There now is only one rcu_state structure in a given build of the Linux kernel, so there is no need to pass it as a parameter to RCU's functions. This commit therefore removes the rsp parameter from rcu_check_quiescent_state(). Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The rcu_data_p pointer references the default set of per-CPU rcu_data structures, that is, those that call_rcu() uses, as opposed to call_rcu_bh() and sometimes call_rcu_sched(). But there is now only one set of per-CPU rcu_data structures, so that one set is by definition the default, which means that the rcu_data_p pointer no longer serves any useful purpose. This commit therefore removes it. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The rcu_state structure's ->rda field was used to find the per-CPU rcu_data structures corresponding to that rcu_state structure. But now there is only one rcu_state structure (creatively named "rcu_state") and one set of per-CPU rcu_data structures (creatively named "rcu_data"). Therefore, uses of the ->rda field can always be replaced by "rcu_data, and this commit makes that change and removes the ->rda field. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The rcu_state structure's ->call field references the corresponding RCU flavor's call_rcu() function. However, now that there is only ever one rcu_state structure in a given build of the Linux kernel, and that flavor uses plain old call_rcu(), there is not a lot of point in continuing to have the ->call field. This commit therefore removes it. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Now that a given build of the Linux kernel has only one set of rcu_state, rcu_node, and rcu_data structures, there is no point in creating a macro to declare and compile-time initialize them. This commit therefore just does normal declaration and compile-time initialization of these structures. While in the area, this commit also removes #ifndefs of the no-longer-ever-defined preprocessor macro RCU_TREE_NONCORE. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This commit renames Tiny RCU functions so that the lowest level of functionality is RCU (e.g., synchronize_rcu()) rather than RCU-sched (e.g., synchronize_sched()). This provides greater naming compatibility with Tree RCU, which will in turn permit more LoC removal once the RCU-sched and RCU-bh update-side API is removed. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Now that RCU-preempt knows about preemption disabling, its implementation of synchronize_rcu() works for synchronize_sched(), and likewise for the other RCU-sched update-side API members. This commit therefore confines the RCU-sched update-side code to CONFIG_PREEMPT=n builds, and defines RCU-sched's update-side API members in terms of those of RCU-preempt. This means that any given build of the Linux kernel has only one update-side flavor of RCU, namely RCU-preempt for CONFIG_PREEMPT=y builds and RCU-sched for CONFIG_PREEMPT=n builds. This in turn means that kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y have only one rcuo kthread per CPU. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

The rcu_report_exp_rdp() function is always invoked with its "wake" argument set to "true", so this commit drops this parameter. The only potential call site that would use "false" is in the code driving the expedited grace period, and that code uses rcu_report_exp_cpu_mult() instead, which therefore retains its "wake" parameter.

Now that the main RCU API knows about softirq disabling and softirq's quiescent states, the RCU-bh update code can be dispensed with. This commit therefore removes the RCU-bh update-side implementation and defines RCU-bh's update-side API in terms of that of either RCU-preempt or RCU-sched, depending on the setting of the CONFIG_PREEMPT Kconfig option. In kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y this has the knock-on effect of reducing by one the number of rcuo kthreads per CPU. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This commit reduces the latency of expedited RCU grace periods by reporting a quiescent state for the CPU at context-switch time. In CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels, if the outgoing task is still within an RCU read-side critical section (and thus still blocking some grace period, perhaps including this expedited grace period), then that task will already have been placed on one of the leaf rcu_node structures' ->blkd_tasks list.

One necessary step towards consolidating the three flavors of RCU is to make sure that the resulting consolidated "one flavor to rule them all" correctly handles networking denial-of-service attacks. One thing that allows RCU-bh to do so is that __do_softirq() invokes rcu_bh_qs() every so often, and so something similar has to happen for consolidated RCU. This must be done carefully. For example, if a preemption-disabled region of code takes an interrupt which does softirq processing before returning, consolidated RCU must ignore the resulting rcu_bh_qs() invocations -- preemption is still disabled, and that means an RCU reader for the consolidated flavor. This commit therefore creates a new rcu_softirq_qs() that is called only from the ksoftirqd task, thus avoiding the interrupted-a-preempted-region problem. This new rcu_softirq_qs() function invokes rcu_sched_qs(), rcu_preempt_qs(), and rcu_preempt_deferred_qs(). The latter call handles any deferred quiescent states. Note that __do_softirq() still invokes rcu_bh_qs(). It will continue to do so until a later stage of cleanup when the RCU-bh flavor is removed. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

RCU's dyntick-idle code is written to tolerate half-interrupts, that it, either an interrupt that invokes rcu_irq_enter() but never invokes the corresponding rcu_irq_exit() on the one hand, or an interrupt that never invokes rcu_irq_enter() but does invoke the "corresponding" rcu_irq_exit() on the other. These things really did happen at one time, as evidenced by this ca-2011 LKML post: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20111014170019.GE2428@linux.vnet.ibm.com The reason why RCU tolerates half-interrupts is that usermode helpers used exceptions to invoke a system call from within the kernel such that the system call did a normal return (not a return from exception) to the calling context. This caused rcu_irq_enter() to be invoked without a matching rcu_irq_exit(). However, usermode helpers have since been rewritten to make much more housebroken use of workqueues, kernel threads, and do_execve(), and therefore should no longer produce half-interrupts. No one knows of any other source of half-interrupts, but then again, no one seems insane enough to go audit the entire kernel to verify that half-interrupts really are a relic of the past. This commit therefore adds a pair of WARN_ON_ONCE() calls that will trigger in the presence of half interrupts, which the code will continue to handle correctly. If neither of these WARN_ON_ONCE() trigger by mid-2021, then perhaps RCU can stop handling half-interrupts, which would be a considerable simplification.

The ->b.exp_need_qs field is now set only to false, so this commit removes it. The job this field used to do is now done by the rcu_data structure's ->deferred_qs field, which is a consequence of a better split between task-based (the rcu_node structure's ->exp_tasks field) and CPU-based (the aforementioned rcu_data structure's ->deferred_qs field) tracking of quiescent states for RCU-preempt expedited grace periods.

If an RCU-preempt read-side critical section is exiting, that is, ->rcu_read_lock_nesting is negative, then it is a good time to look at the possibility of reporting deferred quiescent states. This commit therefore updates the checks in rcu_preempt_need_deferred_qs() to allow exiting critical sections to report deferred quiescent states. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

This commit makes the "rcu" torture type test extended read-side critical sections in order to test the deferral of RCU-preempt quiescent-state testing. In CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernels, this simply duplicates the setup already in place for the "sched" torture type. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
