And cleans up the variable-name\nand function-name language. ;-)\n\nThe boot CPU runs in the context of its idle thread during boot-up.\nDuring this time, idle_cpu(0) will always return nonzero, which will\nfool Classic and Hierarchical RCU into deciding that a large chunk of\nthe boot-up sequence is a big long quiescent state. This in turn causes\nRCU to prematurely end grace periods during this time.\n\nThis patch changes the rcutree.c and rcuclassic.c rcu_check_callbacks()\nfunction to ignore the idle task as a quiescent state until the\nsystem has started up the scheduler in rest_init(), introducing a\nnew non-API function rcu_idle_now_means_idle() to inform RCU of this\ntransition. RCU maintains an internal rcu_idle_cpu_truthful variable\nto track this state, which is then used by rcu_check_callback() to\ndetermine if it should believe idle_cpu().\n\nBecause this patch has the effect of disallowing RCU grace periods\nduring long stretches of the boot-up sequence, this patch also introduces\nJosh Triplett\u0027s UP-only optimization that makes synchronize_rcu() be a\nno-op if num_online_cpus() returns 1. This allows boot-time code that\ncalls synchronize_rcu() to proceed normally. Note, however, that RCU\ncallbacks registered by call_rcu() will likely queue up until later in\nthe boot sequence. Although rcuclassic and rcutree can also use this\nsame optimization after boot completes, rcupreempt must restrict its\nuse of this optimization to the portion of the boot sequence before the\nscheduler starts up, given that an rcupreempt RCU read-side critical\nsection may be preeempted.\n\nIn addition, this patch takes Nick Piggin\u0027s suggestion to make the\nsystem_state global variable be __read_mostly.\n\nChanges since v4:\n\no\tChanges the name of the introduced function and variable to\n\tbe less emotional. ;-)\n\nChanges since v3:\n\no\tWARN_ON(nr_context_switches() \u003e 0) to verify that RCU\n\tswitches out of boot-time mode before the first context\n\tswitch, as suggested by Nick Piggin.\n\nChanges since v2:\n\no\tCreated rcu_blocking_is_gp() internal-to-RCU API that\n\tdetermines whether a call to synchronize_rcu() is itself\n\ta grace period.\n\no\tThe definition of rcu_blocking_is_gp() for rcuclassic and\n\trcutree checks to see if but a single CPU is online.\n\no\tThe definition of rcu_blocking_is_gp() for rcupreempt\n\tchecks to see both if but a single CPU is online and if\n\tthe system is still in early boot.\n\n\tThis allows rcupreempt to again work correctly if running\n\ton a single CPU after booting is complete.\n\no\tAdded check to rcupreempt\u0027s synchronize_sched() for there\n\tbeing but one online CPU.\n\nTested all three variants both SMP and !SMP, booted fine, passed a short\nrcutorture test on both x86 and Power.\n\nLocated-by: Vegard Nossum \u003cvegard.nossum@gmail.com\u003e\nTested-by: Vegard Nossum \u003cvegard.nossum@gmail.com\u003e\nTested-by: Paul E.

There are\ntwo types of controls - number of completed RCU updates invoked in a batch\n(blimit) and monitoring for high rate of incoming RCUs on a cpu (qhimark,\nqlowmark).\n\nBy default, the per-cpu batch limit is set to a small value. If the input\nRCU rate exceeds the high watermark, we do two things - force quiescent\nstate on all cpus and set the batch limit of the CPU to INTMAX. Setting\nbatch limit to INTMAX forces all finished RCUs to be processed in one shot.\n If we have more than INTMAX RCUs queued up, then we have bigger problems\nanyway. Once the incoming queued RCUs fall below the low watermark, the\nbatch limit is set to the default.\n\nSigned-off-by: Dipankar Sarma \u003cdipankar@in.ibm.com\u003e\nCc: \"Paul E.
