commit b813afae7ab6a5e91b4e16cc567331d9c2ae1f04 upstream.
If the specified rcutorture.torture_type is not in the rcu_torture_init()
function's torture_ops[] array, rcutorture prints some console messages
and then invokes rcu_torture_cleanup() to set state so that a future
torture test can run. However, rcu_torture_cleanup() also attempts to
end the test that didn't actually start, and in doing so relies on the
value of cur_ops, a value that is not particularly relevant in this case.
This can result in confusing output or even follow-on failures due to
attempts to use facilities that have not been properly initialized.
This commit therefore sets the value of cur_ops to NULL in this case
and inserts a check near the beginning of rcu_torture_cleanup(),
thus avoiding relying on an irrelevant cur_ops value.

[ Upstream commit 622be33fcbc93e9b672b99ed338369eb5e843ac3 ]
The get_seconds() call is deprecated because it overflows on 32-bit
architectures. The algorithm in rcu_torture_stall() can deal with
the overflow, but another problem here is that using a CLOCK_REALTIME
stamp can lead to a false-positive stall warning when a settimeofday()
happens concurrently.
Using ktime_get_seconds() instead avoids those issues and will never
overflow. The added cast to 'unsigned long' however is necessary to
make ULONG_CMP_LT() work correctly.

The vmalloc() function has no 2-factor argument form, so multiplication
factors need to be wrapped in array_size(). This patch replaces cases of:
vmalloc(a * b)
with:
vmalloc(array_size(a, b))
as well as handling cases of:
vmalloc(a * b * c)
with:
vmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c))
This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:
vmalloc(4 * 1024)
though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.
Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.
The Coccinelle script used for this was:

The current cleanup_srcu_struct() flushes work, which prevents it
from being invoked from some workqueue contexts, as well as from
atomic (non-blocking) contexts. This patch therefore introduced a
cleanup_srcu_struct_quiesced(), which can be invoked only after all
activity on the specified srcu_struct has completed. This restriction
allows cleanup_srcu_struct_quiesced() to be invoked from workqueue
contexts as well as from atomic contexts.

The rcu_torture_writer() function adapts to requested testing from module
parameters as well as the function pointers in the structure referenced
by cur_ops. However, as long as the module parameters do not conflict
with the function pointers, this adaptation is silent. This silence can
result in confusion as to exactly what was tested, which could in turn
result in untested RCU code making its way into mainline.
This commit therefore makes rcu_torture_writer() announce exactly which
portions of RCU's API it ends up testing.

During boot, normal grace periods are processed as expedited. When
rcutorture is built into the kernel, it starts during boot and thus
detects that normal grace periods are unconditionally expedited.
Therefore, rcutorture concludes that there is no point in trying
to dynamically enable expediting, do it disables this aspect of testing,
which is a bit of an overreaction to the temporary boot-time expediting.
This commit therefore rechecks forced expediting throughout the test,
enabling dynamic expediting if normal grace periods are processed
normally at any point.

Currently the rcu_torture_fakewriter() function invokes cur_ops->sync()
and cur_ops->exp_sync() without first checking to see if they are in
fact non-NULL. This results in kernel NULL pointer dereferences when
testing RCU implementations that choose not to provide the full set of
primitives. Given that it is perfectly reasonable to have specialized
RCU implementations that provide only a subset of the RCU API, this is
a bug in rcutorture.
This commit therefore makes rcu_torture_fakewriter() check function
pointers before invoking them, thus allowing it to test subsetted
RCU implementations.

The purpose of torture_runnable is to allow rcutorture and locktorture
to be started and stopped via sysfs when they are built into the kernel
(as in not compiled as loadable modules). However, the 0444 permissions
for both instances of torture_runnable prevent this use case from ever
being put into practice. Given that there have been no complaints
about this deficiency, it is reasonable to conclude that no one actually
makes use of this sysfs capability. The perf_runnable module parameter
for rcuperf is in the same situation.
This commit therefore removes both torture_runnable instances as well
as perf_runnable.

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Yet another big pile of changes:
- More year 2038 work from Arnd slowly reaching the point where we
need to think about the syscalls themself.
- A new timer function which allows to conditionally (re)arm a timer
only when it's either not running or the new expiry time is sooner
than the armed expiry time. This allows to use a single timer for
multiple timeout requirements w/o caring about the first expiry
time at the call site.
- A new NMI safe accessor to clock real time for the printk timestamp
work. Can be used by tracing, perf as well if required.
- A large number of timer setup conversions from Kees which got
collected here because either maintainers requested so or they
simply got ignored. As Kees pointed out already there are a few
trivial merge conflicts and some redundant commits which was
unavoidable due to the size of this conversion effort.
- Avoid a redundant iteration in the timer wheel softirq processing.
- Provide a mechanism to treat RTC implementations depending on their
hardware properties, i.e. don't inflict the write at the 0.5
seconds boundary which originates from the PC CMOS RTC to all RTCs.
No functional change as drivers need to be updated separately.
- The usual small updates to core code clocksource drivers. Nothing
really exciting"

When rcutorture sees the rcutorture.stall_cpu kernel boot parameter,
it loops with preemption disabled, which does in fact normally
generate an RCU CPU stall warning message. However, there are test

This commit therefore adds an rcutorture.stall_cpu_irqsoff kernel

It appears that at least some of the rcutorture writer stall messages
coincide with unusually long CPU-online operations, for example, no
fewer than 205 seconds in a recent test. It is of course possible that
the writer stall is not unrelated to this unusually long CPU-hotplug
operation, and so this commit adds the rcutorture writer task's CPU to
the stall message to gain more information about this possible connection.

Peter Zijlstra proposed using SRCU to reduce mmap_sem contention [1,2],
however, there are workloads that could result in a high volume of
concurrent invocations of call_srcu(), which with current SRCU would
result in excessive lock contention on the srcu_struct structure's
->queue_lock, which protects SRCU's callback lists. This commit therefore
moves SRCU to per-CPU callback lists, thus greatly reducing contention.
Because a given SRCU instance no longer has a single centralized callback
list, starting grace periods and invoking callbacks are both more complex
than in the single-list Classic SRCU implementation. Starting grace
periods and handling callbacks are now handled using an srcu_node tree
that is in some ways similar to the rcu_node trees used by RCU-bh,
RCU-preempt, and RCU-sched (for example, the srcu_node tree shape is
controlled by exactly the same Kconfig options and boot parameters that
control the shape of the rcu_node tree).
In addition, the old per-CPU srcu_array structure is now named srcu_data
and contains an rcu_segcblist structure named ->srcu_cblist for its
callbacks (and a spinlock to protect this). The srcu_struct gets
an srcu_gp_seq that is used to associate callback segments with the
corresponding completion-time grace-period number. These completion-time
grace-period numbers are propagated up the srcu_node tree so that the
grace-period workqueue handler can determine whether additional grace
periods are needed on the one hand and where to look for callbacks that
are ready to be invoked.
The srcu_barrier() function must now wait on all instances of the per-CPU
->srcu_cblist. Because each ->srcu_cblist is protected by ->lock,
srcu_barrier() can remotely add the needed callbacks. In theory,
it could also remotely start grace periods, but in practice doing so
is complex and racy. And interestingly enough, it is never necessary
for srcu_barrier() to start a grace period because srcu_barrier() only
enqueues a callback when a callback is already present--and it turns out
that a grace period has to have already been started for this pre-existing
callback. Furthermore, it is only the callback that srcu_barrier()
needs to wait on, not any particular grace period. Therefore, a new
rcu_segcblist_entrain() function enqueues the srcu_barrier() function's
callback into the same segment occupied by the last pre-existing callback
in the list. The special case where all the pre-existing callbacks are
on a different list (because they are in the process of being invoked)
is handled by enqueuing srcu_barrier()'s callback into the RCU_DONE_TAIL
segment, relying on the done-callbacks check that takes place after all
callbacks are inovked.
Note that the readers use the same algorithm as before. Note that there
is a separate srcu_idx that tells the readers what counter to increment.
This unfortunately cannot be combined with srcu_gp_seq because they
need to be incremented at different times.
This commit introduces some ugly #ifdefs in rcutorture. These will go
away when I feel good enough about Tree SRCU to ditch Classic SRCU.
Some crude performance comparisons, courtesy of a quickly hacked rcuperf
asynchronous-grace-period capability:
Callback Queuing Overhead
-------------------------
# CPUS Classic SRCU Tree SRCU
------ ------------ ---------
2 0.349 us 0.342 us
16 31.66 us 0.4 us
41 --------- 0.417 us
The times are the 90th percentiles, a statistic that was chosen to reject
the overheads of the occasional srcu_barrier() call needed to avoid OOMing
the test machine. The rcuperf test hangs when running Classic SRCU at 41
CPUs, hence the line of dashes. Despite the hacks to both the rcuperf code
and that statistics, this is a convincing demonstration of Tree SRCU's
performance and scalability advantages.

on RCU_EXPERT. The default is to use the new TREE_SRCU and TINY_SRCU
algorithms, in order to help get these the testing that they need.
However, if your users do not require the update-side scalability that
is to be provided by TREE_SRCU, select RCU_EXPERT and then CLASSIC_SRCU
to revert back to the old classic SRCU algorithm.

The srcu_torture_stats() function is adapted to the specific srcu_struct
layout traditionally used by SRCU. This commit therefore adds support
for Tiny SRCU.

SRCU uses two per-cpu counters: a nesting counter to count the number of
active critical sections, and a sequence counter to ensure that the nesting
counters don't change while they are being added together in
srcu_readers_active_idx_check().
This patch instead uses per-cpu lock and unlock counters. Because both
counters only increase and srcu_readers_active_idx_check() reads the unlock
counter before the lock counter, this achieves the same end without having
to increment two different counters in srcu_read_lock(). This also saves a
smp_mb() in srcu_readers_active_idx_check().
Possible bug: There is no guarantee that the lock counter won't overflow
during srcu_readers_active_idx_check(), as there are no memory barriers
around srcu_flip() (see comment in srcu_readers_active_idx_check() for
details). However, this problem was already present before this patch.

Although rcutorture will occasionally do a 50-millisecond grace-period
delay, these delays are quite rare. And rightly so, because otherwise
the read rate would be quite low. Thie means that it can be important
to identify whether or not a given run contained a long-delay read.
This commit therefore inserts a trace_rcu_torture_read() event to flag
runs containing long delays.

Tests for rcu_barrier() were introduced by commit fae4b54f28f0 ("rcu:
Introduce rcutorture testing for rcu_barrier()"). This commit updated
the documentation to say that the "rtbe" field in rcutorture's dmesg
output indicates test failure. However, the code was not updated, only
the documentation. This commit therefore updates the code to match the
updated documentation.

This commit adds a dump of the scheduler state for stalled rcutorture
writer tasks. This addition provides yet more debug for the intermittent
"failures to proceed", where grace periods move ahead but the rcutorture
writer tasks fail to do so.

Mutation testing carried out by Iftekhar Ahmed of Oregon State
University showed that rcutorture is failing to test invocations
of call_rcu() having interrupts disabled. This commit therefore
adds interrupt disabling around one of the existing invocations
of call_rcu() (and friends).

The hotplug notifier rcutorture_cpu_notify() doesn't consider the
corresponding CPU_XXX_FROZEN transitions. They occur on
suspend/resume and are usually handled the same way as the
corresponding non frozen transitions.
Mask the switch case action argument with '~CPU_TASKS_FROZEN' to map
CPU_XXX_FROZEN hotplug transitions on corresponding non-frozen
transitions.

The current code initializes the global per-CPU variables
rcu_torture_count and rcu_torture_batch to zero. However, C does this
initialization by default, and explicit initialization of per-CPU
variables now needs a different syntax if "make tags" is to work.
This commit therefore removes the initialization.

Currently, rcu_torture_writer() checks only for rcu_gp_is_expedited()
when deciding whether or not to do dynamic control of RCU expediting.
This means that if rcupdate.rcu_normal is specified, rcu_torture_writer()
will attempt to dynamically control RCU expediting, but will nonetheless
only test normal RCU grace periods. This commit therefore adds a check
for !rcu_gp_is_normal(), and prints a message and desists from testing
dynamic control of RCU expediting when doing so is futile.
