<title>rcu/nocb: Make IRQs disablement symmetric</title>

[ Upstream commit b913c3fe685e0aec80130975b0f330fd709ff324 ]

Currently IRQs are disabled on call_rcu() and then depending on the
context:

* If the CPU is in nocb mode:

   - If the callback is enqueued in the bypass list, IRQs are re-enabled
     implictly by rcu_nocb_try_bypass()

   - If the callback is enqueued in the normal list, IRQs are re-enabled
     implicitly by __call_rcu_nocb_wake()

* If the CPU is NOT in nocb mode, IRQs are reenabled explicitly from call_rcu()

This makes the code a bit hard to follow, especially as it interleaves
with nocb locking.

To make the IRQ flags coverage clearer and also in order to prepare for
moving all the nocb enqueue code to its own function, always re-enable
the IRQ flags explicitly from call_rcu().

<title>rcu: Eliminate rcu_gp_slow_unregister() false positive</title>

[ Upstream commit 0ae9942f03d0d034fdb0a4f44fc99f62a3107987 ]

When using rcutorture as a module, there are a number of conditions that
can abort the modprobe operation, for example, when attempting to run
both RCU CPU stall warning tests and forward-progress tests.  This can
cause rcu_torture_cleanup() to be invoked on the unwind path out of
rcu_rcu_torture_init(), which will mean that rcu_gp_slow_unregister()
is invoked without a matching rcu_gp_slow_register().  This will cause
a splat because rcu_gp_slow_unregister() is passed rcu_fwd_cb_nodelay,
which does not match a NULL pointer.

This commit therefore forgives a mismatch involving a NULL pointer, thus
avoiding this false-positive splat.

<title>rcu: Dump memory object info if callback function is invalid</title>

[ Upstream commit 2cbc482d325ee58001472c4359b311958c4efdd1 ]

When a structure containing an RCU callback rhp is (incorrectly) freed
and reallocated after rhp is passed to call_rcu(), it is not unusual for
rhp-&gt;func to be set to NULL. This defeats the debugging prints used by
__call_rcu_common() in kernels built with CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD=y,
which expect to identify the offending code using the identity of this
function.

And in kernels build without CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD=y, things
are even worse, as can be seen from this splat:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0
... ...
PC is at 0x0
LR is at rcu_do_batch+0x1c0/0x3b8
... ...

 (do_idle) from (cpu_startup_entry+0x18/0x20)
 (cpu_startup_entry) from (0xc01530)

This commit therefore adds calls to mem_dump_obj(rhp) to output some
information, for example:

  slab kmalloc-256 start ffff410c45019900 pointer offset 0 size 256

This provides the rough size of the memory block and the offset of the
rcu_head structure, which as least provides at least a few clues to help
locate the problem. If the problem is reproducible, additional slab
debugging can be enabled, for example, CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y, which can
provide significantly more information.

<title>rcu: Fix rcu_barrier() VS post CPUHP_TEARDOWN_CPU invocation</title>

[ Upstream commit 55d4669ef1b76823083caecfab12a8bd2ccdcf64 ]

When rcu_barrier() calls rcu_rdp_cpu_online() and observes a CPU off
rnp-&gt;qsmaskinitnext, it means that all accesses from the offline CPU
preceding the CPUHP_TEARDOWN_CPU are visible to RCU barrier, including
callbacks expiration and counter updates.

However interrupts can still fire after stop_machine() re-enables
interrupts and before rcutree_report_cpu_dead(). The related accesses
happening between CPUHP_TEARDOWN_CPU and rnp-&gt;qsmaskinitnext clearing
are _NOT_ guaranteed to be seen by rcu_barrier() without proper
ordering, especially when callbacks are invoked there to the end, making
rcutree_migrate_callback() bypass barrier_lock.

The following theoretical race example can make rcu_barrier() hang:

CPU 0                                               CPU 1
-----                                               -----
//cpu_down()
smpboot_park_threads()
//ksoftirqd is parked now
&lt;IRQ&gt;
rcu_sched_clock_irq()
   invoke_rcu_core()
do_softirq()
   rcu_core()
      rcu_do_batch()
         // callback storm
         // rcu_do_batch() returns
         // before completing all
         // of them
   // do_softirq also returns early because of
   // timeout. It defers to ksoftirqd but
   // it's parked
&lt;/IRQ&gt;
stop_machine()
   take_cpu_down()
                                                    rcu_barrier()
                                                        spin_lock(barrier_lock)
                                                        // observes rcu_segcblist_n_cbs(&amp;rdp-&gt;cblist) != 0

This could be solved with a read memory barrier, enforcing the message
passing between rnp-&gt;qsmaskinitnext and rsclp-&gt;len, matching the full
memory barrier after rsclp-&gt;len addition in rcu_segcblist_add_len()
performed at the end of rcu_do_batch().

However the rcu_barrier() is complicated enough and probably doesn't
need too many more subtleties. CPU down is a slowpath and the
barrier_lock seldom contended. Solve the issue with unconditionally
locking the barrier_lock on rcutree_migrate_callbacks(). This makes sure
that either rcu_barrier() sees the empty queue or its entrained
callback will be migrated.

[ Upstream commit 55d4669ef1b76823083caecfab12a8bd2ccdcf64 ]

When rcu_barrier() calls rcu_rdp_cpu_online() and observes a CPU off
rnp-&gt;qsmaskinitnext, it means that all accesses from the offline CPU
preceding the CPUHP_TEARDOWN_CPU are visible to RCU barrier, including
callbacks expiration and counter updates.

However interrupts can still fire after stop_machine() re-enables
interrupts and before rcutree_report_cpu_dead(). The related accesses
happening between CPUHP_TEARDOWN_CPU and rnp-&gt;qsmaskinitnext clearing
are _NOT_ guaranteed to be seen by rcu_barrier() without proper
ordering, especially when callbacks are invoked there to the end, making
rcutree_migrate_callback() bypass barrier_lock.

The following theoretical race example can make rcu_barrier() hang:

CPU 0                                               CPU 1
-----                                               -----
//cpu_down()
smpboot_park_threads()
//ksoftirqd is parked now
&lt;IRQ&gt;
rcu_sched_clock_irq()
   invoke_rcu_core()
do_softirq()
   rcu_core()
      rcu_do_batch()
         // callback storm
         // rcu_do_batch() returns
         // before completing all
         // of them
   // do_softirq also returns early because of
   // timeout. It defers to ksoftirqd but
   // it's parked
&lt;/IRQ&gt;
stop_machine()
   take_cpu_down()
                                                    rcu_barrier()

Under CONFIG_RCU_EXP_KTHREAD=y, the nodes initialization for expedited
grace periods is queued to a kworker. However if the allocation of that
kworker failed, the nodes initialization is performed synchronously by
the caller instead.

Now the check for kworker initialization failure relies on the kworker
pointer to be NULL while its value might actually encapsulate an
allocation failure error.

Make sure to handle this case.

<title>rcu: Defer RCU kthreads wakeup when CPU is dying</title>

[ Upstream commit e787644caf7628ad3269c1fbd321c3255cf51710 ]

When the CPU goes idle for the last time during the CPU down hotplug
process, RCU reports a final quiescent state for the current CPU. If
this quiescent state propagates up to the top, some tasks may then be
woken up to complete the grace period: the main grace period kthread
and/or the expedited main workqueue (or kworker).

If those kthreads have a SCHED_FIFO policy, the wake up can indirectly
arm the RT bandwith timer to the local offline CPU. Since this happens
after hrtimers have been migrated at CPUHP_AP_HRTIMERS_DYING stage, the
timer gets ignored. Therefore if the RCU kthreads are waiting for RT
bandwidth to be available, they may never be actually scheduled.

This triggers TREE03 rcutorture hangs:

	 rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt self-detected stall on CPU
	 rcu:     4-...!: (1 GPs behind) idle=9874/1/0x4000000000000000 softirq=0/0 fqs=20 rcuc=21071 jiffies(starved)

The situation can't be solved with just unpinning the timer. The hrtimer
infrastructure and the nohz heuristics involved in finding the best
remote target for an unpinned timer would then also need to handle
enqueues from an offline CPU in the most horrendous way.

So fix this on the RCU side instead and defer the wake up to an online
CPU if it's too late for the local one.

[ Upstream commit 2be4686d866ad5896f2bb94d82fe892197aea9c7 ]

Export the RCU point of view as to when a CPU is considered offline
(ie: when does RCU consider that a CPU is sufficiently down in the
hotplug process to not feature any possible read side).

This will be used by RCU-tasks whose vision of an offline CPU should
reasonably match the one of RCU core.

[ Upstream commit 2be4686d866ad5896f2bb94d82fe892197aea9c7 ]

Export the RCU point of view as to when a CPU is considered offline
(ie: when does RCU consider that a CPU is sufficiently down in the
hotplug process to not feature any possible read side).

This will be used by RCU-tasks whose vision of an offline CPU should
reasonably match the one of RCU core.

[ Upstream commit 85d68222ddc5f4522e456d97d201166acb50f716 ]

Commit 851a723e45d1 ("sched: Always clear user_cpus_ptr in
do_set_cpus_allowed()") added a kfree() call to free any user
provided affinity mask, if present. It was changed later to use
kfree_rcu() in commit 9a5418bc48ba ("sched/core: Use kfree_rcu()
in do_set_cpus_allowed()") to avoid a circular locking dependency
problem.

It turns out that even kfree_rcu() isn't safe for avoiding
circular locking problem. As reported by kernel test robot,
the following circular locking dependency now exists:

  &amp;rdp-&gt;nocb_lock --&gt; rcu_node_0 --&gt; &amp;rq-&gt;__lock

Solve this by breaking the rcu_node_0 --&gt; &amp;rq-&gt;__lock chain by moving
the resched_cpu() out from under rcu_node lock.
