If the cpu_possible_mask is sparse (for example, if bits are set only for
CPUs 0, 4, 8, ...), then rcu_tasks_invoke_cbs() will access per-CPU data
for a CPU not in cpu_possible_mask.  It makes these accesses while doing
a workqueue-based binary search for non-empty callback lists.  Although
this search must pass through CPUs not represented in cpu_possible_mask,
it has no need to check the callback list for such CPUs.

This commit therefore changes the rcu_tasks_invoke_cbs() function's
binary search so as to only check callback lists for CPUs present in
cpu_possible_mask.

<content type='text'>
If the rcupdate.rcu_task_enqueue_lim kernel boot parameter is set to
something greater than 1 and less than nr_cpu_ids, the code attempts to
use a subset of the CPU's RCU Tasks callback lists.  This works, but only
if the cpu_possible_mask is contiguous.  If there are "holes" in this
mask, the callback-enqueue code might attempt to access a non-existent
per-CPU -&gt;rtcpu variable for a non-existent CPU.  For example, if only
CPUs 0, 4, 8, 12, 16 and so on are in cpu_possible_mask, specifying
rcupdate.rcu_task_enqueue_lim=4 would cause the code to attempt to
use callback queues for non-existent CPUs 1, 2, and 3.  Because such
systems have existed in the past and might still exist, the code needs
to gracefully handle this situation.

This commit therefore checks to see whether the desired CPU is present
in cpu_possible_mask, and, if not, searches for the next CPU.  This means
that the systems administrator of a system with a sparse cpu_possible_mask
will need to account for this sparsity when specifying the value of
the rcupdate.rcu_task_enqueue_lim kernel boot parameter.  For example,
setting this parameter to the value 4 will use only CPUs 0 and 4, which
CPU 4 getting three times the callback load of CPU 0.

This commit assumes that bit (nr_cpu_ids - 1) is always set in
cpu_possible_mask.

Currently, the show_rcu_tasks_generic_gp_kthread() function only looks
at CPU 0's callback lists.  Although this is not fatal, it can confuse
debugging efforts in cases where any of the Tasks RCU flavors are in
per-CPU queueing mode.  This commit therefore causes this function to
scan all CPUs' callback queues.

The use of hrtimers for RCU-tasks grace-period delays works well in
general, but can result in excessive grace-period delays for some
corner-case workloads.  This commit therefore reverts to the use of
timers for non-RT kernels to mitigate those grace-period delays.

<title>rcu-tasks: Use schedule_hrtimeout_range() to wait for grace periods</title>

<content type='text'>
The synchronous RCU-tasks grace-period-wait primitives invoke
schedule_timeout_idle() to give readers a chance to exit their
read-side critical sections.  Unfortunately, this fails during early
boot on PREEMPT_RT because PREEMPT_RT relies solely on ksoftirqd to run
timer handlers.  Because ksoftirqd cannot operate until its kthreads
are spawned, there is a brief period of time following scheduler
initialization where PREEMPT_RT cannot run the timer handlers that
schedule_timeout_idle() relies on, resulting in a hang.

To avoid this boot-time hang, this commit replaces schedule_timeout_idle()
with schedule_hrtimeout(), so that the timer expires in hardirq context.
This is ensures that the timer fires even on PREEMPT_RT throughout the
irqs-enabled portions of boot as well as during runtime.

The timer is set to expire between fract and fract + HZ / 2 jiffies in
order to align with any other timers that might expire during that time,
thus reducing the number of wakeups.

Note that RCU-tasks grace periods are infrequent, so the use of hrtimer
should be fine.  In contrast, in common-case code, user of hrtimer
could result in performance issues.

<title>rcu-tasks: Use rcuwait for the rcu_tasks_kthread()</title>

The waitqueue used by rcu_tasks_kthread() has always only one waiter.
With a guaranteed only one waiter, this can be replaced with rcuwait
which is smaller and simpler. With rcuwait based wake counterpart, the
irqwork function (call_rcu_tasks_iw_wakeup()) can be invoked hardirq
context because it is only a wake up and no sleeping locks are involved
(unlike the wait_queue_head).
As a side effect, this is also one piece of the puzzle to pass the RCU
selftest at early boot on PREEMPT_RT.

Replace wait_queue_head with rcuwait and let the irqwork run in hardirq
context on PREEMPT_RT.

<title>rcu-tasks: Print pre-stall-warning informational messages</title>

RCU-tasks stall-warning messages are printed after the grace period is ten
minutes old.  Unfortunately, most of us will have rebooted the system in
response to an apparently-hung command long before the ten minutes is up,
and will thus see what looks to be a silent hang.

This commit therefore adds pr_info() messages that are printed earlier.
These should avoid being classified as errors, but should give impatient
users a hint.  These are controlled by new rcupdate.rcu_task_stall_info
and rcupdate.rcu_task_stall_info_mult kernel-boot parameters.  The former
defines the initial delay in jiffies (defaulting to 10 seconds) and the
latter defines the multiplier (defaulting to 3).  Thus, by default, the
first message will appear 10 seconds into the RCU-tasks grace period,
the second 40 seconds in, and the third 160 seconds in.  There would be
a fourth at 640 seconds in, but the stall warning message appears 600
seconds in, and once a stall warning is printed for a given grace period,
no further informational messages are printed.

This commit therefore fixes this issue by applying a single-CPU
optimization to the RCU Tasks Rude grace-period process.  The key point
here is that the purpose of this RCU flavor is to force a schedule on
each online CPU since some past event.  But the rcu_tasks_rude_wait_gp()
function runs in the context of the RCU Tasks Rude's grace-period kthread,
so there must already have been a context switch on the current CPU since
the call to either synchronize_rcu_tasks_rude() or call_rcu_tasks_rude().
So if there is only a single CPU online, RCU Tasks Rude's grace-period
kthread does not need to anything at all.

It turns out that the rcu_tasks_rude_wait_gp() function's call to
schedule_on_each_cpu() causes problems during early boot.  During that
time, there is only one online CPU, namely the boot CPU.  Therefore,
applying this single-CPU optimization fixes early-boot instances of
this problem.

This commit therefore fixes this issue by applying a single-CPU
optimization to the RCU Tasks Rude grace-period process.  The key point
here is that the purpose of this RCU flavor is to force a schedule on
each online CPU since some past event.  But the rcu_tasks_rude_wait_gp()
function runs in the context of the RCU Tasks Rude's grace-period kthread,
so there must already have been a context switch on the current CPU since
the call to either synchronize_rcu_tasks_rude() or call_rcu_tasks_rude().
So if there is only a single CPU online, RCU Tasks Rude's grace-period
kthread does not need to anything at all.

It turns out that the rcu_tasks_rude_wait_gp() function's call to
schedule_on_each_cpu() causes problems during early boot.  During that
time, there is only one online CPU, namely the boot CPU.  Therefore,
applying this single-CPU optimization fixes early-boot instances of
this problem.
