      "message": "rcu: Track idleness independent of idle tasks\n\nEarlier versions of RCU used the scheduling-clock tick to detect idleness\nby checking for the idle task, but handled idleness differently for\nCONFIG_NO_HZ\u003dy.  But there are now a number of uses of RCU read-side\ncritical sections in the idle task, for example, for tracing.  A more\nfine-grained detection of idleness is therefore required.\n\nThis commit presses the old dyntick-idle code into full-time service,\nso that rcu_idle_enter(), previously known as rcu_enter_nohz(), is\nalways invoked at the beginning of an idle loop iteration.  Similarly,\nrcu_idle_exit(), previously known as rcu_exit_nohz(), is always invoked\nat the end of an idle-loop iteration.  This allows the idle task to\nuse RCU everywhere except between consecutive rcu_idle_enter() and\nrcu_idle_exit() calls, in turn allowing architecture maintainers to\nspecify exactly where in the idle loop that RCU may be used.\n\nBecause some of the userspace upcall uses can result in what looks\nto RCU like half of an interrupt, it is not possible to expect that\nthe irq_enter() and irq_exit() hooks will give exact counts.  This\npatch therefore expands the -\u003edynticks_nesting counter to 64 bits\nand uses two separate bitfields to count process/idle transitions\nand interrupt entry/exit transitions.  It is presumed that userspace\nupcalls do not happen in the idle loop or from usermode execution\n(though usermode might do a system call that results in an upcall).\nThe counter is hard-reset on each process/idle transition, which\navoids the interrupt entry/exit error from accumulating.  Overflow\nis avoided by the 64-bitness of the -\u003edyntick_nesting counter.\n\nThis commit also adds warnings if a non-idle task asks RCU to enter\nidle state (and these checks will need some adjustment before applying\nFrederic\u0027s OS-jitter patches (http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/10/7/246).\nIn addition, validation of -\u003edynticks and -\u003edynticks_nesting is added.\n\nSigned-off-by: Paul E.

      "message": "rcu: introduce kfree_rcu()\n\nMany rcu callbacks functions just call kfree() on the base structure.\nThese functions are trivial, but their size adds up, and furthermore\nwhen they are used in a kernel module, that module must invoke the\nhigh-latency rcu_barrier() function at module-unload time.\n\nThe kfree_rcu() function introduced by this commit addresses this issue.\nRather than encoding a function address in the embedded rcu_head\nstructure, kfree_rcu() instead encodes the offset of the rcu_head\nstructure within the base structure.  Because the functions are not\nallowed in the low-order 4096 bytes of kernel virtual memory, offsets\nup to 4095 bytes can be accommodated.  If the offset is larger than\n4095 bytes, a compile-time error will be generated in __kfree_rcu().\nIf this error is triggered, you can either fall back to use of call_rcu()\nor rearrange the structure to position the rcu_head structure into the\nfirst 4096 bytes.\n\nNote that the allowable offset might decrease in the future, for example,\nto allow something like kmem_cache_free_rcu().\n\nThe new kfree_rcu() function can replace code as follows:\n\n\tcall_rcu(\u0026p-\u003ercu, simple_kfree_callback);\n\nwhere \"simple_kfree_callback()\" might be defined as follows:\n\n\tvoid simple_kfree_callback(struct rcu_head *p)\n\t{\n\t\tstruct foo *q \u003d container_of(p, struct foo, rcu);\n\n\t\tkfree(q);\n\t}\n\nwith the following:\n\n\tkfree_rcu(\u0026p-\u003ercu, rcu);\n\nNote that the \"rcu\" is the name of a field in the structure being\nfreed.  The reason for using this rather than passing in a pointer\nto the base structure is that the above approach allows better type\nchecking.\n\nThis commit is based on earlier work by Lai Jiangshan and Manfred Spraul:\n\nLai\u0027s V1 patch: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/18/1\nManfred\u0027s patch: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/2/115\n\nSigned-off-by: Lai Jiangshan \u003claijs@cn.fujitsu.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Manfred Spraul \u003cmanfred@colorfullife.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Paul E.

Statically initialized objects are detected with\n  object_is_static().\n- Rename rcu_head_init_on_stack to init_rcu_head_on_stack.\n- Remove init_rcu_head() completely.\n\nChangelog since v3:\n- Include comments from Lai Jiangshan\n\nThis new patch version is based on the debugobjects with the newly introduced\n\"active state\" tracker.\n\nNon-initialized entries are all considered as \"statically initialized\". An\nactivation fixup (triggered by call_rcu()) takes care of performing the debug\nobject initialization without issuing any warning. Since we cannot increase the\nsize of struct rcu_head, I don\u0027t see much room to put an identifier for\nstatically initialized rcu_head structures. So for now, we have to live without\n\"activation without explicit init\" detection. But the main purpose of this debug\noption is to detect double-activations (double call_rcu() use of a rcu_head\nbefore the callback is executed), which is correctly addressed here.\n\nThis also detects potential internal RCU callback corruption, which would cause\nthe callbacks to be executed twice.\n\nSigned-off-by: Mathieu Desnoyers \u003cmathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com\u003e\nCC: David S.

Your mileage may vary on other platforms.\nFurther compression is possible, but is being procrastinated.\n\nChanges from v7 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/10/9/388)\n\no\tApply Lai Jiangshan\u0027s review comments (aside from\nmight_sleep() \tin synchronize_sched(), which is covered by SMP builds).\n\no\tFix up expedited primitives.\n\nChanges from v6 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/9/23/293).\n\no\tForward ported to put it into the 2.6.33 stream.\n\no\tAdded lockdep support.\n\no\tMake lightweight rcu_barrier.\n\nChanges from v5 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/23/12).\n\no\tPorted to latest pre-2.6.32 merge window kernel.\n\n\t- Renamed rcu_qsctr_inc() to rcu_sched_qs().\n\t- Renamed rcu_bh_qsctr_inc() to rcu_bh_qs().\n\t- Provided trivial rcu_cpu_notify().\n\t- Provided trivial exit_rcu().\n\t- Provided trivial rcu_needs_cpu().\n\t- Fixed up the rcu_*_enter/exit() functions in linux/hardirq.h.\n\no\tRemoved the dependence on EMBEDDED, with a view to making\n\tTINY_RCU default for !SMP at some time in the future.\n\no\tAdded (trivial) support for expedited grace periods.\n\nChanges from v4 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/5/2/91) include:\n\no\tSqueeze the size down a bit further by removing the\n\t-\u003ecompleted field from struct rcu_ctrlblk.\n\no\tThis permits synchronize_rcu() to become the empty function.\n\tPrevious concerns about rcutorture were unfounded, as\n\trcutorture correctly handles a constant value from\n\trcu_batches_completed() and rcu_batches_completed_bh().\n\nChanges from v3 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/29/221) include:\n\no\tChanged rcu_batches_completed(), rcu_batches_completed_bh()\n\trcu_enter_nohz(), rcu_exit_nohz(), rcu_nmi_enter(), and\n\trcu_nmi_exit(), to be static inlines, as suggested by David\n\tHowells.  Doing this saves about 100 bytes from rcutiny.o.\n\t(The numbers between v3 and this v4 of the patch are not directly\n\tcomparable, since they are against different versions of Linux.)\n\nChanges from v2 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/2/3/333) include:\n\no\tFix whitespace issues.\n\no\tChange short-circuit \"||\" operator to instead be \"+\" in order\nto \tfix performance bug noted by \"kraai\" on LWN.\n\n\t\t(http://lwn.net/Articles/324348/)\n\nChanges from v1 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/13/440) include:\n\no\tThis version depends on EMBEDDED as well as !SMP, as suggested\n\tby Ingo.\n\no\tUpdated rcu_needs_cpu() to unconditionally return zero,\n\tpermitting the CPU to enter dynticks-idle mode at any time.\n\tThis works because callbacks can be invoked upon entry to\n\tdynticks-idle mode.\n\no\tPaul is now OK with this being included, based on a poll at\nthe \tKernel Miniconf at linux.conf.au, where about ten people said\n\tthat they cared about saving 900 bytes on single-CPU systems.\n\no\tApplies to both mainline and tip/core/rcu.\n\nSigned-off-by: Paul E.
