[ Upstream commit fed31a4dd3adb5455df7c704de2abb639a1dc1c0 ]

This commit fixes several typos where CONFIG_TASKS_RCU_TRACE should
instead be CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU.  Among other things, these typos
could cause CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB=y kernels to suffer from
memory-ordering bugs that could result in false-positive quiescent
states and too-short grace periods.

<title>rcu: Fix stall-warning deadlock due to non-release of rcu_node -&gt;lock</title>

[ Upstream commit dc87740c8a6806bd2162bfb441770e4e53be5601 ]

If rcu_print_task_stall() is invoked on an rcu_node structure that does
not contain any tasks blocking the current grace period, it takes an
early exit that fails to release that rcu_node structure's lock.  This
results in a self-deadlock, which is detected by lockdep.

To reproduce this bug:

tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/kvm.sh --allcpus --duration 3 --trust-make --configs "TREE03" --kconfig "CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y" --bootargs "rcutorture.stall_cpu=30 rcutorture.stall_cpu_block=1 rcutorture.fwd_progress=0 rcutorture.test_boost=0"

This will also result in other complaints, including RCU's scheduler
hook complaining about blocking rather than preemption and an rcutorture
writer stall.

Only a partial RCU CPU stall warning message will be printed because of
the self-deadlock.

This commit therefore releases the lock on the rcu_print_task_stall()
function's early exit path.

[ Upstream commit a649d25dcc671a33b9cc3176411920fdc5fbd98e ]

This commit adds a number of lockdep_assert_irqs_disabled() calls
to rcu_sched_clock_irq() and a number of the functions that it calls.
The point of this is to help track down a situation where lockdep appears
to be insisting that interrupts are enabled within these functions, which
should only ever be invoked from the scheduling-clock interrupt handler.

[ Upstream commit e6a901a44f76878ed1653626c9ff4cfc5a3f58f8 ]

The for loop in rcu_print_task_stall() always omits ts[0], which points
to the first task blocking the stalled grace period.  This in turn fails
to count this first task, which means that ndetected will be equal to
zero when all CPUs have passed through their quiescent states and only
one task is blocking the stalled grace period.  This zero value for
ndetected will in turn result in an incorrect "All QSes seen" message:

rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:

[ Upstream commit ccfc9dd6914feaa9a81f10f9cce56eb0f7712264 ]

The soft watchdog timer function checks if a virtual machine
was suspended and hence what looks like a lockup in fact
is a false positive.

This is what kvm_check_and_clear_guest_paused() does: it
tests guest PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED (which is set by the host)
and if it's set then we need to touch all watchdogs and bail
out.

Watchdog timer function runs from IRQ, so PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED
check works fine.

There is, however, one more watchdog that runs from IRQ, so
watchdog timer fn races with it, and that watchdog is not aware
of PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED - RCU stall detector.

apic_timer_interrupt()
 smp_apic_timer_interrupt()
  hrtimer_interrupt()
   __hrtimer_run_queues()
    tick_sched_timer()
     tick_sched_handle()
      update_process_times()
       rcu_sched_clock_irq()

This triggers RCU stalls on our devices during VM resume.

If tick_sched_handle()-&gt;rcu_sched_clock_irq() runs on a VCPU
before watchdog_timer_fn()-&gt;kvm_check_and_clear_guest_paused()
then there is nothing on this VCPU that touches watchdogs and
RCU reads stale gp stall timestamp and new jiffies value, which
makes it think that RCU has stalled.

Make RCU stall watchdog aware of PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED and
don't report RCU stalls when we resume the VM.

commit 8b5bd67cf6422b63ee100d76d8de8960ca2df7f0 upstream.

There is a need for a polling interface for SRCU grace
periods, so this commit supplies get_state_synchronize_srcu(),
start_poll_synchronize_srcu(), and poll_state_synchronize_srcu() for this
purpose.  The first can be used if future grace periods are inevitable
(perhaps due to a later call_srcu() invocation), the second if future
grace periods might not otherwise happen, and the third to check if a
grace period has elapsed since the corresponding call to either of the
first two.

As with get_state_synchronize_rcu() and cond_synchronize_rcu(),
the return value from either get_state_synchronize_srcu() or
start_poll_synchronize_srcu() must be passed in to a later call to
poll_state_synchronize_srcu().

commit 74612a07b83fc46c2b2e6f71a541d55b024ebefc upstream.

There is a need for a polling interface for SRCU grace periods.  This
polling needs to distinguish between an SRCU instance being idle on the
one hand or in the middle of a grace period on the other.  This commit
therefore converts the Tiny SRCU srcu_struct structure's srcu_idx from
a defacto boolean to a free-running counter, using the bottom bit to
indicate that a grace period is in progress.  The second-from-bottom
bit is thus used as the index returned by srcu_read_lock().

commit 1a893c711a600ab57526619b56e6f6b7be00956e upstream.

There is a need for a polling interface for SRCU grace periods.
This polling needs to initiate an SRCU grace period without
having to queue (and manage) a callback.  This commit therefore
splits the Tiny SRCU call_srcu() function into callback-queuing and
start-grace-period portions, with the latter in a new function named
srcu_gp_start_if_needed().

commit 5358c9fa54b09b5d3d7811b033aa0838c1bbaaf2 upstream.

There is a need for a polling interface for SRCU grace
periods, so this commit supplies get_state_synchronize_srcu(),
start_poll_synchronize_srcu(), and poll_state_synchronize_srcu() for this
purpose.  The first can be used if future grace periods are inevitable
(perhaps due to a later call_srcu() invocation), the second if future
grace periods might not otherwise happen, and the third to check if a
grace period has elapsed since the corresponding call to either of the
first two.

As with get_state_synchronize_rcu() and cond_synchronize_rcu(),
the return value from either get_state_synchronize_srcu() or
start_poll_synchronize_srcu() must be passed in to a later call to
poll_state_synchronize_srcu().

commit 29d2bb94a8a126ce80ffbb433b648b32fdea524e upstream.

There is a need for a polling interface for SRCU grace periods.
This polling needs to initiate an SRCU grace period without having
to queue (and manage) a callback.  This commit therefore splits the
Tree SRCU __call_srcu() function into callback-initialization and
queuing/start-grace-period portions, with the latter in a new function
named srcu_gp_start_if_needed().  This function may be passed a NULL
callback pointer, in which case it will refrain from queuing anything.

Why have the new function mess with queuing?  Locking considerations,
of course!
