rcu: Use wrapper for lockdep asserts

2018-02-21T00:12:26+00:00

Commits c0b334c5bfa9 and ea9b0c8a26a2 introduced new sparse warnings
by accessing rcu_node->lock directly and ignoring the __private
marker.  Introduce a new wrapper and use it.  Also fix a similar problem
in srcutree.c introduced by a3883df3935e.

rcu: Remove obsolete callback-invocation statistics for debugfs

2018-02-21T00:10:27+00:00

The debugfs interface displayed statistics on RCU callback invocation but
this interface has since been removed.  This commit therefore removes the
no-longer-used rcu_data structure's ->n_cbs_invoked and ->n_nocbs_invoked
fields along with their updates.

If this information proves necessary in the future, the corresponding
event traces will be added.

rcu: Remove obsolete boost statistics for debugfs

2018-02-21T00:10:27+00:00

The debugfs interface displayed statistics on RCU priority boosting,
but this interface has since been removed.  This commit therefore
removes the no-longer-used rcu_data structure's ->n_tasks_boosted,
->n_exp_boosts, and ->n_exp_boosts and their updates.

If this information proves necessary in the future, the corresponding

rcu: Call touch_nmi_watchdog() while printing stall warnings

2018-02-21T00:10:26+00:00

When RCU stall warning triggers, it can print out a lot of messages
while holding spinlocks.  If the console device is slow (e.g. an
actual or IPMI serial console), it may end up triggering NMI hard
lockup watchdog like the following.

Avoid spuriously triggering NMI hardlockup watchdog by touching it
from the print functions.  show_state_filter() shares the same problem
and solution.

rcu: Fix CPU offload boot message when no CPUs are offloaded

2018-02-21T00:10:19+00:00

In CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y kernels, if the boot parameters indicate that
none of the CPUs should in fact be offloaded, the following somewhat
obtuse message appears:

	Offload RCU callbacks from CPUs: .

This commit therefore makes the message at least grammatically correct
in this case:

	Offload RCU callbacks from CPUs: (none)

rcu: Remove have_rcu_nocb_mask from tree_plugin.h

2017-12-11T17:17:40+00:00

Currently have_rcu_nocb_mask is used to avoid double allocation of
rcu_nocb_mask during boot up. Due to different representation of
cpumask_var_t on different kernel config CPUMASK=y(or n) it was okay.
But now we have a helper cpumask_available(), which can be utilized
to check whether rcu_nocb_mask has been allocated or not without using
a variable.

Removing the variable also reduces vmlinux size.

rcu: Shrink ->dynticks_{nmi_,}nesting from long long to long

2017-11-28T23:51:18+00:00

Because the ->dynticks_nesting field now only contains the process-based
nesting level instead of a value encoding both the process nesting level
and the irq "nesting" level, we no longer need a long long, even on
32-bit systems.  This commit therefore changes both the ->dynticks_nesting
and ->dynticks_nmi_nesting fields to long.

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"
