[ Upstream commit 6494ccb93271bee596a12db32ff44867d5be2321 ]

In rcu_nmi_enter(), there is an erroneous instrumentation_end() in the
second branch of the "if" statement.  Oddly enough, "objtool check -f
vmlinux.o" fails to complain because it is unable to correctly cover
all cases.  Instead, objtool visits the third branch first, which marks
following trace_rcu_dyntick() as visited.  This commit therefore removes
the spurious instrumentation_end().

Fixes: 04b25a495bd6 ("rcu: Mark rcu_nmi_enter() call to rcu_cleanup_after_idle() noinstr")

[ Upstream commit ee6ddf58475cce8a3d3697614679cd8cb4a6f583 ]

Running an rcuscale stress-suite can lead to "Out of memory" of a
system. This can happen under high memory pressure with a small amount
of physical memory.

For example, a KVM test configuration with 64 CPUs and 512 megabytes
can result in OOM when running rcuscale with below parameters:

../kvm.sh --torture rcuscale --allcpus --duration 10 --kconfig CONFIG_NR_CPUS=64 \
--bootargs "rcuscale.kfree_rcu_test=1 rcuscale.kfree_nthreads=16 rcuscale.holdoff=20 \
  rcuscale.kfree_loops=10000 torture.disable_onoff_at_boot" --trust-make

&lt;snip&gt;

Because kvfree_rcu() has a fallback path, memory allocation failure is
not the end of the world.  Furthermore, the added overhead of aggressive
GFP settings must be balanced against the overhead of the fallback path,
which is a cache miss for double-argument kvfree_rcu() and a call to
synchronize_rcu() for single-argument kvfree_rcu().  The current choice
of GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_NOWARN can result in longer latencies than a call
to synchronize_rcu(), so less-tenacious GFP flags would be helpful.

Here is the tradeoff that must be balanced:
    a) Minimize use of the fallback path,
    b) Avoid pushing the system into OOM,
    c) Bound allocation latency to that of synchronize_rcu(), and
    d) Leave the emergency reserves to use cases lacking fallbacks.

This commit therefore changes GFP flags from GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_NOWARN to
GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_NORETRY|__GFP_NOMEMALLOC|__GFP_NOWARN.  This combination
leaves the emergency reserves alone and can initiate reclaim, but will
not invoke the OOM killer.

commit 4ae7dc97f726ea95c58ac58af71cc034ad22d7de upstream.

Following the idle loop model, cleanly check for pending rcuog wakeup
before the last rescheduling point upon resuming to guest mode. This
way we can avoid to do it from rcu_user_enter() with the last resort
self-IPI hack that enforces rescheduling.

commit f8bb5cae9616224a39cbb399de382d36ac41df10 upstream.

Entering RCU idle mode may cause a deferred wake up of an RCU NOCB_GP
kthread (rcuog) to be serviced.

Unfortunately the call to rcu_user_enter() is already past the last
rescheduling opportunity before we resume to userspace or to guest mode.
We may escape there with the woken task ignored.

The ultimate resort to fix every callsites is to trigger a self-IPI
(nohz_full depends on arch to implement arch_irq_work_raise()) that will
trigger a reschedule on IRQ tail or guest exit.

Eventually every site that want a saner treatment will need to carefully
place a call to rcu_nocb_flush_deferred_wakeup() before the last explicit
need_resched() check upon resume.

<title>rcu/nocb: Perform deferred wake up before last idle's need_resched() check</title>

commit 43789ef3f7d61aa7bed0cb2764e588fc990c30ef upstream.

Entering RCU idle mode may cause a deferred wake up of an RCU NOCB_GP
kthread (rcuog) to be serviced.

Usually a local wake up happening while running the idle task is handled
in one of the need_resched() checks carefully placed within the idle
loop that can break to the scheduler.

Unfortunately the call to rcu_idle_enter() is already beyond the last
generic need_resched() check and we may halt the CPU with a resched
request unhandled, leaving the task hanging.

Fix this with splitting the rcuog wakeup handling from rcu_idle_enter()
and place it before the last generic need_resched() check in the idle
loop. It is then assumed that no call to call_rcu() will be performed
after that in the idle loop until the CPU is put in low power mode.

commit 43789ef3f7d61aa7bed0cb2764e588fc990c30ef upstream.

Entering RCU idle mode may cause a deferred wake up of an RCU NOCB_GP
kthread (rcuog) to be serviced.

Usually a local wake up happening while running the idle task is handled
in one of the need_resched() checks carefully placed within the idle
loop that can break to the scheduler.

Unfortunately the call to rcu_idle_enter() is already beyond the last
generic need_resched() check and we may halt the CPU with a resched
request unhandled, leaving the task hanging.

Fix this with splitting the rcuog wakeup handling from rcu_idle_enter()
and place it before the last generic need_resched() check in the idle
loop. It is then assumed that no call to call_rcu() will be performed
after that in the idle loop until the CPU is put in low power mode.

commit 54b7429efffc99e845ba9381bee3244f012a06c2 upstream.

Deferred wakeup of rcuog kthreads upon RCU idle mode entry is going to
be handled differently whether initiated by idle, user or guest. Prepare
with pulling that control up to rcu_eqs_enter() callers.

Pull scheduler updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - migrate_disable/enable() support which originates from the RT tree
   and is now a prerequisite for the new preemptible kmap_local() API
   which aims to replace kmap_atomic().

 - A fair amount of topology and NUMA related improvements

 - Improvements for the frequency invariant calculations

 - Enhanced robustness for the global CPU priority tracking and decision
   making

 - The usual small fixes and enhancements all over the place
