using formal
parameters rather than local variables that just happen to have the same
value at that particular point in the code.

rcu: Fix cpustart tracepoint gp_seq number
The "cpustart" trace event shows a stale gp_seq. This is because it uses
rdp->gp_seq, which is updated only at the end of the __note_gp_changes()

An alternative fix would be to update rdp->gp_seq earlier, but this would

torture: Use a single build directory for torture scenarios
The torture scripting currently builds each kernel from a set of parallel
runs in its own build directory. This can waste quite a bit of space when
running large numbers of concurrent scenarios, and pointlessly given that
the builds are run sequentially (albeit with a largish -j number passed to
"make"). This commit therefore places all build-command output in the
results directory, then does all builds in a single "b1" build directory.

srcu: Introduce srcu_read_{un,}lock_notrace()
Joel Fernandes is using SRCU to protect from-idle tracepoints, which

rcu: Make expedited grace period use direct call on last leaf
During expedited grace-period initialization, a work item is scheduled
for each leaf rcu_node structure. However, that initialization code
is itself (normally) executing from a workqueue, so one of the leaf
rcu_node structures could just as well be handled by that pre-existing
workqueue, and with less overhead. This commit therefore uses a
shiny new rcu_is_leaf_node() macro to execute the last leaf rcu_node
structure's initialization directly from the pre-existing workqueue.
