rcu: Export init_rcu_head() and destroy_rcu_head() to GPL modules

2018-02-16T19:23:11+00:00

commit 156baec39732f025dc778e00da95fc10d6e45885 upstream.

Use of init_rcu_head() and destroy_rcu_head() from modules results in
the following build-time error with CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD=y:

	ERROR: "init_rcu_head" [drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko] undefined!
	ERROR: "destroy_rcu_head" [drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko] undefined!

This commit therefore adds EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() for each to allow them to
be used by GPL-licensed kernel modules.

rcu: Create reasonable API for do_exit() TASKS_RCU processing

2017-08-17T14:26:05+00:00

Currently, the exit-time support for TASKS_RCU is open-coded in do_exit().
This commit creates exit_tasks_rcu_start() and exit_tasks_rcu_finish()
APIs for do_exit() use.  This has the benefit of confining the use of the
tasks_rcu_exit_srcu variable to one file, allowing it to become static.

rcu: Move rcu_expedited and rcu_normal externs from rcupdate.h

2017-06-09T01:52:27+00:00

The rcu_expedited and rcu_normal variables are used only by sysctl
and kernel/rcu/update.c, so it does not make sense to their extern
declarations in rcupdate.h.  This commit therefore moves these
extern declarations to update.c.

rcu: Move docbook comments out of rcupdate.h

2017-06-09T01:52:27+00:00

The include/linux/rcupdate.h file is included by more than 200
files, so shrinking it should provide some build-time benefits.
This commit therefore moves several docbook comments from rcupdate.h to
kernel/rcu/update.c, kernel/rcu/tree.c, and kernel/rcu/tree_plugin.h, thus
reducing the number of times that the compiler has to scan these comments.
This likely provides only a small benefit, but every little bit helps.

This commit also fixes a malformed bulleted list noted by the 0day
Test Robot.

rcu: Make synchronize_rcu_mult() check for duplicates

2017-06-08T15:25:39+00:00

Currently, doing synchronize_rcu_mult(call_rcu, call_rcu) might
(or might not) wait for two RCU grace periods.  One approach is
of course "don't do that!", but in CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernels,
synchronize_rcu_mult(call_rcu, call_rcu_sched) does exactly that.
This results in an ugly #ifdef in sched_cpu_deactivate().

This commit therefore makes __wait_rcu_gp() check for duplicates,
which in turn allows duplicates to be passed to synchronize_rcu_mult()
without risk of waiting twice on the same type of grace period.

rcu: Print out rcupdate.c non-default boot-time settings

2017-06-08T15:25:35+00:00

This commit adds a rcupdate_announce_bootup_oddness() function to
print out non-default values of significant kernel boot parameter
settings to aid in debugging.

rcu: Make non-preemptive schedule be Tasks RCU quiescent state

2017-04-21T12:59:27+00:00

Currently, a call to schedule() acts as a Tasks RCU quiescent state
only if a context switch actually takes place.  However, just the
call to schedule() guarantees that the calling task has moved off of
whatever tracing trampoline that it might have been one previously.
This commit therefore plumbs schedule()'s "preempt" parameter into
rcu_note_context_switch(), which then records the Tasks RCU quiescent
state, but only if this call to schedule() was -not- due to a preemption.

To avoid adding overhead to the common-case context-switch path,
this commit hides the rcu_note_context_switch() check under an existing
non-common-case check.

srcu: Allow SRCU to access rcu_scheduler_active

2017-04-18T18:38:18+00:00

This is primarily a code-movement commit in preparation for allowing
SRCU to handle early-boot SRCU grace periods.

sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to

We are going to split  out of , which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.

Create a trivial placeholder  file that just
maps to  to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.
