[ Upstream commit 0cae5ded535c3a80aed94f119bbd4ee3ae284a65 ]

Currently, RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() checks the condition before checking
to see if lockdep is still enabled.  This is necessary to avoid the
false-positive splats fixed by commit 3066820034b5dd ("rcu: Reject
RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() false positives").  However, the current state can
result in false-positive splats during early boot before lockdep is fully
initialized.  This commit therefore checks debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled()
both before and after checking the condition, thus avoiding both sets
of false-positive error reports.

<title>rcu-tasks: Fix synchronize_rcu_tasks() VS zap_pid_ns_processes()</title>

[ Upstream commit 28319d6dc5e2ffefa452c2377dd0f71621b5bff0 ]

RCU Tasks and PID-namespace unshare can interact in do_exit() in a
complicated circular dependency:

1) TASK A calls unshare(CLONE_NEWPID), this creates a new PID namespace
   that every subsequent child of TASK A will belong to. But TASK A
   doesn't itself belong to that new PID namespace.

2) TASK A forks() and creates TASK B. TASK A stays attached to its PID
   namespace (let's say PID_NS1) and TASK B is the first task belonging
   to the new PID namespace created by unshare()  (let's call it PID_NS2).

3) Since TASK B is the first task attached to PID_NS2, it becomes the
   PID_NS2 child reaper.

4) TASK A forks() again and creates TASK C which get attached to PID_NS2.
   Note how TASK C has TASK A as a parent (belonging to PID_NS1) but has
   TASK B (belonging to PID_NS2) as a pid_namespace child_reaper.

5) TASK B exits and since it is the child reaper for PID_NS2, it has to
   kill all other tasks attached to PID_NS2, and wait for all of them to
   die before getting reaped itself (zap_pid_ns_process()).

6) TASK A calls synchronize_rcu_tasks() which leads to
   synchronize_srcu(&amp;tasks_rcu_exit_srcu).

7) TASK B is waiting for TASK C to get reaped. But TASK B is under a
   tasks_rcu_exit_srcu SRCU critical section (exit_notify() is between
   exit_tasks_rcu_start() and exit_tasks_rcu_finish()), blocking TASK A.

8) TASK C exits and since TASK A is its parent, it waits for it to reap
   TASK C, but it can't because TASK A waits for TASK B that waits for
   TASK C.

Pid_namespace semantics can hardly be changed at this point. But the
coverage of tasks_rcu_exit_srcu can be reduced instead.

The current task is assumed not to be concurrently reapable at this
stage of exit_notify() and therefore tasks_rcu_exit_srcu can be
temporarily relaxed without breaking its constraints, providing a way
out of the deadlock scenario.

<title>rcu: Make call_rcu() lazy to save power</title>

<content type='text'>
Implement timer-based RCU callback batching (also known as lazy
callbacks). With this we save about 5-10% of power consumed due
to RCU requests that happen when system is lightly loaded or idle.

By default, all async callbacks (queued via call_rcu) are marked
lazy. An alternate API call_rcu_hurry() is provided for the few users,
for example synchronize_rcu(), that need the old behavior.

The batch is flushed whenever a certain amount of time has passed, or
the batch on a particular CPU grows too big. Also memory pressure will
flush it in a future patch.

To handle several corner cases automagically (such as rcu_barrier() and
hotplug), we re-use bypass lists which were originally introduced to
address lock contention, to handle lazy CBs as well. The bypass list
length has the lazy CB length included in it. A separate lazy CB length
counter is also introduced to keep track of the number of lazy CBs.

[ paulmck: Fix formatting of inline call_rcu_lazy() definition. ]
[ paulmck: Apply Zqiang feedback. ]
[ paulmck: Apply s/call_rcu_flush/call_rcu_hurry/ feedback from Tejun Heo. ]

Provide an implementation for debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled() when
CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is not enabled. This allows code to check
if rcu lockdep debugging is available without needing an extra
check if CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is enabled.

<content type='text'>
As an accident of implementation, an RCU Tasks Trace grace period also
acts as an RCU grace period.  However, this could change at any time.
This commit therefore creates an rcu_trace_implies_rcu_gp() that currently
returns true to codify this accident.  Code relying on this accident
must call this function to verify that this accident is still happening.

<title>rcu: Add functions to compare grace-period state values</title>

<id>18538248e5486b0f0e8581083de275176674cd1f</id>
<content type='text'>
This commit adds same_state_synchronize_rcu() and
same_state_synchronize_rcu_full() functions to compare grace-period state
values, for example, those obtained from get_state_synchronize_rcu()
and get_state_synchronize_rcu_full().  These functions allow small
structures to omit these state values by placing them in list headers for
lists containing structures with the same token value.  Presumably the
per-structure list pointers are the same ones used to link the structures
into whatever reader-accessible data structure was used.

This commit also adds both NUM_ACTIVE_RCU_POLL_OLDSTATE and
NUM_ACTIVE_RCU_POLL_FULL_OLDSTATE, which define the maximum number of
distinct unsigned long values and rcu_gp_oldstate values, respectively,
corresponding to not-yet-completed grace periods.  These values can be
used to size arrays of the list headers described above.

<title>rcu: Add full-sized polling for get_completed*() and poll_state*()</title>

<content type='text'>
The get_completed_synchronize_rcu() and poll_state_synchronize_rcu()
APIs compress the combined expedited and normal grace-period states into a
single unsigned long, which conserves storage, but can miss grace periods
in certain cases involving overlapping normal and expedited grace periods.
Missing the occasional grace period is usually not a problem, but there
are use cases that care about each and every grace period.

This commit therefore adds the first members of the full-state RCU
grace-period polling API, namely the get_completed_synchronize_rcu_full()
and poll_state_synchronize_rcu_full() functions.  These use up to three
times the storage (rcu_gp_oldstate structure instead of unsigned long),
but which are guaranteed not to miss grace periods, at least in situations
where the single-CPU grace-period optimization does not apply.
