* rcu-tasks: Add Kconfig option to mediate smp_mb() vs. IPIPaul E. McKenney2020-04-271-0/+18
| | | | | | | | | | This commit provides a new TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB Kconfig option that enables use of read-side memory barriers by both rcu_read_lock_trace() and rcu_read_unlock_trace() when the are executed with the current->trc_reader_special.b.need_mb flag set. This flag is currently never set. Doing that is the subject of a later commit. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
* rcu-tasks: Add an RCU Tasks Trace to simplify protection of tracing hooksPaul E. McKenney2020-04-271-1/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because RCU does not watch exception early-entry/late-exit, idle-loop, or CPU-hotplug execution, protection of tracing and BPF operations is needlessly complicated. This commit therefore adds a variant of Tasks RCU that: o Has explicit read-side markers to allow finite grace periods in the face of in-kernel loops for PREEMPT=n builds. These markers are rcu_read_lock_trace() and rcu_read_unlock_trace(). o Protects code in the idle loop, exception entry/exit, and CPU-hotplug code paths. In this respect, RCU-tasks trace is similar to SRCU, but with lighter-weight readers. o Avoids expensive read-side instruction, having overhead similar to that of Preemptible RCU. There are of course downsides: o The grace-period code can send IPIs to CPUs, even when those CPUs are in the idle loop or in nohz_full userspace. This is mitigated by later commits. o It is necessary to scan the full tasklist, much as for Tasks RCU. o There is a single callback queue guarded by a single lock, again, much as for Tasks RCU. However, those early use cases that request multiple grace periods in quick succession are expected to do so from a single task, which makes the single lock almost irrelevant. If needed, multiple callback queues can be provided using any number of schemes. Perhaps most important, this variant of RCU does not affect the vanilla flavors, rcu_preempt and rcu_sched. The fact that RCU Tasks Trace readers can operate from idle, offline, and exception entry/exit in no way enables rcu_preempt and rcu_sched readers to do so. The memory ordering was outlined here: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200319034030.GX3199@paulmck-ThinkPad-P72/ This effort benefited greatly from off-list discussions of BPF requirements with Alexei Starovoitov and Andrii Nakryiko. At least some of the on-list discussions are captured in the Link: tags below. In addition, KCSAN was quite helpful in finding some early bugs.

* rcu-tasks: Add an RCU-tasks rude variantPaul E. McKenney2020-04-271-1/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit adds a "rude" variant of RCU-tasks that has as quiescent states schedule(), cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs(), userspace execution, and (in theory, anyway) cond_resched(). In other words, RCU-tasks rude readers are regions of code with preemption disabled, but excluding code early in the CPU-online sequence and late in the CPU-offline sequence. Updates make use of IPIs and force an IPI and a context switch on each online CPU. This variant is useful in some situations in tracing.

* rcu-tasks: Refactor RCU-tasks to allow variants to be addedPaul E. McKenney2020-04-271-2/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | This commit splits out generic processing from RCU-tasks-specific processing in order to allow additional flavors to be added. It also adds a def_bool TASKS_RCU_GENERIC to enable the common RCU-tasks infrastructure code. This is primarily, but not entirely, a code-movement commit. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

* rcu: Use CONFIG_PREEMPTION where appropriateSebastian Andrzej Siewior2019-12-091-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The config option `CONFIG_PREEMPT' is used for the preemption model "Low-Latency Desktop". The config option `CONFIG_PREEMPTION' is enabled when kernel preemption is enabled which is true for the preemption model `CONFIG_PREEMPT' and `CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT'. Use `CONFIG_PREEMPTION' if it applies to both preemption models and not just to `CONFIG_PREEMPT'. Cc: "Paul E.

* rcu: Make PREEMPT_RCU be a modifier to TREE_RCULai Jiangshan2019-12-091-6/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently PREEMPT_RCU and TREE_RCU are mutually exclusive Kconfig options. But PREEMPT_RCU actually specifies a kind of TREE_RCU, namely a preemptible TREE_RCU. This commit therefore makes PREEMPT_RCU be a modifer to the TREE_RCU Kconfig option. This has the benefit of simplifying several of the #if expressions that formerly needed to check both, but now need only check one or the other.

* rcu: Use CONFIG_PREEMPTIONThomas Gleixner2019-07-311-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CONFIG_PREEMPTION is selected by CONFIG_PREEMPT and by CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT. Both PREEMPT and PREEMPT_RT require the same functionality which today depends on CONFIG_PREEMPT. Switch the conditionals in RCU to use CONFIG_PREEMPTION. That's the first step towards RCU on RT. The further tweaks are work in progress. This neither touches the selftest bits which need a closer look by Paul.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Both CONTEXT_TRACKING and CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE are currently defined in kernel/rcu/kconfig, which might have made sense at some point, but no longer does given that RCU refers to neither of these Kconfig options.

* rcu: Drive TASKS_RCU directly off of PREEMPTPaul E. McKenney2017-08-171-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The actual use of TASKS_RCU is only when PREEMPT, otherwise RCU-sched is used instead. This commit therefore makes synchronize_rcu_tasks() and call_rcu_tasks() available always, but mapped to synchronize_sched() and call_rcu_sched(), respectively, when !PREEMPT. This approach also allows some #ifdefs to be removed from rcutorture. Reported-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
