[ Upstream commit 6cf539a87a61a4fbc43f625267dbcbcf283872ed ]

This fixes a data-race where `atomic_t dynticks` is copied by value. The
copy is performed non-atomically, resulting in a data-race if `dynticks`
is updated concurrently.

This data-race was found with KCSAN:

<title>rcu: Fix missed wakeup of exp_wq waiters</title>

[ Upstream commit fd6bc19d7676a060a171d1cf3dcbf6fd797eb05f ]

Tasks waiting within exp_funnel_lock() for an expedited grace period to
elapse can be starved due to the following sequence of events:

1.	Tasks A and B both attempt to start an expedited grace
	period at about the same time.	This grace period will have
	completed when the lower four bits of the rcu_state structure's
	-&gt;expedited_sequence field are 0b'0100', for example, when the
	initial value of this counter is zero.	Task A wins, and thus
	does the actual work of starting the grace period, including
	acquiring the rcu_state structure's .exp_mutex and sets the
	counter to 0b'0001'.

2.	Because task B lost the race to start the grace period, it
	waits on -&gt;expedited_sequence to reach 0b'0100' inside of
	exp_funnel_lock(). This task therefore blocks on the rcu_node
	structure's -&gt;exp_wq[1] field, keeping in mind that the
	end-of-grace-period value of -&gt;expedited_sequence (0b'0100')
	is shifted down two bits before indexing the -&gt;exp_wq[] field.

3.	Task C attempts to start another expedited grace period,
	but blocks on -&gt;exp_mutex, which is still held by Task A.

4.	The aforementioned expedited grace period completes, so that
	-&gt;expedited_sequence now has the value 0b'0100'.  A kworker task
	therefore acquires the rcu_state structure's -&gt;exp_wake_mutex
	and starts awakening any tasks waiting for this grace period.

5.	One of the first tasks awakened happens to be Task A.  Task A
	therefore releases the rcu_state structure's -&gt;exp_mutex,
	which allows Task C to start the next expedited grace period,
	which causes the lower four bits of the rcu_state structure's
	-&gt;expedited_sequence field to become 0b'0101'.

6.	Task C's expedited grace period completes, so that the lower four
	bits of the rcu_state structure's -&gt;expedited_sequence field now
	become 0b'1000'.

7.	The kworker task from step 4 above continues its wakeups.
	Unfortunately, the wake_up_all() refetches the rcu_state
	structure's .expedited_sequence field:

	wake_up_all(&amp;rnp-&gt;exp_wq[rcu_seq_ctr(rcu_state.expedited_sequence) &amp; 0x3]);

	This results in the wakeup being applied to the rcu_node
	structure's -&gt;exp_wq[2] field, which is unfortunate given that
	Task B is instead waiting on -&gt;exp_wq[1].

On a busy system, no harm is done (or at least no permanent harm is done).
Some later expedited grace period will redo the wakeup.  But on a quiet
system, such as many embedded systems, it might be a good long time before
there was another expedited grace period.  On such embedded systems,
this situation could therefore result in a system hang.

This issue manifested as DPM device timeout during suspend (which
usually qualifies as a quiet time) due to a SCSI device being stuck in
_synchronize_rcu_expedited(), with the following stack trace:

	schedule()
	synchronize_rcu_expedited()
	synchronize_rcu()
	scsi_device_quiesce()
	scsi_bus_suspend()
	dpm_run_callback()
	__device_suspend()

This commit therefore prevents such delays, timeouts, and hangs by
making rcu_exp_wait_wake() use its "s" argument consistently instead of
refetching from rcu_state.expedited_sequence.

[ Upstream commit 610dea36d3083a977e4f156206cbe1eaa2a532f0 ]

Commit 18cd8c93e69e ("rcu/nocb: Print gp/cb kthread hierarchy if
dump_tree") added print statements to rcu_organize_nocb_kthreads for
debugging, but incorrectly guarded them, causing the function to always
spew out its message.

This patch fixes it by guarding both pr_alert statements with dump_tree,
while also changing the second pr_alert to a pr_cont, to print the
hierarchy in a single line (assuming that's how it was supposed to
work).

commit c51f83c315c392d9776c33eb16a2fe1349d65c7f upstream.

The rcu_node structure's -&gt;expmask field is updated only when holding the
-&gt;lock, but is also accessed locklessly.  This means that all -&gt;expmask
updates must use WRITE_ONCE() and all reads carried out without holding
-&gt;lock must use READ_ONCE().  This commit therefore changes the lockless
-&gt;expmask read in rcu_read_unlock_special() to use READ_ONCE().

commit 6935c3983b246d5fbfebd3b891c825e65c118f2d upstream.

The rcu_gp_fqs_check_wake() function uses rcu_preempt_blocked_readers_cgp()
to read -&gt;gp_tasks while other cpus might overwrite this field.

We need READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() pairs to avoid compiler
tricks and KCSAN splats like the following :

commit 6935c3983b246d5fbfebd3b891c825e65c118f2d upstream.

The rcu_gp_fqs_check_wake() function uses rcu_preempt_blocked_readers_cgp()
to read -&gt;gp_tasks while other cpus might overwrite this field.

We need READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() pairs to avoid compiler
tricks and KCSAN splats like the following :

<title>rcu: Use *_ONCE() to protect lockless -&gt;expmask accesses</title>

commit 15c7c972cd26d89a26788e609c53b5a465324a6c upstream.

The rcu_node structure's -&gt;expmask field is accessed locklessly when
starting a new expedited grace period and when reporting an expedited
RCU CPU stall warning.  This commit therefore handles the former by
taking a snapshot of -&gt;expmask while the lock is held and the latter
by applying READ_ONCE() to lockless reads and WRITE_ONCE() to the
corresponding updates.

New tools bring new warnings, and with v5.3 comes:

kernel/rcu/srcutree.c: warning: 'levelspread[&lt;U aa0&gt;]' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]:  =&gt; 121:34

This commit suppresses this warning by initializing the full array
to INT_MIN, which will result in failures should any out-of-bounds
references appear.

We never set this to false.  This probably doesn't affect most people's
runtime because GCC will automatically initialize it to false at certain
common optimization levels.  But that behavior is related to a bug in
GCC and obviously should not be relied on.
